COURT AFFAIRS—Second Week —The following civil cases, both very lengthy, oc cupied the time of the Court during the entire week, and were the only ones disposed of John S. Miller vs. The Penna. R. 11. Com pany. This was an action brought by John S. Mil ler, hotel keeper, in this place, against the Penna. Railroad Company to recover in dam ages for loss sustained by the burning and damaging of his property in the Exchange Hotel on the 12th day of April, 1870, the plain tiff.alledging that the same was occasioned by sparks or cinders negligently emitted and thrown upon the roof of the building by a passing locomotive. The questions entering into the case were, first, whether the building was fired in the manner alleged, and second, whether it was done negligently, or for want of reasonable and ordinary care on the part of the company or its employees. To sustain the allegation of the plaintiff, a large amount of evidence was offered, all of which was circum stantial, no one having seen the sparks falling upon or igniting the roof, but the weight of the evidence seemed to be far towards estab lishing the Part. A neighboring building had been fired almost at the same moment; sparks and pieces of cinder had been seen falling on the opposite side of the building, a few mo ments before; the engine, which was used as a "shifter" on the Broad Top and Central roads, was seen passing down, moving slowly, laboring hard and throwing a large amount of fire and sparks when going through town ' • there had been no fire inside the hotel iti — lthe time, and no other way of accounting for the fire than on the hypothesis that the roof was fired by sparks from the passing engine. On the part of the defense, they suggested, - and a number of witnesses called to support it, that the fire must have originated under the roof, and was not therefore caused by sparks or cinders falling on it. This was sur ported by the testimony of a number of wit nesses to the effect that when first seen by them,the smoke was coining up through the shingles, before the fire was discovered on the surface of the roof. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that there was negligence in the use of the engine, and that it was unskilfuly used, and from these causes an unusual amount of fire was unnecessarily thrown, which would be such an evidence of negligence as would render the company liable, while on the 'part of the defense it was claimed that the engine was in good condition, with the usual spark arrestzr, and in the only gate that it could be used, to prove which a — number of witnes ses including the employees engaged in run ning the engine at the time, were called and examined, the amount of whose testimony was that the engine was in good order and run with the usual amount of care. Thirty-seven witnesses were examined in the course of the trial, which commenced on Monday afternoon, the case going to the jury on Thursday evening. The jury after being out about two hours returned a 'verdict in favor of the defendant, for $2705. Counsel for plaintiff, Messrs. Petrikin, Speer, and Caldwell. The defense was conducted by Mr. Dorris. M'Douald & Co., vs. Nicholas Lewis. Thii was an action brought by an Ohio Manufacturing Company through their agent, John Ross, to recover the price of a patent reaper and mower, sold to the defendant, Nicholas Lewis, a farmer residing in Tyrone township, Blair county, which the defendant alleged was worthless, and which he on that account refused to pay for. The trial of the case lasted two days, during which some thirty witnesses were examined. The question was one entirely for the jury, as to whether the plaintiffs had fulfilled their part of the con tract, and in so doing were entitled to recover. A verdict was rendered in favor of the plain tiffs, for $203,10, being the amount of the reap er with interest from the time it was delivered. Speer for plaintiff. S. S. Blair and Petrikin for defendant. SENTENCED.-Johu Elliott, convicted of the larceny of a watch, last week, was sentenced to the Penitentiary for one year. Hannah Huff, convicted of assault and bat tery upon Bridget Meehan, was sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and the costs of prosecution. HOW TO PATENT LANDS.—Long as this county has been settled, there is still a considerble amount of land within its limits which has never been patented. For the in formation of any who may desire to perfect their titles, we publish the following directions as to the propeNtethod of procedure in pat enting lauds : I. The patent must issue to the actual own er of the land or party holding title under the warrantee, or to the executors, trustees, or heirs and legal representatives of the person in whom title was vested at death, or to the guardians or minor children of the deceased. IL Warrantees who remain the owners of the land warranted and surveyed to them, can. obtain patents in their own names (if no ca veat remains undetermined without furnish ing any brief or statement of title, upon pay ment of back purchase money, interest and fees. Executors, trustees and guardians re- I presenting the warrantee, or his heirs, who apply for patents, should produce evidence of their appointment as such. IV. When the land has passed Out of the ownership of the original warrantee, or party who took out the office-right, the appiicant for patent will be requiredto furnish evidence of ownership. V. The present owner of a part of a tract of land surveyed in pursuance of any given war rant, desiring to have a patent in his own name; can obtain it by having the county surveyor make return of survey of such part. The applicant will only be required to pay his proportion of the whole amount due upon the tract, with fees. Evidence of ownership to accompany application. VI. When an unpatented original tract has been sold and sub-divided, the several present owners may unite in an application for patent and statement of title, and upon payment of amount due, with patent and other fees, a patent will issue to them, the said applicants, their heirs and assigns, according to their re spective rights and interests, without setting forth the particular interests of each. VII. In cases where it is difficult to submit the evidence of title required by this office in order to obtain a patent, any one or more of the owners of an unpatented tract can, through this Department, discharge the lien against said tract by the payment of the purchase money, interest and fees shown to be due by the land-lien docket, and the interest since ac crued, and a patent can at any time afterwards issue to those entitled to it upon proof of ownership. VIII. The accounts in the lien docket are calculated to June 1, 1868. If to the amount due, as shown in its proper column, there be added the interest accuring from June 1,1868, to the date of forwarding the docket to the prothonotary, at the rate given in the column of rate per cent. of interest, and on this sum interest be calculated at the rate of six percent from the time of forwarding the docket until the date of the apple: lion for patent, it will give the amount requires. to procure a patent. Sec 2d sec., act of 20th May, 1864 JUMPING ON MOVING TRAINS.—A lad named Chris. Coble was arrested yesterday by officer Abraham Roat, and arraigned before the Mayor, charged with jumping on and off moving freight trains at the imminent risk of his life and severe injuries. He was commit ted to prison for ten days, the extreme penalty of the law. It is to be hoped this example will have a salutary effect on those boys ad dictedlo the dangerous practice, and exercise a restraining influence upon their actions. The Mayor is determined to check the evil if possible, and the severest punishment will be visited upon those guilty, and brought before him.—State Journal. LEFT WITHOUT CEItEMONY.—John Houck, who has been in quarters at Fort Neely, for some time, got a grappling hook, tied his bed cord to it, threw it over the wall and with or without assistance, scaled the wall and left. Joy go with him. May . the town never see him again, is the prayer of all good citizens. Alpacca Poplins of all colors, Figured Reps, Poplins, &c., a good assortment, at Glazier & Bro.'s. [ang.3o-2w TERRIBLE KEROSENE ACCIDENT.— Three Persons Fatally Burned and Three Others Seriously Injured.=On Tuesday evening of last week, a distressing accident, resulting from an attempt to replenish a kerosene oil lamp, occurred at the house of Joseph McGar vey, near Kittanning Point, some five miles from this city. The particulars, as we learn them from Wm. McGarvey, who resides near by, and who arrived at the house shortly after the accident, are about as follows : On the evening named, Mrs. Brown, eldest daughter of Joseph IticGarvey, with three sistars—two of them young women and the other half grown and a little brother, were together in a room on the first floor of the house, when Mrs. 8., proceeded to fill a kerosene lamp with oil. Notwithstanding the fact that the wick of the lamp had been extinguished, and the only light in the room was some distance off, the oil can, containing near half a gallon of oil, together with the lamp, suddenly exploded, completely saturating the clothing of Mrs. Brown and her youngest sister, (who was standing by her side) with the fluid, which at once ignited and enveloped them in flames. The little girl was picked up by an elder sister who carried her out of the house, laid her down on the grass and attempted to tear the clothes from her person, but before she succeeded in doing so, the flames had done their work on the head and body of the little unfortunate one. She lived but a few hours after the accident, death kindly relieving her of her sufferings. The sister who carried her out was quite severely burned on the hands and arms in her endeavors to tear away the burning clothing. When ars. Brown's clothing took fire, she instantly ran up stairs to her husband, who was in bed, seized a comfort and threw it around her, and endeavored to smother the flames. In this, however, he was unsuccess ful. The comfort caught fire, and for a time added to the flames. Suffocated by the smoke and heat, Mrs. B. fell insensible to the floor, where she laid until all her clothing was burned away, and her flesh literally roasted on her bones. !Jr. Brown was so badly burned in his attempt to smother the flames, and so much suffocated by the smoke that he could render her no assistance after she fell. The neighbors, who were attracted by the screams of the family, and came to their relief, found her just where she fell. Her injuries were of such a nature that although Dr. Henderson was immediately summoned no relief could be afforded, and she died some three hours there after, without being restored to consciousness. The twe were buried iu Fairview Cemetery on Thursday afternoon. As intimated, Mr. Brown w as severely burn in his efforts to save his wife. His hands, feet and legs were blistered, but his greatest injury was over his bowels and stomach, and most likely, the inhaling of smoke and flame. Dr. Henderson gave hint-every attention, and did all in his power to relieve his suffering, but the flames had done their work with him, and death relieved him of further misery at four o'clock on Saturday morning, and on Saturday evening he was laid beside his wife and her sister in Fairview Cemetery. Mr. 13. was known to many of our citizens, having formerly been employed in the R. R. Compa ny's Blacksmith shop. The little boy referred to, was, at the time of the explosion, sitting on the end of the ta ble where the lamp was being filled. A por tion'of the burning fluid falling upon his right cheek, shoulder and arm, burned severely. Ile succeeded in quenching the fire before other parts of his clothing ignited, after which he exhibited a coolness and presence of mind which would have done credit to an older head; and which certainly saved the house from being burned. While all the family were screaming and in confusion, be extinguished the fire unon himself, then hurriedly secured a bucket of water, and when the neighbors arrived he was dashing water upon the window case and the papering on the wall, which had been fired by buzning fluid, and had the flames near about extinguished. Such coolness and presence of mind, in one so young, amid such scenes, deserves special mention and a re ward. The other sister who was present, was also burned about the arms, bands and face, in her endeavors to afford relief to those whose clothing had taken fire. It is really sickening to contemplate the agony which these unfortunate persons must have endured, and we hope it may be long ere we shall again be compelled to record such a disaster.—Altoona Tribune. CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AGRICUL TURAL SOCIETY: The Third Annual Exhibition of this Society (formerly Altoona Park Asso ciation), will be held at the City of Altoona on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 1871 1 The grounds are the largest and most complete, and the driving course equal to the best, in the State.

A REALLY GOOD INVENTION.—It is very seldom we commend to the public in this way patent improvements and inventions, which belong more properly to our advertise ing columns. What we have to commend, however, so deeply concerns the health, •hap piness and comfort of our American women, that we make no apology for giving it our most emphatic approval and endorsement. The invention referred to is the great Ameri can Washer, which is claimed to be in every conceivable respect superior to any other "washer" extant. It is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most easily operated, and is not at all liable to get out of order. Its construction is so simple, that even a child can be successfully taught to operate in a creditably short space of time. Some of the most prominent and desirable features in this "washer," which is an induce ment in itself, are worthy of especial commen dation. They are these: It is always ready for use; there is no adjusting; no screws to confuse or annoy, and no delay whatever in adapting it. Everything seems to have been done that ingenuity could suggest; and in our estimation it is simply a practical, sensible and beautiful invention, and requires to be seen to be appreciated, which cannot fail to please the taste of the most fastidious.—Phil adelphia Weekly Press. ON Monday night a burglar attempted to rob the store at Martha Furnace, on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, kept by a man named Thompson, by attempting to effect an entrance through the transom over the door. Mr. Thompson heard the noise, and fired ono shot out of his revolver, intending to frighten the burglar away. On opening the door the next morning, he discovered the burglar lying dead, shot through the head. He seemed to have been standing upon a barrel, with his head in position to receive the shot. A letter directed to Miss Anna Robinson, Pittlburgh, was found upon his person, but nothing to identify Wm.—Altoona Tiibune. Tin PUBLIC SCHOOLS.—The public schools of this borough will open, for the Winter Session, on Monday next. The schol ars have had a long vacation, and they should enter upon the studies of the cession before them with renewed energy and a determina tion to improve their minds to their utmost capacity. Every scholar should make it a point to be on hand the first day of the session in order that the classes may be immediately formed and the machinery of the different de partments put in working order as speedily as possible. LITERARY N OTIC ES.—The American Exchange and Review, for August, has found its way to our table. It is a serial devoted es• pecially to Finance, Mining and Metallogy, Insurance, Railways and Transportation, Man ufactures, Patents, Trade, Commerce, Art, Joint Stock Corporations, Interests, Physics and Social and Economic Science, and we judge from the number befor us that it fulfils its mission well. It is published by the Re view Publishing and Printing Company, N. W. Cor. Walnut and Fourth streets, Philadel, phis. at $3 per annum. CHICAGO'S GREAT SHIP CANAL.—J. C. Blair, Esq., of this place, having taken con siderable interest in the project to connect Chicago with the Mississippi river, by means of a Canal large enough to admit the passage of heavy Steamboats, wrote to the Mayor of that city for a minute statement of the plan adopted, and in reply, the Mayor sent him the following detailed statement, which is very clear and satisfactory : Oman°, August 21, 1871. _ _ _ J. C. BLAIR, Ese.—Derir 86 :—Yo . ur favor of the 17th, is at hand this morning. The original plan of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which extends from Chicago to LaSalle, on the Illinois river, was to make this cut as it has now been done and to feed the Canal from Lake Michigan. The State prosecuted the work on that plan from 1836 to 1840, I think, until it failed, and State Bonds were sold in New York at 1.6 cents on the dollar. Then a plan was got up by the Bondholders to finish the Canal and have entire control of it until they were paid. It was found then, on examination, that it would cost near $3,- 000,000 to finish it on the Deep Cut plan, but by having one lock of 8 feet lift at Chicago, and substitute Feeders and Pumping Wors for the supply of water, the Canal egad be 'put in operation for about $1,500,000. This amount, or something like it, the Bondholders advanced and the Canal was completed in 18481 think. Some six years ago a commission of Engin eers was appointed to recommend a plan for purifying the Chicago River, which, owing to the discharge of Sewers into it, had become very offensive. This Board of Engineers among a good many plans recommended the excavating of the Canal according to the orig inal plan so as to feed from the Lake and a little descent was made in the Canal so as to make a current of about one mile per hour, which was sufficient to empty our entire river from the Lake to the Canal four times a day. This work was accomplished in the early part of July, and the water of Lake Michigan was turned westward on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Our river was then very offensive indeed, but in 24 hours there was a very marked change and in a few days the water in the river was comparatively pure, and in a sanitary point of view it is a great blessing to Chicago. The cut is about 26 miles long and an average depth below the bottom of the old Canal of about 9 feet, and that part that was widened was an average of 16 or 18 feet in depth—about 8 or 9 miles of the distance is through solid rock. It creates a magnificent water power at the west end of the cut, hav ing Lake Michigan for its reservoir to draw from. The next move will be to widen this Canal and make slack-water navigation from its west end 26 miles to LaSalle, so as to bring Mississippi steamers to Chisago, and this will be done at no very distant day. The Illi nois river from LaSalle to its junction with the Mississippi is now being improved by Dams and Locks and in a few years we shall have uninterrupted navigation between Chica go and St. Louis during the whole season, whereas heretofore there has only been good navigation for about two months in the year at high water. I have written this hastily in my office, but it will give you a general idea of what has been done. Very respectfully, R. B. MASON, Mayor. KISSING THE Boos.— Mr. Editor : While on a short visit to the Court during the late session, I observed that every witness sworn kissed the book. FrOm previous visits, as well as from the testimony of others, and observation on this occasion, I infer, that this is a common method of swearing in your court. And truly the old book—Bible if it be—that is used, gives evidence of being well kissed, as the back is worn off, so that it has to be tied up with a cord. Now why is it in this protestant county of Huntingdon, so many adopt this papal manner of swearing, rather than the Scripture jesture—the uplifted hand? Some I apprehend do so thoughtlessly, with out ever considering whether it is right or wrong; some through the influence of custom, they have seen others do so and they imitate them ; and others may think that it sh +ws high reg-rd for the solemnity of an oath. But lam persuaded that no intelligent protestant would corrupt the ordinance of the oath in this way, it he once had his attention properly turned to the matter. The oath is an ordinance of God—an act of worship—and to be accept able to him, must be administered according to the divine appointment. The teaching of the Saviour is applicable to this, as well as to every other religious rite. "In vain do ye worship me teaching for doctrines the com mandments of men." ,- 105 00 GO 00 57 00 The form of an oath most frequently recog nized in Scripture is the uplifted hand. God himself is represented as adopting this form, as in Deu. 32. 40, For I lift up my hand to Heaven, and say, I live forever. The angel of the covenant, adopted the same form, Rev. 10, 5,6, And the angel lifted up his hand to Heav en and swore by Hint that liveth forever and ever—that there should be time no longer. And man generally used the same, Gen. 14: 22, 23 And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I have lifted up my band to the Lord, the most high God—that I will not take anything that is thine. Many other passages might be quoted to the same effect. That the Scrip ture does recognize this gesture there can be no doubt. But persons will search the Scrip tures in vain, for any recognition of the form of Kissing the Book. It is entirely a haman invention, and without any authority from Him who appointed the ordinace of the oath. But to see fully the impropriety of this practice, we must remember that ;t has a history. The practice of kissing, as an act of worship, has been in bad company. It is a heathen idolo trous rite. The heathen, ages ago, adopted the practice of kissing their idol gods. And when the Israelites, in the time of Jeroboam, introduced idolotry, they worshiped after this manner, and kissed the calves that were set up at Bethel and Dan. And when the Lord describes his seven thousand hidden ones, in the days of Ahab, they were those that had not bowed the knee to the image of Baal, nor kissed him. And when idolotry was again introduced at the rise of the Roman anti-Christ, we find this practice again in company wiht it, kissing the book in the mass, kissing the Pope's toe, &c. Here we see the origin of book kissing in the idolatrous rite of the mass. Now let Protestants open their eyes to the fact that boot kissing is an idolatrous papal rite and then ask themselves if they are justifiable in using it? This practice with many other remnants of Popery survived the Reformation, but was severely condemned by the Reformed churches and divines of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The National Synod of the Reformed Church in France, assembled in Gapp, 1803, decided that this practice was of dangerous consequence and should not be followed. The sentiment of the Protestant world to-day is against it, and why should it be practiced ? It is a vio lation of God's law, and certainly intelligent christians should be startled not only at this, but they should be strrtled when they think of the company with which they class them selves. SABBATH SCHOOL Plc-NIC.—Mr. Edi tor Shaver's Creek, a mile or so above Petersburg is a Tannery, near that Tannery is a grove ; and in that grove on Saturday, the 19th inst., there was a pic-nic. It was gotten up by the "Bethel Sunday School." There was a multitude of people there ; old and young, from babes in arms to old men leaning upon their staves. The people came in all kinds of conveyances, but a feature of the day was great wagon-loads of people, the wagons festooned with spruce and flowers. The day was lovely; so were the ladies. The cakes and flowers were sweet; so we suppose were the kisses which the young men got— we, being old, got none. There was fine sing ing by the school, and fine swinging also. A prayer was offered and an address made by the Rev. J. C. Wilhelm. The address was based upon something like the following form ula : S. S. S. Sunday School Scholars, Singing Sweet Songs, Search the Sacred Scriptures, Seek their Soul's Salvation, Stay the Serpent Sin, Serve their Sovereign Savior. Because the Serpent Stings the Soul, and the Saviour Se cures its Safety. Besides the stand, which was beautifully decorated, stood a neat and handsome white banner with the word "Bethel" on one side, and on the other the motto ' 1 In God we Trust," in gold letters, surrounded with stars of gold and bows of red and blue ribbon. The dinner had to be eaten to be appreciated. We will not tantalize your readers appetites by a description of it. The exercises concluded with croquet and various evolutions to which the young flolks are addicted on such occa sions. The whole affair passed off pleasantly, and everybody went home delighted.

R. R. LANDS.— The “Burlington Route," so called, lies right in the path of the Star of Empire. It runs almost immediately in the center of the great westward movemenkof emigration. Crossing Illinois and lowa, it strikes the Missouri river at three points. These three points are the gateways into three great sections of the trans-Missouri re gion. . . . . _ The Northern gate is Omaha, where the great Pacific road will take you to the land of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per petual summer. The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south of the Platte river, a region unsurpassed on the continent for agriculture and grazing. Just here are the B. & M. Railroad lands, con cerning Geo. S. Barris, the land officer at Burlington, lowa, can give you all informs tion, and in the heart of them is Lincoln, the State Capital and present terminus of the road. The Southern gate leads to Kansas, by con nections with the St. Joe Road at Hamburg, running direct to St. Joe and Kansas City. The trains of the Burlington run smoothly and safely, and makl all connections. It run the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and Pullman dining cars, and should you take the journey for the journey's sake alone, you will be repaid; or take it to find a home or a farm and you cannot find either better than among the B. Jr K. lands, where you can buy on ten years' credit, and at a low price. tf. HUNTINGDON MARKETS.
