The examination of witnesses il
the Thaxton case was resumed lasI
Wednesday. Mr.. CARROT testified
that the man with whom he wie>.
tied on the night of the burglary
had thick llair growing low down
on his neck, and that frual ii bite
on his finger he judged the
man had one tooth missing. 1t was
proved that Thaxton in some degree
answered this description. Captain
Carcuff's testimony brought out
nothing new. The case was con-
tinued till next Wednesday, when
another witness for the State from
Logan county will be examined.

Inspecting Medical Colleges.

During the Easter recess the mem
bers of the Judiciary general committee
of the house were not idle. They met
at the Girard house, Phila,, Mondsy
morning, and registered as follows !:
Furth, Abbott and Hall, of Philadel-
phia Snyder, of Bucks county; Van
derslice and Bryson of Columbia (;
Green, of Berks Mcnamara, of Bed
ford Evans of Northampton Gahan,
of Lyooming; Hines, of Luzerne (;
Niles of Tioga Thompson, of Dau-
phin; Van Kirk of Washington, Col
born, of Somerset, and McReynolds, of
Bucks. The object of the committees
visit to Philadelphia was to inspect the
medical colleges and examine the dis
secting rooms, with the purpose of as
certaining the actual demand for bod
les for dissection. An invitation was
extended to them bya committee of
physicians, consisting of Drs. Hunter,
Mears, Brinton and Keen, and the OBJ
ject is to point out to the Legislators the
necessity for the passage of the anato-
my bill now before the house.
The committee first visited Jeffer-
son college and were ushered into the
disseotingroom, Here several subjects
in various stages of dissection were
showa by DR., Forbes, the demonstrator
of anatomy. The laboratory and pick
ling vault were also inspected, and va
rious arguments informally used by
members of the faculty in favor of the
anatomy bill. After the college proper
had been gone over the committee ad-
journed to the hospital and were shown
over the building The perfect ar
rangemeuts found in every portion of
both college and hospital were heartily
commended by the legislators, and the
inspection closed with an expression of
entire satisfaction at the excellent man.
agement and cheerful appearance of
of the institution. The committee sub
sequently visited the University, the
Hahneman college, and the Woman's
medical college.

The Festival Of Easter,

After period of mourning the
church has put off its sack cloth and
ashes, and on Sunday last it attired
itself in the spring flowers of rejoicing.
The whole religious world was glad
over the celebration of the oonsumma-
tion of Chrst's mission OH earth. The
event is of equal Importance with any
that is commemorated in the Christian
year because the rising of the Son of
Man proved TO his waiting, hopeful,
yet uncertain disciples his supremacy
over death and consequently his divin-
ity. The church custom of the obser-
vance of the day is pretty appropri.
ate one. The sudden change from the
solemn lenten music and the subdued
surroundings to the gay floral adorn
ments and the happy joyous hymns
and chants is correctly indicative of
the quick thrill of hope and joy that
filled the hearts of the perplexed yet
faithful followers of Christ when they
heard Mary Magdalen's wonderful sto
ry.
The floral decorations of the church
es which are usually elaborated at this
season are also peculiarly appropriate
The beautiful flowers die in the fall
only TO return again when the spring
comes. Their death and revival are
kind natures evidence of the suprema-
cy of life over the grave and of the
certainty of future existence Thus
in the churches the evidence of nature
is added to the teaching of the new
testament as should be properly done,
for science has as yet been unable to
make the former contradict the latter.
Outside of its religious aspect, Eas
ter marks the beginning of new so
cial season. Society is stirred with
new life. The women forsake the so
Der garments of winter and don their
gayest aud brightest attire in anticipa-
tion of the coming of warmer days and
pleasant weather. Easter cast no
gloom upon such hopes. The sky was
clear and the warm sunlight tempered
a cool breeze so as to make the air de-
lightful. Even the tickle weather seem
ed to testify its appreciation of the sea

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BIOOMsBURG COLUMBIA



Oliver E. Lyman, In the April number of
the Popular Science Month,y, treats "Thc Le-
gal Status Of Servant Girls" 1t is not often
that domestics find consideration in a scien-
tifc publication, and II will not be amiss to
refer to few of the legal propositions set
forth In this article, dealing of course with
the modern aspects of the question. The
relation Of mistress or master is ono Of the
contract, and the two parties are on an
equal footing as to rights. They differ only
In what they agree to do--one is to work
and the other is to pay.
The party hiring is not bound to provide
n servant with medical attendance or medi-
cine in case of sickness. II he does call in
doctor without the servants request or
consent, he must foot the bill As to wheth-
cr married woman can bind her husband
by calling In doctor to attend servant
is settled in the negative; the weight Of
authority is that way.
The party hiring is bound to furnish the
domestic with proper food and to support
the servant during sickness so long as she
remains in his or her employ.
A servant girl has right to the enjoy
ment of good character and one who
maligns her wrongfuly can he made to pay
for IT, Neighborly communications made
in good faith are protected.
The right to wages is unaffected by dam
age done by the servant. On this point
housekeepers have many erroneous ideas
The party hiring cannot, without an express
agreement, deduct from servants wages
the value of damaged property, but must
bring cross action to recover the value.
1t amounts to the same thing in the end,
and domestics would do wisely to avoid the
expenses of law suit. II a servant hired
for specific time is wrongfully discharged
before the expiration of the time for which
she was hired, she can sue for a breach of
contract. 1t is obligatory however, for her
diligently to seek another place. Where
there is no hiring for specific time, the
understanding is that the domestic shall be
entitled to wages for the time she serves.
As to notice of dismissal, in England it is
customary to give a months notice; the
rule does not prevail here.
The wages of n married woman belong
to the husband where the rule has not been
by statute. A child's earnings be-
long to and are recoverable by the parent.
The father, if living, can claim them, If he
is dead, the widow can do so. but if she
marries again her right is gone. If the child
has no parent or guardian entitled to her
wages the mistress must pay them to the
servant. The property rights and rights of
life and limb of servants are as sacred as
those of other people.

We understand that Judge Elwell
has written letter to a friend, in
which he states that the addition of
Sullivan county to his district will make
IT too large for the proper transaction
OF business. As Judge Elwell is known
TO be an able and laborious Judge, his
statement in reference to matter
which he so well understands, should
be accepted as conclusive by our mem
bers ut Harrisburg While, however,
we agree that Sullivan ought not to be
added to Judge Elwell's district, we
must protest against the suggestion
which has been made to attach it to the
Lycoming district. This seems to us
preposterous, for Judge Cummin has
as much business here as he can proper
ly attend to. 1t seems to us that moth
ing better can be done for Sullivan and
Wyoming than to keep them together
as they now are. The state can afford
to have districts enough so that Justice
can be promptly administered.-Ga-ette

The bill prohibiting the granting
OF free passes was reached in the Sen.
ate on Tuesday, and on notion of Mr.
Biddis the vote by which the bill pas
sed third reading was reconsidered for
the purpose of special amendment.
The senate then went into com.
mittee of the whole and Mr.. Biddis
proposed the following substitute for
the bill
No railroad, railway, or other trans
portation company, nor any officer or
agent thereof, shall grant any free pass
or passes, at discount, to any person
except officers or employees of the com.
pany, Any person violating the pro-
visions of this act shall be guilty of
misdemeanor aud upon conviction shall
be punished by fine not exceeding
$500 aud Imprisonment not exceeding
six months.
Mt Cooper moved to amend by
emitting the Imprisonment clause, and
reducing the fine from $500 to 500
which motion was rejected.
The committee then adopted the
substitute of Mr. Biddis by vote of
eighteen yeas TO fifteen nays and it was
laid over for final passage

a prominent actor in the impeachment
of President Andrew johnson and fig.
ured conspicuously in the reconstruction

Western Wheat.
REPORTS FROM TWO HUNDRED COUNTIES
on TuE SUBJECT.


The Post Dispatch has reports of
the winter wheat crop from over two
hundred counties ip parts of Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Kansas,
Missouri and Texas, where winter
wheat Is growr. In Missouri and Kan
sas the condition is good, the average
fully equal to last year and the dam
age no greater than usual at this time
of the year Tennessee and Illinois
give fair reports, but Kentucky aud
Indiana, especially the latter, show con
siderable damage. From Texas re
ports are mcagre, but those received
are good. IL is learned from other
sources that the condition is generally
good, with fair prospect for full
crop. The reports also show that
very large amount of last years corn
crop still remains in the above named
states. A dispatch from Topeka, Kan
sas, where the Kansas state millers
association is now in session, says
'The miller's present express the opin-
ion that the wheat prospect in that
state is very favorable and predict that,
with good weather, the yield will be
from thirty to forty million bushels.

Centre Notes.

The Hidlay Union Sunday School, after
the usual vacation from Christmas to Eas-
ter, reopened last Sunday and organized for
the summer with Mr.. j. III. Aikman Super
intendent, Mr.. c. E. Greasy Secretary, and
a full corps of able officers. This school
has been open every summer for many
years and there are but few country Sunday
Schools that excel it in attendance, order
and general management. Among the
young ladies of the first Bible class for sew
eral summers past has been found Miss
Lucy Hidlay, daughter of Levi Hidlay,
granddaughter of George Hidlay, and
great-grand- daughter of Henry Hidlay, who
donated the ground for the Hidlay church
and school many years ago when the first
settlements were made in the valley. We
were sorry to learn that Miss Hidlay with
her parents, would leave us next Tuesday
to make their home in the future in Three
Rivers, Michigan. Many are the friends
who will remember them and wish them
success.
Prof. Heck will close the school at Grange
Hall this week and go to Orangeville to
take charge of the Academy.
The History of Columbia County by Col.
Freeze was delivered here last Monday and
we hear many speaking of it in terms of
highest praise. On page so is found the
statement that "Cabin run empties into the
Susquehanna on the farm of Levi Aikman.'
This should read Briar Creek instead of
Susquehanna.
