if.
w. W. Scott h Co.'S closing out sale was

I am sorry to learn that Geo. Savitz,

again come to grief, and now resides in
Northampton county Jail, just because of too
great fondness for turkey.

AS most of the witnesses to be subpoe.

exceed, those in the late Molly MaguirC

The Onoka Cornet Band, of East lIaucf

Bills to be introduced next Session.

Dropping into the office of our talented |
young friend, Hon. W. M. Rapsher, few |
days ago, we found him busily engaged in
the preparation of the following important
bills for introduction at the next session of
the Legislature, which meets at Harrisburg,
on Tuesday next, January 1st. The bills
are all of an important public character, and
we trust the hon. gentleman will be success
full in carrying them to final passage and
approval:
l. Supplement to "an act to authorize chat
tel mortgages in this commonwealth upon
lumber, iron and coal oil in bulk, and upon
iron tanks, tank cars, iron ore mined and
prepared for use, manufactured slate, and
canal boats, approved May Is, 1876" en-
larging the provisions of said act so as to
include other chattels.
2. "An act to establish more efficient sys-
tenn of civil authority to enable the sher-
ifs of the several counties of this common
wealth to invoke the posse cOmitdtits to
quell lawlessness and maintain the public
peace"
,. A supplement to " an act to prescribe the
manner by which the Court of Quarter
Sessions may change the boundaries of
election districts and townships, approved
May Is, 1876" altering certain sections of
said act.
4. An act providing for the payment of school
teachers while attending their respective
annual Co. Institutes of teachers through
out this Commonwealth.
8. An act fixing the time for holding cleo
tions for officers of cities, wards, boroughs,
townships, independent school districts,
or other municipalities in this Common
wealth.
6. An act to require the registers of wills and
the clerks of the Orphans courts of this
Commonwealth to record all bonds given
by executors, administrators, guardians
and trustees, which may be filed in theil
respective offices.
I. An act to facilitate the prompt collection
of taxes.
8. An act enlarging the rights and liabilitie;
of married women.
3. A supplement to an act entitled " an ac
10 provide for the erection Of poor hous,
and for the support of the poor in the sew
eral counties Of this Commonwealth, ap
proved May s, 1876"
The foregoing bills are of a general public
character having a wide application. Bill
No. is, however, of special interest to tn,
people at the lower end of Carbon county
since the project to establish a poor house i
under consideration. The act of May sth
1876, being defective and incomplete for ou
purpose without the proposed supplement
Bill No. 8, in regard to the rights of married
women, in short, is that married women ma,
hoid and enjoy their own separate estates
but if they make contracts, or sign notes o
other contracts, they shall be liable therein
the same as if they were unmarried. Thi
is no more than just and proper. The Law
should have been that way always. TIN

If the Legislature sits long enough to pas
them all, they will constitute no unimpor

WASHINGTON, DC, Dec. "a, 1877.
1t seems very dull now, after the rather
exciting time during the last two weeks
session of Congress. Up to the time of ad-
journment, Congress did not accomplish
much, except quarrel. Every Congress, like
every man, prefers to learn by its own ex-
perienee; and it is not surprising that trif-
ing away the early part of the session should
always leave this body pushed for time at
its close. 1t is hoped that, after the holidays,
the National Chunks will set regularly to
business, and really act as if they meant TO

In Baltimore the observance of Christ
mas were very undemonstrativo, a drizzling
rain having prevailed all day. Dispatches
from Toronto say the extraordinary mild
ness of the weather was taken advantage of
in various parts of the Dominion to indulge
in unreasonable festivities. There were re-
gattas at Belleville and Port Hope, and ex-
cursions by water and rail from Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal. No such winter has
been known there since 1887.
