WESLEY Poor.; from having. imbibed
too frequently of the "ardent ". on !Sat
urday last, became rather obstreperous
in manner and vulgar in speech, and when
Chief of Police BURNS informed him that
he was under the necessity of taking.him
to the lock-up, WESLEY became belig,er
ent, and informed the Chief that there
were not -policemen enough in the bor
ough to lodge him 'in that building. Ten
minutes after making that assertionW4
LEY was fully convinced that he had
erred in,his judgment, and that Chief
Muss generally accomplishes what ho
undertakes in the matter of making ar
rests. Monday morning 'Squire. YOUNG
informed WESLEY that. he thought that
the sum of ten dollars, in the light oY a
fine for his recent escapade, and a few
dollars costs, incurred by the borough for
lodings, etc., would be the easiest way
for him to settle the little affair, barring
the payment of which little sums the
'Squire 'politely informed him that the
borough would be convened to insist on
his remaining as its guest for the period
of ten days.
MUTING AUTHORITY. —On Monday

turnthe gate-keeper locked the gate and
demanded the toll.' The prisoner, howev;

from his wagon, smashed the lock and
went on bis way. An officer waa notified,

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. -

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.

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.
