drawn from the concern, giving notice IN
the newspapers at the time of his retirement,
and therefore claimed that lac was ne. la

the court below sustained; bn. tie other
party appealed from the vcrdict on the
ground that such notice Was insufficient,
the law requiring express notice n order 10

reversed tic decision Of the lower court, and
in reviewing the case said that when an
ostensible partner retircs from fran lie IS
bound to advertise on the ground that per-

We experienced general break up in the
weather last week. For several days itwas
very mild, with steady rain, and the ice
and snow rapidly disappeared, causing the
small stream below town TO assume large
dimensions. The cutters were all ice-bound,
and considerable trouble was experienced
in opening them, the water flowing over the
pavements and finding its way into the eel
lars and low places. Saturday morning
there was sudden change in the atmos-
phere, about noon driving snow sto-m set
in and by night the wind was cold and raw,
with the mercury in thethermometer below
zero. At the preasent writing it is clear,
calm and cold, the ground being covered
with about an inch of soft, white snow.

The Altoona Tribune says: One Of the

indicted for selling hard cider. They were
convicted and sentenced to pay the fine inn
posed on violaters of our license laws. II is
thus established that hard cider is an intox-
icant, and that those who sell il do so at
their peril. Il has been quite generally be-
lieved up TO this time that cider was not con-
sidercd an Intoxicating drink in the eye of
the law. and the traffic therein has been a

court will doubtless have restraining in

Parties from the mountain report that
last weeks thaw induced the bears to come
ont Of their winter quarters. Ii has been
the custom, ever since the days of the first

ncighbors to see how they are getting along.
Sometimes it happens that he is put to seri-
Gus inconvenience by a sudden change of
front in the weather department but in
that case, when the frozen crust is too weak
to carry his bearship on foot, bruin converts
himself into bob-sled and glides along
with flying colors down the mountain slope
