that tho verdict was 1 seesslve, (2) that the
verdict was against tuu weight and pre.
nonderanco of tho evidence, (3) that tho
juiy was misled by plaintiff's counsel by tho

Six apptlciti ns for appointment to the
Hire of Director of Bloom Poor District to
fill tho vacancy caused by tho resignation
f L. M. Pettlt were Hied In court n Mon.
day. Tliu applicants wero Dr. F. W. Kcde-
ker, Geo. W. Kelchner, B. F. Reighard,
Jacob Girard, A. C. Hidlay, and Stephen
i-ttit. Judgo Ikeler said that so far as he
was concerned ho should endeavor to in
duce tho associates to make tho appoint
ment, and read in support of his position,
from the speech of Chief Justice Paxson
mado at tho banquet In Now York at tho
U. 8 Supreme Court Centennial, in which
ho deprecates tho practice of tho legisla
tures In giving to the courts tho appoint
ment of petty political ofllclals. Judgo
'axson theory may lie correct, but tho
laws as they stand now require tho courts
to uppoint certain officials aad tha y
must assume all the responsibility that tho
law places upon them. When tho associ
ates agree no dlllkulty arises, but when
they disagree the laiv judgo must cast tho
deciding vote.
We laave received the fifth annual rcpoit
of tho Tuogchowfu Dispensary, in charge
of the American Presbyterian Mission, at
Tungchowfu, China. Dr. James B. Neal
Is tho physician In charge. Iu his repoit
tho Doctor says :
The past year 1889 has lucn one of
continuous w.irk at Ihe TcngchoHtu Dls.
pensary, and In many respects has been tho
most satisfactory cno iu un eiperiencu of
five years. Owing to the class of medical
students having been Id training two years,
I was able, when called away to tho famine
region early in the spring, to leave the
medical work In charge of ono of them for
the three months ot my absence, so that
tho dispensary has been open more days
than any year previously, and Iho attend,
anco of out-patients m tho aggregate by
severel hundred than ever bifore. Tho
total attendance of dispensary patient? dur
ing tho twelvo months whs 4,227, the num
ber of days during which patients were
seen was 302, giving an uvernge of 14 pir
day. Of these 4,227 ilslte, 1,59) were paid
by persons who had never received treat
ment at tho dispensary bstorc, tho bilance
being sccoii'l vlkils. In addition to the
homo work, 931 visits wero received from
patients in the famine region where, dur.
Ing about a month, a temporary dispensary
was carried on by tho pludcnts, who were
with me engaged In famine relief work.
This makes tho total for the whole year
5,158. During tho summer anil betore
going on his autumn Itinerating trip, Rev
Dr. Mills came to tho dispensary nearly
every day to talk to tho patients. Somo
among tho In. patients hayo recmcd some

uot but hope, however; that some seed has
been sown that sooner or later will spring
up and yield some harvest, Onco during
tho autumn a man, who had been treated
In hospital last year, camo back from his

John Herring was born In Lynn Twp,
Northampton Co. Pa., D20. 18, 1801. He
was tho second son ot Lnd wig Uorrlng
whoso father, Christopher, with his whole
family, Immigrated to this country from
Germany. Being of tho poasanlry of that
country tho head ot&ho liouso had no
means with which to pay tho cxpjnses of
tho long and tirenmi ncian vnyago of that
day, and according to tho common custom
then existing, when tho passengers were
landed at Phila. their services wero put up
and struck down to tho highest bidder.
Tho monoy paid for theso services wont to
tho ship owners as tho prlco ot their pas
Bago. Tho passengers bccimo then regu
larly Indented servants for a definite
period, Among thorn was Christopher
Herring nnd family who wero bound out to
different masters and consequently becamo
widely separated) somo uover afterward
being hoard of by others Three of tho
children growing Into manhood enlisted In
tho Revolutionary War, two of whom wero
killed In tho battlo of Brandywlno.
Ltidwlg, another child, was bound to
Valentino Brobst then living In what Is
now called Columbia Co.; ho served his
master till ho was 21 yuirs ol I, then mar.
rlcd an English women, Christian Bright
by name, nnd moved to Northampton Co.
About 1S10 with a rising family ho moved
to Orangevllle and it was here where the
deceased was brought up and spent most
of his life. Ot John's four brothers nnd
eleven sisters, six of whom are half-sisters,
but four ure living.
In 1820 John Herring married Rachd
Snyder nnd moved Into a house on Main
St, where they lived continuously for 54
y ar. His wife died May 11, 1881, having
been married 64 years. Nino children
were born to them, six of whom aro Btill
llvlng-C. D. Herring of Wilkes-Barre,
G, A Herring of Bloomsburg, Mrs. John
Neyhard of Wilkesbarre, A. B. Herring
of Orangevil'e, and tho twins Calvin Hei
rlng of Orangevllle and Elishn Herring of
ICnnknkee. III. Ho had 45 grand children,
22 great grand children, He was a carpen
ter by trade and his 5 sons and 8 grandsons
all followed In his wake by learning the
samo trade. In 1820 ho recived 02Jca day
which was considered big wages at thattimc.
For 22 years ho was foreman of carpenters
on tho Penna, canal from Wllkes-Barrc to
Northumberland. When not engaged
there he usually did contract work In this
aud neighboring counties. He served 10
years, as Justice of tho Peace for Orange
Twp. and at the' time of his death was
among the oldest of its citizens. lie joined
the Reformed church when but 17 yrs. ot
age and continued a member of that re
ligious body to the day of his death, April
4, 1893, at tho homo of G. A. Herring in
Bloomsburg. He was 85 years, 3 inos. 18
days old when he died.
In pnlltfcs he was a Democrat and was
always pleased to announce that ho voted
first for Jackson. Uc was a public spirited
man, always eager and zealous to promote
the interests of bis community. For a man
of his years ho was unusually rugged up to
within a month ot his death Slnco his
wife's death he had been living among his
children, traveling from Orangevllle to
Bloomsburg and from there to Wllkcs-bar-re;
and nine years ago even went to Illinois
with apparent caso and comfort. It hag
been only a month since ho first showed
any sign of breaking down. Even then he
did not take his bed and walked a little In
the house the day of his death. Oa the
evening of the 4th ho lay down very tired
and prepared as though-to take a night's
rest. Uo went to sleep at six and novel
aga'n awakened. Fivo minutes bctora 8
o'clock peacefully and without a struggle
his breathing bscamc fainter and f il nter
until the sleep of earth mergedintotho sleep
of death. Tho remains wero Interred at
Orangevllle besldo his wife

I have boeu asked to tell through the
CoLUMMAN how to find out, 'cheaply and
conveniently, just what kind of fertilizer a
given soil needs.
Put stakes in several places in tho new,
bow a small nlut of fertilizer around the
stake; write name of fertilizer, seed and
dato on stake and I think you will learn
what nuadtltv and kind of fertilizer will
glvo the lacking dement cheapest.
Mr. Tewksbury and other dealers, should
suggest to manufacturers of fertilizers, to
put up sample pound packages of standard
potash, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, carbon
dioxide, &c, to give to the farmers for
testing their soil. I think It would pay as
a modo of advertising. Farmers would
llko a change from long winded certificates
to a sample of tho thing itself.
An excellent soil for wheat contains in
100 pounds ot soil, 28 pounds of lime, 32 of

Six months have passed away since
Charles Haue w is murdered at Shamoki
Dam, says Ihe Sunbury DaVu, yet Iho mys
tnry surrounding thu diath is as dark as
ever and will probably be one of the nn
murdeis which ore recorded without tho
murderer being found. It secin3 straugo
that in a little village the size of Shamoki
Dim a murder could bo committed with
out the person or persons being found, yi
such has proven to bo tho caso, Immedi
ately after the murder the father ot tho boy
hired several detectives to ferret out tho
case, but owing lo tho lack ot funds the
detectives wero soon withdrawn, not, how.
ever, brforo Martin Dctrlck had been ar
rested as tho guilty party. Uo was given
a hearing before J udgu Buchcr, Want nf
evidence caused his discharge. Hardly
had tho talk of young Dctrlck's arrest died
away when tho commissioners ot Snyder
county, who had before refused to "glvo a
reward, camo forward and offered $1,000
tor tbo arrest and conviction ot tho guilty
person or persons. Had this reward been
offered before tbo detectives left for
tho city tho offender might have been
brought IWorc justice. About two months
ago Sunbury and vicinity was thrown Into
a wild stato of excitement when It was an
nounced that Qcorgo Ilanc, thu father of
the murdered boy, had been aricsted,
charged with tho murder of lilt son. An
Investigation, however, proved that this
was not true.

OONTIUDOTED.
All things conspired to mako a "glorious
Easter" for tho congregation of Si. Paul's
Episcopal church.
As ono entered tho Church at tho early
erylces, tho lesson of tho. Resurrection
was impressed upon the heart.
Tho Altar was resplendent in its garni
ture ot cxqulsttu cut (lowers, and tho
equally beautirul floral decorations of tho
font nil told tho lesson of hope and com
fort.
Theso lovely fliwers wero an offering
from two 1 idles of tuo congregation.
Tho exquisite calla 1 1 1 1 lea on the Altar
wero an offering from two children of the
'arlsh, In memory of a dear little brother
and sister In Paradise.
Many growing plants had been tastefully
arranged by tho ladles of tho Altar com
mittco, in tbo chancel and other parts of
the church, and together with tho whlto
anglngs of tho Easter-tldc, gavo brightness
to tho scene.
Tho gentlemanly ushers seated tho largo
congregation with prompt attention.
When the hour for tho oponlne of tho
servlco came, tho grand strains of tho or
gan and accompanying Instruments began
the musical portion of tho servlco which
was mainly choral throughout.
Too much praise cannot boa vardedGeo.
. Elwell for his painstaking efforts In be
half of tho Easter music of 3t. Paul's, tho
results of which wero so thoroughly enjoy
ed by those who wero present at the ser
vices. The singers deserve great commendation
and thanks, and to the young men of tho
orchestra, It. Drinker, E. Bearlos and A.
Cohen, who contributed so much to the
success of thu music, much appreciation Is
duo.
The Rector expressed tho sentiment of
ih.,i.,, -" -"
the large assembly when ho thaiked tho
choir for theit aDnroorlato music. Tho
Hymn, "Christ the Lord is risen n-day,''
was sung to music composed by Mr. El
well for this occasion and named "Lever-
ctt" by him for the Itcctor. It was flttiunlv
rendered as was every tuno and anthem.
Tho regular worshippers ot St. Paul's
felt that the solemn and impressive services
of the preceding woek had Indeed prepar
ed them for tho joyous facts ot tho Easter
dawn.
At tho second servlco, 10:30 o'clock, a
sermon was preached ;by tho Itcctor, fol
lowed by tlao iloty Commuaioa, tho musl-
at portions being rendered by tho same
choir as at tho early service, without tho
orchestral accompaniment. A very largo
number of communicants received their
Easter communlob.
Tho offerings at both the morning ser
vices were for the missionary work of tho
church In tho Diocese.
In tho evening at 0:30 o'clock, tho Sun-
lay School held Its Easter service, consist
ing of carols, tho recitation ot tho Cato
chlsm, and other recitations, and tbo giving
of the Easter off.'rings. Theso offerings
wero large and wero given by each class
as a result of earnest work during Lent.
Each class had an appropriate name and
motto, and as each was called by the Hec
tor, presented in turn Its offering to him.
A plcasiug feature connected with tho
evening was tho givlm of their missionary
boxes to tho rector by several llttlo ones of
tho Parish, who are still too small to attend
Sunday School, but who have been collect
Ing their pennies during Lent,
The Sunday School classes who gave the
largcs', amount were thoso ot Miss Menden
hall, Miss Martha Clark and Miss Hattio
Sloan.
Tho great charm ot the Sunday School
service was tho bright music. Tbo organ
1st ol tho School, 51)3 May Blue, sustained
her part with much credit to herself and
tu .uu
pleasure to tho largo congregation, and the
children's singing pleased everyone.
Thus ended a Bed Letter Day in tho his-
