Notice Under the Exemption Law.

Judge Pearson, of Harrisburg, has de-
cided a case involving the notice required
from debtor who elects to retain three
hundred dollars under the act cf 1871, ex-
empting personal property from levy and
sale and securing to the debtor the remain
der, either in land or money, to make up
the deficiency. All the property of Ephiram
Ney had been sold, on Il. ta.. and the day
after the seizure Ney served a written no
tice on the sheriff that he claimed the bene-
fit Of the exemption law. The appraisers
valued the personal property at S64 76,
which was returned to Ney reported that
the real estate could not be divided without
prejudice, and it was sold for S410. Mr.
Ney made claim to S235 u Of this fund
which, with the appraised value of his per-
sonal estate, S64 76, made $500. The main
point raised was, whether the notice served
upon the sheriff was sufficient to entitle
tie Nay to claim portion of the money in
Court-to take out his $500 of the real cs-
tate. The Court held that although it
was certainly itimated that the party must
express his determination to take land, If
capable Of division, and can only get his
money from the necessity of sale, because
it will not divide, yet the exact form or no
tice is not prescribed by the statute, nor is
it clearly set forth in the cases cited. Ifit
had been we may probably suppose it would
have been adhered to on the principle of
''stare decisis" More mature reflection
and the habit of society have caused re-
taxation Of what we might infer was in
tended 10y those earlier cases, though in
reality they all turned on other points. AS
general rule think that old law, like old
wine, is better than new, in this instance
the new is preferable. BY the notice served
in the present case the officer was fully ap-
prised of the defendants demand, and what
he claimed and desired. We find him ac-
cordingly selecting appraisers they valu,
ing the personal property selected by the
debtor, determining that the real estate
would not divide and fixing i'll value. The
notice given was fully understood and its
work as proved by the result. The court
directed the S235 24 to be paid to Ney as
claimed.

What Hampers Industry.

If now we reflect upon these facts-how
one large slice of the aggregate product of
industry is shorn off by the prodigality and
recklessness Of governments how another
large slice is shorn off by the criminal clas-
ses, directly to support themselves, and IN
directly to support those persons by whom
they are watched and guarded another
large slice by the droncs, who contribute,
nothing and take much and fourth by
those habitual vices which rendar Us unft

otherwise drawn around the roots Of whole

of society, which Is all it has to live upon
while creating new wealth, is diverted from
the process Of creation TO various destruc-
tive processes. Rewards Of labor that woud
have gone TO the creators are sucked into
the remorseless jaws Of the destroyers, and

Messrs. WEEKS POTTER, Wholesale Drug

Mt l have derived from the use OF SANfoRn's

20 years / have been afflicted with this very
troublesome complaint / have tried all inc
remedies that could find, but without mate
rial or permanent benefit. Last full the dis
ease had arrived at that state that must have
relief or die. The entire membranous system
had become so infamed, and the stomach 80
disordered, that II was a doubtful matter

prevent my entire restoration, but the benent
derive from It's daily use Is TO me invaluable,
and am hoping to be completely cured, and
at last arrive at O respectable old age.
III this statement or my case can be OF any
service to those afflicted as i have been, and
enable you to bring this remedy into more gen
eral use, especially on the Pacific coast where

note will be attained. Very truly yours.

crate prisona And yet this man is 50
conscious Of the ,rectitude q: his own
intentions and the justness On his cause
that he does not desire to be included in
an amnesty bill. The darkest spot in the
history of the rebellion was the treatment
of Union prisoners, bat we believe ma
jority of the Southern pecpls, and are
sure that very large majority of the
Confederate soldiers, condemn the action
of their leaders in that matter; and it is
folly for Davis, Hill and Others, to try
to justify or excuse them. There are
too many living witnesses Of the inhu-
man treatment of Union soldiers at An
dersonville and other prison pens for the
statements of Hill and Davis to be ac-
cepted Is true. For the sake OF peace
and harmony Union soldiers are willing
to make all necessary concessions and
forget and forgive all wrongs; but to ask
them to believe that it was the Federal in
stead of the Confederate authorities that
were responsible for the treatment OF
Union prisoners is asking too much even
for the Centennial year.
