Important Decision. The Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania has de
cided (Judge Sharswood delivered the
opinion) that a purchaser at Sheriff's
sale is not bound to look beyond the
judgment docket to ascertain whether
the entries thereon are properly made
by authority, and that where there is a
defective entry of a judgment, or an
unauthorized entry of satisfaction, the
prothonotary is liable to damages to the
party injured. Hence, where the pro
thonotary, without the authority of the
court, entered on his docket against a
judgment "satisfied i. fa." it was held
that the entiy was perfectly regular and
conclusive as to third persons to whom
the judgment itself regularly docketed
was conclusive notice, and that ' it was

As Col Trcspcrg.
We have received a circular which
treats tho "'A'eysnnd Means for the
Spread of tho Gonpcl" in a spirit which
is both business like and Scriptural.
Tho constant groaning over tho "raising
ot fuiida" might be avoided if thero
was a systematic measurement of one's
ability by Paul's rule, "As God hath
prospered."
The very first principle in tho soienoc
of practical benevolence for it is a
soienco -is that we should give God his
owu that is, everything. If we hold
our possessions as his stewards, we shall
havo an abiding antidote to covetous
ncs. But we also need to observe
method in applying tho Lord's property
to its various uses. The circular aptly
says: "It will surprise those who
have not thought of it, how much money
may be raised during the year, without
being oppressive to the givers, fcr vari
ous church expenses, Buch as the pas
tor's salary, current expenses, and
benevolent usps generally, if a consid
erable number of members would give
each Sabbath even not more than ten
cents a picoe, and others would give,
according to their means, sums varying
from ten cents to five dollars, though
perhaps the latter amount could bo
afforded by comparatively few."
A table follows, showing that four
hundred persons, thus regularly con
tributing, could easily raise fourteen
thousand dollars a year; a sum sufficient
to put an end to ull cavils about tbe sup
port of tho ministry. This may not be
correctly drawn, but any intelligent per
son can see that if each person, now an
occasional and careless contributor to
good causes, gave regularly and accord
ing to bis iuoomo, there would be no
"debts" owned by churches, no missions
half-manned, no lean and seedy minis
ters, to proclaim without words the
stinginess ot Christians.
A Singular Story.
A druggist who keeps a store in the
western part of the State, aud is more
lond of taking jokes than medicine,
was recently surprised by the appear
ance of a thorough Yankee, who asked,
"Be ycou the drugger?" "Well, I sup
pose so; I sell drugs." "Wall, have
ycou got eny uv this ere scotin stuff as
the gals put on their hnnkcichers?"
"Oh, yes!" "Wall, our Sal is gwine to
be married; and she's gin me a nine
pence, and told me to invest the whole
'mount in scntiu' stuff, so to make her
sweet, ef I could find somethin' to suit;
so, if you're a mind, I'll just smell
around." The Yaukeo smelled around
without beiug suited, until the "diug
gcr" got tired of him, and taking down
a bottle of hartshorn, said: "I've got
a scenting stuff that will suit you. A
single drop on a handkerchief will stay
for weeks, and you can't wash it out;
but, to get tho strength of it, you must
take a good big smell." "Ia that so,
mister? Well, jist bold on a minute
till I git breath; und when I say, 'Now!'
yeou put it under my smeller." The
hartshorn of course knocked the Yankee
down as liquor has many a man. Do
you suppose ho gut up und smelt again?
Boiling his sleeves, und doubling his
fists, he said, "leou made mo smell
that tarnal, everlasting stuff, mister;
and now I'll make yeou smell brim
stone." And be gave the druggist a
beating which he will remember for
years. This is the kind of treatment
Mr. Gough would have the drunkard
give the drink that knocks him down.

A pastor in Iowa told a colporteur
that a man who had till recently been

preaching, told him that ho was led to
rcnounco his infidelity by reading tracts

somebody had scattered tracts all around
his farm.

Ono morning I found little Dora busy
at the ironing table, smoothing some
towels and stockings.
"Isn't it bard work for your arms?" I
asked. A look like sunshine came into
her face, as she glanced toward her
mother, who was rocking the baby.
"It isn't hard work when I do it for

History of a Srinking Club.
Some years ago, in a ' large town in
the west of Scotland, there existed a
drinking club of upwards of twenty
members, all of whom belonged to the
middle claeses of society. This club
had a great influence in its municipal
affairs, several of its members were
elected to fill posts in the town council.
The drinking was carried on to a tearful
extent in the tavern whoie they met.
The members were to be found often in
the club at all hours of night or day.
Their drinking was often connected
with such noisy mirth as to attract the
attention of the passers-by. .Two of its
members were sent to a lunatio asylum.
One jnmped from a window and killed
himself; one walked or foil into the
water and was drowned; one wus found
dead in a public bouse; one died of de
lerium tremens; upwards ef ten became
bankrupt; four died ero tbey had lived
half their days.

Resijlt of Centuries op Clli ure
The successive editions of .Webster's
Unabrubje.d are as perennial in interest
as in value.' Each successive reprint
finds the work of our great lexicograph
er still unrivaled among English dic

likewise find a mirror of the scientific
progress of the ago, a sleepless vigilance
which nothing escapes, to catch every
new shade of verbal significance, and
to retain for our unapproachod standard
of language, that freshness which pre
serves it from over becoming old. In
the 1,810 pages before us there sre
compressed the results of centuries of
culture, and the sum of the intellectual
contributions of some of the greatest
minds of the race. Whether regarded
as a whole, or in detail, the book is
equally marvelous. Its illustrations are
copious, appropriate and carefully exe
