n Chance FOR TI,eoloxiaus

A Church quarrel in Northumberland
county, of long standing, has boen
settled by the Supreme Court deciding
that Sunday Schools do not come
under the head Of "divine service"
The Sunbury Democrat, in allading to
tho case, says:
The Luthernans and German Reform.
crs of Lower Augusta twp, who joint
ly own and worship in what is known
as the "Lantz Church." have for sew.
eral years been engaged in lawsuit. =
When tho church was built by those
two congregations they entered into a
written agreement that nothing but
"divino worship" was TO be held there
in In after years Sunday Schools
were inaugurated, and these two con-
grogations formed and held one in a
school house near the church, After
awhile unplcasantness arose and the
Lutheran wing of the school seeded
and went into the church, where they
held their school against the protest
OF the Reformeds, who contended that
the holding Of Sunday Shcool was not
"divine service" A lawsuit ensued
and Judge Rockefeller decided in favor
Of the Lutherans. The Reformeds ap-
poaled to the Supreme Court, and that
tribunal has just rendered decision
reversing the decision OF tho Court be
low. The whole matter appeared TO
hinge on the question whether "divine
worship would correctly embrace
Sunday Schools. During the trial in
our Court Judge Rockefeller sitting
in equity) several ministers were sum.
moned to give their Interpretation Of
"divino service" They disagreed rs
well as the Supreme Court and the
Court below.

Originality.

One does feel sometimes, if one writes,
that there is nothing left in the world to
be original about; that pretty much
everything has been said, sung, described.
The cyclical theory is dreadful night
mare. And to think of Livingstone's find
ing in the very heart of Africa just the
same sort of a bird-trap that civilized
American boys catch chippies with !!
Given, a human being-and everything is
included. You get your original idea down
to its simples statement, and there is moth
ing left but some proverb, familiar as
household words. One doesn't know
whether to be flattered or annoyed; but,
If one does strike off something really
original that one may be
morally, ifnot statistically, certain can not
be found in the ancients-he is sure to read
it next day in the Presidents inaugural or
George EliOt's latest novel. These columns
of choice extracts from the best writer's,
new and oid-which are getting to be more
and more in vogue in journalism-ar more
harrassing than any special class of read
ing to person who imagines that he has
patent OH any one ida, or group of ideas.
But doubtless one should congratulate ones
self that the seed of truth is sure to strug>
gle to the light through every soil /; that
deep drainage does not necessarily help.
nor do superphosphates hinder it. This is
the view myself am inclined to take. If
Shakespeare happens to say the same thing
that / do, let me not be ignobly Jealous.
Rather, let the race receive my congratu-
lations.-Erons "7he Old Cdbinet,n Scrib-
ner's for Muy. ge7

On yesterday evening, at the hour set for
the trial of George w. Gentry for assault
of J. H. Hitler, quite number of citizens
had gathered at the Court House to witness
the trial. The attorney for the defence,
after consulting the officer as to what wit.
nesses We're present, asked for postpone
ment of the case on the ground that a GER
tain witness whom he deemed of impor-
lance to the defence had so far eluded the
officer in sucha manner that the ordinary
process of law could not be served upon
him, and asked that he be attached. He
stated that he had an affidavit in his pock-
ct. Laughter by the counsels for the pros
ecution and bystanders, which, with the
Court'sIpermission he would read.
The Court held that person could not
be attached upon whom a subpoena had
never been issued, as he had not shown
any contempt Of Court. The motion to
postpone was not entertained, whereupon
the counsel for the defence waived exam
ination, and asked the Court to name the
bond. Some discussion ensued by the OPP
posing counsel as to whether the case was
a baiiable one or not, and d.. Ludlow and
Mrs. Hitler were examined as to the con-
dition of Mr. Hitler when they last saw
him. The Court placed the bond at $500
until next "Wednesday, at p. NJ, by
which time the condition of Mr.. Hitler
can be aseertained to certainty. Should
his recovery be assured by that time, the
Court can reduce the bail if it sees proper.
I AS Gentry could not find any one to go
on his bond, he was conducted back to his
cell in the county jail.

Don Carries Interviewed.

3 New YORK, April pa New York cor
respondent has had an interview with Don
Carlos, who justiiies his present course by
saying that the act by which the throne
was given to Isabella was a violation Of
the organic law of the kingdom, and there
fore illegal; and he proposed to continue
the fight for the rights of his house began
by his grandfather. His programme of
government is that everything shall be
done through free Cortes there shall be
complete decentralization in everything
but general politics. CASTELAR, and Figue-
ras don Carlos holds are men of great
ability; but the republic is never possible
in Spain without assuming the widest So
cialistic character. Of Theirs, Carlos says
he has not much reason to fear his intri-
CUES of hostility. AS TO Cuba, he holds the
abolition of slavery to be indispensable,
but gradual, not at the expense of the pro-
prietors. No government, however, dare
allude in Spain to the alienation of Cuba.

Potatoes in Drills.

Mr.. w. J. Pettee desires to know some
thing about drill planting for potatoes.
My method is-plow the land in the fall !;
as early in the spring as possible, draw on
barnyard manure, twenty two-horse loads
to the acre, spreading from the wagon !;
harrow well then with twO-horse hoe
drill the land, thirty inches apart in these
drills drop the seed (cut some time previ-
GUS into two eyes to set, twelve inches
apart cover the seed with the two-horse
hoe, by splitting the ridges turned up i'll
making the drills, using no hand labor,
unless the end of that drill comes up to the
fence-in thatcase the end of the drill must
be covered by hand for a distance equal to
the length Of the team should the potato
patch be away from the fence, there will be
no necessity for using any hand labor.
We clip the above from the Country
Gentleman, and commend the practice as
economical aud as applicable to late plant
ed as to early planted potatoes. AS soon as
the plants can be seen above ground, q one
horse cultivator should be moving between
rows, andstir the earth as close to the po--
tatoes as possible without disturbing them.
After the plants are larger they can be
filled moderately by running a two-horse
hoe between the rows. All the work may
be done by horse power, even the digging
of the crop.

Clean Water.

EDITORS CHRONIcLE: While it may be
a debatable question as to the propriety of
passing the hog law or as to whether the
members of each of the fire companies are
not entitled to new suit of clothes, L
think there can be nc. doubt as to the pro-
priety of doing something to improve the
condition of the Spring near McClanalan's
mill, OH Main street, for with persons
Of delicate stomachs, who are aware of the
fact that in order to obtain this precious
draught, one must step inside wall, and
that the filth from the feet must necessari-
ly wash back into the spring, and that al
most every moment in the day buckets are
dipped into the spring, some of which are
not very clean, and sometimes dirty boys
souse their filthy hats into the
spring, and thus obtain the precious
draught; while these and many
similar facts exist, which might be men
toned. As above intimated, persons of
delicate stomachs can not very well relish
the water from that spring.
Now, would it not be better to close the
wall completely over the spring and let the
water run out through spout as hereto
fore. Most respectfully submitted by an
OBSERVER.
