the Fox Chase at NeH.vilie.


The fox chase which took place at Elem.
ing's hotel, Neffsville, yesterday, was very
largely attended by professional hunters
and others. There were about 4 score of
mounted men and forty hounds in tho
chase. The fox, strong and fleet run
ner, gave the huntsmen and hounds as fine
4 run as conld be desired. but was finally
Overtaken and killed. Jacob Rutter, Of
Intercourse. secured the "brusl," but
had the misfortune to be badly bitten in
the thumb by tho fox.
Messrs. Rutter and Bair, from Inter-
course, had % hounds (only portion of
their pack), Kaufman and others had Is
which made 4 pack of 40. At o'clock
Rutter came into the crowd with beauti.
full red fox and made his way to-
wards all open LOT across the way, where,
amid the screams of the men and BOYS.
Reynard was set free. In defiance of the
large crowd that followed he waved his
long bushy tail in the air until he was lost
to sight. Fifteen minutes start was al
lowed him. When tho hounds were let
loose they Immediately took the trail and
without losing it once poor Reynard
was overtaken and killed, after three
milo run, in the lawn ut Mr.. D. P. Locher's
farm on the Lititz turnpike. Rutter
being first in at the death secured the
brush, and his dog "Saylor" was
awarded s. premium for first dog at tho
death. The hunt was followed by about
twenty horsemen, and many private con-
veyances, occupied by some of our best
known citizens, who seemed delighted
with the sport.

case had been decided adversely by one of

TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. %. 1882
Probably Premature.

a committee of the Pittsburgh bar, in
presenting to the Republicans of the
state A. II. Brown, esq, as candidate
for the supreme judge nomination of the
Republican party, call attention to the
fact that with the retirement Of the
present chief justice, there is lost to the
citizens of the common wealth the ser
vices of judge of long experience upon
the common pleas bench and the supreme
bench, of extensive and varied attain
ments, Of liberal culture, and sound rep
utation as jurist. Distinguished
equally as an author and in the practical
administration of justice, his place will
he difficult to fill.' The bar of Pitts
burgh is already represented by
Judge Sterrett on the supreme
bench of the state, while the much
larger bar and legal interests of
Philadelphia would have only one
representative left in the event Of Judge
Sharswood's retirement, and the failure
to succeed him with a Philadelphian.
The tribute which this circular pays to
Chief Justice SharswOod's s eminent judi
cial qualities is only what they deserve,
but it comes gracefully from his politi-
Cal opponents. 1t is to be observed, how
ever, that the assumption of Justice
Sharswood's retirement in this and
other demonstrations of the pending
political campaign, are made without
any warrant of an avOwed intention on
his part To retire. 1t has somehow been
taken for granted by both parties-by
their politicians at least-that Judge
SharswOod will retire. He has made no
sign to this effect. and rs he is under
stood to be in better health now than for
some time past, it may be that he has
no such intention. True, he could not
reasonably expect to Outlive another
term of twenty-One years, but he might
consider that likelihood no bar to his
entering upon ten or fifteen years of ser
vice. Judge Agnew, it will be remem-
bered, was quite willing to take another
term and ielt badly treated that it was
not conceded to him. While the Demo.
cratic party seems, too, to have assumed
that Justice SharswoOd is anxious to re.
tire, any intimatiOn from him that he is
desirous or willing to take another nOmi-
nation would clear the field of all as.
pirants for the place. 1t may not be too
early to have an understanding on this
subject. Probably even Mr.. Browns
friends would feel like withholding his
candidacy in the event that they find
themselves mistaken as to Chief Justice
Sharswood's impending retirement

Is 1t a CatspaN I.

1t WAS very tOuching-that siuabble
in the Republican county committee yes
terday over Judge Livingston and his
candidacy for the supreme bench. 1t
would be much more gratifying no doubt,
to Judge Livingston to think that the
move to secure his nomination is due to
an appreciation of his eminent fitness for
the supreme bench, and not to desire of
the factions to trade upon his supposed
local popularity and TO serve some selfish
end thereby. They have shown this dis
position in the past so strongly as to
naturally excite such :, suspicion of their
present movements. lie himself has
felt called upon to condemn and snub the
pretensions of one of the factions to the
stronger Claim upon him, and since then
the other has shown Il fervent desire
to sun itself in the beams OF
his favor. The Ner Eto faction quite
naturally looked upon the performance
in the county committee yesterday as
bold but shrcwd flank movement, under
cover of Judge Livingstons . name, TO
prevent the defeat of Beaver by Butler
in vote on popular gubernatorial i'll
structions in this county. 1t has served
that purpose and no doubt had tina:
purpose in view. J. W. Johnson, uf
course, told the trutli-for omce-wieM
he said he was for Butler frs; and after
that for Livingston he might have
.,I<1,,,l thn{ !,o f,,. Ii,
fore Butler. The claim of the
pretended extra ,serviceable friends o;
Livingston that they can serve
him best by taking UP dele.
cation in his interest exclusively and
trading it off with candidates for other
Offices, is the trick of the politician. It
would be more seeming i! invoked in
behalf of some other than \ judicial
nomination. The example of the way in
which Chris Magee euchred Judge
Agnew out of his merited denomination
is not the worthiest to set before dele
gates who are g instructed to use all
honorable means to secure / nomina-
ton that is asked for on the grounds of
spotiess integrity judicial attain
ments and eminent fitness, rather than
on the trading capital Of eight delegates
JUDGE TRJNkEY Is one of the Judges
of the state supreme court who weighs
more than some of his associates He
and Judge SharswOod, when they stand
together, are a minority only in num-
berS. lie files dissenting opinion in
the legislative salary case which will
command general respect. Although
his learned brethren differ widely from
him, the popular approval is with his
judgment but he is high removed
above the suspicion of being in
iuenced by any unworthy desire
to secure popular approval of his
judicial acts. This last remarkable
illustration of how judges disagree will
have a tendency to further shake the con-
fdence of lawyers in the judgment OF
their court of last resort. There is no
longer any security that the determina-
tion of what is the law will remain fixed
longer than the next election. After
awhile the state reports will be valuable
chiefly to show how little the court knows
itself.

Mr.. BLAINE is promptly taken to task
by Gen. Rosecrans for his misapprehen-
sion of the condition of the Army of
Cumberland when Gen. Garfield became
chief of Rosecrans's staff. The general
is, of course, better qualified to know
the facts than the politician, and the
public will so assume. Some captious
critics of Mr.. Blaine's address find fault
with it as being too much of common
place biography, with not enough dis.
play of original genius for eulogy. Mr..
Blaine's deliverance, We judge, is to be
measured by what has been heretofore
known of his ability and fitness for such
task as was committed to him, The
Sun is disposed to find fault with him for
not having departed from the conven-
tional proprieties. While this is sur
prising in Mr.. Blaine, it is none the less
creditable to him. He deserves praise
more for what he did not say than for
what he did and altogether he is re-
ceiving the praise he deserves.

The Pittsburg Leadm Of yesterday has the
following to say abb. couple OF gentle
nights during the spring meeting here, two
or three weeks ago:
In a LAWYERS office yesterday young
woman of more than ordinary proposes
ing appearance, but whose name for obvious
reasons will not be mentioned, told the fol-
lowing story with the view of bringing suit:
She had been engaged as clerk in large
confectionery establishment OF this city Tor
some time. A son OF the proprietor
conceived a scheme of taking a small
entertainment 1.-THE Rhoda Mystery on
a tour through neighboring towns. he
engaged the young lady and another 10 act
as the figures of the mystery, and, nav
ing procured the other essentials TO the
show, the party went to youngstown, VI,
where they gave an exhibition. The hrst
night of their stay there, says the young
lady, the young man entered her room anu
forced her 10 comply with his evil wishes.
For long time after that, as they Travelled
together. they were daily, or nightly very
intimate. In Wheeling, however, he left
her penniless, with board bill due against
them in the sum OF twenty-one dollars ana
her salary unpaid for several weeks. Her
trunk was attached, and she had great diff
Guilty in reaching this city. She desired to
bring suit against him, as stated to recover
her unpaid salary and expenses, but the
counsel who took some pans TO inquire
into the matter and discovered that the
girl had hitherto borne an excellent repu-
fation and too, that she was without funds
advised the yonng woman of the folly OF
bringing suit against him at present on the
grounds spoken, and the case was dropped,
for the time being, at least.
