After silence of many weeks l again
dip my pen that the readers OF the CoLUM-
BrAN may be made acquainted with some
of the doings of this quiet and staid COM
munity. Sensational or startling items are
very rare in this section-owing perhaps to
the fact that we have an industrious and
peaceable class Of people, and no gin shop
to manufacture crime, and destroy the
morals of our citizens and young people.
We certainly have a right to feel thankful
that we are free from this curse of all ours

The LoeIo OF TREATING The Altoona
Tribune discourses as follows on the subject
of treating" at is said that while par
ty of friends were making the rounds few
days ago of establishments where creature
comforts are kept in bottles and sold by the
glass, one man, whose turn it was to
''treat," led the crowd into furnishing
store and asked them what they would
have. One ordered a shirt collar, another
took cuffs, third asked for scarf pin,
which, it is to be presumed, he took
straight" but 1t is nevertheless related of
all the party that they felt rather sheepish.
1t is hard to understand why, unless they
held to the old fiction that good feeling
which moves one to spend money on his
friends can be expressed only by the pur-
chase Of liquor. Those who consume strong
drinks at bars or give them to other men
know very well that this fiction is exploded
thousands of times every day. Although a
man can sometimes indicate hospitable
feeling by inviting his friends to his house
or to his hotel and giving them wine, he
cannot crafty the same sentiment by rang.

The question of divorce just now is
much engaging public attention. The in
creasing number granted annually in the
various States of the Union, and the facili-
ty with which u divorce can be secured,
has led many persons to believe that the
laws bearing on the question are too loose.
Indiana has heretofore been the State
most abused for the laxity of its divorce
laws, but if Judge Elcock, of Philadelphia
is authority, divorce in Pennsylvania is
more easily obtained than in any other
State of the Union. As this is question
intimately associated with the social COM
pact, and one that goes down to the very
root and foundation of society, and is of
direct interest to every family in the COM
monwealth, we think it would be of inter-
est to give the views of the Judge men,
toned. Speaking of the facilities with
which divorce can be obtained in this
State, he says
"The most iniqutous clause is that
which makes desertion Of two years
sufficient ground for an absolute separa-
ton. II such desertions were in every
case malicious and deliberate, this period
might be long enough but as the law is
taken advantage Of, there are great oppor-
tunities for fraud. Suppose, for example,
a man tires of his wife and for any reason
is determined to be rid Of her, he can take
up his residence in Camden and by re-
naming away from and refusing to sup
port her for two years, goad her into
suing for a divorce and permit her to get a
decree without once making his appear
ance in court. Under the rules now in
force it is not necessary to make personal
service on the respondent. A publication
twice in any paper answers for all such
service, and, in my opinion, some OF these
days there will be startling array of ap-
peals from fraudulent divorces that have
been engineered through our courts. Per-
sons can leave here after residing in the
State year, go into an interior county,
begin proceedings, publish notice in an
obscure country paper, and get divorce
entirely unknown to their wives and I've
no doubt this has been done, and the
women kept from appealing by the stag
gering fact that they were divorced, prac-
tically helpless, and so in a position to be
controlled by finan cial considerations that
would be Intellectual if their wifehood had
not been destroyed. But the chief evil re-
mains to be mentioned. There is no room
for doubt that divorces for desertion are
commonly procured upon the agreement
OF the parties, Notwithstanding that the H.
bellant must swear that there is no collu-
sion with the respondent"

sustained their .difiiclht parts admirably.

the funeral were made, including wake.
The coffin was closed and taken to the
place of interment, where the service was
duly gone through, the coffin lowered and
the grave filled in. On returning home,
however, the relatives were amazed to
find the corpse of the old woman lying on
the bed upon which she had expired.
They had simply forgotten to put her in
the coffin. They took her TO the grave in a
cart, dug up the empty coffin, placed her
in it and eventually had her securely

Landlord ana Tenant.

The law of Pennsylvania defining the re-
lations of landlords and tenants is clearly
stated. When a tenant rents house from
year to year, running say from April l.,
1882, the three months notice to quit must
be given before April 1, 1888, or the tenants
can occupy the premises for another year.
But when the lease is for fixed, definite
period, an announcement of the expiration
OF the time is unnecessary. If the tenant
does not then remove the landlord may,
after Its expiration, give notice and proceed
under the act Of March 81, 1881.
