JUDGE MORROW has instructed the
n Bradford county grand jury that it was
81 its duty to take cOgDizance of horse.
racing There is a stringent law against
n horse racing, and yet it is violated with
n imrunity every day.
STOVES have been in demand again
4 recently, and those consistent peo ple
who wont put up one before the 1st of
October, have had shivering time of it.
By-the-way, some philosophers inform
MS that if a stove is put up by male
biped without swearing there will be
peace in that family for at least a year

PROF. II. ID. WALKER, of Blooms.
4 burg, has been appointed principal of
the Normal School at Waverly, which |
VIII probably soon he organized as a |
state institution. The professor is well
qualified for his new position, and while |
our people will regret to lose him as a
citizen they will be pleased by his pro-
motion to position of usefulness.
BUSINESS MEN.-The Doctors: all of

We believe ague prevails pretty gen.
orally along the North Branch, though
in Bloomsburg it is confined to the
lower parts of the town.
DEATH OF AN AGED MAN.-On
wednesday last John G.. Youngman,
ofSunbury, the founder of the Sunbury
"Gazattc," and father of the present
editor, died at his residenc, ia that
place. He was the oldest man living
in Sunbury, his age being about Sc
years. lie had been confined to his
room but few days. JVutSontown Rec
ord, Sept. 10.
IN the proceeding in Equity to re.
strain the Town Council of Centralia,
and certain contractors, from proceed.
ing to execute certain contracts for fix
ing and repairing streets in said bor-
ough, Judge ELwELL read an opinion
III Court on Saturday last, refusing tie
preliminary injunction asked for, and
the case goes over for final hearing here
after on bill and answer.
THE fraternity of printers about the
COLUMBIAN Office were greatly obliged
by Judge RUPERT, last week, who pre-.
uented them with generous supply of
Concord grapes, and some wine, for
which he has their most profound ac.
acknowledgements. The grapes were
splendid specimens. Judge II. raised
about three tons of them.
We neglected last week to notice a
box Of wild grapes-the largest we ever
saw-present by Mr.. ALBERT ACIIEN-
BACH, of Orange township, who also
has our thanks.
JOHN LoRMAN died suddenly, on (
Saturday last, in GILMoRE's saloon,
probably apoplexy. Esquire BROW
Eis summoned an inquest, who certify l
that no marks of violence appeared on {
his body and that he "died by the Wis.
lta'ion of COP in the natural way"
What proof they had of this latter fact
(if 1t be fact we are not informed, but
we doubt whether they could substan-
tlate it in legal proceeding. No doubt
the jury did not know the cause of the =,
death, Notwithstanding their present S
ment. q
IN the matter of some ten or twelve l
petitions presented at the late Court for ,,
the appointment OF viewers to assess y
damages for right of way against the I
Danville, Hazleton and Wilkesbarrcl e
railroad Company, the Court appointed !
viewers under the provisions of the f
general railroad law and fixed the 3D. of t
october Tuesday as the time for their Il
meeting. The cases are upon the line !
Of the road in Catawis5a, Main and a
Beaver townships, and we suppose the u
viewers will meet at Catawissa and be q
engaged at least two or three days in c
the performance of their duties.
