Most Important Laws.
tbe passage of tbe net are placed on
record that tbe present owner is
amenable to tbe debts of tbe former
owner. The iJea of tbe luw is to
compel erery real estate owner to
place on public record all property
bo may own in order to prevent bis
hiding from bis creditors his assets.
Tbe law is plain however, and needs
no comment. It behooves every
owner of real estate to have bis deeds
recorded at once or bo may subject
himself to great inconvenience, ex
penso nnd annoyance. Recorder
Shitulel will make arrangements to
place on record all deeds left with
him but no time should be lost in
having them placed in bis bands.
The new uiiiikd woman's law.
This act provides that a married
woman may have tho same l ight and
power as an unmarried person to ac
quire, use, lease and dispose of prop
erty, but she may not mortgago or
convey her real estate unless her
husband joins. She may also make
any contract in writing or other
wise which is necessary, appropriate,
convenient (,v advantageous to the
exercise or enjoyments of her rights
of property, but she may not become
aecoiiiiiio.bil ion indorscr. maker,
guarantor of surety for another.
She may sue and lie sued civilly, but
she may not sue her hushatid except
for divorce or to protect or recover
his property when deserted by her,
but she not bearrested for her torts.
In suits between husband and wife
both shall be competent witnesses,
but cannot testify to confidential
communications unless by agree
ment. (She may dispose by will of
all her property, but the husband's
right as tenant by courtesy shall not
be atVecled. The act of June :, 17,
and ull other inconsistent acts are
repealed by this act, which was np
proved June 8, ls;i:J.
Tl.OXKLVILLE.
The lat legislature pased a few
mot important laws which every
body had better study carefully and
pay prompt obedience thereto.
Among them are the following.
ai.1. pLr.iis m vst i;E nrcoiti tn.
Act ''il of Pamphlet Laws is bound
to waken up owners of real estate
who have neglected to record the
deeds for the same. The law is ex
ceedingly exacting and leaves no
room for escape. The following
gives the principal features of it :

Last Friday morning as Jeremiah
Moyer (commonly called Charles,
and who resides on J. (1. Moyer' s
farm at this place) was watering his
horses at a creek about twenty rods
west of his barn, an accident hap
pened to him that is hard to explain.
Mr. Moyer usually left his horses
run loose to tho water, aud very of
ten after they had drank, they took
a run up to what is known as the
"sand hill." To avoid this, Mr.
Moyer took tho one that always
took tho lead to the water at the
halter. This is Moyer's story in his
out except Harry, whom I led to
the creek at the lalter. When I
came to the creek, I led him across
the bridge into tho creek from the
west side. All the other horses had
finished drinking and started to the
barn, I was standing on tho bridge
w hile the horse drank, and when ho
was dono drinking, I throw the
chain of tho halter over bis neck and
left him to follow the other horses
and this is the last I can recollect."
Now this can not posibly be the real
facts, as the circumstances which
followed will show. When Mr.
Moyer was discovered by one of his
boys, lie w as dow n on his bauds and
knees about seven steps on the east
side of the bridge all covered with
blood, and the blood still issuing
from his nostrils and one ear. When
the boy asked his father what had
happened, he replied that Harry
had kicked him. Tho boy ran to
the house and told his mother w hat
had happened, and vhen she came
on the scene she found Mr. Moyer
staggering along the fence which ho
used as a support, but soon sunk
down aud could go no further. Mrs.
Moyer called for help, whereupon
Mr. Moyer said "don't holler so,"
of which Moyer does not know any
thing about now. James M. Mat
tern and James L. Ocker were call
ed and helped Mr. Moyer to his
house and into bed where ho lay in
a stupor for about twenty-three
hours. Dr. Miller was called, and
upoir a close examination found that
no bones were broken. Mr. Moyer
is very badly cut above tho right
eye, aud both sides of his head and
face is badly skinned. Tho skin
from tho upper sido of his left hand
is almost eutirely torn off. I visited
Mr. Moyer on Sunday, and thought
him to bo u very sick mau, but Dr.
Miller assured his family that he
will pull through all right. Mr.
Moyer has now recovered his reason
and stoutly denies that ho was kick
ed, but does not know what has
happened. . . .Albert Swartz is down
with typhoid fever Measels nro

baud was at Laurel ton, and ground
out music for a festival. Laurelton
evidently knows a good thing when
it sees it, as tho band was engaged
to come back the third time. . . .Our
