The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1877-06-05
A Surprised Lawyer.

A few days ago, says the Baltimore News,
two elegantly attired ladies entered the
Office of prominent lawyer on Fayette
street, and looking round, as if expecting
other surroundings than green baize cover
ed, desks and volumes in law calf, enquired
timidly "Is this a laundry Officer"
The attorney, supposing she had said
lawyers Office, replied "Yes, madam"
and having asked the ladies to be seated,
drew his chair up Beside them, expecting
to hear the points of first class case.
The ladies were. encouraged by his cour-
tesy, and one opened her satchel and drew
forth what the lawyer supposed to be
bundle OF valuable family documents; be
put out his hand to assist her to extricate
it from the bag. His face fairly beamed
with expectancy as he drew forth one end
of the treasure, the lads holding on to the
other end, and he was about to PROFOUND a
leading question, when the bundle unroled,
disclosing a bifurcated garment, richly
trimmed with laces, pointing to which the
lady eagerly asked "Will this do up9'
the lawyer gazed with horror from his
branch Of the garment to that held by the
lady, and stammered out confusedly,
"Madam, you have made mistake this
is law office, not laundry" Both
started to their feet, still grasping to the
contents Of the bag, the other lady looking
on ip dismay, and the tableau was com
plete. r a
Mutual explanations followed aud the
ladies withdrew.

Not long since Mr.. Charles Halett,
mill owner of Riverhcad, L. l., directed
his son Carl, pupil Of tho Union Free
School of that town, not to declaim when
ordered to do SO by his teacher, For this
refusal young Hallett was expelled, and the
Board of Education confirmed and approx
cd tho action of the principal in expelling
him. MIR. Hallett then sued the Board of
Education, and the case, which was recent
" decided by Justice Pratt of the Supreme
Court and jury, has excited considerable
attention because of the important educa-
tional principle involved. Mr.. HalIett,
who expressly instructed his counsel not to
press for damages, but simply to get
decision on the question of law, claimed
that he had right TO say whether his son
should, or should not, be instructed in
certain studies, provided they are not in
cluded in the statutory list
In his charge to the jury Justice Pratt
took the ground that the parent, knowing
the temperament and capacity Of the child,
had the undoubted right to prescribe what
he should and what he should not study,
so long as he did not interfere with the
statutory list. Hence, when the principal,
with the approval of the Board of Eduoa-
tion, expelled young Hallett, he exceeded
his authority, Still, both the board and
the principal acted in good faith, supposing
that they were authorized to carry out
what was thought to be a beneficial rule
The charge continues "I am con-
strained to hold the law to be that, where
there is an irreconcilable difference of
opinion between the teacher-or the Board
of Trustees--and the parent, in regard to
a study which is not included among those
that the trustees are empowered to pre-
scribe, the will of the parent must control
think that the law has not taken away
the natural right of the parent to control
the education of the child in that regard.
When the teacher or the trustees under
take to say that child shall pursue a
particular STUDY which is not included in
the statutory list of studies, think they
exceed their authority. And when that is
made the basis of an attempt to deprive
the child of its right to attend school aud
enjoy the benefits which arise from the
laying of a common burden upon the COM
munity, l hold that they are liable
technically liable-for the act"
The jury awarded nominal damages to
MIR. Hallett. This was considered a test
case, and the rulings of Justice Pratt are
sustained by decisions in other States.

"What every body says must be true

The incontrovertible testimony offered
by those who have used DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription induced the doctor to
sell it under positive guarantee. Many
ladies have refrained from using it on
account of general feeling of prejudice
against advertised medicines. Let me ask
question. Are you prejudiced against
sewing machines because you have seen
them advertised? or can YOU doubt the
ingenuity and skill required in their in
vention? Again, would you refuse to
insure your house because the company
advertised that it had paid millions in
losses and yet had a capital of several
millions? Do such advertisements shake
your confidence, and create prejudices?
Then why refuse to credit the testimony of
those who have found the Fav6rite Prescrip-
tion to be all that is claimed for it in over
coming those ailments peculiar to your
sex? Why submit to the use of harsh,
and perhaps caustic treatment, thus
aggravating your malady when relief is
guaranteed, and positive, perfect, and
permanent cure has been effected in thou
sands of cases?
Wabash Station, ILL.,, October Gath, 1875.
r. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir-Allow me to extend my most
sincere thanks to you for the great benefit
my wife has received from the use of your
Favorite Prescription. She suffered almost
intolerably before using your medicine,
and had tried the skill of several physi-
clans but to no purpose. Finally, thought
l would give the Favorite Prescription a
trial, and she is now sound and well.
Very gratefully yours, d. A. HUNTER.

Speaking Of the Republican
party, lions Herald says it
" simply holds together by its
traditions and the facination of
public Office. These bonds are
weak, and they are now con-
stantly being ruptured. The
party is, consequently, democrat
lied. In our State the party,
having deliberately trampled
upon the moral sentiments of a
large body of its adherents, has
but faint grasp upon it's con-
stituents. It is in the condition
now to crystalize, at any mo-
ment, around any substantial
truth vital to the well-being of
the Commonwealth or country"
There is, says the Boston Post,
much solid truth in these re-
marks, very plainly spoken; and
if Zion's Herald will only pur-
sue to it's conclusion the line of
practical thought on which its
article enters it will easily de-
monstrate the fact that Demo
cratic principles are the only
principles left for these honest
Republicans to ''crystallize
about.

" department of agriculture at
Washington, was never meant to
be useful-that its purpose is
merely ornamental-and "that
the seeds it distributes are gen.
orally not worth propagating
and the books not worth read
ing, but that is sufficiently &C.
counted for by the fact that it
takes the department two or
three years to get around to any
thing new, by which time it has
been already tested by individ
