noon, at o'clock, of dropsey. The
funeral took place on Monday after

her of the 2Sth Pa. volunteers, and in

A remarkable case in SANDER was
tried on Wednesday afternoon, before
Arbitrators at the Broad way House.
The case was smutty one, and we are
astonished that such cases are brought
before the public. Yet when persons
will insist in slanderin9 others we be-
lieve they should be punished to the
full extent of the law. In this case no
verdict was rendered up to writing, but
we believe the arbitrators will return
verdict of no cause of action.
Mr.. Tropp, butcher, of Weissport,
met with what might have been a seri-
Gus accident on Friday last. The facts
as near as we could learn them are as
follows: Mr.. 7. had driven to the l..
& S. depot for a friend, and while
waiting for the train an engine came
along which blew it's whistle, thereby
frightening the horse and causing it to
run away. The horse however did not
run far until it was stopped, but not
until it had torn lose from the wagon
and damaged the harness. Mr.. 7. sus-
tanned several injuries, but In no way
serious.
A tramp who gave his name as Nc
Donald, was arrested on Tuesday
night for stealing an overcoat and scarf
from the residence of Squire Frisbis,
belonging TO Mr.. Frisbie's father. The
tramp entered the house by the back
way, secured his booty and was not
disturbed till he got on High-st., when
he was captured and lodged in jail. This
was not forging note or stealing sew
eral hundred dollars worth of goods
and yet because he was tramp he was
put in prison, while those other gentle
men are as free as those who never
committee crime.
Mr.. e. Harlan, who died at his home
on Race street. on Thursday of last
week, was buried on Sunday afternoon
at 2 O'Clock. The funeral was very
large one, in fact the largest we ever
saw in Mauch Chunk. Four orders to
which Mr.. Harlan belonged followed
his remains to the grave, viz: Masons,
Odd Fellows, American Mechanics nd
knights of Honor. 1t seemed that
every man In town was in file so long
was the procession. The Masons per-
formed the ceremonies at the grave, at
the conclusion of which other orders
followed In file and dropped green
twigs into the grave. In the evening
Rev. Mr.. Wiggins, of the M. e. church,
preached the funeral sermon. The
church was crowded.
Last Saturday the Commissioners
met and resolved to put an end to lit
tie matter which has been in contempla-
zion for the last year, viz: to have the
bar In the Court house remoddled, in
order to give room to the lawyers en-
ployed In the various cases. The
change in the bar was greatly needed
and will keep all outside who are not
members and officers of the Court.
Heretofore when lawyer arose to ad-
dress the jury or even get a few sheets
of paper, some one with more brass
than modesty, took his chair and left
him tn stand or do the best he could.
In other counties no one is admitted
inside the bar unless member OF off,
Ger, and we think 1t should be so here,
IT is like every one loafng in another's
office.
"Murder will out" is an old aud true
saying. Our popular druggists, Hughes
aud MacCrea, for the last six weeks
were missing various articles from their
show case. They we're positive some
one was stealing their. goods, but who
the individual was, was a mystery to
them. For more than five weeks, ever
since the first missing of the goods,
have they been on the lookout for the
thief. 1t was not until Sunday night
at one O'Clock that the perpetrator was
detected and followed to his Office,
where he was about to begin his days
