Postmaster General Wanamker re. ceived a letter postmaster New York, March 24, enclosing a $1000 United States go'd note, and one $500 gold note which the sender desires him to place to the credit of the congeienge fund. The sender save years ago ba deranged the government of gnite a large samy of mon. #7. Binee then the matter hag lain very heavily on hig conscience, and as he sas wade a little money he sends it to the government. The $1500, he says, i« 25 per cent over and above the amount taken: He pities any thief, he saye, if he must pass through the anguish of mind that he the sender hae, No name ie sigoed 1g the Iptigr, 812,800 Damages. The verdict of the jury in the Belle fonte and Lewistown Tarnpike case, awards the company $12,800 damages for the vacation of the road from Belle~ fonte to the Seven Mountaine—a dis. tance of about 15 or 16 miles, This falls upon the county, and nato- rally causes a murmer of surprise and discontent. Tue entire cost of the pike to Lewistown, was some 35000, of which the State paid $20,000. For 30 or 40 years it paid large dividends, but in the last eight or tan vears it was worth nothing, and th: part for which the jury awarded damages iu tue above enormous sum, can not be sold today for $2,000, as there is no travel on it that pays at all On the eight miles from Centre Hall to Bellefonte there has been a dividend of $1 per share of $50. On the part from Centre Hall to the mountains it is utter. ly worthless so far as any income is cons cerned, and does not pay to keep it up. Hence the proper award of the jary should have been the present value of the once profitable road, which in years past has paid itself over and over, The writer of this article some years ago was offered stock free of charge if he would agree to bear a share of ex penses to keep up the pike. It won!d appear that this case was badly handled and neglected by the County Commissioners, who acted on the part of the tax payers. Commissioner Henderson was heard to say, after the rendering of the verdict that he knew nothing about the matter and never gave it any attention, and Mr, Decker who travels the road every week to eit in the Commissioners’ office, of course, like in all other things pertaining to the county, knew nothiag either, con- sequently the conaty is socked $12 800 ! There was crimioal n egligence some where, as no one along this entire pike would give $2,000 for it today, and the present value only is what the jury should have considered. The company is entitled to what ia fair and right in the present value of this road. The verdict is like paying new price for an utterly worn-out wagon, in which there would be neither reason nor cominon sense, Vive la Commissioners ! —— —— The anti-Trust Bill.
