—The council* of Wiiiiamsport, have
passed an ordinance to refund the city debt
by issuing four percent ten-twenty bond*,
by which they not only expect to redeem
their credit, but to relieve the people of
onerout burden*. Thi* example might be
worthy of imitation in other lax-ridden
communities. Our own borough of Belle
fiito need* relief in thi* direction a* much
a* any place of equal extent and popula
tion in America, and it may be pertinent
| to inquire why our borough authorities do
not institute tome measure to leeen the in
terest tax which form* no prominent a fea
ture in the corporate burden*. We have
intelligent buiinea* men in our council,
elected for their intelligence and ability to
grasp the necessities and provide such
mean* a* will add most to the comfort and
prosperity of the people they represent.
Accepting the tru*t, comprehend* theduty,
and the public affair* should receive the
same intelligent attention that would be
given to their own private affair* under
embarra**ment.

wa* promptly bitten in the leg for hi*
pain*. He wa* very angry and swore he

shoot tho cur on sight. "Don tdo that,'
said hi* owner, "ho is not mad "Not ,

the genial and obliging ho*l of the Bush
House, set out a splendid tut tie soup lunch
to a large numlier of invited guest*. The

ly relished hy all preeent. Mr. Teller will
maintain his reputation a* one f the most
accomplished hotel keepers in thi* section ]
of Pennsylvania and since he ha* l>een in
charge of the Bush House that large and j
elegant hotel has had a large run of pa- {
tronage.
—Competition is the life ol trade, and the
trader who keep* the best good* and the
neatest store will always draw the patron
age. Kspocially is thia true of 11. Hechler

large competition in the same line of busi
ness, they still continue conducting their
businra* in the same ruerraful manner
which has always characterised them.

others last week and attempted to turn the

Tha other results were entirely satisfactory.

A l.xssnv TO JTRVMEX Judge Mayer
last week administered a severe rebuke to
a Clinton county jury in the cae of F.llis
L. Grvis against Ario Pardee. The I<ock
Haven Hrj-uhltmn give* the following ac
count of the ess-- and the scene between
Judge and jury when the verdict wa* ren
dered
"The rase wa* an ejectment for a tract
of land along the line fsetween Centre and
Clinton counties, and depended upon three
question* First, wa* the a**ra*ment. upon
which it wa* sold for taxe in Clinton
county r<qjul*r ; Second, i* the line run in
IH4S, or the one run in ISS9 the true divi
sion line between Clinton and Centre coun
tie# , and third, d'sra the tract in dispute
lie east or west of the line of IW#. The
Judge, in his charge, decided a* a matter
of law that the assessment wa* regular and
the sale valid, and that the line run in
IHA9 i* the true division line between the
two counties, leaving nothing to the jury
to find except whether the tract is east or
west of thi* line. On thi* question how
ever, there wa* nodipule, a* the surveyor*
on both side* testified, and the defence ad
mitted, that the land i* East, of the line of
IfLMt. No one who heard the charge of
the Court supposed that the jury would be
more than a few minute* in making up a
verdict for the plaintiff, a* the Court had
left them little or no discretion in the
matter. But ir.*led of coming in at once,
they tayed nut until 2 o'clock in the morn
ing'and'then agreed upom a verdict for the
defendant.
"When they came into the Court room
to deliver their verdict, H. T. llarvey, of
the plaintiff's counsel arose, and A*ketl the
Court to direct the Jury to find a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, Mr. Praia, defend
ant's attorney began to talk about the
province of the Court and jury, but Judge
Mayer promptly ordered the jury to find
for "the plaintiff and remarked to them,
among other thing* equally strong, that he
would never have allowed them to leave
the box had he supnosed that they would
find a verdict In sucn direct opposition to
their Instructions, and that aa he wis
sworn to administer the law a# he found It,
he props#ed lo teach the Jury that while
he sat on the hench they could not make
up a verdict, and un*ettle titles in open
violation of law and In disregard of every
principle of Justice."
