Last Friday, July 18th, had been fixed
by some of our modern prophets, as the
dav when all sublunary accounts were
TO be closed and the world and all the
inhabitants of the world were to under
90 the great change which was to mark
the end of time. Their faith in the
prediction was, we have no doubt,
strengthened by the temperature Of the
atmosphere which at the coolest places
was not less than 90. Towards even
ing the lightning flashed, the thunder
rolled aud the rains descended, but the
great expected change did not take
place. On the following morning, the
sun rose as usual and the fields. freshen'
ed by the nights showers, assumed
their wonted appearance. The birds
sang as usual, and people engaged in
their usual occupations. The predic-
lions of the overwise failed and now they
are carefully revising the calculations
which will, we kave no doubt. be found
defective at one point, and again they
will 90 out, with their corrected sheet,
preaching the day and date Of the enc
of the world.

Romney htelligencer: James Davis,
a farmer living 5 miles from Altamont,
Garrett county, hung himself with a
log-chain last Saturday night in the
attic of his house. He put log chain
around his neck, and fastening it TO the
beam. let himself fall. When he was
taken down, his head was nearly severed
from his body. The supposed cause Of
this rash act was, his wife has been sick
for a long time, and he has not been
able to do any work for the last eight
months, and has had no means oil sup
port. He leaves large family III des-
titute circumstances.

IMPoRTANT.- Our town council, we
suppose, have general health COM
mittee. If they have not, they should
have one Immediately. The first duty
of that committee should be to examine
carefully the water in the public wells.
We have known a large number OF dead
toads TO be taken from some of the
wells and the water TO become so i'm
pure as not to be fit for use for weeks.
1t is much better to examine in time
and if necessary to examine every few
weeks. These examinations may pre-
vent mach sickness and possibly many
deaths. We hope our mayor will bring
the subject to the attention Of the coun'
ell at once.

The Page Courier says: "a large
quantity Of real estate is advertised for
sale in this county at July court. Some
of it is valuable and desirable, and all
of it offers inducements to persons DC =
string to invest IN lands. For particu-
lars especial reference is made to the
printed hand bills"
An examination Of the Courier shows
that not one of these valuable farms
is advertised through the paper. Hand>
bills are very good for rery local adver.
Using, but what is twenty or thirty
hand bills posted at country stores and
black smith shops in comparison with
an advertisement inserted in a news
paper which is read by every prominent
business man of the county and by
hundreds outside Of the county? Pur-
chasers from abroad, who generally
have the money TO pay for land are not
in the habit Of riding over counties to
hunt up hand bills. Gentlemen in quest
Of lands frequently subscribe Tor papers,
in order to watch for the sale OF farms,
and here we have frequent calls for
copies OF the paper by parties seeking
investments of this kind. We have
known parties, who expected to bid on
land. to be disappointed because the
land was not advertised through the
county paper. We have placed sales
of this kind at rates so reasonable, that
trustees and commissioners cannot in
Justice to all parties refuse to advertise.
We furnish posters and give four in
serlions ofan usual sale advertisement
in the paper, oyer 1000 copies of which
are printed every week, for the small
sum of ten dollars. The Courier, we
have no doubt, gives as liberal terms,
and so long as the Trustees and Cons
missioners fail 10 advertise through the
paper, it is standing notice that Page
county wants no outside capital.

At our last county court Judge James
E. Stewart OF Page county presided at
the request Of Judge Calvert, who was
unavoidably detained by business en-
gagements elsewhere. Our court lasted
two days during which a misdemeanor
case was disposed Of aud all the routine
business of the term transacted. Our
bar were much pleased with Judge
Stewart and his way of conducting
business. He is always prompt and
courteous, and with such mannerism on
the bench as TO elicit the utmost respect
for him and his position. Judge Stewart
IS now upwards Of 60 years Of age but
he is as vigorous of mind and body as
most men of middle age. We were
glad TO hear him say that his general
health is as good as at any period of his
life. We wish him many years OF life
aud as much of it in the bench as he
may wish to enjoy in that capacity.

THE COURTS.
The Bill of Exceptions in the Case Of
William Poole and Joseph Font.
LUXURY OF THE LAW.
Benefit of a Legal Technically to
an Old Soldier.

On the 7th Of November 1877. William Poole and
Joseph Font convicted in the Court of General
Sessions of murder in the second degree for having
killed John Ryan in April preceding. and were SEN
fenced to State Prison for life. Their counsel. Mr.
William F. Howe, kind Of test case, sued out a
writ of and stay of proceedings and had them
kept at the Tombs. He did not. however, succeed in
having their bill Of exceptions signed and applied to
Judge Van Brnnt last August for mandamns com
peing the court in which the conviction was
secured to sign the bill. It then held that the
statute required the bill of exceptions in all criminal
cases TO be signed within ten days. From this de-
cision an appeal was taken to the General Term of
tine Supreme Court and when the matter came up in
this court yesterday, Mr.. Howe SAID that the poverty
of the prisoners alone prevented their obtaining he
bill of exceptions in statutory tie but that justice
demanded a review of their case. District Attorney
Phelps in opposition said that the witnesses were
now scattered and it was important in point of prac
tce that prisoners should not be allowed to delay
their appeals and then caprice bring them suit
themselves Judge Brady, after conference with his
associates, said they were of opinion the writ of
mandarnus directing the signing of the bill of
ceptions should issue, but that the must he
argued next term. and If any witnesses absent
their testimony, as given on the trial, should bo
announce that for the future criminal lawyers must
have their bills of exceptions settled within stau-
tory time apply for extension. On the dispo-
sition made OF their case being communicated to
the prisoners they highly elated. Their n
duct at the Tombs since their incarceration is said
to have been very excellent and to have won them
hosts Of sympathizing friends.
