The will of Barbara Shull. dee d, of Summit twp. has been probated, Mary Shull executor. In the Juniata county court last week, a case of the owner of a farm ag»inst her tenant was on trial The prosecutionjdepended altogether on the written lease, signed by the tenant to prove her case. The point was raised by the defendant's attorney that the lease not being stamped according to the act of congress, it was not a legal lease and therefore should not be in evidence. The court sustained the ob jection and the prosecutrix lost her case. The Pittsburg Leader says that "the Allegheny County Bar association is now trying a case "that is of considerable interest to the public in general and the members of the bar in particular. It is an aftermath of the notorious Brann di vorce case that was tried in the Butler county courts about a year ago, and which furnished such rich morsels of gossip for scandal mongers. The defendant in the case before tho liar association is Attorney H. L Christy, of this city, who was Mrs. Braun's counsel, and secured her the di vorce in the trial alluded to. The charge on which he is being tried is that he attempted to "set up" witnesses by trying to induce them to give testi money adverse to Mr. Braun's side of the case. It is understood that Christy's disbarment from practice in the courts here has been asked for. but owing to the fact that the Bar association always keeps its proceedings from the public ear until they are concluded, nothing on this point was obtainable. Attorney John Marron is conducting the inquiry, a record of which will probably be ready for the public by Wednesday or Thurs day next. Charles C. Dickey, the well known attorney, vice president of the Bar association, and chairman of the committee, having the investigation in charge, would say absolutely nothing for publication. He said it was not the custom of the officials or members of the association to talk about such pro ceedings until something definite was decided upon PROPEKTY TRANSFERS. Margaret Snyder to Leon B.

JOHN ROBINSON'S GREAT WORLD'S EXPOSITION. "The Hall' Has not Been Told Me." THE memorial expression of the Queen of Sheba on viewing the pomp and glories of King Solomon's court, can with varity be used in sjieaking of the transcendent splendors of the gorgeous biblical spectacle, Solomon, his Temple, ami the Queen of Sheba, which the management of the Robinson show produce this year on a scale of un exampled magnitude and splendor. No spectacle ever presented to the public can vie with it in rich sceneo graphic effect; in faithful and charac teristic portraitures of the people, man ners and customs during the reign of Isreal's wisest king, in pomp, in pag eantry and in parade: in sacred sacri fical offerings; in lovely women; in en chanting ballets; in fiercely contested and exciting chariot races: and in the luxurious opulence of its customing and appointments. Taken from the grandest scenes of the patriarchal era it cannot only interest the biblical scholar, but the moral, the cultured and the refined, seeking after intelec tual and mind improving entertain ment. will find in this an exhibition well worthy their attention. Let it Vie understood however, that this desirable augmentation is but one of the multi tude of attractions to which the Robin son show invites the patronage of the public. Their circus has long been characterized as the most inviting in its unexceptionable features and in the general excellence and proficiency of its ring performances of any traveling, while their menagerie is large and com prehensive. and includes living speci ments of the rarest beasts, birds, rep tiles and amphibia. Their colossal Roman hippodrome is in itself a feature i that has no duplication, and carries the spectator back to imperial Cesar's days. The show will exhibit at Butler on Saturday, June Hi.
