Not For Sale.

A notice of Jas. NJ. Bowling's
farm and his farming and stock
breeding operations, which appeared
in the LEAF-CHRONICLE some days
ago, has attracted very general at.
tentiOn, and he is having many APP
plications from parties who suppose
that the farm is for sale. This is a
mistake. bir. Bowling is not offer
ing his place for sale, and has no de-
sire to sell. The object of the notice
was to show what model farm is
and to describe the beautiful and va
ried scenery surrounding GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. Bowling did offer it for sale last
January and conditionally closed a
bargain with gentleman at $4,000,
but some hitch broke up the trade,
and he is now glad of it. Then he
had favorable proposition to engage
in manufacturing, which induced
him to offer it for sale. The place
has been so well rested and fertilized
that it is now paying investment,
and, just as we said before, counting
half of its proceeds as cost of Operat-
ing, ii will pay ten. per cent. on $780,
600.

speaker Reeds Course i'm Congress
Commended.
IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Seyfert, of Lancaster, Offered

Mr.. Seyfert, Of Lancaster, offered
q resolution as follows:
WHEREAS, Hon. Thomas B. Reed :,
Sneaker of the Fifty-first Congress,
bv his rulings on the question OF a
quorum, made vital the principle
that representatives in Congress were
elected to transact and not obstruct,
DELAY and prevent legislation, and
by his courage and tirmness in en-
forcing the ruling secured the pas
sage of important and necessary
measures, Therefore, be it
Resoloed, That the House OF Rep
resen,atives heartily endorse the
action of Speaker Reed and com,
mends his course as wise, states
manlike and patriotic and deserv-
ing of the thanks of the people.
The reading of the resolution was
greeted with loud laughter on the
Democratic side. Skinner, OF Ful-
ton, moved to add to the resolution
that the House endorses Senator
Cameron for voting for free coinage
of silver and freedom of debate.
The Speaker decided the motion not
germane to the subject. Gillian. of
Franklin, offered substitute that
"The House do most earnestly con-
demn the action of Speaker Reed as
being arbitrary and revolutionary" "
This was rejected, yeas 55, nays sc,
strict party vote.
Ritter of Lycoming, moved to
amend so as to make it read: "The
Republican members Of this house
heartily endorse, ETC."
Brooks, of Philadelphia, raised
the point of order that the Republi-
can members of the House could not
as distinctive portion of the House
resolve anything. The Speaker de-
cided tie point well taken, and Rit.
ter's amendment out of order. Nc
Neelis, of Cam bria, offered the fol
lowing as an addition
ReSolve1 Further, That copy of
these resolutions be sent to the next
Congress.
This was voted down, and the
yeas and nays were then called for
on the original resolution, and it
was adopted by strict party vote,
yeas 81, nays 3d..

The Direct Tax.

At the beginning of the war of '6l
the general government III order to
provide for the extraordinary ex'
penses levied tax against each
state in proportion to its population
and wealth. The loyal states paid
the tax, but of course the rebellious
states refused to pay, and have not
paid to this day. The previous
Congress passed an appropriation
bill to refurd this tax to those
states that had paid, but Cleveland
vetoed the bill because under it, the
South would receive very little
money. The bill was again called
up by the present Congress and
despite almost the unanimous demo
cratic opposition it was again passed
and having a republican President
in the chair the bill will be signed.
Under it more than one million and
q half dollars will be received by
Pennsylvania. How did our Con-
eressman vote on this measure
does some one ask ? Of course he
arrayed himeelf against it and on
the side of the South. This ap-
preparation will assist in reducing
taxation in Pennsylvania. The
democratic statesmen grow red in
the face over taxation but always
vote against every measure tending
to tighten it.

AS twelve other Speakers in the
history OF our Congress have been
more or less honored by petty par
tisan opposition to the usual vote OF
thanks on the day Of final adjourn
ment, Mr.. Reed need not mind the
Democratic refusal to compliment
him. Maybe he doesn't. It's quite
possible that he regards it as quite
as decorative a compliment as their
favor would have been.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1891-03-13

he sided with the prosecution, en-
'larged on the fearful consequences
jof a conviction, and urged Suther-
land to settle.
Then the final act began. Suther.
land was told that for $4,000 the
whole matter could be hushed up
and settled, the prosecution would
he dropped, and nothing would ever
become known to the public.
The pressure was enormous. The
poor old man, half sick terrified out
of his life, and utterly without
friends or advice, yielded and signed
the note.
Upon hearing this testimony
Judge Woodward Immediately
granted rule to show c7use why
the Judgment should not be opened
and made it returnable March Is,
when the whole matter will be in
vestie ated.
LAWYER LYNCH's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Lynch was seen and stated
broadly that he regarded the case
as one of the boldest. most shame
less conspiracies for the purpose of
blackmail ever conceived. There
was no question that Mr.. Suther-
land had acted foolishly and GRIMM
ally In having anything to do with
the libelous circulars, but for that
he should be punished, not black
mailed.
The position in the case of Rev.
Samuel w. Sears, pastor of the nj.
E. Church at Bloomsburg, is most
remarkable one. He is, or was, q
candidate for the position Of pre-
siding elder of the Danville District,
now held by Mr.. Donohoe, and to
obtain that position he had taken
singular proceedings. He wanted
to get Donohoe removed and wrote
many letters to Sutherland, furnish
ing him with information to be used
in the circulars against Donohoe.
He evidently knew that Sutherland
was the author of the circulars,
though he does not in his letters say
so much. In one letter he SAYS
"Another circular will kill him as
sure as fate"
He urged Sutherland to do all in
his power to have Donohoe re-
moved from the position OF presid-
ing elder, and himself PUT in his
place. He told Sutherland that if
he (Sears) ever got the position of
presiding elder, Sutherland should
be his right hand man, and be re.
stored to all the power and infu-
ence in the church he formerly had.
These letters are now in the hands
of Mr.. Lynch, and will be forth-
coming at the proper time.
When Sears, however, found that
Sutherland was caught, he turned
and urged Sutherland to sign the
note.

Pianos Organs.

The improved method of fsstening strings O. f
Pianos, Invented by u.s. is one Of the most i'm
portant improvements ever made, making the
instrument more richly musical in tone. more
durable, and less liable to get out of toLe.
Both the Mason Hamlin Organs and
Pianos excel chiefly in that which u the chief
excellence in any musical instrument, quality
of tone. Other things, though important, are
much less so than this. An Instrument with
unmusical tones cannot be good. Illustrated
catalogues of new styles, introduced this season
