Rep., 451. • it undoubtedly must rest as a generatfule with the wisdom of the' legislature to determine when public uses require the assumptlMl or private plop arty ; but If they should take It for a purpose lot of a public nature, as if the property of A should be taken and given to B, or if they should vacate a grant of property or a franchise under thepretext of some public service, such tesiess woad be clearly unconstitutional. 2 Kent's Com.. 1110. - In pangs of. the Acts of 1676 and 1675 ander consideration, the legislature- declared. in effect, that under circumstances enumerated therein it might be for the public benefit that a toil bridge owned by a corporation should become a public or meaty bridge. tree to all persons. But the-lees lion of necessity in each case as It may arise. was referred to the local courts to be determined by the agency of viewers and the concurrence or nco coucurrence of the grand jury. . The mode adopted in this Act is substantially that which has always prevailed In regard to taking property for roads, /km, and is sustained byi, decisions of the Supreme Court. 16 St. Rep. IS. The result of the authorities appears to he, that the only conditions to the exercise of the right of the state to take private propetty Is that the public gond requires it, and that adequate compensation be made therefore. The fact that the public good does require tt is tabs ascertained •by legislative authori:y which authority !Abe be delegated to a corporation or even to an Individual where the purpose Is of public utility. It is contended here that the taking of a toll bridge and making it free to allis putting It to no higher use, and therefore nut within the,posrer of the legislature. Of course the bridge will baptised over in the same manner after taken as before, but' that has nothing to do with the question. The use; in the sense of the law, will not be the same. A free bridge Is open for travel by night and by day, but In the hands of a private corporation it I May be sometimes closed to the Incoureolence of a traveler, and can never be rightfully cruised with. out complying with legal exactions in the shape of tolls. In the one case the public have the absolute rights and In the other conditional rights eau- .1 trolled by the corporation. In the one ease the bridge Is maintained principally for the purpose of private gain and In the other for the accomodatlon, convenience and welfare. of the public and for Its relief from an unnecessary burden, I have no doubt as to the constitutionality of the Art of 18711 as amended by the Act of 1575. Is not In conflict with any clause of the federal or state constitution. The third exception to the report may be dbl. missed with the single remark, that there is toth ing In the law which requires that a bridge to be taken for public use shall be in the line of a public improvement or a part thereof. The fourth exception cannot be sustained. • The law provides that proceedings under the statute may be begun and carried on upon the petlikie Of twenty residents and tax payers of the county. The fifth exception asserts that the bridge pro- posed to be taken and appropriated Is not situate where a public highway is crossed by a river or other stream,: . No evidence in regard to this exception was taken, but the eseeptants content themselves with, a simple denial of the facts alleged in the petition. The petition alleges that the bridge in question Is over the Susquehanna River between the borough of Towanda and the townshlpof Wysox In the county of Bradford where said river„crosses a road . or highway—that said road in Wysox township Is known as the New East Towanda road and that said road-in Towanda borough is known as Bridge, street. It appears by the document in evidence on the argument of these exceptions that there is a road, leading up and down the river and that from It there is a causeway for a distance of thirty or forty rods to the end of the bridge. If this causeway la maintained by the bridge, company and is necessary to reach their bridge It, is part of the bridge itself and would pass by • sane of its franchisers If it is kept in repair by the public it Is a public highway. • .. Ryer since the bridge was erected more than' forty years ago there has been a way open to each end of the bridge. The bridge Itself Is a highway and forms the connecting lines between the highways on oppeells sides of the river. It is surds' not necessary to bring a case within the Act of Assembly, that the petitioners shout show that a highway bat been laid out sot only but across the river. I apprehend that except I the case of state roods laid out by the COMI/11101101/L era appointed for that purpose, no case can be found where a public road has been laid out by course and distance zeroes the . nusquehaena And yet, within the meaning of the law, where there is a highway to the river on each side, the river may be said to cross a highway. And although there may be so record of a laying out of the road, yet if it has, been used by the public as a highway- for twenty-one years it has become a highway by prescription. Many high. ways throughout the Commonwealth stand upon no other title. The Art of Assembly under ctn. snleration applies to highways without regard to the Manner of their becoming such. The fifth exception is overruled as not founded In fact. The sixth and seventh exceptions are overruled. The law does not require that the petition upon which the proceedings are founded should be sworn to. Under the general road law of the State for the laying out of roads or erecting County bridges, a Nation of eltixens is required as In the act of .1576, but It 'has never been the'practice to require them to be Sworn - to. An oath is never re qulred to a petition in the quarter tessions except by virtue of somevatute. Notice appears to have been given by the view ers as required by the Act of Assembly, there was us necessity to give special nutice to the Commis sioners of the County. The efgefk and ninfh exceptions cannot be sus tained. Where several persons are authorized to do an act of a public nanny which requires dellte eration, though all should be convened, a majority may decide. Turnpike Road by Charri Tort,A Blaney, Nl': Paradise Road, 6 Casey. 20. The exceptions to the report of viewers are over ruled. But we do not now confirm the report upon the merits. The Act requires the approval of the Grand Jory, before final action can be taken by the Court. Request - having been, made by the Bridge Company that in their inquiry Into the propriety of - approving and confirming the report of the viewers that witnesses may be-examined for and against the same, agreeably to the provi. atone of the 11th Section of the Act, the Court will refer the case first to the Grand Jury to be consid ered and acted upon air-required by law. And now. July TM, -1579, the exceptions by the Towanda Bridge Company to the- report of the viewers are overruled, and it Is directed that the rrport be laid before the Grand Jury at the Septem ber sessions of the Court, and that it requested, it Is directed that they bear and examine witnesses for and against the same. - WILLIAM ELWMLL, President Judge 2tlth Iti,trlct, (holding Special Court). ;weal Correspondence.

Euiroa :—Thinking that a few lines from this place would be acceptable in the columns of your worthy paper, I send the following : - ' • School closed July 21st, after a term of I three mouths taught by Mira ADA E- Stionze, one of the most accomplished teachers in oar public schools. She is, in deed, a "progressive teacher," as every one will admit who had the pleasure of attending the grand entertainment given the following evening. Although the weather was rather unfavorable, it did not prevent a good attendance. The house was well filled with friends of edu cation, who listened with marked atten dolt to the beautiful exercises which bad been so carefully selected by the teacher. It was surprising, I might say astonish ing, to the many parents present to see borr well the children did in their first at tempt..': It was east to discern, from the smiles on their faces, that they did realty appreciate, their . faithful teacher, and were here heartily glad that they bad done so much to assist in the good work. Many were the tears that stole silently down the scholars, and even parents cheeks, when the last good-bye was said. Mrs. P. J. SMITH was present, and gave a short but very interesting address to parents, which will not soon be forgotten. They were also very grateful to him; for plenty of good music.' Mr. SMITH is deep ly interested in the welfare of the young —they will ever find him a true and sim: pathizing friend in their struggle up the Hill of Science. - FROM A FRIEND. irIALUBING WINNOWING& The Normal Musical Institute opened July 21st, with a goodly number in at tendance. Mr. EMERSON and assistants are developing the harmonic element of itivinembers with extraordinary skill in imparting instruction .in that lucid and thorough manner that defies criticism. Their earnest labors cannot fail to secure to all earnest, sacrificing and ambitious ones, that advancement in the science which promises its own rich reward. As a rule, it is a poor business that can not afford to enlarge its capital with a lit tle of its profits. It is none the less that of a vocal music teacher than any other. The present normal school would seem too good an opportunity for a live teacher of Bradford County to pass. Neighboring Counties. SULLIVAN COUNTY. From the Dashore Review, Joy 24 Morris.
