For this reason Mcpherson sues the county to revver for the work. Iu Judge Criswtll's opinion he states that as the county pays tho asssors for all other work thej are liable for this also. This decision will le hailed w ilh delight by all of the assessors, as they have attend ed to it without compensation so far and now tbey w ill be sure of getting their pay. Wesley W. Davis Stricken.

It Is 11.1t generally known, says the Ntw York Tribune, that when Senator (nay started in life bo set out to be a lawyer. But be did, and was only twenty-one when admitted to (he lar. Here is the story of Mr.'J'iny'n first and last law case, vmiched for by a personal friend of the Senator. The young lawyer was trying his msiden case, ami, natur ally bashful, be dreaded above all things to speak in public When be arose to ad dress lhe jury be became extremely nervous ami mnld scarcely press: rd with bis speech. While be was struggling to overcome his excessive diffidence be chanced to glance around and saw some or the other attorneys in the courtroom laughing. Believing to a certainly that they were laughing at his forensic efforts. he at once sat down and refused to proceed further with his remarks From that day Matthew Stanley Quay gave up the prac tice of law, refused all cases that were of fered to him, and entered into local poli ties with that earnestness; which has made him one of the most successful pol iticians of the present day. Mr. Quay began at the foot of the ladder, first hold ing ft minor local office, and gradually reaching higher and higher until bo at tained his presont National prominence and power. Senator Quay is sixty-foor,but he has never been entirely free from the diffidence that marked his early life. He seldom speaks in the Senate, beyond voting or briefly introducing a bill, and fter he has introduced a bill be sits down with the air of ft man who is glad it is over with. In conversation with friends however, where tho atmosphere is one of thorough acquaintance, the senior Senator from Pennsylvania is an easy and interesting talker. Unlike many of l he statesmen around him, Mr. Quay is not given to much newspaper reading in the Senate. When be is rest less he leaves his seat, puts his hands in his pockets and, with noiseless, cat-liko steps, walks about, with his head low, as if iu deep meditation. Mileage for Constables. Judge Scott, of Northampton cour.ty, Monday banded down an important opinion in the case of P. S. Hulsizer vs the county of Northampton, for pay in mak ing returns lo the court, with mileage, aud for attending the polling place 011 election day to preserve the peace. This test case was to decide whetijer constables throughout tho country are le gally entitled to receive pay for making their regular return to tho court of quar ter sessions and for attending the polls on election, the cjunty commissioner having refused to pay for such services. and that the mileage for making returns to the court is provided for iu the act of lssrt, under the item for traveling ex- iiensos. Iu all other cases, each mil t u ! cents There is a Class of People who are injured by the use of coffee Re cently there has been placed in all the gro-ery stores a new preparation called GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the plai-e of colfee, Tbe most deli cate stomach receives it without distress, and but few cm tell it from coffee. It does not cost over 1 as iimclu Children may drink it with great toiicliL 15 cts and 2o cts per package. Try it. Ask for GRAIN-O. Should Hot be Tolerated. Tho average Somerseter is prone to be lieve that there is less poverty here than iu any town of similar size in the coun try, but an observing stranger says that he was never in a town where he was importuned so frequently and persist ently for the loan of a dime as be has been in Somerset, He declares that it is imiMissible for a gentleman to walk a square in Somerset without toing solic ited by a respertably dressed man for the loan of enough money to buy a drink of whisky or lieer. "And tbe worst of il is" he says, "that tho beggar always adds that he wants it for liquor. There are a half-dozen men in Somerset who eeem to live by ibis means, and who would not be tolerated elsewhere." It w ill not cure everything. It is not claimed that it will cure but one com plaint, that it will cure evf ry case of dys pepsia, but it will cure ft large majority of them. Such cases as are adapted to its use will derive immediate benefit. One small bottle will be sufficient to test it.

A Painful Sore. Cyrus M.

He carefully removel, as he thought, all of the splinters and contin ued with his work for ft day or two after wards when the injured hand began to swell and fester. Dr. II. S.

A writer in tho Greeusburg Tribune, speaking of an article by "Plunger" con cerning the noted "Bill" Pritts that is now going the rounds of the press, says: It is plainly evident that he knows noth ing whatever of the noted and much abused Bill Prills, who, he says to this day has had his meals brought to him in mountain caves and dark retreats How thrilling and novel like. If the "a lun ger" or any othor person will only go to Indian Head in Fayette county aud go np the mountain road about three miles he will come to the home of Bill Pritts anil should he hitppcn to strike there about meal time he will bo convinced that Bill does not take his meals iu lonely caves, etc, but will seo a tall, kindly-faced old man eating bis meal from a table, which the good God has seen fit to bountifully supply, like the restof irsciviliziMl beings And ho will also find that 110 honest and worthy man ever leaves the house or this same Bill Pritts without toing generously fed and kindly entertained. If tbo "Plun ger" has any desire to make the ac quaintance of Mr. Pritts, he has only to act as an honorable man should, and knock at his door, there ho will find William Pritts and not in caves, dark retreat, etc, as he would have you be lieve. But Mr. "Plunger," If you wish to make a favorable impression 011 Mr. Pritts do not follow in the footste of tho crafty (?) delectivo who hid tohind trees, etc., with a six-hhoo'.cr in bis band wait ing to make bis acquaintance or you will get tho same dose as did this brave (?) lay low 1. e., Uriveu out of the mountiin by the old in-11, w ho was armed to the teeth, with a hickory stick. I do not wish to deny th at Prilti killed Ilostetler, but it was a j lain case of kill or to killed. (There are not livo men in all th it moun tain to-day who will tell you otherwise). I acknow ledge that therq are illicit stills in the mountain, which a-cnrding to tho law, is wrong, but why don t soma of our boasted fly cops find and destroy them? He speaks of ihurchns and schools being greatly in tbe minority. This is also wrong, as both are found from one eud of the mountain district to the other, and both are well attended.
