The regular session of criminal court
convened at ').. o'clock Monday morn
ing. It." F. Snyder, of Upper Turkey foot
township, w as appointed foreman of tho
grand jury.
The grand jury was slow in niak ing re
turns and it was towards evening when
a true bill was found ugaiust Paul lirove,
charged with selling liquor to minors and
without license. The cuso was at onco
callenl r..r trial. The Commonwealth
showed that the defendant had made a
regular business of dispensing intoxicat
ing liquors to the bibulously iucliued
denizens of Shade township, indiscrimi
nately, without regard to race, age, color,
or previous condition. While engaged
in this unlawful enterprise, Mr. Grove
also occupied a public position as dis
tributor of mails at Daley post office.
Under instruction of the Court the Jury
without retiring from the lsx, returned
a verdict of "guilty in manner and form
as the defendant stands indicted." The
Court at once ordered the post master to
stand up for sentence. For selling with
out license, fine, pay the costs of
prosecution and undergo imprisonment
in the county jail for a periisd ot niuety
days, was tho penalty imposed ; for sell
ing to minors f 10 fine and ten days in the
county jail, around ono hundred days
that the patrons of the Daley post oflico
will lie forced b receive their mail from
another than the duly appoiuted post
master. The first case called for trial Tuesday
morning was that of the Commonwealth
vs. Charles Foust, charged wiht malicious
mischief, oil infort:nlioii of Isaiah IIol
aopple, of Paint township. The prosecu
tor was called to tho stand and testified
that on a ren-ut Sunday evening the de
f. ndant cama ti his house drunk while
he and his family were at supper, nnd
aftf r bell .wing around for some time
shied a stone through the dining room
window.
The defendant acknowledged the trulh
falnes of the prosecutor's story and eu
t red a plea of guilty, w hereuism the
Court sentenced him t pay a iii:j of $.",
the t- sts of prosecution and undergo im
prisonment in the county jail for a period
of sixty days.
The next case taken up came from the
famous "moonshine district," and many
of the witnesses who figured in the' fa
tiioiiK "Youy" Iloohstettler murder case
were present as w itnesses or interested
listeners. Henry Neiderheiser was the
defendant and W. fi. Ibs-hstettler, a son
of the deceased "Yony" the prosecutor.
The charge was assault and battery. The
testimony disc!i!Std that on an occasion
of a party at "Cali'y" J .hn Miller's, the
prosecutor with several friend showtd
u;witha jug of "moonshine" in their
bagy, an 1 innumerable drams of the
same firry beverage under their belts.
During the evening's festivities, when
the fun had "waxed fust and furious,"
the prosecutor and defendant liecame
embroiled in an altercation, the cause of
w hich w as net dh-closed, but which re
sulted in the defendant giving the prose
cutor a "bitr on the head, w hich the
prosecutor averred knocked him at least
ten feet and cut nn ugly g:ish on his
cninium. This case is still on trial,
having is iisumed an entire day, as w e go
to press.
Just before court adjourned last even
ing the grand J iry returned a true bill in
the cs-T-c agaisst L'r. W. F. Mitchell, in
dieted for pei fi rming u criminal opera
tion upon Na.'ie E. Beal.

Since tbeu we have liccome acquainted
with quitea numlKjr of them, preachers
us well as laymen ; ami have formed a
very go-id opinion of tiiem, b ith as citi
zens and Christians.
How ever, w hile they are very strenu
ous on the literal fubilliiieut of some
parts of holy scripture, wealways thought
and even insisted that they w ere all too
negligent of some other parts, such as I.
Cor. IX : C-U, I. Timothy, V: IS, Ac,
where we read of not muzzling tho ox
that treadeth out the corn, the laborer le
ing worthy of his hire and he that p reach
el n the gospel ought to live of the gospel,
and so on. But we were much delighted
this morning to learn that they :;re also
beginning to apply these passages literal
ly. Yesterday Brother Stall drove by
our place and, w e thought, he looked un
usually happy, w Idle even the old white
horse lifted his head a little higher and
seemed to smile as he prauced along.
Being ever on the alert for the secret of
happiness to ls.th ma:i and beast, we in
quired into the cause of these things this
morning, and to our great delight learn
ed that about twenty of the go.I people
of Brother Stall's church on Saturday
prepared a veritable valentine aud
brought it to their pastor in the shape of
feed for the horse, provisions for the fam
ily and a well filled purse for the parson
himself. That's the secret of the happy
lookon parson aud horse. That is a step
jn the right direction, brethren. That is
Christianity applied. Keep on in that
direction, and yon w ill get into that se
cret of happiness which only the liberal
heart can know, which is divine.

Constables' Fay Cnt.
A great deal of 'jau ing' was indulged in
by the Constables from the forty odd dis
tricts in the county, who cHiue to town
Monday morning for the purpose of mak
ing their quarterly return to the Court of
f iarter Sessions, when they fi!eJ dow n
to the Commissioners oiiico and present
ed their bills for sen ii-es to find that the
Commissioners, by direction or their
counsel, A. L. . Hay, deduited ?l.0
from each bill presented for payment, f 1
for attending the February election and
for making return to court.
The Commissioners hat previously
served notie upon the Constables that
they would not be allowed a per diein
for attending the election or for making
their quarterly return, although mileage
was allowed all of them for making their
returns.
Some fe.v ef the constables were highly
wrought up over this innovation, or re
form in Somerset county, and the atmos
phere in and about the Commissioners'
ofii.! was rendered sulphurous with the
anathemas they hurled at the head or the
attorney w ho had caused the order to bo
issuod, w hich will result in a net saving
to the county of alsut $ 1,0ml per year.
The same at of assembly has been
similarly construed in other counties of
the Commonwealth for several years past
and has invariably been sustained by
the Couru.
It appears from what Mr, Hay says
that the law requiring Constables to lie
In attendance at election houses on gen
eral election J::y and the law requiring
them to make quarterly returns to the
Court of (l jarter Sessions, are of the same
character as the act of assembly w hich
require Coustables to make quarterly
visits to licensed hotels. No officer ever
presented a bill for services in the last
mentioned case.
The probabilities are that the Con
stables will take an appeal from the
Commissioners' decision, wheu the mat
ter w ill le brought before Judge Long
en eckcr. it appears that there is noth
ing in the statute books authorizing Con
stables to make personal returns to the
(joarter Sessions Court, but the practice
ha been banded down from Colonial
tiui and the Constables have always
regarded it as one of their most import
ant duties.
At Monday's session of court only one
Constable had a violation of the law to
report in bis bailiwick. Keyser Kim,me(
was returned for violating the liquor law
and fur keeping a gambling home at
tiarrett. Summit township.

Towoihi? High :boit.
Prof. John Hamilton, Deputy Kecio-t-iry
of Agriculture aud director of farm
ers' institutes, recently read a paper at
tho annual meeting of tho State Board of
A griculture on the su bject of "Tho Tow u
f hip High School." a subject that has ex
cited great discussion at the farmers' In
stitutes all over the Suite. In this paper
Prof. Hamilton calls attrition to the fact
that the country boys are Mocking to the
city because they do not hae at home
the odiicatioiial adiaiitag.-s that by light
belong to them. "To-day," says Prof.
Hamilton, "in Pennsylvania out of tho
j one mil 1 u pupil receiving instruction
. at public expense, over six hundred
thousand are being taught in the country
schools, and the majority of this great
multitude are compelled to leave home
and all of its beneficent influence in or
der to gain that training which the State
ought to furnish at their doors. Twenty
five or thirty years ago in almost every
county of the Commonwealth, one or two
or more preparatory schools were found,
snd many children could get their train
ing near their own homes; but the old
academy is gone, and no institution is
here to take its place. As a consequence,
emigration to the cities from the country
has greatly increased in tho last decade,
and unless arrested will doubtless end in
this country, as it has In every other of
w hich history tells, in the decline of agri
culture and the consequent destruction of
the Stale."
"What is the remedy for this radical
defect in the system of public instruction
as organized and administered in Penn
sylvania to-day?" asks Prof. Hamilton.
"The answer is not far to seek. Organize
a graded school in every township, to
which all graduates from the.ordiiiary
district school ran go. Call it the tow n
ship high school, and open its doors to
every U.y and girl within the township
limits, and give opportunity to every stu
dent lo get such an education a wiil fit
him fir tho right performance of his dut
ies cs a citizen to the State and for tho re
quirements of any business that ho may
fee! called upon to select as a lifo pur
suit," After presenting figures and fact to
prove tho necessity for the township high
school, the great good it w ill do and the
small cist at w hich it can lo maintained.
Prof. Hamilton concludes aa follows:
"Public sentiment is aroused, and rural
poople are anxiously rwaiiing the time
w hen some safe and practicable plan that
will thoroughly educate country children
at their Iiouicm, will be proposed and car
ried into operation by the State. Some
legislation in this direction has already
been effected aud another bill is now pre
pired. It remains for the Legislature of
this State to still further exercise its wis
dom and its power, and pass suchlegi-I i
tioii as will give c!rect to what has been
done, aud make such additional provi
sion for the work and its ontinnaiiceaiid
support, as will meet the need of tho
great multitude of country people whose
w elfare if not existence, is at stake. Such
a system t f public education as has been
outlined, properly established and sus
tained, would constitute the foundation
for a more complete and enduring civili
sation and national development than
has heretofore existed, and would protect
the future State against political mid so
cial disturliance that ignorance and su
perstition are always ready to promote."
Ana There'll ta a Storm.
A. J. DeVoe, tho meteorologist, has
w ritten the New York World a follows:
"Four years ago I wrote to the World
stating that those who intend to go to
Washington to witness the inauguration
of President Cleveland on March -Lli
should tukc their heavy ulsters and rub
ier boots, as a blizzard was due on that
day. That was published intheWoild
two weeks in advance.
"Ou March 2d the chief of the Weather
Bureau stated In Ids dispatch to tho pub
lic press that there was no storm in sight
and that the indh-aiions were favorable
for fine Cleveland vvatlier on March lib.
You rememtcr that a snow storm pre
vailed, and the World gave me credit for
b.iating the Weather Bureau.
"Now, as we are approaching another
inauguration, and just a many people
are interested in the weather for the com
ing March dth as there were four years
ag , I desire to say that the weather will
w ill not be any improvement over that of
fo ir years ago. It will probably be even
colder than it was then, for winter weath
er will extend a long way into spring
mouths. March will enter extremity
oold, ith a great storm over the South
Atlantic. States. A blizzard is dileove
the M id. He Atlantic on the 1, and heavy
snows w ill fall all over the country. It
maybe clear by the dUh, -but those who
expect to go to Washington on the -Kb
should be prepared to w ade through si.o
drifts and very oold weather.
"The coming March w ill lie an unusu
ally cold, stormy month. The second
heavy snowstorm is due on the 17th.
Street Cleaning Commissioner Waring
will have t Task for an extra appropria
tion to clear up the snow."

was let the only witiui-s
who is alleged to have sworn falsely.
James Marshall, time keeper for tho
locomotive department of the Cambria
Iron Co., teiified that William Cooper, a
conductor w ho on the trial of the case at
December term of Court, testified that
Jim Roddy bad visited his house on the
night preceding tho Berkey robbery and
again on the follow ing morning, when he
aooinpanied biui to the Cambria Iron
Company's mill for the purpose of secur
ing work was on night turn during the
first week in June last. Mr. Marshall's
testimony was corroliorated by two other
witnesses. The testimony of these wit
nesses lends not only to shatter the evi
dence given by Cooper, but the evidence
given by Cooper's wife and daughter as
well, who said that James Ibsl ly bad
called at their home in Morrellville on
the night of June I'd, aud again on the
morning of Juno 3.1.
Thomas Reynolds, or L. M. Wolfs
store, testified that Mr. Wolf had never
issued any Imitation of Confederate mon
ey as advertisciiienl-s. It will bo remem
bered that James Roddy testified that the
alleged Confederate note w hich ho had
destroyed at the home of tho .'angles in
Morrellville, on tho morning following
tha robbery, was an advertisement of
Wolf's.
l-'red Naagle testified that in May last
ho was iuv ited by tho R .d.ly b-.y.s and

some time after the Berkey robliery,
Minnie Roddy, a sister of thedi fendants,
told her in tho prescins? of Mattio Nau
glo, that she knew her brothers would be
found guilty for they wero out all nii.t
of June '1 1, and that th'-y went to In-.! at
an early hour on tho morning f illowing.
Her story was corre.l -orated by Mat

Chfirlcs II. Ila.'m produced a ticket
showing that the senaid unuual piciic
of the Stewart Cad.-t, of Morrellville,
was held on June -J I. This evidence
was otfered for the purpose of contradict

w ho testified at December term of t-mrt
tiiat he worked with John Roddy i.i
