While apples are not bringing big prices this season, the net returns from the acres devoted to the orchards will, no doubt, be more than any other acres on the farms, A rather novel case was heard in the Clinton county courts, last week, when James Cornelias brought suit a= gainst the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., charging the company was responsible for bim losing his job at the Gleason ton brick works. Corpeliue was in” toxioated some time ago and was denied the privilege of boarding = train at Lock Haven, and the to reach his post of duty osused him to lose his job, #0 he testified. The court took a different view, the company was not responsible for bis lose. Why not get after the land. lord who sold him the jag.
