A WORD TO OUR FRIENDs.-Since we have
become sole owner of this establishment we have
laborcd under many disadvantages on account of
not having the means to make such improve
mcnts as we desired Depending solely upon
our earnings and to kind friends, to whom we
feel grateful for their patronage, we have liqui-
dated debts contracted for the improvements
which we were compelled to make. We are
anxious to make further improvements, and
make this one of the most complete offices in the
country. For such project we must, however,
rely upon our friends throughout the county for
their liberal support. We ask the favor of all
those who would like to sec us prosper, to exert
themselves in our behalf in securing subscribers
and Job work. In doing so they will reap n
benefit as well as ourselves. We therefore solicit
the patronage of all who feel an interest in the
Republican cause, and desire a readable family,
as well as q local journal, at lower rate than
any other published in the county. To accom-
pish such an end we propose to compensate all
for their labor Believing that ''tho laborer is
worthy of his hire" we make the following pro-
position to all who will engage in canvassiug for
us:
For every list of 100 subscribers Mt S1.50 paid
in advance, we will give an order of $40, payable
in goods, at any establishment that advertises in
cur columns.

SPECIAL COURTS NO LONGER NECEssARY.-An
erroneous opinion having been industriously cir.
culated in relation to the necessity, that will
necessarily arise for the holding of especial
Courts" in the event of the election of practic-
ing lawyer to the position of President Judge, in
the county in which he resides and has practiced
his profession for the purpose of disposing of the
cases in which he may have been concerned as
counsel, n simple reference to the late Act of
Assembly upon that subject, will be sufficient to
correct it, and to show that any other President
Judge In the State can be called to hold the REG
ULAR TERN of the Court, when there are cases,
upon either the ciUl or cr;n,inal list, which the
Judge of the proper district by reason of any dis
ability, cannot try; and that all such cases may
therefore now be tried at the REGULAR TERM,
without calling Special Courts rs was at one time
supposed to be necessary.
The Act to which we refer provides, that 'In
'case of sickness of President Judge, in any
"Judicial District in Pennsylvania, or sickness in
''his family, or Of hiS inability to hV'd inc regular
'teI nf his Courts, in any county, from any cause
cldterer, it shall be lawful for him to call upon
"any other President Judge in the Common
'wealth, who may not himself he engaged, to
'hold said regular term of Courts, and said Pre-
''sident Judge so called upon, is hereby author
''ized and empowered to discharge the duties ap-
''pcrtsining TO said Office fllly as the regular
'ly commissioned President Judge of said district
''could do if present"
In case recently before the Supreme Court of
this State, the Judges, in an opinion, delivered
upon the 27th day of February last, and reported
in the last book of rcports-1ith p. f. Smiths
Reports page 33, held this act TO be constitution
al, and upon n very careful review of the whole
subject, they say, sour conclusion therefore, Is
"that, in the of sickness and other disability
! Contemplated by the act of legislation already
/ ''refcrrcd to, the President Judge Of the proper
'district has power to call in the President Judge
''of another district to hold the REGULAR TERM of
! ''his Courts in any county in his district. The
! president Judge, so called in, when sitting, has
'jursdiction and authority to hear and try al ed,-
'ses pending at that term in any of the Courts,
''vIL or CRIMINAL, including capital and other
''felonies in the Courts of Oyer and Terminer and
! "General Jail Deiyery.'
1t was under this Act of Assembly, as constru-
ed and enforced by this decision of the Supreme
Court, that Judge Woods, of Mtin county, held
the last regular March Term of our Courts, al
though II was supposed a homicide ease was then
to be tried, and under lis very liberal and judici-
cious provisions, the presiding officers of our
Courts can exchange with each other whenever
necessary, and thus no difficulty can arise, and
no additional expense to the county be incurred
in the future, in the trial of causes in which the
Judge of the District may have been employed
before his election,

Mr.. Hyman the conductor who lost his ,iee in
the recent accident near Remove was a worthy
and moral man. a few nights before the acci-
dent, he awakened some of the family at the Cen
trail Hotel in this place, where he boar ded by his
moaning and cries. He related In the morning that
he had terrible dream in which he imagined
that he was in wreck on the road, aud that he
was unable to save himself from destruction. His
wife, on his leaving his home few days BEFORE
saw that he was detected, and told him she fear
she had seen him for the last time.
This is the third fatal accident that has very
recently occurred in this vicinity, which had been
previously presented to the victims in dreams
short time previous to the occurrence. is this
simply coincidence, or has it n supernatural
connection In every instance the fact of the
dream had been mentioned by the parties, and
the same detection of spirits followed.
