"A wife's RI sht to Hold Property agains. Her
Husbands Creditors.

Chief Justice Mercur, of the Supreme
Court, has handed down an opinion in the
case of Sober VS.. STANDARD, which came up
on writ of error to the judgment of the
Common Pleas OF Northumberland County.
The facts of the case were briefly as fol-
lows: On August 6, 1S79 judgment was
entered against Isaac j. Sober In favor OF
Charles STANDARD for $2S29O. There were
several judgments ahead of Standards, in
cuding one entered against Sober in favor
of his wife, Abigail Sober. In 1878 Sober's
farm was sold under judgment
prior to both that Of Mrs. Sober
and that of STANDARD. The farm was
bought IN by the prior judgment creditors,
and was sold to Mrs. Sober for a nominal
consideration of $4,000. The whole pur-
chase money was secured by a mortgage
signed by Mr.. and Mrs. Sober. STANDARD
Immediately levied upon the wheat, hay
and potatoes upon the farm, as the proper
erty of Mr.. Sober. The latters wife claim.
ed that these products were hers, and
pointed to the sale. Judge Rockafellar, of
the lower court, however, held that the
sale was void as against creditors.
The decision is endorsed by the Chief
Justices opinion. He holds that the true
intent Of the act of 1s4S is to preserve TO a
wife and to protect her in the use and en-
joyment of her bona fide separate estate |;
bu. not to enable her to defraud the credi-
tors Of her husband. In the present case
the wife had no separate estate on which a
credit could be based. The purchase was
solely on the personal credit of herself
and her husband, and it cannot be sus-
tanned. The judgment is affirmed

on the following Sabbath, particularly by
the infant portion OF the school, among
which was "Who was Zaccheus 2" No
sooner was the question pronounced than
promptly responded 10 by a bright little
boy, who said, she was Republican, and
was very rich" 1t was afterwards sug
