While in Philadelphia on Wednesday
last, we hung our hat in the American
House or Chestnut street, presided over by
that veteran landlord, Mr., VIM d. McClel-
land, formerly Ofthe Logan House. Altoona.
Mr.. r. H. Thompson, formerly of this place
is chief clerk, and what the landlord and

borough landlord, who deliber ately under
took to run an open bar after having been
refused a license by the Court, was senten-
ced on Tuesday last to pay fine Of 500 on
each OF ten indictments on which he bad
been convicted. There are several other
cases pending against him. A man who is

coach and four through an act of Assembly
will discover in the outcome that he has
been "gnawing at a ile," and that the IL
cense laws were made to be riRidly enforced
and cannot be violated with impunity.
Derr's experience has been somewhat ex
pensive, but it will be very useful to him, as
well as to others who have an insane notion
that il is quite an easy matter to Cheat
the law on the license question.
