The case of Nitner S. Munson . it ti 1 11 1 against Harman Breish was called tion brought to recover damages for injuries received by the plaintiff by a collision with the team of the defendant iu September' 1006. It happened in the public road leading from Catawissa to Slabtown. The plaintiffs team was walking, and the defendant was driving rapidly in the dark. Munson was thrown out and injured. A jury was called, and on Mon day went over to view the ground. Messrs. Rhawn and Kreischer rep resented the plaintiff, and Harman and Fisher the defendant. On Tuesday morning the case came to a sudden end, it being al leged that while on their way to lew the ground a conversation took place in their hearing that might influence their verdict, and so on motion of Mr. Rhawn a juror ! was wunorawn Dy me couri, ana the case continued. TYPHOID. Public Interest In the Work. Commenting on the great move ment in this state to minimize the ravages of typhoid fever and tuber culosis, the Harrisburg Telegraph says: "It is interesting to note the great concern being manifested by the people of Pennsylvania in the battle to stamp out tuberculosis and typhoid and how public sentiment is changing from a position of tacit and sometimes open opposition to sanitation, to the extending of aid to the authorities. The change is as yet not general, but it is making headway and is significant. It was not many years ago that when ty phoid ic er was made the object of an attack by the medical profession which declared it a preventable di sease, doctors were laugnea at. The populace at large has scarcely recognized that consumption is equally amenable to proper effort. However, there is a change coming over the opinions of the people and the warfare so ably led by State Health Commissioner Dixon is be ing aided in unexpected quarters." BEWES & Our aaatul DRY XMAS IN NORTHUMBERLAND Saloonkeepers Petitioning Court to ltue Ctoiing Ordor. From all indications it will be a "dry" Christmas at least in Sun bury and Shainokin this year again and more than likely entire North umberland county may be dry. Last week a petition was started in these two towns to be circulated among the saloon and hotel keepers petitioning the court to issue an order closing all these places, to be closed the entire day ou Christmas. These petitions are always start ed and circulated by some of the saloon keepers, and some of those in the liquor business wait until the last minute refusing to sign until a majority have affixed their signa ture. Those who are opposed to the closing do not like the idea of having the petition sent to the court without their names when the others have signed, and therefore they agree. Some of them who would like to keep open claim that the movement is started not from ,a sense of right, but by some of the dealers who want to escape the usual giving away of Christmas drinks, looking at it from a money standpoint. It has been reported that before the present term of court at Sun- bury is closed an order will be issued by the court ordering all sa loons closed iu Northumberland county on Christinas.

We Are to Have a Very Strenuous Winter. The winter of 1907 1908, accord ing to the markings of the goose bone, as taught by the late Elias Hartz, of Reading, and disclosed by one of his disciples, will not be as mild as some people predict. These markings indicate the rapid approach of winter and frosts, rain and snow are probable, although severe cold weather is not due until after the New Year. Between Janu ary 10th and 15th eastern Pennsyl vania is likely to have a touch of real winter.
