We ha.l srveral Judfra Baer Meets with a Serious Accident. Tuesday morn ins of last week Judge liner anrompaniei! by two of hi daughters, tlie Misses Ma.-ue and Km ma, drove over to I5ed ford iu a two-horse carriage, where the Judre held an argument court Vednesday and i Thursday. Friday morning they st-fted to i nur:i h-uue.

In Lis efforts to stop them the Judre was drafed out over the dash-board and thrown violent ly to the ground. In falling bis bead and riht shoulder came in contact with a stone, with such force as to render him uncon scious. The poie broke, and tlie horses be came detached from the carriage just as he wa thrown out. The young ladies, who oc cupied the rear seat of the carriage, were thrown forward aeainst the front seat, sus taining very slight injuries. The nearest house to the place where the accident occur red was almost a mile distant and it was with great difficulty that the young ladie succeeded in procuring assistance and carry ing their unconscious father, wliom they supposed dead, to the house. This done, a telegram was sent to BedSird for medical as sistance. Dr. Eidii 1.1, of Bedford, came out at one and mon examination found tlie Judge badly cut about the head, his right arm and shoulder severely bruised and sev eral of bis ribs fractured ; while his jierson was covered with cut and bruises, none of them being very serious.

Ministers. Justices and friends of persons who have died should l-ar in mind that we are always willing to publish death and mar riage notices if sent in to us. Often we do not bear of these events and consequently cannot publish them. The sending in of such notices-is to us a matter that is much neglected and we are sometimes criticised for tlie omission of the same, when it is from no fault of ours. Friends please remember this in sending in such notices, give all the fcicts. Dates, names and places should especially not be forgotten. Ab-mt the prmrest nse that ran be made of a man is to confine him in jail. The last legislature recttnized this fact and passed a law giving burgees the power to work per sons on the streets on public improvements, w ho may be convicted of violating any of the peace ordinances and fail to twy the fine imposed. The law strikes at the practice of inraref rating mid keeping tl.em in jail at the expense of law abiding citizens. I'mler this law tb.ise who cannot pay their fines in lash for violating ordinances must give the lown its equivalent work. One who knows tells how to .are for bug gies aud carriages : A dry bouse, free from dust and sun. and away from the stables, is of first importance. If you keep your butrgy near the stables, the ammonia will kill the varnish in a very short time. Sever, under any iireunisiamx-s, rub oil over your car riage to brighten it up. It is sure to ruin the paint. l"seag.d sponge and a clean chamois, with plenty of clear, cold water to wash the mud off with. Sever use a duster or broom on varnished work. Sever allow water to lie thrown in side the bodv. It is sure to affect tli- glue and swell the timliers, so as to brink the Joints. Mod allowed to dry on a carriage is of no benefit. Frequent oiline of axles does no barm. The coke ojwralors of tlie Conneilsville re gion are alarmed, and Uie far seeing ones are now making some active investigations. The new coke fields of Clearfield comity and Cambria county are causing tlie anxiety. The ppxlucers of tliese regions are now com ing into the market and they are so much of a factor as to take contracts worth tlmusands of ilollars annually that tlie larger coke firms of the Conneilsville region have had for years. These contracts have dwindled away so gradually tliat tlie o-rato have not given tlie matter much attention during the past year. Business lias been pretty brisk with the coke men bcre for two years, and they did not give much attention to the gradual loss of their eastern tmle. By coru ring their present sales in the east with what they shipped several years ago. the Una ia trade is more keenly realised, Tbey can not longer afford to ignore tlie matter. This derisioft has been hastened by the fact that almost every week letter are received (rum eastern customers of Conneilsville coke ask ing for better term and telling the operators here that w hat the Omni Ilsville onke is now ousting tbem. This nrw coke, some say, will answer their purpose, whiie otlters de clare that it ia just a good, if not better than the Connelbnrille product, which la generally conceded to he tiie best. fironubmrf Record.

A simple apparatus has receutly been used in France for preparing the ingredient of concrete, which might be used in worka on a large scale with considerable advantage. As described in a letter to a French paper tle apparatus, which seems to have been originally devised by a manufacturer of con crete sewer pijiea, consists of a cylinder of about three feet in diameter, mounted on a hollow shaft which is pierced with many holes. The cylinder is also pierced with holes of varying sues, arranged in aonea, and a helix of coper is set in the interior. By a simple mechanism, driven by water power from a bnk, the cylinder is made to revolve about once a minute, and at the same time water is forced under pressure into the hol low shaft. Earth from tlie gravel bank near which the machine is set up is then thrown by shovelfuls into the upper end of the cyl inder. ciib Schamba her's saloon in Philadelphia County, and tliere met Edward Flanagan, who iitune'l pajier to William's back, lit it, and burned Rotuinel. who sued the tavern keeper. The lower court decided against the plaintiff. In tlie Supreme Oourt last week Justice Gordon held that the saloon keeper occupied a position which enabled him to see all that transpired, and it was his duty to protect his guest. His responsibili ty ia all the greater if he made Flanagan drunk. The Justice laid emphasis on the clause siiowing that " when one enters a sa loon oned for the entertainment of the public the proprietor is bound to see that he is projieriy protected. A new trial was or dered. Judge Dean's Opinion of Patent Bitters. In the course of his instructions to the Grand Jury of lllair County, last week Hon. John Dean made the following remarks, which are applicable to Somerset county as Weil : In any case where persons have under some other name than whisky, brandy, gin and so on, sold intoxicating liquor, calling it "peruna," ' ginger ale"" bitters." and the like ; if the articles sold lie in fact intoxicat- j ing liquor, such sale is a violation of the i law. Giving the mixture or liquid a false name does not change the character of the cflense. The law will not tolerate such evasions. It is your duty to make strict in quiry, and if druggists or others are seeking to evade the law by selling spirituous, vin ous or malt liquor under an assumed name you should, on proper ppof, promptly re turn true bills against them.

WASHINGTON LETTER. The President nd "The Wife of the President." From our Occasional Correspondent. There are in this country about sixty mill ions of people. Of this number it is safe to say that there are not ten thousand wlio have any personal knowledge of even tlie leading trails of their highest officials. We I claim to be a free s.plc ; and yet. of all people on earth, we are the most abject slaves to our leaders. We not only follow ti.-em, but we adoit their idoif and their prndicrt. HeiH-e the iiii;rt.niv of fiir and truthful teaching. I propose in this letter to give to the read ers of the Herald as nearly as possible, a cor rect description of their President. Physiially he was described by a New York taper .the Sun, I believe), as a gentleman who Weighs two hundred and fifty pounds, and wean a twenty-fire collar. He is " fair, fat and fitty." He has a fine eye, and impresses you with the conviction that be is thomughly honest, fnlike most fat men. he is not lazy. In view of what I have said, the statement I am about to make will astonish the reader who has not made human nature a study. Jr. Clrrcloud it tiu muM dungerwu man tjul! ins ertr bera eUmttd hi the Prrriilntty ! I reach this conclusion for the following rea sons : fa-it. He is thoroughly self-opinionated. There is not a man in or out of bis party, in whose opinion he has as much confidence as in bis own. .Second. He is stupidly stubborn. Firm ness is an admirable trait, but Mr. Cleveland mistake dogged tenacity or stubbornness for firmness. Jackson was firm, but he could listen to advice. Lincoln was firm in his convictions of right ; and popular clamor had no more effect upon him than have theangry waves upon the rock of Gibraltar. But while possessing tlieVbrf i'tr iarc no man ever ex hibited more of tlie twrUn in mmfu. Hecar rieil out the great principlesof reform through advice and assistance of his chosen friends. Sot so with Mr. Cleveland. He affects to believe that the safest road lies in the avoid ance of his party leaders. He believes that he is better than his party. His presistence in forcing a colored man on the people of this District as one uf their highest officers, over the unanimous protest of his political friends was a piece of political insolence un paralleled 'n the histoty of the government. For every Mugwump placated by this pre tended devotion to the colored rue, lie will lose a thousand white vote. If he wanted to do justice to the colored race, why did he not appoint a negro to some iniirtaut place in South Carolina or Mississippi, where they represent a majority of the citizens, instead of importing one from Massachusetts, where negro ftn cuu.nl, and appointing him to a place in Washington where mixtiif votes? Third. M'. Cleveland is a very vain man. He believes be is a child of destiny. These three elements, self-confidence, self esteem, and a distrust of others, constitute, in all ages and in all countries, and among all men the character wjiich the worl.Ls calls a trm s . I nitc then) in one man, and then ail. I the occasion, and you have a dttptlitm I Very many nsple feartsi that Grant, having arisen to the Presidency by virture of qualities as a great soldier, would never resign the office. That he would declare himself dictator or something of that sort. So man, however, who entered into his presence and became impressed with bis unaffected tuodusty, ever went away oppressed with this fear. I have said that Mr. Cleveland is honest. But what of that ? Most vain men are honest. Hon esty is not at all incompatible with tyranny. Cesar honestly believed that he was better qualified to govern Rome than was the Sen ate. Cromwell honestly believed tliat be was an instrument in the hands of Ppjvidence to reform the government ; and acting under the inspiration of this beliefie marched bis armed tnsijis iuto the halls of parliament, and disjiersed the body. Napoleon was an hon est refontier; he believed that the world would be better for having one ntler instead of many ; the one ruler being, of course, himself. But why multiply examples? What I men to say b, that the man who thinks lie is better than bis party, and that he knows more than irs trusted leaders is a dangerous man ; and the fact he is honest in this belief does not rentier him less so. FimrtJt. But there is another element in Mr Cleveland's character that remains to In noted. He is wanting iu every element of refinement. When I sjsrak of refinement I do not use the term in the sense of elegance of manners. There are men of the greatest refinement of character, who are plain and simple even to awkwardness in their deport ment. I mean to say that he is coarse and vulgar; that he is fimd of show and parade: that his su.l.len elevation fnim obscurity to fame made him an aristocrat, and gave to the world another illustration of the truth of the old and homely maxim "put a beggar on horseback, and he will ride to the devil 1" To illustrate. When Mr. Cleveland was alsmt to marry it was given out that the re cent death of a relative of the bride was tobe n-gapled as a reason for a quiet and private ceremony. If this course had had been ob served : if he hail gone to tlie residence of his affianced, and theme on a quiet bridal tour, tile world would have approved his taste. But instead thereof, he imitated in the most offensive manner tlie customs of royalty. The bride elect was brought in state to the Castle. With the police guaniing the ap proaches to the White House, in the pres ence of a select few, surnxinded by more tlian oriental splendor, the ceremony was perfonned ! Precious pieces of wedding cake, enclosed in satin-lined rosewood boxes, that were reported to have cost i fifty dollars each, were distributed as menien- tos of the niyal occasion. What then ? I This representative of reform, of the plainer and " and better days of the republic." hies him away to West Virginia and swnds his honeymoon at one of the most aristocratic country places, surrounded by a guard of troops under orders to allow no man to ap proach within a half mile of his royal high ness. Take his recent trip. No crowned head in Eunqie ever traveled in such splen dor. A baggage car, a commissary car, a jialace drawing room car, a smoker, and a sleeper to transport a plain Jtffersonian Democratic President ! Of Mrs. Cleveland 1 shall have but little to say. It is an ungracious and unpleasant task to criticise a lady. But a she has. in a pub lic letter, taken occasion to remind the pub lic that she is "the wife of the president," it is in that character that I propose to discuss her. As a plain country girl, I have no doubt but that she was what she is now a very pretty woman. But a woman who could write such a silly letter as she wrote to a committee of Sew York gentleman who i invited her to make a flag presentation ; a woman who can descend to the lane and imitate the commercial vanity of a common actress by having her photograph taken in no less than a hundred different posture, need what she has not the kind monitions of a refined husband! It is a mutter of sur prise that such a woman could afford to in sult tlie governor of a great state because lie had exercised a freeman's privilege of criti cising the public and official act of the Pres ident. But I forbear; for petticoats like charity ought to be allowed to cover a multi tude of faults! Special Excursion. The II. Jt O.

Xcfl, in Somerset, after a protract ed illn, on Weiliiewlay, October 5, t-V"7. Mr. Jacoo Neff, Sr., agisl S:5 year. months and JO days. The ilei-eased was born in Franklin comi ty, Pa and was three years ;f age when his lather, Frederirk Xetf, moved to Somerset county. He lived in the vicinity of thetowu of Somerset on a farm in bis bovhissl days. a pursuit well calculated to bring out those nobie and manlv qualities which were so characteristic uf him in his man his si days. Leaving the country home he became a resi dent of Somerset and continued to live in the town nnt'l the time of hi death, covering a perils! of sixty or seventy years. He was not only familiarly conversant with, but also gave personal inspiration to many of the ear ly enterprises of the place. He was engaged for a number of years in the business of mer chandising, having stores at different points in the county as Weil as in Somerset. He also kept a public house for many years, and his well provided hosterly is still within the memory of many of thecitiaens of this coun ty. His popularity was such with the peo ple that apparently be need but indi cate the preferment he wished, and it was accorded him by increased majorities. He was elected once to the office of coun ty treasurer, and discharged the duties of the office with fidelity. He was afterward elected to the office of register and recorder, and here the duties were penornied with neatness and dispatch. He served as county auditor for some years and was also commis sioners' clerk for fourteen years, and fre quently in important matters performed tlie duties of deputy sheriff of the county. He took part in the construction of what was known as the plank road, which passed through the county. He served as adminis trator for thirty-two different estates, and it would be impossible to approximate the number of wills he has written and the pub lic sales of which be was cierk. He was also at one time first lieutenant of the " Somerset Independent Blues," a mili tary company commanded by dipt. Aiexan dor Ogle. Sr. He ierh:i at one time hail a more extensive acquaintance of the men of this county in their social and business rela tions than uny other man in it Ilisequable tcmer and kindly disiosition. as well a his calm and impartial judgment, well fitted him to mediate between contending parties and through his practical wisdom and pru dence frequently law suits were prevented and good will and harmony restored between neighhors and relatives In short, most evry one knew Jaccb Xeff. and very many trusted in his integrity and fitness to trans ai t their important offices for tiiem. In his social relations he was ever most thoughtful and obliging. His neighbors bear uniform testimony to his kind and obliging disposi tion. The noble and generous impulses ofa man of his mould would not admit of any thing else, and his borne to those who knew him became the very synonym of hospitali ty. The hospitality of his home wa not confined alone to those who were able and liktiy lo Ps-ipnxate these favors, bet to the poir and unfortunate alike those who were im pendent and helpless. This hospitable and kindly spirit gave him a strong hold on j the iieople of the community, and even of the county, and if he had been simply a self seeking man, and used his popularity sim ply and alone for personal preferment and self-aggrandizement, other places of honor, trust and profit would have been at his dis posal ; but the unselfish aud charitable man that he was, he lived to bless, and to become a blessing to others. He lived to be helpful, and to bless, and hence his character was not only admired wile living, but his memory will be cherished, for "The righteous shaii be held in everlasting remembrance," He was married in the year 12C to Mary, ilaughter of Mr. George Flick, of this coun ty, aud they lived together in this sacred re lation over sixty years. His beloved wife and help meet pn-ceediiig him to tiie eternal world aisiut six or seven montlis previous to his death. There were bom to them two sons and two daughters, Frederick and George, Eliza and Mary. Eliza ileparted this life while yet quite young. The others are stiil living and their loving synipalbies and watchful cares were a great solace to him iu declining days, and they will continue to carry with them the pleasing consciousness tliat their loving ministries ad. led much to the comfort and happimss of the departing days of their parents. The .L erased was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church Sir more than jo years. In the fall of ls-jfi. jat a short time before his marriage he and his betrothed both made a public profession of faith in Christ. They each gave their love to Christ as well as to each other. For a number of years he was an office bearer in the cbnreh and sometimes attended the synudical meetings with bis pastor. At his house the minister of the gijepel always found a welcome, and when sympathy and financial aid was needed, kne w they always had a friend in brother Neff. and not only the ministers of his own de nomination, but of other churches as well, found a weli-ome under his home. He could give a very correct history of the organiza tion of many of the churches of the county, and es ially of the Lutheran churches the nanus of the early ministers, and the order oftinwin which they served the r. unrein- lions, and. also the lenu'th of time which they served the coiiirntrition, and all these and many other thiinrs were carefully kept a a matter of record by him. and. hem-e he was capable of (tivine valuable information to tliise who were looking up the early his tory of the Lutheran chun-li of Sfimer-i-t nmnty. Of the early history of hi christian life the writer of this article knows but little, and con.seueiHly must be silent, bnt forth last few year h hal a mt irimate ac quaintance with him ami i.new i- ho'-e, his (ear, his pi rit and hi life, and esi-cil-ly were his last two year a beautiful enem piifi.Hti.in of (.-njwth in irr.ice; his faith had a sure anchor, and aa. abiding and his pa tience and humble spirit Christ-like.

He had his lamp trimmed and biiniinc waiting patiently, and yet lonsrine for the cimin; of the Bride-firoom. and. at last when the meseC(rer came unheralded, i in the still and quiet hour of the niirht j Father Neff calied his .laughters and son and I the family who bad been so unremitting in tlieir ministries of love to him. and then 1 lifted up ills hands, and in falterins; accents, j said " I am jroing up, up" and peacemlly i fell asleep, to awake no more in this wwM. but to awake in that other anil better world, j where he dwells forever in the perfect like- nes of Christ. "' Mark the upright : the end ' of that man is peace." The funeral services were held in Trinity Lutheran Church, and the pastor Iter. J. K. Shearer improved the occasion by preaching a sermon, basing hi remark on the text I Samuel xii:2-4 : " I am old and gray head ed, and, behold, my sons are with yon, and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. Behold, here I am ; witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken, or. whom have I defrauded, whom liave I oppressed or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith and I will restore it you.

In .thei-:ie of Eli Thumas and Warren Saunders versus the Couiuionw'.viith certio rarit! totheqiianeT sessions of Greene coun ty, the following opinion was fan-led down, from the Siiprenin ' 'diet.

It would be a curious leifal anomaly to hold that the liom r vernier might have his liccti.; under the former act and yet be exempt from the conditions to which, by the same act. it was made subject. It follows, that the court Oelow was right in .t-fusing to sustain a itinstructioii of the act of 17. such as contended for by the defend ants." In the case in oqestion Thomas and San ders were in.!' -Jr n.lr the genera' liquor Ih-eOse law .ri' U tore the case came to trial the act oft? was passed and became a law,- but. neverthelesa, the trial proceeded and sentence was passed in accoplance with the act of The defendants asked the supreme court to quash the pn-eediiigs.oii the ground tliat they could not be convicted under a law which had been n-jaled. The supreme court, however, took a differ ent view of the matter, and sustained the lower court on the ground that the defend ants had taken out licenses under the provi sions of a certain law and were subject to its penalties, and no other, on the principle of a contract in which penalties are to be enforc ed for nou-compluiuee with its provisions, and which neither party can chanue while the contract is in force. This opinion reverses the rulings of Judges Buer and Johnsou at our last term of court. MARRIED. BRANT WEIGHLEY. On rsuii.Iay. the l'ilh i list., at the bride's home, by Rev. J. H. Zinn. Mr. John H.
