The dwelling of Abe Fullmer of Benton was consumed by flro on Wednesday night of last week. Tho lire originated from a defective Hue. Tho household effects were nearly all saved. The loss is partially cov- ercd by Insurance. Bendcrtown was a scene of confusion and activity on last Thursday, caused by the arrival of two movlngs, viz : Alfred Gibbons and Ell Pcaler. Tho former mov ed from Benton and will engage in the mcr cantile business ; and tho latter moved from Pealcrtown, or Forks, P.O., uway from the malarial effects of the locality and stream, and busy farm life, to enjoy a moro healthy location. He lias poor health. Winter slipped and fell from the lap ot Spring last Friday and broke his back "ga slap." Buben Gibbons kept nearest the warm stove tilts winter than ever in his lift) be fore. He is creeping along in ngo pretty lively. He is upwards of 72 years. William Ipher complained of a cold sometime ago, which was all around him, but had not seized upon his mortal system. It Is gone, and It Is not at all likely that he will catch it now. The Rev. T. II. Tubbs was awarded the Buckhorn charge by the M. E. Conference. We are glad that his health improved suf flclently to cngago in the calling of his choice, but nro sorry to lose him as a neigh bor. While he has not had the advantages of a colleglato course, or academic educa tion, he nevertheless ranks with the nver age preacher, and is an exemplary mau. The Rev. G. V. Savage is very much af flicted with rheumatism, and part of the time unable to fill his appointments. We thought Benton was ahead, but Llghtstreet has tho largest lien's egg. Ipher drew tho measure too tightly. We believe It was larger. Try again William. Tlie Law of tlie Itoncl. A ca30 was carried to Supremo Court a few days ago to recover damages for in. juries Inflicted by a collision of wagons. Judgo Blddlo gave tho following exposition of tho law of the road : 'Thero Is no rulo of law which requires a traveller to drive over any particular part of a public highway. Ho can drlvo over the middle or on either side, no matter in what direction he may he going. What Is called tho 'law of tho road' Is that persons meeting on the highway must each keep to the right. This rulo Is modified in the case of a footman or horseman, who can not compel a teamster with a heavy load to turn out of .tho beaten track, or even a light wagon with a heavy draught. In thoso cases, if tho horseman or light vc. hide can pas3 with safety ou tho left of a heavily-laden team It is their duty to glvo way and lcavo tho 'choico to the more un wieldy vehicle. Travellers naturally keep as near as they can to the right side of a highway, not because of any legal obllga. tlon to do so, but because they aro then In a position to rcqulro any ono meeting them to turn out. They may travel on the left side If they please, but then, It they are met by a person driving In an opposlto di rection, they must turn out. Tho obllga- tlon Is not to keep to any particular part of tho highway, but simply to turn to tho right whet) others meet them." After citing tho refusal of Chief Justlco Gibson to allow tho established law ot tho road to be modified by any parole ovldenco of local rules and custom, tho judgo continues "In the present caso the defendant was on the left hand side of tho highway, with room between him and tho curb for a car. rlago coming In tho opposlto direction to pass him, It thu driver of It kept to the right. Tho plaintiff, coining from tho op poslto direction, had a right of way on the railway track, but instead of keeping on that track ho straddled ono of tho rails, having thus but one wheel on tho track, it was his duty to follow tho 'law of the road,' which regulated tho conduct of thoso not driving on the tinck. Instead ot keeping to tho right of the carriage up proarhlng him, ho kept to tho left, and his right wheel cams in contact with tho dc- fendant's right wheel. Ho was violating himself tho 'law of the road,' The Jury having under these Instructions as tho law ot tho caso found the defendant guilty ot uo negligence, gave a verdict In his favor, This verdict we sco no reason to disturb, Tho motion for u uow trial Is dismissed. Crime ami iMsli. An organization under tho name of tho Game nnd Fish Prottctlvo Association of Central Pennsylvania wns recently orgam Izcd In Hnrrisburg with eighty charter members, nnd headquarters nt 817 North Third street. Its object Is tho preservation, protection nnd Incrcaso ot edible game and fish In Pennsylvania, tho enforcement of the laws concerning the Bamo nud to In- crease tho Interest In gunning nnd fishing. Any gentleman can become a member rocs $1,00, nnd dues 25 cents per month. A resolution was passed nt a regular meet ing tlio other evening to tho effect that a reward of $25.00 would bo paid to any per. son who would Inform the said organlza- tlon nt the fact that any person had been guilty of violating any of the game and llsh laws of this Commonwealth, the re ward to bo paid Immediately nfter couvle tlon of tho offender.

His restaurant license runs until Mny, but docs not glvo him authority to sell in tlio new place. An application was mado by How. ard Klcckucr to the Court to grant him n license, for the Glrton saloon for the month Intervening between GIrton's rcmovnl and the expiration of his license. Objections being raised, tho case was heard by the Court last Saturday, a number of witnesses being examined. In disposing of tho case, all tho judges present, tho Court said i Upon the best consldcratlou that the Court cm give to tills case, and In the ex ercise of that discretion Intrusted to us by law, we have concluded to reject this ap plication. The statute forbids underletting a licen sed place. The evidence hero shows that thu applicant has beeu conducting a sa loon (In Espy) under a hotel llccusc,havlng an agreement to divide the profits with the landlord. We look upon this as virtually a violation of the, statute. It has been well said by counsel that the Court makes no contract or prcarrangc ment with anybody in reference to a li cense. Without deciding any questions ns to this house, wo are unanimously of opinion that, under all tho circumstances shown, wo ought not now to grant tho prayer of this petitioner." Council l'roccedliiKH. An adjourned meeting ot tho council was held on Thursday evening of last week. Ml members present except Sharplcss. The annual statement of tho town of Bloomsburg was read and approved. On motion the Secretary was Instructed to record the statement in the minute hook nnd to havu it published. As the council was about ready to ad journ, the President gavu the following address : Gentlemen of the I1loohsdui:u Council: Our official year as council men is about to close. The statement set out by the auditors show what we have done with the people's money. Thcro It can bo seen we borrowed $3000.00 and It also shows that $8,105.82 of old debts were paid, but still leaves outstanding orders for $2,000.91. Last spring I recommended tho borrowing of $0000.00 and the laying of a 12 mill tax, that would have made about $2,500.00 and would have left us In better condition than to havo so much floating debt. The main out-let sewer that was com menced by our predecessors 13 finished and in good working order. Public places such as the Normal School, Court House, Jail, Exchange Hotel, and the Sanitarium besides a number of private residences are connected. The convenience as well as tho sanitary condition of thoso places are very much Improved. Tlio street com missloner did excellent work in putting It through. Tho constablo and police force have faithfully discharged their duty and are en titled to tho thanks of this council as well as of all good citizens. Society has been greatly relieved of a two-fold nuisauce street broils and tramps. The fire department of our town is com posed of live and energetic men, as llioir alacrity to respond to flro alarm fully shows. They deserve special notice. Vol- unteers for tho protection of property, without expectation of any pecuniary aid cannot bo too highly appreciated by every one. I think wo all have performed our duty conscientiously for tho welfare of our con stituents. Committee on iiuIcn, At the Democratic county convention last year the following resolution was adopted : "Resolved, That C. G. Barklcy, J. C. Yo- cum, li. 1'. Fruit, Isaiah Dower and Hour MoIIcnry be and the same aro hereby con. stltutcd nud nppolutcd a commltteu to re vise "Tho Rules of Nomination of tho Democratic Parly of Columbia County," and that they report to tho Chairman of tho Standing Commltteu on or before tho first day of April, 1885, and that tho said Chairman call a special convention on or before tho first Tuesday of June, 1835, for the purpose of taking such notion upon tho report of said commlttco ns may then bo deemed expedient and proper." This resolution was passed just before the convention adjourned, and but little at tentlon was paid to it. A question arises as to whether, under tho present rules, a special convention can tako any action iu tho matter of changing tho rules. Chap tcr S, Sco. 1, reads as follows i "These rules or any one or moro of them may bo altered, amended, or rescinded at any regular convention, by a voto of two-thirds of tho whole number of delegates to tho convention." Tho object of tho resolution, no doubt was to secure tho adoption of a now set of rules that could go into effect beforo the delegato election of lids year. We believe it Is impossible to accomplish this result, All that could be donf at a special conven tion would bo to recommend tho report of tho committeo to the regular convention in July, and the delegato election and tho convention must bo conducted under the old rules. The committee should meet nnd decide whether nny changes In the rules aro de. slrable, and preparo its report i but it would seem useless and idle to 'call a spec ial convention that has no authority to act upon tho report ot tho committee. Let tho report bo mado to the regular convention, Ceiitrallu. During Idlo times, and favorable weather tho young men ot town mako a piactlco ot boarding coal and freight trains passlug through tho borough, and rldo to Shenan doah, for pleasure, On Thursday last an unusually large number were bound for the latter place on a coal truin, when offi cer Krelgcr, ot tho Coal & Iron police forco, arrested eight ot them and compel led each to pay a Hue of $5.00 and costs, Several wero arrested on Saturday for tho samo cause.

A travelling band of musicians treated tho pcoplo of town to some very flno music on Saturday evening. Miss Purccll, teacher of the Primary School, Is confined to the house with a severe attack of sickness. Tho work of completing tho new slope nt Centralla colliery terminated this wcok. Tho new cnglno house In course of erec tion will be ready In a tow days, and tho hoisting of coal from tho slope will be com menced at once. A barber shop has been opened by Mr. Lclpsey, In Frock's Patch. The services In tho variuus churches were of a very interesting nature on Sun day last. In tho Catholic church the dls. trlbutlon of tho palm took placo Immedi ately after tho morning services. Humor reported that the Continental colliery would resumo operations on the first of the month, but from present Indica tions tho colliery will remain Idle for some tlmo to come. All the mules wero shipped to Willies Barrc on Monday, which Is a sure sign of n long suspension. The now gangways In tho slope have gono Into nn- other fault. This is bad news for Centra, lln, as tho mlno employed about 000 hands. The Western fever has taken a firm hold on our young men. This week Henry Jennings, Matthew Klllccn, Michael Row an and John Connor left for different parts of tho West. Ernest Batton nnd John Williams re turned to town on Saturday, after spending the winter In Florida. Tho night police forco arrested two young men Saturday evening for disorderly conduct. iVnothcr Instance of tho danger of care lessly handling a gun occurred In town on Monday. Charles Dawes, while waiting for tho signal to shoot at a target, rested tho gun on his arm. He thoughtlessly pulled the trigger, shooting Thomas Borau who was standing within two feet of him, n the hip. Tho ball has been extracted, and Mr. Bornn doing us well ns can be ex. peeled. Supt. A. S. Brown housed n beautiful upright piano on Tuesday. Tlio collieries resumed work on Wednes day, to work about half of tho month. lluckliom. Last Thursday John Thomas purchased fine-looking four-year-old for $118, at Christopher Kustcr's sale, which Is consld- ered cheap. There wero many other bar gains made that day. Some one has said : If a man wants to havo n good sale he must cither die or go West." That seems to be the truth. Owing to storm on Friday evening last the Patrons of Husbandry did not meet, but a full meeting Is expected on Friday evening next. Rev. Stevens sold his driving horse to Peter Bruglcr of Bloomsburg, on Satur day last. Rev. Sharretts received fourteen young people as members of tho Lutheran Church on Sunday nfternoou last. Fred B. Hartmau of Bloomsburg, moved his goods to this place on Monday of this week. To-day (Tuesday) Jacob Harris and Wel lington Crossley changed their residences. To-morrow Hudson Glrton moves on B. F. Zarr's farm nbovo Bloom. A story is being circulated, which indi cates that another of our maidens will shortly place a white feather in tho oppo site corner of her hnt, and hook in tho arm of a walking broadcloth by the rite of matrimony. And whom do you suppose It to be ? No. Guess again. This week John Ilodgo will take up his residence near Northumberland, with n truck farmer. The leading topic among farmers' wives is the New Process Hour. Some few have met with success, whllo others have failed to havo their usual good bread. Tho New Process Hour and Old Process baking will not work well, but n new way of baking must bo discovered for the new flour. It makes good tasted bread, but my wifo says I dare not change nny more of my wheat for that stuff. Try once more be fore you condemn, bakers. Emery Reeder will close the Valley School Friday afternoon next. A good tlmo is hoped for by all. Our farmers are busily engaged prcpar. Ing their Summer wood, which Is a very interesting game. We presumo all the old April Fool stor- ies of tho past will again receive their an nual rehearsal, and lots of now ones per petrated. Easter is being much talked of by the llttlo ones, and they aro hiding eggs for tho occasion. Parties who invest In Easter cards, and desire to bo suited In stylo and price, should not fail to cxamino the stock at the Columbian store. Late reports say wo will havo a new mall carrier on the routo after July 1st. We havo not yet learned his name. Ono ot our llttlo boys over hero says an other certain bigger boy can't go with his Bister any moro, nnd gives for Ills reason that ho goes every night in the week now, and ho would like to know how ho could go nny more.

Editors : I noticed an article In the Columhian somo tlmo ago taking sliong grounds against politicians electioneering Hint Is, going from houso to houso begging votes. I was very mucli pleased with the manly course the Columihan took In this matter. Now, who nro the ones really benefitted by candidates traveling the county from house to house j we answer, tho hotel keepers aro tho ones most benefitted. It Is expected when candidates mako their can vass that money bo left nt the hotels. 1 they don't lenvo money or spend freely they nro considered tight-fisted, and off goes their head. If they spend freely nnd lcavo somo money they are considered good, clover fellows, and on election day every "bummer" and "sucker" who loafs around hotels will walk up and vote for tho man that treats him last. The ones not benefitted aro the tillers of the soil and tlio laborer. Often candidates come to your house. Of course you have to be sent for, you como through the scorching rays of tho sun a hnlf mile, you find seated In the parlor In the shade, the candidate, to receive you j ho tells you a good story, then you can go back to your work not much benefitted, hut a little disgusted. It does seem to mo if nil this going over tho county to get votes wero broken up It would be a real reform in tho political world. My idea Is, all who want to bo candidates announce their names Iu the county papers and all stay nt home and let the people decide tho matter. The candi dates will not bo nbuscd, as they usually are and some monoy saved bv them. It would be n fair expression of the people I think if this rule were adopted. It would be better for all concerned. Once moro after a lapse of twcnly.four years the Democracy holds the reins to steer the ship.

Disordered kidneys have tho uutortunatc cfTcct also of weakening tho vigor of tho liver, ns Indicated If one has, besides the above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat covered eye-balls, frontal hcadacho after eating, burning nnd itching skin, cold cx- trcmctlcs, hot head, bad circulation of blood, sink headache, nausea, light colored evacuations, constipation, plks, variable uppetltc and feelings, dizziness, blurred eyesight, liver-cough, ague, chills, fevers, wakcfulncfs at night, drowsiness by day, etc. These are somo of the commoner symp toms as laid down by leading medical au tlioritlcs, and witli them In view one ought not to have much trouble in ascertaining if ho is suffering from disorders of these great organs. These observations have been called forth by a double-column article which appears Iu another placo in this paper. Skeptical of somo of the statements mado therein, and at other times by the same persons, we havo been led to make a little study of the matter ourselves, with the abovo result. These diseases prevail amongst young and old everywhere, resulting in terrible nnd untimely deaths ; they take off more peo plo than epidemics ; physicians report death as occurring from such diseases as apoplexy, paralysis, convulsions, heart disease, pneumonia, fovers, etc., when in reality these 'disorders aro often secondary i to Bright's disease and would seldom occur were the kidneys In healthy working con dition. Hence, from personal knowledge, or from tho trustworthy experience of other competent judges, wo believe thero is no preparation equal to the remedy that is so prominently mentioned clsewhero in this issue, for preventing and kcurlng tho dan gerous disorders of which we have written. It has had an extraordinary sale, Is every where commended, the record of its work seems Indisputable, its manufacturers nro reputed to be men of the highest standing. Wo hold, therefore, that not to uso It, If needed, would be n crime against one's suprcmcst interest, especially at this time when, threatened by a fearful epidemic, it is of the highest Importance, according to Dr. Koch, tho celebrated German cholera specialist, that we keep tho kidneys, liver aud digestive organs in healthy actiou, it the scourage would bo escaped.

It is a most important question amongst scientific men who causes the general feeling of de bllity and lnssltude so prevalent In this re gion, wiiuc somo regard it as tna result of confinement and inaction, others sup. pose it to be caused by tlie decay of vege table and animal debris which has accumu lated during the winter.
