resenting a little barrel with hoops, and
bung hole in the middle of the side. It was
bought by Mr. Yoder at the sale of Mr. Jo
seph Johns the founder of Johnstown

presume that in it Mr. Johns did not always
have water when he was tilling the fields be

physician is confident tbat it can be entirely
removed in the course of a few more months,
an! tbat she will be restored to perfect
health.

attention of the Fayette county Court for
several days last week, resulted in verdict
of acquittal, tbe jury finding the prisoner
not guilty.
Tbe Tate and Tasker fanii ies were in feud
for some years prior to the killing, the trou
ble arising through jealousy of a young

members of both families attended a shoot
ing match at Hardin hollow, in the moun
tains above Haydentown. As the Tankers
were going borne Ira Tate shot and killed
Russell Tasker. His story on the stand was
that he was at home and bad gone to bed,
when the Taskers came along and attacked
the bouse, swearing they would kill him.
Tbey made an attack on the bouse, break
ing in the door and window with a single
tree, and as Russell Tasker was entering the
window Ira shot him witb a gun.

Why a Local Paper Deserves Sup
port.
At a recent business convention Governor
Francis, of Missouri, who is in position to
know whereof be speaks, paid tribute to the
local newspaper:
4 Each year tbe local paper gives from $300
to$o 0U0 in free lines to the community in
which it is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in proportion to
his means, does more for his town than any
other ten men, aud in all fairness to him he
ought to be supported, not because you like
him or admire his writings, but because tbe
local paper is the best investment a commu
nity can make. It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thought, but finan
cially it is of more benefit to tbe communi
ty than the teacher or preacher.
' Understand me, I do not mean mental
ly or morally, but fioancially, and yet on
tbe moral question yon will find most of the
local papers on the right side. To-day the
editors of the home papers do the most for
the least money uf any people on the lace of
the earth."
Howorth's Comedy Company.
Lust night the opera bouse was filled by
persons who had gone to wituess the Come
dy of Blunders. To say this troop is not
first-class would be stating something thst is
not true. It was langh from the beginning
and utterly devoid of vulgarity, and the per
sons who failed to go last night missed a
treat. The scenery of the different places
and resorts in Ireland are doubly worth tbe
price of admission. Tbe clog and jig danc
ing wai the best ever seen in this city. Tbe
book peddler has no equal anywhere. Our
theatre-going people are anxious that this
troupe should sometime return in the future
and then the opera bouse wilt be packed and
animed to its utmost capacity. Chronicle,

Coroners' Costs.
Some time ago Judge A- D. Haaen, of
Lawrence county, decreed that no costs
should be paid tbe Coroner and witnesses in
cases of sadden death, except in cases where
there wss a strong suspicion of foul play.
Since tbat time the County Commissioners
have refused to pay costs.
A few days ago tbey bethought to consult
their attorney on the subject. The attorney,
it seems, ditTeis from the court, and gives
very good reasons for it. He says :
' It is a settled law iu Pennsylvania that
whenever the Comner holds an inqnest the
presumption is tbat he acts in good faith,
and nntil that presumption is overthrown
by evidence the county is bound to pay the
costs of the inquest. When a verdict is filed
tbe only defense tbe county can make to tbe
payment of the costs of tbe inquest ia by
producing evidence io rebut the presumption
thst the Coroner acted in good faith, nnd
unless that fact is established by sufficient
evidence the presurupsjon in favor of the
good faith of the Coroner remains, and the
county !s bound to pay tbe coats of bis pro
ceedings,'1 Bright Woman.
Wbo are anxious to accomplish the best
results, for tbe least money, should examine

Boundary Lines.
Secretary Stewart in his annual;' report
of the Department of Internal Affairs will
refer to the boundary line monuments and
the duty imposed wben the several boards
of county commissioners of tbe counties
adjoining the boundary between this State
and other Stales, providing for an exami
nation of the monuments every five years.
Their reports are filed in the department.
Secretary 8tewart questions the value of
this law owing to the inability of the county
commissioners to carry out its provisions.
The New York law provides for triennial
examinations of the monuments and co
operation with tbe proper authorities io
this State in exsmining and relocating the
monuments. Reference is made in the re-
xiort to the joint examination of the monu
ments of the New York and Pennsylvania
authorities last year Most of tbe monu
ments are in good condition. Wherever
it was necessary to reset any of them pains
were taken to locate them so deep as to be
beyond tbe danger of impairment by frost,
and each monument bas been so completely
described in the report that future com
missions appointed to examine them should
have no difficulty in determining their
location. It is recommended tbat tbe
Legislature should provide for triennial
examinations and tbe old law repealed.
Secretary Stewart thinks tbe examinations
could be made much cheaper.

A Strange Protest.
From tbe Connellsville Courier.
Tbe most peculiar protest ever made to tbe
filing of a will in Fayette county was beard
Saturday, wbea the will of Israel Cope, of
Jefferson township, was offered for probate.
Cope died last week and mide bis will a few
days before bis death. One of tbe witnesses
to the will wss Samuel Steen, a neighbor of
Cope's. He protested against tbe filing of
the paper on tbe ground that the testator
was of unsound mind wben the testameut
was made and signed. The protest was a
puzzler both to Register and Recorder Binns
and to many attorneys whose opinion was
asked. No one was able to decide, having
no knowledge of a similar case, and the Reg
ister is holding the matter open until be can
satisfy himself as to his legal duty in tbe
matter.
Cope was quite wealthy. The bulk of his
property is among his sons, leaving his
daughters only small sums with a proviso
tbat any heir wbo contests tbe will loses
what was left them by that instrument. It
ia quite probable tbat an attempt will be
made to break the will if it is admitted by
tbe Register.
Somerset Normal.
A teachers' Normal School will be opened
at this place on or about May the 20th. We
shall spare no efforts to make this one of the

Howorth's Hlbernlca
Howorth's Hibemica Cora, dy and Spec
ialty Company appeared before a large audi
ence at Music Hall last evening and made a
most favorable impression, judging from the
hearty applause that was frequently evoked.
The 14 Two Dans" were so cleverly made up
that it was very difficult to distinguish them
apart. The songs and jigs were especially
good and were enthusiastically encored.
The play fairly bubbles over with mirth and
wit, and the characters were all acceptably
presented. Tbe entertainment will be re
peated tbis evening, and the merits of the
performance should insure large attendance.
