taken IN the name Of the trustees, was
in fact attached to the discipline aud

merely the mexpired term Of the mem
Der whose retirement has caused the
vacancy, but full ten years dating from
the time Of election. There are, there
fore, occasional troubles about the mat
ter. Chief Justice Wallace was nomi-
mated for the long term Of ten years,
and Justice Crockett for the short term
of four years, in 1869. The Republic
can organ, the Alta. claims that Crock
ett's term expired seven months ago,
but no measures have until recently
been made to Gust him. The only at
tempt, 50 far, was highly ridiculous
and very disastrous to the lawyer who
attempted it. He was hare Drained
fellow Of the George Francis Train
order, Pickett by name. Az the Judges
of the court came IN 10 take their seats,
Mr. Pickett rose mp and sat down in
Justice Crockett's chair Chief JUS

the neck and asked WHO is this
that intrudes himself?" Mr. Pickett,
throwing one arm round the Chief Jus

Who is this man Crockett, who pre-
tends to act as JUDGE of the Supreme
Court OF Californian" The clerk in

Chief Justice, the latter announced
that Mr.. Pickett was guilty Of con-
tempt, and ordered that lie he elected
from the court and fined $500.

Rio Grande, ii necessary. into Texas.
The Governor represents that constant
Expectations are made by the Indians
from Mexico upon the peopleof Mexico
that many persons are murdered by
them, and great quantities OF property
are stolen and carried away; that the
forces Of the United States stationed

solutely necessary for Misrepresentation
that they should protect themselves.

MERCHANT TAILORING.

to dissolve our connection with the suits
that have done us so much services in

find consolation and q friend indeed in
our distress. Yea, a place where we
can safely put our trust-where there
is no need offear that we shall be cheat
ed, unsuited or Observation-Disclosures the
fabric is strong and the manufacture
superb where the prices are lust and
and the style all that can be desired.
There is a charm about an easy, glove
fitting, elastic suit, that is seen and OBJ
served by all men. "Where did you
get that superb suit of clothes?" "Where
did you secure such splendid fitting
garment?" is often asked. There are
many tailors, and number of them
are undoubtly fair samples of the genus
homo and also a credit to the craft; buS
how generally tailors fail in the fitting
of garments to the human form; how
often good piece of goods is spoiled in

in allowing a poor job to go out of his
shop, and he the wearer of It'll Perhaps
his lady love has even Tilted him in con-
sequence of his fOrlorn appearance.
| ''--Dress makes the man;
| The want Oft the fellow
Not that q man is less man for wear
ing plain clothes, but when he is "dress-
ed.up" he should indeed be dressed not
having his cloths hang like bags around
him, and wrinkled and distored in all
sorts of shapes, but tnat he should be
clad in fitting garments. Taste should
be shown both in the colOrs and make
up of his suit, Many high priced goods
are af such outlandish colors and styles
that mans character is judged by his
foolishly selecting those odd goods. A
man is known by the company he keeps,
and if he insists upon fraternizing with
ill-looking and ill-fitting clothes, he
will not make his "mark," as man of
taste, that's positive. To be looked up
on as possessing the requisite attain
ments of q tasty gentleman, he must
select cloths of suitable colors for his
clothing and have them made upin first
class style by Laury Sc Peters, (post
Office building), Lehighton, Pa, who
have a splendid stock to select from, and
where you will obtain that symmetry OF
fit so necessary to the adornment of the
person. Call and examine the most
beautiful assortment of cloths, cassmers
and vestngs, ever brought into Lehigh'

THE THEATRICAL SEASON, .
recently closed here, was not pecuniari-
ally a successful one, and 1t is TO be hop
ed that the charge of admission to places
of amusement will be reduced for the
coming season, which will largely in
crease the attendance and receipts at all
our theatres.
Theatre-goers are tired of war prices,
and feel that an ordinary play is not
worth one dollar to witness it, and con-
sequently only star performers draw
crowded houses. One reason for the
theatres not paying is accounted for by
the immense quantity of complimentary
tickets which are given out. There is
one of our theatres, whose audience part
of the year is one third dead heads,
and of course the proprietors must make
up for this loss.
