IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS or
SECRET SOCIETIES.


An interesting case was sent to a
jury in the Common Pleas Court at
Scranton week before last, which in.
yolyed point of Importance to mem.
bcrs OF secret societies. In October,
1874, John Vaughn loaned Capouse
Lodge, /. o. Of o. f., of Hyde Park,
81 900 and felt secure in a Judgment
note for the amount from the trustees
of the Lodge, and obtained Judgment
upon il in Luzerne county. Subse.
quently the real estate OF the Lodge
was sold, and the money raised there.
by was exhausted before the Vaughn
Judgment was reached. Subsequently
Capouse Lodge surrendered its
charter and Mr. Vaughn died, and his
administrator began suit in assumpsit
against sixteen members of the Lodge.
The facts as stated above were not
brought into question, and the point
at issue turned solely upon the rights
Of plaintiffs to collect from individual
members the debts owing by the Lodge
The case was given TO the jury Satur.
day afternoon, and in his charge Judge
Handley held that the Lodge was a
co-partnership, and that the members
were liable for its debts. That al.
though a judgment had been obtained
in Luzerne county, ii had not been
satisfied, and q suit against the indi.
vidual members would lie. The jury
retired, and, after brief absence, re.
turned with a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, and against the members OF
the Lodge, in the sum of s1,322.24,
being the full claim Of the plaintiff.
Several othor claims against the Lodge
depend upon the verdict in this case.

Concerning the news from the Arctic
steamer Jeanette, sent ont by the New
York Herald, that paper says editorially:
Happily, the news of the loss Of the
Jeanette has one feature in it which
strikingly differs from the stories of Arc
tic calamitics in general. There is def
mite intelligence that more than two
thirds of the ships company reached
land safely, and there is fair reason to
believe that not soul was lost, if those
not in boats No. and 3 were in boat No.
2. Probably the ship had been beset in
ice through the winter near where she
was crushed, and it was the movement Of
its breaking up that destroyed her. In
due season We shall know the results OF
the exploration, and what addition the
voyage may make to our knowledge Of
the Arctic zone. Further details will
soon reach us. The kindly interest Rus
sia has manifested in the fate of the gal
liant heroes of the Jeanette, and the en-
erRetic efforts she is making to restore
them to the civilized world, will be ap
preciated by every American, and it is to
be hoped she will receive formal com
munication from the government of the
United States

COLTS FROZEN INTO The ICE.


When the water receded from the food
Of last spring, it left pond quarter of
a mile long next to the bluff east of Geo.
Mattison's mill and which still remains.
One day last week Mr.. Mattison missed
number of colts from his yard, and a
search failed to find them, till pext morn
ing, when news was brought that they
We're in the pond. Seven OF the colts
were found standing in about three feet
Of water, where they had waded the
night before, and sudden change in the
weather had caught them, the ice freez-
ing tight to their sides and holding them
as in vice. After breaking the ice
from around the colts, it was found that
it was not strong enough to bear their
weight, that to get them out channels
had to be made from each one to the
shore. Two of the colts will probably
die from freezing, while the others are
expected to come out all right.
