The Legal Status Of Married Women in
Pennsylvania.

In the Penn N2Hthiy for last month is a
clear and able article on this very interesting
and we may say important subject-the
eist Of which is in the following summing
up: a married woman is entitled to
maintenance by her husband during his
lifetime a right which she may enforce Of
ne neglect or refuse to provide for herself
and her children by making contracts for
necessaries, for which ne is liable. Upon
his death, she is entitled to common law
dover in real estate, after the payment Of
his debts IF he dies intestate, she may
have statutory dover, viz: One-third Of
the real estate, of which he died seized, for
life, and one-third of the personal estate
absolutely, in case he leave children, if not,
onc-half OF the personal estate, or in case
he has left will, she may elect between
taking the legacy therein contained or the
rights given her under the statute-and in
addition $500 of his estate for the support
Of herself and her children is exempted
from sale for the payment Of his debts. In
her own property she is entitled to free use
and enjoyment along with her husband and
holds it free from all liability for his debts;
she is also entitled to her separate earrings
when her intention to claim them Is filed
on record. Her property may be liable
for Judgment recovered against him for her
torts, or on Judgment against both on a
contract for necessaries entered into by her
self alone, if the husband has nothing on
which an execution may be had, and 1t Is
always liable for contracts entered into by
her before marriage. By trust for "her
separate use" either real or personal pro-
perty may be so settled that she shall re-
ceiye the income, but neither she nor~her
/ husband can have any control Of the estste,
nor shall it be liable for any of her debts
or engagements. But such a trust must
| be made during coveture or in immediate
contemplation of marriage, and and cannot
survive discoverture. We also find that
! the contracts Of married woman and any
agreement to bind her separate estate with
out her husbands consent, are absolutely
void except in certain cases. These are,
contracts for the repair or improvements OF
| her real estate, transfers OF stock OF raIl-
road companies or corporations created un-
der the laws of this State, checks and re-
ceipts to banks for money on deposit with
them. and contracts for the purchase OF
sewing machines. In case of her husband
neglecting or refusing to provide for her
she may become a fcme sole trader, and
thereby contract as though she were uu
married.

The Search for Charley Ross.

A correspondent Of the Boston Globe
gives an interesting account Of a recent visit
to the Ross family, in Germantown, and
describes the means that have been taken
to recover the lost boy. As the sympathy
with this distressed family is almost world
wide, the particulars given are Of general
interest The letter says:
The writer would say that he passed a
couple Of days with Mr. Ross, at his home
in Germantown, Il short time since, and would
like to inform the reading public that every
night and morning from that Christian family
feryent and earnest prayers are offered for
the return of the little lost boy" The days
are spent by the father in every effort that
promises the slightest degree Of success III
finding Charley. Letters arrive by the
dozen, some OF sympathy, some making in
quiries and some simply ridiculous. A let
ter arrived (Which the writer Of this arti-
Gle saw, written in German, from an APP
parently intelligent man, stating that II
bIr. Ross would take young hen that
had never had laid an egg, and cut it in
four pieces with knife that was new lay

Result Of Idieness.

\ generation ago, says a New York
correspondent. Gregory Dillon occupied
prominent place among the successful merch-
ants of New York He had laid bv com
Portable fortune, and WAS president of the
Immigrant Industrial Savings bnak, one Of
the strongest institutions Of the kind in
the country. Had Gregory Dillon been a
man Of small means it is not probable that
his son, Romaine Dillon, would now be
awaiting trial for murder. The father lefs
large estate, a considerable part of which
went to Romaiue. The son then fell into
the ways Of idleness, living at hotels, and
lounging about town instead OF earning his
own living. Having means to supply all
his needs he become arrogant in manner,
assumed an air of superiority, and made
himself extremely disagrecable to his
former friends He then grew irritable
and eccentric, taking ofense at the merest
trifes, and finally shot an estinable gentle
man dead in the Westminster Hotel for
walking in way he did not like Of
course the plea of insanity is set up, and 1t
is pretty certain to save, Romaine Dillon
from the gallows. But it will probably
take him to luantic asylum, where all
men Of his sort ought to be- The Dillon
family is one Of the most respectable in
New York, and it receives much sympathy
in the disgrace brought upon it by the act
Of an unworthy member. Gregory Dillon
was Il man Of the highest character. One
of his sons, John b. Dillon, lawyer of
some prominence, died in Ireland few
years ago.

The weather for week past has
been u succession of rain, sunshine,
heat and cold. During this time
we have had some beautiful! days,
which were improved by tourists III
visiting Mt. Washington.

tiscd TO carry passengers from any
point on the line, to Fabyap's, Mt.
Washington and return for half fare,
on and after Sept. 9th.

mont, passed through here, en- route

1t was well received and gave good
satisfaction.
The employees presented j. NJ.
French and wife with a silver water
set, on Thursday Aug. 81, and John
Lindsey and wife with a tea set on
Wednesday, Sept. -. The value of

Considerable excitement has been
created by the New York and Bos-
ton papers, on account of q certain
photosraphcrlocated nearthis place.
The crime for which he was arrest.
ed and taken to Lancaster, was none
other than being implicated in the
production of n photograph styled
by his adversary as obscene. The
simple fact that the fine imposed
was only $40. goes far to show that
the awfulness of the crime was not
so awful after all. On the first APP
pearance of the prosecutor after trl-
al, he was greeted with good old
fashioned bowling. The photo
grapher was received with cheers, a
hearty welcome and hand-shaking
from all. A paper was circulated
among his friends, including the
guests of the House, and $50 was
readily subscribed to defray all his
expenses, showing the drift of pub.
lie opinion to be in his favor. The
heavy blow aimed at the photo
grapher and the Fabyan House, is
surely rebounding with none of its
force or fury abated, and is telling
fearfully on the striker. In justice
to the public we are yours, &c.

days since a gentleman prominent
in the book trade wrote to him Mr..

Cumington, Mass, soliciting his
views on the subject, and to this
letter he has written a reply. Mr..
Bryant says in substance that, while
in his judgment Mr.. Tilden is much
the superior of the Republican can
didate as regards intellectual force,
executive ability, and political
experience, the Democratic party
is running so much i'll its old tracks
that it cannot be trusted. He would
like to vote for Mr.. Tilden, but the
policy Of the party which has taken
him for their standard-bearer is such
that he cannot conscientiously do so.
As things stand at present, there
fore, Mr.. Bryant will support the
Republican candidate and the Re-
