The Attorney Genera, has addressed a
letter to ~Prothonotary Kooser, of this
county, in which he states that associate
judges are not entitled to and will not
hereafter receive any compensation for
services rendered at any other time or
place than in open court, and that even
there tle salary shall not exceed $500 per
nus This decision does away with
all Is for the hearing of writs, etc.
Under The new law which ~reorganizes
the State militia, all the companies will be
uniformed alike. The cloth will be dis
tribGted 10 the various regiments, and
each will have its own uniforms manu-
iactured. The law allows $500 TO each
company for the purpose. The uniforms
will be similar TO the L. s. fatigue uni
forms but will be better fitting and have q
more jaunty appearance.
