Tub GEUDEMAt Lecture. The Democratic
t'omm issioners appear to have become suddenly
conscience stricken iu regard to allowin; ex
Priest Gerdeman to deliver his lecture lu the
Court House. As the" Court House has been
used on several occasions for religious purposes
and lectures of various kinds, even Mormon
lectures, it looks somewhat strange that Mr.
Gerdeman should by refused to deliver his lec
ture, "The Roman Church of to-day." More
thnn taree-fonrfbs of those who helped to pay
for the Court Hnust would, no 1ouM,lIke to
hear the lecture, which has been delivered to
large audiences in nearly every large city and
town In this aad neighboring Slates ; but be
cause the Democratic Commissioners bave been
advised by the leader of tbe Democratic Ring in
this county, through their organ, that the lec
ture might ehauga tome Democratic Tottrs,
they decline its use with the expectation th.it It
will be made a fl ?zt. We arc opposed to drag
ging politics iuto rhurch affairs, or in any man
ner to proscribe nny church on account of their
religious faith, aud, therefore, favor the grant
ing the use of the public buildings to any re
ligious denomination or sect to advocate their
doctrine, so long as it docs uot interfero with
our courts or special purpose for w hich it was
built. If Mr. Gerdeman's lecture Is such that
it will aggrieve certain sects, we say let the
drors open for a reply by the aggrieved parties.
The more thee matters are discussed the more
enlightened wo become. But to close the doors
to one particular party, because it is feared it
might be offensive to parties and rnin one or
the others political prosiecl!, Is certainly no: sal
isfactoiy to either political party Iu general.
How Isht Das Vok High. "Nothing like the
eternal limes of tbiuss.' There was & French
rau can show in Sunoury on Tuesday nigh:.
All tbe editors and re-ortcrs of the Da'ny were
in attendance." H 'atontoicn Record.
This last paragraph is a mistake. It was In
tended for the Suubury Gazette, whose hat was
politely removed when tbe curtain lose. By ac
cident tbe name of the Daily was im-erted.
Auten has since explained the matter and a) Olo-
gized to us, persoually. Daily of Feb. 1th.
There i a mit'ake somew here. The editor of
the Gaztttt last week pulled the can cau as fol
low :
"TUe can can, last Tuesday evening, is repre
sented to have beeu a poor imitation of the
original. Aooording to tl.e account of it given
by the boys, it hadu t even the questionable
merit of being red hot."
Now if Joliu was with tbe "boys"' and showed
his polileuess by taking off bis hat, we dou't see
that there is room to make a fuss about it. If
be is a little unsophisticated he showed bis ap-
preciation at least by beiug polite enough to re
move his hat "wheu (le band began to play.'
Roach Versus BosTiA.-De.tcetive Koacb from

At the corner of Suubury aud Washington streets

Iu reply to the above, we will st.it e that wa
havt consulted tome of the best legal advisers at
the bar, who say it was supitoscd that a Justice
of the Peace had no Interest in a case before him,
and the fact that a Justice who would enter a
transcript from hit own docket hi court, and
then to pursue the claim by execution to collect
the. money, was almost positive evidence that

Tue Republican ticket for ttiis borough has
been formed, and as far as we are able to learu
is pretty gcuerally satisfactory. In the. 6elee
tion of candidates lor borough officers too much
precaution cannot be taken to select men who
are disinterested personally in borough affairs,
nnd who hive not in view selfish Interests. Such
persons are generally crowding Into Ward meet
ings, and have themselves nominated before the
voters bave time to cousMer whether the nprni
nation Is a proper one. fn oor borough council
nominations we find tome who take leas Interest
in the tax-payett than in flillug their own pock
et. For several yeare we have had evidence of
this fact. The tax-payert were forced to pa
several thousand dollars to open streets and pay
for land bought and used solely for the benefit
of one individual who wat a representative in
the council, and who hot ever tlnee been aspiring
to return, ne was elected because he was a Re
publican, and since defeated because all knew
that personal Interest was his ruling motive.

In tuk Oats Btsisess. Sometime ago a man
from Lower Augusta appeared at tbe office of
Patterson, Llewellyn & Co., and wanted to sell
some oats. He was sent to Big Mountain Col
liery where tbe oat was weighed aud a receit
L'iveu for 6 Si pounds. This receipt wat to be
brought back to the maiu office where It was to
be paid. The inuu changed the receipt from SU2
to 1802 pounds and received pay for tbe latter a
inount. This week he auin appeared aud want
ed to sell more outs but he was recognized and
arrested. He finally agreed to settle the bnsi
nces but what was done iu the matter we do Lot
know. He gave bis name as Isaac Hoover,
which however wa uot correct,' as his Uli'ctHy
was easily proven. ALainvkln Time.

Proclamation.
Fellow Citizens : As it behooves a great
people, the cllirens of these United Slates, the
whole world and "the rest of mankind," to be
economical In all theii purchases, thereby sus
tain life, comfort aud happiness, und to save
money these bard times, aud lay by something
for a "rainy day," therefore I, Moses of tbe
firm ot Marx A Bro., next door to the post office,
proclaim the glad tidings, Hint a full supply of
new goods have just been received from tbe
eastern cities, and are now open for inspection,
and thai greater inducements than ever are offer
ed. Owing to buying all for rash, we can sell
at lower prices than any one else ontslde of the
citv. We bave a greater stock of goods In our
line, and sell cheaper than cnu be found outside
of tbe citv of Philadelphia. We offer now the
first arrival of Hamburg edgings of our own
importations. We invite everybody to call as
it is no trouble to show goods, whether you buy
or not. Our terms are cash, and don't foigel
your pocket book, and the place where you can
buy the cheapest.
Wc remain your obedient servants,

lit 4. A. I. CCMMISG3, PHOTHOSOTABT, N. 1.
Commonwealth vs. Henry Pcifer. Error to
the Court of Oyer and Terminer of Northnm.
berland county. To Sept. Terra, 1S74. Opinion
filed Sanitary Slst, 1876. W. A. Sober for Com
monwealth. S. P. Wolverton, Geo. Hill, Sol.
Malick, for defendant.
Per Curiam. This case diffeit lrom. any de
cided case. The first proceeding was la ti-e
Court of Quarter Sessions for a misdemeanor,
aud a true bill being found, the indictment wat
afterward quashed. Tbe defendant wat then
held in recognizance to appear at the next court
of Qnarter Sessions, when, by an order of tbe
court, the recognizance wat certified Into the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, and an indictment
tent up for a felony. On this the defendant
wat tried in the Court of Oyer and Terminer.
The offence wat different, and the trial wat in a
different court, eo that the costs in the Court of
Quarter Sessions upon the quashed Indictment
can with uo propriety be deemed costs of tbe
prosecution.in tho Oyer and Terminer.
We seo no error in the ruling out of these
costs.
Taxation and order confirmed.
J. A. Cake, who sues for himself aud for the
Commonwealth, vs. E. R. Jucoby. despatcher
of the Pennsylvania railroad company, Lessee,
&c. Error to Common Pleas of Northumber
land county. To September Term, 1574. Opin
ion filed Jauuary 31st, 1S7G. T. n. B. Kasa for
plaiuliff. H. T. Beurdsly for defendants.
Per Curium. The act of 20ih March, 1845,
under which this proceeding took place, is ex
press in its terras that if an engineer or agent of
a railroad company shall obstruct or block up
a crossing of a public road or street, he shall
be subject to a penalty of f 25, to be recovered,
with costs, In the name of the Commonwealth
before a justice or the peace. This action was
not 60 brought, bet was brought in tbe name of
Cake himself, who had no authority to sue.
The charge also was merely for having allowed
the crossing to be blocked up. The act fixes the
penally not on one who merely allow or per
mits a crossing to be obstructed, but on the per
son doing the act. The act being penal cannot
be extended by construction.
Judgment of tho Common Pleas affirmed in
each case.
S. O. Reed, assignee, dec, of J. F. Lerch, vs.
Ira T. Clement. Error to Common Pleas or
Northumberland county, to September terra,
1874. Opinion filed January 31st, 1876. Sol.
Malick, W. A. Sober, for plaintiffs, T. II. Purdy
for defendant.
Per Curiam. This case U governed by the de
cision in Thomas vs. Smith, 6 Wright, 68. It is
as much an improvement under the act of 1853
us the ice-house described in Thomas vs. Smith.
The eases of Schenly'e appeal, 20th P. F. Smith,
US, and Schmidt A Co. vs. Armsliong, P. F.
Smith, 355, left Thomas & Smith unimpaired.
Judgment affirmed.
We tie permitted to copy the following ex
tract from a letter written by a young man In
Weft Virginia, to a fiieud in this placo :
Winchfstek, W. V., Jan. 27, 1876.
Dear Sir :
As I am ut leisure just now, I
thought I would write you a line and call your
attention to a great speculation in lands, which
is, in my opinion, one among the most protnis-
ng fields for enterprise I kuow of. It is this,
and timber men in your country would do a rich
thing by looking into it.
In Tucker county, West Virginia, on the wa
ters of the 31ackwater river, on the proposed
route of the Washington and Ohio railroad, and
10ja' miles from Oakland, on the B. & O. R. R.,
there is a tract of nearly ten thousand acres of
the rim t quality of farming land not moun
tainous or billy, bnt gently nndnlatlne, and
when cleared all nice, tillable land.
The whole tract Is heavily (I might say)
densely covered with wild cherry, oak, plue and
other growths of most valuable timber.
The wild cherry is enormously large, from
four to five feet in diameter, and many of them
said to be tixty feet high before you strike a
limb.
This lumber delivered ou thu cars at Oukland
brings thirty-five dollars per thousand feet.
Other growtht of timber on this land it said to
be from four to s'.x feci in diameter, and all of
the finest quality.
Timothy grass grows most luxuriantly and Is
a spontaneous production. -.
Beside all this minerals ai 1b abundance,
coal, etc.
Now this tract can at this lime be bought
for five dollar and fifty cent per acre, one half
cash, the residue Iu one aud two years, with in
tercut, ut tlx per centum per annum, secured by
deed of trust upon the whole properly. There
is none of the tracts that I know of cleared, but
if it were aud wat supplied with suitable im
provements, would bring tec times the amount
foi w hicb il is now offered.
Tbe title is uudispulublc, having been con
veyed to the present owners by the Common
wealth of Virgiuia, and date away back to the
olden times. If a company of capitalist would
unite aud develope the mineral resource aud
eugage iu tbe manufacture of lumber, clearing
aud Uiiuiug the land under cultivation, I think
it would be oue of the richest operations extant.
I huve gotten my iuformaliou from those who
have seen and beeu on the land, but themselves
are too poor to do anything more than look on
aud admire. Tour bumble servant too. If a
company would fona I would cast myself iuto
the ring and go wit.i them. The owners mostly
reside here and can be easily reached, so that
any iuformaliou dneired cau be given.
The taxes on this land, I am informed, are
regularly paid up, uud the whole thing stands
luarely out to enterprise aud capital.
I remaiu your Irieud,
