thtrc is n dead-lock on the question of tax
rate. 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

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.

the state. He then puts down the name,

ment is read, and the sleek young man
ftsks tho individual to sign the report, which

A Wife's Si ght to HoldPropcrt against Her
Hussaaa s Creditors.
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.

We reprint tho following from tho Rc-

PURSEL. Ou tho 15th of March. 1885.
nt the house of his uncle, Dr. Willlts, Wil
liamsport. Pa.. Dr. J. K. Purscl. 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

consummation. Occasionally nn article

It was reported that Amandin Fritz of

A novel und convenient arrangement is
tho connection of nearly the wholo town of
Cambra by telephone. From tho residence
of Clark Callander Esq.. may bo seen a
wire connecting It with his mills at Pine
Cicck a mllo nnd a half distant, connecting
with it the residence of Stmt Stevens mid
way between. Mr. Callander's residence Is
also connected with tho stores nnd Dr.
Davidson's residence Ho can converse
with almost every parson In town without
leaving Ids house. We never saw so much

bra Is the Western tcrmluus of tho line
connecting the towns of Shtckshlnny,
Towullnc, Harvcyvlllo, Hublervlllc, Wut
crton, Townhlll and New Columbus. Tho
line should extend to Benton, thence to
Orangevllle. We frequently hear Cambra
people talking with persons at Wilkcsbarro
and Bloomsburg.
A solemn and touching scene was tho ad
ministration of the Rito of Holy Baptism,
by tlio Rev. O. V. Savage, at Hamiln
church on last Sunday, after morning scr-
vices, to a company of eight young ladies
and two gentlemen. Tinly encouraging to
a community and laudable to tho young
people when such a goodly number cspouso
the causo of Christianity.
