The bill before the House at Har-
risburg relating to the conducting
of mines in Sullivan county is just
now attracting considerable atten-
tion in the Bernice vicinity. We
understand that large petitions for
and against the bill have been sent
in for the consideration of Members.
James A. Ross and r. I'll. Guy, both
acting in the capacity of mine Super
intendents at Bernice, made Har-
risburg call, recently IN the inter-
est of the bill. 1t is generally un-
derstood thst should the bill be-
come law the result would be very
detrimental to miners in this locality,
while a few (?) have quite the re-
verse opinion. tt is expected that
the bill will come up for second
reading next week and lively time
is looked for. We given to under
stand that Hon. Russell Karns is op-
posed to the bill and will take de-
cided steps to defeat it. Hon.
Grant Herring, senator of this dis.
trict will do what he can to further
the passage of the bill.

DIED: At Larorte, Pa, ON sunday
Evening March 20, 1891, Mrs.
Mary A. MeyIert, Wife Of
william Meylert Esq,
I'm the sixty Fourth
Yoar Of Her Age.

| Mrs. Meylert whose maiden name
was Gregory, was born in Dimmock
Susquehanna county, but the greater
portion of her childhood, and early
womanhood were spent in the City
of Hartford Conn, in the family OF
the late Reuben Chapman, surround
ed by the best Christian influences.
She early made a profession of re-
ligion and united herself with the
First Baptist Church, of Hartford
then under the pastorship of the
Rev. r. Turnbull.
In 1851 she married William Mey-
lert and since that date has resided
at LaPorte Sullivan county, Pa,
where she has ever been earnestly
and actively engaged in the advance
mcnt of all Christian and moral
work until absolutely prevented by
impaired health. Upon the organi-
zation of the LaPorte and Eagles
Mere Baptist Church, over thirty
five years ago, she was one of the
constituent members being associated
with the families of Baldwin, Jones,
Haywood, Peale, Little and others in
aiding and forwarding the mission
work of Rev. N. Calender, whose
Jealous, self sacrificing work for his
Master will long be remembered by
the older families of our county.
She leaves a husband and five
children to mourn her loss. Not only
was Mrs. Meylert a Jealous and
|devout Christian, ever ready and
efficient in all church work but she
was one of those noble concientious
self sacrificing women whose in
fuence for good was felt by all.
Ever ready to do all in her power
to assist her friends, neighbors or
others who were in need of help.
The poor and needy were never
turned from her door, but all were
made to feel that in her they had
friend. She was most kind and affec:
tionate wife and mother pleasant
and obliging neighbor, and one
whose loss Will be felt by our whole
community.
She has been agreat sufferer for
years, but has borne her sufferings
with most christian fortitude with
out murmurings or complaint. OF
her 1t can be most trnthfully said
"her children shall rise up and call
her blessed"
The family have the heartfelt
sympathy of our whole community.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday, at 2:30 p. m., Rev. IL.
G. Monroe, of Muncy, officiating.

And now to wit March 27, 1891,
Jacob Lorah the defendant pleads
payment, payment with leave &C.,
and pleads speciality that the report
of the county Auditors is erroneous
in every balance charged against
him, the said Jacob Lorah, Treasur>
er of Sullivan county, in each ac-
count to wit:
In the statement of the account of
Jacob Lorah Treasurer IN account
with the County of Sullivan for 1890,
wherein there is charged against
him as received for the use of the
county fourteen thousand eight hun
dred and sevcnty-nine dollars and
twenty>eight cents and credit given
for ten thousand five hundred and
sixty-eight dollars and nine cents,
and balance found against him four
thousand three hundred and eleven
dollars and nineteen cents, the
charges and credits are not correct
and the balance charged against him
is erroneous.
And further in the statements of
the accounts of Jacob Lorah, Treas
urer, in account with the several
townships and boroughs for taxes,
received from unseated lands for
road, school and building purposes
the charges and credits in each case
are not correct, and the balance in
each of said accounts, as charged
against him, are erroneous.
And further in the said report
there is charged against him, the
said Jacob orah treasurer as afore-
said for poor funds due to the sever
al townships to wit: Poor taxes
received from lands returned and
unseated for the use of the several
townships the charges and credits in
each case are not correct, and the
balance in each of said accounts as
charged against him is erroneous.
And further in the statement in
said Report of the account ofJacob
Lorah Treasurer with the several
townships for the proportion of
money due them tor licenses the
amounts charged against him as
due the township of Davidson is an
error the proper credit not having
been allowed him.
And further the said Report is in
error in all of the said accounts
where balances are charged against
him, in not giving him the said
Jacob Lorah credit for five per cent
commission due to him for money
collected and received by him ac-
cording to law which has been or
must be paid out by him. The
amount of credits with held from
him by the county Auditors as COM
missions as aforesaid is seven hun :
dred dollars in the aggregate.
Wherefore the said Jacob Lorah
prays that the issue made up in this
case be tried and verdict rendered
according to the law and the evi.
dence.

Grip has taught the sound lesson
that cold cannot be neglected in
our climate as it can in the more
temperate Winters of England. 1t
has taken some two hundred years
for our race to learn this, and if grip
leads all "colds" to be treated with
the respect there serious maladies
deserve, even grip will not be in
vain.
