tional exceptions to the report of the
Auditor were filed by permission of
the Court.
The constables were directed to sit
in the jury box, and the court address
ed them, saying :
"Gentlemen s There has been some
uncertainty and some dispute as to
whether or not you are entitled to
pay for making returns to the Court
of Quarter Session. At the last term
we were asked by the Commissioners
what we thought of it, whether you
should be paid ? At that time two
of the Judges of the state, we think,
will not le certain, Judge Pershing of
Schuylkill and Judge Bennett of Luz
erne had decided that you are not en
titled to pay, not even to your mile
age. We answered the commission
ers that we thought you were entitled
to your mileage ; but the commission
ers, as we understand, being governed
by the opinion of the two judges be
fore whom the question had been
raised, withheld your pay per day
fearing (no doubt) that if they paid
you it would be at the risk of being
obliged to reimburse the county out
of their own pockets. Our answer to
the commissioners at that time was
not what is called an opinion, was not
a decision of any question before us,
but merely an obiter dictum in no way
binding upon the Court or determina
tive of any contested right. Since
then Judge Biddle of Cumberland
county has carefully considered the
matter as submitted to him. He holds
that the old law compensating con
stables is not repealed, although the
late act fixing the fees of constables
does not mention such compensation,
that constables are still entitled to
pay for the day as well as for mileage.
We are informed that the solicitor
for the County Commissioners is of
the same opinion, if sorobably you
will have no difficulty ivjgetting your
pay for this term and for any term
now in arrear."

freaencK Lrraeoer, tne sur
viving victim of the Cameion Mine
cave-in disaster at Shamokin, had his
fractured and frozen leg amputated
near the knee on Monday. The
patient has been in a critical condi
tion for several days past, but the
operation had to be performed to
give him any further chance for life.
Miss Gertrude Sheep left on Tues
day morning for Shamokin, where she
has accepted a position of book-keeper
lor some firm in that city, a posi
tion formerly held by Miss Maud
Gothie, the young lady who met her
death about two weeks ago while out
driving with her lover Frederick
Graeber.
An exchange says : "Catawissa
township land owners are excited
over the discovery of coal on the farm
of William Zimmerman. No borings
have been made to any considerable
depth, and the size ot the vein is un
known. Additional interest is given
to the discovery from the fact that.
ex-Representative E. M. Tewksbury
has been quietly buying up large
tracts of unseated lands on the Cata
wissa mountain."
