TUE Supreme Court in a case taken
up from Chester county, has decided:
•'While a township is required to con
struct and maintain the public roads
in such a manner a3 to make them
safe for usual and ordinary travel, yet
the township is not chargeable with
damages resulting from extraordin
ary accidents which may happen on
them, and which reasonable skill and
care would only be requisite to guard
against."
THE bill before the Legislature for
the removal of the disability of Es
quire John Smith, of Cherry twp., to
testify or be a witness in any legal
proceeding, has passed in the House
and will no doubt become a law. By
this bill Mr. Smith Is simply restored
to his right to give evidence in any
case. The bill was favored by both
our members and warmly supported
by Mr. Hall of Mercer county and
passed by a vote of 115 for to only
16 against.
Making Congressional Districts.
Wc are aware that the making of
Congressional districts is a very dif
[- ficult task. The Legislature of this
State has wrestled with the subject
often lOfore, bat never seems to have
had the trouble it has now on hand.
The districting which is being done
now should have been done by the
last Legislature, and years before
this, but was prevented or defeated
by causes that need not now be re
called.
The bill recently passed by the
present House looked at least in rea
sonable shape as regards the western
districts of the State. But the one
reported in the Senate this week,and
which it is stated will be urged in
stead of the House bill, contains we
think fatal objections. In no less
than three districts of the Senate bill
there are four counties laying all in
a row or string and running almost
bait across the State in one direction
or another- In all of theße cases two
of these four counties, the ones at
each end, are not only very remote
from each other but are not connect
ed in any wise, The said districts
are therefore in conflict with the
Conßt ! 'ation which requires districts
to be composed of as compact and
contiguous territory as possible.
The districts referred to are the
24th, composed of Greene, Washing
ton, Beaver and Lawrence counties;
the 26tb, composed of Butler, Arm
strong,lndiana and Jefferson counties;
the 27tb, composed of Mercer, Ven
ango, Warren and McKean countfes.
A glance at the map will show how
and where these counties lie,and that
the end counties in some of them are
as distant aB a hundred miles or more
apart and the districts anything but
"compact and contiguous."
Could this not be remedied? Wo
venture to say it can, and improve
ments made as follows, and without
disturbing other districts, or making
unequal or doing any injustice in other
quarters.
fFor the 24th or Washington coun
ty district, where by the way the
trouble in districting always com
mences, suppose that part of Alle
gheny county laying along Washing
ton, but now put in the Fayette, or
25th district, be put in with Wash
ington and Greene counties. Tbat
would be a natural district and also
a reasonably certain Republican one.
For the 25th district, say Fayette,
Westmoreland and Indiana coun
ties.
For the 20th, Beaver, Lawrence,
Butler and Armstrong counties. Jef
ferson county to be added to the For
est, Elk and Clearfield district, where
it naturally belongs, and Clarion tak
en therefrom.
For the 21th district, Mercer, Ven
ango, Clarion and Warren coiaties,
This leaves but McKcan county, now in
the Mercer district, to be disposed of
in order to put in a reasonably shape
the above three districts, that look so
unshapely in the proposed Senate
bill. If McKean be added to the
Potter and Tioga district that dis
trict will be but little larger in pop
ulation than some of the oth ;rs here
in referred to. We do not presume
to thiuk that the above suggestions
are new, or have escaped the atten
tion of the Senate committee, but we
submit that they are worthy of con
sideration, inasmuch as the stringing
out of four counties iu a row will not
only make unnatural but unwieldy
districts, as well as being liable to
to Constitutional objection.

High License Bill.
What is termed the Brooks High
License bill is still receiving much at
tention in the Legislature, and it is
amusing to notice the conflicting
movements and opinions in regard to
it. The people generally seem to
take but little interest in it, as in any
shape license has become odious to
them. The general sentiment is that
it is but a compromise with evil at
best, and that it would be better to
let things remain as they are until
prohibition comes to be voted upon.
We have heretofore expressed cur
own opinion to this effect Still, it
may be that real and honest high li
cense might be some reform in the
meantime. While higher license
would give a monopoly in whiskey
| selling and have the effect of reducing
I the number of saloons, yet it is very
doubtful if that would make a reform.
| Some claim it would, others that it
! would not. Good temperance men
; and even Prohibitionists are divided
in opinion upon it, and, as we aav,
the general public look on with rather
indifference, as seeiQg no permanent
| relief, whether it is high or low
1 Icense. The bill has passed finally.
Republican State Convention
Chairman Cooper announces that
the Republican State Convention can
not be called, in the off years, before
the third Wednesday of August, and
it may be the State Committee will
agree to fix the time late in August
or early in September. Hereafter
there will be no Senatorial delegates,
these having been abolished by the
lest State Convention, which fixed
future representation in accord with
the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted :
"Resolved, That the office of Sena
torial delegate be and the same is
hereby abolished, and that hereafter
delegates to the Republicau State
Convention shall be elected by the
representative districts only, and that
the. Republican State Conventions
shall hereafter be composed of dele
gates from the various representative
districts on the basis of one delegate
for each member of the house of rep
resentatives to which such districts
are entitled "
The total number of delegates here
after will therefore be 201 instead of
251, equal to the number of represen
tatives to the Legislature, and each
district will govern its selection by
the number of representatives to
which it is entitled
Of State officers, only a Treasurer
and a Supreme Judge are to be elect
ed. The interest of the contest will
be confined mainly to county officers,
although the fact that it is but one
year to the quadrennial Presidential
conflict will arouse considerable pub
lic attention. The results will be
supposed to indicate in some degree
the turn that political affairs are like
ly to take next year.
The English Sparrow.
The forthcoming report of the de
partment of agriculture ou the Eng
lish sparrow will be a very interesting
document. It will contain about 400
printed page 3 in which will appear
the experiences of about 3200" people
with this destructive little rascal. It
is doubtful if there is another bird iu
the world so unanimously condemned
as a nuisance as this aiien. Dr Mer
rian, the ornithologist of the depart
i: ent, who has charge of the prepara
tion of the report, says that the in
dictment agaiust the sparrow is a ter
rible one. He has scarcely a friend
in tfce whole country. In California
he is hated as cordially as the Chi
nese; but while it is admitted tbat
the Mongolian may be made a useful
citizen, there is not even a monopolis
tic employer of coolie labor who can
see the slightest use in the sparrow.
He is accused of doing frightful dam
age to the vineyards of the Pacific
slope. He always setacts the most
lucious bunches of grapes, aud bo in
variably sticks his bill into the very
best berries on the bunch. Farmers
who devote their time to the cultiva
tion of grain, report tbat the sparrows,
wherever they are thick, do frightful
damage to cereals. Market gardeners
and the raisers of small fruits, in the
vicinity of cities, say that since the
sparrows began to multiply the profits
of market gardening have almost van
ished. The only known use for the
pest is as a substitute for reed birds.
One man in Albany, N. Y , reports
tbat he sells hundreds of dozens of
sparrows every month to the restaur
ants in tbat city where they are serv
ed up to the New York legislators as
the toothsome little thief of the south
western rice fields. Sparrows make
excellent table birds aud it is thought
tbat the only effectual method of cur
tailing their increase will be to induce
the boys to catch them for food pur
poses.
The Upheavals in Mexico.
EL PASO, Tex , May 10.—The de
tails of the awful result of the recent
earthquake in the Slate of Sonora
are coming in slowly. Lieut. Brit
tain Davis brings startling news of
the convulsion southwest of Carrol
ites. Tho mines are located 110
miles southwest of El Paso, but the
greatest destruction occurred 200
miles south west of here. Lieut. Brit
tain said:--
"AH far as I could lean, the entire
Carrolites district and the country for
200 miles southwest of it were in
constant convulsion for three days.
At the first shock myself and several
other Americans and Englishmen
sought places of safety on plateaus,
but the shocks were so rapid and
powerful that we expected every mo
ment to be killed. An active volcano
developed ten miles from us, and
when I left it was pouriug forth a
stream of hot water as thick as a
man's body. This column of water
was thrown thirty feet in the air and
is impregnated with sulphur and lava.
Stones os big as a man's head are
forced up with it. Smoke and fumes
of sulphur make it diilicult t>> breathe
in the vicinity. At Ojo Don Pedro,
a town iu the vicinity, twenty people
were killed and nearly every building
destroyed. At Owauda, south
east of there, forty families were de
stroyed. The Mexicans are panic
stricken and have given up all ordin
ary pursuits. There are a number of
out i.f-the-way mining towns in the
vicinity that I fear are totally de
stroyed. The Mexicans are making
no attempt to gather the details au<l
the American miners are the only
persons who are trying to get at the
facts. From reports coming in it ap
pears that the entire south western
part of Sonora baa been subjected to
the severest shocks. Geysers and vol
cenoß are reported in all parts of the
stricken territory."

A Professor Surprised.
For the CITIZEN :
Tuesday evening, May 3d. saw an
unusual excitement among the stud
ents and citizens of Prospect, tha oc
casion being t!.e celebration of the
Principal of the Normal Academy,
Prof F. W. Mngee's 30th birthday.
The Piofessor was enticed to the
Acudeuiy under the pretense of at
tending to some literary business.
Upon reaching the door he ush
ered to the rostrum, when Mr. G I
Wilson stepped forward and in behalf
of the students presented the Prof,
a student's chair anu a beautify - cen
ter stand, and turning to the audience,
is which the Prof's estimable wife
was seated, in a few well chosen re
marks in which be spoke feelingly of
the regard in which she it bald by
the students, presented her with a
magnificent hanging lamp. To which
presentations the Prof responded
verv feelingly if not in eloquent lan
' guaje, as he was very much over
come by his feelings.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in literary exercises interspers
ed with music by the Prospect Band,
led bv Prof. Edmundson, assisted by
Miss' Mary Martin, pianist; 3nd also
with remarks by Hon. J. M. Leigh
ner in behalf of the citizens, in which
he set forth the many fine gentleman
ly qualities and sterling worth of the
Professor. After which ail returned
to their homes well pleased witu the
evening's entertaiiuent and wishing
the Prof, and his wife many happy
returns of his birthday, ihe great
est querv to the Prof, now is how
such a grand entertainment and sur
prise could be carried without ex
: citing his suspicions.
EXCELSIOR.
Tbat Fishing Party.
FRANKLIN TWP , May 9, 1887.
" I promised to send you a report of
the party that had been making great
preparations, and anxiously waiting
j the dav set, to go on that Grand t isn
! ing Excursion to the beautiful valley
of the Muddycreek, so I will give
you a short sketch of the same :
I" On the morning of the 7th day of
I May—the time set for this grand
event we gathered our rods and
' tackles together and gave them a
; thorough examination before starting
1 The ladies busied themselves in pack
ing baskets with cakes, roasted
i chickens and many other articles suit
! able for the occasion. We were soon
i on tho road and by 10 o'clock we
were in sight of the fertile valley of
the Muddycreek, where we could
trace it for miles as it winds its course
west to the felippervrock. \\ e pitch
ed our camp handy to where the Red
Bank R R- Co , located their depot
on Robert Allen's farm, and after
some fixing of lines, were ready to
commence catching those cat
fish, suckers and sun-fish with which
this creek is said to abound. We
found the water rather too high, not
from the amount of Qsn in the stream
but on account of the heavy rains tuat
fell the night before. After dangling
our lines for a short time in the
muddv deep, Mollie English had the
satisfaction of landing the first fish, 1
think they called it a "chub." Your
correspondent caught the next one
and it did not measure more than 18
inches. Myrtle Wigle caught a large
gun-fish, something similar to a bass
but they don't grow so long and are
said to be as fine iu flavor as the baes.
Sadie English surprised us by haul
ing out one of those large cat-fish and
as it squirmed around it was too
funny to see them getting it ofJ the
hook, there being plenty of barbs on
it to jag ones hands. I wish you had
been along to have got some of the
fish and enjoyed the fun with us
Mattie English said the fish had some
spite at her for they did not bother
her hook Tizzie said if they were
good looking boys she would have
been more successful. We caught
some fine fish and had a jolly time
and concluded to go again when the
water would be lower. So 1 will
thank Mrs. Kale English for her
roasted chicken, the girls for their
company and eakes, tlie editors for
space iu the CITIZEN, aud wishing
you all success I will close.
G.S.
Birthday Reunion.
Ens. CITIZEN: With your permis
sion I desire to notice what to my
mind was a very interesting and
agreeable entertainment which occur
red at the bouse of Mrs. Elizabeth
McCandless of Adams twp., this
county, ou Monday, May '.lib, 1887.
It was what might be called a sur
prise party and was one of the most
enjoyable affairs of the kind which it
has ever been my good fortune to
witness. At or about the hour of 11
o'clock A.M., of said day a number of
the friends and relatives of the afore
said lady suddenly and unexpectedly
appeared on the premises with their
baskets filled with all the necessaries
to provide a magnificent dinner for
the entire party. There was also,
after the repast had been served, a
variety of presentations, among which
was a most beautiful crazy quilt of
all kinds of colors and textures of
cloth, aud a splendid rocking-eh.ir
presented by !):• Win. Irvine, brother
of the aforesaid lady. The presenta
tion speech was made by S 1' Irvine,
E>-q , another brother. And a very
interesting letter from Samuel
Krohen (an only son of Mrs. Mc-
Candless to a former husband) who
is now attending the Theological
Seminary at Xenia, Ohio, was read
by Dr. Joseph Irvine, and was very
highly appreciated by all the friends
present.
More than thirty persons were
present, nearly all relatives.
Yours. &c., ONE OF THEM.

Wonderful Surgery.
The success of a wonderful surgi
cal operation, performed in this city
nearly a year ag >, has just been
dertonstratf d. Seventeen years ago !
I Edward K Russell met with an acci-!
dent iu which the tendons in one of
his legs were severed, rendering the
, limb useless. The operation consist
: ed of the transferring of two tendons ;
from a dog, which hart been etherized
| for the purpose, to Russell's limb. !
; where they were united with the sev- j
| cred tendons iu that member.
For ten months after the operation
■ Russell was not allowed to use his
j leg, but within a few d.iys he has
j been permitted to exercise it. He
j has now resumed his work, and has '
, complete control of his limb, the oper
• atiou having proved to be au entire ;
success. This is the first time that 1
this operation has been performed in
this country, though it has been pre
viously attempted with only partial
success —New Bedford correspond
ence Cincinnati Enquirer.
—Two murders and a suicide, all
the direct eflect of intemperance is a
startling record for Saturday night
and Sunday in Allegheny county.
Fortunately the facts in one of these,
that of the blacksmith Oswald, of Ua
dercliff, who strangled his little
daughter and cut his own throat afte?
a two days's debauch, are easily as
certainable; but the other, that of the
young ironworker McClernon, found
on the sidewalk at Soho with his
skull crushed in, is likely to go into
the already too extendedjlist of unsolv
ed murder mysteries. It is reasona
bly certain that had there been no
violation of the law against selling
liquor ou Sunday, this last tragedy
would not have occurred; and the
man who sold the whisky must have
a solid conscience if he feels that he
is in no degree responsible as an ac
cessory to the murder. For the
credit of the city and county,as well as
for themselves.we hope the detectives
may sncceed iu uuraveling this last
murder and bring the man who com
mitted it to trial.—Pittsburg Chran

BRH KER— At his home in Winfield twp.,
this county, May, S, 1887, John P. Brieker,
Ekj , aged about Co years.
REED—In this place, Sunday morning,
May 8, 1887, Mr-i. Mary Ann Reed, wife of
Maj. George W. Iteed, aged 7">.ycars.
The funeral services of Mrs. Reed were
held in this place ou Tuesday last at 11 :.'io
o'clock, after which her remains were taken
to and interred in the Allegheny Cemetery at
4:45 P. it. ot sarm day. Mrs. lteed was a
woman highly respected in this community,
where she had lived a long and useful life.
Her aged husband aad her children have the
sincere sympathy of all our people in their
great loss. In place of any further remarks
of our own we substitute the following just
tribute to her memory from the Pittsburg
Commercial Gazelle of Monday last, edited by
her three surviving sons:
IN MEM 081 AM.
Our mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Potts Reed,
wife of Maj. George W. lteed, of Butler, Pa.,
died yesterday morning, at the family resi
dence, at lo:30 o'clock, alter «jtiire a long ill
ness aged 7."< years. The deceased had been
married for lifty-six years and all this time
lived in Butler." Her husband, aged S4 years,
survives her, as do also five daughters aud
three sous, Nelson P.. George W. and Joseph
P. Reed, of the COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.
Kirs I*-' d was uot only a devoted wife and
mother, but iu all the relations of life she
exemplified the highest traits of womanly
character. For fifty-eight years she had
been an active and consistent member of the
United Presbyterian Church at Butler, aud
it was her greatest pleasure as well as her
constant airu to fulfil all the duties and dis
charge all the obligations which go to round
out the true Christian life. It was in the
church and iu the home that she found her
life-work, and no Christian wife and mother
worked more incessantly or more earnestly
and conscientiously to make her influence
felt in these spheres ol activity. To those
who knew her most intimately did her
graces and virtues shine moat brightly, and
her memory will ever remain with her chil
dren as a precious legacy. Her solicitude
for their spiritual aud temporal welnre was
unbounded, aud she was t> them an exem
plar a.id pattern of correct living and Chris
tian fidelity. She bore her personal suffer
ings and bereavements with that patience
and resignation which are the fiuits ol au
abiding faith in the precious promises of the
Gospel of Chiist, and when the end came
she was ready for the summons, having
trustfully and ho|.efulJy awaited her ap
pointed tiriM. While she remained, her
pre>euce, her counsel and her example were
a constant benedict ion, and now, that she
has gone to her reward, the reeollections ol
her kindly acts, her wifely aud motherly de
votion and her precious love will linger to
cheer husband and children and Irieuds, and
beckou them one and all t» the better lai d.
