A LEASED LIVE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA I!Air-
IIOAI) SEEKING HEAVY DAMAUF.it.
The old contention between the Danville,
Ha7lcton nnd Wilkesbarre railroad com
pany and the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany, growing out of the lease of the form
er company to thu latter, in February, 1872,
resulted In the filing of the declaration of
suit Saturday. The declaration, after re
citing the lerms of the lease, alleges that
the Pennsylvania company failed to con
duct the road properly, nnd on the contrary
managed it in so careless and negligent a
manner that It became ruinous and unpro-
ductlve, that seventy-live per cent, more
than the proper amount was charged
against the leased road upon tho expenses
account, that there was a total failure to
meet the accruing Interest coupons, accord
ing to the terms of tho lease, and that tho
obligation to render just accounts was en
tirely disregarded. For these and a num
ber of minor grievances damages are asked
to thu amount of .jS.OOO.OOO. The case will
now bu pushed to a speedy trial.

Tho correspon

over tho heading of "Pinafore," is un
doubtedly meddling unnecessarily. All
the stock that Mr. Bobbins engaged was
for his own private use, and if any of his
customers have any doubt as to the relia
bility of the stock he Intends to deliver
them, they havo but to refer to James
Vlck, Bochester, N. Y. ; Oliver P. Boss &
Son, Penfleld, N. Y. ; nnd Henry Beck-
with, Brighton, N. Y., and he will find
that tho bulk of tho stock was bought of
those different parties, and if ho will call
ou the agent nt tho I). L. So W. station at
Bloomsburg ho will find that thu freight
was also paid mere lor tlio same, 'liio
gentleman holding thesu individual orders
lias a reputation abovo suspicion both in
lis own vicinity and county. Generally
wo havo no doubt he will till those orders
as stipulated on tho face of them nnd he
will nlso expect Ills customers to receive
their stock nnd settle for the same accord

selling stock for thu past two years for J.

I'lic Judicial Apportionment
Bloomshuko, March 27, 1883.
Editohs cp Columbian :
1 am Informed
that tho 'Judicial Apportionment bill now
pending in tho House nt Harrlsburg an
nexes Sullivan county to our Judicial dis
trict. Is this right or just to us? The
counties of Columbia and Montour have
now a population of nearly fifty thousand,
with large and flourishing towns, nnd n
large amount of legal business. There arc
many districts in the State with less than
(30,000 population, and it seems strange to
me that wc must be interfered with in the
apportionment. Aro not the people of
Columbia und Montour as worthy of re
I gnrd us other citizens of tlio State ? Our
legal business is now disposed of careful
ly and promptly ; our courts are arranged
for the conyenlenco of suitors and wit
nesses! legislative Interference at this
time nnd in this manner can only result In
injury to us. So think the members of
the bar of both counties, who have pro.
tested ngniust the proposed change, and
so think many of our citizens. Tlio Sul
livan Jlctlew has well said, "Tho rcputa
Hon of Judge Elwell for ability, integiity
and industry is well established ; he is a
learned and laborious judge." This wo
all know. He Is willing to do all the
work that his time will permit, but no
judge can do all the work of the district
with Sullivan added. The legal business
ft Hint r,i..,l.. t.. ..
" """"J" "'eic muu inu
opening of coalmines, the extension of
railroads, and tho largo tanneries and
lum-1
bcrlng establishments have mado a large
amount of business, which is rapidly in
creasing, l'our regular terms, of two
weeks each, are required in that county,
besides nrgumcnt courts and special cases,
xsow ami tnese to our business, and our
judge will have to hold twelve regular
terms of court, besides argument courts,
special cases and work at chambers. Thcro
is not ono judge in tho State now doing
that much work. But this is not all. The
location of Sullivan county Is such that
travel from Bloomsburg to Laporte Is no
small consideration. To go by rail to tho
nearest point to Laporte our judge must
go'by 'Wllkcsbarro nnd Townnda to Du-
shore j and thence by stage, ten miles, to
Laporte: being nearly, if not quite, 100
miles ; and requiring, ns public convey
nnces now run, two days to get there. It
is nearer over thu North Mountain, but
our citizens well know that Is a dllllcult
road to travel nt all seasons, and often Im
passable. It is the highest and most rug.
ged mountain In this part of tho State.
By way of Muney, there is, after leatlng
that place, 20 miles of bad roads. Eight
or ten journeys of this kind in ull seasons,
uml the holding of twelve regular terms,
with special cases nnd argument courts,
and work at chambers U enough to wear
out tho strongest judgo In tho stato In u
snort time. If the mate lias got so poor
that It cannot afford judicial districts
enough to havo justice properly iidnilnls
tercd, then let Sullivan county be attached
to Lycoming, but do not load it on to us.
A Citizkn.
Tho facts of the case are fully set forth
by our correspondent. Tho only point
that can bo urged In favor of abolishing
tho Sullivan and Wyoming dlrtrlct Is that
of economy. It Is claimed that eighty
thousand dollars would thus bo saved to
the State In ten years, but this would not
bo the case, for In a very few years tho busl
uess of thu district would require an as
slstantlaw judge. With Sullivan added
to us tho district would contain nearly
sixty thousand Inhabitants, and tho young.
est and strongest judge In the State could
not perform tho business of such a district,
wmi advantage to mo people, witu our
present district tho time of tho judge Is
almost constantly occupied, and with Sul
llvnn added the business of the three
counties must necessarily fall behind, It
Is not economy to put upon Judge Elwell
more work than is required of any other
judgu In the state, and we protest ngalnst
It, not simply from personal consideration,
but because the Interests of the publlo dc
in a ml that the courts bliould not bo so
overwhelmed with work ns to bo unable
to perforin their duties promptly unit care.
fully, The people of Columbia county do
not want Sullivan nttuched to It In the
judicial district, und tho people of Sullivan
do not want to bo attached. Why, then,
should tho Legislature force upon both
counties what they do not want?

Dr. Sliattuok :
Yours of 2Cth is nt
hand. I can speak of Prof. Hobbins'
system of harmony in tho highest
nraisc. Whether or not it can do
earned in fivo lessons depends upon
the ability ot tho pupil and one s
knowiedue of music.
Uno must givo close attention anil
thorough woik lo reach so great a
subject in a short time. I learned
