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.

A LAWYER.
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.

Circus Entitled to Money.
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.

of lilies, carnations and ferns came as
gifts from the Hospital, the painters

Whooping Cough.
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.
Our oldest little girl would call lustily
for cough syrup between whoops.

Won't Follow Advice After Paying For it.
In a recent article a prominent phy
sician says,"lt is next to impossible
for the physician to get his patients to
carry out any prescribed course of hygi
ene or diet to the smallest extent: he
has but one resort left,namely, the drug
treatment. When medicines are used
for chronic constipation, the most mild
and gentle obtainable.such as Chamber
lain's Stomach & Liver Tablets, should
be employed. Their use is not followed
by constipation as they leave the bowels
in a natural and healthy condition.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so i
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- '
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every |
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the i
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra- i
ordinary effect of Swamp.Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won

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."
