A young liinbofthe law named Mar tin, f Johnstown, takes upon himself through the columns of the Democrat, of that city, to criticise the verdict of th jury and incidentally the c mduet of tho Somerset county Court iu the case of the RiJdy boys.

When a man coiiniiiui mur der they believe he ought to be hanged, and no mawkish cntiuient prevents a verdict accordingly. Oonnellsville Cour ier. The I-Mison Vitsscopo Company give one of the finest entertainments ever en joyed by a Somerset audience at the Opera House last uight. The Vitaseope is one of the inos wonderful inventions of modern times and must be tteen to be appreciated. No one should miss an op portunity to see this marvelous discov ery of the Wiward Kdison. The Concert Company, in cnuiiection with the Vita scope, gave a highly satisfactory perftrm ance. Rev. Stevens, pastor of the Bedford M. K.

The application of this gear to the bicycle, fr instance, will enable tho rider to use but fine-half the usual exer tion in proitelling the wheel through mud and up a steep grade, Mr. Ilolsop ple has applied for a patent. While hunting in Centre county a few days ago Dr. B. II. Warren, State Eiw nomic Zoologist, met with an accident through which he uarrowly escaped the loss of his eyes. The dogs had located a pheasant, aud the instant the bird pop ped up from the underbrush Ir. Warren's companion nred. 1 he charge struck a tree only a few feet from the spot where the doctor stood, and several grains glanced off and struck him in tho eyes. The victim dropped to the ground, he having been somewhat alarmed, and tho blood tlowed quite freely from the wound. He, however, sulweqnently dressed the laceration, and has since suf fered but little from his experience. Readers of this paper will recall an item published several months ago refer ring to tho condition of Clarance Staub, an unfortunate lad at the County Homn who had been deprived of both his faet by a railroad accident, and calling upon the Poor Directors to aid him in securing artificial lim'is. Young Staub is ambi tious to earn a livelihood and through his own tflVrts earned a small amount of money which he proudly exhibited to tho I i Cttrs telling lliem that he "would help to buy his own feeL" The Directors were pleased with the lny's engeruess to support himself and a few w.vk ago or dered a pair of feet for him. Tue artifi cial limits arrived at the Home last Thursday, and Monday morning Clarence w as walking about on them, apparently prouder than the proverbial "lmy w ith a new top." Clarence expects t-i leave the Home in a few days when he will strive to earn a living. People mining from Moyersdalo all trll the same tale in regard to the darkness that prevails in tlint enterprising village after six o'clock iu thoevening. Meyers dale was the lirst town in the county to adopt electric lights and during the tlve or six years the plant at tuat place has been in operation the street lights wera furnished at an extremely low rate, in ftict the charge per light was the lowest we know of anywhere. When the five years' contract for street light expired the owners of the electric light plant increas ed the charges about NO per cent, and when town council protested, the lights were turned off pending the signing of a new contract. Meanwhile the streets have leen without light except such as is furni.shed by oil lamps placed at irregu lar intervals. The prospects of council and the electric light people getting together are not encouraging, and the people are said to be tired playing 'Moses." One of the pleasant features of New Years' Day in Somerset for a number of years past has lx-en the annual banquet given under the auspicies of R. P. Cum mins Post, G. A. R. Old soldiers from all sections of the county look forward to these annual reunions with increased in terest each year, since in the natural course of events they can not le held many more years. The attendance last Friday was the largest since tho custom of meeting on the first day of the year was instituted, about eighty-five mem liers of the Post being present. In addi tion to the old soldiers, a large number of soldiers' wives, widows, sons and daughters, and a few specially invited guests met with them. A meeting of the Post was held in the Post room during the morning, and at 12 o'clock the comrades fell in line and marched to the Opera House, where the ladies had a steaming hot dinner prepared for them. The cus tomary speeches wero dispensed with and all present devoted themselves to en joying the edibles. Somerset girls are too coy to give a party for their gentleman friends during leap year, and too foud of dancing to let an opportuni'y go unimproved. Hence it was that they issued invitations to a leap year party" on the last day of VM, to be given at the Somerset House, on Monday evening. We !ctray no confi dence when we say that only two young men received more than one invitation, and one of the two was in an alarming mental condition liefore he made up his mind which girl should a-t as his escort, aud not arriving at a conclusion until be had had his hair clipped close enough to defy the cleverness of sixteen fingers and four thiimlM. The parlor and dinitig room of the Somerset House were tastily decorated w ith trailing pine and hot" house flowers at eight o'clock when tho g;:ests began to arrive. An hour later thirty-five couples were present when dancing began in the dining room, and euchre pl-iyiug in the parlor. Refresh merits were served nl midnight. The party broke up at 3 a. m. The young gentlemen say it was the ". wellest party" ever givcu in town. Several months ago Sheriff Hartzell and Mr. John K. White, or Hyndman, had occasion to visit the Woslinghouso Ele-tric Works, in ' Pittsburg. While passing through one of the buildings the farmer's attention was attracted towards a gentleman, who appeared to be suffer ing great physical sgony. Mr. Hartzell inquired w hat was the matter and with the knowledge that comes from long ex-periam-e with the "vai ions ills mankind is heir to," prepared a mixture for the sufferer that gave instantaneous relief. The new made friend was generous in his praise of Mr. II rtr. ill's attention to a strangeratid insist? 1 up m him and Mr. White Iteiug his guests at dinner that evening at the Hotel Duqueuse.. Next morning Mr. Hartzell returned ' home and never agaiu thought of the incident related above until a few days before Christmas when be received a letter from Mr. Odell for that was the stranger's name asking him to send a man to Jamestown, N. Y., for a horse he wished to give hiiu for a Christmas piesent. The bursa arrived in due time and with him came a letter from Mr. Odell giving the animal's brecdiug. His sire and dam are both recorded in the American Trot ting Register and he is a perfect beauty. Jamestown i;t the home of the American trotting horse and Mr. Odell is said to have a "string" of fifty or sixty racers. Tia Eaw County OlTcUls. There wero Isisy times in and alo-it the Court House during the latter part ot last week and on Monday and Tuesday. The old county officials, whose ter.-.is ex pired at midnight Sunday, "worked like tx-avers" to close up their records, a id their successors called around to ie "sworn in," and ineidontaliy to take a look at the furniture snd Kher surround ings. Treasurer Pugh and the Couuty Commissioner did not shut up shop un til a few minutes lctoro 12 o'clock Satur day night, and even thou the latter had not passed upon a number of bills that had been presented for payment and the former was deprived of the usual com mission ; but even if the orders bad lieen issued the Treasurer could not have cashed them.siiu-o he hid less than (loOon hand to turnover to his successor W. W. Winters ou Monday morning. There have been some pretty heavy drains up on the county's exchequer during the past few years, but the indebtedness of the county, we are glad to say, is quite small. If in fact there is any deficit when all accounts have been settled. Tbo Commissioners' office was crowd ed Friday and Saturday by persons who had unfinished business to settle up with the county and wore auxious to have it attended to before Messrs. Sholier, Bar nett aud Hay retired to private lifo. Monday morning Messrs. Kimmel, Good and Kretchman took charge of the Commissioners' office aud were kept busy uiost of the day shaking hands with their numerous friends, who called to extend congratulations. Clerks Kmert and Werner were actively at work pre paring to submit the accounts of that of fice to the scrutiny of the Auditors aud were apparently unmindful of the ani mated scenes about them. Over in the Prothonotary's office Mr, H. F. Barron entered upon his three years' term with the ease of a professional He is perfectly familiar with the rocords that otlieo and thoroughly adapted by education and training to discharge tho duties of his important trust. He was kept busy most of the day receiving his friends aud introducing his clerk Mr. B. K. Pullin, of Confluence. Mr. Pullin will bring his family to the couu ty seat as soon as he can secure a house. Register and Recorder Miller and his clerks, were doubtless at church on Sun day, but an astonishing large arnount of work was spread upon toe records of that office betweeu Friday night and Mon day morning. The new Register ami Recorder Mr. James M. Cover did not reach Somersot until uoon Monday, aud did not take official possession of the office until about 1 o'clock. Mr. Frank Miller, who has been the obliging clerk iu that office for the past three years, will continue temporarily in the same capac ity. William Winter relieved Treasurer Pugh bright and early Monday morning and together they passed th day watch ing the large saf. in the Treasurer's of fice, and in footing up the current ex penses of the county for the past year. Up-siitirs in tho court room Associate Judge HoriitT was se-ated in the Presi dent Judge's chair, and Associate Juu Black occupied a seat to his right. V number oft no memors of tho bar wero present ami congratulated Judge Black on ins accession to tue bench. Alter a li'.tle routine business was disposed of Court adjourned to meet agaiu to-day. Sheriff Hartzell was looking as pleasant as a man can who is engaged iu erecting stove pipes and securing order out of sev eral car loads of furniture promiscuously dumped into his residence. Sheriff Hartzell isonoof tho..e sweet tempered mon who can lay aside a joint of stove pipe, ( limb down from tho top round of a I idder, and conduct a party of visitors through the jail with tho ur'anity of a newly established minister of the gospel. (Questions in regard to the unfortunate Roddy boys, who have been found guilty of murder in the first degree, and others relating to the pedigree of his handsome new borso are turned off by Sheriff Hartzell with a smile that would do credit to a solicitor for a mint. Ieputy Sheriff George M. Baker was hard at work on tho new records that are opened with the advent of every new Sheriff. John R. Scott, Esq., one of the leading memliers of the Somerset county bar, will look after ths new Sheriffs legal business. Mr. Hartznll's family will lie established in their new home, which by tho way hxs leen fitted up with electric light, in the course of a few days. Sheriff Hoover had taken the precau tion to have nearly all of his household furniture removed to his private residence several days in advance and he devoted the last hours of his administration to fixing up a few matters of minor impor tance. Mr. Hoover returns to private life with the proud satisfaction of having dis charged the duties of his important trust iu a manner that won for him the com mendation of all the citizens of the county. The Cou nty Auditors organized Mon day by electing Silas Lichty president of the lioard. Mr. Lichty is the only Dem ocratic member of the board and all wuo have the pleasure of his acquaintance can rest assured that he will hold down his end, even though he has to contend against two such stalwart Republicans as Jeremiah Rboads and Benjamin J. Bowman. The board of Auditors are actually the most important of all our eounty officers. They must scrutinize all of the county's bills and see thtt wise economy has been pursued in all of the county offices. Their duties are lalwr ious and their compensation is insignifi cant when the character of the work de volving upon the:n is taken into consid eration. A. J. Hilcman has been elected clerk and Frorl. W. Biescrker, attorney, to the board of auditors. Out at th County Home the Poor Di rectors met ou Monday and effected an organization by electing William Dull, President, L. C. Co! bum, Esq., ws elected attorney aud clork to the Board, and all of the official at tho Home were re-elected. The new member of the Board Jacob Peck was warmly wtl cmed by the senior members and was shown around tho "buildings and farm. Mr. Peck will make an able successor to Jacob McGregor, whose services to the county were duly recognized by his fel I w directors in a resolution thank ing hi in for his faithful aud con scientious attention to duty. Solid latti'.atioai. Bank failures are ofalmost daily occur rence in tho west and northwest, while Somerset batiks are on a firmer fooling than ever before, as is fully evidenced by the action of the directors of the First 'u(ici:al nd Scniert-et County National Banks at meetings held last week. Ths success of these two local institutions must be alike gratifying to the public and stock holders. At a meeting of tho directors of the First National B :ik, held io the direc tors room, on Saturday evening, the usual semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent, was declared upon the capital stock of that institution ; ?2,X) was added to the surplus; $3K was appropriated to re ducing the bank's U. S. bonds, and $1,-1X1 was carried over as undivided profits, all outof the earnings of the past six months. The surplus fund of the First National is now $Ji,(iO. The members of the lioard of directors all expressed their apprecia tion of the conduct of the affairs of the bank and at the gratifying increase of the volume of business done during the period mentioned. The directors of the Somerset County National Bank held a meeting at their banking bouse last Thursday morning, when the usual annual six per cent, dividend on the capital stock was declar ed and the sum of $t,0oj was added to the surplus fund of that institution. A vote of thanks was tendered the officers of the liank for their careful and prudent man agement, after which tho directors, offi cers and a few frit-lids enjoyed a special ly prepared dinner at the Souicrtet llouso.

Tho party sUsd before tho large triple window, ar.d over its lace draper lea was a curtaiu of fimilax studded with roses, with masses of palms at either side. 'As Mr. Haines pronouueed the words of the ceremony Miss Myrtle Hart played the intermezzo from "Cavaleria Rustiea na" on the harp. Tho brido wore a beau tiful gown of white silk crepo du cheue over white taffeta and trimmed with duchess lace. Her flowers were Bride roKes and her jewels a sunburst of pearls from the groom.

Miss Kathcrine wore blue silk aud Miss Cora Belle pink silk, draped with tinseled chiffon, aud held by satin ribisins. A feature .f the decorations was the mountain laurel aud trailing pine which were sent to tho brido from Feuu sylvauia.

It must lie very gratifying to the poli cy holders in this county to learn that tho i;.iiita!i!e Life Society of New York, has done such a very large business in Is!!. The PitNburg Agency closed the year with ?tf,3!S,il new business. Both manager E. A. Words ami M. L Fosdick, their traveling man, express pleasure at the amount of business writ ten in Somerset county, no f;ir iii excess of all other companies. Mr. Fosdick wrote letcen Bedford and Somerset counties neorly I'M new policies for half a million of insurance? iu the last six months alone. The Co.'s new cash g-ia'antee policy is the key to this increased btisim-ss, and their promptness in paying death claims and maturing policies. They are now the largest and strongest Insurance Company in the world. A Spendthrift Schema. Mr. Boat tier, of louisiaiia has intro duced a bill in Congress providing that the salary of tho Speaker of tho House of Representatives shall be increased to f 1(1,000 per annum, and that of the Sena tors and Representatives to fT.Vm. Mr. Boat tier has always been looked upon as a man of brains, but if ho is rcaily en titled to that distinction, his friends have right to demand his reason for such an outrageous proposition. Just at this particular time, when the country has hard'.v been declared con valescent from its serious attack of strin gency, when "Confidence," coy maiden that she is, seems disused to continue to play hide and seek around tho money centres of the country, ami "Prosperity," her twin sister, is dcteraiineei to elope with old "Hard Times," it si: rpas.se to understanding that a Southern Congress man should refer to or even mention such a piece of profligacy in seriousness. Were the "country rolling in wealth," were the tax-payers clamoring for per mission to contribute more largely to the public fund, there would even then be no manner of excuse for increasing tho sala ry of our Representatives. Five thou sand dollars per annum is a lilieral sala ry it is ten times more than many Con gressmen ever made in one year in their ives, and it is ten times more than the services of some of them arc worth. For the Grip. A few wee-ks ago this paprr published a remedy for tho grip which lias been ironounccd bifclliblo by one of tho most earned physicians in ;!c old world. A gentlemen of this city came to this oli'n o and gave his testim -ny. Ho stated that be was taken sick w ith the grip in a se vere form, and having cut out this reme dy from the World tried it. For a tiuio there was no apparent cl7e-t, but licfore went y-four hours h::d elapsed tho signs of the disease begun to give way, and a few hours later ho was cured. For the benefit of our readers wo repent tho di rtvtions. Take thirty grains, or say half a teaspoonful, of biearlonate of )otash, or pure liaking s.la, mix in a teacupful of sweet milk. This doo should I e re pented every two or three hours until re lief is secured, which will seldom require over twenty-four hours. The Titusville World.

The new Evangelical churches, at Hus band and Lichty's, were dedicated last Sabbath. All of the services were weir attended. Tbo members and people gen erally all contributed liberally, $l,.V0 STOUat Husband and ?K at Llchty's being raised during the day. This day of dedication will long lie re membered in the history of the United Evangelical church, as two dedications on the same circuit and on the same day have never been known to occur before. Many persons termed it "the twin ded ication." The pastor and members f the two churches wish to teuder their thanks to the sister denominations for the assist ance rendered in this good work. It Is true that a great misfortune has been visited upon us by reason of tho loss of our old church property anil many hearts have been made sad, but the true sym pathy of christian fellowship has been felt by our friends and the good old American spirit of the citizens of Somer county has said to us in word and act "Live." We have great reason to rejoice over this victory, not as b Misting in our strength, but iu the tiiver of every per fect gift. There will be services in the Emanuel church (Lichty's) next Sabbath morning at br.30, instead of tho Summit Brethren church. Services will also be held iu the Pleas ant Hill church, at 0 p. ui., and at Husband at :'Ji) p. in. A protracted service will be held in the Husband church beginning on Sabbath evening. D. Ii. Yodkk, Pastor. Protection for the Gace. The state board of game commissioners has prepared a series of amendments which they hope to have incorporated in to the game laws of the state. The changes proposed by these amendments are sweeping iu their nature and their (option by the legislature will effect a radical reform of tho abuses now preval ent. They prohibit the killing for sale of auy kind o' game iu Pennsylvania and the shipment of game outside the state. The amount of game that has been killed aud sent outsi de tho state is enormous. State Zoologist Warreu is receivixg num erous replies to the circulars recuutly s-jut out asking for statistics on this question. Ho is preparing a pamphlet for distribu tion among the sportsmen and memlx-rs of the leginlalure giving the results of hi investigations of the subject. The fig ure in this book ill open the people's eyes to the awful slaughter of game thct has been going ou iu this state f.r years. Another change proposed by the commis sion is the alteration in the time in which hunting may be allowed. It has been deemed advisable to make all the season come in and go out at the same time thus saving much compilation. The new law makes the seasons for all kinds of game coincident. Is ginning on Octoler lo and ending on Decomlier li Tho work of the commission will be re ported to the legislature as early as possi ble in tho session aud it will be urged to take immediate action.

Judgo Miller, during a recent trial st Beaver, in hi charge to tho jury referred to policemen and detectives as follows : It is not a disgrace to be an officer in :.iis country. Indeed, If it were not for policemen and detectives to huut op and ferret out crime the peaceful, law-abiding citizens of the country would be at a great disadvantage. If every man had to go armed to protect himself, rather than have officer of the law whose duty It ia to protect the persons and property of the people of the community if each Indi vidual had to give that protection to him- sen ana lamuy, we would be at a great disadvantage. So that the badge of policeman ordinarily is aud always should be a badge of honor, of peace, of law, and good order." Cleartd $32,003 ea $700. i ork.
