They adjoin {each other and the conditions of life, the occupations of thé'people are, about the same. The greater portion are either engaged in farming, mining or lnmbering. The population of our { county, according to the last census, | 1890, was 43,269, that of Clearfield county 60.565, At our last license court in March, 1891, twenty-two liquor licenses were granted by the court. Last week the Clearfield county papers gave a report of the proceedings in their license court fand it furnishes a striking contrast | with Centre county. The summary is as follows: { Hotel liquor licenses | “ ‘ granted, - 70 held over, Ki | refused. granted, held over, ! lin rv leon nt liquor licenses | Re alt | " i 4a refused, Wh'sale liquor | icenses granted, held over, bo refused, - } breweries were granted license and 1 held over; one distillery granted. | According t> that there were 156 var- lious applications made in Clearfield | county for liquor licenses of which were granted, 50 held over, 7 refu and 1 was withdrawn.

Cases Postponed There were four cases placed on the trial list for the second term of January court that would have attracted more than ordinary interest: those of Robert, Abraham 8., George and Jacob D, Val. entine, all of Bellefonte, against James Milliken, to recover heavy damages claimed to have arisen from an article which appeared in the Philad. Times over a year ago and published also in this paper. It is alleged that James Milliken was the author of the same and that it caused the Centre Iron Co, to suspend. The Valentines retained Orvis, Bower & Orvis and Beaver, Gephart & Dale as counsel, while Mr, Gi. Love, Esq., and the famous Daniel Daugherty, Esq., of New York City, known as the “Silver Tongued Orator,” to take care of his interests. The prom. inence of the litigants as well as the distinguished barristers, as counsel, would have aroused much Interest and would have furnished a treat for the spectators—but the case has been post. poned again, owing the illness of Mr. Milliken and previous engagements of Mr. Dougherty.

It has heretofore been held | by the courts that a depositor in a bank if allowed to offset all claims which an insolvent bank may hold against him by his own claim against the bank would becone a preferred creditor. That is, a depositor who owes a bank a thousand dollars, when it closed its doors, if allow- ed to offset that claim to the extent that he has money on deposit in the { bank at the time, would be shown a preference over other creditors, giving | him a standing which other creditors of the bank did not have. Judge Butler's decision is just the reverse of this. He holds that when a bank has gone into {the hands of a receiver, and owes | money to a depositor, and that depositor | is indebted to the bank, he has the right | to offset his own claim to that of the bank, and that there is no preference in such a case whatever, This decision is important from the fact that the of a bank are commonly its That men secure wlations from the 1 they keep their deposits will the f : ¢ assets of debtors creditors also. is, their accomm istitu. tion where This decision have result perhaps cutting down th bankrupt bank very considerably, an thi of course, losses to those depositors who are not Although s will, result in greater borrowers out of their bank. this decision, which was concurred by Judge Acheson, to the generally runs counter accepted rule, ye ini t 4 iv! i i seems squitable as well as reasonable, { It Is allowing a depositor to pay his in- | debtedness to a bank with the very money he has placed in the bank for | that purpose, instead of compelling him | to find new money to lift his note, and giving what he distribution among all the creditors, already has there for .-———— Interesting to County Commissioners The adopt a pattern of to guard rail COMMIssion authoriz kh and i DOooth and under the Baker ballot act has performed its duty.
