AN IMPORTANT TRIAL.-The entire OF last
week was occupied by our Court of Com anon
Pleas IN the trial Of most important eject
nlent case, in which Murray Hoffman, Dr..
was plaintiff and James and John McDer-
nitt defendants This case involved the IT,
tie to some two hundred acres of land in
Clearfeld township, warranted in the names
of Philip Wager and Hilery Baker, and was
particularly important in the fact that large
bodies of land in the same locality held a
relative position as to title, and the decision
in this case would be viewed as a precedent
in others of like nature which might follow.
The plaintiff contended that the tract of land
in dispute lay on the Clear6elG creek, in this
countv. and was embraced in tract of land
warranted in the name of Thomas Roop, on
which tract the defendants alleged they re-
sided and that it was not interfered with by
the claim of the plaintiff. The trial Occu-
MED the time of the Court from Monday af-
teruoon until Saturday afternoon, the jury
retiring to their room, after listening 10
very able and exhaustive charge from his
Homer, Judge TAYLOR. and returning In ABOUT
two hours with verdict IN favor OF the de-
fepdants. The case was ably and admirably
conducted by the counsel on both sides
Messrs Blair, Johnston and Shoemaker Tor

defendants. The jury was an lnteihgent
body of men, and in point OF nationality was
very sing-larly constituted. it being com
posed of an equal number of Germans IRISH

birth. OF course this latter fact had no
bearing on the result, but was nevertheless
singular enough to be noted. A motion Tor

PLASTER. made a mistake last
week in announcing that Mr.. Geo. Huntley
was prepared to furnish lime in large or small
quantities. We should have said plaster in
stead of lime, and as that article is much cheap
er because much less is needed for the purp 1se,
farmers and other tilers of the earth should
not fail to make use of it now that they can
bay it so near home and at such a moderate
outlay of cash.

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.-
The Pittsburgh Chronicle says: There is prob
ably no disease to which human flesh is hsiI''
that is more distressing in its effects than that
of Dyspepsia and kindred diseases arising from
disorders of the Liver and Digestive Organs
and it is this fact, probably, which has caused
the preparation of the American remedies now
before the public. Among these remedies are
DR.. HoofaRd's German Bitters, which has been
prominently before the public for years, and
which has received the highest testimonials
from thousands of our citizens, who have tested
its efficiency in diseases of the character re err ed
to. 1t has also received the highest comnen
dation from Physicians VINO have used it in
their practice, with complete success. The

satisfied. The lessons of the past atmonish the len.
der that 1t Is not well to be over-anXious in exact
ing from the borrower rigid compliance with the
letter of the bond. If provision be made for the
payment of the Indebtedness of the Government in
the manner suggested, our nation will rapidly re-
cover It's Wonted prosperity. Its interests require
That some measure should be taken to release the
large amount of capital invested III the securities
| OF the Government 1t is not now merely unpro-
duclve, but i'll taxation annually consumes $150OOO-
600, which would otherwise be used by our en-
terprsing people in adding to the wealth of the ma
ton. Our commerce, which at one time success
fully rvalled the great maritime powers, has rapid
ly diminished. And our industrial interests are in
a depressed and languishing condition. The devel-
opment of our ineXhaustible resources is checked
and the fertile fields Of the South are becoming
waste for want of means to till them. With the
release of capital life would be infused into the
parazed energies of our people, and activity and
Vgor impaired to every branch of industry. Our
people need encouragement in their efforts to re-
cover from the effects of the rebellion and of injud-
clOus legislation, and it should be the aim of the
Government to stimulate them by the prospect of an
carly release from the burdens which impede their
prosperity. And we should at least manifest a will
mgncss to help to bear them
We all remember with what torrents OF
ridicule and outcries of denunciaton these
sentiments were received in New England at
the time of their utterance. But these awaited
nothing. The message was scattered broad
cast over the land, and its utterances sank
into the minds of the people
When Mr. johnson went home, it was with
the purpose as we said before, of asking the
people of his state to decide between him and
those with whom he took issue. He engaged
actively in the canvas, and made frequent
addresses to the people. In all of them he
advanced the sentiments above quoted, en-
forcing them with argument and illustration
pertinent to the time and place. The radical
telegraph dispatches reported that the Ex-
President was running the canvass in Tonnes
see on a reputation platform. When the
returns came in, it proved that the johnson
ticket had carried the State by an immense
majority, and that a Legislature had been
chosen that is certain to send the chief re-
pudiator to the United States Senate.
IT the sentiments of the message be re-
pudiation, then has the great State of Tennes-
see embraced the doctrine, and given the
most convincing evidence of her conversion
and purpose. Is it not time for those who
are making these terrible exactons from the
substance of the people, to ask themselves
whether they are not laying on the load
beyond the patience Of the country to bear?
The signs are portentious. The people are
themselves on this question pre-
paratory to the next great Presidential con-
test. The issue cannot be in doubt The
must abate their demands or
lake the consequences.

make the brother-iH-law's prospects more

The Biddetord Journal says John Kicker
an insane man, living near the sea on the
east side of the river, has for the past two
years, walked on an average twenty-five
miles per day. and in the summer season
wheels IL wheelbarrow. He starts from his
home, goes up to the village, crosses the
bridge and thence to the beach, from the pier
to Cakes neck and sometimes farther, and
then back home again, a distance of not less
than five miles and makes from five to seven
trips day. He picks a few chips and pieces
of board and wheels them home, and this
work he does constantly day in and day out,
except Sundays when he goes on long walks
without the wheelb arrow.

the robbery, happened to visit his barn

There was Il fearful storm in the town of

week ago. The most serious damage was
done to the house of farmer named Richard
Richardson. 1t was n log or block-house,
well built, sixteen by twenty-four feet and
one and Il half story high. AT the time the
tornado struck it, midnight, there were twelve
persons inside, most Of them up stairs asleep.
The storm coming without warning tore the
house to pieces and scattered the material and
contents, including all the people in it except
ING Mr. and Mrs Richardson and the young
est child, over large tract Of land reaching
at least a quarter of a mile. The eldest SON
u man of twenty-five, was carried thirty-toul
rods and so bruised that there is little hope OF
his recovery. Two other sons Of Mr.. Rich
artlson were carried about thirty rods and in
iured by having their limbs broken and theil
bodies bruised, and one died soon afterwards
Two little girls were simply dropped on the
other side of the house without injury. A
