Montaoue Feb. 23. News is scarce, but thieves are plenty, or thefts rather. The hitest to suffer Irom midnight callers are uan freu- niore who lost 10 fowls, Mrs. J. Kerr 8. John D. Van Auken 4, Robert Armstrong several full blooded bra hma roosters, Mrs M. J. Vannoy 2 bags of feed, Ueo. Armstrong's smoke house was relieved of all of its contents, and the barn of E. de- Sulitmac was broken oixm on the night of the 21, but what is missing I haven t heard.

Kanlvston is noted for its school and church fights of late, and where will it end? and who will be benefited by it ? So Westfall township came very near going Republican last TuotKlay It must be hard on " I Sickles " but the Democrats of Pike are getting used to it by degrees. Abe Crawn will soon leave us and take up his residence near Paterson. The different country papers are full of letters to the editors about high taxes, when valuation of real estate has gone down to almost no thing. Montague is pretty well blessed with taxes I think. The taxes here are about as high as Id any township in the county and no. thing to show for it, only bills. E. de Salignac, the owner of the Springdale farm has sold two tracts of land, 12 and 21 acres respectively to New York parties who intend in tho near future to erect a boarding house. Mr. tie Salignac is the owner of considerable flat land opposite to Miiforu, which he intend to dispose of in 6 acres lots at 1225 each Another Tuxedo if he finds buyers and I hope he will. Sharp shod horses ha ve been in great demand this week, and also experts to build the morning fires. The boys got ready for a real old fashioned serenade Thursday, but the birds had flown. Any person who turns horses out to pasture in such weather as we had last week is a fit object for pro. socution. The Board of Education, of this town, at their meeting last Wedneg. day made the following estimates of money necessary to run the four schools of this town outside the State appropriation which is about $1,300: For three flags, 148 j for fuel, $125 : for painting and repair ing School No. 1, $60 : for roofing and building chimney at No. 2, $60 ; tor coal house for No. 2, $J0 ; black board for No. 2, $8 ; painting No. 3, $25; roofing No. 4, $50; for text books, $300.

Ho was on bis war Alaska last summcr.when a reception was given him In one of the cities of the far northwest. He had shaken hands with several hundred people when a little old lady came alung.

Feb. 24, "9 Editor Prksb Hir : Tammany is in mourning. The old wnrhorseis gone His friends brought him on the turf on the morning of election Feb. 18 for a three years term more, and de clared he could not be beaten. No pools were sold on him.but they bet cigars and a little red eye that he would win. They groomed him with the beverage he usually takes, and which is apt to make a mans head swim. In the afternoon they began to grow uneasy. The braves looked toward the sotting sun, and wished they were Joshuas that they could command it to stand still while they fought the battle. Alas- it was too late, the board declared that the Re publican candidate was the succes sor to the saddle and bridle of the war horse, by a majority of three votes. This was more than the sachems could bear. J. B. exclaimed it was tough medicine to take for a man to lie beaten by his own party Ihe old vet sat on a box moaning that liis head would burst. Dr Hawk used liniment to bathe that aching member but it was in vain Ran stood beside his dying friend saying he would never enter another Democratic caucus for it was com posed of traitors to the party. Next some of day the Tammany Democrats said some very mean things about their back-sliding friends. In fact it was language such as is not lieard in Sunday schools and wo forliear to repeat it. We are happy to say to our Democratic friends that the Republicans this year of grace send their first con stable from this township, and we hove no uonbt but that our eondi date, Joseph D. Brooks, will fill the position with such dignity and credit not only to himself but to his party that they will readily join us in the future in sending ns a representa five of this township to appear be fore the honorable court a man of sober demeanor. Delaware Democrat A Memorial Tribute. There Is no death ! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright In heaven's jeweled orown 1 hey shine lor evermore. There Is no death ! The dust we tread fiiall change lieneath the summer shower o golden grain or mollow fruit, Or rainbow tinted flowers. There is no death ! The leaves may fall, The flowers may fade and pass away; They only wait, through wintry hours, The coming of the May. There is no death I An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; Ho bears our best-loved things away, And then we call them " dead." Lord Lytton. Pointers Towird Beauty. Avoid cosmetics. Deal gingerly with lotions. Steam the face once a fortnight. Avoid pastry, sweets and greasy foods. Massage the skin for five or ten minutes every evening. Never go out immediately after washing the face in warm water. Use a few drops of benzoin in the water in which the face is washed to tighten and whiten the skin. Avoid alcoholic stimulants if you wish to avoid becoming " boefy " in linos, and avoid tea and coffee if you would escape wrinkles. Use cold cream to remove dust and grime, rubbing it into the face and removing it with a soft cloth. Then wash the grease off in warm water. New York " World. " A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer ; but a wise man cannot ask more questions than he will find a fool ready to answer. Whately. A Remirktble Clock. One of the most extraordinary mechanical wonders of the world.is a clock built by a Russian Pole named Gold&ulon. He was at work upon it six years. The clock re presents a railway station, with all of its appointments and details care fully carried out. On the central tower is a dial which shows the time at New York, London, Warsaw and Pekin. Every quarter of an hour the station bcgyis to bustle, telegraph operators click their machines, the station master and his assistants ap pear, porters bustle about with lug gage, and a miniature train dashes out of a tunnel on one side of the platform. All the routine of a rail way station is gone through, after which the train disappears into an other tunnel to reappear at the next quarter of an hour. Straws show the political winds and the favorite son weather vanes now set up in so many States all point to a Republican movement. The ground wave is far-reaching. By the way do'the beer wagons which so liberally dispense that stuff in this borough contribute any thing r and if not why not. If a comet with one chance in 20,- 000,000 of hitting the earth can do it it deserves to lie encouraged. Such luck is impossible save in Sunda y school books.
