The money was sent back in two

Hev. Eugene A lleini, for the
past three years rector of St. John's
Episcopal Church at this place, de
parted from his many warm Laporte
and Eagles Mere friends last week
to assume a charge iu Baltimore,
Md. The genial Hector, during his
service at this place materially in
creased the membership of his church
and united them with the spirit of
right living and righteous conduct,
lie leaves the community much
better for hi- having labored therein,
and also leaves a In,st of friends who
wish him ee I .i suevc-s in his new
field of labor.
A man in Syracuse tlie other day

| er's time, it was decided at the
i trial that that the man was as guilty
!of loafing behind his employer's
' back, drawing pay, as if he had tak
| en money out of the money drawer.
That is certainly a correct principle,
i but many people fall to think of it
J iu that light.
The hunting season closed Thurs
j day ami sportsmen are not the least
I sorry. They say it has been the
! wor-t in years, not because there is
no game, but because the weather
ha- been too dry. Others, however,
believe that it is a good thing, and
will aid materially in developing a
plentiful >upply of rabbits, quail and
pheasants for next season.

Neither prize lighting or football,

Mrs. I>nvid Taylor of Muncy Val
ley, died at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. C. M. ('roll, at IHi
shore, Saturday morning, December
•2 aged ahout V> years. The remains
; were teken to her home at Miiney
; Valley Monday morning and the
uim nil and interment was on Tups
| day. Airs. Taylor had gone to 1 in
shore to visit her daughter, and was
attacked only a few days before with
i [meunionia, but 110 serious results
were apprehended. Her son, I'. M. j
Taylor was there the day before, anil
left 011 the evening train, thinking
his mother was improving, li was
a great shock to all when on Satnr
j day morning she grew suddenly
! worse and almost immediately died.
She leaves to mourn her loss a hus
band, and lour children—two sons
and two daughters. The sons are
P. M.and 11. 11. Taylor, of Muncy
Valley, and the daughters are Mrs.
0. M. ('roll of Dushore and Mi.-s
Mable Taylor, of Muncy Valley.
Much surprise was occasioned at
New Albany late Saturday evening
wlieti notices were posted announc
ing the fact that the stock ofSilvi
ra A-Co's Store, together with other
items of personal properly had been
siezed and would he sold by the
sheriH'on Saturday Dec.:}, at s A. M.
Action was brought by .1. A. Hornet

will dispose of them.
The Taxpayers' Association, of
Luzerne county, is determined to
wipe out the practice of jury fixing
in that county. Although there
has never been anything discover
ed that would lix a crime of this
kind on any particular person in
Luzerne county, members of the
Taxpayers'-Association are of the
opinion that jurors have been fixed
in some criminal cases that have
recently been tried, as no other
conclusion could be reached by dis
interested persons who heard the
evidence in the eases in question.
'The association feels that it is little
use trying to convict 110 matter
how strong the evidence may Ie
unless something is done to bring
the "jury 'ixer" to |ustice. After
giving the matter much careful
thought the officers-of the 'Taxpay
ers' Association have offered re
wards amounting to £(>,000, be
lieving that an inducement of tliir
kind will be the means of making j
the practice so risky that few will
care to attempt anything of the
kind in the future.
The Philadelphia Record in an
editorial says: We Americans pride
ourselves upon living in the most
civilized country on the face of the
globe. Ours is a Christian land, and
we dwell in the Twentieth century.
Vet there are reasons why weshould
not thro v stones at benighted
foreigners. For instance: It has
been demonstrated that the question
whether a man shall be whisked into
eternity on a given date, under the
form of laws founded upon the prin
ciple of equal justice to all, depends
upon whether he can raise a certain
number of dollars to pay the costs of
an appeal. Another man may be
taken by force from hi> family and
friends, sold into slavery and worked
to death, ami in the conflict of
authority between various officials
or a lack of authority 011 the part of
any of them, there appear* to be
little prospect of adequately punish
ing the culpable or breaking up their
1 pernicious practices:

Last winter the miuing village of
Morris Run, Tioga county, had a
scourge of small pox, there being
over 200 cases. The miners' strike
was on over a year, but a few weeks
ago the mines were opened again,
and are now being operated on full
time. About three weeks dipl.jj
theria broke out in the town and has
increased so rapidly that the schools
were closed last week. The local
physicians are doing their best to
control the epidemic, but it may be
come necessary to call 011 the state
board of health for assistance.
