The early courts largely attended by country people, and they were hard to keep in respectful conduet, The folks stood around, Judge George W. Woodward was wont to say, “like people in an auction room." When Judge James Burnside held his first court there, the people crowded in among the lawyers and in front of the bench. An indictment was found against one Pennington. The Judge called out: “Is Pennington in court?” A stalwart man standing in front of the crowd said: “Jedge, you better call out the whole damn grist of the Penning. tons.” The Judge put on a severe look, and commenced a lecture to the man for disturbing the court. After he had proceeded awhile, the man said: “Hush up, Jedge; you are making a sight more disturbance than I did.” The late Judge Samuel Linn was loaded with Clearfield reminiscences. In those days oysters were wagoned over the Alleghenies, and would be. come somewhat soft and tainted. Some traveler arrived at the tavern where the Judge was stopping long after supper time, and the landlord, wishing to save his wife the trouble of cooking supper for him at so late an hour, invited the stranger over to a restaurant, kept by a Yankee, to take some oysters. After their return the landlord became very sick, and was “spewing” dreadfully in the barroom. Mrs, Ewing hearing in her bedroom the incessant “New York. ing’ of her husband, hallooed down stairs the inquiry, ‘what was the mat. ter?” Emig interrupted the vomit long enough to reply, “he had been over at the Yankee's getting a dozen of oysters, and was afraid the Yankee had cheated him in the count and he was counting them over.’ David Watts, Esq., who was a noted lawyer in his day, from Carlisle, usual. ly traveled the “circuit.” His name had gone before him, and some country. man, who had emigrated up into the mountains at an early day from Cum. berland county, came some distance to hear Mr, Watts argue a case, Mr, Watts met him with the inquiry, “what he had come to court for.” Ile replied ‘ in Clearfield the were hy wttended the courts of ! .. {and fragran Iv. | + | Noll, | and was anxious to hear him try a case, “Well,” said Mr, Watts, **I do not do things very nice, but good and strong, as the devil sald when he sewed up a hole with a log chain.

Swartz, formerly of this place, foot and sustained other injuries by recklessly jumping from a train in motion, on Saturday night, Sept. 5. He 14 a telephone lineman, employed on the Bald Eagle line, and was on his way home, He did not get off the train at the station but rode on down into the yard and then jumped from the train. His foot struck a stone which turned and threw him with his legs under the car wheels, which passed over his feet sever. ing the right foot at the instep and cut. ting off three toes off his left foot. He was taken to his home in Osceola, where Dr. Reed attended to the injuries and on Monday sent him to the Philips. burg hospital, where he is now resting very comfortably. lost a Wicked Netghbors Our wicked Clearfleid co. neighbors had a list of one hundred and forty- seven criminal cases to be tried at the present term of court. The number of liquor licenses granted in a county isa pretty sure index to the amount of business brought before the courts of that county and the long list of good honest and responsible men who got legal permission to deal out liquid damnation in Clearfield county this year is bearing a full crop of the natural fruit, fev. Benton Called On Monday at a meeting of the vestry of St, John's Episcopal church, Belle. fonte, it was decided to extend a call to Rev. Wm. D. Benton, of Cuba, N. Y. Rev.

It is to the credit of the railroad com- pany that ampic sscommodations were provided for handling such a large mass of people. No accidents occurred and almost every tmin arrived and departed on time, Extent of Dead Floats, If all the dead beats in the world could be placed in ranks they would oc. cupy a space much larger than the com. bined armies of civilized nations, and if their debt could be estimated they would amount to enough to provide homes for all the paupers in America. If an estimate were made to find out what business suffers the most from dead beats it would be found that the average newspaper publisher is the great sufferer, If our “dead beat” subserib. ers would jay up we could spend a year comfortably abroad.
