According to the computation!) of M.
Herinltc, a French astronomer, the total
number of stars visible to tho naked eye of
an observer of average visual poer does
not exceed 0,000. The northern lietnls-
phero contains 2,478, and tho southern
hemisphere contains 3,307 stars. In order
to see Ihlsnumbcr of siars the night must
be moonless, tho sky cloudless and the at
mosphere puro. The power of tho naked
cyo Is here stayed. By the aid of an
opera glass 20,000 can bo seen, and with a
small telescope 150,000, whllo tho most
powerful telescopes will reveal moio than
100,000,000 stars.

Thos C. Eyans was sentenced by Judge
Woodward at Wilkcsbarre, last week, to
pay a lino of $100, aud undergo imprison
ment for thirty days, for attempted bribery
at tho republican county convention last
year.
Tho circumstances may bo briefly recount
cd. At tho County Convention a number
ot delegates made a combination, and con
eluded not to vote for any candidate unless
paid for It. Evans, In the interest of this
combination, was instructed to seo ono of
tin candidates for sheriff.nnd offer him tho
votes of the combination nt $10 a head.
Tho candidate not only declined this, but
ho afterwards had Evans arrested. Ho
was convicted and has now been sentenced.
This, we believe, is tho first case under the
Act of 1881. to prevent bribery ind fraud
at nominating conventions. It will doubt
less havo a wholesome effect in a locality
where It was greatly needed.
nUTlF.H OF CoNHTAnl,r.N.
At adjourned court, Bloomsburg, Aug
ust 1, 1887, Judges Elwell, Murphy and
Mcllenry on tho bench, Judge Elwell said
Inquiry has been made as to the duty of
constables under the law passed on tho
twenty-fourth day of May last, called "The
Higb-Licenso Law." Inasmuch as the
pamphlet-laws havo not yet been printed
and distributed, I deem it proper to answer
that inquiry. A law is defined by Black
stone to bu "a rule of action, prescribed by
tho supreme power of tho statu, command
lug what Is right and prohibiting what Is
wrong." It seems material that the rule bo
prescribed: and in this is implied tliat It be
published. Nevertheless,!! has been held by
the supreme court ot this state that an act
passed by the legislative body and approv
ed by tho executive is a law and that all
nersons within the commonwealth are
bound by its provisions, although it has
not been promulgated but remains in tne
archives of tho secretary of tho common
wealth.
Under the act spoken of, it Is tho duty
of a constable to visit each month at least
eyery placo within his bailiwick wheio liq
uors aro known to bo sold either by per
sons having licenses or by unlicensed per
sons. Under lormcr acis, uiu cousiuum
report to the court of quarter sessions was
almost Invariably, that he knew of no ylo.
latlon of the liquor laws. Tho legislature,
undoubtedly awaro that this was tho stereo
typed report, provided that tho constable
should put himself in tho way of obtaining
knowledge in regard to illicit tralllo In
irirituous, vinous and malt liquors,
Whether this provision for monthly vislta.
tlon will bo effective of the purpose Intend
ed remains to be seen. Tho constable
should not visit at stated periods, nor
should tho landlord or restaurant keeper
bo informed by any means of the tlmo
when ha may bo expected to make his visit;
because In either case of stated visits
of notlco to the landlord tho coustablo
would bo sure to And no violation of the
law. ThesDiritand Intent of tho law is
that tha constable shall bo actlvo In ascer.
Tho sun shono brightly down upon tho
heads of tho party that gathered at tho
Lackawanna depot last Tuesday morning,
at tho Invitation of Miss Annlo Jameson,
to await tho arrival of tho excursion car
that was to convey them to Stillwater ovor
the Bloomsburg and Bulllvan road. All
nature seemed bright nnd gay after tho re
freshing rnlns of tno day before, nnd a
more beautiful morning could not have been
asked for. Tho party numbered about
thirty, among tho number being Col. and
Mrs. Jameson, Mr, and Mrs. Hunt, Engl,
uccr Lutz and wife and Mr. W. M. Monroe,
besides quite, a number ot young folks.
CP TUB UOAU,
About nlno o'clock, tho engine and
car steamed up to tho station, nnd In n few
minutes tho plcknlckcrs had clambered on
board tho car, mid wcru comfortably soatcd.
A few minutes afterward tho start was
made, and tho train rolled down the L. &
B. nnd was switched to tho B. & S. road at
tho woolen mill.
A more delightful lido than that over Ibis
road can hardly bu imagined. Tho road
nearly all the way is in plain view ot tho
beautiful waters of Fishlngcreck, aud the
scenery, the delightful mountain breeze,
tho pretty little villages along tho road, all
combine to make It oue of tho prettiest
roads l'i this section ot tho country. The
train rapidly passed Llglitstrcct and Or-
angeville, rolled over Huntingdon Creek
bridge nt Forks and shortly after arrived at
Stillwater, llrro tho provisions were left,
nud the train moved rn, tho parly all want
ing to go to Uiu end of the road. Abovo
Stillwater the road runs through bcmtttful
green meadows, which end below Benton,
Tho terminus of tho rond was reached about
half-past ten o'clock, and a stop of a few
minutes was mado here, when the train re
turned to Stillwater, where tho party do
seended from tho car, and wended their
way to tho Stillwater picnic grounds.
A l'LEAHANT DAY.
The day was very pleasantly spent In
card-playing, quoit pitching, &c. At noon
bountiful repast was spread upon tho ta.
bles, and partaken of by all with great en
joymcnt.
However, although thu morning had been
such a beautiful one, this picnic was not
released from that banc of all picnics, rnln,
At about four o'clock In the afternoon,
largo black clouds appeared in tho north
west, which threatened rain every moment.
Everything was guthcrcd up, ami tho party
adjourned to tbo houso of Mr. Woods, near
the railroad. Hero tho remainder ot tho
day was spent in dancing and conversation.
The rain poured down In torrents for about
half an hour, when the sun again made its
appearance, and tho rest of tho day was as
pleasant as the morning.
ilOMK 1IT MOONLIGHT.
At nlno o'clock the whistlo of the engine
was heard In tho distance, and tho party
prepared for leaving; at quarter alter nlno
all were on board, and tho start was made
for home. As the train started, thrco
cheers wero given tor Mr- and Mrs. Woods,
the engino assisting with a loud whistle.
Tne ride homo was even more enjoyable
than the ride up. The moon among tho
clouds shining down upon the mountains
made a beautiful sight, and one not soon
forgotten. At Orangcvlllo and Lightstrcet
crowds had gathered on tho temporary plat
forms, and wildly cheered as the train
passed. At ten o'clock it steamed around
the corner of tho rocks, and drow up at
Main street, where the party alighted, all
having spent a delightful day, and one
which will live long In their memories.

A FATiMBR INDUCED I1T CONFIDENCE MEN TO
DTIAW $2,C00 F1IOM THE PANIC.
A telegram from Urccnsburg says that
tho thieves who robbed John L. Miller
some weeks ago of $2,600 havo been traced
and aro definitely located. Tho particulars
of this robbery havo but lately como to
light- Tho confidenco gentlemen had con
vinced Mr. Miller that by Joining tbcm in
tbo purchaso of a farm which tboy were of
fered cheap, ho could realize a profit of 70
per cent. Ono of them went to hlin in tho
field whero ho was at work and got htm to
go to tbo bank at Irwin to draw out tho
$2,500 which amount they wero short.
When ho had drawn his money and was
returning to tho farm In tho stranger's
buggy, at a point In the woods near Miller's
homo, they wero met by two other Strang
crs who, at tbo point of revolvers, compell
ed them both to glvo up their money. They
then mado old Mr. Miller swear that ho
would not reveal this proceeding. The
old gentleman had so much reverence for
na oath that ho positively refused to di
vulge nny particulars to his family. A
letter from Sunbury, Pa., states that tho
gentlemen who did this arc Identified, and
steps will bo taken to glvo them their deserts.
This Is the samo kind of a game that was
played on Malachl Ucllcs,of Fairfield town
