SUNDAY FUNERALs,-Those unpleas-
ant gatherings are being canvasscd by clergymeu
in different parts Of the State. An exchange
says "some elergymen in Clarion county, like
Others Of their brethren in Meadyille and Belle
fonte, are decidedly opposed to Sunday funerals
There was much said on both sides of the ques-
tion by the reyerned gentlemen at Clarion two
weeks ago, but there was no formal decision. The
direct way out Of the difficulty would be to pre-
vent people from dying later in the week than
Thursday, and II these anti sunday funeral gen
tlemen would give instructions to the Almighty
to that effect they might solve the difficulty, and
in the future avoid desecrating the day" Why
blab about and over question that no mortal
can control, while there are so many other
wcghty questions unadjusted over which these
gentlemen have entire control.

A GREAT SHAME.-Wc were not
aware that number Of our nice young men were
indicted for riot until Thursday last, when we
happened TO enter the court room and saw two Of
them arraigned before jury. The evidence in
the case disclosed the fact that two or three more
should have taken seats by the side Of their "bui-
ties" The parties were convicted and in sub
stance were awarded position in the western
penitentiary for three years. We hope the lesson
will be treasured up by those who escaped on this
occasion, so that q similar fate is not awarded
them. II the fate OF these two rowdies has no ef-
feet upon those left, We cannot expect to enjoy
peace and safety in this community until the bal
ancc are arrested aud convicted for their insults
to peaceable citizens. The lecture of Judge 0ryis
to the guilty was excellent. If their "butties'
were present, let them heed the lesson.

SECOND WEEK.-Court called at 10
O'Clock on Monday morning. But few persons
were in attendance, and an adjournment was soon
ordered, because nobody was ready, and num-
Der Of jurors, clients and witnesses failed 10 re-
port. In the afternoon the list Ct jurors being
called over, Judge Mayer (whs presidcs this week.
called up the trial list, and not finding anybody
ready for trial, gave the lawyers and parties no.
tice iha, In the future he would not feel bound to
come here on Saturday, il no causes were to be
tried on Monday, II he was compelled to be
here on Saturday, In order 10 commence business
on Monday morning, he would sn,er non-sui,
in every ease in which the parties failed TO be
ready. We hope the court will be able to subju-
gate the tricks Of the lawyers, and in some way
take care Of the interest Of the taxpayers.
