AN NlMPoRTANT IRIAL.--A Land Case
Of more than ordinary importance We learn is to
be tried In Centre county next month, before his
Honor Judge Elwell Of Columbia county. Judge
Elwels great experience aud ability, especially
in cases Of this kind, seem to be recognized by
the legal profession throughout the State, as we
notice he Is chosen to try many leading cases.--
This case is set down for May 3D.. The city Of
Philadelphia is Plaintiff and Messrs. Smith,
Rhodes Smith are defendants. The attorneys
concerned are Messrs. blanchard, Beaver A Will
son Of the Centre county bar. Judge Linn OF
Lyconing, Senator Wallace Of Clearheid, and s.
H. Peale Of our bar. The question involves the
location Of certain lands mostly in Centre county,
which were long since devised to the city Of Phil
adolphia Tor the benefit OF the poor. As the great
mineral wealth Of the lands lying along the West
Branch river and its tributaries Is developed, the
titles to lands grow In significance, and our lead
ing lawyers are likely TO have something Of a
harvest before these questions become finally set
tied. The lands In dispute in this case are be-
lieved to bo very valuable as being Of this kind,
and the conclusion Of the case will be watched
with much interest Clinton DenocroL

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

The press, politicians and business
men of the Southern States are getting
worked up to n good deal of interest in
the speedy construction of their pro-
posed ra lroad through Texas to the Pa
cific coast, and their demand for govern
ment assistance to it threatens now to be
pressed with constantly increasing power
until, in some shape OF other, it is grant
ed. The case is thus compactly and Wig
orously put by Mr.. Frank S. Bond, the
able Vice-P President of the road, into
whose hands the practical management
of the enterprise has been placed.
The question of a Southern Pacific
road is a very simple proposition. 1t is
simply whether twelve Southern States,
with a population of IL, 500, 000, and an
area of 7S9,375 square miles, with 15,-
602 miles of railroad in operation, rep
resenting a capital account of 1923, 500,
223, shall have q direct connection with
Mexico and the Pacific coast, and shall
be permitted to enjoy the advantages
that her natural position will insure to
her with such a connection !; and it isfor
Southern Senators and members of the
next House to say whether OF not the
advantages of the Texas and Pacific rail
way line to the Pacific Ocean shall be
open to their constituents within the
next four years. They have only to say
they want it, and there are enough
Northern votes to give it them as an act
of simple. justice to the South. But il
will neve be- forced upon them against
their wishes.

Oar imperial Visitor.

The visit to the United States of the
Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro IL, is a
matter of much importance CONNER
cially, if the good results follow from ii
that we are led to expect. Brazil is the
most important part of South America.
In territory she is but little inferior to
the United States, and her resources are
as magnificent as her territorial dimen-
sions. 1t is very desirable that we estab-
lish close commercial relations with her
as she offers a splendid market for our
manufactures and agricultural products,
while she produces much that we must
buy abroad. There is a disposition on
the part of Brazilians to prefer to trade
with us rather than with Europe, and
we should encourage this by every rea-
sonable effort. New York, Baltimore
and New Orleans will be wonderfully
benefited by the transfer to them of a
large portion of the trade which now
goes to Liverpool and London, while
our merchant marine will be assisted
with a portion of the carrying trade. II
only requires a little tact and enterprise
to bring this about. Our iron and cot
ton manufactures arenow sharp competi-

An Octogenarian Community.

Garrard county, KY, says the New
York Tribune, must be the most octo-
genarian locality in the Union. Ra,
chel Garnett lives there, aged 104
years-a woman who remembers
to have seer Gen. Washington in
full r~egimentais. There are two
others-John Croucher and Aunt Polly
Pointer-who have reached 100 years
each. Then there is the Rev. Burdett
Kemper, SO, who has been minister of
the Baptist Church for sixty years. But
we haven't space for all the senile in
stances. We must content ourselves
with stating that in this remarkable
county there are thirty six persons whose
united ages amount to 3,061 years-an
average of 65 years and a fraction over
