CUtCULATIOM. — The circulation of the
RxroRTXR, on this xida the county, is
larger than that of all other wpert in the
county. Business men will therefore and
this on* of the beat advertising mediums.
We invite all interested to come and in
sist our list for themralvea.
RXKXYTABCn All monies for sub
script low will be credited on the subscri
ber's addiww. <ach week by referring to
which our patrons can at all times see how
their accounts stand, and a receipt is by
this system carried upon each copy of the
paper.
—David Weidensaul, of Wood ward,
we are informed, baa rented the Old
Fort hotel,aud will tke possession io
the spring.
—Harry Reeser has sold his farm
below Aaronsburg, (formerly the
Lath. Parsonage), to John Ocutwite,
at 91S0 per acre.
-John M'Minn, of Potter twp, lost
throe hones recently, two died of the
epicootv and one strangled on the hal
ter in the stable. Mr. John Bituer,
jr., also lost a hone last week from
the disease ; one of the stage-hone* on
the Miltoy route, also died last w*ek
from the same cause.
—The railroad is not yet in run
ning order, yet its being put under
construction, has already had its ef
fects upon our valley. It has stimu
lated to new enterprises, and has led
to the development of new sources of
wealth. Iron ore of a good quality
has been prospected for and found in
the mountains of Fennscreek, we are
ev MI told that ore which will yield
seven p* ceut copper, has been dis
covered in .'^ e niur mountains But
what we desire wore particularly to
refer to here, as fo'lowing the same
cause, is the discovery rf • superior
quality of cement rock, on the lands
of Henry Mover, near the Forks.
Kilns have already been erected and
thousands of bushels of cement have
been manufactured, and used uixu
our railroad and shipped to other
parts. This cement we hear railroad
men pronounce as being of a superior
quality, and there is an inexhaustible
bed of it on the spot, and the manu
facture of cement will shortly be car
ried on upon a large seal* there, by
Messrs. J. G. Meyer and Peter Hoffer,
who have secured the right to the
quarries upon the above lands These
parties have one large kiln constant-
IT in operation, and are about errect
iug another to supply the large de
mand caused by the superiority- of the
article they manufacture. We were
shown over their works a few days
ago, and find, that with the superiori
ty of their cement, and inexhausti
ble quarries, tbey combine all the de
sirable facilities for trade and manu
facture, being possessed of splendid
water power, and in close proximity
to the railroad station at the Forks.
Property there, has, in Consequence,
largely enhanced in value, where, be
fore the advent of our road, it was al
most a drug.
—The following "good one' is told
on Col. J. D- Hnbler—oar old friend
Dnve, formerly of Heine* twp.—by
one of the Clinton county papers.
BEAR BROUGHT Down.—On Sat
urday last, Jake Ockerts of Sugar
Valley and J. D. Hubler worried their
way through cold and snow to the top
Ibf a mountain herd-by to shoot a bear
that Ockerts bad seen. The varmint
was under a shelf rock, his ugly head
fronting our sturdy hunters. Hubler
was to draw the bead; Ockerts was
the discoverer of the animal. The
bead was drawn, the trigger pulled,
and away flew the "moss* in every di
rection ! The shot was a line one, acd
deserved better game, but as our hun
ters bad mistaken a bunch of moes lor
a bear's bead, it was the best they
could get under the circumstances. Of
course they don't want any thing said
in the valley about this hunt.
—The Bellefonte Republican was
sold last week by the Sheriff, and
knocked off to Geo. Beaver, at S2OOO.
Brown has since sent out a circular
promising a paper early in January,
end talks of giving somebody fits
then. From the present outlook there
will shortly be two radical papers in
Bellefonte.

coaeb-makiog business will find a rare
chance offemi by referiog to an adver
tisement of Wm. Wolf, in another'

—We had about two inches of snow

in good earnest.
—W. A. Boa!, of Potter twp., killed a

Important Taw Decided
Ou Saturday the court of common
pleas of Laucaater county awarded
$3,000 to David Hauck, a drover, for
injuries received on the Pennsylva
nia railroad by a coal train running
into the rear of the train intheea >ooae
on which Mr. //avek was riding our
uight last June. For the plaintiff ii
was proven that on the night above
stated David Hauck was in the ta
boose of a cattle train, at Blaireville,
Indiana county, Pennsylvania, which
was taking in some horses for the east ;
that while this train was so engaged
another tmin came along, at the rat*
of seveuteen miles an hour, crushing
into the standing train and injuring
the plaintiff in the hip and breaking ■
rib, from which injury he has not en
tirely recovered ; that the flagman of
the stationary train did not go back
more than three hundred yards to
place his cautionary torpedo en the
rail, iustead of seven hundred yards,
as in accordance with the regulations ;
that the running of the secoud train,
contrary to standing orders, was more
than twice its regular speed, which is
regulated at this point at eight miles
an hour ; and that, raoreever, a tele-
Kpbic dispatch bad beeu sent to
rry, eight miles west of Blairsville,
that a car of horses would be taken ou
at the latter station. This latter tes
timony was given to show that the au
thorities at Derry knew that the train
would stop at Blairsville.
The defendant pleaded that the
plaintiff, traveling on a drover's tick
et, under *the act of 1868, was in the
capacity of an employee of the road,
and that they were not, therefore, lia
ble.
The court in their charge overruled
this point. The damages were aaaea.-
ed the usual amount, at SIO,OOO, but
th* court ruled that not over $3,000
could be recovered according to act of
legislature.
— Ad old woman Darned Mary
Doyle has been arrested in Chicago
for stealing valuable articles from St.
Peter's Catholic church. She would
perform her devotions daily with
great veneration in front of the alter,
and when do one was near,
would take some article and conceal
it under her shawl. She was finally
detected by a nun concealed to watch
all worshippers. In her house were
found two cassocks,a fine clock, pray
er books, candlesticks, and several
other articles of church property.
SEWING MACHINE PATENT.
It is generally known that the pat
ent for the Wheeler <fr W sewing
machine shortly expires. During the
last session of congress there were sev
eral unsuccessful efforts made to have
it extended, and the application for
an extension is itiil before the senate
committee on patents with little pros
pects of being reported this winter. In
case the application for an extension
is defeatea, it is thought that the price
sewing machines will be brought
down to twenty or twenty-five dol
lars.
In the testimony filed before the
committee, given by skilled mechan
ics, it is stated tbat the average cost of
manufacturing sewing machines i*
from seven to twelve dollars. This
machine is owned by what is known
as the Sewing Machine combination,
but the application for the extension
of the patent is in the name of A. B.
Wilson. Many of the smaller ma
chine companies oppose the extension.
There is on the bill before the com
roittee petitions signed by over twenty
thousand persons, many of whom
have from one to fifty machines in
operation in manufacturing establish-
men La, asking that the extension be
refused.
A NICK STATE OF AFFAIRS ON THE

the northern part of the State to take

Death of Edwin forrat, the Great

A GOOD MOVE. —The Democrats
of the Fourth Ward of Philadelphia
held a meeting on last Monday night
when resolutions were iutroduced and
passed almost unanimously expelling
Alderman Bill Mcifullen ana Bam
Josephs from the Democratic party on
account of their infamous conduct
and treachery at the late election.
This is a good move which will re
lieve the party from the odium it had
to bear on account of their connection
with it and will drive them into the
party to wnich they naturally and
properly belong. viz., the party which
foster such men as Cameron, Yerkes,
Hartranft, Evans, Marcer, et id genus
omne.
I ISIEOBTAKT DECISION. —The Phila
- delphia Public Record publishes the
t following: A case of practical ira
j portance to banks and all persons en
s gaged in buiiDsss, or in ths habit of
f receiving checks in settlement, was
lately decided by the court of com
, b9 p4cw ia tUi vKy. A geademau

October, 1866; was not indorsed ni
presented to the hank for payment for
ome time afterward, and then th
raving t-ller informed him that then
wa- but $229 to the credit of the part i
(taking the check. The holder of th
■heck demanded the payment of th •
immtnt ou account, and, on being rt
fused, offered to deposit to the cretin
•f the drawer of the check an amount
•utlicient, with the $229 to cover tin
tniount of the check ; hot this, also
the hank would not accede to. Tw
i t-ara subsctpteni the offer was re|>eel
si and again declined by the hauk.
I'he drawer of the check haviug diet)
ihout the time of the presentation ol
he check, the hank also refused to
pay his administrator, on the gruuno
•f the existence and the previous tie
iisnd for payment of the check. Tin
*ourl decided thai whore a holder ol
check offers to take a less sum thai
the full amount oi the check, it is tie
luiy of the bank to pay it to him ami
endorse the amount paid ou the check
We quote from the decisiou . "It
such a check is au appropriation ot
(he whole sum for which the check
calls, if so much is in the hauds of th
banker, it it an appropriation of any
smaller sum which umv be in hi*
hands if the-e be not sufficient to pay
he amount of the check. In such s

bolder a certificate of havicg received
