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

patients understand exactly what
ails them and tells them all about
their complaints, and all this is en

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.
