Gout. Last Friday morning, Sheriff Reed
started with Charley Pierce and Bill Smith,
the horse thieves, for Allegheny City, to lodge
them In the Penitentiary, where they are to
take up their boarding for three years. It was
feared that an attempt would be made to res
cue them on the way, and the Sheriff went
prepared accordingly. He, however, reached
the place ot destination without being molested.
A Fiek almost. Last Thursday the roof
on the kitchen of a house, occupied by Mr.
Jacob Sbunkwiler, on Cherry street, was dis
covered to be on fire, which was fortunately
extinguished beforo any serious damage was
done a portion only of the roof having been
destroyed. The fire originated from a flue
built with the brick edged up. Flues built in
this way are insecure, and ought to be prohib
ited by ordinance.
Mat Paktt. Wo are requested to state that

Firi. On last Monday, the 25th, the house
of Mr. John Owens, of Lawrence township,
about 3 miles from this borough, with all the
contents, was destroyed by fire. It is said
that a sum of money, belonging to his sons,
was also consumed, but what amount we have
not learned. Tie fire is supposed to have o
rlzinated from the stove-pipe. The loss of Mr
Owtns Is nut 1' than $1,500.
Anotuer Fine. We havo understood that
in the latter part of the past week, a house and
barn, belonging to a Mr. Snyder, in Karthatig
township, about two miles from Rider's, were
destroyed by tire. It is supposed that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. If so, we'
trust efforts will be made to briDg the scoun
drel to justice.

IiiroaTAST Decision. Wo last week made
brief mention of a decision of the U. S. Cir
cuit Court in an action brought by Zebnlon
Parker against Wm. Biglcr, Win. Fowcll and
John F. Weaver, of Clearfield, to recover dam
ages for the infringement of a patent granted
to Parker in 1829, for an improvement on hy
draulic power, called a Percussion and Reac
tion Water Wheel. This case, which was tried
on the 12th and 13th of May inst., was regard
ed with some interest, says the Pittsburgh
Commercial Journal, as being the first trial of
a suit in this Court for the infringement of this
patent. There are many other similar cases
pending, and it was supposed that the result of
one would lead to the abandonment or settle
ment of the remainder. The plaintiff proved
his title by his patent and various nssignments.
In connection with this part of the case, it was
held by Judge Grier, upon authority and for
the purpose of "securing uniformity of prac
tice n the second Circuit, that a certified copy
from the Patent Office, of an assignment re
corded therein, would be received as prima
facie evidence of the genuineness of the origi
nal assignment, and thai tho production of
audi original might be dispensed with. Mod
els of the defendant's wheels were produced,
and upon examination were pronounced by ex
perts to be within the principle of the patented
invention of the plaintiff. Proof of tho time
during which the wheels were used was also
given, and after an able charge from his Hon
or, Judge Grivr, upon the question of dama-
ges, the jury found in favor of the plaintiff,
assessing his damage at $201 and costs.
It is proper to add thnt it was remarked by
one of the plaintiff's attorneys, in the course
of the trial, that the great mistake of infrin
ges which had led to so much litigation, was
the snpposition that Parker invented a partic
ular form of wheel. This-was not the case.
Parker's invention consisted in Lis peculiar
method of applying the water on any reaction
wheel.

T7The Clarion Democrat says: "Some

taken his paper, his "conscience" would have
induced him to retain the money and cheat the
State out of it!

remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
tho recipe of a regular physician, who during a

alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simplo in their character and usod
by every educated physician. "It is easily taken,

GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments bare of
pened Ihcir Custom 'Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this
medicino is the best remedy ever known for per
sons f delicate health, or where the system hat
been impaired, as iu invigorating properties -ue vet
fail to afford relief.
