are many farms, we are informed, in this

been one year ago. Investments in real es-
tate in this county, at the present rates, are
safe, even ifgreenbacks could be put on a
par with gold tomorrow.

cured substitutes, and had them sworn in,

INTERNAL REVENUE DEcIsIoNs-Tailors,
boot and shoe makers, and others who man
ufacture partly to order and custom work,
and partly for general sale, must pay five
per cent, the same as other manufacturers,
under Sec. 93. Commission houses, selling
goods on consignment, are not to be regard
ed as local agents Of the manufacturer or
proaacey Of said goods. Therefore, when
the manufacturer makes such consignment
the law requires him to make return of the
same. and pay duty on the market value of
such goods at the place Of manufacture or
production.

ing columns it will be seen that the dentists

Acquitted.

We CLEAN the following Court proceed
ings from the Sunbury american. They
will Prove interesting to mang of our ror.
ders who are anxious to learn the result of
the trial:
Conn., rs .'osph F. TaStine.-Tndict.
mGnt assault and battery by cutting and
stabbing. No true bill. Royal 5. Ad.
AIMS to pay costs.
Com. r. S. Adams-lndictmen as
sault and battery. No true bill. Joseph
Z. Vastine to pay the cost.
These prosecutions grew out Of an at
tack made on Mr., Adams, who is and was
a Conductor on the Bloomsbury and Lack.
awanna Railroad. The occurrence took
place at the hotel Of Mr.. Joseph Van
Buskirk, in Northumberland, last pring,
when according to the testimony of Mr..
Vastire made an unprovoked attack on
him, in the parlor Of the hotel, with
knile, inilictlng injuries upon Mr.. Adams,
which prevented him from attending to his
duties as Conductor for some months The
case excited considerable interest at the
time. 1t will be seen that cross bills were
sent before the Grand Jury, Q. in other
words, Mr.. Vastinc having prosecuted
Mr.. Adams, the two bills were sent up to
the Grand Jury, together with the wit-
nesses OF both parties, thus virtually con-
sttution that body, the tribunal for the
trial Of the two cases, a matter of double
propriety; except in extremely rare cases
when the ends of justice cannot be reached
otherwise. Mr.. Vastne is resident of
st, Louis, and Mr. Adams Of Luzerne
county.

Important to Drafted Men
in 1862.

Hon. William Whiting, Solicitor Of the
War Department, delivered an opinion,
some time since, on the question OF liabl.
ity to serve, Of men drafted iu Pennsylva.
MIA, in SOP, but who have never been
mustered into service. The following is
the
OPINION Militia men drafted under
laws OF tie State of Pennsylvania, not
having been multered into the seryce OF
the U. s. cannot wfully be treated as
deser;ers lnasmuch as the number OF
troops and the length Of their service 10
the different States, have been or will be
taken into consideration by the Presideu,
Sc as to equalize the same among the
tho States in the draft which is soon to be
ordered under the act of 1893, and as the
deficit OF troops Of Pennsylvania will thus
be made up, it is my opinion that no fur
tier proceedings should be taken in rela.
