Ua Laws to Bunglingly Printed That They Should Bo Reprinted. The pamphlet laws of the last ses sion of the Legislature have been so carelessly printed that difficulty is likely to be experienced in determin ing what some of the laws mean. The book is full of errors, whole lines being transposed. As this is the authorized copy of the law and is used every where over the State and intended for all fnture years. It can be easily un derstood what confusion may be caus ed by the blunders that have been made. The work ought to be carefully re vised by competent proof readers and a new edition issued as soon as possi ble to take the place of that now in the hands of the public. It must be taken for granted that the Superinten dent of Public Printing has not ap proved this work, and until he does approve it the contractor can get no pay for it. It should be placed in competent hands for execution and the cost charged to the contractor, who has obviously failed to do his duty in this instance. Payment for such work should not be permitted, and it is the business of the Superintendent to see that it is not. J'ress. Washing Machine Works. This is an industry which has grown up with Bloomsburg, and has kept pace with the developments of the other industries. To day we have two well equipped plants for their manu facture, which are able to complete a large number of machines daily. The fact that they are in great demand, and each factory has numerous orders on hand, is the best evidence of the confidence the public have in them. They have been before the public, and in constant use for several years, and have in every instance given entire satisfaction. The factory of C. Mears is located at the corner of Fifth and West street, and that of David Savage, on Iron street. Parties in need of washing machines will find either of the gen tlemen men of integrity and with whom it will be a pleasure to transact busi ness. The wood used in their con struction is well seasoned, and the castings are first class in every parti cular. Both of them have an exhibi tion on the Fair ground where they will be pleased to explain their work ings to any desiring information. Oromia Fowler.

Rail Way Company the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $686.30. The following Sheriffs deeds were acknowledged in open Court To E. W. Ivey for property of Albert Gillespy, consideration $50. To John K.Thomas for property of W. H. Manning, consideration $i5- By an order of the Court the office of tax collector in Conyngham Town ship was declared vacant. This be came necessary because no one would take the office. The next case called and put on trial was Lavina Rabuck vs. S. II. & W. Rail Way Company. This like the other damage case came from Beaver Township and the evidence was similar to th given in that case. They Chimed however as special damage.that their spring was ruined by the wash from the rail road running into it. They had a jug of the water in Court The jury awarded a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $1352.52. A jury was taken in the case of Creasy and Wells vs. Emanuel Re formed church of Madison Township owner and Jacob Shoemaker con tractor, case to be tried Monday morning. The plaintiffs claim in this case the sura of $885.38 for material furnished lor said church. Counsel for defend ant moved to strike from the plaint iffs claim the sum of $475 for frames, mill work.mouldings &c on the ground that the charge was lumped. The Court rendered the following opinion. OPINION OF THE COURT. The present consideration arises upon a re argument of the demurrer filed Feby. 5, 1895 to the item of mill work, frames, moulding &c. as per specifications and drawings $475, alleged to be a lumping charge with' out being itemized or explained for the information of the owners of the building against which the lien was filed, and should therefore be stricken off. In our former consideration cf this question we held the said item, or charge of July 31, 1893 to be de fective and that we were warranted according to the practice of the lower Courts and under the Act of Assembly of June nth, 1879 in allowing it to be amended notwithstanding the fact that more than six months had elapsed since the date of furnishing the last item or material named in the lien. Since our former ruling in this matter the Supreme Court in the case of McFarland vs. Shultz and Magill 168 Pa. State Reports, 593 have plainly and distinctly ruled that a lumping charge like the one in question, not setting forth the kind or nature of the work done or the kind and amount of materials furnished, and the specific If a woman is not attractive, there ia something wrong. Any woman can be attractive if she will make the effort. It isn't altogether a question of beautv. It's largely a matter of health. The bloom and irlow of health sro far toward bringing beauty. A. clear skin, bright eyes, red lips and the vivacity which bodily good feeling brings, will make even a homely woman handsome. Half of the women one meets are semi invalids. Failure, to heed the warnings of outraged naturefailure to give the help needed by the most delicate and sensitive organs little troubles ignored until they have become dominant dis ease allowed every chance to spread and gain a settled seat these things bring about the sunken, circled eyes, the hoi low cheeks, the pale and sallow skin, the flabby, stremrthless flesh, which characterize the appearance of the wo man wuo suiters irom "female weak ness." Dr. Pierce's Favorite PrescrinUon has cured thousands of suffering women. It is a perfected specific for the trouble peculiar to them. It eradicates the dis ease, stops the dragging, life-sapping drain, and in a perfectly rational, nat ural way, Dunns up the wasted strength. It will bring buoyant health. It will put roses into pale faces solid flesh in sunken places. It does away with the humiliating examinations and "local treatment" so much dreaded by mod estly sensitive women. For trilrtv vMn I it has been successfully prescribed by Dr. I Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the jnvaiius- uoiei ana surgical institute at uuuuio, si. v. terms and dates when the materials were furnished is incomplete and can not be amended or itemized under the Act of Assembly of June nth, 1879 so as to make the said charges conform to the 12th Section of the Mechanic's lien Act of Assembly of June 16th, 1836. In that case the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Court below because it refused to strike ftom the record of the lien a charge really more specific and full than the one in question. In the case now under consideration it is urged by counsel for plaintiff that be cause the Charge complained of refers to the " specifications, drawings &a" of the buildinir into which the mater ials went, and upon the credit of which the work was done, and which draw ings are alleged to be, and have been, in the hands of the owner, he was thereby sufficiently informed of how the charge or sum total was made up, and that therefore it should remain at least until after the evidence shall have been heard, and that if it shall appear from that, that the owner had full knowledge of the several items constituting the whole, then the charge should be held good and valid. We think that the fact of the per fection or sufficiency of such preferred and flavored lien should not depend upon or be decided by evidence outside the record. Upon its own showing or inspection for its foundation it must stand or fall. The remedy by mechanic's lien is special and should strictly follow the requirements of the statute. It cannot be supplemented by oral testimony or left to inference. It is our unquestioned duty to follow and obey the decisions of the Supreme Court, and it seems to us that a re fusal to sustain this motion would be in direct conflict with their recent rulings on this very subject. March :5th last we overruled this derpurrer but fte are" now obliged to sustain It under the decision of the Supreme Court above referred to and the authorities therein cited. It seems to us that a different determination of this matter by us would end in a reversal of our judgment and useless litigation and costs to the parties. And now Oct. 7th, 1895 our former order made in the matter March 29, 1895 is revoked and set aside, the present motion is sustained, and the charges as set forth in the mechanic's lien, as of July 31, 1893 is stricken from the record and not to be con sidered in the trial of the case.
