beingln attendance, I was taken through the fe

excruciating painrin my side, hack and hips. 1
was completely prostrated with Kidney Complaint,
and no medicine seemed to reach my case.
In, this condition I,was perstiaded to try Maas.TINE by a friend whom it cured of the same dis
ease, and it seemed as though I eentd feel the ef
-feet of the drat dose through any wholosystemtand
from that , moment I began to mend, gradtrsily
growing better from day to day; and I followed on
with the Vzorrinit until tt completely. restored
me to bealttholnce which time I have s heen able to
perform my duties as a poltee'ollieer„enloyinggood

" Ir/March, 1812,_ the counties of
Wayne, -Susquehanna, Bradford and Tio.-
s ga were organized as a judicial district,
and JOHN B. GIBSON was appointed the
President Judge. I think • he was from
Cumberland county, in this State, and it
rcqitired a man - of firm and resolute mind
to undertake the task of
,presiding over
such an \ extensive district, which, included
such a wilderness of coimtry. As e jurist
he surpassed expectation; and,. in. about
three years;.was promoted to the beach of
the Supreme Court, which station lie oc
cupied to'the time of his death, which oc
citrred I think in 18.53.. But few judges
have ever obtained a higher * judicial
standing -in this 'State than did Judge,
GinsoN.
lie was succeeded \by THOMAS BURN
SIDE, of Centre county; \ who . was a man
quite eccentric in his manners and habits,
but of decided ability, anal fearless in the
performance of' the duties Of his station.
In about three' years from the time of his
appointment he resigned, butiubsequent
ly became one of the judges of \ the Su
etenie Court, and so remained to thO time
of" ells each. .
1818 EDWARD HERRICK became the
President s fudge of - this district, and so
continued \for about twenty-onn years.
Ile bad been admitted to the bar in the
State of New\Y - ork before be was 21 yeani
of age, and went to Marietta .in Ohio to
commence business in the line of -his pro
fession.' lie was • eminently successful,
but the ill-health of his family compelled
his return to -Bradford -in 1813, and he
wati-a Niroininent member pf the Bradford
bar till was app3inteil Judge as above
stated. e was upright and able in the
discharge of his official duties, and Oom.

ltir and of the citizens of the. !hark* du

1822, AM . -had from that time - attended
our courts as a pricticing member till his

Monaca Witt:lB'o3N ;Was appointed to
succeed him in 1841). ' He 'came from I
Bmome county', N. V ~ to BiaSford, and
was admitted to the bar here In 1819. He
soon acqnircd an enviable dietinction as a
lawyer; and as an able 'advocate. In ar
gument bealid not , jump at conclusions,
'but led She. minds of his hearers along
gradually, by asystem of ,reasoning that
`was altiessCirreststible. Ile was engaged
in almost eiterrame - of much importance
in the cotiplies of Bradford and Tioga,
until his : appointment as above stated. It
may be said of him in brief that he was
an honor to the bar- and the bench, and
that in all of the ielatier,na of Mahe was
wholly above reptoach. ' ; •___ .
' He was ;followed by DAVID Wir.NOT,
who was elected trestdeneJudge in 1851.
Ile came from W yne county in this State
and was engaged in tbp practice of law
here till 1844, when ho was elected to
Congress. where he continued for several
terms. Ho was.a man or very decided,
thinner and restitution, and his.name "has
become' immortal' in the history of ; the
- United States, as the anther of "'The
Wilmot Proviso;" which was a direct ht
tack upon the institution of slavery, and
had great effect in causing - Its downfall.
At the time,othis death, 18613,1 he was one
of the judges or the a rt of claims at
Washington. 1 , ; -

'Several gentlemen of the leg:0 'fraterni

from their comineneement, to wit, Jona
Evass, Gatinses -Matasinv and DAVID 1
SCOTT, ,and , participated largely in the
pending business. Several others , from i
the Same locality were admitted at various
times, among whom may be mentioned
the names of GEORGE DENISON, ORISTUS
Cottsss, and J. N. Cosviiousat, hereto
fore given. it would ;require too much
time and space to, give the biography of
each or. either of the persons above
named. They were all men of high stand

came useful as judges, and all have ex- -
changed time, for eternity.
The recent death of. Wit: WATKINS,
Esq., brings his name prominently to
'ind. It is within the recollection of the
writer hereof that be-came from the state
of Vermontand was admitted , to' 'the-bar
in this county In 1820. Few , men ever
gave mote devoted attention' tilap tie did
to the duties of his profession, and,, no'
client of his ever suffered for the wan d of
;;zeal and fidelity on his- part. Fully con
curring in the reniarks respecting him at
the late meeting of the - bar,• they will not
be repeated her. It is Sufficient to say
that they were justly due to his merit and
his memory.
The late Jolts . C. ADAMS was a dative
of Berkshire county, in Massachusetts,
and was.admitted to the bar in this Comi
ty in 1836. Ile. soon beiame highly' dis
tinguished as a safe counselor, mid as in
'mac and powerful advocate; and, at the
time of his death in 1866, be took rank
among' the foremost members or the bar
in Northern Pennsylvania.; He left alarge
,
property acquired by honest industry and I
close attention to 'his professional' busi- - 1
nests. His death was a great loss to the
public in a large ,extent of comitry. It
has been the object of the writer of{ this'
-sketch to•nse all consistent brevity, , and
to make no reference to any person now
living, nor to any member of tho,bar who
has been admitted within the last forty
years. The 'names of many honored and
respected persons of. the legal profession
now in active life press upon the Mind,
but they base to be omitted, or this paper
would become too volursinowi for the' pur
pose intended. • - - -,
It may beliere stated that deltas has,
within ten iir, fifteen years last past, made
great inroads neon those who have at va
rious times occupied the bar or the bench,

War locality:
"Another new swindle, being per
petrated upon the. farming commfmi
ty, has just been brought "to light in
this section, py . which a nnanier ,of
farmers have been victimized: Some
time since; it appears, an agent fora
patent corn sheller made his appear

parties to sigfi whit purported t&>he
a contract or duebill for a sheller on

*hut which afterwitrds proved to be a
promisory note in paythent • for
tw3itly One machines. The machines
thus apparently ordered by, the un
suspecting victims were shipped to
each party, and an agent called upon
them for the amount of money repre
sented by 'the number of machines
and called for by the, promisory
notes. Several Hof the parties thus
attempted .to be swindled refused
. .
Making payments, stating. that they
had ordered but a .snigle machine
and would pay no more, and several
law-suits'are now pending regarding
the matter, the result of which we

Thinking is not dreamin g .
_The
world is full of dreamers ; few men
do most of its thinking. Thinking is '
inanufacturing ;it is taking mental
tools and hammering and fdingand,
moulding and 'shaping until ideas
have grown into fully developed re
alities of the brain, with' dimensions
and clearly-defined outlines. The
reason , there are not more thinkers
its because thinking is work; it wears
lawny tissue and muscle. ft is tire
some ;it requires time and purpose.
Men can dream while they sleep to
work they/must be awake. Dreaming
is-tearing away the flood-gate and
allowing the flood to potir through;
if anything remains it is only drift
mood that may chance to hang in the
way. Minds fill svith drift-wood 'be
cause they are not thinking. Thinking
is the:mensuring of chances, weig-h
-,ing principles, watching the opera
tion of law ;it is a process of creep
ing upon things and taking them by,
surprise before they have time to get
away. A thinker is a bunter. He
must live alone ; he must be satisfied
with small daily fare, and often see
his - game fly *fore he has time to
shoot: He must have courage to face
the chasm and t dark places and clinib
steep' mountains; he must love skli
tude as an outpost bidden in the
rocks.

"That is nonsense, - Edith. • ',You

that because a' man is married :he
