AMauch Chunk correspondent says of Judge Henry 13. Packer, thoBucccsaer of his father, the late Asa Packer, ns lay awoclateJudRO of Carben county, that im (n almost continually en the bench and very altcntlve te the discharge of Us duties. It may probably Beem strange te many persons that a gentleman of Mr. Parker's wealth and varied and wide reaching business interests should accept the place of associate Judge in the llttle county of Carben, nnd that even having taken It, he should give te the discharge of ita duties the assiduous attention which is related of htm. lint It is greatly te ids credit that he se fitly discharges this act of respect te his revered father' memory and te the com. munity of which he and Ills Interests are sucli a large part. The position of assoclate judge is ene that is underrated in popular appreciation only becausa of the understze of the men who se often are chosen te it. It u ra.it I v ene of dignity nnd if properly niied its incumbent rentiers vuiuauiu public sorvlce. It is net a commendable feature of the new constitution that n se many counties of the state entitled te be separate judicial districts the enice has been abolished and this connecting link between the legal judiciary and thu peeple has been broken. In counties where there is new but a single judge, he has such unllmlted absolute powers in mattorsef discretion as are scarce.y known te any ether public etllce under our governmental system, nnd It would be much better te have his pewera tem pered, by the advice and co-erdlnato authority of the old fashioned " slde judges," taken from the body of laymen, in matters where strong common sense nnd a practical knowledge of every day llfe are mere essential te "distributive justice" than the refinements or legal lore. TV Iw sure in mauy counties where the office is still in existence the men vir'iri am nlnatfi 1 te the place are net chosen with regard te their fitness for it: but this is no mere reason for con demnation of the institution than is the incapacity of the average juror a valid argument against the jury system. Net long age the attention of the whole country was drawn te the service upon a quarter sessions jury in Philadelphia df se eminent a man as Mr. Randall, and it had the geed efTect of recalling popular attention te the fact thnt the way te elevate the jury system was sim ply te get batter men into the jury box. If the example of Mr. Packer, president of a great railroad and one of Pennsyl vanla's millionaires, patiently, Indus trieusly and Intelligently discharging the honorable aud responsible duties of aswclate judge will rehabilitate this or itte in deserved esteem his service and himself will be doubly honored and a public benefaction will have teen wrought. is found that is net conspicuous in the pollce annals of the city.

"The moral sense can iiover be made te rise up against the inere having or drinking of wice or whisky as it does against drunkenness aud drunkard mak ing. It may be natural for the prehibi tienist, iu his lieroe wrath, te leso sight of this distinction, and in deep abhorrence of the curse of intemperance, te wish, by oje stroke of the law, te sweep out of existence the material substance which tlie drunkard drinks and the rtimscller sails. Out, all the same, the great law remains that nothing mero may safely be prohibited than tbe tiling itself which is te be probibited, and that whatsoever gees beyond this is ultimately injurious and net beuefieial. Tbe certainty el a roaetion sooner or later ; tbe debauching and demera'izing of tbe moral sentiment of the peeple, which is the real, ultiraate seurce of all prohibiting energy and power, and tbe bringing about thus of a list state of affairs werse than the first: such are corae of the dangers which at tcud the attempt te make a prohibition stronger than it may legitimately be made."

The charity under the charge of the order of St. Prancls recommends itself te the cordial support of tills community The simple purpose 13 te take charge of the sick, who may offer themselves at the hospital. Anyone wh is ill will be received without fee or reward ; al though as It is designed te be a hospital, and net a home, it offers only a temporary refuge. These suffering with contagious diseases will be attended at their homes, but will net be received into the hospital. While no compensation is demanded contributions are solicited for the sup port of the charity and, of course, all who can affeid it will be expected te pay for the accommodations they get. This charity is of ceurse ene that the county is supposed te meet in its hn3.1l tal. But it is net fully met. We proba preba proba blyhave as geed a hospital in Lancaster county ns anywhere in the state j and if all hospitals were ns geed they would ba very beneficent creatieiis. Our hos pital is a geed Institution ; but the .St. Francis' hospital under the ministration of the sisters of that order is likely te offer a mero grateful harbor te tlie af flicted. There is amide room for both hospitals In our midst ; and certainly 110 charity can be mero worthy of enceur agementthan that which offers shelter, support and nursing te the sick. It is a charity even te the rich te eiler them such a benefaction ; for there U nothing harder te get than a skillful nnd devoted nurse In sickness. One thing that is very much wanted iu tins com munity is a training school for nurses, Buchasare common in New England, where nursing is a profitable profession te men aud women who have been edu cated for their business in schools. It is very surprising that geed nurses should be se few here where they are In great demand. Tlie law of supply and de. mand ought te furnish what is se much wanted. Probably tlie establishment of this branch of the St. Francis' soclety here may meet the want, though we de net knew tiiat it is the intention te send nurses into private families wlien de sired. That probably is net u part of the desigu, though it might be made se, -we should think, profitably te the hos pital charity nnd te the citizens. Twe recent fires, ene at the deer of a New Yerk theatre imperilling the lives of a large nuuience, and the ether m a Waterbury (Conn.) public school, call fresh attention te the necessity of taking efficient precautions against this devastat ing clement.

The stair cascj are of brick with concreto steps, aud are wide enough aud numerous enough te afford leady exit te .1 large audience. Even tlie division of thu boxes is of con crete Iu faet, there is no woodwork whatover in tlie thoatre. A solid wall separates the stage from tbe proscenium Willi au opening 40 feat wide. OT theso sifety previsions the wide staircases are probably the most impertaut, as morn casualties result from in tdequate means of exit in a panic than from actual fires. Fire3 fortumtely are few, but the pessi. bility of a panic is never absent. The stock mnrket is getting ham mered se severely as te cause tlie fear upon the part of the timid that there 1b no bottom anywhere.

At the Penn iron works yesterday in prcsence of representatives of the press aud stockholders of the Iiote automatie brake company, a practical test of the workings of the brake wero made ou a full sized gondola car. A description of the brake and the admirable working of a small sUcd medel of it was printed iu the Intp.m.iekxci:ii seme time age. The test yesterday was evcu mero satisfactory. The inventor, Mr. C V. llete, expects te Lavothecar with brake attached, placed upon the read lu about eight days when its adaptability te the work tt is expected te perferm will be mero fully shown. It is perfectly automatic, locks and unlocks the brakes without the aid of brakomeu; works equally well whother the train is going forwards or baekwarks ; is at all times uuder oeraploto control of the engi neer, though, uulike the ordinary air brake, it is entirely discouneotod from the ongine the brake en oaeh car being ontlrely independent of theso en otiier ears in the same train ; thus, if an accldent should liappen teauy 0110 of the brakes nene of the ethers would be nffoetcd by It.
