Koontz appeared for the prisoners. Nicho
las Apple, the prosecutor, was the only wit

evening of the Jlst day of May, lsl, lie was
passing the fjrui of Mr. William Sutler and
feeling very tired lie, with Mr. buder's per
uiissioii, went into bia baru to rest; that he
liau between seven and eight hundred dul

$J60 damages. Nicholas Aj'jile, when on
the stand, admitted to having done con
siderable drinking on tlie day thai he al
leges he as robbed. Judge llaer was not
saiisiied to send the case to a jury before

j As stated in the Herald some weeks ago
.1 . 1 !. , 1
t n i a numuer ni netitions nau ueeii ore-
! sented asking the Court to make general
In lit : Tavers License. Petitions have
been presented to the Coort from a number
of the towns and townships, numerously
signed by very good vitizens who have at
heart the peace and irood morals of their
respective communilii.-s, asking us to make
a general order requiring the publication in
the newspajers of the county of the names
of the persons signing tavern license peti
tions and certifying to the fitness of the
applicant and his house, and the necessity
of a public house; the names of the per
sons making the affidavit and the names of
the bondsmen, to the end that the citizens
of the community in which the tavern is to
located may have an (opportunity of inquir
ing whether thesigivers are reputable citi
zens ; whether the bondsmen are resjionsi
ble and solvent im.-n, and whether the
jiersons making thei affidavit are credible,
and whether the fitness of the applicant, the
character of tlie house, ami the necessity of
a tavern to accomtu odatc the jiublic and en
tertain strangers and travelers is made to
apjear, and to enable them intelligently to
petition a reinonst ranee against the granting
of license.
The law now in force requires that a list
of applicants, witu place of residence and
kind of license shall ts published three
times, and the applicant, wheu tiling his
petition, shall May the clerk 25 cents for pub
lishing notice; a notice under this law may
not occupy iiure than one line, besides the
heading, and .ill licenses applied for at tiie
same term, as a rule, ajjiear under the same
heading. The manifest object of this law is
to afford notice to the public that certain
person has ajqdied for a license to keep a
tavern at some stated place, and that the
application will be heard at a stated time
Any information beyond this is to be ob
tained by any citizen who desires informa
tion ty railing at the ollice of the Clerk of
the Court of Ouarter Sessions and there
demanding inspection of the jietition filed.
and his right to take or jirocure a copy will
not be denied him, neither will any one de
ny his right to exhibit the cojiy to the citi
zens of the particular community for the
jiurjtose of ascertaining the sense oftheciii
zens on the matters ahe-ed therein, so long
as the same is used honestly in the interest
of the public good, and not as a mere cloak
for defamation, or for injuring the signers ol
the peti.ion in the eyes of the community
The hrr ixives the citizen the right to be
heard against the apj'luatiou by jietition
and n monstrance, and the request so re
spectfr.lly made to the Court to have such a
gener.il order of publication made, docs not,
in itself seem unreasonable where the con
venience of the citizens is concerned; for
from some districts in which aiquication
are made the citizens would have as much
as t senty-live miles to travel to reach the
county seat where alone they could get the
information, unless they procured it by
paj ing a fee to some one to procure it for
the. it.
I iut reasonable as this request may seem t
be to tbecitizen, the Court can't rely on this
alone. The granting of license'docs not rest
in liiscre ion, nor does the establishing of
ru its. The Court is bound by the law, and
can onlv use a legal discretion where that is
permitted by the law. It can't exercise a
discretion against the positive commands ol
the law. The law does not in so many
words forbid the making of such an order.
In the exercise of sound discretion, if con
vinced it was in the interest of the jiublic
good, it might so or ler if it had also the
iiowcruf enforcing it : but the order could
not becomjdied with without an increase of
possibly ten times the Jiresent costofpuhli
cation. Fon whom shall the Court im
noe the cost? Some one will say on the
njijilicatit for license: but be will resist and
cite the statute which requires only so much
to be published, and challenge the Court's
light ol making a law that increases these
costs above the leiral requirement. Now.it
is true that notwithstanding the legislative
and not the judicial branch of the govern
ment makes the law. the Court may. under
the law. prescribe rules of practice from time
to time not inconsistent with the laws, and
order them to be ublished at the cost of the
county ; bnt as to the citizen, when the law
requires the publication of the substance of a
writ as notice, the Court cannot direct the
publication of theentire writ (all it contains)
and tax such additional cost of publication
apainst the jiarty. If it were the proper
thing for the Corrt to adojit such a rule, i'
might very well order the rule tobe publish
ed at theexjiense of the county, but pub
lishing the rule itse'f is one thing publish
ing the license pet. tions a totally different
thing.
The proceedings are to be bad in the
(Quarter lesions. In that Court costs are
only given when created or allowed by
statute; no stat ut provides for the cost of
such publication, hence they would rest al
ways upon the party who asks for the publi
cation. If a general order is made now:
upon whom in any particular case shall
costs of publication bej.ut? Calm, dispas
sionate reasoninp among the friends of tem
perance will satisfy them that the powers
of the Court are limited ; that its discretion

Hon. Jacob M. Camjibell has returned
from his holiday vacation, and jierhaps, Mr.
Editor, it may not be out uf place to give a
brief history of the honoreble Representative
of the 17th District.
Hon. Jacob Miller Campbell, of Johns
town, Cambria County, Pa., was born in
Allegheny township, Somerset county, on
November 20. 1H21 ; received a common
school education ; learned the art of jirinting
in the office of the Somerset Whig; from
I Ml tolM7 was engaged in steaiiiboatingoii
the lower Mississippi and Its tributaries ; in
lt-50 was gold-mining in California ; in lS5.'t
aided in building the Cambria Iron Works
at Johnstow n, and remained in the employ
of that Company until the breaking out of
the war in 18C1, when Le entered the mili
tary service as 1st Lieutenant of Coinjiany
O, Third Pennsylvania Volunteers ; in the
fall of same year recruited the 64th regiment
three years' volunteers, and commanded it
as Colonel ; was brevetted Brigadier Gener
al June 5. 18MJ ; was elected Surveyor
General (now called Secretary of Internal
Affairs) of Pennsylvania in l.sti5 lor a term
of three years, and was re-elected in 1SCH
for a like term ; was a delegate lo the Re
jiublican National Convention held in Phil
adeljihia in 1SC5 ; is a Trustee of the Penn
sylvania State College; was a member of the
4."ih, 'ongress and was elected to the 47lh and
4Sth Congress, which is now in session. As
a Rejiresintative Hon. Jacob M. ampbeil
stands high in the estimation of his breth
ren. He discharges his duties faithfully,
and has an eye single to the interests of his
constituents, as well as to the interest of his
country. He is always jmnctual. is a hard
worker at the cajiital, and when at his pri
vate residence dejirives himself of that rest
which his mental and physical nature re-quin-s,
in order to attend to business relating
to others. Wh'lst bis voice is not beard
much in debate, yet he never sjieaks with
out adding something to the subject under
consideration ; ves, when he sneaks he
sjieaks to the point, and not for the purpose
of consuming time or wishing himself to be
heard. After all, it is in the Committee
room that the hard work is done, and there
he is an indefatigable worker. He is a reli
able man ; his yea is yea and his nay is nay,
there is no dissenting with him. Iong may
he live to be a joy and honer to the district
which he has and still is so faithfully
serving.

Coincipem i: ok Imitation ? The bit of
caustic humoreiven below appears in a book
of illustrated etchings by K. Dagley called
Death's Doings, and was jirintnl in ISoston
in 12S, "from the second London edition,
with considerable additions. Ihe copjier
ilatesare followed by illustrations in jxietry
and june, by a variety of writers. Among
the designs is one entitled "The Antiquary,"
and shows that it is liable to be surprised by
death in the midst of his valued relics, and
that whi'e he is making a monumental rec
ord of antiquity, an epitaph mav be jirepar
ing for himself. In illustration, the design
er has written a paper on Antiquarian re
searches, ill which he admits the possibilty
of introducing death as a conseqnenceof an
tiquarian researches, but denies that anti
quarians die of chagrin, although several
i a uses mentioned might prove fatal. "In
deed," lie writes. ' had it been possible for
an antiquary to have died of chagrin, it
must have occurred in the case below cited,
which we havecxtrai ted from the Fiiroean
Magazine for March 17' 0. where a learned
jTofessnr is described as having been be
' rayed by a hoax into a situation the most
mortifying and trying to the temper that
can be imagined."
The extract is the following: Archaeologic
al Anecdote, 17s! We hear that a valua
ble morsel of antiquity, containing Saxon
inscrijition commemorative of particulars
attending the death of Ilardyiuute, has been
discovered among the foundations of his
Palace of Kennington Lane. This memorial
is in Faxon characters, sculptured on white
marble which, though discolored by damps.
is still in high and excellent preservation.
The curiosity before us, but foran accident,
might have returned to its former obscurity.

general improvement of its auditors, in Som

discourse, that the lrsonaces present at its i
recital ;a Lydgate observes of the fortunate
Trojans who beheld the carbuncle that il
luminait'd tlie Ilali .f King Priamus):

the fatal horn itself, decorated with the
Danish raven, affords sufficient reason fur
belief that the imitative arts, even at that

waiting, with every mark of impatience, fur
a plate representing this precious marble, as
ell as fora jicrnsal of Mr. Tegge s illustra
tion of it. in the next volume of the Socie
ty's Archaeological Collection. Bnt not
withstanding this venerable relic ba passed
Ihe ordeal of such well instructed and micro
scopic eyes, a set of ridiculous and shallow
critics are to be met with who either igno-
rantly or maliciously pronounce the whole
inscription, etc.. to be the forgery ff some
modern was. They say that it was designed
ly left with the cutler as a trap lor a certain
antiquary, who deliberately and obligingly
walked into it that its exhibition was ac
companied with a specious request from its
clandestine owner, that he might be assisted
by the learned, in ascertaining the quality
of the stone, and the true import of the mys
tic characters upon it ; though he perfectly
knew that the substance containing these
letters, etc, was no other than a bit of broken
chimney-piece. Paxonified by himself in the
year 1TS9. The same malignant junto like-
w.se disseminate a report, that the capitals j
in question are not engraved bat corroded
by aquafortis, a chemical invention poeteri
or to the reign of IlardyhiiUe. Nay. to
snch extremes do real or affected predjudices
against a genuine piece of Saxon literature
transport these scoffers, that they venture to
assert that all the captivating discolorations
on its surface are the mere effects of repeated
urinary spirnkles, which by dgrees induced
a mellow cast of antiquity over the wbele
tablet. They moreover declare that iprt deii
fubribator contrived to procure admission
for some cf his associates, on the very even
ing when the dissertation of Mr. T?i:e wa
read bv a Fro. rerrctary, and that time ac
complice are every wbeie describing it as
production intentionally Jocular, and dd
that it was an unsuspectingly listened to
me society an was tne performance or a
Dutch translation of Fielding's Tom Thumb
which the Itargomasters of Amsterdam re
ceived, from rsl to last, with that profound
and silent attention which becomes an en
lightened audience at a deep tragedy. Last
ly, they would wantonly persuade their
hearers that thescniur Secretary, if experi
ments were thought needful on the occa
sion, most zt uiounJy offered to claim a horn
j of equal dimensions with that of Hardys
jtiiiifir, provided at were first replenished

said Secretary, had often quaffed, (though
with strict moderation, add merely to wash
down the cobwebs of Archx-olopy) on
Thursday evenings at the Somerset Coffee

''How much is the impertinent levity of
this age to be dejdored ! Pity it is that the
poems of Rowley and the record of llardy
knulc'i death were destined to emergedurirg
such ait era of laughter, scepticism and in
credulity." Did Mr. Dickens look into the
Kurojiean Magazine for March 17'jO, ur one
of the London editions of Mr. Day ley's
books, and make an antiquarian discovery
for himself before he scut Pickwick with the
disconsolate Lupiaau to walk along the
streets of Cobhaiu? The question becomes
all the more jx-rtinent upon a comparison
of the two pieces of humorous literature. A
similar vein of covert railcry runs through
both. The Rev. I'egge furnished an ample
comment ujion the Kennington stone,
whereujHin "formal thanks were unani
mously voted for so erudite a communica
tion." Mr. Pickwick lectured ujion the dis
covery (of the Cobham stone) at a gener
al club meeting and entered into
a variety of ingenious and erudite specula
tions on the meaning of the inscription."
Was ihci'obhaiu antiquarian discovery
an original conception of the master of
English fiction, or did he commit a literary
theft, and dress uji an ancient hoax in
somewhat different costume for the delecta
tion of the readers of Pickwick Papers?

The school has been in session three
months, all,j i5 the only one in the county.
Pupiis from three to ten years of age are ad
mitted. Everything that is calculated to
make school life pleasant and desirable is
here introduced. Intead of cramming and
dwarfing the mind with arbitrary rules and
abstract definitions, so that the child soon
becomes surfeited and votes the school an
intolerable bore, the child's mind is ap
proached in such a manner as to awaken
and create an intense thirst for knowledge.
Parents find it imjiossihle to keep their
children at home, unless prevented by
sickness.

wonderful culture in inflection and empha
