The bill introduced into the Legislature
by Representative Colborn, authorizing the
Commissioner of the several counties of
this Commonwealth, upon an order of the
court of Quarter Sessions, or in vacation of
a law judge thereof, TO discharge from pris-
on without the delay and expense of any
proceedings under the insolvent laws of
this Commonwealth every convict who shall
have served out his or her term of imprison-
ment, notwithstanding such convict shall
not have paid the costs of prosecution, etc,
has passed third reading, and will, in all
probability, at an early day become a law,
as it should. 1t is the heighth of absurdity
to keep a prisoner confined for the payment
Of costs that he cannot pay and at the same
time be increasing the costs daily.

Rev. W. II. Conrad, corresponding secre-
tary of the Baptist general association of
Pennsylvania, in a paper just issued gives
the following astonishing figures: THE ag-
gregate membership of all the evangelical
churches of Pennsylvania does not exceed
100000. The entire population of the State
is about 100000, from which it appears
that 100000 souls may be perishing at u
doors for want of the bread of life. What
other State or Territory shows more alarm

upon the prayers and contributions of Chris

RESPONSIBILITY OF BoRoUGHs. Judge
ington, Pa, laid down the law in a case
showing the duty of city and borough au-
thorities, as well as supervisors of road, in
regard to keeping public t~horougbfares in
safe condition for travellers, which is inter-
esting throughout the State. The case was
that of Williams against Monongahaly City,
being a suit for damages, Williams having
been injured by being thrown from his
sleigh, which had come in contact with a
pile of frozen dirt. The plaintiff was award
ed So, 900.
"Boroughs and cities are bound to keep
their streets in a reasonably safe condition
for travellers. They should not permit any
obstruction in the streets, or anything that
is likely TO endsnger the safety of travellers.
Persons Who may wantonly place obstruc-
tons in the street may also, under some
circumstances, be liable in damages for a
personal injury; but the borough or city is
liable where the city officials have actual
knowledge of its existence, or where it has
continued long enough to give them infor-
nation, although they may not have actual
knowledge of it. The neglect of a city to
keep its streets in such condition is called
in law negligence. If the dirt pile was some
nine feet from the curb stone in the street.
four feet in diameter at the base, and Some
eighteen inches high, and had remained on
the street with the knowledge of the Off
GERS of the city having charge of the streets,
from the sth or 18th or Goth of December
until the LIST of February, l have no hest
fancy in saying the city was guilty of neg
ligence.
The main question, however, in the case
is: Wa the plaintiff guilty of contributaEy
negligence Because, Notwithstanding the
city may have been guilty Of negligence,
yet if the plaintiff was also guilty of neg
lgence which contributed to the result. he
is not entitled to recover. While travellers
have a right to presume the street is clear
the entire width of it, yet they are bound
to keep their eyes about them, bound to
drive with some degree Of care and pru-
dence, in consequence of these distractions
that may exist. The degree Of care requir-
ed of the traveller is degree of care that
would be exercised by an ordinary prudent
or cautious man under the existing circum-
stances.

ed. In speaking of the measure the Altoo-
ma Tribune voices our views exactly: Now
let the Legislature show its consistency by
passing a law prohibiting child beating in
home and school. If it is 'inhuman' and
not in accordance with the spirit of the
age to give a cruel scoundrel who has a
habit of beating his wife a dose of his wi
medicine. what is it 10 beat helpless chill
dren for real or fancied offences. Let us be
consistent. If we are too humane TO lash
the deserving back of the wife beaters let us
be humane enough to abolish the senseless

children for every trifing offense as is the
custom in too many homes and school.

BURGESS CoLBoRR's FIRST HEARISG.-Bur-
CESS Colborn took the oath of office Monday
morning, and Wednesday afternoon he held
his first police court. The offenders brought
before him were James Cummins, George
McMann and Henry Eskin. The former is
charged with committing an assault and ma
licious mischief, and the latter two with
committing an assault and carry ing con-
cealed weapons. 1t appears, from evidence
produced at the hearing, that Eskin and
McMann made their appearance in Somerset
Wednesday morning, and soon attracted at
tention by offering for sale postage stamps
at n very liberal discount. They also dis
etc. In the afternoon they fell in with
Cummins, and the three repaired to the
house of Mrs. Hass, a widow woman living
in the southern end of the borough, where
they behaved in a very reprehensibls man
ner, one of them at one time showing a re-
volyer and threatening to shoot Mrs. Hass.
After considerable difficulty she succeeded
in getting rid of them, when she repaired
to the Burgess office and made information
against them. In the meantime the parties
had left town, going towards lockwood.
Warrants were issued for their arrest and
placed in the hands of Sheriff Spangler and
Policeman Gilbert, who took the Z o'clock
train for lockwood. On the way down
they learned that the parties had last been
seen at the house ola woman named Zim-
norman, several miles this side of Rock
wood. The conductor kindly stopped the
train near the house named, where the Off
GERS found their men in bed, McMann and
Eskin having cooked revolvers in their
hands. They were quickly secured by the
officers and taken to lockwood, where a
caboose and engine was placed at their dis
posal for the return trip. The officers arrived
here about midnight, and lodged their pris-
oners in jail. After the hearing, in default
of five hundred dollars bail each, the Bur-
CESS committed them to Jail to answe the
above named charges at the next term of
Court. AT the time of the arrest there was
nothing of a suspicious nature found upon
the person of any of the prisoners, but it is
generally supposed that Eskin and McMann
did not come honestly by the postage stamps
and other articles which they sold, but that
they had been engaged in the robbery of
some of the stores in adjoining counties
which have recently taken place.
