A Curious Suit.-The case ofa New York
insurance company VS.. the Pennsylvania
Railroad, for damages alleged to be caused
to DIR. Rutherford's barn, at Middletown,
from sparks from a locomotive on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, having
been decided adversely to the Railroad
Company, will be appealed to the Supreme
Court. The barn was insured in New
York fire insurance company. The COM
pany paid Dr. Rutherford the insurance,
but demanded the amount paid the Doctor
from the railroad company as damages.
The latter refused to pay and the insurance
company brought suit against the railroad
company in New York and attached their
property to the amount due them. The
railroad company claimed, first, that they
did not set fire to the barn that their en-
gines were of the most approved pattern;
and, second, if they did cause the fire, it
was because straw and other dry, inflamma-
BILE stuff was scattered negligently around
the barn, and this should defeat any recov-
cry on the ground of negligence on the part
of the owner of the barn and, finally, that
no suit could be brought in the name of the
insurance company for part of the loss,
but the action must be brought in the name
of the owner of the barn for the entire loss

A Good Heater.-The following letter
from the county Commissioners pays well
merited compliment to the heaters manu-
tactured by Mr.. Jacob Fridley:
COMMISSIONERS OFFICE,
New Bloomfield, Pa, April 6, 1874.
Mr.. JACOB FRIDLEY DEAR SIR We
have every reason to be satisfied with the
action of the two heaters you put up last
December in the Court House, of our
County. The amount of heat guaranteed
by them has been ample, and the amount
of coal consumed small in proportion, as
compared with the heaters previously in
use. The atmosphere Of the Court Room
seems to be entirely free from the presence
of gas, when the heaters are in operation,
which was not the case before your heaters
were put up. We believe the material
used in the construction of your heaters, is
good and durable as could be got, that they
have been put up in complete and work
manlike manner, and we are satisfied that
you, as the inventor, are completely con-
versant with your business.
Yours, &c.
w. B. STAMBAUGH.

The Prospect for a Paper Mill.

Some weeks ago the HERALD called
attention to the fine field presented by
Los Angeles for the establishment of a
paper mill. The paragraph was cop
led by the San Francisco papers, and
finally attracted the attention of paper
mill men, who at once saw the oppor-
tunity, and resolved to avail them
selves of the advantages it offered.
Mr.. A. M. SoUTHwoRTH, Master of
Enterprise Grange in LIE Dow District,
has received the following letter,
which explains the purpose of the
writers:
San FRANCISCO, April "a, 1874.
Enterprise Grange, Los angeles, Cal.
GENTLEMEN: The papers of the
past week, so we have been informed,
say that you are DESTROYS of having a
paper mill located in your locality.
We are now running paper mill in
Illinois, and one of our objects in Cali
fOrnia is to secure site on which to
erect paper mill.
We should be glad to communicate
and hear from you-what Los Angeles
can offer as an inducement to locate
in your place. We are, respectfully,

A Health Institution for Los Angeles. The
Great Desideratum of the Day.

EDITOR HERALD: Los Angeles
has no such home accommodations as
the large multitude of health-s eekers
require. Hundreds are coming and
going away, without staying long with
us, not that the climate is defective,
but because they cannot find health
full home. They will not stop to build
for themselves the home they require,
and because they cannot find such
accommodations, they wisely, per-
haps, conclude that home comforts
should not be exchanged for climatic
advantages, with safety to themselves.
Let us, Mr.. Editor, have good Hy-
gienic Home conveniently located in
the center of the city of Los Angeles.
Such an institution would soon be
known all over the land, and hundreds
who now refrain from coming here,
will come and spend months, If not
years, with us, who now do not come
for the reason above named. Now,
provided such encouragement as the
enterprise requires in its infancy can
be had from the citizens of this city,
it is proposed to establish an HYGIENE
Home in our midst. 1t should be sit
uAtCu dV q pOlAV 90 uCaA tlAC SChoSA VI
the town as to accommodate all classes
who may wish to patronize such an
institution - either strangers from
abroad, or citizens of the town. 1t
should be under the supervision of a
skillful, medical practitioner, of large
experience in the management of such
institutions, one who has taken a reg
ular degree, with good static assist
ants, etc. Such a Home to be supplied
with all the modern appliances, viz:
gymnasium, Swedish movement cure,
Turkish and electric baths, and all
remedial agents required for the re-
covery of the sick and the comfort and
benefit of all. Will you not, Mr.. Edi.
tor, through the medium of your valu-
able paper, whose columns are open to
do good, give not only this article an
insertion, but advocate the claims of
such an enterprise, and thereby confer
lasting blessing upon suffering hui
mainly. PRO Bono PUBLICO.

Shall We Celebrate =?

The question "Shall we celebrate ?"
is making its appearance with alarm
ing frequency in the columns of our
exchanges. We would take pleas
ure in exercising this annual spook at
once and forever, if the thing lay
within our power; but it does not, and
the query will continue to come up
during the months of May and June,
from year to year, so long as star
spangled banners fling their elds to
the dusty breeze, and until the God
dess of Liberty, having no further use
for the American Eagle, sells the old
fellow for fat goose or a late Spring
turkey. The fact is, WAsHINGToN's
Birthday and the Fourth of July do
not now yield the amount of patriot
ism they did half century ago. We
are liberty-loving people, but we
don't venerate the memory of the man
who refused crown, nor can We hear
as distinctly as we might the thrilling
tons which vibrated the air Of the
civilized world on the Fourth of July,
1776. That was an intense moment
the moment of nations birth-when
the gray-haired man, leaning from
the belfrey of the old church, saw the
little messenger-boy tiptoeing from
the ground far beneath, and heard in
his childish voice the message, "Ring."
It was enough. The youthful Future
spoke to the aged Past, and Liberty
and Equality trampled upon the pros
trate form of Tyranny and Oppression.
With upturned face the child shouted,
Ring" The old man caught the
sound, and barring his arm, swung the
the iron tongue back and forth, telling
the world in thunder tones that the
Declaration of Independence had re-
ccived the signatures of the Continent
tai Congress. 1t was glorious mo-
ment. The tones of that old bell still
thrill in the hearts Of liberty-lovers
everywhere, except in the land of lib
erty. With us it has come to be an
old story-an oft-told tale-and the
question, "Shall we celebrate the an
niversary of our national independ-
ence ?" is as often answered in the
negative as any other way. This in
difference means something. Can it
be that we no longer appreciate the
blessing, the coming of which was
heralded by the iron tongue Of that old
church bell

AFTER much trial and tribulation,
Visalia is about to connect herself by
railroad with the outside world. The
valley road now passes some miles to
the west of the town, and the people
want branch road. Several promi-
nent Visalians have interviewed STAN
FORD, and he gives them assurance
that he will do all he can, except build
ing the road himself, in the way of as
sisting them. The length of the road
is six and a half miles, and the total
cost of building it is estimated at 500
600. The Central Pacific will furnish
the rolling stock and operate the road
if desirable. The business men OF
Visalia are inclined to furnish the re-
quired sum and complete the road
within the next sixty days.

No PORTION of the State is better, if

seems not to have been aware of this
fact until it was pointed out to them
by the HERALD some weeks ago.
Since then they have Investigated for
themselves, and find our statements
fully borne out. Letters have been re-

For the benefit of the uninitiated,
the San Francisco Board of Supervi-
sors have defined the value of hands
at poker. We have not seen the ordi-
nance, and do not know that it would
make valuable adenda to Hoyle, but
quiet sort of man, who had watched
the progress of several little games of
"draw,n once told us that in his opin-
ion the strength of hand depended
greatly upon the nerve of the man
who sat behind it. He said he had on
several occasions seen emo pair" send
"threes' to the deck as easy as if it
had been a triton among the minnows.
How San Francisco's Supervisors got
over this popularity We don't know;
but as they never met anything yet
that they did not go over or under, we
presume they circumvented it in some
way.

true cause of this attemIt of AuZar to injure
