motely situated as they were, required
ilws OF more summary character than
the Acts Of Assembly Of Penn'a. had
provided for. They therefore passed
among Themselves, aud to have effect
over considerable space Of territory,
an act catitlel "Tha Shaaty Act,'
which was as f9llows: " al newly en-
ployed persons upon !he works. and be

furnish half q gallon Of liquor as a
treat for the company. In default there.
Of through obstinacy Or self will, or

Justification and produced the "shanty

that the act was valid in its fullest and
most liberal construction ; and that they
had the right to pass "shau!y laws"
dismissing the case; each one to pay
bis own costs. Some pert young limb
of the law may scOwl at this decision Of
the judge, but let us seriously ask our

the present day, vary with the decision
Of Judge Bishop IN this case The
reader must pardon farther dlSression'
Judge Bishop deserves more than a
passing notice, his name and person be-
came so identified with the settlement Of
Ridgway that he is part aud parcel Of
its history. Joel Bisho? came to the
place on which he afterwards lived and
died, probably as early as the year 1872
or 1913. 1t was quiet spot a little

we meet with to perform the part of housekeepes
when the young men who now eye them so admiriugIy
have persuaded them to become wives. We listen 10
those young ladies of whom speak, and hear them
not only acknowledging, but boasting, of their ign5
rance of all household duties, as nothing would 80
lower them in the estimation of their friends tie
confession of ability to bake bread and pies cock

recolectons we free to say that taper fingers and
lilly hands very pretty to look at with youEg
mans eyes, and sometimes we have known the artlcas
innocence of practical knowledge displayed by youGg
miss to appear rather interesting than otherwise. But
we have lived long enough to learn that life is full Of
rugged experiences and that the most loving, romantic,
and delicate people must live cooked otherwise
food and the house be kept clean and tidy by INDUS
trious hands. And for all the practical purposes Of
married life, it is generally found that for husband
to sit and gaze at his wifes taper fingers and lily
