THE Law or Trespass.—Gunnpers
are tramping through the rural districts
{ in search of game. This is going on all
{ over the country as well in Centre as in
other oounties. They go over the
fields, break down fences, and when op-
and bag them. Some persons think that
or trespassing upon private lands, and
| cautionary notices in newspapers, are of
| little account, and that they may be dis-
regarded with impunity. Thisis a mis-
take, as the law makes it an act of tres-
| pass to go upon cultivated or inclosed
(even if there is no sigh-board,) and the
owner is entitled to recover actual dam-
ages for such trespass. Where the
sign-boards are properly erected any
person who trespasses upon land so
‘guarded is liable not only to pay the
actual damages, but also a penalty not
| exceeding $25. If, however, the owner
comply with its requirements. There
must be at least one sign board, not less
thar a foot square, to every fifty acres
of land, upon the farm lines, upon the
shores or banks of the lake, stream or
pond which it is intended to protect,
orin a conspicuous place upon the
grounds that are to be thus protected.
Any person who defaces, injures or
destroys such a sign is guilty of a mis-
demeaner, and liable to a penalty of $25.
Last fall a case of trespass of this kind
was tried before the Montgomery county
court, and for the benefit of pot hunters
( in this section, and as a matter of inter-
est to farmers, we here give the charge
of the judge to the jury.
“No man has the right to go upon the
premises of another, whether for gun-
ning or for other purposes, without the
consent of the owner, and every person
so doingis a trespasser, Although it
is customary for persons to enter upon
the grounds of others for the purpose of
fishing, nutting and gunning, yet they
have no right to do it without the con-
sent of the owner. Being a trespasser
he must get off the premises, if directed,
and must not stand upon his going. He
must move off as fast as he can, but he
need not run. If he refuses to go the
owner can use as much force as is neces-
sary to pat kim off, even if it resultsin
the death of the offender, but you dare
not use more force than is absolutely
necessary.”
A Big Estate. —The name of L. M.
Coudreit is fumiliar to almost every per-
son in Clearfield county, and it is also
well known in Centre county, but few
have any idea of the amount of property
he left at hic demise. From Sheriff
McCloskey, who will soon execute a writ
of partition in this estate, the Karthaus
Times has learned that he owned 43
tracts of land in Covington township,
which aggregate 38,265 acres; 19 tracts
in Girard township, which aggregate 2,
803 acres; a tract of 65 acres in Karthaus
township ; a tract of 118 acresin Gra-
ham township; the undivided half in-
terest in 650 acres in Union township ;
150 acres ia Burnside township, Centre
county ; a lot and the undivided half
interest in another in Karthaus jtwo lots
in Mulsonburg ; 32 lots with river front
and a steam saw mill at Middletown,
Dauphin county, and 13 lots and 3}
acres in Port Royal, Dauphin county.
The expense of setting a valuation on
this property, surveving, making drafts,
ete., will amount to between $500 and
$1,000.
AccipENT 710 Mgrs. CoNDUCTOR
Hauvpr.—The Tyrone correspondent of
the Altoona Tribune says: Mrs. Allison
Haupt, wife of passenger Conductor A.
L. Haupt, of the Tyrone division, in
getting off fast line Friday evening was
thrown to the platform, suffering bruises
on left side and shoulder. The train had
come to a stop but not at the proper
place at the station.
‘When Mrs. Haupt was about to step
from the car to the platform the train
started and the sudden jerk threw ber as
above stated. She was picked up and
conveyed to the Empire housa bus and
taken to her home, on Logan street, and
Dr. G. W. Burket called,who found upon
examination that no bones were broken
but bruises as stated, and she was also
suffering from nervous prostration. It
was a Jucky escape and but for the
timely assistance of Harry C. Gross she
would have been under the wheels.
AN AGED FAMiLy.—Mrs. Reynolds,
of Rebersburg, afew days ago celebrat-

would be pleased to have them call of-

were in town on Tuesday night we no-
ticed Mr. G. W. Gill, of Martha Fur-
| nace and Mr. D. J. Gates, of Half Moon,
Both were more than pleased with the
meeting and say that the speakers all
voiced their sentiments. When hats
were to be thrown up and cheers to be
given none went higher or louder than
did those of the two gentlemen who call-
ed cn us this morning.
——The high price of corn and oats
will make high prices for cow feed as
well as chop for other stock. Cotton
seed and linseed meal are excellent food
for cattle as well as horses, the cotton
seed is the best for milk cows. These
meals cost about the same as chop, not-
withstanding one pound of either cotton
or linseed meal is equal to more than 3
pounds of corn or oats, or 8 pounds of
wheat bran—these facts have been fully
demonstrated by practical experiments
by the most distinguished agricultural
chemists. A hand full of linseed meal
mixed with each feed of oats for a horse
makes his digestion good and makes his
hair shine. In other words makes his
coat sleek.
——The dedication of the new Tem-
ple of Magnolia Lodge, No. 602, I. O.

railroads leading to Philipsburg. The
events of the day wiil bea parade, com-
prisiug visiting lodges, cantons and
encampments, local societies and fire
companies, the Wheelmen’s club, and
other organized bodies; dedication
services in the temple ; public address
by Grand Sire Nicholson ; public din-
ner in Brinton, Duncan & Barnes’ hall,
and a grand banquet in the evening.
The town will be decorated, business
places closed, and the day will be observ-
ed as a holiday.
——The Marie Greenwood Opera
Company, which will play here on Wed
nesday evening next, is said to be a fine
company of singers. The Rochester
Herald has to say about it :
The performance, at the Grand Opera
House last evening, of the Marie Green-
wood Opera Co., more than justified all
predictions and expectations. “Boceac,
cio’ was presented before a large audi-
ence. Few in the audience had ever
before heard the sweet voice of Miss
Marie Greenwood. Rochester has gen-
erally been chary of commendation
when asked to pass an opinion upon
something new. The approval of Miss
Greenwood was most emphatic. In the
role of Fiametta she meets all the require
ments of mere personality ; her charm is,
after all in the rare sweetness and purity
of her voice, which she uses with such
skill and taste as to excite admiration
even of the critical.
The chorus consists of twenty-eight
voices with an orchestra of seven pieces.

lady has supported Emma Abbott, sing-
ing the leading part when Miss Abbott

CoUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.—A1 a meat-
ing of Council last Monday evening a
committee of residents on Halfmoon Hills
a3 a better means of getting from West
High street to theelevation where they
live, petitioned for the erection of a pair of
steps up the hill to the road leading out
on top thereof, to ascend from the rear of
Mr. James Rankin’s property. The
matter was referred to the Street com-
mittee for investigation and report as to
the probable cost, ete. No actiop was
taken on a petition for the making of a
grading at the entrance of an ally lead-
ing off of Reynold’s avenue. A petition
for a boardwalk out East Howard street
was referred to Street committee.
The Water committee reported that a
general overhauling had been given the
pumps and that this week all the fire
put in proper condition for the winter.
Upon recommendation of Finanee Com-
mittee council exonerated half of Mrs,
Bradley’s tax, amountinc to $30,
for the year 1889, on account
of her juability to pay. The
t amount due Treasurer on the 1st of Oc-
tober, 1890, was reported to be $2,212.-
49. It was decided to putin a water
trap at the mouth or entrance of the
sewer on Allegheny street near L. T.
Munson’s residence.
The Eleetrie Light Company made an
offer to put up 16 are lamps at the fol-
lowing points: At the Diamond ; Alle-
gheny and Howard; Allegheny and
Linn ; Allegheny and Logan ; Alleghe-
ny and Curtin; Spring and Linn ; Spring
and Howard ; Spring and High ; Spring
and Bishop; Linn and Water; Ridge
and Lamb ; Bishop and Penn; Thomas
and Lamb; Thomas and High ; High
and Water; between Court House and
jail; in addition to these the 40 present
incandescent lights will be maintained,
giving a combined light of 33,000 can-
dles, all at the expense of $182.50 per
montb. Additional arc lights, if re-
quired in the future, to be put up and
maintained for $8 per month each.
Council accepted the proposition on
certain conditions, and the Street com-
mittee, assisted by the Finance commit-
tee, was authorized to enter into an
agreement to that effect.
AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE NEAR PHIL-
1PSBURG.—On Tuesday,as a young Ara-
bian girl named Annie Nikel or Mikel,
who has been in this vicinity for some
time, peddling, was passing along the
Blue Bull road between Capt. Cope-
land’s and the old Ayers place, a man
jumped from the bushes and seizing her
by the arm pointed a revolver at her
and tried to drag her into the woods,
The girl screamed so loudly that her
cries were heard by Mr. Stratton’s fam-
ily, who iived near by. Before the
ruffian could drag the girl into the
woods a teamster came along and fright-
ened him away. The girl was brought
to town and Capt. Simler was sent to find
the man. The description given him fitted
a young man named Brooks Butler, son
of Sarrah Butler, and he was arrested.
He denied being the man, but the girl
identified him and he was held for a
hearing before 'Squire McKernan, of
Chester Hill, on Tuesday evening. We
learned yesterday that Butler com-
promised the matter by paying the girl
$25 and paying the cost of the arrest,
ete., and the girl withdrew the charge.
The girl is only 13 years old and very
pretty. Sheis a stranger here.— Phil-
ispsburg Ledger.
A ScampisH LuMBERMAN.—Edward
Lafilin, Sr., who has been lumbering on
Young Woman’s Creek, thinking no
doubt that it was a good chace to fatten
his pocket-book, departed one day last
week with $1000 in cash that he had
drawn from his employers, Howard &
Perry, at Williamsport, with which to
pay off the men, of whom there were
thirty-eight. The Renovo News states
that “besides the money due the thirty-
eight woodsmen, Lafilin had a large bill
at the store of John O. Hagen at North
Bend, which he left unliquidated. The
lumberman also donned the suit of
wedding clothes and appropriated the
gold watch and entire wedding outfit of
his son Edward who about a month ago
was married to a young lady of North
Bend. Before anyone was aware of his
intention, the gay lumber operator had
got out of reach.”

THE PoraTo RoT.—Farmers in this
county who have been and an being trou-
bled with their potatoes rotting, may
be interested in the following from the
Buffalo Courier :
The spread of the potato rot in this
country and in Ireland may be due to
the same cause which forty or fifty years
ago, made a serious trouble,
man of botanical knowledge came to the
conclusion that the potato had
deteriorated, or “run out” by a long |
series of artificial propagation from the |
tuber. He theretore undertook to re-
store the natural method of propagation
from the seed. Sending to Chili, where
the potato grows wild, for seed balls, he
successfully propagated thousands of |
seedlings, from which have come the
Early Rose, the Late Rose, the Peach-
blow, the Garnet Chili, the Snowflake,
and nearly all the other varieties now
grown, while the Pinkeye, the Mercer,
and other varieties known before Mr.

They did see him, they shook hands

, an hour was given at the residence of

ion, composed largely of miners, was

House where the meeting was held, and
which, although capable of holding

son and Messrs. Black, Barclay, Ryan,
and others. It was a glorious day for
Philipsburg, and for better government
and purer politics in Pennsylvania.
CAN CRIME BE CONDONED IN CENTRE
County ?—This is a nice story we have
from Philipsburg, this county. The
other day a miscreant, in the shape of a
dissolute young man, armed with a re-
volver, sized a young girl on the public
highway and ettempted to drag her in-
to the woods for the purpose of commit-
ting an outrage. He was prevented
from accomplishing his hellish purpose
by the cries of the girl and the timely
appearance of a teamster who was driv-
ing along the road. Upon his arrest
his attorney succeeded in securing his
release by the payment of $25. Has it
got to this ? Has crime become a sub-
ject of compromise in this county ?
Here is something to which District
i Attorney Meyer should give his atten-
Ve
| tion.
