The Williamsport G 4 B says: Nearly
every exchange that comes to this office
has an item stating that 18,000,000 feet of
lumber has been rafted out of thr William

right as far as it goes, but it is only 167,
709,110 feet short of the truth. The exact
amount of lumber rafted nut of the boom
this sensou was 185,768.919 feet, an in
c ease of 5,034,537 over tbe operations of

Mr. McSair, as we bear it, went near tbe
well with a lighted lantern before the dril

the shanty and well. The ejplosioa threw
the driller several feet burniug him and
Mr. MoNair badly and shaking up things
in a lively manner in all directions. On
Thursday the gas in tbe well was still burn

An importuut decision was tendered
by Jud?,e Gordon, ot the Supreme
Court the other judges concurring a
short time since in regard to interest
paid by debtors of National Banks. The
following are the points ufiirmed.
1. If a National Bank takes more
than legal interest, it forfeits the en
tire interest.
2. Usurious interest taken by a
National Bank may be delaulted against
the amount sued for by the bank.
3. The Pennsylvania act of Assem
bly which limits the time in which
usurious interest may be recovered back
to six months does not apply to trasac
tions with National Banks.
Once in a while ire gel an encourag

and better business than during any

The law sf tho Bail
Some one, who has taken the trouble
to post himself on the law governing
railroad passenger travel, gays that extra
charges for failures to buy tickets are
universally sustained by the courts, bu
there must be a full oppotunity to buy
afforded by the ticket seller. Passi-n
uers mdst show tickets when asked for
As to stopping off, there is only one de
cisiou, which is that a passenger cannot
stop off, aud resumo his journey, with
out the previous assent ol" (be company.
As to the obligation of the road to
furnish a seat to a passenger, a decision
say: ''A passenger who exhibits his
ticket need not surrender it uutil he
has been furnished with a scat." A
railroad is not liable lor Ihiuns sto'crt
out of a passenger's scat, (here being no
previous delivery to the company's ser
vaots; for the same reason tlm compauy
is not liable tor baggage iu the paison
ger'a own care. Passeugers who neg
lect to look alter their own baggage on
artival at their destination caouot re
cover it if it is lost without fault of the
carrier. Baggage left in station houses
lor the oass mirer's convenience, after
it bus reached its destination, comes uu
der a new class of rights and duties, the
baggage masters assuming the position ot
a gratuitous bailee, who only becomes li
able in cases of gross negligence. The ob
ligation of tho railroad as carrier ceases
wheu it bas delivered to its owner al
the place of destination, or when bo has
had reasonable opportunity of reoeiving
and removing it. It will interest sports
men to know tbat they recover tor the
value of dogs when they intrust them to

The Erie D!P"tch has this to say of
"Old Lake Erie."
'Old Lake Erie" is probably the
most civilised and tempestuous fresh

great American States, viz, Pennsylva

three "of which are sequently the most
wealthy and populous.

of (he St. Lawrence chain, yet ktrange
to say, is five hundred and sixty. five

and be inn shallow, is Jacgeious lot
heavy wiuds.
I he American shore is made ot l'ort
ige shales and erey sandstone. Al
Clevrlaud the shores are one hundred
and tin eo teet hiuh. The lake is gen
erally called, and we believed correctly.
to be two hundred aud lorty miles long
by forty miles wide, and one-third of a
thousand teet above the surlaee of Lake
Ontario.
This lake is of snvape obluseness;
and with the exception ot Eric, Huffaio
iind'Clevelaiid, it has no harbor ol
much cotisequenco. and receives no
considerable rivers; so it is surrounded
by railroads, which do the best busi
ness wheu it is frozen last, trotu Ie-
ccmbet to April.
Hut it is crossed in the rest ol the
year by nearly $400,01)0,000 of property
and product. 1 he Caspian bca slinks
