The Pennsylvania Military Academy
Burned.

The Pennsylvania military academy
at Chester was burned to the ground
last week, Thursday evening. The fire
originated in the laboratory, but from
what cause is unknown. The cadets
saved all of their personal effects, and all
Of the property of the state and govern
ment was saved, as was the greater por-
ton of the property of the academy, but
it was subsequently damaged by the rain
which commenced falling soon after
wards. The total loss is about 100000,
and the insurance about $4,000. The
cadets, l13 in number, were all supplied
with funds by Col. Hyatt, and a great
many of them left for their homes.

In Steuben county, New York, there
is an organized insurrection against the
Tax Collectors, the would-be purchasers
of property at collectors sales are sys
tematically boycotted and Governor Cor
nell has officially declared the town of
Greenwood to be in state of Insured
ton. The trouble arises out of the re-
fusal of the citizens to submit to taxes
levied by order of the Court to pay bonds
issued dozen years ago in aid of the
Rochester and Pine Greek Railroad
Ninety-five properties have been levied
on and advertised for sale, but the stall
wart yeomanry turn out with arms aud,
led by brass bands, so intimidate bidders
that the Sheriff can get no offers for the
lands. The whole performance bears so
strong a resemblance to ''home rule" and
"no rent that the spectators get very
good idea of the state of affairs ir Ire
land.

Landlord and Tenant.
NOTABLE CASE DECIDED TIE SECOND
TIME BY THE SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court has rendered an
interesting decision in the case of Auer
against Penn. In 1875 John Auer,
hotel proprietor at Philadelphia
became surety on written lease
for five years. Two years later the ten
ant moved out and claim was made
against Auer as surety. Auer defended
himself on the ground that the landlord
had accepted the key and released both
the tenant and the surety. The agent
for Mr. Penn, the landlord, however,
testified that the tenant. whose name
was Brown, moved out Of the house be-
fore notifying him of the moving, then
came to his office and asked him to take
the keys. The agent refused. A man
who came with Brown attempted to ex-
plain things, but the agent ordered him
not to interfere. Brown then threw the
keys on the desk and ran out with his
friend.
There were two jury trials, and twice
the case went TO the Supreme Court
The decision just rendered affirms the
decision of the lower court, and Auer
will have to pay several years rent, con-
siderable costs, witness fees and other
expenses. Justice Paxsou, who deliver
ed the opinion of the Court, says: ''No-
thing is better settled in Pennsylvania
than that a tenant for years cannot re-
lease himself from his liability under his
covenant to pay rent, by vacating the de-
missed premises during the term and
sending the key to the landlord The
latter may take the key, rent the house
and notify the tenant that he will hold
him for any loss. There is no proof in
this case that the landlord accepted the
surrender and released the tenant. On
the contrary, the proof is clear that he
declined to do so, and notified the de-
fendant that he would hold him for the
rent This he did every time lie sub
sequently rented the property. Yet it is
asserted that this renting raised pre-
sumption of release, but the burden of
proof is on party who seeks to be re-
leased from his covenant. The renting
of the premises, under the circumstances
in this case raises no such presumption.
1t was manifestly to the interest of the
tenant that the premises should be rent
ed, rs it would lessen the sum he would
have to pay"

BIG FIRE IN MASSACHUSETTS,.

Haverhill, Massachusetts, was visited
by terrible conAagration last Saturday
night which destroyed over sixty build
ings, most of them occupied by business
firms Two thousand people are out OF
employment and several families are
homeless. The loss is estimated at 49,.
100000. Several lives were lost.
Haverhill, the scene of this disastrous
conhagration, is a town of 10000 inhab
itants, at the head of navigation on the

Mrs. Scoville, the sister of Guiteau has
written very pathetic letter to Mrs
Garfield, in which she reiterates her be
lief in the insanity of her brother Mrs
Garfield has authorized friend to say
that towards the slayer of her husband
she oherishes no malice, he must answer
only to his God and the American peo
pie. For the sister and all the members
of his family she feels only profound
pity. Further than this she asks to be
left alone with her sorrow and to be
spared being dragged into useless and
torturing publicity. Mrs. Garfield will
not answer the letter.

The Fitz John Porter Case.

The Eitz John Porter case was again
under consideration in the cabinet, with
view of his possible reinstatement in
the army, but no conclusion was reached
1t is stated that the only legal way to at
ford the desired redress in this case is fol
the President to pardon General Porter
thus removing his present disqualification
from holding Office in the service of the
United States, and then restore him tC
his former place in the army by nomina
ton to the senate

day morning and several explosions oc-

Things appear to go by contraries in
this world. Guiteau insists upon it that
he was insane when he shot the Presi-
dent, and does not want to be punished
for his crime, and now young woman
turns up in Buffalo, in whose possession
q quantity of stolen goods were found,
and she pleaded guilty to the charge of
larceny. A commission was appointed
which found her insane, but she insists
positively that she is sane, and wants to
receive the full punishment of the law.
