to meet the claim, his farm was sold at Sheriff 's
sals, the only return he received being a mort
gage on the church and graveyard, property of
the congregation, which was closed out some

gate and buried the body. Bliss then brought
suit, aod Judge Knox decided that graveyards

ble upon conviction by fine or imprisonment
or both. Some evenings since one of our prom
inent citizens called upon Mrs. Tom Moser,
who lives in the north-eastern part of the town (
for the purpose of—well its nobody's business
what he went there for, and just before enter
ing the house he noticed that Sam Truial was
backed up under one of the windows, listening,
eavesdropping, as he supposed. Some words
passed between the P. C. and Sam, and the P.
C. went into the house and told the women
about it, who went out and drove Sam away.
That is all there was of it, and that would have
been the end of it, had not Sara called on the
P. C. next day and offered to say nothing about
it if he would give him five dollars. This the
P. C. wouldn't do, and Mrs. Moser saw fit soon
after to made information against Sam for
eavesdropping. Sam had a hearing before
'Squire Irvin last Friday evening and was held
for Court on S2OO.
—The cases of John Peter Johns in and
Henry Johnson for use of R. C. McAboy,
yersns the county, which were heard before
Esq. Walker last Monday morning, are of gen
eral interest on account of the principles in
volved. The two Johnsons were subjKtaed as
witnesses against their fellow countrymen J.
W. JohnSon in the case of the Commonwealth
vs. him for the murder of Mr. Fleming.
Henry failed to appear at the December term
when his name was called, and was arrested
and committed to the Sheriff's charge by the
Court to be held as a witness. John Peter got
sick last August and was arrested at the depot
here just as he was about to depart for James
town, N. Y., where he has or had relations,
who he claimed would care for him while
sick. He was cared for here while sick and
the bills for same—about SIOO for nursing and
over SCO for medical attendence paid by the
county. Both men now claim a dollar a day
each, for each day they were detained here.
Henry's bill is $99.00 and John Peter's $150,00.
These claims were purchased by McAboy ; the
County Commissioners refused to pay them and
hence the suit which the Esq. has heard but
has not yet decided.
—The death of Peter Cooper, which occurred
on the 4th inst., deserves particular mention.
Mr. Cooper was not only a very notable mem
ber of the community in which he lived, he not
only filled an important place in the life of his
own city, but he made himself by his peculiar
characteristics a conspicuous figure of hiscoun.
try and time. Hardly any man could be
named who bad been at once so successful in
the accumulation of wealth and so truly benev
olent in its distribution. The man of tender
heart is seldom vastly rich. Yet Mr. Cooper
was both. By very remarkable capacities of
mechanical invention and business manage
ment, by a combination of the faculties that
serve best in the gathering of wealth, his for
tune had reached large proportions long before
the years of his advanced age; yet his liberali
ty and philanthropy found congenial company
with the accumulative genius that made hitn
rich. His kindness of heart was known to
thousands, and his death has brought out an
abundance of cordial testimony to his continual
good works. The conventional expressions of
ponl-mortem ptaise have not been employed in
speaking of his departure, and the heartiness
and sincerity o! what has been said in reference
to him proved encouragingly that after all a
good man will not lack just recognition.
Another Gusher at Bald Ridge.
The Philips Bros', well on the Wallace farm

Taxes on Coal Land.
In response to the request of the
commissioners of Mercer county their
counsel, S. R. Mason, Esq , has given
his opinion on the subject of taxing
coal lands. Mr. Mason considers the
subject UDder two heads, first: Wheth
er the owner of the land ind the owner
of the coal underlying the same, de
veloped, are each taxable according to
I their respective interests; and second,
I whether an ownership of the coal held
in fee or by leasehold and undeveloped
is the subject of taxation to the lessee.
The first of these propositions has
been authoritatively settled, Mr. Mason
says, in the case of Logan vs. Wash
ington county, in which the Supreme
Court held that "where the owner of
coal land has sold the right to take all
the coal that is in his land, but has re
tained the land itself, the owner of this
land and the owner of the coal are each
taxable according to their several in
terests. But this principle does not
justify a higher valuation on the two
interests taken separately, than there
wonld have been ifboth had continued
in the same person."
Of the second proposition, Mr. Ma
son holds that the lessee of undevelop
ed coal property should not be taxed
for it, becaused he derives no income
or benefit from it, but that the owner of
the land should, because of the increas
ed value of the property bv reason of
the coal underlying it. The owner
not only receives a certain sum each
year from the lessee, in the nature of
advanced payments or a forfeiture, but
the value ol the land is enhanced, not
withstanding the encumbrance of the
lease. He therefore concludes that the
several assessors of the county, where
they find coal mines opened and in
operation, should apportion the valua
tion between the owner of the land
and the owner of the coal, according to
their several interests; so apportioned,
however, that the aggregate valuation
of interests would not be greater than
if all had remained in the same person
—and all other lands in proportion to
their values, whether those values are
made up from improvement to the sur
face or undeveloped resources in the'
land not, however, fixing any specula
tive values. The assessors' oath of
office points out his duty in this re
spect.
The President's Movements.
A dispatch from Kissimmee, Florida,
says: President Arthur and party
went yesterday to Fort Gardiner, on
the Kissimmee river, forty miles south
of Kissimmee City, and there met Tom
Tigertail, a sub chief of the Seminoles,
who bad come from Lake Rosalee, six
miles distant, to meet the great father.
The President fhook hands with the
Indian, and gave a papoose a quarter.
Secretary Chandler gave Tom Tiger
tail his pocket knife. The Secretary
Chandler remarked to the President
that Tigertail strongly resembled Alex
ander It. Sheppard. The President
handed Tigertail a cigar, which was
seized with avidity, and he immediate
ly reached for the President's cigar and
obtained a light and returned it. The
President has caught many fish, and
Secretary Chandler to-day killed an
alligator.
The party returned to Kissimmee
City about npoq to,-day. They have
goue ftn a special visit six miles up the
shore of the lake, but have ordered a
team for the purpose of leaving for San
ford at 6:20 this afternoon. They
change their plans frequently. Secre
tary Chandler wanted to uo through
Okeechobee lake, and down the Caloo
sahatchie to Punta Rossa, and there
telegraph for the steamer Tallapoosa,
hut the President would not consent.
Hebrew Indifference.
There is talk now of the return of
the Jews to Palestine. In our opin
ion the matter will end in discussion,
at least for the present Of course
some time >□ thp dim and misty future
we will expect them to go back. But
oil must be struck in the Holy Land
first and the business interests of the
country enlivened considerably. For
a good many years the Israelite bus
been accustomed to keep his eye on
the main chance. The day of miracleg
has gone by. It has been well aaid
thsvt tho neighborhood of Jerusalem is
rich in hallowed associations but that
is about all it is rich in. To expect
the Hebrew therefore lo suddenly

"Putting on the livery of heaven to ,
serve the devil in" has long been a
figure of speech expressing honest
men's utter contempt for the hypocrites
who would avail themselves of the in
fluence of a good cause to accomplish
some evil end which could not bear
the light of houest franknesw. It was
never more applicable than it is to the 1
