Tbisi9 the season for eggs, and the

good sized ones but where a Lea lays
two a day, even if the eggs are small
they fetch more. The following story
which Gould of the Cameron Pins
we have uo doubt will vouch for, was
got off by one of the Emporiumites:

of the Ilydo House lot, and Jas. Magin

going to plant some just as soon as tho
weather settles. This is certaiuly a
step in the right direction, and wo hope
to be able to chronicle in a short time,
that every person in town who owns

Last Friday morning Uarry Alfred, en
gineer, and A. K. Pierce, conductor, were
arrested at Rcnovo on a charge of causing
the death of Albert Brehtn.the any previous
by carelessness, Tho facts of the case
ns near as we are able to g'ean them are
that the engineer and conductor, above
mentioned, were running on a special train
from Williamsport to Emporium nnd had
come to St. Mary's to turn their engine
1 eaving the "car nt Emporium. At St-
Mai-f 's they received orders to pun to Em.
porium "wild,' but to flag for the gravel
train from Rathbun; the graucl train hav
ing orderf to run soino two miles east of
Rathbun. They sturted on the order, and
had flagged some distance, nnd here it is
claimed that they were dill flagging when
the gravel train running backwards failed
ts notice the flag, and as their engine be
came unmanageable owing to some fault in
the "packing" they were unable to reverse
and that the gravel train running 20 miles
an hou,: run with full force into them. The
man that was killed it is claimed was sit
ting on the front eud of the caboose and the
concussion threw him between the cars
cashing him to de ith. On last Monday
Judge Wetmore came here and admitted
them to bail for nppjarance at the May
term of court in the sum of $-000 with W.

To repeal the Local Option Law. To pro
vide for the appointment, of a' State board
of Centennial Managers. To regulate the
praotice of medicine, surgery aud obstet

To prevent tho sale o intoxicating liquors

tho claims of Emmanuel F. Peters ami
John Lnute. To reimburse A. 11. Waters
for clothing i.nd funeral cxpeufet for sol
diers' orphans.
Some astonishment has been created
iu legal circles Ly a late docisiou of
Judge Vau Vest of !"ew Yoik in a case
to which we have bclere lefcricd. A
young girl of twenty-three had deter
mined to marry a nun ot lii'ty-tvo. The
latter, beiore his marriage, secK-tiy con
veyed 130,000 of real estate in Mew
York city to his daughters as a present.
'Ibe wife discoveiicg the f;;ct alter
marriage immediately brought an astiou
to have tho conveyance set aside on thp
ground that it iraudult-utly deprived
her of the dower right iu the property,
which expected doner light was part of
tLe consideration which iuductd her to
marry the man. Judge Van Vorst de
cided that the conveyance should be set
aside, and thus established the rule that
a wife bad a dower right not only in
the real estate belonging to her hus
band at any time duting coverture, but
also in auy real estate that he may dis
pose of prior to his marriage and in or
der to lortstall his future wile's claim to
dower. The consequence of this e.tra
oiuiuory decision, unless it be reversed
by a higher court, will be to make the
title to real estate decidedly uncertain
What property owner whose property
has at soy puis within th.u last
twenty years beeu conveyed by an un
man ie J luju who bubicqucut'y married
can be sure that sach conveyance will
uot be set aside on the application of the
wife. Jude Van Vorst evidently ic
ji.irds maniage purely as it contract, and
holds that wiiere the supposed propeity
of the hu.-i.aud is the iuducciiiu.l load
ing ibe wK'e lo n.i.iry him, the coutaci
becomes void if itcati be shown that he
has put Lis property out of his hands.

Washington, April 10. It is evident
that the Srcietury of tho Tioasury ia
disposed to do in his power to put
the country in trim forj-j-ecie payments.
His power in this risj-iet ia very lim
ited. At the into wiiieii the re
duction of the leg-'il tender circulation
progressed, it will Le lrom twelve to
eighteen moulis bckre the Treasury
gets back to the amount outstanding
when the panic cf lfcTo uvciiook the
eouu'ry. Dut uinady there is observed
to be luss demand lot- the new circula
tion, and it eauEot. be expected that the
issue of new banking currency will cou
tinue in the same proportion as during
the past few mouths. There 'ore, tin
greenback contraction will bs scarcely
appreciable. As lo the f-ilvir resump
tion clauso of the great finance act ol
last scssiou, it will amount to little or
nothing, but as it is regarded in some
sense mandatory, the Seeietury is mak
ing all preparations to cany out the
provisions, and he is accumulating sil
ver bullion for coinage, aud new silver
pieces will soon be turned out from the
mint in largo quantities. Nothing will
be easier than lor the Secretary to put
out his silver cjio, but under the
present circumstances it will be utterly
impossible for him to keep it iu cumula
tion. The coin will b3 at a premium
aud will be sold to refiners or exported,
aud tho only way in which silver coin
can be kept iu circulation' is by with
drawing aud destroying fractional cur
rency to such nn amount as to create
the necessity for small chango. Tho
Secretary seems to understand this, lor
he has been steadily cancelling frac
tional currency. In tho last month
more than 600,000 dollars of fractional
currency was withdrawn and destroyed
The present amount outitacding is
something 'over forty-four millious and
the Secretary will have to wilhdiaw
some millions more before he can think
of issuing silver, and even then there
will still be a chance of silver being
gobbled up if gold does not fall to a
lower premium thau the present figure.
Many emincut financiers look upon it
as useless to undertake to put silver hi
circulation until the Treasury is ready,
nearly ready, to pay out gold.
The Iutcrior Department has uot re
ceived any further information concerning
the reported serious trouble at the Chey

in that event he would lie very glad to

Pottsviilo, April 9.--Mr. Wch.li re
turned from Hyde I'uik yesterday, leav
ing Mr. tiaey there. What poiiey they
advised is not known, but the action of
thi miners iu that section at their elec
tion to-day and publio meeting to-night
to decide us to a stake will doubtless
devcli-p the counsels of those leaders,
liis believed here tint both ot them
are really against extending the strike
to tho Hyde Park miners. Mr. Welsh
is regarded with general confidence by
ull cla.-.scs as a siucere unJ honest man
and ho is entitled to much credit tor
maintaining peace in this section with
thousauds of laborers demoralized by
nearly four months of idleness.
Eveiything is quiet in this region,
and disturbances are not apprehended.
The intimations of your llairisbur-'
correspondent thut the miners will
shortly go to work on the reduced
basis, aie very positively contradicted
by those hero who assume to knew the
purposes of the men. They declare
that the miners can maintain tho strike
for three or four mouths yet without
very serious distress, but that I do not
credit. It may bo that immediate sub
mission is not contemplated, but I do
not regard it as possible for a strike to
be maintained for six successive
mouths.
