Dr. Shorjijic. Thi.-t caso camo before
tlio Supremo Court last week and was again
postponed until tlio first Monday in Febru
ary, owing to other engagements of tho
Court and Council.
A protrude! meeting of four weeks du
ration has just been elo.sd by tho Luther
ans aillansville. Tho result was very
gratifying, as twenty live converts were mi
lled to the church.
The new Ciiurch ISilif.ee erected by the
Reformed Congregation in Newport, will
be dedicated to the service of the Triune
God, on Stuultiy, the iiith of January, 1870.
Several eminent ministers are expected to
be present on the occasion. Tho public are
respectfully invited to be present.
X
Presentation. Colonel 1$. P. Bealor of
Nowport has prepared for presentation to
President Grant, an elegant Laurel cane.
The cane has seven knots on it and
on each knot was engraved a let
ter forming tho name of U. 8. Grant. It
was finished in lino stylo, and elegantly
mounted, reflecting much credit upon the
taste of tho donor.
TiieUest in Use. The Parham Sewing
Machine is tho most simple, tho most com
plete, works with less noise and will be found
the best machine in use. They may be
seen at tho store of James L. Diven in Lan
disburg, or of F. Mortimer, New Rloomlield.
Every person who thinks of purchasing a
sewing machine, should not fad to examino
The Purliiiin Machine.
Think you tho proprietor of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy would oiler $500 reward
for a caso of catarrh which ho cannot cure
if his Remedy was a humbug? Preposterous
idea 1 Sold by druggists everywhere at
lifty cents, and it prepares a full pint of the
medicine ready for use.
Robbery. Sometime during tho night
of the 5th inst., some person entered tho
house occupied by Gabriel Kline, at Green
park, and stole $45 from a chest, and a
small amount of change from Mr. Kline's
pants. Entrance was effected by boring a
two inch auger bole through tho cellar door
and afterwards removing tho sash. Sever
al robberies havo occurred in that neighbor
hood within a few months, of a singular
nature, which makes it appear that some
person acquainted with tho premises com
mits tho deeds.
Two men named John Briner and James
Rogers wore arrested on Saturday by Con
stable Eaton, of Landisburg, for peddling
without license, and wero brought before
Esq. Shuler, in this borough.
Tho most singular part of tho procedure,
was their being discharged with a lino of
ten dollars, which, if they wero liable to
any fine at all, should have been one hun
dred dollars. The counsel for tho officer
wished to havo the men held until some in
formation could be obt ained as to where tho
goods wore procured, but tho men wero
discharged and hurried out of tho county
as though thoir time was remarkably pro
cious. Correspondents Wanted. Wo desire to
make the local department of The Times,
as complete as possible, and shall not allow
expense or troublo to interfere with our
success.
To securo this object, wo wish to arrange
with ono person at every post-offico 171 tho
county, to notify us of every occurrence
transpiring in their vicinity, calculated to
bo of any interest to our readers. ' We do
not ask them to put their communi
cations in shape for publication, but to
givo us facts, and wo will attend to putting
them into proper form. To tho person en
gaging to do this, wo will furnish stamped
envelopes, having on them our printed ad
dross, so that they will be at no expense for
postage, and have but little troublo. In ad
dition to this The 'Times will bo mailed to
their address vhku ov change, during the
continuance of tho arrangement. Persons
willing to accept this proposition will pleaso
notify us, and wo will send to ono at each
office, the envolopes, and depend on thein
for "locals" from thoir vieiuity.
Good Clothes don't mako tho man, but
they improve him wonderfully when ho ia
made. Such improvements can bo had of
F. Mortimer.
(tfver Done. Wo frequently sco com
plaints of officers neglecting their duty,
but in tho return of tho Burgess and Coun
cil of this borough, by Constable Mehairy
for the condition of the streets, wo havo an
instance of an official over doing his duty.
Tho ono place paiticularly complained of,
had already been ordered fixed by the put
ting in of a culvert. The materials for tho
purposo arc already on tho ground, and but
for the sudden and unexpected early cold
would havo been completed this fall. Aa
it is, a temporary arrangement had been
made to conduct away tho water, so that
the place is in better condition than it has
been for years.
Tho condition of tho streets and walks
in our borough is such that our town will
1 favorably compare with any in the State,
and had the constable ever travelled much
ho would havo known that our citizens
have 110 reason to feel ashamed of their bor
ough. As he acknowledges that ho has not seen
tho place complained of for several weeks,
it looks as though tho return was either
made to gratify some other person, or for
some spite ho may have against the bor
ough authorities. Under tho circumstan
ces the return is inexcusable.
Jln Demand. Lewis Potter, Esq. of this
borough was appointed, a few days ago,
Agent of the .Etna Fire Insurance Co., of
Hartford, Conn., by T. Kirk AVhito, Esq.,
Special Agent. Tho iEtna is ono of tho
oldest companies in tho United States, and
the losses paid in fifty years has amounted
to almost thirty-six millions of dollars.
"By their fruits ye know them." It is one
of the most absurd things upon earth to
neglect tho means of providing a remedy
against the overwhelming consequences of
fire, when such a remedy is attainable
without the slightest difficulty. 1 lavo your
property at all times insured. Always ask
Mr. Potter for a policy in tho old Etna.

Craig & Blanchard vs. J. L. Kline, et al.
There were two different actions in which
tho pllf's. (who are a lumber firm in Phila
delphia,) replevied a lot of logs in tho pos
session of tho def'ts. Dcf'ts. gave prop-"
erty bond and retained tho logs in dispute
These logs wero started by tho pill 's, in
tho spring of 1808, on tho West Branch of
tho Susquehanna River to be lloatcd to their
mills on Swan Creek, in Maryland. The
logs were lloated loosely, not being rafted
together, part of them about 870 wero
captured by def 'ts., whilo thus floating on
the river, and over 1000 of them lodged on
tho islands in tho river, opposito tho Dry
Saw Mill, in this county, belonging to tho
defendants, and others, and wero removed
by tho defendants to their saw mill and
converted into lumber. Tho cases excited
much interest on account of the mavnmioK-
- A
Hon of tho constitutionality of tho Act of
Assembly of 1808, prohibiting tho floating
of logs loosely on said river, and giving au
thority to persons so inclinod, to tako up
such logs. This question was very ably
discussed by tho learned counsel on both
sides. Tho Judgo charged tho Jury that
tho Act was constitutional and that tho
plaintiffs could not recover tho logs that
woro captured in tho rivor, but that under
tho law and facts, thoir verdict should bo
for tho plaintiffs for tho value of tho logs
found by defendants on the islands, and by
them taken therefrom. Verdict for plain
tiffs for 1078 48.

For The Bloomfield Times.
The Bloomfield Fur Company.
New Bloomtiold, Pa
January 4th, 1S70.
Mr. Editor Having seen In your paper several
notices of the Bloomlleld Fur Company, it may not
be amiss for 1110, an humble member of that Com
pany, to state the object of our confederation, and
the rules by which we arc novonied. We are regu
lated by no rules as unchangeable as those of tho
Modes and Persians, except Bule Hid, which one
we are most particular In observing ; and the pun
ishment most severe. The others are to be enforc
ed as long as they are mutually pleasing.
The intention of tills Company Is to bring weeji
ing and wailing Into the habitations of Itoynard in
the first place, and lastly, though not lea si ly, for
tile sake of that filthy lucre, which draws man into
most of enterprises. The Skin and theKealn being
the trophies of tho chase. We acknowledge nu
leader but headlong ami united wet rami) over hills,
through woods and swamps In pursuit of our prey,
sounding the war-cry of Annihilation, (which as I
cannot spell it, may be heard before the rising of
tho sun, on any hunting-day, sounding as near like
"Che-hoe," as 1 can describe.
As yet we have chosen no banner. We respect
fully solicit from tlio public any emblems or coat of
arms they can suggest. All will be taken into eon
sidoraiion, except those having tho picture of a
half-starved cur. leaning against a tree, barking at
a hole in the rocks. Kuch are ruled out by a unan
imous vote in private council hold at headquarters
in the Held.
The following rules wero passed in private coun
cil, but I shall take the liberty of making them
public j '
liule 1st. Kach individual Is to furnish his own
grub, thereby preventing the disagreeableness of
easting wishful eyes on his friends.
Contributions of Bonzino are to be handed
around to those having good swallows.
liule 2d. Thai all porsohs wishing to have aclaim
on the fSUin, are to furnish a cur. The same eur to
have at least three running legs, and to be able to
howl on the trail, around tho woods, or at some
thing. Age not particular.
liule 3rd. That all persons accompanying a hunt,
are to fully concur in all yarns told by each other,
regarding the chase. And if success does not at
tend us, he is to state tliat the dogs ran one, hut
some man shot the fox away across t lie country,
anil make it as far as possible, which will cause
people to believe tho curs are valuable and per
haps induce them to buy at an exorbitant price.
liule Ith. Tho man killing tlio fox returns with
the Scalp. The owner of tho lead dog returns with
the Skin ; the rest return with wet feet and an
empty stomach, which is to servo them right for
not paying dog tax.
It Is requested that all dogs should bo called pet
names, to distinguish them from tho lower species,
such as " Wcnus1' and 'liiggus."
Dividends declared seiui-occasionally.
