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. A taxpayer re
marked the other evening that a
petition should be circulated request
ing the commissioners to dismiss
him from the county's service.
We urge and insist that those of
our taxpayers who feel aggrieved at
Gallagher's remarks, give us a com
munication concerning the same for
our next week's issue.
We publish in this issue a condens
ed report of the financial standing
of the Dushore First National Bank.

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

erected and t'ley are very pretty and
durable, The boys look after Uncle
Sam in that vicinity and have re
cently invested in a brand new post

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 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.
