Fiom the Sun. New Yeat's customs In Russia are Inteiestlng. In the moining the ptinces of the linpeilal family, peisonages of the couit, functionaries of the capital, and sei vants of the palace come In reg ular order to present their homages and good wishes to the Emperor, who kisses all the membeis of his family and all the high otllcalls thtee times, accoidlng to the Russian fashion. On Easter Sunday the Emperor Is obliged by custom to kiss In the same manner eveiy Individual he meets even the lowest of his subjects, the most miserable of beggars. This kiss Is In tended to call the Russian's attention to the fact that they aie all brothers In the oithodox lellglon. But on New Year's clay the Emperor gives his fiateinnl kiss, as we have said, to his family and the high func tionaries In his service only; and the people in the stteets kiss each other or not. The fnvoied ones who have been kissed by the Czar are peunltted to kiss the hand of the Empiess. The ceremony of hand kissing was sup pressed for a time, but it was le-estab-llshed a few yeais ago under the lelgn of Alexander III, The festivities commence on the 21st of December, and aie ended on the fith of Januuiy. Dining these two weeks the young people gather together to play games and to dance. On New Yeai's Day, at bieakfast, dinner, and supper, the guests, standing around the table, touch glasses, ill ink the health of the Empeior, and offer good wishes to each other. Masteis give piesents to their seiv ants, but don't gle piesents to each other, as they do on Christmas. On Chiistinns Day, lu all the families, the table Is sot with prolusion, and hos pitality is offeied to everybody. In high society they diink champagne, while the common people, ill ink biandy. At this time, also, they devote them selves to auguial piaetlces. They thiow melted leud Into water, anil Horn the (Igtnes fanned by the suddenly cooled metal they endeavor to make hoio scopes. The young gills tiy to learn whether they will be mauled, and to know something of the face, the quali ties, and the fortune of their future husbands. At midnight they sit down between two minors by tho side of which two candles aie placed. They look In one minor and into the other until they can see twelve lights. In this way some of the gills ianey they see lu the mil lot the linage of their lluuee, and that gives them hope. Theie Is also the Epiphany, the Day of Kings. It is the 111 st feast of the lUisslun year. The blesslnfj of w'ater is run led on with great pomp. The Em peior, preceded by the clergy of the oithodox ehuich, presided over by 'the Plshop of Novgoiod, pioceeds from the "Winter Palace to the Newi, wheie a wooden chapel Is elected. It Is sur mounted by a ci oss, and lu the Intel lor there aie paintings lepiebeutlug the baptism of Chi 1st. A hole is made In tho ice, the assist ants lecelve the usuul prayer, and lu fiont of the ultnr, wheie theio aie lellcs and holy books, tho lllshop lunges the cioss Into the water of the river three times. Then, with a little water, which he takes up In a pieclous vase, ho spi Inkles the assistants. In tin n the, people appioaeh the hole, and each one cum let) away some of the holy water.

' THE APPLICATION WAS DEFECTIVE lint, Anyhow-, tho Judge Says, the llorougli Would Not IIuvo llucn I'nvorcd, Ilecnusi) There Is Xo Ex cuse for lt--Tvo Opinions by.ludgo i:duird9--l!unlrttptcy Discussed nt Length in Otic of Them. Payne borough Is not to bo. Judge Archbuld in an elaborate opinion hand ed down yesteiday afteinoon dismissed the petition and dltected the peti tioned s tof pay the costs. In tho opinion he Hist discussed the exceptions and then the ineilts of the petition. The flint exception in Itself, lie holds, Is sulllcient for the denial of the chin ter. The net of 1SH.", which Im poses on couit. Instead of the grand July, us heietofoie, the duty of passing upon the met Its of such eases, pioceeds Unit notice of the application for char ter shnll be published forut least thlity days pi lor to the regular teim of com mon pleas at w hich It Is to be presented. In the piesent case this was not done, the potltloneis, evidently following the pipscilptlons of the lepeuled law in the innttor of advertising. Kelatlve to the ineilts of the case Judge Aichbald says: Pi oin the knowledge, which we peison all and Judicially have of the locality, as well as from the evidence which has been laid befoie us, we do not think that the application should be gi anted. The tciiltoii docs not lu any respect hae the ehaiactetlstlcs which call for Its incoi poratlou Into a boiougb. It viubiuies poitlons of the townships of Lackawan na anil Old i'oige, but what theio Is to ussoclate together the two paitlcillar paits of tliLse townships which base been taken, it Is dlllleult to see. That one is Lontlguous to the other is about all that siems to have bi ought It about. As to tin pint taken from Old Foige theie Is haidly a house oi a road In It. VACANT TrmniTOKY. It Is just so much ncant teirltoiy, val uable foi la'slng taes no doubt, because the most ot It Is coal land, but without the suggestion of an oigaulied community. Such as we expect to line! In the nucleus or a boiough. It Is Just us well oil as It Is, ami theie is no occasion lor SLpaiatlng It li om tho township to which ll now belongs. As to the puitlon which Is taken from Lackawanna, It Is largely ot the s'aine chaiactei as that taken from Old Foige. Theie aie, It Is ti lie, tluee oi perhaps four dlffeient colkctlons of millets' houses in it, but the me each half a mile oi more apait and theie Is a vast amount of noth ing outside ot and ill between them. The small settlement at the Continental mines lies Immediately adjacent to tho city of Seianton, and Is quite closely Idea tilled with that pait of the city. It It has need of municipal government It Is fiom that dlieetlon that It ought natuially to come, and the umu may be said ot the still few ci houses neai the Sloan mines. The people about the Aichbald and the l'jne cullleiles, on the other hand, ate uiilto close Is allied with those at TaIor, Hilly as much '-o Indeed as with each oth ei, and could well be joined to that pios perous boiough. Theie is nothing ill their own condition to have them made into a Loiough bj themselves. In this teeming Lackawanna valley on the western edge of which this teuitoiy Is lound wheie one town ciowds upon the next so that you pass from one to the other almost without notice, it is quite slgiillleant that tho tertitory now pioposcd to be tinned Into a borough piesents no such featuies, but lemalns vacant and un settled the same as it has long been. With the coal mining business ut its full height theie Is no piospect that existing condi tions theie will change, or that any of tho mining settlements embraced In this petition will ever grow together or ad vance to the position where organised municipal contiol as a single community will be called for over them. NO REAL NECESSITY. These are the considerations which en ter Into and of necessity contiol our Judg ment. We must be sutlslled that theie is some leal occasion for the ci cation of this boiough before we would bo Justllied In Incorporating it. Meie disputes and dlt feiences between this part of the town ship and the lest of it as to schools nnd taxes cannot be made the basis ot our ac tion. These might have weight 111 con junction with other things, but by them selves they amount to nothing. Township centets glow Into villages, villages Into boroughs, and boioughs Into cities; but the one must advance to the other by a natural giowth and the opeiatlon of ordi nary Impelling causes. Theie must be the elements of a borough betoie the Inhubl 'tants uie In shape to ask for a boiough charter.

Judge Edwnids, jesterdny afternoon, handed duwn an 'opinion discharging tho rule for a now trlul asked for by tho plaintiff In tho case of A. B. Mtinn against Ellznbeth Orlflln. Tho opinion, which Is over two columns in length, denls as It necessarily must,, with the piovislons of tho bankruptcy act. It appeals Anion Orlllln signed a Judgment note In favoi of B. 11. Tluoop and H. H. Phelps for $1,500, upon which judgment wus enteied Juno 11, LSU7. Up on his own petition atllllu was ad judged a bankiupt Sept. 13, 187S. Of the proceeds of the banklilpt's estate, some thing over $2,000 was applied upon the judgment. Oillllii died June 20, hWi. Eleven years after his deuth and seven teen yeais after judgment was. enteied, A. B.

Now, the plaintiff claims that his judgment was a lien on this land before the bankruptcy and tliut he can pioceed to attach it. Judge Edwauls holds that he must piove a lien existing befoie bunkiuptcy against the specific leal estate he In tends to follow. The evidence' In the case Is insutllcieiit to establish this and hence the new tilal Is it-fused. In the case ot M. Kaplan against J. S.

A. P. Stokes, Simon Lauer, C. W. Westpfnhl and Henry T.
