A case of interest to partias main taining public watering troughs wns tried in the Blair county court re cently. The plaintiff was Wm. Weyant, tbe Supervisor of Blair township, nnd the Defendant was Thomas Patterson, a taxpayer in the name township. The suit was brought to recover two year's back road taxis amounting to $lO. The defense was that Mr. Patterson had creeled and maintained in good re |»ait a public watering trough along the township rood, having pure clear water running into the same, and was easy of access, suitable for watering horses and cattle. The Defendant claimed that, under the provisions of the Act of April 28, 187G, he was entitled to the annual compensation of $5. for theuseofthe trough and the failure of the town ship to pay the sum for two years squared the claim for taxes. Super visor Weyant insisted that the trough had been maintained without his sanction and authority, and the law made the matter wholly dis cretionary with the Supervisors. Judge Bell also took this view of the ease and directed a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff. This is the first reported case under the water ing trough law and should serve for future cases of this kind. IN ANYBODY MISSING? "11. Jl." Kciidn » Note I>OWII tbe Kiver in a Whiskey Mottle. There is either a suicide or a joker some place up the river. There is always deep interest and much mystery in a bottle found with a note in it, and if there is anybody missing let the river be dredged. The other day Edward Arboyast of Georgetown was rowing in the river at that place, when he discovered a tightly corked flask floating down the stream. With the idea it might contain a message from some de parted spirits, he heaved to and landed the bottle in his boat. It was a whiskey bottle and the spirits had departed, but it contained a note written in pencil on a piece of pulp paper a little lighter in weight than a defunct wild cat life insurance blotter. The paper was written on both sides and the words are very distinct. It was torn in twain, was dirty and looked as if it had been iu water. On the upper left hand corner are two hieroglyphics that look like figures. Following are the words: "This the last words I have to Say If some Fried will got.> Muney and and tell L W. Watts that he has killed me with his Licer to berry me. he will know me. 11. M." Mr. Arbogast is of the opinion the note may be onnected in some way with the mysterious death of Issacher Houseknecht, whose body was recently found in the river near Watsontown. It will be remember ed Houseknecht. disappeared from his home near Muney during the winter and his body was discoveted by some hoys about four months later. The supposition was that Houseknecht had been foully deat with. The Lycomir.g county au thorities thoroughly investigated the case and came to the conclu sion that lie was drunk and fell pi the river. Here is a chance for the shrewd detective to work up a sensa tion and turn a few honest pennies by throwing suspicion on somebody that is probably guilty of nothing.— Sun bury American. 1IAI» ACCIDENT TUESDAY MORNING. W. Kirk BetU Has Him Fool Taken Oil'by n Train. W. Kirk Rett?, son of Cashier N. N. Belts of the First National Bank, met with a terrible accident at the Washington street depot Tuesday morning, which resulted in the loss of his right foot.

Jennings the people's candidate for Member will leave the county some time in the future just ns other lumbermen have done. This is a poor argument to place IK fore the voters. The Jennings Bros, arc not near so likely to leave the county as Mr. Streby is. They own one of the largest saw mills in the county. They have recently purchased a large tract of land in the vicinity of Lopez involving many thousands of dollars. They have erected brick dweelings. They pay over six hun died dollars tax. Every move of the Jennings Bros, point to a long and a continual stay in Sullivan county. In this respect they differ materially from those of Sullivan county lumbermen who have left the county. Mr. Streby can't fool the people with this statement and he ought to know it. Senator Hill is frank enough to admit that the legislation of the present Congress is of a kind that will preveut the election of any more Democratic Presidents.
