North umberland Democrat,
Wk have recotved from Philip Ap
pieman of llohraburg, nu orango grown
by himself, which is tho last of about
two dozen produced by a single trco

Wu notico In an exchango a well
timed plcco of advlco concerning tlio
ventilation of school houses. It is a
subject to which too llttlo utteiitlon is
paid and yet is ono demanding tho
mo3t serious consideration. An un
wholesome tttmosphcro is terribly injur
lous to both teacher and fcliolar, more
do, purhBiH. to tho latter than tho
former, ns tho constitutions of children
nro less ablo to withstand tho elects of
noxious air than thoso of adult-f. It Is
a inattor eminently deserving of atten
tion, and wo shall alludo to it hereafter
at greater length.
Tiiimu sceni3 to bo a, prospect for
plenty of skating this winter, and, in
viowof tlio probability, wo would ad-
vlso our lady readers to take advantngo
of the opportunities. Tho exercise is a
healthful and Invigorating one and, if
but ordinary carefiilnesu is exercised,
devoid of dinger. Tho prejudice which
cxUts against it in some minds is un
called for, If tho most palpable nets of
foolishness aro avoided. If well, but
not too warmly, clothed and if aittiug
on tho ico when heated is not indulged
n, tho sport is truly a beneficial ono
which can hardly fail to bring the roses
on cheeks however pale.

It Is supposed bsonTo jicrsons that it
Is necessary for farmers and others to
advertise that gunning and hunting Is
forbidden on their lands, This is a
mistake Tlio ad of April !), 171)0 jro
vldes that if any person shall presume
to hunt or carry u gun on any inclosed
or improved lands of nny Inhabitant of
tills State, without permission of tho
owner, or shall flro a gun In or near
any nubile highway, and shall there
of bo convicted, boforo any Justlco of
tlio pcaco, ho shall for ovcry such of
fenco, forfeit tho sum of forty shillings.
This act tho Supremo Court of Penn
sylvania, In tho eaBO of Com. vs. Bos
don, decided May llth, 1SGD, to bo still
in forco, and that offenders may bo
summarily convicted, upon Informa
tion laid boforo nnyjustlcoof tho penco.
Farmers aro not obliged to ndvertlso,
but it la well to do so, ns it saves tho
annoyanco of ro3orting to legal pro
cocdlngs In many cases, because gun
nera will know that hunting will not
bo permitted on their properties, and
will thoroforo give their premises n
wido berth.

This catiso for sovoral reasons hns bo
come n somowhat celebrated one so far
as Columblo county Is concornod. It Is
an ejectment for 301 acres of Inrill lying
In what Is now Beaver township. The
action was originally brought August
1-1803. It was arbitrated and an award
filed Fob. 1IM8G0. It was tried boforo
a Court nnd Jury nt May term 1800,nnd
n writ of error taken on tho 01st of tho
same month. Tho ea9o was nrguod bo
foro tho Supremo Court and on tho 10th
March 1803 Mr. Chlof Justlco Thomp
son delivered tho opinion of tho Court,
nnd ordered tlio caso to bo sont back to
Columbia county for n new trial. Tho
caso eamo on to bo tried a second timo,
Dec. 11, 1872, ami tho Jury dollvored
their vcrdht Dec. 17, 1872. Exceptions
liavo boon filed to tho charge of tho
Court in tlio trial Just had, and tho caso
will go back to tho Supremo Court.
But It was moro for tho pttrposo or
calling attention to the Somowhat unus
ual fatality attending tho persons who
liavo been engaged hi tho cause, Mint wo
liavo called attention to It.
Tho prcclpo was signed by Mr. Hur

and who Is slnco dead.
It was addressed to Jacob Eycrly,
then prolhonotury,who is slnco (load.
It was Instituted by Georgo Langon
berger who has since died, against
Joshua Kobison and others, nominal

At tho commencement of tho suit
Stephen Baldy and John MclloynoUls

Judgo Baldy is slnco dead,
Among tlio witnesses who wero then

A very common mistake most persons
mako is in writing tlio capital land J.
Tlioy will write thf 33 two loiters just ex-
ictly alike, nnd tho consequence is that
many errors aro mado in print. This
mostly occurs in the Initials of proper
names. To avoid all such mistakes per
sons should accustom themselves to al
ways write tlio capital I above tho lino
and the capital J. below thu line. It is
douo just as easily, and then th-rn c- in
bo no mistake about them. But if in
curable weakness impels you to write
both letters alike by putting a dot over
tho I tho distinction will bosufllcicntly
clear to prevent mistake. Minor things

A suit of great importanco to build
ers lias been decided In tho Now York
Court of Common Pleas, A brick-nia-
son agreed to build a hotiBO and chnrgo
six dollars per thousand for laying tho
brick. When ho camo to measure the
brick lie measured all tho opeuiugs, wl n
dows, doors, ctc.,as solid work, making
tlio hill $3,000 larger than it would have
been had ho only measured tlio solid
wall. Tho man for whom tlio work was
dono refused to pay this $3,000, and tho
mason brought suit to forco tlio pay
ment, pleading tho custom of brick
masons in his favor. Tlio court decided
that his chnrgo was illegal, aud that ho
had no legal right to cliargo for brick
that wero never laid. This decision is
important to builders aud contractors,
as other Stato Courts would bo likoly to
follow tho decision aud precedent set
by tho New York court. JIazlclon 1SW1

of soldiers' orphans under tho caro of
tho Stnto has undergono no diminution
tho past four years, tho places of those
leaving tho schools by reason of having
arrived at tlio prescribed ago of sixteen
years or for other causes being filled by
others old enough to claim ndmission.
In tho years 1S0S, 1S00, 1870 and 1871 be-
tween 3,000 nnd 3,700 orphans wero
educated and supported under tlio law
providing for tho establishment of tho
soldiers' orphan department, and dur
ing tlio current year tho number lias
been about tho same. Tho monthly ad
missions roach from thlrty-llvo to forty.
Tho yearly expense of tho Stato In keep
ing up tho orphan school system
amounts to from $150,000 to 300,000,
which sum will probably ho greatly re
duced within tho next two or threo

war, when money was plentiful, though
prices wero exorbitantly hgh, tho cash
system provnllod generally, and It was
not less surprising than grutlfyiug to
most persons to find how much easier
It was to "pay as you go," than to pur
suo the old credit system of "pay when
you cau." Tlio credit system is bad for
everybody. It Is especially nu onerous
tax upon honest men, for they aro
virtually compcllod to pay tlio dobts of
tho dishonest. Merchants who lose largo
sums by defaulting customers, nroeom
polled to retrlovo their losses by adding
largo profits to their goods sold to thoso
who pay promptly. This does not at
first glance appear to lie tlio fact, but
taking business in nil its ramifications,
it will lio found as stated, Pay as you
go, as you did during tho war. If you
aro a merchant, pay as you go, nnd If
utiablo to do this, ask yottrsolf wliottior

We learn that conio nau"htv boy
desirous or a little holiday change liavo
been "salting" our friend Brown of
Hloonisburg by imposing upon his gen
erosity in feuding him, at.n gootl liguro
soveral pairs of domestic pigeons tiireo
limes in succession, it seems 1110 nirtis
would Klin their freedom soon after
being purohasod by Mr. Brown, mid
would naturally take to their old quar
ters, thus irlvlntr tho bovs u chanco lor
speculation. George should havo had
tnoir "tans cut snore nnu ears cut ioiig--that
hu might havo known tho truant
birds at tho second olforlng, Jlcrwlck
J title penitent.
Thoso pigeons aro vanards. Wo In
terviewed our worthy landlord as tc tho
truth of tho story nnd ho strenuously
denies It. Somo designing person has
"stulled" tho Uurwlo'c editor. Mr
Brown btateuthnt ho does not buy pig-
cotis or nny other birds, moro than onco
for tlio samo lot. Can It bo Mint some
Borvlckporson,wlthnn unlawful greed
ofgdln has attompted to sell tho samo
urtlelo two or threo Mines and, havln;
failed lu ills endeavors, rushes Into

fondlng Brown. Tho peoplo of that
village on n hill, can do somo pretty
mean things occasionally and It may ho
that this is ono of them.

His most responsible, nnd tbo often his
most neglected duty, Is to return to the
Court at each nnd overy sasdon all of
fenses, as to which tho Court has power
to inquire, try or punish. This func
tion makes him the Inspector of bis
bailiwick tho Informant of tho Court
mado tho bnsls of a bonch warrant n nd
arrest.
If It bo "performed with fidelity nn
examination of tho constable's returns
would at onco inform tho court of tho
moral condltionof tho county, nnd few
offenses would go unpunished.
Thcso nro common law powers and
duties which aro attached to tho offlco,
and afnlluro to perform-them or any of
them is'n misdemeanor In office, which
could nnd would bo punished by tho
court upon conviction had.
But tho Legislature has onlnrged and
particularly specified some of theso of
ficial powers and dutlos.
One of tho early statutes required that
constables should search M1030 public
houses and places suspected of enter
taining tipplers on Sunday, and compel
thorn to dlspcrso quietly. By various
statutes enacted at various times, tho
constable is required to mako n return
under oath as to whether offenses
ngainst Miegamo or fishing laws liavo
boon committed In 'his bailiwick ;
whether any instard children have
been horn therein, together with their
sex, and the names of their mothers ;
whether thoro aro any tipplings that
is unlicensed houses fortho illegal ar.lo of
liquors or licensed houses that violate
tho cnmlltinnn of their license and
whether thrro aro any common, ill-
governed disorderly houses ol postitu-
lion or gambling liouoo-". Tho con
stable must further return, whether tho
index boards aro placed and maintain
ednt the junction roads whether thoro
wero any breaches of tho poaca at tho
election, and tho names of the offenders
whether within ills knowledge there
was any
wagering upon the election,
ntid tho
names of tho bolters, and
whether
Micro wero frauds up'iti tho
election.
All these returns must ha mado under
oath, and if such offenses exist nnd bo
not returned, tho cnnslablo knpwing of
their existence, is guilty of a msde-
ineanor in ofllce.
