Something New.--At our late term of
court, as Judge Elwell was about to impose
sentence upon persons convicted of unlaw-
fully selling liquor, ]. II. Fulford, Esq, as
Attorney for Huston township, asked that
the fnes be awarded to the school boards of
the townships where the offences were com
nitted, instead of being paid into the
county treasury as heretofore, and his
Honor did SO, deciding that under the act
pf March S1st, 1856, the fines in such
iases, clearly belong to the school boards.
1t is strange that this act, SO important
b schools boards, had been lost sight Of,
ut since it has again been brought to
ght, we suppose that many more of the
Ilolators of the liquor law will be brought
grief than previously. CLARIFIED Jour

~>A Midnight Mystery. the hours
of eleven and twelve O'Clock, on last We'd
nesday night carriage drawn by two
horses stopped in front Of the entrance to
the graveyard north of Shermansdale.
From this carriage two men and one wom-
an alighted. One of the men then took
from the vehicle a small box about the size
of baby's coffin, while the other took out
q shovel and pick, and then the three
persons entered the enclosure. For a while
the strange visitors wandered around
among the graves, as though searching for
some particular one, and occasionally strik-
ing match to see to read the inscription
on stone. After spending probably fif-
ry search, the party came out and hurriedly
entered the carriage, taking the box and
tools with them. The horses heads were
then turned towards Carlisle, the direction
from which they had come, and were
driven rapidly away. AS they came out of
the yard our informant heard the woman
say, "well we must 90 to-what place he
did not understand-and if we don't hurry
it will be daylight before we get home"
This remark was evidence that the party
had some distance to travel, but what their
.errand could be, or what should cause such
a strange hour to be chosen for this trip is
a mystery that at present seems incom-
prehensible. Had the men not been ac-
companied by a woman, we should be in
clined to think it was an attempt to pro
cure subject" for surgical experiment,
but under the circumstances it seems more
likely that the persons wished to get rid of
a body, but why they should be so particu-
lar where they buried it we must confess
our inability to imagine.

The TrienniAl lAssessment.-Th Appeals
on the Triennial Assessment are to be held
in February and March. The Commissioners
in fit of wonderful economy, decline to
advertise the days when these Appeals are
to be held, except in three papers 1t
would seem to us that all persons whether
they take party papers or not are entitled
to notice of such Importance and to refuse
to give it all the publicity possible is a wrong
done to the taxpayers. When we take into
consideration the amount of money one of
the Commissioners has been allowed to
illegally draw as salary within the past two
years, and the money that has been cx-
pended on "big safe" and fancy poor
house, this action seems to us very much
like saving at the spiggot, while the bung
hole is left wide open. Perhaps, however,
the Commissioners are not desirous of hav-
ing these Appeals well attended, and SO
wish to keep the matter secret but as we
are more liberal than the Commissioners,
we will help give the matter publicity even
though not paid for SO doing. Our readers
will consequently find the notice in
another column, which they can cut out
for reference.
AS these petty attacks Of economy how
ever are never known to prove fatal, the
friends and relatives of the Commissioners
need not feel alarmed about them.

An Impudent Couple. The Altoona
Tribune says For some two or three weeks
past a man and woman, of middle age, and
rather respectfully dressed, have been pay
ing visits to different families on the east
side Of town for the purpose of praying and
singing. When admitted to the house
they generally remain about three days,
always waiting for the spirit to call them
to some other place to pray and sing.
They visited a lady on the outskirts Of the
city, who had just attired herself to go out.
Upon going to the door she was asked by
the man if they could come in and pray.
She informed them that she was about
going out, to be away for few hours.
Never mind said the missionary, Eliza (his
wife), and will keep house, and the lady,
through their impudence was forced to re-
main at home.
AT another place they called on Saturday
and remained till Monday. AT eleven
o'clock Eliza said Had we better not goP"
To which the male missionary replied /:
" Have you had call Eliza ?" 81 have
not had one yet" This settled it and the
couple staid for dinner.
These parties may not be impostsrs.
Yet it is strange that any of our people will
permit two persons, of whom they know
nothing, to remain in their homes for two
and three nights. Murders and robberies
have been committed in this way time and
again, and we would advise every one to
to give them ticket of leave whenever
they put in an appearance at their homes.
At all events they should be looked after,
and call from the police might be bene-
fetal.

Election Law.--The election law which
has been passed by the Legislature and is
general in its application to tho entire
State, makes some radical changes. The
polls must be kept open from a. m. TO z
D. IN. The result of the vote must be pub
licaly stated to those present out side of
window as soon as the returns are completed
and brief statement of the vote cast for
each candidate be made, and signed by the
election officers and posted up outside.
The meeting of the board of return judges
is done away with, but each judge living
within 19 miles of the County Seat, Tor "a
miles if on the line of a railroad), must de-
liver his return to the Prothonotary by 2
p. M, on the day after the election, and all
other judges must deliver their returns by
election. At that hour the court of Com
mon Pleas in each county shall convene
and the vote be computed under the in
spection of the Judge or Judges, and the
certificates of election, shall be issued
under seal of the court. In regard to the
spring election the following provision is
made:
Nothing in this act shall require the
returns of election of township or borough
officers to be made to the court, as directed
in this section, but all returns of the cleo
tion of township and borough officers shall
be incosed in a sealed cover directed to the
Prothonotary of the court of common pleas
of the proper county, and shall, by some
one of them, be delivered into his Office
within three days after every such election
and filed therein"
Next week we will publish the law in
full.

There has been a fair demand for fleece from the
manufacturers within the past few days, and prices
