At the regular meeting of the Blooms

the following resolution, viz :
Renolved : That the meaning of the rcsolu
tlons passed by tho Water Company at

Arc protection was and is. that if the town
council would offer to apply to the Court
to have the price fixed, und with that end
in view would request the Water Company
to repair the fire plugs and furnish imme
diate Arc protection, the Water Compan;
would comply witli such request, or wit'
any other reasonable request that the
town council might make to enable them
to get the question of th price for tire
protection before the Court; aud having
made this oiler we feel that we have done
all that is necessary to free the Wutcr
Company from blame in case u lire should
occur In Bloomsburg while in Its present
helpless condition.

Tlic WlitottnM In Lock Haven.
On Friday of last week n dispatch was
received from Lock Haven Inviting the
members of tho Winona Fire Company to
participate In the celebration of the Fourth
of July In that city, The Invitation was
accepted, and on Monday afternoon twenty
seven of them left by way of Northumber
land, accompanied by the Bloomsburg
Cornet Band. Through the intluenco of
W. B. Poust nil tho necessary arrangements
were made for transportation, so thnt a
special car was assigned to tho party all
tho way through, and the Hoso carriage
was provided with a separate Hat. At
Willhunsport there wan a stop of about half
an hour, during which time the Capital City
Hand of Harrlsburg, which accompanied
the Paxton Firo Company of that city,
played a tuno on tho platform and were
followed by tho Bloomsburg Band, tho
latter receiving hearty applause. This little
tournament gavo our band encouragement,
nnd from that time on they never played
better In their lives. At Lock Haven the
party was met by Messrs. Fnncher, Brown,
and other members of the committee of
reception, and escorted to their head quar.
tcrs at tho Eagle Hotel. By tills tlmo rain
had commenced to fall and the prospects
for the patade on the Fourth were gloomy.
The rain continued all night, and most of
the time until noon next day, so that the
parade which was to have taken place nt
10 a. m. did not come off until 2 p. m. It
was an Imposing spectacle, there being nine
bands, nine Are companies, fantastics,
number of other organizations, wagons
representing the industries of the city,
carriages with city officials, &c. Tho tramp
through the mud was a hard one und the
route was cut short ou this account. At
one o'clock there was a meeting at the
Court House when the Mayor made an ml
dress of welcome to the visitors, but there
were none present but the bands nnd Are-
men from Bloomsburg and Rcnovo. After
supper the Winona boys with the band,
serenaded the Mayor, Judge Mayer, nnd
other prominent citizens, nil of whom made
very complimentary speeches. At eleven
o'clock nt night the party Btarted for home
reaching here Wednesday morning. Tho
Wiuonas were the guests of the Ex-Firemen
of Lock Huven, and were treated with the
greatest kindness nnd attention not only
by their hosts, hut by the citizens general
ly. The following comments are clipped
from the dully papers of July Cth.
"The Winona Hoso Compnny, No 8, of
Bloomsburg, guests of the Ex-Firemen,
were as line a set ot ccntleinen us ever pa.
rnded our streets, and the general remark
of tho public was. that with their gray ca.
det uniforms and gentlemanly deportment
they made the finest appearance in the
parade." ICrprus.
"The Winona hovs. of Bloomsburir, rep
resent the wealth and culture of the place
and behaved well while here. Their uui
forms cost about $211 each, and consist of a
whole suit ot gray, i lie ltlooinsburc liana
is looked upon as being one of the best in
the Interior." Journal.
This is what tho Brtalfatl Tallehat to say
"The Winona Firu Company aud Silver
Cornet Band of Bloomsburg passed through
this city on Monday intent, on their way to
Lock Haven. While waiting at the depot
the band discoursed some excellent musin
on the platform. It was conceded that the
Wlnouas and their band were superior to
any thing else in tno parade."
A Lock Haven correspondent ot the
Willlamsport San and Ranncr says :
"Honors arc showered thick and fast, so
far as praises iro at least, upon vour nsicli
bora of Bloomsburg for furnishing the best
band nnd best fire company of the occasion,
Their music and marching wero perfec t
throughout the day and their conduct was
at all times marked with propriety und gen
tiomiinl) (limcanor.
Our band received special attention and
wherever they appeared on the streets their
splendid music attracted largo crowds.
They were acknowledged by all unpreju
diced minds to bo the best band lu the pro-
cession.
All the boys enjoyed themselves. Every.
body was full of fun nnd mischief and
there was not a dull moment from the sturt
till ths return. "Prize fights" "Buttaliou pa.
rades," "Spectre danccB" and many other
amusing incidents occurred which would
not seem funny in cold type, but wero ex
trcmely laughable to behold. It was a trip
louir to he remembered, nnd the Winona
Firo Company ami Bloomsburg Band havo
won for themselves a high reputation in
Lock Haven for their fine music, gentle.
manly bearing nnd tho propriety with
which they conducted themselves through.
out. Some of the Wlnonas called ut tho
Mayor's oflice nnd enjoyed the Interview
exceedingly.

Ilnty oftlic Town Council.
Communicated.
The act of 1831, Hectlou 2, provides that
tho corporato ofllccrs shall havo power,
"To make regulations relative to tho cause
and management ot (Ires, nnd within
such limits within the borough ns they
may deem proper to prescribe ;
to appropriate money for the purchase of
firo engines, &c."
Tho law Incorporating tho town of
Bloomsburg, provides for three rates of
taxation; the highest rate for the built up
portion of the town, two thirds of tho
highest rate for tho suburban portion of
tho town and one half of the highest rato
for tho agricultural portion of tho town.
Tho built up portion of the town Is most
exposed to danger from tires, nnd nlso
pays the highest rata of taxation, and
hence Is entitled to such protection
against danger from fires as can reason
ably bo provided. When an Act of
Assembly gives corporato officers power to
do any act and to use tho public money
for Bticli purposes, It signifies thereby that
such Is their duty so far ns;ls reasonably
practicable. It might not be the duty of
the town council to build water works, or
go to like extraordinary expense to fur-
nlsh protection Bealnst fires, but whero
tho citizens of the town by a stock com
pany hare already Incurred such expense
for the sake of such protection und the
town authorities have once commenced to
nvall themselves thereof, it would bo a
clear neglect of duty on the part of tho
town council If for any private reason of
their own, they Bhould cause all protection
against fires to be cut off. Wc say for any
private reason of their own, because the
water company by a resolution have 6ffcr.
cd to do whatovcr the town council may
rensonnbly desire, to get the mnttcr before
tho Court of fixing the price for fire pro
tection, in case tho town council would
npply to tho Court. But the town council
nt n meeting called for the purpose have
refused cither to agreo with the water
company, or to apply to the Court to have
the price fixed. The public welfare there.
foro cannot be the real reason tor their
action. Their reasons are private, but so
far as the President of the council Is con.
corned his reasons nro generally under.
stood and publicly expressed. He cannot
trust tho Courts, Is ono of thorn. Ho got
justice once and cannot trust the courts
again. So wc have n case where notwith
standing nn nmplc firo protection already
provided In our town, it Is shut off by the
action of the town council ; and the town
in caso of a Arc is helplessly at tho mercy
of the flames without so much us a street
sprinkler tojlmul wntcr, or ft place to haul
It from. It Is a clear neglect of duty on
tho part of tho town council, and If per-
sistcd in It will sooner or later cause dam
:ige by fires. In such case would not tho
town be llablo to pay the damage ? Whar
ton on the Law of Negligence, page 1, de
fines negllgenco thus: "Negligence lathe
omission to do something which a reason
able mini, guided upon those considcra
tlons which ordinarily icgulntc the con
duct of human affairs, would do, or doing
something which a prudent and reasonable
man would not do."
It might be argued that the duty of the
town council to provide for protection
nguinst tires in this enso Is discretionary,
and they can do It or not, as they please.
So It might be nrgued that their duty to
'regulate the roads, streets, lanes, alleys,
courts, common sewers, foot walks, pave.
mcnts, &c," Is only discretionary, for the
act ot assembly Is the same in both cases ;
It gives them tho power, but In no place
does it expressly require them to exercise
that power. And there is no doubt but
the town would be lluble to pay damages
if they should neglect to repair bridges,
pavements, strcetB, &c, nnd horses or per.
sons should be injured in consequence of
such neglect. As the town council nro not
willing to come into court voluntarily to
have the price of fire protection fixed, there
may be a fine opportunity in case of a fire in
town to bring them into court against their
will.
OrniigcvUle Academy.
OraiiKCvllle, July 3 1883.
Mit. Editor. It was our privilege to
attend the commencement exercises of the
Orangcville Academy, which began on
Friday, June 30th, and wo thought a brief
account of them might not be uninteresting
to your readers.
Notwithstanding the blow which the
Academy sustained when the small pox
plague fell upon the town, and from which
It Is lust beginning to recover, there were
llireu members In tho graduating class. Th
final examinations were held on Friday
June SiOth and were conducted by n com.
mlttec which is appointed annually. Wi
were not present at the examinations, but
the chairman, -Mr. J. E. ltohins, reported
that the committee had examined the grad
anting class, and also their papers or pre
vlous examinations, and, while they found
a few errors, none of them were serious.
and that In the opinion of the committee
the members of the class could be graduat
cd with credit to the Institution.
On Friday evening Prof. W, H. Owen
Adjunct Professor of Oreek nt Lafayette
College, delivered the commencement ad
dress In the Union Church. His theme wns
"The Practical results of a Liberal Educa
tlon." Any extract or synopsis that wo
could give of It, or any comments that w
might make on it would not do it justice,
To be appreciated it must bo heard, nnd
we aro sure that all who heard it wero
highly gratified. Tho Trustees of the Acad
ciny have requested a copy of It for publl-1
cation.
The graduating exercises took placo on
Saturday morning, July Ut, nt 10 o'clock.
They were prefaced by "Anniversary Ex.
erclses" consisting of Music, Kecitatlons,
ami Declamations by tho members of the
lower classes, all of which were of a very
high order of merit, and gave evidence of
th fact that these branches arc receiving
their proper attention at tills Institution.
Tho first oration from tin. graduating class
was by Mr. Steward F. Custard of Strouds.
burg, Pa. His subject wus "Our Great
Men. "His oration showed maturity of
thought, and wns delivered with earnest,
ness aud force.
Mr. Frank I. Smith of Alhn, Pn,, follow.
cd with an oration on "llrlcks." It
abounded In wit and wisdom, nnd wa's
enjoyed by all who heard It. The last
orator was Mr. Dallas O, Orover, of Wap.
wallopen, Pn. Thu subject of Ids oration
was "Suckers." With keen satlro and
well chosen words he portrayed those who
go through life leaning upon some one
cite.
In tho afternoon at S o'clock the Alumni
Association held their meeting nt thu
resilience of the principal. A sumptuous
banquet followed, aud after relieving the
groaning tables of many of their rich viands,
the tin (Xmmwuwi, Mr. J. M. Frit of the
class of '70, called ou thu members to re.
spnnd to various toaets, and thu. afternoon
passed pleasantly away.
In the evening a literary treat was given
to the public In thu Union Church by Ihu
Alumni Association. The following was
thu programme i
" INVOCATION.

Thus passed tho fourth commencement
f tho Orangovllle Academy, and all who
are Interested In the institution have good
reason to feel proud of It. Twcnty-threo
persons in all havo been graduated from
the Academy during tho last five years.
Of these, one, Mr. W. Oman, has entered
