Horace E. Taylor, a banker of
Williamsport. who failed some nine
mouths ago, and was subsequently ar
rested by some important depositors,
was arraigned before the Lvcominir
inihial court for gmbcAzlement of
some f 300. The defence claimed that
the money on deposit ceased to be the
property of depositors and became the
property of defendent, and therefore
he could not embezzle his own funds.
The prosecution attempted to prove by
depositors that they had placed money
in liis bank When Judge Mayer ruled
that under the Act of Assembly in
18(52 the evidence of the depositors
could net be admitted. The court then
ordered the case ml. prosd, and Tay
lor was discharged.
The Library Magazine the first
number of which has just reached us,
is unique in its formand typographical
appearance. Even though its contents
were dull, it is so attractive to the eye
that one must delight in turning its
pages, which present a varied array of
choice selections from the latest foreign
magazines and reviews. Sir Erskiue
Perry, many years a resident of that
country, discusses "The Future of
India;" Richard A. Proctor treats of
"Supposed Changes in the Moon ;" T.
Adolphus Trollope writes of "The
Homes and Haunts of the Italian Poet,
Guuriui;" thero is a learned and en
tertaining article on "The Phoenicians
in Greece;" and of lighter but not
trivial articles there are : "Theutrical
Makeshifts and Blunders;" "The
Happy Valley" a picture of life in
India; "An Imperial Pardon," which
gives a wonderful picture of peasant
life in Russia; "Some Gossip about
Leicester Square;" "A Woman's
Love" a Slavoniau Story; "Christ
mas In Morocco," etc.
To all who have been longing forthe
era of low-priced, first-class literature,
not the least attractive feature of The
Library Magazines its low price, $1 a
year, or 10 cents a copy.
To see so much that is excellent of
fered for so little cost is sure to put a
smile on the face of a person of lite
rary taste, and a dime or dollar into
the hands of the publishers. The
