The case of HUNT VS. the Borough of Mon
roeton, tried before Judge MORROW this
week, was on action brought to recover dam
ages on account of an injury sustained by the
plaintiff. He alleged that while walking on
the side walk in Monroeton one nigh last fall,
he stepped into a hole, fell and broke his leg.
The defense set up was that HUNT was intox
icated and stepped or fell oft the walk, causing
the accident. Arbitrators awarded $750
damages to HUNT, but the jury found no
cause of action.
Can any of our young readers answer this:
What is that which has three feet, but no legs,
is all body, but no limbs, has no toes on its
feet, no head, moves a great deal and never
uses its feet for that purpose, has one foot at
each end and the other in the centre of its
body? This is a queer creature in some re
spects, and is very popular among the ladies,
and some men. It never walks out, but goes
with one foot where its head might be, drag
ging the other foot behind. These feet have
nails, but no toes, no heels and no bones in
the foot.
The Courier , published at Bath, N. Y.,
prints the following obituary of the late Mrs.
BAKER:
Mrs. Baker was the daughter of Hon. Jos.
C. Powell, of Towanda, Pa., in whose family
she was tenderly reared until her marriage to
Mr. Baker twenty-four years ago. Since that
time ber residence has been in this county,
and nearly all of this period she has been a
resident of Bath. She united with the Pres
byterian Church liere in 1860, under the min
istry of Rev. W. E. Jones, and her character
has been such as to commend the faith that
she then professed. To her natural energy
and enterprise aud persistency she added
many of the fruits of tiie spirit, and in her
home-life her Christian love and zeal and
trust were continually manifest. Her hus
band and two sons have lost from their pres
ence one whose quiet and unceasing power
for good was to them a force of which they
were always conscious, but which had in it
uothing repulsive. The light which rays out
from such a life reaches farther to convey
more of its genial warmth to other lives than
we arc apt to be aware of. We would love
to see such a spirit as that which she possess
ed becoming more generally diffused, for
nothing but good would come of it. During
her last illness, which kept her confined to
her room for three months, she was a con
stant sufferer, but was constantly staying her
self on Him whom she had trusted hitherto,
and was often heard calling upon Him as one
with whom she was in the habit of holding
the most intimate fellowship. And now that
she has fought the good fight and has finished
her course, having kept the faith, let us re
joice that for her there is a crown of right
eousness and of glory which fadeth not away.

proved specimens all round and let us have a
look at them through the REVIEW, and say a
