Sale of the I'oor House l ain;.
The Commissioners appointed for that
purpo.se disposed of the Poor House Farm
at public sale, oil Wednesday last, to Al
exander Morrison, of Kishacoquillas Val
lev. at 8125.29 per acre, making $25,540.80.
This, with the reservations made, isabout
s_'o,H) more than was offered at the previ
ous sale, at which the then bidder declin
ed to take it. Possession is retained of the
Poor House until December a year, and
the crop is also reserved.
A good deal of opposition was manifes
ted to the sale of this property, hut we be
lieve the day xvill come when its proprie
ty xvill he apparent to every taxpayer.
The accommodations in the present buil
dings. especially of a hospital character,
are totally inadequate, as grand juries
have time and again reported. To put up
any additional building would require an
additional lax, and this we are sure would
not he a" agreeable piece of news to the
taxpayers. As it is, the sum for which
the present property has been sold, xvill
be more than sufficient to purchase a
small farm or tract, well watered, (which
the present farm i 9 not) and put up sub
stantial buildings where the poor, includ
ing those heretofore kept at the asylum at
a heavy expense—about 8899 last year—
can be accommodated and classified better
than now, and leave a surplus of several
thousand dollars. The Commissioners
who have this matter in charge are i 11 ev
ery way unexceptionable, and will, with
out question, act for tiie public good.
Barn Burnt. —The barn of Col. John
McDowell, (deceased) in Armagh town
ship, xvas struck by lightningoll Wednes
day afternoon lust, and with nearly all its
contents consumed. It was tilled with
liay, grain, Ac. Col. McDowell's sons,
a- 1 xvell as the hands engaged on the farm,
had taken refuge in the gangway, and
were all more or less shocked, hut fortu
nately sustained uo serious injury. The
horsepower, drill and some other articles
were saved, but a grain separator with
many farming utensils xvere burnt, the
flames as usual having extended through
the whole interior in a few minutes. The
loss is probably not less than 89000, 011
which xx e hear there is an insurance of
82400.
Appointment of Teachers. —The follow
ing teachers were elected to conduct the
public schools of Dewistown, for the term i
commencing September 9th, 1807 :
Mary McCord, (High)
Jane A. Kerr,
Mary S. Shaw,
Kate E. Gwin 11,

The salaries are divided into four classes,
to xvit: 850, 84<, $3-5, and 830 per month.
Miss Gxvinn, one of the most aecom-j
plished teachers on the list, takes charge!
of the colored school.
What it Costs to Shoot a Dog on the Street.
—T he case of Henry Earl vs. William
Tinney—in which Ihe latter xvas charged
with -hooting a dog of the former, in a
street in the city—luis been settled, Mr.
Finney paying Air. Earl thirty dollars,
besides cost of prosecution, and paying!
the line of five dollars for shooting within '
the city limits. This case attracted eon- j
side-rathe attention, and now that it lias !
been settled our readers will be interested
to learn the conditions. — Jlarrusbury T> I
graph.
A great many people arc often heard to
say that they will shoot this or that thing
or person, but the above shows that it is a
very dangerous operation even to shoot a
dog 011 the street. In fact there are few j
casts except in self-defence where any!
pen-on i-.justified in using deadly weapons, |
and these are confined to the commission
of high penal offences. For instance, a
man would he justified in sliooting a
housebreaker at night, who hud entered,
or xva- endeavoring to enter by force; Gut;
to take a gun and shoot any person while 1
trespassing on a farm in day-time, would j
be Gut one degree removed from wilful j
murder. Even officers use this shooting j
privilege without justification, for it would
be an extreme case where the killing of a
man i- recognized as either necessary or
justifiable.

Court Proceedings.
The criminal business embraced the
j following cases, many of which ought
never to have been brought inside of the
! court house :
Com. vs. Eli W. Bush. Bound over to
i appear at next court.
Com. vs. Robert Vauormer. Passing
: counterfeit money. Bound over to next
court.
Com. vs. Fred. B. Smellier. Indict

to pay costs. Another bill against the
same parties was similarly returned and

to pay costs.

ter. Indictment maiming eat tie. Not a;
true bill, and Levi Peeht to pay costs.
Com. vs. Peter Johnson. Indictment
; selling liquor to minors, and on Sunday, j
and keeping a disorderly house. CTnilty,!
and sentenced to a fine of S2O, costs of
prosecution, and six weeks in jail.
[This xvas-a second conviction, he hav
ing been pardoned for the first. The tes-!
I timony exhibited a shocking depravity,
and showed how perverted the minds ot
; men and women may become as to the!
right of selling liquor. Mr. J. is an old
! grey-haired man, and will it is hoped
hereafter rule his household better than he
has.]
Com. vs. George Smith. Indictment |
I selling liquor to minors and keeping a
[disorderly house. Guilty on first count,
and sentenced to pay a line ol' 810, costs,
!and ten days in jail.
Com. vs. John Ross, Robert Roseubor
ougli, Michael Dillon, F. M. Siers, T. M.

[entry. Not a true bill, and Mrs. Ellen!
S McCoy, prosecutrix, to pay costs.
Com. vs. Samuel Pearson. Indictment
I rape and assault and battery with intent
ito commit a rape. Verdict, not guilty of;
[rape, but guilty of fornication. Defen
dant held 011 charge of fornication.
[ln this ease Judge Ranks, one of tie
associates, introduced the anomalous pro
cedure of making a second charge to the
jury. It might be a "right," but is one
whose exercise would be more calculated
to confuse than enlighten juries. Sup
pose. for instance, Judge Woods charged
a jury as to their duty and Judge Banks
took an opposite position, Judge Ro-s
might get up and say that both were
wrong, and then proceed to give A/*- views!
A jury in such a ease would lie in a nice
fix. We may here add that the general
conduct of Judge Ross, since his eleva
; lion to the bench, has been such as to;
| make friends of many who had appro-1
j bended he might merge his parlizanship
in the judgeship.]
Com. vs. Laura Bennett. Indictment

a fine of 81, costs, and to be sent to the

In the common pleas the case of Wheel

were in fux'or of a verdict for Winn from
the start, and that 110 change xx as made
in the poll up to their discharge.
Obstructing the River. — Import an t De
cision—Fish Jiaskets and Dams must be
llcmovcd. —Yesterday, upon the occasion j
of the trial of Jacob Gayman, for obstruct
ing the passage of fisli in the river by!
placing therein a fish basket and dam, in I
the vicinity of Dauphin, His Honor,
Judge Pearson, fully expounded the law
relative to the removal of obstructions
from the Susquehanna. In the course ot
bis remarks, the Judge asserted that tin
mere placing of a fisli basket and dam in
the river is a violation of the law, and a
failure to remove such obstructions, would
render their owner liable to prosecutions
and subject liini to all the penalties im
posed by the act referred to. Fishermen
should take warning from this decision,
and at once clear the river of all baskets
and dams therein. If it is not attended
to, suits will certainly be instituted
against all offenders. — Jlarrisbury Tel
