< In Demand.-Lewis Potter Esq. of this
borough was appointed, few days ago,
Agent of the Htna Fire Insurance Co., of
Hartford, Conn, by T. Kirk White, ESD,
Special Agent. The Etna is one of the
oldest companies in the United States, and
the losses paid in fifty years has amounted
to almost thirty-six millions of dollars
"By their fruits ye know them" 1t is one
of the most absurd things upon earth to
neglect the means of providing a remedy
against the overwhelming consequences of
fire, when such q remedy is attainable
without the slightest difficulty. Have your
property at all times insured. Always ask
Mr.. Potter for a policy in the old Etna

There were two different actions in which
the plf S. (who are lumber firm in Phila-
delphia,) replevied lot of logs in the pos
session Of the def It's. Def'ts. gave prop
erty bond and retained the logs in dispute.
These logs were started by the plff's in
the spring of 1868, on the West Branch of
the Susquehanna River to be floated to their
mills on Swan Greek, in Maryland. The
logs were iloated loosely, not being RATED
together, part of them-about 37O-were
captured by def 'ts., while thus floating on
the river, and over 1000 of them lodged on
the islands in the river opposite the Dry
Saw Mill, in this county, belonging to the
defendants, and others, and were removed
by the defendants to their saw mill and
converted into lumber. The cases excited
much interest on account of the grave ques-
tion OF the constitutionality of the Act of
Assembly of 1868, prohibiting the floating
of logs loosely on said river, and giving au .
thority to persons so inclined, to take up
such logs. This question was very ably
discussed by the learned counsel on both
Sides The Judge charged the Jury that
the Act was constitutional and that the
plaintiffs could not recover the logs that
were captured in the river, but that under
the law and facts, their verdict should be
for the plaintiffs for the value of the logs
found by defendants ON the islands, and by
them taken therefrom. Verdict for plain
tiffs for $1078 4S.

Our I0sIIcr.

Round the idea of ones mother the mind Of
a man clings with fond affection. 1t is the first
deep thought stamped upon our infant hearts
when vet soft and capable of receiving the most
profound impressions, and the after feelings of
the world are more or less light in comparison.
Even in our old age we look back to that feel
ing as the sweetest we have through life. Our
passions and our willfulness may lead US far
from the object of our flial love- we learn even
to pain her heart, to oppose her wishes, to vio-
late her commands; we may become wild,
headstrong and angry at her counsels or oppo-
sition: but when death has stilled her monitory
voice and nothing but still memory remains to
reoapitulate her virtues and good deeds, atfec-
ton, like q flower beaten to the ground by a
past storm, raises up her head and smiles
among her tears Round that idea, as we have
said'thc mind clings with fond Affection and
even when the early period of our loss forces
memory to be silent fancy takes the place OF
remembrance and twines the image of our dead
parent with garland of graces and beauties
and virtues which we doubt not she possessed
