—One af the most astonishing achieve

The married couple will settle at Grand

—The Ladies' Mite Society which meet*
once in two weeks ha* become one of the
pleasant social institutions of the town. It
is ostensibly a society formed by the ladies
of tha Presbyterian Church to collpct by
tmall and convenient contribution* a fund
for worthy object*, but bat really been
made the mean* of social entertainment of
others, irrespective of secular division, to
<H>mmlng*e in most joyous and friendly re
lation*. We have attended one or two of
these parties and will vote all tho time for
auch gathering* of the people, where all
feel upon an equality and free from the for-
BielltlM of more pretentious assemblies.
—ln no country in tho world is Micro as
littlo attention paid to marriage, except
in tho performance of tho ceremony iUelf,
at in our own. Thero I* absolutely no
safeguard, legally insisted upon, to prevent
a minister, unacquainted with tho parlies,
from performing this most •acred rite, for
applicant* totally inolligibie. The many
disastrous termination* of marriages con
summated in this manner is evidence suf
ficient that a marked chango is needed.
That parties interested may bo put in
possession of all facts bearing upon tho
case, tho intention of tho parties to enter
into this contract, that is understood to be
binding for life, should bo publicly an
nounced! either from tho pulpit, or, if
that bo impracticable, through tho press.
Tho multiplicity of divorce* granted, tho
innumerable cases of desertion, the into),
erable domestic unhappiness and tho num
erous hearts broken by unhappy marriages,
would be decreased, to say nothing of the
additional reverence entertained by all for
tho hymeneal state, which is now looked
upon as a of pleasure, to bo
entered in haste, and as quickly disposed
of, as soon as any of the cares and respon
sibilites, incident to it, are found to be
irksome, or to requiro more of an effort to
attend to than was anticipated. Practical
ly speaking when any reason exists for
secrecy, valid objections can be filed to
the step being taken at all ; and to have
the matter accorded tho prominence it do.
sorves we submit these views, assured of
the correctness of them forcing its way
into more hearts than one, and if acted
upon can guarantee a more general proper
appreciation of the sacredncss of troths
plighted.
—Tho roads have been very bad for the
past week, and travel has been much im
peded by the mud. And now it is u good
tiino to say that we heard a practical man
discussing this subject of roads few d\s
ago. He said that no better investment of
money could be made by this or any other
town than to make all the main roads for
several mile* from the borough smooth
and hard, so that mud should never trouble
the traveler. A farmer will ordinarily
prefer to drive ten miles over a good road
to trade rather than go six in the mud.
Then, too, the wear and tear on horse*,
harnesses and wagon* aro items to be con
sidered. It is claimed that money spent
on the public highways i* a liettcr invest
ment than a like sum put into railroad
slock. Within the last quarter of a cen
tury railroads have been improved so us
to almost double the rule of speed of tho
cars, with increased safety to passengers ;
smooth pavements take tho place of cobble
stones in the cities, but very little practical
improvement has been made in country
i roads. Lt Supervisors study the subject
jof making highways. We can afford to
have g r **l road* up here among the moun*
1 tains a well as tho farmers who cultivate
the sandy loam of Bucks and lterks coun
ties.
A little boy, whose tattered garments
attested the jioverty of bis parents, was
seen standing on the pavement in front of
the court house, on Saturday evening, cry
| ing bitterly, lie replied, when asked as
, to what was wrong, "Oh, ppa Is drunk
again, and I am waiting hero to go with
j him home, for you know it is so dark
where we live that he never would find it
alone." He refused to accept any offer of
assistance, but stood there as Heaven's
messenger to conduct the inebriated pa
rent to a home where squalid want main
tained full sway, crushing the life out of
an atfeelionate wife and loving children.
—lt is not customary for us to partic
ularly praise any of our pel institutions,
but feel obligated to slate that Bellefonte'*

many good ones of Central Pennsylvania.
The members are, individually, musicians,
that are acknowledged experts in the per

equity filed in tho Court of Common Pleas
of Centra county, by Mist Clsrn V. Milli
ken against ber uncle, James Milliken, to
obtain possession and control of her estatn,
reached tho first stngo in lis adjudication
this week. At a prior hearing tho car"
had been argued by able counsel on both
tides, and .Judge Mayer read the opinion
and decrees of tho court from tho hunch on
Inst Tuesday, it will he teen thai in this

the injunction and appoint* Mr. John I'.

br, 1871, and entered of record in Centre
county, in will book "C," page 401, Ac ,
whereof he appointed her uncles, Samuel
Milliken and Reuben It Valentine, execu
tors, and wherein he also appointed her
said unrlea guardians of your oratrix ;

ken.
"ATn/A—Thnt during her minority she

| uncles, or any one else, und that she never
until recently taw cither the will or a copy

| unwilling to continue in the charge and
i i are of her properly and estate, and ndviscl
i tn-r to gel lu-r uncle James Milliken to
i ikn the core and management thereof."
! These averment* are substantially ad
i milled by defendant in hi* answer.
The bill further charges that after the
l had been advix-d by her uncle, Samuel
; Milliken, to get her uncle, JBRU-I Miliikcn,
! to take the care and management of h-r
estate, she did request James Milliken to
lake the care and management of it as hrr
mirtit : that at the solicitation and through
j the importunity of her uncle,.l aim-* Milli
ken, she mad.- a voyage to Europe, and
. shortly before starling on said voyage, and
I twelve days after she reached her majority,
the said Jano - Milliken employed counsel
and had the deed of trust prcparc-d ; that
when the said docd of trust was pre) ar.-d
; und ready for execution, he brought it to
her and read it over once, ami undertook
to explain its provisions ; that he stated
(hat such a pap<-r was necessary to provide
for any contingency that might hap;*-n
during her voyage to Europe and return,
and that if she got bai k safely slo* could
• bange, alter or revoke it at pleasure ; that
-he did li-t understand the nature and
effect of lb*, deed from hi reading and ex
planation of it, and that )( she had under
stood it, she would not have executed it :
that she believed what defendant told her,
that she was simply constituting t .in her
agent, and that she was disp SII g of h>-r
property hy will, providing f..r the contin
gency of h--r death before her return from
Europe ; that she was not advised hy coun
sel, and nly bad the advice of her uncle,
'die said James Millik'-n; that before ami
sfter ill" execution of said deed, the *ld
trustee said she could revoke n at any tiin<-,
*nd was willing she should do so, until
recently, when he refused to assent In its
| cancellation ; that the said dcc-d was not
; recorded for more than eight mont-.s after
! its execution, and not until aller sl e hud
made a demand f r it, or a copy ther- f;
; that sh" has never le-cn shown a full state
ment of her p-rsonal estate, nor doe# she
know of what it consists; tha* the trustee
has declined to answer he r inquiries < n the
subject.
These averments are verified by the affi.
davit of the plaintiff, and a, to her aver
ment that #b did n<l understand the
nafure and effect of the paje-r she had
j executed, she is corroborated by the affi
davit of her aunt, Mary II J Yalentine.
These latter averments of the bill are in
the main denied hy tbe defendant in hi*
answer, which on tho hearing is to be
considered a* an affidavit H'cirren cisn/
Franklin Eailroad (k. vs damn /-and
' and Improvement Co., cut /'a St., 2 s .
| The following averments of the hill are
j established hy the affidavits
\ That after her father's death and during
i her minority, the plaintiff lived with her
grandmother, the mother of defendant, her
aunt, a sister, and the defendant; that one
of her uncles, the brother cd defendant,
< was her testamentary guardian, who had
i charge of her estate, and that he, in con
! neclioo with James Milliken, the defend
ant, sut*rinlended and directed her edura
; lion ; that her estate was taken charge of
' hy her uncle a* guardian, and that she had
] hitle knowledge cd its character and
, amount; that the deed of trust was exe
i c-uteci twelve day* after attaining her ma
jority, and just prior to her starting for a
voyage to Europe, in eomjasny with James
Milliken, the defendant ; that the execu
tion of the dec-d was procured hy the ad
view of Samuel Milliken and tbe said
James Milliken, the defendant, both uncle*
and beneficiaries under the deed ; that she
| did not have the advice and assistance of
i legal counsel in regard to the provision* of
I said deed, but whatever explanations and
advice she received were given by the
trustee, Jam's Milliken, and that on the
happening of a certain contingency—the
death of the plaintiff without issue—her
uncles, Samuel Milliken and James Milli
ken, the tiustee, would be large beneflci
i arie# under said deed.
Tbe other material allegation thai, hy
the execution of the deed, plaintiff bo-
Heved she was constituting James Milli
ken her agent, and that she could revoke
or alter at any time said deed, is denied in
the affidavit of defendant.
I* there sufficient in the allegations of
the bill and the affidavit* to justify the
court in granting present relief to the
plaintiff? It may tie conceded that the
de'endant sustained such a relation to the
plaintiff that be.could exert an Influence
over her. Bhe had lived in hi# mother's
family, of whieh defendant was an inmate,
from Infancy. Her mother had died when
she was very young, and her father died
when she was but eleven years old. Her
estate and her education were under the
charge and control of her uncle and guar
dian, Bamuel Milliken, and the defendant;
so that, to some extent, the defendant
stood t's* loen parentii to the plaintiff. Un
der these circumstances, the principles
upon which a court in eq-iißk act* are
well stated in the case of Areher r*. /Ind
ian. 7 Heaven 461. A niece, two month*
after she came of age, and after her guar
dian had fully accounted to her, entered
into a voluntary se urity for her uncle, hy
whom she had been brought up, and who
was considered by the court a* standing ir*
loco parentis. I/ord Langdal*, in deliver
ing the opinion of the court, observed :
"Nobody ha ever asserted that there can
not he a pecuniary transaction between a
parent and a child, the child being of age ;
but everybody will affirm in this court,
that If there bo a pecuniary transaction
between a parent and child just after the
child attain* the age of twenty-one years
and prior to what may be called a com
plete emancipation, without any benefit
moving to the child, the prenmptinn is
thnt an undue influents has been exereuted ;
and that it is the duly and tbe business of
tba party who endeavors to maintain such
transaction to show that that presumption
is adequately rebutted."
Tbt same principle ti staled by Justice
I ranki v in Iht ri inr/htn'tt Appenl. ft Norrht
i 518. "< tn it,i, n ,. ar con (taction be
i tween tlm parties in many relations, the
i transaction in itself |# considered to suspi-
I cimia a# to call the burden of proof upon
I the pcraon who seeks to up|Krl it, to show
i that ha ha taken no advantage of hi in
l tlucncnor knowledge, arid that the arrange
titant i fair and conscientious."
To tha same ■ H. < t tha ~f Green
field • Estate, s Harris .vm;, in wblab .In
tico Hell, who delivered the opinion of the
j court, aaya, in speaking of transactions be
j tween perron* standing in th aitualion of
V""i guardian* or Confidential advisers:
I "Other Mthorttlw, where ti„. tranentlnn
i* one of contract and rale, conceding that
jit may not Ire absolutely void, ipso far to,
throw ujeui the agent the burden of e.Uh
fishing it* perfect fairness and adequacy,
and that it war the deliberate act of the
confiding party, after being fully informed
of tile rights, i merer In and duties, arid put
ii|>on hir guard against even the suggestion*
of his own inclinations."
We cite those cares to rhow that the hur
den of proof i* thrown upon the defendant
of rurtairiilig the validity of till* deed. Thir
care can only he determined on a final
\ hearing before the nia-lc-r, when all the
j evidence liar been submitted. We will
riot undertake in this preliminary hearing
to parr ii|e.n the validity of thir deed of
lru-l That will have to be dc-term inc-d
wh-n the < are is heard before a tuarler, and
come* into court for a tlnal decree. We
only decide now that, under the affidavits
presented, we think it ira case catling f<>r
our interposition until the rights of the
'parties cao be finally settled.
And now, March 14th, IWJ, this cause

counsel, and thereupon, upon considera

Mr. EDITOR: Kor some time we have
; fies n reeding in • ur h* a! papers the reports
of small game hunters, and were surprised
i to find that the name of the real champion,
with the number of animals slain by him,
bar not yet been published. Master John
K. ilarter, who lives two miles west of
