James Middle.-. worth, Isaac Heaver and John lleimbach were appointed to view a proposed street or alley in franklin township. The report of viewers of bridge site in Centre township was approved by the grand jury. The following reports of viewers were continued nisi, viz : Deports of nublie im ids in Monroe, Franklin iukI Heaver townships, ami report to widen an alley in the borough of Sclinsgrove. The Inquisition on the body of Nel son Mengle was approved ami the Comt ordered the' County to liav the ists. Corin oi-- Common I'i.cas. The divorce case of Mary ('.

Middlesworth and Ed. M. J lumiuol. Jacob Gilbert, Esq., was appointed to audit the accounts of the county olll eers with the Commonwealth. Why h democrat should receive this appointment, every time for eleven (11) long years, contrary to a private demo cratic rule of court, is something hard to understand. It is certainly not in harmony with justice and contrary to said rule. When Judge Hucher was on the bench, republicans were' favored with this appointment, as well as demo crats. Oltl'IIASs' Coi ht. Orders of sale were grantrd in the estates of Mary Teats, dee'd., and Ellen Gilbert, dee'd. Returns to orders of salo were con firmed in estates of Elias Shot.berger, dee'd., David Herrold, dee'd and Joel Bilger, dee'd. Utiles were granted on the heirs, in the estates of Jacob Lepley, dee'd., Jerome Angler, dee'd.. to accept the real estate of said decedents at the ap praisements or show cause why the same shall not be sold. All the accounts and widows' ap praisements were confirmed as adver tised. Since the proceedings aro so very short, of this very small court in this very little district, it would he well to tell our people just how long court lasted, and what it costs to run It, for no doubt they, as tax payers, will be In terested in knowing what is done with their hard earned money, collected as tux. There was a session on Monday fore noon, lasting one hour. Court adjourn ed till half past one, and in a scant hour and a half the business was about all transacted ; it adjourned until Tuesday, at ! n. m., at which time, It convened. The list of jurors were call ed, which required less than half an hour, when it again adjourned until Thursday at 2 o'clock p. in. This ses sion-lasted considerably less than one hour. All the businessof the courts, as you will see, did not near consume oua-half a day. Not a case was tried, nor was one judgement taken. This costs the county about $400.00, and ' the state over ($500.00) five-hundred dol lars. So the people can see how their money Is spent. - But that paid by the state don't ef fect us, because we are told, that like anteed. How lilce it would be for Judge Me- Hinganmn m ved from this dure, if Union County would Iks one ' place to Paxtonville. district and Snyder County another, How much more time he would have to go Into other districts and make that big extra money in addition to his $4,000.00 lie gets for his short time here and then you would be able to give the person, to whom, In all justice this term belonged, his just dues.- If af)htimal law Judges were al lowed and elected, how nieelv Mr. Leiser and Mr. Potter, two of the most brilliant legal lights of the State, could be served. If some would get Into a hob1, now able the re-t would In to helpthein out. Von know it would iicike no dill'er euce because the State pays for it. Thumday, Dee.
