Commissioner Powell sprung a new law point lately which will be of interest to the tax collectors, landlords and tenant of this county. It is the law in regard to holding a tenant for the taxes against the property occupied by him. Heretofore it nas been the custom if tax collectors in 8.-e the landlord failed to pay hia takes to hold the tenant for them, irrespective f tto time the tenant occupied the prnp rtp, but there v, t» a proviso made in the aw m Javor of the tenant which wa= nev-r construed rightly To hold a tenant for taxes he must be in possession of the property Ri.on the assessment was made, otherwise he is not liable. A few tai col lector- are iu .re of this law but it is not generally knon among them. Tne com mic-loners will notify all tax collectors of this fact and instruct them to observe it.

An Interesting Romance. Twenty-five years ago John Hayiuan then a young man w'th a little cash and an ambition anrl an abundance of deter mination, left Butler county and went West. After drifting a few years lie settled in lowa. For a few years he prospered and after baying a farm niar ri..! a pretty girl in neighborhood, With two mouths to feed he redoubled hi', ef forts and his young bride proved a faith ful helpmet. In due course of time a little boy come to brighten an already hap py ho:i In a few ytars another was added to the family. Then crops were poor and John was compelled to go into debt. Kastern money shaiks got a mortgage on his farm. The balance of the story is soon told. More babies until there were six, poor crops, big doctor's bills and in tercLs ate up all his earthly possessions, and last fall he loaded his family and the few things he managed to save into a "prairie schooner'' and with two blind horses as the motive power, a start was made for his old home in Butler county, where he expected to meet his only brother and begin life anew on the old farm which he left a quarter of a century ago. After suffering untold privations, being assisted by numerous kind hearted people along the way and snowed up for several weeks at a stretch, he reached Sunbury a few weeks ago. The "schoon er" attracted considerable curiosity and the man's story was listened to with a great deal of interest. When he told that he was going to the home of his brother Henry a few miles out in the country a bystander remarked: *'Hen Hay man has been dead several years; come with me and I will show you his grave." With a heavy heart Hay man accom panied him to the cemetery where he read on a small tombstone this inscrip tion: "Henry llayman, born December 6, 1840, died May n, 1890" "The name and date of birth is right," said Mr. Hayman, "and I guess poor Hen's gone to his long home," and with tear bedimed eyes he left the cemetery and v. a . soon on his way to the old farm- About a mile out of town he meet a man driving leisurely and inquired the way to the farm where Hen. Hayman,s widow lived. "Hen. Hayman has no widow yet?' remarked the stranger, "because Hen. is too alive." The two compared noses for a few minutes when the stranger announced that he was Henry llayman and that the marble cutter had made a mistake in let tering the tombstone in the cemetery. The grave was that ol his child. The two brothers after their long separation will live 011 adjoining farms.— Ex. Ivow Kates to Washington, D. C.

What promises to be one of the biggest sensations known in Allegheny Co., in connection with the illegal sale oi oleomar garine and the prosecution ot the dealer?, is a proposed action of County Controller Grier to compel the dealers prosecuted to pay oyer about $35,000 t'» the county. Tcis represents one-half the tine in 653 cases on the issue docket in the prothouo tary's office. It is regarded as an action ia lino with iir. Grier's duty. Numerous attorneys are charged with blackmailing dealers and allowing cases to remain on the issue docket, instead of placing thtm on tee trial list, and representing to these dealers, scattered in every part of the county, that their cases were sa'.tiel for a small aoine of money.
