been whispered about the Glob' Mutual Insnr-

that it stands on u solid foundation There are
many persons in this county holding policies in

word Of advice. D. not pay any more premi-
ums on your policy to the Receiver, or any one
else, as it cannot make mittcrs b.tter. Do not
employ private counsel to look after your divi-
dend, as The fees would be larger than the divi
dcnd. Your policy can be transferred to the

terms and it will be to the interest of all Cent?

The Danvile Inteliigencer says that the evil
of excessive rum drinking in that place is ap-
pall,ng and ascribes as a reason for IT, the want
{ circumspection in the courts in granting Ii
censes. The law explicitly declares that before
an applicant shall secure license he must
show that he has a domcle Of suitable dimen-
sions u accommodate travellers &C." The wri-
ter then intmates that applicants are not re-
quired to live up to this provision If the law,
and licenses are granted prom iscuously. The
Iateliqenccr either never knew, or else has for
eottel that courts are bound by the record.
The election of Judges does not relieve the citi-
zen from all duty and responsibility. The law
provides Tor the licensing Of drinking places,
and it is the duty Of the court to see that the law
is faithfully carried out, but irregularities must
be brought to the notice of the court All pc
titions must set forth that the applicants has
suitable Recommendations, and is a man of good
meal character. Any petition that fails TO
set out the facts will not be considered by
cunrt. The applicant must also give bond
providing for the payment of penalty if he
violates the law. 1t is the duty of the court to
see that the petition is in legal form. 1t is the
duty of citizen. to inform the court by legal ev-
iience If the facts in the petition are untrue, and
to report any one who violates tle law after
he has obtained Il license 1t is the special dn-
ty Of con-tibleS to report any VIOLA ton OF the
liuuor law. If citizens and officers fail 10 do
| their duy it is no fault Of the courts. Accor-
| ding to the Itelige tcer the judges of the COM
monweatil SHOULD count the beds in every no.
tsl, and interview each applicant "a TO his NOR
| al character, before granting license, prop
osition equally absurd and impossible. Tue
law goes further and requires that all applica-
tons for licenses snail be published for three
weeks before the application is made. This is
| inten led to give citizens notice of the parties
who intend TO apply, 30 at if the applicants
are not proper persons for the business, and
| have no suitable accommodations, citizens may
be prepared to inform the court 10 that effect
| New places are never licensed until they are
proven to be necessary for the travelling pub
lic Ii the editor of the InteiIigencer, and 9TH
er grumblers, would spend their time in get
ting evidence to satisfy the courts that certair
places and persons ought not TO be licensed, in
stead of att empting 10 cast responsibility ol
the judges that the law clearly imposes on citi
zans it would be much more to their credit.

The GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE AGE
Farmers are invited to call at Huber's Foun-
dr., Danville. Pa, or on the Agents and ex-
anime the improvement in Plows over the old
style of fastening the shares with bolts. In the
old style the bolts would become loose, the
shares would work and as the entire bearing of
the share would he on the mould board the
Plow would always be loose the bolts would
rust fast, rendering it quitediticut to screw the
bolts up. In the improvement all this is over
come, having lug on the back part Of the
share which fits into slot of the mould board
part Of the share. A lock ON the land side fit.
ting into the beam, and two bolts through the
land side is all that is required to make it the
mos, complete ARA cement for fastening on the
share ever yet discovered. The strength of the
share is greater because of its bearing being
more divided, the Plow is stronger and the
share cannot work loose. Farmers who have
seen it pronounce it the beat arrangement they
have ever known. To be convinced of this,
call and judge for yourself.
