Gorton vs. Joseph Humtnelsbangh. Action in ejectment for a tract of land in Black Log Val ley. The plaintiff showed a contin uous chain of title for the land in dispute from the original patentees away back in lit) 4, down to himself, while no evidence was produced on behalf of the defendant, who it ap peared nad voluntarily surrendered occupation and "vamosed the ranche" long ago, and whose whereabouts were now unknown. As a conse quence, without leaving the box, the jury returned a verdict for plaintiff. Doty and Parker for plaintiff ; Alex ander for defendant Louise Trassoni vs. Samuel S. Wil son and G. W. McElwee. Trespass. In 1873 Peter Trassoni owned and lived on a farm in Monroe township. McElwee recovered a jucbnnent against him before a Justice, but be fore an execution was issued Peter deeded the farm to his sister, resid ing in Philadelphia, stored his farm ing implements at a neighbor s and slopea " for Philadelphia, carrying off the horses and wagon. The goods stored were levied on and sold as his property. His sister, in the suit, claimed the personal property as hers, but the jury " couldn't see it" in that light, and so found a verdict for the defendants. Atkinson for plaintiff; Lyons and Allison for de fendants. Jacob Pile vs. Christian Imschafif stalL There were two cases on the list between these same parties, one verra poaseasfoo for 21 yean. Tbe only two points in tbe ease then were, whether tbe Jacobs or Patterson south Irae fa tbe correct one, and was tbe statate satisfied by Dillen'i possession 1 If tbe Patterson line was tbe eorreet one, then tbe plaintiff eonld recover in neither suit, while, if tbe Jacobs line was eorreet, the adverse title of Dillen bad to be got over before be could re cover in both. By means of a black board Judge Junktn nude very ptaiu to the jury what were tbe points in the ease, be bating drawn a eorreet map of tbe different surreys made, with tbeir conflicting lines. After a very full and impartial ebarge by the Court, the jury rendered a verdict for Dtllen in the Brat suit, and $25 siugle damages in favor of Gorton on the second suit. Defendants applied for a new trial. Paiker and Doty for Gorton ; Atkinson and Alexander for defendant in both suits. . A. Jlargrili vs. George F. Me FarlanJ. There were three different suits on the trial list between these same parties. Tbe plaintiff's claims footed np in the aggrevate to some $5,000 or $6,000. None of them, however, came to trial, the parties and tbeir attorneys baring carefully inves tigated tbe affair and bottled all three of these cases out of eourt, for which they deserve tbe thanks of the commu nity, as they would have consumed at least two days of the time of the Court. In t'je first case judgment was entered by consent of plaintiff for $1500, in the second for $403, and on the third for $596, with stay of execution for one year. J'oty for plaintiff; Lyons for defendant. j John L. Dears Si Son vs. Abraham Williams. Assumpsit.

After hearing the testimony of Creigb I'atterson, of Tyrone town ship, and V. (1.

He acknowledged bis guilt before the Commissioner - Perry County Advocate. aim 1ft tbe early part of February last, one William Maguire, a spectacle ped dler, whose borne is said to be in Al too ns. Pa., came to Ibe house of John Park, in Dimock township, Suoqueban ns county, "on a visit," Mrs. Park be ing bis cousin, though Mr. Park bad never seen bim before. For the next few weeks he was at Mr. Park's bouse a good deal of the time, and it seems that an improper intimacy was estab lished between Maguiie and Mrs. Park, who was tbe mother of seven children. Finally Maguire went awsy, and after be bad been gone about a week, on the 24th of March, Mrs. Park took her twins, a boy and a girl, nine years old, and her infant, ten months old, saying she was going to visit a neighbor ; but instead of doing so she went on tbe railroad to Tunkhannock, to which place her oldest son, Francis, in bis eigh teenth year, bad secretly proceeded her with her clothing, and there Maguire bought tickets for tbe whole party for Cinsinnati, Ohio, and tbey started off west, since which Mr. Park has heard nothing from them. Maguire is a wid ower, forty-one years of age. Mr. Park did not suspect anything wrong until tbe elopement had taken place, though some of the neighbors bad had tbeir suspicions exeited by remarks of Maguire.

In 1874 defendants imported a car load of horses from the West. Tbey sold a maie to Cbarles Lintburst, who was then a minor, for $135. His father was dissatisfied with the pur I cbase, and ordered tbe boy to return tbe mare. He offered to do no two or three times to each of the defendants, but neither would receive ber and re turn tbe money, sending tbe boy and mare to the other defendant, and vice versa. Ibe plaintiff proved minority of Charles and demand made, and re covered a verdict for $133. Doty for plaintiff ; Atkinson for defendant George W. Gorton vs. John Dillen. Action in ejectment George W. Gorton vs. Joslina Beale and Joshua Ueale and John Wallace, hi ecu tors of Hugh Hart, deceased. Action in trespass, Ac. These two eases were tried together, and by tbe same jury, and occupied tbe attention of the Court from Wed nesday afternoon nntil midnight on Fri day. In 1794 one John McCalla, pur suant to a warrant issued from (he Com monwealth, located, surveyed and bad returned into tbe Land Office a tract nf about 400 acres of land in Black Log, It was one of quite a number of other warrants located at tbe same time in Black Log by Deputy Surveyor Haines, who ran the outaide lines. In re-sur veying the outside lines of tbe tract; however, Haines found it conflicted with an older survey made in the name of Carson, and located in 1787. He therefore bad to adapt tbe Mot'alla to the Careon survey, when he made tbe draft In 1794 it seems that one James Mackey also obtained a warrant for land, and in 1821 located it on top of tbe McCalla tract Tbe chain of title through McCalla passed down from 1794 till it vested in Gorton, that of Mackey till it vested in Hugh Hart Under Hart, Dillen located on some ten acres, part of which Gorton alleged was on the McCalla tract Hart, in bis lifetime, and bis Executors, since bis death, claimed and cut timber within the Mackey lines, which Gorton alleged waa on tbe MoCalla tract, and violative of bis rights. Hence these suits. Gorton made out bis title, be yond peradventure of donbt, to all laod lying within the McCalla lines, and tbe most important question first presented was to determine these lines. All were admitted but tbe south and east lines. For Gorton, G. W. Jacobs and J. P. Wharton made one location of them, bringing the greater portion of Dillen's lot therein. For defendants Capt J. J. Patterson, Maj. Houpt and J. . West made another location, which left the Dillen lot a greater part of the Mackey survey outside of tbe McCalla tract la addition to his claim of title under Mackey. Dillen also alleged ad- him by the defendant, after having promised bim to wait on tbe same for some few days thereafter. A few days after this defendant waa in Port Royal, where lieid lives, and called upon him, and during the interview caught him by tbe beard and slapped bim several times on tbe side of the head. Tbe prosecutor testified that tbe assault and battery was most aggravated, while tbe defendant held that it was not, but merely the result of a momentary im pulse of passion. The jury, under in struction of tbe Court, found tbe de fendant guilty on tbe first connt and not guilty on the second. Sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and costs. Patter son, Parker and Atkinson for Com. ; Lyons fur deft. Com. vs. Jacob Will. Indictment, fahe pretense. Trne bill. Some time in October, 1875, defendant purchased a hog from Tilgbman Mussel man for $11.00, and gave him a check for that amount on Jnmata Valley Bank. On presentation of the check, on same day, at Bank it waa dishonored, defendant having no funds there. Mosclman brought suit on the check and collected the money long sen, but still was not satisfied, and bence brought this crimt nal prosecution. Tbe price of the bog was only $10 20, while the check was drawn for $11.00, seventy-four cents more than the value of the bop. Mus selican admitted that he told defendant that if he paid a note of $50 00 due bim by A. II. Will, he would drop this prosecution. Defendant proved that be had made a mistake in dating the check on the 11th; that be metnt to have made it on tbe 12th, the next day, when be had made arrrngements to pay it, and bad told the boy whom he sent for the bng to Musseln.au to tell bim not to call for money at bank till next day ; that Musselman hurcicd to town tbe same day, and after banking hours, and not finding tbe money there, bad the heck protested, sued on it immediate ly, and all through manifested greater desire to make himself whole on tbe $50 00 note than to vindicate tbe nia jesty of the violated law. After a full and impartial expo.siou of the nature of tbe offense charged and what was ne eesnary to substantiate tbe charge, by II i? Honor Judge Junkin, the jury rendered a verdict ol not Entity, but directed the defendant to pay costs of prosecution. Com. vs. Joseph L. Dearing. In dictment, false pretense.

Tbe farmer bad a particularly fine colt wbich ba offered for sale to a couple of sharpers, who at onee noting tbe inno cence of the seller, conspired to fuddle him with liquor. Tbeir man was not a drinking man, but he was over-persuaded into many "drinks," which resulted in loss of sense. Seeing tbeir victim ready for tbeir wiles, oue mounted the horse to try his qualities, and tbe other remained with tbe owner, ostensibly to pay out tbe money. After counting out tbe sum and ordering up another dose of " benzine," the second cbap pocketed the cash and bolted. Tbey have not been seen or beard of since. LemstouM Sentinel. The Franklin tttfmiiarm, pahliabed at Chambersbaig, published the fol lowing last week of tbe implement that Lad been provided for the rascals Rolland and Johnson, who were eon fined in prison fur tbe attempted rob bery of the Chanibersburg bank. Tbe burglars were expected to work theii way out by tbe aid of the implement furnished to tbtM : From some suapiuivus devtlopeinents the Sheriff had cause to ftar that a plan of escape had been arranged, and con eluded to make a thorough investiga tion to satisfy himself. On Thursday last be examined carefully the persons of Rolland ai-d Johnson, but did not, however, find anything coucealed about tbe former. On Jobn.-on his fear were realised, Coding nicely concealed in bis cravat a i-tnall saw, and fastened to bis I shirt a pair of nippers. In his cell, over the wiudow was also found a jim my about Iwo feet long and a compass saw. Continuing hia search through out tbe jail be found iu the main room occupied by the other prisoners, a ham mer, gimlet, nippers, ic, sewed up in the bed tick. It was no donbt tbe in teution of Johnson, with possibly the assistance of some Inendly prisoner to liberate himself aud comrade and any others who might wish to regain their liberty.
