Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Miller and little son, of Forksville, were calling on friends in Laporte, Sunday. There is a large "blow-lly" on editor Streby. Will some one ol his Dushore friends remove it ?

Dr. Voorhees is in atten dance. A Tioga county child has four grandparents, four great-grandpar ents and four great~great-grandpar ents, all living.

Searer, master mechanic for the Union Tanning oompany, is erecting a new liquor box and re pairing the leach house at the La porte tannery. Judge Dunham has partly prom ised that he will address the old soldier boys at their Bth annual re union to be held at Laporte on Monday Sept. 30. The days have grown perceptibly shorter, the nights of course arc longer, the evenings and mornings cooler. These indications of the approach of autumn are unmistak able. The public schools will soon be again In full blast. The school In dustry is never affected by hard times except so far as the tax payer Is eonoerned. J. Deitrick Grey, reporter on the Williamsport Sun made this office a pleasant call on Monday, while in town, looking after the interests of the paper be ably represents. The world depends upon no man. Though the most important and ex alted may die in the night, the sun will rise and set as usual, and all the rest of nature will pay no atten* tioa to the seemingly sad event. Mr. Swaver, master mechanic for the Union Tunning company, will re side «t Laporte l« the future. Mr. j Senvoi'« housahoM goods arrived »voi k and he will ocoupv a i well ing in the second ward. The post utileo department has de cided that a request to pay a bill oan be sent on a postal card, but that it must contain no threat or intimution as to what will be done if the debt is not paid. Scenery is a very uncertain prop erty in Laporte. The man who has a fine view from his house to-day is not sure of it on the next day. With new buildings going up all the time one hardly knows what is going to happcu a day ahead. llarly Edkin, the genial conduc tor on the '"flyer," is accommodating and has the friendship of the travel ing public. It is rumored that llarly will take charge of the regu lar passenger train on or about the Ist of October. Tiie mournful sound of the county windwheel continues. Our county commissioners should insist that the janitor give the gearings a coat of >il at least once a week. This would prevent, to a certain extent, tbe wearing of the gearing and put to silence a nuisance at the same time. Watchmakers say that more watch springs break in August than in any other month of the year. A good many human springs of action and mental balance wheels get out of >rder also in this month. The in fluences of the dog star seems to be at work all around us. The Lycoming county Prohi bitionists have placed the following ticket in the field, viz: For Sheriff, Samuel Bustler, of Hughesville; Prothonotary, A. B Herbst, Muncy Station; District Atty., H. T. Ames, Williamsport, and County Surveyor, Vbraluim Meyer.

Gij dewell, Sec'y. The little infant sou of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hegel of Laporte, died of cholera, on Tuesday night Aug. IT. Interment in Mountain Ash oemetery, Thursday Aug. 29, Rev. J. VV. Klingler of Dushore officiating. The parents of the deceased are heartbroken over the loss of their little one and have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement. Eagles Mere is voted the prettiest summer resort in the state. There are several larger lakes in the State, but for cleanliness and beauty none can compare with our Eagles Mere Lake. The groves are shady and are carpeted with moss of many colors; the rustic cliairs are not as numerous as they might be, however. The scenery is grand and is admired by all. The baithing grounds are superb, and are visited two or the times daily by the many guests. This, in fact, is the centre of attrac tion. Athletic Park comes next for sport, but unlike the baithing ground, only a few can take active part in the doings at this place of amusement. Became I tisane. Last Friday Thomas Gilpin and his son David arrived here from their home at Newfoundland, Pike county. Pa, to visit S. W. Hover who formerly lived in that neighbor hood. Young Oilpin has shown evidence of mental derangement for some time, but Saturday he became violently insane. In some way he escaped from liis father and Mr Hover, and made his way toward Dushore. He stripped himself stark niked and ran through the fields and woods lacerating his feet and body in a terrible manner. He was found and captured and placed in the borough lockup to remain until ne gotiations can be carried on and arrangements made to place him in the asylum at l)anville.-New Albany Mirror. Captain Clia<»e who has charge of the property of the Eagles Mere > Lmml Coift|*ny, has been kept ez% I oeediugly busy this season, owing to the large delegation of people registered at this famous resort. The Captain, because of his mauoer, pleasantness and good looks, 1» styl ed for this important position. The stranger is taken into his con fidence and a history of the lake is quoted from the day of its birth to the present time. This is entertain-, ing and interesting to the npw comer hence, Embly is held and considered authority from the opening to the closing of the season, and is contin~ ually on the go either arranging, straightening or reciting history to the inquisitive.

Sept. 1, —An at tempt was made late on Saturday night to wreck an express train on tbe Lehigh Valley railroad neat Port Bowkley. John Grady, who had been at Pittston, and on his waj home to Port Griffith discovered a lot of timber piled upon the track, tie looked at his watch and being familiar with the running of trains at that point, discovered that No. 3 passenger train was due within ten minutes. There was a lamp post nearby at a crossing, and, running to it, removed tbe lamp, and hurried down the track in time to give h signal. The engineer ou seeing the waving lamp pulled and slopped the train. He was informed by Grady that there was danger ahead On reaching the spot it took six of the crew to remove the debris, whicL took p full half hour. Suspicion rests upon a party ol men who were seen in the neighbor hood a few hours before, and theii arrest is hourly expected. Ladies, have vou s<?en the new drees fooiis at T. J. heeler's. lie can astonish vou, both in quality and price. Some auxietv was caused the At lanta Expedition management by the effort of certain Philadelphia people to prevent the taking of the liberty bell to the South. This was out at rest by the following telegram from Mayor Warwick to Mrs. L. M. Gordon, who has been largely instru mental in securing the bell: "The ladies of the South can depend 011 my doing all in my power to bring to the exposition the sweetest and fairest bell of the nation." A pro gram has been prepared for the journey ot the liberty bell and the cities and towns along the route from Philadelphia to Atlanta will give it a cordial reception. It is expected to reach Atlanta by Sept 15th. It will be escorted by a com mittee of the Philadelphia city coun cil and a detachment of the Phila delphia police. T. J.

Good health during the months of August and September is largely a matter of diet This is the season of the year when the utmost eare must be exercised in reference to food. Eating at unreasonable hours and in unreasonable quantities is always injurious. It is doubly so when the system has become ~ex« liausted by the extreme heat of mid summer. Nature has done her part by providing a plentiful supply of vegetables and fruits, whose assimi lation, when they are partaken of in moderation, does not overtax the en feebled organs of digestion. Most of the trouble that arises at this season of the year is due to food or drink, or to want of care as to the quality of one or the other. Too frequent and too copious draughts of ice water are highly injurious. It iB a good rule to eat and drink slowly at all times. Such a regulation is of the first importance at this time. T- J.

Re«*nl •< the Flrat White Mea On the North aad West Breach ol the RamaelnMMh Br Wu. Mktlbht. fCONTINUED FROM LAST Vm] The Delaware* now having lost their lender and their principle vil lage destroyed, seemed to have abandoned Wyoming. Rev. David Zeisberger who had served them as pastor took also upon himself their care as temporal advisor. A number are believed to have joined those on the Allegbeneys of their nation and others were embraced among the villages formed at Wyalusing and Sbeshcquin, Teedytising's two sons becoming prominent among the res idents of tbe last named place. From this time dates the Indian inost prominent in our local history, Papuliank a Monsay chiefton whose village was at Wyalusing. lie had become quite well acquainted with the Quakers who were active in securing for his people all the ad vantages in their power to confer at Indian treaties and in bis intercourse vith them had learned much of the christian religion, being a man given *,o reflection the truths first revealed to them mixed with the teachings tnd traditions of his people were -mbjects of continual thought and he >ave considerable time in communi cating his views to bis people. Like io many of his nation he had been iddicted to the use of strong drink, )ut his father dying a drunkard he •vas arroused to reflection and his labits of life underwent a change, vhile his teaching of morality and jorrect living were taking effect imong his people, llev. Post in his /isits in behalf of the government •emained at Popnnhank's village >vei uight on the 20th of May 1760, from 2, 8-11. From this time there teems to have been a general awaken ing among the Wyalusing Indians iside from their Qhief there was two >ther Indians who held an important dace among them—Job Chilli way jvho came from Little Egg Harbor tnd spoke English fluently and was frequently sent on important !>usi~ less to the government; John Curtis if Nanticoke and for a time one of .he chief men of his Dation. Curtis in his address before the touncil for the government held September 17th 1763 at Philadelphia »aid of tbe Wvalusings "We doaiol soncern ourselves with anything but .he worship of God." A short time >rior to meeting of tbe council had jeeurred there was a very important neeting among them. They had decided to send a cull tor a. religious teacher but were iu a (uandry for whom to send. Papun :ank favored the Quaker, while Chi! away was more favorable to the iloraveaus. After ;v long delibera~ .ion they decided to accept tue ibors of the first one t hat came. Their wauts had come to the knowledge of the brelherhood at Jethlehem and thej dispatched at the same time, their iwakening also became known to a Quaker Kvaugelist, John Woolman, le had traveled for eleven days in :ompany with a few Indians, in or» ler to visit them. These two earnest :bristians labored here harmoniously ogether in making the way of life cnown to this people, for three days vben Woolman learning that it was their decision to acoept the labors of che Moraveans, took liis departure graying that the work of Zeisberger night be crowned with success. Dtber Indian villages hearing of the tforavean minister being at Wyalus ng invited him to visit them all noved on happily for a time but the jountry was destined to pass through mother desolating war. The Pontiac conspiracy was on foot and the Susquehanna Indians who so earnestly desired to live peaceful lives were visited by roav ing bands to get them to join in the lestruction of the English. The brotherhood at Bethlehem took them under their protection and induced the government to provide a place of protection tor them at Philadelphia where they remained until March 20, 1765, when 83 of the christian con* verts left their conflned home and under the protection of Papunhank made their way to Wyalusing. This point possessed many advantages for the support of a large colony. It was at the junction of to of tiie most important paths; the one leading from Tioga to Shamokin and the other from Chenango to Ostonwack en, now Montoursville, passing through our county. There was cleared fields for the planting of corn, vast hunting grounds on the west side of the river where they would not likely be interfeared with. Here they arrived on the 3d of April 1765, accompanied by Mr. Zeise berger and Rev. Schmick with his wife who were to become permanent residents with them. Under the guidance of their experienced relig ous teachers. Their corn fields were | planted, the summer bunt for game made when work wu at one* «yate iiiutlQod comfortable home* ami a chapel and mission liouae were erect ed. All was hopeful for a tinle find ing however that their location was on too low ground, in 1767 the town uioved to a higher location and a plot watt surveyed and regularly laid out the main street eighty teet wide in the centre of which stood the church opposite of which was the mission house, on either side of the street were lots each thirty-two feet wide, each household had u canoe on the river. The village was en closed with a post and rail fence and during the summer the streets were swept by the women every week and the refuse carried away while the women were taught to keep an orderly cleau village and cultivate extensive fields of corn and other grain, the men still follow ed the hunt. They had an abun* dance of horses and all kinds of stock, sugar camps on both sides of the river, which were worked exten sively in the season, and during the season the gathering of huckleberries and cranberries, flags for mats, gin seng and wild potatoes, so all were kept employed in productive labor. Their canoes were kept in constant requsition in transporting grain, hay and other products up and down the river. Sales were made of poltry deer skins, horns and tallow at a trading post eleven miles from Beth lehein whore they also received the bounty for wolf scalps. CONTINUED. Sheriff's Sale.
