Co. occupying two days of court this week resulted In a vol untary nonsuit on motion of the plaintiff, the court having indicated that they would take the case from the jury. The plaintiff was injured at Blnghampton N. Y. by having his hand crushed when coupling cars, alleging that ho stumbled on a draw head negligently left In the way. Tho do fendant contended that plaintiff was not in its employ, and even if ho was, ho could not recover because the negligence was that of a fellow-servant. The court accept ed this view of It, and plaintiff's .counsel took n nonsuit. Messrs. Rhawn, Boblson and Ikelcr were counsel for plaintiff, and E. N. Millard of Scrnnton nnd Geo. E. Elwell for defendant. The soldiers desiring a license to peddle must, undirtho recent Act of Assembly, file an application with the Prothonotary of the Court setting forth that he is unablo to procure a livelihood by manual labor and is desirous of procuring license to ped dle, finder the Act of Assembly of April 8, 1887 entitled: "An act to permit disabled soldiers to pcddlo by procuring a licenso therefor, and, also, that he Is the bona fide owner of all the goods, wares and mer chandise which ho proposes to hawk, ped die or vend, and that he will not engage to sell the same for any other person what ever." It Is then required that he be ex amincd by n United States surgeon, tho re suit of which, together with his discharge from service, must be filed with the Pro thonotary, and at the next sitting of the court thereafter his application will be passed upon by the Judge.

Tho editor of tho Sentinel last week, as usual, attempted to misconstrue tho action of the grand jury wheu it said: "Beforo adjournment, a voto was taken as to whether Prothonotary Bnyder should have a second term, but it failed to carry." Now theso are tho facts, tho general busi ness having been transacted it was moved by a member of tho jury at his own in stance, and possibly being a warm friend of Mr. Snyder, that a vote bo taken for prothonotary. The following letter sent us shows tho result of tho vote taken: Messrs. Editors: Tho article. In last week's Sentinel In regard to tho Grand Jury voting on tho Prothonotary question is not true.

A largo crowd guthercd at tho Opera Houso last Monday, both afternoon and evening, to witness tho closing exercises of tho public schools of Bloomsburg. The exercises of tho nfternoon were given by all the schools, with the exception of the High School. At ubout half-pist twelve o'clock tho scholars assembled at their re spective schools and marched to the Opera House. Tlio afternoon exercises passed off very well and showed great zeal and inter est their preparation, both on the part of teachers and pupils. Mcthercll's orchestra rendered the overture In very pleasing style, and the other music of the afternoon was well rendered. For tho evening a very interesting pro. gram had been prepared, and was well carried out by tho scholars of the High School of Bloomsburg. Long before eight o'clock, at which time the entertainment began, the houso was filled with people, and they continued to come, until there was scarcely standing room left. At eight o'clock Superintendent Grimes, Principal Bcckley and tho Pchool Directors of Bloomsburg tiled upon tho stage, and the exercises wero opened. Tho opening and closing choruses and all tho music of tho evening was well given. A duet, sung by Eflio Hartmnn and Ed.

The dramas were well acted,and altogether tho wholo entertainment passed off very creditably Indeed. Indeed tho exercises of this year are among the best school exercises wo havo over had tho pleasure of witnessing.

Last Thursday another mine disaster oc curred at Swoyer's Hill, near Plainsvillc, that cost ono human life and endangered two others. In some manner a large quantity of gas took lire, and an awful ex plosion took place, that caused great dam. age and consternation. Several wero near by when the explosion took place, and wero all knocked down. A rescuing party at once set to work, and, succeeded by proceeding cautiously in reaching tho scene of the explosion, where they found tho bodies of thrco men pros trate on tho ground. Tho men wcri quickly removed to a place of safety and afterwards taken to the surface. Ono of tho thrco was dead, and tho other two wero injured seriously. They wero all badly burned and tho dead man was somewhat disfigured. Tho dead man was James Munley, n miner living at Swoyer's Hill. He was married and tho father of seven children. The body was taken hemo and a fad sccno ensued. Tho Injured men wero also taken to their homes and placed under physl clans' caro. Few Pkoi-le Esoai-e the taint of scrofula lu tho blood.

Tho season has come, remarks on ex change, when tho rural population revels in tlio pleasure of tho circus. But It looks very much as though this Spring's cron of clowns nnd trick mules would bo very short. Tho Intcr-stnto Commcrco law has had a depressing effect on tho circus In dustry. This Is unfortunate Tho deca dence of tho circus would bo a national calamity. When tho elephant no longer stalks about tho ring nnd the Circassian girl has retired to prlvato life, when tho great tents nro laid away forever and tho strawberry nnd vanilla funny man no longer sings his moss-covered ballads, then In deed will tho ruinous Iconoclasm of an lr. revcicnt century bo laid bare In all Us hid. eons cruelty. No man who has over bal. anccd himself for hours on a narrow plank with ono arm around his best girl and tho other thrust Into n pocket filled with pen nuts, but will feel a sentimental sadness creep over him as ho learns that tho circus, as an institution, is at present under a most unwelcome cloud. nnnnmlter's, ruaADEM-nu, May , lssi.

Dogs io very useiui animals. When you can't sleep, dogs help you to stay awake by barking nil tho time in tho night, I know dogs that will bark nt tbo moon, but tho moon don't mind it a bit. Dogs is useful to chase cats. I don't like cats, they cat rats dogs, don't eat rats. Dogs catch foxes too, and thats a good thing for foxes eat chickens I like chickens myself. Dogs pays a tax leastways they charge 'em, and the dog has to pay or run away. Dog skins mako first-rate leather for shoes. There ought to be more dog skin leather. I know a good many dogs that would make first rato leather. Wm.
