THE PRICE REDUCED.
Tbo Columbian has ever kept abreast of
tho times. Cheap newspapers are the
order of tho day, and Ibis olllce can as wcl
afford to publish a paper at $1.00 a year,
as any other olllce. Out as the price is
low wo caunot afford lo give any more foe
tho money than any other paper gives. We
havo determined to reduce the price of the
Colombian to $1.00 a year, and on or about
July 1st we shall reduce the slzo of the
paper to that of the largest of other papers
published at that price. Our only hesita
tion for somo time has been that tho re
duction of the size might seem like a back,
w&rd step, but as the price Is reduced In
proportion, and as price, not size, seems to
bo tho principal object, wo have decided
upon this change. Tho patronage of this
olllce has never been better than It is to
day, and our subscription list was never in
a healthier condition. It is only because
we hope to largely Increase the list that the
reduction has been made, thus placing us
on an equal footiog with the other cheap
papers. Tho principles of this paper will
not be changed in auy way. We ask no
olllce, wo have noaxes lo grind, no prom
Ises to make, and hence none to break.
This paper was established flfty-ono years
ago, and Is now In the ninth year of Its
present management. It has, wo believe,
always enjoyed tho confidence and respect
of tho public and our endeayors shall all be
directed towards the inalntalnancc of that
position.
All who have paid in advance at the old
rate of $1.60 will receive credit on our
books for the excess from July 1. All who
aro In arrears for subscription will be
charged at the rate of $1.60 up to July 1st,
and SI. 00 a year after that date. If

Court Proceedings.
The regular May term of court opened
on Monday morning, May 7, ut 10 o'clock.
President Judge Elwell and Associates
McIIenry and Murphy on tho bench.
After tho returns of constables had been
taken Judge Elwell said:
The returns of the.constahlcs are to the
effect that there has been to their .knowl
edge, no violation ol any law of tho com.
monwcaltbi and that.thcreUias been no mis
demeanor, except that In ono or two
instances, the supervisors havo neglected
to repair tho roads at one or two points
designated; but in all those instances the
constables stato that tho supervisors are
going on with the repairing. As a matter
of course, they are In the performance ot
their duty In doing that, and we ought not
therefore (and do not) take any judicial no
tice of those returns. In one instance the
constable returns that the supervisor neg
lects to cause tho water to bp drained oil
from the road. We presumo that, it now.
being the spring of tho year and tho time
most suitable for attending to the repair
ing of the roads, all these matters will be
examined into by tbo supervisors, and
therefore wo pass over these returns for
neglect of duty, as they do not show any
care that would seem to requlro action on
the part of the court. It is a fnct well
known to farmers and taxpayers that work
dono upon the highways In the spring ot
the year Is far better than to poslpoue it
until the fall and leave the roads in bad
condition during the winter. Immediately
between planting and hoeing time is a very
good time to repair the highways.
The constables return that index boards
are up, and that there is no violation of the
law against the traffic In Intoxicating liq
uors, to their knowledge. It is, so far, a
very clear bill of health, as returned by the
constables.

Tho Grand Inquest of theCommonwcalth
of Pennsylvania Inquiring In and for the
body of said county, respectfully report:
That we havo pursuant to out required
duties, investigated all bills of Indictment
presented for our consideration, and have
passed upon them according to their re.
spectlve merits. We havo alsocxamined the
public buildings and find that the Register
and Recorder's office needs papering and
the counter and tablo needs a now covcrlne
of oil cloth. Tbo Prothonotarv's office, also
needs papering, that the range in the jail
needs new fire brick. The sewer pipe In
kitchen jail is out of order and falls to dis
charge the water in the winter. That the
steam generator of the steam heater is not
of sufficient capacity to heat the building.
We recommend that the jail wall be ce
mented on the Inside on both sidei of the.
Jail so that prisoners may use the yard for
fresh air. We would recommend immed
iate attention to the above as reports of the
same have been given before and no atten
tion has been paid to them.
