The chestnut crop is said to be large. _ The next legal holiday will be Thanksgiving. For comfort, a lire in the sitting room stove was necessary, Sunday. Dr. Wad dell of Dushore has a card in this issue of the REPUBLICAN. A number of our people are in at tendance at the Forksvillc fair, this week. Election day will soon be heie. Have you made a choieo of the sev eral candidates ! Dr. Yoorliees is having splendid success and our people speak ol him as being an able doctor. Morgan Gavitt, the Democratic nominee for Prothonotary, is giving his entire time to the campaign. Farmers are consulting the price of wheat, and when they see the figures thoy 6peak ill of the Demo* cratic party. Towanda is to have a new court house and trolley cars, and the peo ple of the Bradford county metropo lis, are happy. ___ The 531h Regiment pride them selves of the lact that they never were driven ofT the battle field by any number of the enemy. Everybody expects to attend the Dushore races, Oct. 15, 16 and li'h, A dozen or more trotting horses from a distance, will be there. It is a melancholy fact that the mortality rate among the Grand Army veterans has, during the pa9t year, increased from ,093 to 12.0 C per cent. A good Demociat told us on Wednesday of last week that he was for the People's ticket and would render his assistance for its success in November. Illegal use of money in the Demo cratic party, as shown up by the re cent contest, will refrain any good thinking perfion from voting that ticket in the future. Miss Lottie Miller and Harry Karns of Laporte, who are attend ing school in Towanda, spent Friday and Saturday of last week with friends in town. That our efforts to give the peo ple a good, live newspaper is appre ciated, is evidenced by our continu ed growing subscription list. Read the REPUBLIC\N. The several new buildings under construction in Laporte, are pro gressing at a rapid rate. Contrac tor Tripp is superintending the con struction of all of them. Nearly every piece of sidewalk in town is more or less out of repair. These should be made good bclore snow comes. Our 'lown Council should make an order to this afTeet. W. J. Lawrence the people's can didate for Prothonotary, is more than competent"to fill the office to which he aspires and tho people will make no mistake in electing him. Lopez will continue a lively town this winter. The only enterprise in motion, however, will be the Jen nings Bros. mill. They give em ployment to three or four hundred men. Mrs. Cora Stormont of Laporte, left for Williamsport, Monday wher« nho goes to learn the millinery trade with Geo. P. Neal & Co., who have one of the largest millinery stores in the Lumber city. Farmer Fawcett the people's can didate tor Sheriff, is gaining in strength each day and his election is almost assured. Hank w.iuld make s good Sheriff. Costs due will be paid promptly. The best lambs are selling in the best part of Kentucky's farming country for l£ cents a pound. It is the tariff and not the silver question that fixes the price of the lambs that the farmer has to Bell. The Hughesville fair other than the horse racing, was not very at - tractive. The exhibits were limited. The Hughesville cornet band furn ished music for the occasion and they played exceedingly well. Farmer, show your appreciation of a farmer candidate and vote for Fawcett, this -fall. He is a hard worker and a good farmer and why wouldn't he make a good Sheriff ? JUmcmbw bi» at the polls, win you 1 Foreign wool is being dumped into this country by the ship load, while in the state of Ohio alone one million wool growing sheep have been sold to the butcher. Is It hard to tell how the sheep raisers will vote? Previous to the election for Con gr' aieu in 1894 there was no re vi.al of business. After the verdict there was rejoicing, and the vast armies of unemployed began to find work under the influence of restored confidence. "Farmers, vote the .Democratic ticket and get a dollar a bushel for your wheat 1"' That is what Dem ocratic leaders said to the farmers during the campaign of 1892. | Farmers, how near have you succeed ed in getting to the dollar mark 1 Miss Mabel Spencer of Laporte, left for Williamspoit, Monday, where she has secured a position in Jones' millinery store. Miss Mabel learned her trade in Mr. Jones' establish ment and her talent is sought by him. Cleveland's administration has added if 102,000,000 to the bonded debt, and if. may have to increase (he sum $50,000,000 to ¥100,000,000. This shows that Democracy has proved a costly experiment to the people of this country. A pheasant flew against and broke one of the Laporte Ilotol window panes Monday morning. The bird was captured and is now on exhibi tion at that stand. Landlord Kes sler was considerably excited over its sudden appearauce. The REPUBLICAN was breezy and full of life last week. One letter of congratulation received by us stated that it gave more news than both of our contemporaries. There is no question about it, the REPUBLICAN gives more news than either of the Dushore papers. Subscribe. The Mule IN Doomed. The Delaware. Lackawanna and Western company is equipping its Bellevue mines with a miniature trolley plant, and if electricity proves a srooil and practical substitute for the mule and his driver, the other mines of the company will be simi larly equipped. The Democratic majority in Sulli van county last fall, on the State ticket, was only 55 votes, and wc polled the largest vote in the history of the county, hence it cannot be truthfully said that the vote was not out. Only a few years ago the Democratic majesty in Sullivan Co. was from three to seven hundred. These facts speak louder than words for the success of the people's ticket this full. The seventy-fifth annual conven tion of the Northumberland Baptist Association, which comprises the counties of Northumberland, Lycom ing, Clinton, Sullivan, Columbia, Montour and Union, convened at the Baptist church iu Jersey Shoic at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning of last week. T. J. Eeeler of Laporte, and Wallace Little of Eagles Mere, were in attendance as delegates from this district.. The illegal use of money m the Sullivan county Democratic party, i« not hearsay, but is a fact, as the court hearing the judicial contest has divulged. Democrats iustituted the call for a contest. If they were sincere in these proceedings, how can they conscientiously vote that ticket this fall? It is hoped that the end of the contest will be reach ed before election. If so, and Dun ham's majority is increased, the peo ple will only have to guess once to know the corrupt party of the county. FOR U. S». ATTORNEY. "It was said yesterday that a change was not far distant io the United States District Attorney's offic in this city. District Attorney Ingliar ' has but a short time of his term 1 -to serve, and it is not ex pected that he will be allowed to re main long in office afterward. There have from time to time been a num ber of candidates for the place, and President Cleveland lias been repeat edly asked to appoint some one in Mr. Ingham's placeVbut he stated each time that Mr, would be allowed to serve out Now that his successor U abouW o he fejta pointed it is stated upon tKcellent authority that a number of \Jemo cratie politicians have urged tnVjip pointment of Superior Court JUSYM McCarthy. It is believed that noV only is Chairman Harrity in favor of Justice McCarthy's appointment, but also the leaders of the County De mocracy.'"—Phlla Preae, Sept. 80. The words of President Cleveland in the above article, is surly very flattering to Mr, Ingham and is evi dent that he has performed the du ties of his appointment well.

About that hour Walter Kelley, aged about twelve years, son of Jeremiah Kellej', the hardware merchant, was playing about the school yard and in pursuit of sport he climbed upon the iron picxct fence in front of the school grounds. The fence is about five feet high and the length of the pickets very, every other one being higher, the points of which are sharp. Suddenly Walter fell and was im paled upon one of the pickets, the sharp point penetrating the fle«hy part of his leg and severed an artery, lie bled very freely and had lost a large amount of blood before he was released from his painful position. lie was taken to his home where Drs. Metzger and Kiess worked with him faithfully, but a artery had been severed and within two hours after the accident he was dead.

BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 21.—Miss Abigal Dodge is slowly convalescing at her home in Hamilton, Mass., and while she receives no visitors at all, she has written an article entitled, "In the Valley of the Shadow of Death." It deals with the thoughts impressions and feblings of those who are "passing over the river." In the paper Miss Dodge says that she was taken ill last spring while locked in a room in the Blaine mausion in Washington. She felt that she was failing and realized that something very sorious had seized her. Her most intense feeling was the shock that her friends would re ceive when they broke opon the door and found her dead upon tbe floor. She realized the situation when her friends found her, and could i,°ar them as they spoke about her, although appearently she was un conscious. Then came a long blank, that last ed how long she knew not. At Vmes she would partially recover copiousness and wonder whether dead or not. Her brothers, nn( j Brown Dodge, both of whom one of them dying less thaft Voar ago, appeared to her and w m, naturalness.

A. banquet was held at the Laporte hotel which the veterans together with their families and a few invited jjuests attended. Immediately after the banquet the meeting of the usso* ciation was held in the M. E. church. Tbe exercises were interesting and were well attended by the friends of the soldiers and citizens in general. The meeting was called to order by the President, 11. D. Brown of Co. B. After music by the choir, the Secretary, Geo. W. Glidewell of Co. B. read the minutes of the last meeting of the association which were adopted as read. Judge Ing ham was then culled upon. After briefly welcoming the veterans to Laporte, he delivered an historical address in which the causes that led to the great conflict were clearly set forth. The struggle in the halls of legislation over the question of slav ery was first fully reviewed. This was followed by an account of the struggle in the field from 'Ol to 65. The rights of the soldiers with refer ence to pensions was also emphasiz ed. The prominent part taken by the 58th Itegiment in the great struggle was alluded to and a portion of the regimental history as given by Bates was read. Quarter Master Hested of New Albany was called upon and on be half of the regiment thanked the people of Laporte for their welcome and hospitality. He spoke of the starting of this company from La porte thirty-four years ago and his recollection of the friendship and solicitude of tbe residents of the plaoe for the soldier boys at that time. It having been decided to hold a camp fire in the evening, Capt. Rogers of Co. F. was called upon to explain the plans and purposes of such meetings which he did in a very Interesting manner and urged everybody to attend. The selection of a place tor hold ing the next meeting and the elec tion of officers for the ensuing year were the next subject for considera tion. By a unnanimous vote, New Albany wa9 selected as the place of meeting. Officers were then elected as follows: l'res., J. T. Hested; Vice President, Porter Jones; Treasurer, James Allen; Secretary, Geo. W. Glidewell. The retiring president then thank ed tbe members lor their attention and courtesy and Pres. Ilcstcd was escorted to the chair by Capt, Rog ers and Col. McKowen, The newly elected president thanked the asso ciation for the honor conferred and aflter the appointment of a committee to solicit funds for the erection of a monument in memory of J. Richter Jones, Colonel of the regiment, who fell in battle, the association adjourn ed to meet at 7:30. CAMP FIRE. The evening exercises proved very intertaining. The speaking was in formal and the veterans seemed to be in spenking mood. The accounts of their experiences in camp, on the march, and in the field brought up many old scenes of soldier life en acted during the dark days of the war. Among the soldiers present who responded with speeches were Col. McKowen, Rev. S. D. Frazier, A. 11. Baumgardncr, Capt. Rogers and Pres. Ilested. Judge Dunham and Supt. Mcylert were aho called upon and responded briefly. The "boys" had many experiences to re late, some were humorous; some pathetic. Lack of space prevents our giving a report ot the individual speeches but they were all higlilj' amusing, entertaining and instruc tive. What Pres. Hested said con cerning the wrong that was done Major Metcalf by any reflections up on him as a soldier or an officer may interest, our readers. H. E. Metcalf lived in Laporte at the outbreak of the war, and enlisted from here. lie was afterward promoted to the rank of Major. Through the jealousy and enry of Capt. Wynne who wanted to be major himself, the charge of in competency was trumped up against \laj. Metcalf. He was court-mar tialed and although the charges were not sustained '.lie effect of the inves tigation was to bring a certain de cree of discredit to Major Metcalf. •imong those not familiar with the circumstances. The members of the regiment heartily endorsed what Pres. Ilested said of the merits of Major Metcalf as a loyal soldier and a brave and skillful officer. The re-union was characterized by the best of feeling throughout and the soldiers departed for their homes well pleased with the renewal of old friendships that had beeu brought about and Grtnlj' resolved to be unong the number who will meet at Xew Albany one year hence. LIStOLX NAVKO HIM. Hagerstown. Sept. 2D. John J. Thomas, who died at Hancock this county, on Thursday night Sept. 26, from paralysis, was a member of the famous Maryland Legislature that voted against secession. While Mr. Thomas was returning from session it Annapolis to his home he was in tercepted near Clear Spring, Md.. by Stuarts Brigade and sent to Libby Prison, where he was confined for six months. His release with that of nany others was etlected through his wife, who, with Governor Hicks, :irst went before Secretary Stanton, who courtly told her that no ex change could be made for citizen prisoners. They then had an audience with President Lincoln, who heard Mrs. Thomas' story, treating her in a most cordial manner. He was sur prised to learn that tbe exchanging of prisoners had not been going on, and tearing a blank leaf out of a memorandum book, wrote : "I com mand an exchange of citizeu prison ers." Secretary Stanton was much abashed when Mrs. Thomas and Governor Hicks appeared before him with the order, but it was not long before Mr. Thomas and 300 other prisoners were released from Libby. Although Mr. Thomas was a Southerner and an inheritor of slaves he was a strong Urnon man. His family would have freed their slaves previous to the emancipation, but the latter were unable to care for themselves, and did not wish their liberties. Mr. Thomas held positions of trust under the Government and was extensively known through Md. Six children survive hiin, * Ladies. h»ve you seen the new dress goods at T. J. Keeler's.
