There wns a vote taken ou 13 mills, 15 mills, 0 mills and 10 mills, but no rato was agreed upon. The necessities of the town demand a pretty high rate, and as the lndebtednes mti9t be paid some lime, a sufficient tax should bo laid to keep down the Hosting debt at lensl. Thero Is no economy in making a low tax, and then Is suing bonds nt the end of the year to cover the Increased indebtedness. The situation at Plymouth Is not encour- uglng.

Ills a matter often published, but not generally understood by tho public, that a newspaper sent to any address and taken out of tho ofilec by the person named, or any one for him, renders him liable for tho price of the paper, even If ho never ordered it to jc sent. The only sate way, where a paper u sent without orders, Is to decline to take It from the ofilec, nnd direct tho post master to notify the publisher that tho paper Is not lifted. When one has been taking a paper, however, It cannot bo stop ped in this way until all arrearages uro paid. The Impropriety of trying law cases by public gossip, instead of remitting them to the legally constituted courts, was recent ly illustrated In Lycoming county. A man named Huggler was committed for cruel treatment to a child, and at tho tlmo pub lic sentiment wns so strongly against him that there wat great fear of thu adminis tration of bodily injury through lynching. At the icccnt trial the charge was proven maliciously false, tho caso abandoned by the district attorney and tho jury charged by tho Court to return a verdict of not guilty, which they did without leaving tho box. It would be better if public sentiment In all eases were tempered to await the Im partial evidence of tho truth as elicited through lawful methods. JcrHey town.

Chief Justice Mcrcur, of the Supremo Court, has handed down nn opinion in tho case of Sober vs. Standart, which camo up on a writ of error to tho judgment of tho Common Pleas of Northumberland County. The fncls of the caso wero briefly as fol lows : On August 0, 1879, judgment was entered against Isaac J. Sober In favor of Charles Standart for $232.90. There were several judgments nhend of Standart's, In cluding one entered against Sober In favor of his wife, Abigail Sober. In 1878 Bober's farm was sold under n judgment prior to both that of Mrs. Sober and that of Standart. Tho farm was bought m by the prior judgment creditors, and was sold to .Mrs. Sober for a nominal consideration of $2000. Tho wholo pur chase money wns secured by a mortgage signed by Mr. nnd Mrs. Sober. Standart Immediately levied upon tho wheat, hay and potatoes upon the farm, as the proper erty ot Mr. Sober. The lattcr's wifu claim, ed that theso products wero hers, and pointed to the sale. Judge Hockafellar, of tho lower court, however, held that tho sale was void as against creditors. Tho decision Is endorsed by tho Chief Justice's opinion. He holds that tho true Intent of the act nf 1848 Is to preserve to a wife and to protect her in the uso and en joyment of her bona fido scparato estate ; but not to enable her to defraud the credi tors of her husband. In the present caso the wife had no separate estate on which a credit could bo based. Tho purchaso wna solely on tho personal credit of herself and her husband, and it cannot bo sus. tnlned. The judgment is affirmed. HInlitowii. Farmers arc busily engaged planting their corn and potntocs. Vegetation Is springing forth benutlfully tho last two or three days. M. E.

In the 28th year of his age. Viis cannot permit the above notice to pass without adding a tribute to ono whom wo esteemed and loved ns a brother. Dr. Purscl hail' lived and practiced his profes sion iu Rcnovo about five years, nnd In that short time he could count his friends by tho hundred. Even people who did not employ him as a physician, respected him as a man. He was possessed of 'every quality which we lovo most to sco in a friend: To n most unselfish nature was added a consideration and thouehtfulucss of others that Is rarely seen In human na- turo so strongly developed. To those of us who havo watched him develop from a' ncwiy-flcdged physician to a thorough practitioner thoroughly, equipped nnd ready at any and all times to relieve fciilTer ing humanity, thoroughly Impressed with and devoted to the duties aud responsibil ities of his life, retaining still the same happy disposition and gonial manners of his early life, ho had endeared himself to us in so many ways that now a void is left that never can be filled ; but he has left in our hearts a deep nnd lasting love, and al though helms passed beyond tho rrnch ot our love and devotion he will still llvo In pu'r'rnemorles until time Is' no more: 'Dr. Purscl died a Christian. A visit by tho writer to him just thu day before he died convinced us that ho was ready and wil ling to die if the good Lord so willed. He was at peace with all the world, and died in the blessed hope of a llfu hereafter fice frgrj) care nnd suffering He was a closo sttldefil'oriiuman'uaturo nnd entered into cdinpletcTfiyrapathy.'wItirhU patients.

But ho has at last solved the problem of life, and death and immortality, nnd wo all know full well that while "Cold In tho dust- tho cherished heart roayj'e,' ' i r , Tlio soul that warmed It once will never die."
