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

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.

\ Day in June.
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune.
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look or whether we listen.
We hear life murmur or see it glisten; j
Every clod feels a stir of might
An instinct within it that reaches and |
towers.
And groping blindly above it for light, j
Climb* to a soul in glass and flowers; i
The llnsh of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys; j
The cowslip startles in meadows green, j
The buttercup catches the suu in its j
chalice.
And there's never a leaf nor a blade
too mean.
To be some happy creature's palace:
The little bird sits at his door in the
sun.
Atilt like n blossom among the leaves, |
And lets his illumined being o'erruu j
With the deluge of summer it receives; j
His mate feels the egirs beneath her .
wings.
And the heart in her dumb breast flut- .
ters and sings;
He sings to the wide world, and she 1
to her nest —
In the nice ear of nature which song is j
the best?
