W. M. Eraser is in Cambria couuty help
ing to make another survey of the coal
lands which have been a source of litiga
tion between C. A. Hughes, of this city,
and J. C. Martin, of Philadelphia, for a
number of years. The case was last before
the United States district court in Pitts
burg, and when the jurymen found they
could not agree upon a verdict they began
playing football in the jory room. The
judge advised Messrs. Hughes and Martin
to compromise their case before the prop
erty in dispute was eaten up by litigation,
but they propose o have another hitch in
courts to determine ownership.
The land in dispute consists of 73 acres
of valuable coal land in Portage township.
While engaged a few days ago Mr. Eraser
discovered a tree that was marked in 1730.
It is thought the mark was made bv In
dians, as it was not until 17.3 that the
Indians sold the land to William Penn.
Mr. Eraser says it is the oldest mark ever
found on any tree in this section of the
state. The next oldest thought was made
on a tree near Blair Furnace in 1770. Dur

Judge Mayer, of Clinton county, has ren
dered an opinion which is of great im
portance to suitors, justices of the peace
and aldermen, in reference to the fee bill
of May 23, 1SD3, which was supposed to
haye increased the fees to those officers
and constables as well. Since that time
the latter-named officers have been
charging ten cents per mile circular, for
serving a summons, warrant or subpoena
The case before Judge Mayer was one in
which a constable traveled thirty-four
miles to serve a warrant, and the same
distance for its return, and charged $0.80,
or at the rate of ten cents per mile, and
the same rate for traveling forty miles.
circular, in subpoenaing witnesses. This,
the judge says, is unlawful, and that ten
cents per mile, direct, ts all that can
be charged, which cuts down the fee
just one-half. -As some justices aud con
stables in this county have been doing the
same thing, it Is important that they
should know what the law is.

DENTISTRY.
Do you know we are taking out teeth
every day without one particle of pain?
Well, we are doing this very thing with
"Odontuiider." the ouly local anaesthetic
that has stood the test and to-day it is the
only one that is used universally by den
tists who are up to date in their calling.
The price tor "Odontunder" when pain
less is oil cents, but if you experience the
least pain, we only charge you the usual
price, 25 cents.
How about those teeth that need filling?
Well, you say they don't a he. Thai's
just the reason why you should have them
tilled now. After they hive ached once
you will probably have to have the nerve
killed and the tooth treated if you are de
sirious of saving it. I only charge M cents
for amalgum fillings aud from (l.oo up for
cold tiilings. These are hard-time prices
but they go just the same. Why procras
tinate? that's a big word but it's a good
one right here because procrastination
means to the patient loss of sleep, neural
gia, ear-ache, tooth-ache and goodness
knows what else. We know of a good
many young ladies of our acquaintance
who would have been married long a no if
hadn I !een for those horrid-looking
teeth. Ilemember, to every patient naviug
eeth filled I give a Iwx of Ur. Richards
tcotb powder and full instructions for the
care of the teeth. On the 13th of each
month 1 will extract teeth free of charge.
You say why on tbe 13th. Well, now.
bat's my business. All you have to do is
to come. Remember I won t take out your
good teeth, because 1 don't believe Id it.
1 hen you say suppose tbe 13th falls on
undav. Come right along and we will he
only too glad to relieve you of the offend-
ng member.
