The case of the young man who hired a hone in Palcrson on Easter Monday to drive four miles to Little Falls, but drove ten or twelve miles further to the great Injury of the animal, has attracted considerable attention on account of the supposed novelty of the decision that this was an unlawful conversion of the horse to the hirer's own use. This is said to be a new doc trine in the Courts of New Jersey, but it has been distinctly asserted In at least one Instance within our knowledge, by the Supreme Judicial Cort of McmachmotH. In 137-3 tliit trio lml decided (Perham vs. Coney, 117 Mass. Kep.,102) that a person hiring a horse to go to a place agreed upon, but driving him beyond it, was guilty of conversion, and was liable for any sub sequent diminution In the value of the animal, even though It proceeded from some Infirmity of the horse himself. It would be well for peo ple who hire horses to keep these decisions In mind. N. Y. Sun. COUNCIL rROCBKDINOS. Auoit 7th. The regular monthly meeting ofth.

The following is the Meteorological Sum, mafy at Catawlssa, for the month of July 1878. compiled from observations by W. O. Yetter. Barometic pressure Highest reading on the 12th, 30.27 inches ; lowest reading on the 76th, 29.C5 Inches; monthly mean 30.02 inches; monthly range 0,62 of an inch. Temperature of the air Highest reading on "the 18th, 95 degrees ; lowest reading on the 24th 55 degrees ; monthly mean 76 degrees monthly range 40 degrees; greatest daily range on the 7th,29 degrees ; least dally range on the 2th, 6 degrees. Moisture Mean relative humidity 73 per cent ; number of days on which rain fell 12 amount of rain fall 3.92 inches. Wind The prevailing wind was from tbi west and the highest hour velocity during the montli was 45 miles from the northwest on the ill Inst. Thunder storms occurred on the 4th, 8th, 9th 10th, 12th, 18th and 21st, the latter were ac companied by hail and strong wind. If there lias been more nightly lawlessness on the streets than ever before during former ad ministrutions, the police force ought not to bo blamed for it. Heretofore the Chief of Police has had authority to call cut the police force whenever it was necessary to maintain peace and order, and when this was done the officers were paid for their services. Now we have new order of things. The Chief lias been in formed by the President of the Council that no pay will be allowed for night service unless the officers are specially ordered on duty by th President, the result is that when a row oc curs at night while the President Is asleep, the police are at home in bed and the Chief has no author! ty to call them out. If they stay u half Ihe night of their own accord to preserve ijuiet the town authorities will not pay them Under these circumstances, when the slumber of citizens is disturbed by midnight drunken ness and fighting let the blame be put where it belongs . Since the above was put In type the Town Council has authorized the Chief of Police and Town Constable to call out the police when nec essary, and directed that they shall bo paid for their services.

Whit he held the office his main object was to put money in his own pocket. He refused to allow many tax payers lo work out their taxes with their teams will Ihe excuse that he had not rk for them, and then did the labor with his own team, and drew the money for it, He em ployed men on the roads who would take the! pay In store orders on merchants who rent of him, and then take up their town orders hi self and pocket Ihe cash. He quarrelled with the men under his control,. and also with those who appointed him, which latter led to his res Ignatlon. He Is an ill tempered man, and an incompetent officer. But he was not to blame for accepting the position. The majority of the Town Council who appointed him, knew him as well then as now, and his election was not on account of competency, but fo.- the same reason that most of the appointments were made vlxt service at the polls at the spring election They discovered their mistake soon after they made it, but had not the courage to acknowl edge it by discharging him long ago.

A SKETCH OF OltANOEVILLE. It Is quite possible that some of the many readers of the Columbian, have 'never visited the beautiful village of Orangeville. In the romantic situation that it occupies at the south western termination of Knob Mountain, some miles distant from the nearest railroad depot, it is not on the route usually taken by the men i f business ; and the tourist searching for pleasure naturally selects those resorts, which the fash ion of the day and the vote of the multitude, made popular. But although comparatively mi known, this little village, nestling among the hills, is a delightlul resting place for any one desiring a rjuiet and retired life for a few weeks, after the hard work of a busy year. The scenery along the Fishlngcreek valley is fine ; and the smooth well kept roads present unusual attractions lo those fond of drives, while for miles around glens anil woods afford plenty of scope to the active pedestrian. The inhabi tants of this cozy retreat are characterized for their genial, social hoi-pitalily, to which they unite a spirit of enterprising industry, which dospite the hard times manifests itself in var ious ways. Improvements arc being made, which, when finished, will add much lo the appearanco of the town as well as to the comfort of the citizens.

What Will Cure the Tramp. In one respect tho world lives itself over again. iV few years ago it was only in ro uianco and history that tho travellers trem bled before tho foot-pad who took a purso, or stopped the stage coach to relieve frighten ed women of their jewels. It was comforta- lilo to realir.o that this statu of things was doim and over, and that except in tho pages of Scott and Bulwcr and tho historians, bands of pilgrims were no longer set upon by tho robber trains. In England the outlaws who burned tlio farmers' ricks and the steam ma chincry of the mills, wero supposed to be fol lowed by a generation that knew not Chart is in or the Corn laws; and tho security of pfe and property for tho poorest and weakest Scarcity of Water in Schuylkill County. Pottsville, Pa., August C. Reports re ceived this evening from several districts north of Pottsvillo represent that there is a scarcity of water, many of the streams be ing nearly dried up from the long drought and much trouble is caused in working the mines. In the Bear ridge collieries at Mahanoy Plane there was not enough water to work the engines- and consequently 400 men and boys are idle.

As late as 1 819, in England, there were 223 of fences punished by death. Tho question Pro fessor Brewer a.ks is, have wo not gone to the opposite extreme in a mawkish sentiment nnd a weak nbusoof the pardoning power, which perpetuates tho evil-disposed aud tho vaga bond to tho third aud fourth generation? The vigorous exortion of the old, vindictive laws kept down the evil growth by capital exctu tions, but tho spirit of these laws mado crimi uals almost as Pu-t by its inquisitions and multiplication of capital offences. There is ono family that points a moral un der American law. What is known as tho Jukes family has been traced on tho criminal records for ono hundred and fifty years. If tho original pair of ancestors had met their deserts then, cither in punithmeiUor in bring reclaimed from autriim, tho two methods of escapo wo should not havo had then eight hundred' and thirty descendants in a direct liuu of thieves, bad women, muiderers, sui cides, and ruffians of all grades. Reports of fatato charities and 'prison records show the descent of crimes from geuoration to genera tion, so that in weakly pardoning tho crimi nal and suffering him to rear up children like unto lumselt, society fosters for itself tho growth of tramps nnd scoundrels that aro bo giuuiug to show themselves as witnesses to the mistaken benevolence of ono or another pat tern in charities or in law. Tho remedies for tho present tramp, tho outlaw, for whom child hood has no sanctity, hospitality no safeguards, and property no rights, the dealings with him should bo short, sharp, and decisive. Aeainst tho spread and growth of his kind, society must look to its protection for the future. Evidently it does not do to catch him and feed lutn m county prisons, houses of correo lion and poor houses, over the winter, and lot him go in tho spring to repeat a former ca reer. Even tho woik that ho is enforced Jo uo in tne snort interval Is ot little value, be cause of its short apprenticeship and its irren- ular performance. There should bo no short terms nor light sentences for the recognized titiu. ii ta uu ucuuumy jor any uuytjiowc ship or Stato to pass him along to its neigh bor when all tho citios and counties and States are doing tho samo thing. The last year's report of Dr. Moyt, Secre tary of tho New Yolk State Board of Chari ties has a hearing on this aubject. Uo visjt cd sixty-four poor houses in the Stato, con taining ueraly 13,000 publio paupers. Loss than ouu-fourth of this vast number were of American parentage. Iu fifty-fivo cases in vestigated tho pauperism extended to the third generation on the father's sido, in uino-ty-two cases oil tho mother's sido to the third generation 307 had pauper fathers; 12C1 had pauper mothers, und so on. "Wherever," says Professor Brewer, this line- of investiga tion is pursued wo havo tho samo evidence of u tribe well established amoug us, and perpetu ating its instincts iu its descendants. l'MU. dctjihia Ledger, For a Nice Shirt go to Lowenberg's.
