Moomshurg, in I second class matter, March I, inns. BLOOMSBURG, FA. 1 KIDAY. MAY 31, 1892. OOUET PROCEEDINGS- Coin. vs. Charles Pcnnypacker, as sault ami battery. Case tried, verdict rot guilty, county pay costs. Com. vs. S. K. Heller, defendant pleads guilty to second count, and nol pros allowed as to other counts. In the case of Commonwealth vs. S. K. Heller and A. P. Breihof for Gambling and keeping gambling places, both plead guilty to the indictments ami the court pronounced smtence as follows : A ugusuts Jireihof. The grand jury have recommended you to the mercy of the court. Their reasons, of course, do not appear; but there is enough upon the record before us to warrant our conjecture that it is be cause of your readiness to assist in the investigation of other like cases. For all offenses enumerated in the act of assembly punishing crimes of tins character, the penalty i3 both im prisonment pnd fine (within certain limits) at the discretion of the Court. Umler the law, we are obliged to im pose both a fine and some term of im prisonment. Under all the circum stances of your case, the sentence of the court is : That you Augustus P. Breihof, pay to the commonwealth the costs of prosecution and a fine (for the use of the Columbia county Law Li brary) of twenty-five dollars; and that you undergo imprisonment in the county jail of Columbia county for the period of one hour the shortest term allowed by law and that you stand committed until this sentence is com plied with. Sumuel IT. Heller: You have also pleaded guilty of allowing or permit ting or suffering persons to gamble at your place of business play games of chance for money or other valuable things. There is no recommendation from the grand jury in your behalf; but counsel and others think that you are not an exception to the rule in the town of Berwick and in other places. To us it seems singular that our constables and peacemakers do not report cases of this kind, if they exist to any extent or are very numerous; and it seems remarkable that your case should le searched out and sent here, almost alone, while gaming and cock fighting and the like violations of law are spoken of in the public prints of the county as taking place with the full knowledge and view of the public generally. We have been looking and expecting to hear from peace-officers in reference to crimes of this sort, but jour case is among the first brought to our attention. An appeal has been made to the court on your behalf for mercy, and we cannot help feeling, from our knowledge of you and of the circum stances surrounding your case; that the appeal is entitled to considera tion ; nevertheless the sentence of the court should be one that will not only punish you but deter others from con tinuing the practice of gambling or of allowing gambling on their premises. 1' is a practice very demoralizing to the community: it produces nothing, and somebody invariably loses; it leads to ruin and disgrace, and does the country no good. We hope that the penalty inflicted upon you will be a warning to others. We know you to he a respectable person; reputed to be a good, enterprising and useful citi.en. We know you to be able to pay a fine, and we believe, that, on account of your good name and the welfare of your family, you would prefer to pay a heavy fine rather than to suffer a long imprisonment ; and we think that it would be better for you and for your family and for all concerned, and that the ends of justice will so be better served. The sentence of the Court, there fore, is: That you, Samuel K. Hel ler, pay to the' Commonwealth the costs of prosecution and a fine (for the use of the Columbia county Law Library) of two hundred dollars, and tint you undergo imprisonment in the county jail ofjolumbia county for the Period of one hour, and that you stand committed until this sentence is com l'lled with. Com. vs. Hiram S. Williams, gamb llnn'. a true bill. Kepoit of grand jury filed.

How Storms Travel- The storms that cross our country arc divided into two classes, one in which there is a deficiency of pressure, known as "low," the storm center being a vacuum, or the place where the atmospheric pressure is least, and the winds blow spirally inward and up ward toward the center, with a motion opposite to the movement of the hands of a watch, and are generally at tended by warm, moist air. They travel across the country at an average rate of about six hundred miles in twenty four hours. It occasionally occurs that their speed is greatly ac celerated. Especially is it great when the major, or longest, axis (which is determined by the shape of the iso bars) extends east and west, and their radius is confined to narrow limits. In such cases the wind often exceeds a velocity of fifteen hundred miles in twenty four hours, and the rain or snow which falls is caused by the warm, moist air ascending to a con siderable height, where the moisture is condensed by the cold expansion, and the precipitation over the entire track becomes unusually heavy. Such storms, as a rule, follow the course of heaviest rainfall. From "How the Weather is Forecast," in Demorcst's Family Magazine for June. II MUM W. S.

Now if the conditions were revers ed if they asked you to pay $500 for a positive cure you might hesitate Here are reputable men, with years of honorable dealing ; thousands of dol lars and a great name back of them and they say "We can cure you be cause we've cured thousands of others like you if we can't we will pay you $500 for the knowledge that there's one whom we can't cure."

There is a certain bracing effect in cold air which is lost when the weather grows warmer ; and when Nature is renewing her youth, her ad mirers feel dull, sluggish and tired. This condition is owing mainly to the impure condition of the blood, and its failure to supply healthy tissue to the various organs of the body. It is re markable how susceptible the system is to help to be derived from a good medicine at this season. Possessing just those purifying, building-up quali ties which thj body craves, Hood's Sarsaparilla soon overcomes that tired feeling, restores the appetite, purifies the blood, and, in short, imparts vigor ous health. Its thousands of friends as with one voice declare "It Makes the Weak Strong' Sleeves are high on the shoulders, quite full around the arms, very long and elaborately trimmed at the wrists. Not many physicians make great therapeutic discoveries. For the most part they content themselves with administering judiciously what is prescribed in the books. To Dr. J. C. Ayer, however, is due the credit of discovering that greatest of blood purifiers Ayer's Sarsaparilla. i. W. Hartman & Song We keep hundreds of arti clcs that are nowhere kept in the County.

It Is In the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues ot the air and food pansages.that catarrh makes Its stronghold. Once established It eats Into the very vitals, and renders life but a long drawn breath of misery aud disease, dulling the sense of hearlng.trnmmellngthe power of speech destroying the faculty of smell, tainting the brent h and killing the refined pleasures of mate. I nslduously, by creeping on from a simple cold In the head, It assaults the membranous lining and envelopes tha bones, eating through the delicate conts and causing lntlammntlon.slough Ing and death. Nothing short of total eradica tion will secure health to the patient and all allevlutles are simply procrastinated sufferings, lording to a fatal termination. The Drs. have by a treatment local and constitutional, mudn the cure of this dread disease a certnlntv, and has never failed. Even when the dlseaso has made frightful Inroads on delicate constitutions hearing, smell nnd taste have becu removed, and the disease thoroughly averted. They recognlaie the gront principal that genius or talent, or exceptional skill In and profession.
