The Grentre Democrat, “THURSDAY, JAN. 28, 1802, CHAS. R. KURTZ - - - EDITOR = on “\ he “rn THE RACKET Ri This has been a lively week. Goods of all kinds came every day in large quantities. They had to be properly marked in plain fig- ures and a place found for them, and the finding of a place, in our already overcrowded room, wasn’t the easiest thing to do. As a mat- ter of course, customers came to see what's new and to buy goods needed at the lowest possible price, and between the goods coming in and the goods going out, it is not necessary to tell you we had a pic nic—and its January too—usually a dull month, with the old times, but such a thing as a dull day, let alone a dull month, is not down on the “Racket Almanac.” U will never find us in better hu- mor than when, we can sell you goods less than we can regularly buy them. now.

LIST OF CASES TRIED THIS WEEK. T.M. Gramwley, of Gregg twp, Made foreman of the Grand Jary-—Sentences Imposed and Other Business Transacted, Court was called to order on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Judge Furst and his dignified associate, Judge Riley, adorned the judicial department while W. F. Reber, Esq., occupied his usual position at the stenographer’s desk. Since he has held a position in the ex. ecutive department at Harrisburg he seldom finds time to fill his accustomed position in our courts, Considerable of the time of the session was consumed by attorneys presenting petitions, A motion was presented asking for a new trial of Frank Karcher, of Sandy Ridge, who was con- victed at last session of court for furnish. ing liquor to persons in that vicinity without having the proper license. Judge Furst overruled the petition and called Mr. Karcher for sentence. A in Philipsburg and that vicinity was read which asked that sentence be pended in this particular case. S08. Mr. from the Court and was pay costs of prosecution and give a bond of #500 to keep the peace, and further sentence was suspended. The grand jury was organized by the appointment of T. M. Gramley, of Gregg twp., as foreman. After receiving the usual instructions in regard to their duties they retired and proceeded to consider indictments presented. Jacob Williams, an Englishman of Snow Snoe, appeared for the purpose of being naturalized. He was not familia ment.

John G. Love, Esq, represented the overseers and W. F, Reeder, Esq., represented Mr, Pringle. On Tuesday morning when the case was again resumed Mr. Love stated that as Mr. Pringle had been with John Eves, of Half Moon township, the evening before and slept with him at lation of the law and the directions of the court. Robert Musser, of Philips. burg, a juror on the same case had a fall while coming from the opera house the same evening and was unable to serve, case be withdrawn for this term and continued to next term at the expense of Mr, Pringle.

Mr. Royer claimed the oak trees on the ground which had been condemned for a school purpose. During the holidays a num. ber of these trees were cut down and Mr, Royer hauled them to his home, The school directors of the township brought suit for malicious mischief and trespass. The case was submitted to the jury on Tuesday afternoon and af. ter an hour's deliberation they returned a verdict of guilty as indicted and rec. omended the merey of the court. The case against Miss Carrie Wilson, charged with concealing the death of an illegitimate child, created consider. able interest.

Had the present body made the same report it would have settled the matter and an expensive item would have been placed on the county. Their report this time con- tains nothing of the kind. It is in sub- stance as follows: Pros. two were iguored, “We beg leave further to report that have visited and inspected the county buildings and found first, the Court House good conditwn, with ample and proper measures in progress we in to improve vaults of the Coms. and Prothonotary’s offices whereby the ca- pacity of the vaults is doubled.

She lay in a comatose condition at Superin- evening until Thursday, and then only partially regained consciousness. Miss Hoffman states, since the restoration of her mind and memory, that she was on Tuesday evening struck on the back of the head at the base of the brain by a snow ball thrown by some urchin, It she got home, stars danced before eyes and she was soon in a trance. She is probably suffering from concussion of the brain.
