Welcome the coming; speed the parting
guest"
With gentle smiles and sighs,
The brave old fellow did his very best
In furnishing supplies.
Happy the mortal humbl'd by mishap,
Who now can say on sight;
81 did my part as well as that old chap
Who took his leave last night"
Plenty and pinching Want ran side by side
Down all the vanish'd year;
The good were weil-the bad severely
tried.
But don't let's weep tear.
Steady and onward rolls our gay old world
Suns set, but rise again;
And all Is not too dark, red ruin hurled,
Though winds blew hard In Maine.
Lively the Empire State her old sides
shook
In Autumn's blighting frost;
But felt much better for the pains she
took
The Claimant twas that lost.
Ever the right mesuppermost;" and SO
With cordial, fitting grace.
We greet young Eighteen Eighty, ready
girt
To run his destined race.

"Well. perhaps 1 was" said the old

TO BUYERS OF MUSLINS !:

We are prepared at this time to
show our customers a large stock
OF the most reliable makes of
Bleached and Brown Muslins, from
one to two and half yards wide at
jobber's prices on the day OF sale.
Whilst we deprecate selling these
goods at WHOLESALE PRICES on
account OF some small dealers,
whose stocks are composed almost
entirely OF Domestic goods, yet we
have been forced to II by would-be
reputable houses, who have no
price on them except to get all they
can when they can or, when the
case may need, use them as a
"bait" to sell other goods at higher
prices than lone price" house
would charge for them.
Blu yers should always bear In
mind that house which has more
than one price there Is no telling
how many they do have. and the
one that has but ONE PRICE is al
ways careful that that price is the
LOWEST,

Increased the Rent of Their
Houses,

The Germania Building Association,
which IS 81 years old and owns ten
houses, decided, at the monthly meeting
held at Benz's hall, to increase the rent
of their houses 81, So and So per month
from the first of April. The rent of some
of the dwellings was very low, and So
additional was put on these. For in
stance, a house that was let during the
past year at So, was thought by some of
the Directors of the Building Associa-
ton to be worth $40 month. After a
brief discussion motion was made that
the rent of the houses be fixed at IS,
which was unanimously agreed to.
The past months accumulation OF
money of the association was disposed of
at premium of $40 per share of 5000.

Indignant Republicans.

EXCITEMENT OVER GOVERNOR HoYT's
APPOINTMENT Of JUDGE WOODWARD.
A special despatch from Wilkesbarre is
as follows
The Republicans of this city are in
perfect frenzy of INDICATION over the fact
that Governor Hoyt has just appointed
Colonel Stanley Woodward, a dis
tinguished Democrat, to the bench of
Luzerne to fill the vacancy caused by
Judge Harding's resignation. The Re-
publican applicant for the judgeship, ex-
Senator Payne, is q man of equal pro-
minence and ability with his successful
competitor aud this is the case for the
dicontent which has assumed such
violent shape. At Kingston, short dis
tance from this city, Governor Hoyt's
former home, the Republicans are wild
and the Hoyt club to-day marched to its
headquarters in a body and tore the
Governors picture down, trampling it in
the mire. The officers of the club
participated in this demonstration, and
are all promint men in business and
politics. They claim that Governor Hoyt
has betrayed his frierds and his party in
making the appointment, and that they
can TO longer regard him as a Rep
ublican. The handsome Autographs of
Governor Hoyt that were hung in the
stores and offices of Wilkesbarre since
his election were torn down this evening,
and in some places cast in the waste or
the fire. An Indignation meeting of pro-
minent Republicans OF the county will
be held in the morning. The secret of
Governor Hoyt's appointing Woodward
in preference to Payne lies in the fact
that Woodward and Hoyt have been
boon companions trom childhood, despite
their differences in politics. When the
Republicans nominated Hoyt Colonel
Woodward suffered party ostracism to
support him for Governor, and now Hoyt
is willing to suffer ostracism that he may
pay Woodward back for his unselish
friendship.

State convention the same men who brought
Reid, forced the Fowle delegates to
submit to instructions on the Guberna-
torial question, but disobeyed ''instruc
tlons' and cast the three counties for Rob-
berts on the vote for Auditor. These things
are mentioned to show the desperation of
the machine"
