Women as Arbitrators.
A novel precedent in I'ennsylvaniu jur
isprudence and one that will doubtless
excite considerable discussion among
members of the legal fraternity is involv
ed in an elaborate opinion tiled on Mon
day by Judge Hundley of this city, in
which he maintains that women are eligi
ble to act as members of Boards of Arbi
trators. In a case arbitrated here a lew
months ago a lady was appointed a mem
ber of the Board and for this reason Mr.
Warren J. Woodward, counsel for the
party against whom the case was decided
took exception to the award on the
ground that under the law of 1830 women
could not act as arbitrators. The opin
ion of Judge Hundley meets this objec
tion by citing the act of William the Sec
ond of England from which the law of
183(5 is copied, aud under which women
were originally permitted to exercise the
ofllce. The statute is silent as to sex, its
precise language being "person or per
sons," which the Judge holds may mean
men or women. In support of the posi
tion which he has taken he goes into
English history at considerable length to
show that as far back as three centuries
ago women did not And it incompatible
with the delicacy of their sex to act as
Sheriff and that in one notable instance a
learned lady was "Chancellor." While
there would seem to be nothing so very
startli g in the fact that a lady acts upon
a Board of Arbitrators, when we find tin
fair sex practicing in the United States
Supreme Court, yet the innovation has in
it a certain element of novelty, which it
derives from the fact that this is the first
instance in which the question was ruis
ed in Pennsylvania, and possibly the first
time that a lady has acted in such capaci
ty in this State. There is no good rea
son why the right should be denied to
woman. She has distinguished herself
in medicine and in the school-room. Tin
ofiice of County Superintendent 01
Schools is not beyond her reach and the
time may come when she will reform the
jury-box. Whatever lay or legal cynics
may sly concerning the position taken
by Judge Hundley, it is certain that his
chivalrous opinion will win favor with
those of the fair sex who believe in en
larging their sphere of usefulness. With
women practicing as lawyers, doctors,
county superintendents and arbitrators,
it requires no very great stretch of the
imagination to locate a period in the fu
l ure when they shall preside in our Courts
aud sway the destinies of the jury-box.
Let "lovely woman" have a chance by all
means in the great battle of life, and
whenever she meets a husband whose
special talents fit him for such domestic
duties as dish-washing, let her be in a
position to assign liitn to his proper
sphere while she goes forth to win dis
tinction in the professions, and like Por
tia, astonish 4 Jie Courts with her elo
quence and wisdom.— Scranton licpubli

Leonard Aretino, an Italian of the 14th
century, predicted the end of the world
for the 15th of November, 1881. Behold
the exact programme of this catastrophe

month :
November I—The ocean will overflow
its shores.
Nov. 2 —The earth will IK- soaked with
water.
Nov. .">—The fish in the rivers will die.
Nov. 4—All the water fowl and fish will
die.
Nov. s—The birds in the air will die.
Nov. C—The houses will fall down.
Nov, 7—The rocks will fall down.
Nov. B—The earth will tremble.
Nov. J)—The mountains will fall down.
; Nov. 10—The men will become speech
i less.
Nov. 11—The tombs will open,
j Nov. 12—The stars will fall.
Nov. Id—All the men and all the wo
men will die.
, Nov. If—The heavens will disappear
: and the world will be no more.
Nov. 15—A general resurrection and
I the last judgment.
Soldiers Encampment.
At East Towanda, Tuesday, Wennesday and
Thursday, October Jl, 12 and 13, 1881.
[Circular.]
The time is drawing near for the annual
encampment of the Grand Army and the sol
diers and sailors of this and adjoining coun
ties, it beiug October 11th, 12lli and 13ih.
The commander wishes to inform the
comrades that every effort on his part, is be
ing put forth fo make il a success and he
wishes the co-operation of every soldier in
the county.
Unlocked for delays in making announce
ments have occurrcu arid could not lis avoi
ded. But at last we have almost completed
at rangenicut.s for one of t'oc best speakers in
the country, and many of the prominent gen
erals of the late war have been invited, and
it is believed from the favorable replies that
a large number of them wili he present.
Capt. Olmstead's Battery L., 7th division,
W G. of N. Y., of Bingliarnton, with tiflv
men two pieces and a band of music, are Ue
d-*ous of attending the encampment, and the
arrangements arc HO far advanced that there
is hardly a doubt that they will he fully com
pleted, and the battery joiu us during the en
campment.
The Owego Zouaves have been invited and
will no doubt be on hand.
The Franklin Guards, of Athens, arc also
expected to attend.
bach Post in the county is making stronS
efforts to turn out in large numbers and uu
der good discipline.
It is now believed that this encampment
will be the largest gathering of the kind eve
eld in Towanda.
Full announcements will he given next
week. Let everybody prepare for a good
time.
