A BIT OF EARLY HISTORY We are indebted to V. A. Lotier for an old newspaper clipping containing some interesting facts of local history which center ou the first courthouse, obtained from J. Frazer of Cincinnati, U., who in his time was identified with the early history of this county. Probably all with exception of a very few of our readers are aware that that Montour county at one time form ed a part of Columbia county, which was established in 1813. Danville was selected as the county seat. Later the townships of Turbot and Chillisquaque were cut off and annexed to Northum berland county This disseverence left Danville, considerably west of the center and furnished an excuse for those who from the first desired Blooms burg as the county seat to renew an agitation looking to the removal of the seat of justice to that place. In 1845 they accomplished their object much to the dissatisfaction of this part of the county. The result was the establishment of Montour county in 1850. The first court was held here in 1814, in the second story of a log ware house on the river bank a few doors east of Mill street. Seth Chapman of Northumberland was president judge and William Montgomery and Leonard Rupert, the associate judges. Among the members of the bar at that day were Alem Marr who grad uated at Princeton in 1807 and was admitted to pratice in 1813. Later Ebenezer Greenough came up from Sunbury and hung out his shingle. George A. Frick was also among the early attorneys and practiced for many years. To defeat the movement on foot to remove the seat of justice to Blooms burg the weathiest citizens of Danville with commendable liberality under took with the small aid of SIOSO from the county to erect a new courthouse. The building which was commenced April, 1815, and completed September, 1816, cost $2,980.80. The sum furnish ed by the county did not go very far, and the big residue of nearly $2,000 was raised by popular subscription, Daniel and William Montgomery lead ing off with SIOOO each and Joseph Maus, Thomas Woodside, Philip Goodman, Alexander Montgomery and James Longhead following with sub scriptions of SIOO each. There were many smaller subscriptions of various sums. The new courthouse was built by O'Malley & Vastine. The bill of items found in the old clipping furnishes very interesting reading. One hundred and four thousand brick were used at $7.50 per thousand; laying the brick and boarding the hands cost $382; 1080 bushels of lime were used at 15 cents per bashel; hauling for eight months with one team cost st>24 ;hauling stoue from "below Indiantown," $31.50 The carpenter work cost S7OO. Putting up scaffolds and tying wythes, $lO. Boarding two carpenters for six mouths syo. Toward the foot of the column is an item as follows: "Sixty-four gallons of whiskey, s»>4.'' This was considered a very mode rate cost for liquid refreshment neces sary to render complete the roof, walls and floors of the temple of justice. The old clipping quaintly adds: "In the erection of a building of the same size 20 years prior eleven barrels —in stead of two—of the indispensable liquid would have been consumed." The present courthouse was built in 1858. OKA KNKSS CANNOT UK CI'RKI) by local application*, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

Tlie following from the "El Paso Herald" of April '2O will lie reail with interest by our citizens: "S. V. McClure, formerly an army officer and who has been studying law for some time in the office of Clark, Fall & Hawkins was to-day admitted to the bar. He passed his examination with flying colors and will pratice here in El Paso". S. V. McClure, who left the Army to become a disciple of Blackstone, is a son of John MeOlure and a brother ot W. L. McClure, cashier of the First National Bank, this city. His health which led to his resignation, we understand, is much improved. Almost a Murder. A murder was nearly committed on the Bastress farm about a mile and a half northeast of Paxinos, near the noon hour Sunday. Rowland Tay lor, aged 14 years, shot William Bas tress, aged 13 years, during a quarrel over Taylor's entrance to an abandon ed house. Bastress and Morton Price, aged 1<» years, were playing in the house and the door was locked. Taylor went there between ten and eleven o'clock, and finding that the floor was locked called Bastress and demanded that he be admitted. Bastress refused to let him in and a war of words followed, during which Taylor drew a revolver and pointing it at Bastress pulled the trigger. The bullet struck Bastress in the neck near the larynx and plough ed its way through the flesh, imbedd ing itself near the base of the left ear, from where it was removed by a physician later. Bastress was able to walk home with the assistance of his companion, but during the afternoon suffered a relapse and spent a bad night. Monday morning his condition was improved and is expected to re cover. Taylor said that lie had no inten tions of killing Bastress and drew tin weapon from his pocket only to scare him ; that it was discharged accidental ly. No arrests have been made.

The Great Wallace Show is thorough ly fortified with its great performances that its representatives do not do as some showman do,dictate to the papers what kind of a write-up the show should have after it is gone. Knowing that no reporters can truthfully say aught against his show, Mr. Wallace is accorded genuine original motives at the hands of the press. Tom Murphy,managing editor of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, is original, quaint aud explicit in his writings. In a column and a half of favorable comment on the Great Wallace Show, the Chronicle said: " Wallace's Show may take money out of the town.' If it does, the popu lar verdict is: Glad that Wallace got our money if a circus had to come and get it. "The Wallace Circus is all right. It is better than when here before. It is by far the best attraction in the cir cus line that has ever been seen in Augusta. It is as thorough as a circus gets to be. "No matter whether a circus 'takes money away' or not, the circus given here yesterday was well worth in en tertainment the money given to it." The Great Wallace Shows will ex hibit in Danville on Tuesday, May 20, when it is claimed that they will give more for the money and a better qual ity of entertainment than has ever yet been presented by a circus in this city.

A woman who has had experience with this disease, tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says. Our three children took »vhooping cough last summer, our baby boy twin*; only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out iu much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy.

Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing men tion reading this generous offer in this paper. Two WroTiK*. A clergyman, lecturing on "Capital Punishment," took strong grounds against the death penalty, arguing that while it was wrong for a man to com mit murder it was but another wrong to kill the murderer and that two wrongs never made a right. "At least," saiil he,"l never heard of but one ease where they did." And he proceeded to relate the following story, presumably in support of his argu ment: "A man entered a country grocery, where a number of the villagers sat around on barrels and boxes, and ask ed if two wrongs ever made a right. The response was 'Never.' So I thought till recently," continued he. "when I met a stranger who asked me to change a five dcllar bill for him. I did so and after his departure found the bill was a counterfeit. So I kept it till the other day and shoved it on a fellow greener than I." The listeners exclaimed that those were two wrongs certainly, but they didn't make a right. "Well," replied the man, "they mad« me all right."
