Farrel, wife and family of Dushore, spent Monday with the lady's mother Mrs. Jacob Fries at this place. —Mr. Chas.

Kditor Smith of licuton, was seized with an attack of u|Miiilcxy while at work in his office on Thurs day last, and found lying dead in the doorway by Ids foreman on re turning to the office after noon hour. gj Mr. Riley Allen, the purchaser of hake Mokoma, with Ills family ami a party of friends s|M>nt Saturday ami Sunday at the l<aportc Hotel. Mr. Allen says the i«ake property will lie Improved and made to yield an income to the owners —There will be a Prohibition pa nic at Lake Mokoma Sept. 11, and at 1 o'clock p. in.the Prohibition county convention will be held at the same place. Immediately after the convention, Win. It. Irvin of Williamsport, will make a speech. All Prohibitionists are cordialy in vited to attend, and all who feel in terested in the temperance cause. No convention which ever met in this county more completely repre sented the wishes of the masses of the people than the one held here last week to name a Republican tick et, and as the nominations were unanimously made there can be no reasonable doubt of their success. The resolution instructing our candidate for Assembly, if elected, to support Hon. Oalusha A. Grow in the Legislative caucus for U. S. Senator was a judicious movement. There is no doubt some difference of opinion on this point, but there can be no difference of opinion on the point that the Republicans of the county desire harmony. We have lieen gradually gaining strength in this county and we do not want to fritter that strength away by aimless and useless contentions among our selves. We all belong to that great party which has rescued the nation from the slough of despond in which Cleveland left it, and turned 011 the electrical lights of prosperity. It rests with us now to maintain that prosperity against the hoo boo cry of "imperialism" and "free silver." The Fairs. The Hughesville fair will hold its 30th annual exhibition, Sept. 18 to 21. This fair is one of the oldest in the state, as well as one of the best. Excursion rates on all railroads. The Midway at the Williamsport fair this year will be a great and suc cessful attraction. The agricultural features will be much larger than it was last year. September 11 to 11. The Forksville fair will lie held October 3, 4 and 5. In the face of the great danger of overconfldence there is one compen sating advantage—the Republicans everywhere are united. There is 110 factional difference anywhere in national politics, a fact perfectly at tested by the unanimity with which the nominations were effected and the platform adopted at Philadelphia and Sullivan county wisely pattern ed herself after the national body in every particular. The results of such proceedings are almost sure to be that the full vote will come out in harmony and enthusiasm for the regularly nominated candidates from Coroner to President and the accept ed statements of policy. The great hope of Republican success through out the country is that the various workers—and the various voters for themselves—will see promptly anil thoroughly into the real issues; and not be mistaken about tlieni, will not try to substitute untried men for tried ami true ones, will not be frightened by bogie talk, but will be 011 their guard against tin- real dang ers of the wide-spread onslaught up on expansion (and with it, prosper ity), upon a stable currency (and with it, prosperity), and a solid and patriotic devotion to the courts and to law and order which also mean prosperity. DI'SHOKK, August 27, LTTOO. It comes to my hearing that John (i. Scouten is putting his conviction of libel on political conditions and is trying to make people think that he is a political martyr ami as some people who are really honest has ac cepted this as being a fact it might he well to say a few words on the subject. It is known to everyone who has followed the political situa tion in Sullivan county, that Judge Kraus was a Democrat, and before the libelous attack on bis character by Scouten ill the Herald, was one lof the most popular Democrats in Sullivan county. K.J. Mullen Esq. the leading attorney in the case is a prominent democrat, and John Metzger the President Judge who tried the CUM* is a leading Democrat in Lycoming county, and the jury was composed of both Democrats land Republicans. There is no reason whatever for thinking that politics : had anything to do with his case for before lie was elected county chair man of the Democratic parly 110 j candidate knew where he stood, ex cept he had knowledge of Ids per sonal prejudices. Many Democrat* laud Republicans who have been candidates know this. If the reader | will stop ami give tin* matter a fair 1 thought lie will know that Ncouteu's [ libel case is merely the natural re | suit of his own course ami his desire to make the Hon. Conrad Kraus suffer for standing for his rights and not allowing himself to he any man's tool. Justice: Honeatown. —II. P. Hall and Rev. E. B.

Fortunately nobody was near enough to be effect ed. We have prided ourselves upon the elasticity of our imagination, it is true, but 011 comparing ours with the Professor's, we find him to be so far ahead as to be out of sight. We ttre beaten, utterly beaten. With men anil women we might essay to cope, but against rubber necks and wind whistles, the task is impossible so farewell we have 110 more to say.
