Let us arouse to the neces sity ami privilege of the work. 11 A i!iti ET Secy. There are a whole lot of supposed Democrats in Sullivan county, who will vote the Republican ticket this fall. The hard tifaes of the past two years and the bringing on of the Judicial contest, has wrought a big change in our midst. Mr. Jeremiah Kelly of Hughes - vi He, while in town Friday, paid his respects to the REPUBLICAN office. Mr. Kelly is one of the many pros perous merchants of the 'Burg and reports business very good consider ing the fact that the farmers are busy reaping their crops. The Towanda and Eagles Mere base ball clubs will cross bats at Eagles Mere, to-day, Friday. The Towanda boys have already beaten the 'Mere boys twice this season and it is presumed that they will give them tlic same medicine at this meet ing. A large number of ball playeis of Laporte will witness the game and will "whoop 'er tip" for the Towanda team. The County Commissioners are having a flag stone walk laid in front of the courthouse. The slone are quirred from the D. 11. Lorah quirry near Sonestown and they are first class in every respect. There is some iron ore in the stone, hence tbey are very hard. Mr. Lorah furnishes the stone and places them for 18 cents a square foot. Our people consider this cheap and are considering the advisability of plac ing the same along their town prop erty.

EAGLES MERE, Aug. 3. —The Bum mer festivities have begun in good earnest at this resort. The influx of visitors has been enormous for the past to weeks, and the knowing ones whose predictions early in the seison cast a gloom over hotel men, have entirely disappeared; their hotels now being comfortably crowded. The pic-nic season is now fully on, as almost every day marks the advent of one or more of those 'Mere pic-nic parties that are so highly enjoyed. This week's delightful en joyment was wound up to-day with a ball game between the local team and South Williamsport, the former winning easily; an excursion of five hundred pleasure seekers and a grand social hop at (he Casino. The day was a grand one and the placid bosom of the lake was most beautiful in consequence. Boating, swimming and all sorts of diversion made the time pass swiftly. As the excursion train was about leaving for the return trip, a pair of indis crete excursionists who were enjoy ing love's blissful dream in a row boat, oblivious to time and every thing else, came within an ace of getting left. The race to the depot was neck and neck. The 112 ain that carried the excursionists was taxed to her limit by the crowd. The general affairs of this popular resort rests in the immediate charge of Captain E. S. Chase, a genial fel low, with all the elements of popu larity, thoroughly in touch with all particulars concerning the resort, and takes vast pleasure in informing an inquisitor on all matters in har mony witli reason. One of the principle drawing cards this season is the new Casino, erect ed by Messrs. Mentz & Fleming. Dances are conducted at this place Tuesday and Friday evenings of each week, and at other times used solely for the popular fad—geruian. Messrs. Mentz & Fleming have spared nothing in making this struc ture complete in every detail, regard less of cost or Ihe outcome of the investment. They have, never the less, realized more than expected. The hospitality these gentlemen ex tend to patrons, seldom fail* to dr»w [ large Attendances on all occasion. * RtMrt ol the First While NM OH the North and Weal Braueh ul the NaiMiaehMiia, BY W H. MKYLBKT. [CONTINUED FROM LAST WKKK.] An important question that con fronted Win. Penn in connection with his Province was the Indian trade; the western boundary of which according to the grant of the crown of England was five degrees 300 miles west of the Delaware. France at that time claimed all the lands the drainage of which came either to the Mississippi or St. Lawrence rivers and in addition to the right of soil was that of the exclusive right to the trade with the Indians pying the same, and in order to es tablish their claim and show proof of the same, buried leaden plates in the earth with inscriptions certifying their object on the other hand. The English asserted their right to the trade of the tribes of those who by treaty had become the sub jects of the King of England. The Iroquoi nations were the controlling power on the Susquehanna at this time having taken the country by conquest and resided principaly in New York they first had entered in to a treaty of allegance to the Dutch and when that nation was superceded by the English they bound them selves to allegance to the crown of England. The Delawares and other nations entered into separate treaties with the English but were subor» dinate to the Iroquois, A small rem» nant of the original Susquehanna tribe afterwards known as Conesto gas not controlled by the Iriquos at the time of the settlement of Penn sylvania was made by treaty with Wm. Penn at Philadelphia, April 3d 1701 bound first to allegance to the crown of England next to that of the government of the Provence of Pennsylvania with the following re strictions as to trade. ''That the said Indians shall not sell or dispose of any of their skins poltry or any other effects of their hunting to any person or persons whatsoever out of said province nor to any other poisons but such as shall be authorized," (by Wm. Pennon his representatives to trade with them. Prior to this treaty they introduced a tribe from the south for whose good conduct they became security known as Shawanese, The Shawanese in old times lived near the Spaniards and were always at war with them and having from an uneasiness in their situation sign nified their desire to remove and live under the protection of the English and Iroquois were by treaty in 1701 received into the Provence of Pennsylvania and placed at differ ent points on the Susquehanna an important point being at Plymouth in the Wyoming Valley, afterwards by consent of the government many of this tribe moved to the waters of the Ohio. With this nation our government were in almost constant dread and a cause of continual watchfulness and vigllence to pre vent evils that were bringing to bare upon their tribe by them. To the credit of the Iroquois it is desirving of mention that they were for a long time the most important allies in holding the Shawanese in check of all people they showed themselves the most ungrateful to the English and iroquos for the asylem they had given them. The movements of the French war of the greatest immediate importance with the Indian traders although in its ultimate effect was that of the crown of England. The following instructions to the traders from the provensial government under date of October 1729 was issued. "If any Indian or messages come thither from distant nations or places by all means learn the import or design of them and as anything worth notice let us be advised of it." Among other notices received by the Governor in compliance with the above is that from Jamea Sertort the trader whose store house was estab lished at Northumberland. His letter written in 1731 gives an ac count of a French gentleman of whom lie learned about on a trading tour to the Allegheney country. The gentleman was known as Cava lier and had visited the country for three years in succession had small dealings with the Indians appeared to be with the Shawanese that it was believed to be his designed to draw them off from the English interest, that when visiting the country in 1780 he was attended with live other Frenchmen one of whom being a blacksmith wrought for the Shaw aneße mending their guns, hoes and hatchets, staying among them for about two months without any pay. Several of the Indians telling Le- Fort that he said he was sent to work for them by the French gov ernor, that two of their chiefs had gone to Montreal and had not return ed. That he verily believed that the French had gained a great in fluence over the Shawanese and were daily endeavoring to improve it. CONTINUED. Will Dlmlßlßh rnnlalMtVoUai A law is now in force requiring tax oollectors to furnish each person a numbered tax receipt, upon pay ment of bis taxes, from a book furnished by the county commis sioners, containing a stub upon which a memorandum shall be made in ink of the number of the receipt, date, name of tax payer, etc. Twenty days before election the several col lectors are required to turnish the oounty commissioners a sheet con taining a copy of the stub for each receipt issued. The commissioners are required to have these reports bound and kept for public inspection. Although many collectors have made it a rule of giving receipts hereto fore at their own expense, the new law will secure uniformity and prove a valuable aid in case of a contested election. "The old soldiers of the State are under the impression that a bill giving them a State service pension was passed by the last Legislature. That is a mistake. The bill was in~ troduced and wus reported out of committee, but it was so late in the session that it was not reached be fore final adjournment. It is under stood that another attempt will be made to pass it at the next meeting of the Legislature, and it is argued that it will be a wise thing to do. Those who favor it say that there are many soldiers who enlisted un der the old dag and the Keystone who do not now enjoy a pension to keep them in tbeir old days, that given by the Government being too small, and they are too proud togo to a Government home, and lor that reason the State should help to keep them out of the poorhouse." There is some excitement over a threatened Indian outbreak in the stale of Wyoming, and some little anxiety has been felt by their friends for the safety of L. E. Walker and i)r. G. P. Waller and party who are camping and hunting in the wilds of that far off State. —Bloomsburg Rep, NATIONAL BANK Pre.idct, OF DUSUORE, PA. G. 11. WELLES. M, D. BWART9.
