THE BIG TUBACCO CROP.

1t Dwindles Down to Small Proportions.
A week or two ago we copied from the
Norristown Register a paragraph relative
to Harry Gardner's tobacco crop. A cor
respondent from Drumore thus explodes
the marvellous story:
81 noticed in the daily INTELL1GENCER
of the 25th inst, that Mr.. Harry Gardner,
of Drumore township, had raised seven
acres of tobacco which he sold at twenty
cents around, thereby realizing six hun
dred dollars per acre. am not aware that
there ever had been, nor do I believe there
ever will be a seven acre lot of tobacco
raised that will average three thousand
pounds per acre. know whereof speak
when say that the tobacco raised by Mr..
Gardner was less than one-half acre, and
that it was sold to John Hildebrand, of
New Providence, for less than fifty dol
lars. A. H. Kaufman stands first as a
tobacco farmer in Drumore, selling his
crop of five acres for twenty-six cents
cents around, netting s2.76 DR.. ]. NJ.
Deaver comes in second receiving for six
acre lot 1878. The Pottstown cores
pondent of the Norristown Register must
have been celebrating the Fourth of July
when he wrote the above article.

liciously ibeled this court, as it says,
through "partisan malice". All we ask
is that it shall prove its charge to a jury.
We object to its evolving the fact out OF
its inner consciousness without evidence;
especially when it is necessary for it to so
find to get itself out of a scrape and save
its bacon to the judicial chair. If
we have committed an indictable
offence, We should be indicted and
convicted of it. 1t will then have been
proven, as the law requires it to be
proven, that we have been guilty Of
libel !; and then will the time come for
the court to determine whether our guilt
is such as to make us unworthy to be
members of the bar. But it cannot de-
eide this before our trial and conviction,
especially when the libel charged is
against it.; and that our counsel distinctly
argued to the court; but it was not con-
venient for it to remember the point in
the decision.

THE supreme court will in May adju-
dicate the question Of the relations of the
bar to the bench, and its decision will be
awaited with interest by every lawyer :;
for it is fair to say that there will be very
few lawyers at the bar if the opinion of
our court is maintained and rigidly en-
forced. 1t will enable a judge to disbar
every lawyer who speaks disparagingly of
him out of court criticism of the bench
by lawyers will be put an end to. But it
cannot be ended being encouraged by
the law. 1t may be, as the frienI,, CT the
court here suggest, that the s'1'.reme
court is in favorable frame .1;'l to
suppress liberty of speech amol - ers,
because of the severe rap i =. in b.
Gowen has lately given some e ,.-e mem
bers of the court in his testimony before
a congressional committee. But that
court has. not called Mr.. Gowen to ac-
count for this freedom of speech, as it
would have been not only its right but its
duty to do, if it had believed in Patter-
SON patent law.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE DRUMOkE SCHOOLS.
As Seen and Described by Aunt Bets,

As Seen and Described by Aunt Betsy.
The Drumore schools have all closed for
the season. On last Thursday we had the
pleasure of witnessing the closing exercises
of Oregon school, taught by Mr.. w. j.
McComb. They closed out in the form of
a lyceum, with Geo. s. McComb as presi-
dent, Mary Ann Stevenson as vice presi-
dent, Lena Pegan secretary, Fannie Ste
venson editress, and the teacher critic,
which was rather sinecure Office. The
question for debate was Resolued, That
war is a greater evil than intemperance.
The affirmative was represented by George
S. McComb, Fannie Stevenson and T. R..
Ankrim. The negative was handled by c..
E. J. Bradley, Mary Stevenson and Lena
NJ. Pegan. The writer of this article
has heard this question debated in
some of the crack lyceums in the lower
end, but considers that those school schol-
ars handled it better than any of them
The orations and essays were excellent, far
exceeding what might be expected from a
common school. After the exercises had
been concluded the children were made
happy by collation. prepared by Miss
Belle C. McComb. Right here 1 do not
think it amiss to say that seven years ago
this school was one of the poorest in the
township, and to-day it has no equal in
Drumore. This good work has been ac-
complished through the untiring exertions
of three first-class teachers who deserve
the highest praise that can be bestowed on
them. Their names are Miss Emma F.
Herr, of Quarryville, Miss Eva Stevenson
and w. ]. McComb, of Drumore Centre.
1t is feared that those reform directors
who were elected by the Republican party
will undo the good work that has been be-
gun.
AUNT BETSY,

JUDGE PATTERSON kindly offers us a
chance to apologize, if the supreme court
affirms his judgment. AS we do not have
the most remote conception of the possi-
bility of the happening of any such alb
surdity, we do not await its occurrence
to decline the accommodation with
thanks. If it could happen we would
not desire to belong to a bar so fettered.
But there is a contingency in which it
will give us pleasure to apologize to this
court and that will come whenever it
shall convince us that we have done it
injustice.
Wehave, as we have often said, made no
charge against the integrity of the court
by reason of its failure to inquire into the
release of Michael Snyder from the just
penalty of his admitted crime but we
will be justified in making that charge if
a court, which processes itself so sensi-
tive as to its honor as to call us to ac-
count because of its suspicion that we
have questioned it, fails to summon be-
fore it attorneys who admit to its face
that they have abused its confidence to
release lone of the best Republican
workers in the Eighth ward.'

Body Of Tramp Found in . Woods.
On Saturday afternoon the news came
to this city at late hour that the dead
body of a man had been found in the Con-
estoga creek, between this city and Wa
bank, near the residence of Henry Miller.
When the coroner was notified he empan-
nelled jury composed of s. G. Gensemer,
H. R. Mishler, Jacob Frankfort, Samuel
Resh, DR.. William Compton and George
C. Kieill, and securing an omnibus, he
drove them at once to the place where the
body was found. The corpse had been
brought to tho bank of the stream by Mr..
Charles, who found it, and it was placed
on the bank upon the arrival of the jury.
1t was decomposed to such an extent that
it was impossible to recognize it,
but the jury thought it was the
body of John Hiemenz, who had been
missing from his home in this city for
nearly five months. After a description
of the clothing of the deceased had been
taken by the jury, the hat and shoes were
removed. The body was then buried
along side Of the stream, and the jury
came back to town and went to the house
of Mrs. Neal, daughter of Mr.. Hiemenz,
on St. Joseph street. The shoes and hat
were shown to her and she Immediately
recognized them as those worn by her
father. The clothing were also described
to her and she was then positive that the
body was that of her father she stated
that he left her house sometime during the
month Of November, since which time he
had not been seen by any of the family.
At that time he was believed to be insane,
and he was seen in the neighborhood of
the place where his dead body was found,
by man who resides near the place. When
the body was found the hat was tied on with
a strong wash line, which was also tied
around his waist to the end of the line
was tied stone weighing at least 25
pounds. After hearing the testimony the
jury found that Mr.. Hiemenz came to his
death "by deliberately drowning himself,
he being of unsound mind" 1t is supposed
leaving home, and that the body has been
in the water since that time. MIR. Hiemenz
was about 70 years of age. He has wife
who recently moved away from this city.
Yesterday afternoon the body was brought
to town by order of Mrs. Neal, and it
was inferred in Woodward Hill cemetery.
A Tramp's Suicide.
On Saturday afternoon the dead body of
man who is supposed to have been tramp,
was found banging to tree in woods be-
tween Brunerville and Lexington, War
wick township. The body was greatly de-
composed and it is supposed to have been
hanging for two weeks. Deputy Coroner
Reidenbach held an inquest on the remains
and verdict of suicide was rendered. The
name of the man has not been learned as
there were NO papers found on the body,
which was brought to the city AMI inferred
at the almshouse, but it is said to be John

The New York Tobacco Journal is incou-
solable. It sees nothing but demoraliza-
ton, dishonesty and disaster among those
engaged in the trade. Following is its
crushing review of the market:
We allude to the state of the market and
to the doings of the week elsewhere.
1t tells the story of a demoralized mar
ket.
1t verifies our predictions.
1t is mute but unmistakable guide for
manufacturers and jobbers meditating upon
the purchase of '79 tobacco.
No '79 Pennsylvania having been sold as
yet, no market quotations exist.
Connecticut seconds of the 10 crop are
quoted at II to III cents.
Sales this week {:
Pennsylvania-Crop '78: 300 cases /;
wrappers, % to 81 cents filters II cents.
Connecticut-Crop rs: 16O cases wrap
pers, p. t.
Crop 10: 800 cases seconds, II to III
cents.
ohio-Crop '7s: 21s cases, running y
to 10 cents.
Havana-Active. Sales 600 bales, mostly
'79 stock. Fine filters sold as high as
$1.37.
The "allusions" of the Journal are to
certain reports of the sale of 1879 leaf,
said reports having no foundation in fact.
One of the reports is "a purchase of g..
600 cases of 10 Pennsylvania by A. Cohn
of Water street from DR.. Kendig and
Skiles & Frey, OF Lancaster. The Journal
says this is "A heinous fb. To a repor-
ter Mr.. Cohn stated that he had not
bought one pound of this tobacco at the
time stated, but that several thousand
cases of 70 Pennsylvania had been packed
for him by Lancaster parties early in the
season."
The Journal next publishes story to
the effect that A. s. Rosenbaum & Co., of
Water street, New York, have been ship
ping large quantities of new tobacco to
Lancaster, Pa, to be repacked there for
the purpose of palming it off at later period
to unsuspicious cigar manufacturers
as genuine Pennsylvania tobacco of the
'79 growth. Mr.. Rosenbaum was highly
indignant when the matter was brought
to his attention and questioned the right
of a tobacco trade paper to take any inter-
est in such affairs. Nevertheless, he ac-
knowledged the correctness of the fact
that he had bought a large quantity of
New York state tobacco and ordered the
same to be repacked at his warehouse in
Lancaster, claiming the locality, climate,
etc., to be more beneficial to tobacco in
than in this state. (?) Messrs.
]. s. Cans Son & Co., take more hope

us; ana III he cannot make IL appear, no
body will deny that he is fool to say it,
even if he says it only as a man and not
as 4 judge.
We have said that this opinion fails to
touch the marrow of the case. 1t in
dulges in a great deal of shambling talk
about the necessity of confidence between
the bench and the bar; and we agree to
it all and to much more that could have
been said, with forcible illustrations at
this bar, to the same point. The charac-
ter sof the court cannot be kept at too
high standard. The judges and the
lawyers should be without reproach. 1t
was our wish to aid this publication
which induced us to criticise the action
OF certain lawyers in the Snyder case and
to demand that the court should take no
tice Of it. They had, AZ we distinctly
charged, deceived the court into direct
ing the acquittal Of a guilty man because
he was one Of the best Republican work
ers in the Eighth ward
This remarkable court, which unani-
mously disbars US for saying, as it alleges,
that it was prevented from acting by
political considerations, has not to this
day acted in this matter or given any
reason for its failure to act. We think
we are safe in saying that the public
judgment is unanimous in declaring that
there should be an inquiry into the con-
duct Of these attorneys, and that they
should be punished IL the charge against
them is found to be true.
So are we willing to be, II we have ma
