We copy the following from the Courier : "We are iudobted to the architect, Mr. John F.

Tho interior of the building is finished with Southern pine. All the rooms und corridors aro neatly wainscotted. The building is located on southwest corner of East and New Streets.

Everybody is talking about the great free offer of Dr. Groono's, the most successful specialist in curing nervo is aud clirouic diseases, and who discovered that wonderful med icine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood aud nerve remedy. He makes a specialty of t real ing pat ients through li-tter coi rospoiidoiice, and nil who accept his offer aro astonished nt the marvelous success of this meth od. His office is at X West Hth St., X; v. York City, where he ro ceives and carefully examines every letlet sent to him by persons de scribing their cases and telling him their symptoms. After thoroughly studying each case he answers the letter, explaining the cause of each symptom and telling n sure way to got well uiil! !foiig.'' He makes 'tile patients understand exactly what ails them and tells them all about their complaints, and all this is en tirely freo of charge. They savo the expense of a trip to thtt city, havo no fee to pay, and have the benefit of tho best medical advice and con sultation. Here is uu opportunity for you to get well, reader, you can either accept or reject it. Which will you do? - - -THE LOG CASES Tried tit Xtio JtltHMitld J decided, in Junior of tic J'ltiitUljJs, There is considerable uneasiness iu Williamsport amongst tho mem bers of the West Branch Lumber man's Exchaugu ami other lumber men, by reuHou of tho suits just tried this week iu Now Bloom field. Perry county, iu which tho log catchers uioug the Perry county side of tho liver were tho plaintiffs aud tho exchange the defendant Tho catchers of the logs cla'ined fifty conts a log, while the exchange only agreed to pay them fifty cents a thousand feot. There cau bo no doubt the Act of Assembly provides clearly that for all Ioks caught above tho mouth of the North Brunch, at Northumberland, there shall bepuid but fifty cents a thousand feet, and it is quite as clear that for all loga caught below that point the owners must pay fifty cents a log, or about $.'1.50 per thousand feet, and this was the view udoptud by Judge Lyons iu tho case just tried, and the jury found accordingly ; and for the reason these cases are the only ones thus far tried, tho commotion iu lumber circles exists. Hon. Charles Hower, of Seliusgrove, and ex-Judge Baructt, of New Bloom field, represented the log catchers, while the exchango was represented by Attorney General McCormick, ex-Judge Bucher and ex Judge Junkin, and the cases were the most hotly contested of any before this court for years, with a victory for the people. Of course, the case wil! be carried to the courts of last re sort, but there can be but little or any doubt of the the final con elusion, the law being clear on the subject.
