DISEASED M eat.
AlIege to Have Been Sold in the Sun
bury Market.

If the following which we copy
from the Sunbury Neacs, is true,
there is no punishment too severe
for such a heinous offence against
the welfare and health of com.
munity. The Neacs says: ga
sensation in the meat line has been
the subject of legal investigation
and it is thought highly probable
that the proper parties will be
brou rht before justice to answer to
the Charge of selling diseased meat
A little over week ago COW be
longing to M. l.. Hendricks became
mad and furiously rushed through
the upper end of town ana into the
Wolverton woods. The next dav
the animal was found with LEG
broken and in condition almost,
similar to dog with the rabis.
The owner had Butcher Treon to
kill the cow and skin it, after which
the carcass was left to be buried
within the coming day. That
same night men with lanterns were
seen working about the carcass and
next morning nothing remained but
the head, and even here the tongue
was cut out. 1t is stated by those
that know that this diseased meat
was sold in Sunbury at market and
that the sellers thereof are known
and will very shortly be arrested and
made to suffer for their outrageous
act of bringing to market such sick
ness breeding food. They should
he given TIE full penalty.

She Was Sensible.

An exchange says A well known
lady recently remarked TO the clerk
that he should "turn the wrapping
paper the other side out" as he was
putting up her purchase in a printed
wrapping paper. "I don't want to
be walking advertisement to your
store. l read the papers, as all
civilized people ought to do, and ]
think that in them is the proper
place to advertise your business, in.
stead of asking your customers to
carry your sign around with each
purchase of goods. Tell the people
through the papers what you have
to sell and how you sell it."

d. r. Coffman court crier of Col
umbia county, wants the salary ol
that office raised by the voice Of the
Legislature. Mr.. Coffman will find
to his sorrow that the people of this
commonwealth are not of his opinion
and tue bill before the House for
this purpose will, as it should, fall
fiat. The Office OF court crier is not
essential. We can see no reason
why the judge Of the court when he
comes upon the Bench can not call
the court to order as does our high
est Legislative bodies and thereby
save to the county the unnecessary
cost of court crier. The Blooms
burg papers are all opposed TO the
bill and Hon. VIM. Krickbaum,
editor of the Sentinel, will fight it
hard.

eco away from home to find out
the News" is the old Maxim illus.
trated in the Dushore "GaSette" last
week, as follows:
"It's dull day when Sullivan
county cannot produce rumor of a
new railroad. The latest is that the
citizens of LaPorte and the Lake
Mokoma syndicate intend to build q
line from LaPorte to Nordmont to
connect with the Williamsport and
North Branch road, and we under
stand that $1,000 has been sub
scribed for this purpose. The dis
tance is five miles and the probable
cost $4,000 per mile or 100000
for the line. 81 900 deducted from
this amount would leave only Sl93,-
600 to be raised yet to build the
road. We will probably hear the
engine whistle when the LaPcrte
REPUBLICAN comes out the last of
the week.
All this rumor is founded on the
fact that Civil Engineer ". G. Mason,
at the request of Benz. &. Welch,
General Manager of the w. & N. b.
R. r., has been making a prelimi-
nary survey from Nordmont to the
LaPorte Tannery, to ascertain the
distance and grade by the Elk Lick
route. We are not aware that any
subscription has been made to build
the road. When We get 1000, on
hand for that purpose we shall call
on Brother Streby for the other
$4,000.
