Iam annoy ed very much by hunters running over my uclds, and 1 want to know If there Is no way to stop it. Fabueh. Tho law for hunters is the same as for anybody else. Any pcraon who wilfully enters through or over any field, orchard, garden or yard fencp, or who shall tramplo or in anywise injure any grain, eras;, vines or other growing, crop Is subject to a penalty of not itj than five, uor more than fifty dollars, for each offense. The offend er can he arrested on a warrant Issued by any justice of tho peace, who has power to hear the case and linposo the penalty. One half the fine goes to the party Injured, and the other halt to the school fund of the dis trict in which tbo trespass was committed. be law docs not require any sign boards notifying hunters to keep off, though it is best to have them. Revlvnt ofilic l'mi. Polito nations for centuries back have used fans, but tho French during tho 10th and 17th centuries, perfected the art. Not only the art of making, but also the art of using tbo fan owes its perfection to Gallic nations of years ago. In tbo gay Courts of Louis XIV, and Louis XV fan decoration received its greatest encouragement, and now a "Vernls" Martin, a Watteau, a Van. loo or a Bouchor is eagerly sought for cab! nets and highly prized. Every reader of Balzac remembers how old cousin Pons tenderly carried a Watteau fan to his wealthy but uncultivated relative, and how he was hurt when they failed to appreciate the gentle, spiritual art of the "Prinee of Court Painters" as Watteau has been called. A member of the firm cf Bailey, Banks & Blddle, Philadelphia, who Is In a good posi tion to know, said that ho believed that there would bo a revival of tho art. "We carry In stock some of tho finest fans made in this country," observed this gentleman, and they arc, in some respects, the mounting for instance, superior to tho old ones." Do not forget that J.

In such cases wo are so ofton Importun ed H? f 1 aKalnt tbo County, that it Is high time that tho public, and especially Coroners and Justices of tho Peace should comply D We thcrctoro now put In writing, what wo havo heretofore said orally respecting tho duties of Justices of the Peace In such cases, with the hopo that it will be a satlj- factlon to Coroners and Justices, and with a fuU'.knowlcdgo that It will bo a great saving to tho County. We do not possess the power to approve of any M ,ni, lll0 0tmnty( nroQ., ,i,ri,i ,, .. , unless ex. prcssly authorized by statute,, except In a fow instances, relating to trials in Court, we may authorize the payment of certain expenses to prevent a failure of the admin istration of justice.

Tho custom In this County of holding an inquisition over tho dead body of every person who is accidentally killed, commits suicide, or where tho causo of death 1b known, must no longcT prevail at tho County's expense. It Is the duty of a Coronor and of a Jus- tico of the Peace, when authorized to act In tho placo of the Coroner, to make dili gent inquiry, and if, on that Inquiry or in formation, there Is no reasonable luspieion of munfer or vmni'aughler, no jury should bo summoned, nor Investigation mado at tho cost of.the County. If friends, neighbors and relatives deslro it, let It bo done at their expense. Where death results from tho kick of a horse, from nn explosion, or from being crushed by machinery, or pure accident; or where a person is seen or known to havo taken his or her own life by any means; or where upon inquiry or information no sis plclon of guilt or crime of tho living rea. sonably arises, thero is no occasion for an Inquest and none should be held, and none 111 hereafter be adjudged necessary or approved by this Court. The deaths of lho persons named in the inquisition having as therein alleged been caused by tho explosion of tbo steam boiler of a portablo saw-mill, in tbo presonco and view of friends and neighbors who hoard, saw and told how it occurred, there was no reason or necessity for an Inquest. We'tbcrcforc direct the inquisition to bo filed, but make no order for tho payment of fees or costs. BY .THE COURT, E. It. Ikblbb, P. J. Council rrocccdliiRii.

Llmbergcr who has dur ing tho past year and a half had charge the advance grade of Model Bchool, has resigned her position, and will go early In January as a missionary to Mexico. Her parents live in Danville, Pa., and she their only daughter. Sho has felt since tbo was a little girl an inclination to bo missionary. Mlts Llmburgcr has been a very faithful, efficient, and successful teacher, and she leaves a host of warm friends amoug her follow teachers and her pupils. Her christian influence will bo greatly missed in tho school, as sho was always among the foremost In every good work. Miss Llmburgcr's successor will .be Miss Melissa B. Pcrley of East Berkshire, Vt. It Is the deslro of tno trustees to keep up, and, If possible, advanco the high standard of exccllcnco attained by our model school, accordingly, as soon as It was known that Miss Limberger would leave, diligent search was made for a teacher of wide and successful experience, and one who had been especially trained for the work. It Is believed that the school and the pat rons of the town aro to be congratulated ou having secured Miss Pcrley. Bhe is a graduate of tbo Oswego, (N. Y,,) State Normal School, was for twelvo years critic teacher in tho Dayton, Ohio, Normal Bchool, Bhe resigned ber position there two years ago for tho purposo of resting and pursuing ber studies further. Pre vlous to her Normal Bchool experience, she had cxpericnoe In both ungraded and graded schools, from the primary tJ the high-school. Bbo comes highly , recom mended by Dr, Sheldon, Principal of tho Oswego Normal 8chool, by her former em ployers, and by other prominent educa tors who linow her. It would bo difficult to see, how the Bloomsburg Normal Bchool could havo secured a better teacher for this placo.
