The residence of both these individ uals is twenty miles distant from Bellefonte. A. prosecutes fora bill of one hundred dol lars; lie summons three witnesses to sub stantiate Ins claim.

We have reference to the fees that are. al lowed by law to be paid to witnesses. There is seldom that there is a court held In Belle fonte, n Nether it be a court of Quarter Ses nns a Special Court, that we do not hear if serious C01111,12111111g about the.failure of ttnesws to appear when needed, attach ments lime to be issued, adding more cost to the wit seas, n Ito tv compelled to pay Sl thongh peciminrynernharrnsmoit - q may have the cause of his detention, and a SCOW of modesty may have refused The privilege and we may add, the unpleasant privilege of publicity acknowledging 'it before court.

A aiincs.s is a very important person in a snit at law, upon his evidence if it be to the point, rests the Certainty or uncertainty of the case pending, hence, his presence is an indispensable necessary, whilst Ms err settee may prove an unjust loss. The at terney must rely more upon the evidence.of the nitness for his successful areas than he does upon Ins own shrewdness in evading or construing the law to suit the exigency of the case, and if he ever wins popularily lie is indebted ten times more to the witness, Hiatt he Is to his °Wit aptness in evasion or construction of the law. Now the fee of a a itness is sixty-two and a-half-cents per day,sand six cents mileage, and if the party that summoned loin is able and honorable, he gets his pay, if not, he loses It. ill tIY sett th cages." few days would answer to finish up all court 'business, and thus the d Idly pay of Jurorsecpurt room officers; and other officials would be greatly diminished: There would he no need of a Special court with, its " special expenses" vy,ffiCh the county has to pay, and now, re 'mintier every one of you that is a i tax pay ers yon-can sway mith this .• special court"you veilLallfc for the county hun dreds of dollars yearly.
