Despite the complications OF the

equally remarkable in this respect.

been so strengthened recently thai |
Judge Wylie intends to throw

OBITUARY.
Marshal James Farley.

At Alton, Mexican Co., Pa, Thurs
day, June 8, 1882, the subject of this
notice hreathed his last at the early
nge of 81 years, II months, and l0days.
Death at any time is most unwel-
come guest, and his work is the cause
of woe and heart aches. And even as
ne follow the aged to their last place,
iHvofuntarily we regret chat the end
of life is SO soon. But in the case of a
young man, bright with the promise
of the strength ofyears, in full physical
and mental vigor, as was the deceased,
the regret is many fold, for it seems
that some hide0us nightmare has
possessed US, and that the stern reality
is nothing but q dream. Becoming
heated after fishing trip as he hurried
to catch Il train, which he missed, lie
sat down and YVES seized with chill.
On his return to his home at Alton he
was compelled to 60 to bed and in three
weeks died having been out but once
from the date of his first illness, and
then to go to the drug store for some
medicine for woman, who was very
low and who died in day or so there
after
The remains were brought to Ridg-
way on Friday, and on Saturday
morning, after the beautiful and inn
pressive services of the Episcopalian
church, at the residence of DR.. c. II.
Farley, father of the deceased, they
were followed by large coneourse of
people TO the new cemetery, where
after appropriate services the last that
was mortal of our friend of earlier years
was deposited In the Farley family

This, the last item on the pro-
gramme was also one of the best, if
not the best feature of the entertain
nent. Several new evolutiOns We're
introduced, IS forming triangle, fours
in circle, and the platoon movements.
A very neat scene was the movement
by platoous to the sides and centre of
the stage where they charged bayonets,
and went through the movements of
load, ready, aim, fire.
Miss Florence Osterh0ut, the accom-
p!ished Captain of the battalion, wore
in addition to the regular uniform,
an army officers cap with heavy
plume She carried in her hand a
heavy peacock feather duster, her
cross-belt, girdle and apron were
trimmed with gold, and on her shoul-
ders massive pair Of epaulets. In
stead Of remaining stationary at one
side of tic stage, as at the first presen-
tation of the broom drill, she marched
at the head and by the flank of the
company as occasion required, which
was great improvement. Miss Oster-
bout has perfect mastery of the com
mands and gives them in a clear, ring
ing toue OF voice. The Broom Battal-
ion may indeed well be proud of their
accomplished and worthy Captain.
The dress of the battalion was as at
the previous performance, with the
addition of the dust pan, which was
painted red and lettered "R. B. b.
However, as many may not have seen
the former description we will repeat
it here.
The members wore white dresses
with jaunty busting caps of red silesia
and red siesia cross-belts from right
shoulder to left side. The wide girdle
and apron also of red silesia with the
addition of the dust-pan fastened at
the left rear side completed the uni
form. The dust-pans were marked,
"R. B. B." which being translated
means Ridgway Broom Battalion.
The caps, cross-belts, and girdles were
pinked on the edges. The brooms
were trimmed with wide band of
red silesia around the sweep and with
two bows of the same material on the
handle, one at four inches from the
brush or sweep and the other four
inches from the epd Of The stick, The

667 we find:
A highway is simply an easemento or
servitude, carrying with it as its incl
dents, the right to use the soil for the
purpose of repair and improvement,
and, in cities, for the more, general
purposes of sewerage, the distribution
oflight and water, and the further
ance of public morality, health, trade,
and convenience. The owner of the
land retains the fee and all rights Of
property not incompatible with the
public enjoyment, such as the right TO
the herbage, the trees and fruit grow
ing thereon, or minerals below, and
may work mine, sink drain or eel
lar, or carry water in pipes beneath it.
And 7gein: on page 66S. Any act or
obstruction which unnecessarily incom-
mandes or impedes the lawful use of a
highway by the public, is u common
law nuisance.
In Purdons Digest we find page 1243
and l245:
The right of soil in q highway con-
tinues in the owner of the land; the
public have merely The right of pass
age.
While the public have the right to
pass and drepass along the public streets,
no person has the right to remain on
the foot pavement in frCnt Of II dwell
ing-house, after being requested to
leave by the owner.
In Barr, S37, the Supreme Court
decided: ..t
No principle is more famiiar or bet
ter settled, than that the right to the
soil of a highway resides in the pro-
prictor of the land over which it has
been laid and that the citizen has no
more than n license to pass along it
with carriages and cattle; an abuse of
which, like the abuse of any other
license given, not by the party, but by
the law, makes him trespasser,
against the proprietor, from the be-
ginning. 1t is unnecessary to go to
English decisions, or those in our
neighboring states for an application
of the principle to the misuse of n
highway, for we have ourselves APP
piled it to the landing of passengers
on the shores of river, itself a high
way, at the junction of a public road,
and making the spot temporary
harbour for the craft of n ferry. If q
nt 10
dure on it, or, any thing else as Of
fensive to family dwelling at the
wayside; or he might make the spot
resting place before their door for days
or for months The state has dedic-
ated her highways to no such uses,
and the citizen has right to enjoy
them only according to the intent.
But multiplying decisions of the
court will not change the principle in
all the cases that the public have but
the right Of passage in the highway.
And no Town Council or even the
Legislature itself can give the public
more titan that right without an in
fringement of the rights of individuals.
1t does not follow that because one
man is possessed Of a COW and another
man owns grass that the man with the
grass is any more compelled to sur
render it 10 the mau with the COW,
than has the other to give up his COW
to the man with the grass. The advo-
Gates Of the cows running at large
seems to argue that as you have grass
and no COW you must necessarily give
It to mS fof my COW as l have no grass.
Then as the grass to the middle of the
road belongs to you my COW has no
right to eat it any more than she
would to go into your field for the
same purpose.

The performance as whole was ex-

Miss Minnie Tcrwiliger did finely

manner.
The song Cows are in the Corn, !"
by little Johnnie Gatchell was well

audience by their generous applause
fully attested.

presented in an excellent manner and
