License has been granted the Centro Hall hotel for the sale of intoxicating liquors for another year. The opinion and decree of the Court in the case is appended : The applicant for eight or nine years has been the owner of what is known as the Centre Hall Hotel, situate in the thriving borough of the same name. This same building has been occupied as a hotel for a great many years, and a license has been granted by this court continuously to this place for probably thirty or more years. It*would, there- fore, require some positive evidence to show that there is no need for a hotel in such a place well known as a centre of business and other activities. For the first time for many years a remonstrance has been filed to the granting of this particular license, a remonstrance that has been signed by large numbers of the best citizens of the town and represent- ing probably a very large majority of its voters and property owners. Some of these signers have indicated by letter and otherwise to the Court that they would like to have withdrawn their names, but we do not countenance such practice unless it is shown that their signatures were obtained by fraud or deceit. We therefore agsume both from the number of signatures and the con- tents of the petition itself that there is a strong public feeling in Centre Hall in favor of local option. The petition does not allege any specific reasons why the license to Mr. Runkle should be refused, but relies upon the broad moral grounds that the petitioners do. not want a license to be granted to any one in their borough, We might have treat- ed this petition somewhat cavalierly but we ourselves have entire respect for the motives back of the petition, for the character of the petitioners themselves, and have some sympathy with their Decides That Sheriff Cannot Collect Foes for Summoning Jarors, While in Wellsboro Judge John Ormerod filed hls opinions in three important cases. Relative to one of them the Agitator says: In the vaee of ex-Bherifi Edward B. Dorsett against Tioga county on a case stated relative to the interpretation of the law as to whether the county is liable for the paymen' of a bill of about 2,800 mileage fees in summoning jurors extending through the whole term of Sheriff DBSrsstt. Judge Or. merod formerly decided that the coun- ty is not liab'a Mr, Dorsett filed ex- ceptions to that decision, and the opinion filed last week refused the ex- ceptions. It id probable that the case will be appealed to the Bupreme Court, as the matler is one affecting the sherifl’s fees in the whole state, and it is determined to have it finally ad- judicated and the meaning of the law fixed for all counties, Sr — i — A ———————— From Itlinols, E Hennigh, of Rantoul, Illinois, writes the Reporter a few paragraphs, Mr. Heonigh is at present in the east, and is spending part of the time with his sister, Mrs. Mary Rearick, in Cen- tre Hall.

William spent a short Stamm, time of Alloopa, in Boalsburg the same loxality for forty years and this inst year the crops were the shortest in my reeollection and respectable remonstrance we have tively that his application comes within the requirements of the law, namely, that he himself is a fit applicant, his house a fit building for a hotel, and that Centre Hall needs a hotel for the travel- ing public. Ten witnesses have been pryduced in favor of the petition, all to the effect that the applicant meets these three requirements of the law. There is no evidence to the contrary. We are therefore bound to find in favor of the petitioner on all three points. The powers of the Court of Quarter Sessions in granting or refusing license and the judicial discretion that may be exercised by this Court have been carefully deliminated that there remains no question as to what we are bound to do in this particular case. Our digcretion in granting and refusing licenses is a judicial one. We must refuse or grant licenses for the sale of liquors upon legal grounds. The law as it is at present does not recognize the power of the Court to refuse an application either because a Court itself is in favor of local option or prohibition or the sentiment of the community is because of moral reasons against the same, but only be- cause the application fails in any one of the three respects that are considered essentially prerequisite by our Supreme Court. Should the present Legislature pass a local option act of in any way grant greater discretion to the license courts, the question might present itself in an entirely different way than it does at present. As it is we feel bound to grant the license. In view of the very strong anti-license feeling held by large numbers of the very best people of the community, we think it advisable to call the attention of the applicant to the situation and to advise him that the circumstances sur- rounding his application require unusual care on his part to observe the require- ments of the law, to manage and con- duet his house in such a manner as not only to satisfy such legal requirements and the needs of the traveling public, but also not to affront the moral sense of the community in which he is con- ducting his business. ro ————— Interesting Lecture at Grange Arcadia, The Howard Creamery Corporation of this place have been fortunate enough to secure Prof H. E. Van Norman, of Penna. State College, to talk in Grange Arcadia, Friday even- ing, Febsuary 6th, on stock, stock feeding, milk, milk production, its care, ete. Prof. Van Norman is the foremost man in the state in this line of work and an opportunity to hesr himails a treat rarely afforded the public.

The wanage- ment of the Howard Creamery Is in- deed to be commended for their efforts in thus furthering the interests of their patrons, as this talk must be the source of much good to the producer of milk.
