Karns and daughter Helen, of Laporte, drove to Columbia county Wednesday and will visit old acquaintances in our neighbor county for several days. The party will take in the Bloom fair, Friday and Saturday. The expression of John Gallagher concerning the old soldiers, publish ed elsewhere in these columns, has caused a feeling in our borough ot no little account.

Before Judge Hanna, in the Or phans'Court, yesterday, there was under audit the account of Ellsha P. Wilbur, Robert H. Sayre, Charles Hartshorne, R. A. Lamberton and James I. Blxkslee, executors and trustees of the millionair estate of Asa Packer, who died in May, 1879 Under the rules of court there was exhibited the securities comprising the bulk of the estate's assets. The entire fund before the court was said to be about $8,000,000. A large portion of the securities are Lehigh Valley Railroad Company stocks and bonds. There arc also other stocks and bonds of railroad companies, bonds of wntcr and gas companies and stocks of oil and iron companies. An adjunction of the account is to be filed shortly, The people of Sullivan county are fortunate in their candidates this year of grace—lß9s. The office of Sheriff is an important one, and should be filled by a business man— a man who has the entire confidence of the community in which he resides and who is favorably known for his good citizenship the county over. Steh a man is IIENRY E. FAW oISTT. He is an honorable, upright conscientious man. A man eminent ly qualified to fill the position to which he aspires in a way creditable to the people and with honor to himself. His home vote it ia said will more than equal that of any candidate Elkland haa yet presented and his favorable acquaintance over the county, will give him a farther advantage not to be calculated. For Prothonotary etc., the people have presented the name of W. J. LAWRENCE, who is eminently lltted for this office. An introduc- j lion seems superfluous. He was born and reared in Sullivan county and is termed 'the old school teacher.' Everybody regardless of politics will give him a hearty and united sup port OK the sth of November. Botsford & Newman, general mer chants of Nordmont have recently rcmodled the interior of their store property and made it convenient in overy particular. The store apart ment has been enlarged by the re moving of a partition 111 the rear ol the room.

The lock boxes are fastened with com bination locks, and Milt says they give good satisfaction. The only objection we can conceive of the combination lock, would be in the evening with the light dim, it would be pretty hard to work the combi nation as quickly as you could place a key. It was understood that the old .soldiers would meet in the court house, Monday, but because of the oold weather and no lire in the build ing they were compelled to look up other quarters. This was not a very warm reception to the old soldiers, so far as those in charge of the court house was concerned, and the sol diers and citizens felt it, and did not hesitate to express their feelings ol the matter, The above article appeared in the REPUBLICAN last week. John Ji. Gallagher, count}' com-* missioners' clerk an 1 janitor of the courthouse, so far as the building of the fires nre concerned, ami who I draws a salary of something like §tl() A] month from the taxpayers, look exceptions to the above article and irx ftfs remarks called the soldiers "a lot of olcl buHis.''' Is a man of this character fit to occupy a position in our county buildings ? The first Hock of wild pigeons ob served near Hanover, York county, for a period of over twenty years was seen last week feeding on the mast in Felty's woods, about three miles southwest of the town. The flock numbered a hundred or more, but the birds were very wild and shy and the gunneis of the neighbor hood were unable to get a shot at them. There is much speculation and comment in regard to the position of ex-President Harrison in con nection with the next Presidential nomination by the Republican party. It has been stated that friends of Mr, Harrison have given out won! thai he will not be a candidate for that nomination. This may be true, but he has not personally made any such announcement through the press, and until ho does so it is tair to presume that he would take the nomination providing the party deems him the most available stand* ard bearer to lead them to victory in 1890. It would appear that the Dushore Review is the Democratic organ this year, so far as the candidate for Prothonotary is concerned. The boys don't give Strcby credit for anyihing this j'ear. Guess they are afraid to trust him after hearing the evidence in the contest case. Goto Bodlrie <& Warn Bonestown Pa., for all kinds of general merchandise.

The tarmers aie . interested in his behalf. Simon Breiger of Laporte, moved to Athens Tuesday, where he has secured a position in the machine shops of that place. Simon is a Orst class machinist. To win a wager ot $250, Asa Hill, proprietor of the American House, Westlield, entered a cage of three African lions of the Wombwcll show iii that village recently.
