The gentleman referred to says lhat when n

wero killed by the shock, and ho was 'able to
pick Ibem up from the surface of tho water as
they floatod past his boat. The fact that tho
water is lower than usual, and lhat the bass lay

TIIE TOWN rUMP.
In the motion to continue the preliminary in
junction restraining ihe removal of the pump
In front of the Central Hotel, the Court re,
fused tho motion, and filed the following
OPINION.
If the pump in question was not In tho
highway, the agreement of 1811 between lot
owners, to sink a well at their joint expense on
the lot of ono of them would have been
valid, and an attempt by either to cause irre
parable damage, by Ihe filling rp of the well or
otherwise destroying its usefulness would be
good ground for the exerciro of the restraining
power of a Court of Equity. In that cae, the
question as to whether the defendant, I. S.
Ktihn, the now owner of the lot opposite to
which Iho well is located, was a purchaser for
value without notice would be material in de.
termining the rights of the parties. But if the
pump is placed in a public street, without au
thority of law, whether he bad notice of the
agreement of the lot owners or not at the
lime of his purchase is wholly immaterial, in
asmuch as he could not be bound to continue
the existence of an cbstruclion in ihe highway
prejudicial to the rights of the public.
The main slreet in the village of Blooms-.
burg, now called Second street, had become
highway before the sinking of tho well under
the agreement of 1811. The parlies to that
agreement knew the fact that a town had been
laid out, bounding lots on that street. Whcth
er it hud become a highway by dedication by
the owner of Ihe land in laying out a town
plot In 1801, or earlier, or whether It bad been
laid out by nulhoiity ol law does not appear.
Hut it does appear by the old map of the town
that the street is laid down on tbo plan and
that lot No. '15. cpposiie to which is tho
pump, bounds uiKin it on the north. It was rec
ognizidbylbe parties to tho agreement as e
highway, by agreeing lo sink a well therein,
calling it in that ngretuuni, "the main Btrettof
said town."
At that early nay no doubt a well thus lo,
cattd was a eonvenienre to Ihe ndjoinii g lot
owners and lo the neighbors; and fur all pur
poses of the case it may be considered that it
so continues to (be prccent time.
If it is in cnntimplntion of law n public nui
sance, the contract to erect il is id no binding
force, and its abate ment tnnnot bo retrained
because of ihe benefits It conftrsupon a portion
of the eiiizens Iu Commonwealth vs. McDon
ald 1C S, & R. 31)4, Judge Duncan uses the fol
lowing language: "The distinction between
public and private richls is quite ratural.
Every man must leok to his right; but In Ihe
case of public rights, where 110 individual hsi
piiur lighter interest disiimt from bis fel
lows, where lie (1111 bring no action for public
nuisance, acquiescence, silence goiafornnth
ing. No mini withes in such a case, to tingle
out himsilf and lo ho the acior against his
neighbor. lhat is, what is every one's con
cern Ik mi oin-'n coi cern, and ihereforo it i;
that length of time is no answer to a public
prosecution for a public injury, as It wisely Is
to a civil action fur a civil right."
"Unless where there Is a limitation lo prose.
culions by ttalute there Is no limit." The doc
trine of that case was fully reasserted andcon
currod in by Ihe Court In Rung vs. Shoneber.

ent with the dedication lo Ihe public and had
continued time out of mind, the party claiming
the benefit of the encroachment might put bis
title on the grourd of prescription. But where
ihe evidence establishes (bat the highway ex
iued beforo the obstruction was placed lu it, and
fixes with certainly a time subsequent to
which Ihe obstruction was first created, the
doctrine in regaid lu prescriptive rights has no
application,
The continuance of a nuisance is tho erec
tion of a new nuisance. A nuisance whether
public or private muy be abated by the party

At ihe timu when the well In question was

municiptl authorities had the right In regulate
the foot walks In the Town of Bloombnrg.
s regulated, the pmnp In question lands In
the wslk equally distant from tho curb nnd
from the steM leading Into tho house opposite,
bo lhat tho fool walk lustead of boing twelve
feet wido Is nl that point In fact but four fcot
ide. That a pump a foot square, with a
andlo and sout protruding, In the central
part of Ihe main street of a town, where, on
occasions, hundreds of people pass and repass
by night and by day, works hurt and Inconve
nience to the public, admits of no demonslrt-
tlou beyond tbtfmcro statement of tho facts.
If one citizen has a right to erect or main-
tan a pump in a side walk, nil haro n right,
and If exercised, the ordinance declaring the
id tlx of Ihe sldownlk would become a nullity.
It Is argued that the complainants are entitled
to' be compensated for tho damages they will
sustain by the removal of the pump, before it
can be legally removed. If they had rights
there superior to tbo rights of Ihe public, this
would be correct. But Inasmuch as the occu
pancy of the street by Ihe lot owners was al
ways In subordination to Ihe rights of the pub
lic, and by mere sufferance, ihoy havo no claim
which will prevent the pubho from resuming
full possession of that lo which it has all along
been entitled.
An injunction preliminary to a final hear
ing ought not (o be granted except in a clear
cao, it right to prevent Irreparable damage
here there is no adequato remedy at law, or
to prevent multiplicity of actions. In this
cise, if these lot owners havo a right to such a
well iu front of their premises, they can obtain
water at no considerable expense, And If a
wrong is committed by tho defendants in ibe
actof removing the pump, redress can be bad
a single action nt law. Equity will not
grant au injunction whoro Ihe injury sustained
reason of tho Injunction will bo equal to
that sustained by the complainant if the injunc
tion is refused.
I am of opinion in this case, that the damage
to the defendants by permitting tho pump to
remain, will bo equal to that sustained by either
of tho complainants if ll is removed. And as
at present advised, I am ol opinion that both
complainants and tlofeudants render themselves
liable to prosecution by the continuance of a
public nuisance.
By refusing to continue the injunction, wo
do no more than to refuse to Interfere by the
strong nrm of Ibe law, but lcavo the parties
to their redress at law where their rights can
be determined without interfering with those
of the public. It is said that to doubt the pro
priety of granting a preliminary injunction is
to determine against issuing It. I do not think
this case eo clear in favor of the complainants
03 to justify the continuance of tho injunction
heretofore granted.;
And now, September 25, 1881,lho question of
tho continuance of the Injunction haying boen
argued by counsel, upon due consideration
theroof, the further continuanco is refused and
tho injunction is dissolved.

THE CONVOCATION,
The Convocation of Willlamsport mot in
St. Paul's church, Bloomsbui g, on Tuesday
evening the 27th Inst., and continued its sos
sions until the eveuing of Wednesday, the
28th. Tho followlog clergymen wero in at
tendance: Rev. J. H. Black, Dean, Wil
liamsport; Rev. J. H. Hopkins, S. T. D.,
Williainspon: Rev J. F. Clere, D. D.,
Philipsburg; Rev. John Loudon, Lawrence
ville; Rov. J. Rockwell, Benton; Rev. O. E
Fessentlen, Catawissa; Rev. F. D. Canfield,
Muncy; Rov. J. E. Dobson, William9port;
Rev. En oa, Bnlsley, Muncy, and tbo Rector,
Rev. L. Zalmer.
Tho servio on Tuesday evening consisted
of evening prayer with a most able sermon
oil the parablea of the MustordSeed and the
Leaven, by the Rev. Dr. Hopkins.
On Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, a
business meeting was held, at which reports
of committees were presented, officers elect
ed for the ensuing yrar, nnd tbo preachers
and essayist appointed for the next meeting
Lock Haven was chosen oh tho place nud
January 10th, 1882, as the time of the next
meeting. The Convocation then adjourned
for divine service At half past ten o'clock
This service consisted of tbo Holy Com
munion nnd a sermon on tho "Unity of the
Church", by the Kev. John Loudon.
In the afternoon at three o'clock, a dis
cnasion was held on the "Revised New Tf
tamcnt, the leuuing part in which was
taken by the Rev, Dr. Hopkins, who thought
the new in many respects better than th
old, th eu li not peibaps destined to be uni
versally received. He mado the point that
the Church of England w.n tiie Keeper of
Holy Writ more tbau any either, as the old
version was ber work under King Juinri
tim First, anil the movement for a revised
veision wat- initialed aud earned to a suc-
cesiful completion under her supei virion
and control.
On We-dnesday evening utboven o'clock ;i
mkblnnary meeting was held with reports
from missionaries aud missionary nddrestsis.
This Convocation is one of tho largest in
the Diocoe of Ceutial Pennsylvania, under
the jurisdiction of Bibhop Howe. It erabra
cus tho following ten comities: Lycoming,
Clinton, Centre, Tioga, Potter, Northumber
land, Monlour, Columbia, Union and Sny-
dei. Theie are tbreo other Convocations iu
Bishop Howe's Diocese mimed respectively,
the Rending, the Iiarrlsburg aud the North
IJiiHtern, "The clergy resident in each of
these districts who arc entitled to Kiatsatul
votes iu the Dioresan Convention, together
with one Lay delegate from each Parish,
Hhall eonstittite and bo fi Convocation there
in." Tho promotion of missionary work
and of church extension within its own
bounds, is the chief object of each Convo
cation, Besides this, tne triennial meetings
of these bodies are held lu high estimation
by the clergy as affording a short relief from
tho routine of parish work and giving op
portunity for the interchange of thought and
for the foinungof closer lies of friendship
among themselves, mho psrlelies in which
the meetings are held are alo sought to be
benefitted by creating more general interest
(q tbe Church. Parishes as woll as Individ
uals aro disposed to be eel fish; and it is to
enlargo the parochial vision by letting tbe
people know something of the Church be
yond the limits of their own parish, that
the Convocation exists. It creates a sister
hood of parishes and thus by a community
of zeal nud interest, of thought and feeling,
advances tho growth and strength of the gen
eral church.
Convocations th us become embryo dioceses
and are erected into separate diocesan juris
dictions, whenever they become numerically
and Uuauclally strong enough to bo bepa-
rateei iroin mu parent uioceso. There la a
movement on foot at present tor the divlt
