Alone ON the Prairia.

Thesday was in that Lransitory state when
twilight fingers in the lap Of day and dark
ness struggles for the ascendency. The
sun hung in great red ball of lurd flame
betwixt heaven and earth there was n
feeling of profound quiet which seemed to
settle on all things animate and inanimate
The birds, the insects, the very trees and
sprouLng plants were for the moment
hushed as if in expectancy of some unfore-
seen, some inexplicable something which
seemed to pervade the very atmosphere.
A bull frog gurgled softly as he fell back
into the impid water. Suddenly over the
brow of distant hill, there appeared
solitary man, seated astride a great bay
horse he cast one long sweeping glance
around him and then went back over the
brow of the hill again. And that same
night over seven hundred people were
turned away unable to gain admission to
the opera house where She Couldn't
Marry Three" was being played 10 the
most delighted audience of the season.

WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
An Old L cal Real Estate Case
Decided by the Court at Potts.
ville-Franey Awarded the
Valerias Property.

The property on the east side of North
Jardin street, south of Coal, and adjoining
the residence of James J. Franey, was the
subject of decision by Jud @ Green al
Pottsville yesterday. The property ha
b cen IN dispute between Mr.. Franey and
Michael Valerias and wife for long time.
1t was sold at a Sheriff's sale and the party
who bid it in turned 1t over to Franey.
Valerias and his wife then disputed the
sale, clai uing that there was collusion be-
tween the bidder and Franey, and they
have continued to hold possession. The
decision rendered yesterday declares that
Franey is entitled to the property. 1t is as
follows: "Thi is q proceeding under A ct
10, May, 1871, to obtain poss ssion of GER
tain property, purchased at Sheriff's sale by
the plaintiff and sold as the property of
| Valerias and wife, who are in possession.
He resists the delivery of possession and
has filed an action attacking the validity of
the Sheriff sale on the ground of fraudu-
lent collusion on the part of the purchaser.
Can he avail himself of such a defense in
this proceeding? Whatever merit there
may be in the allegations of fraud, it is
clear to my mind they can not be inquired
into in the present proceeding.
"The act of Assembly, Sec. 5. says thai
the court has inquired whether the peti.
toner has become the purchaser of the real
estate, and says that sheriff or coroner
deed for the same, duly acknowledged and
certified, shall be full and conclusive eYi-
dence of that, first, before such court or
Judge. There is no provision made in this
proceeding for the trial of such an issue as
is raised by the defendants in the afIi 1svit
of the wife,
"The court is requested to forbear giving
Judgment only in the event that the parties
in possession do not claim under the de-
PENDANTS in the judgment, or that they
claim by title from the defendant prior tc
the rendition of the judgment, and are
therefore not included in the excepted
cases. Due proof of notice to the sui
haying been made, all the requisites of the
act of Assembly have been complied with
and the possession of said real estate i.
awarded to the petitioner at the cost of tn,
defendants"

during August the call for them is heavier
than during two ordinary months,
presumably because there are generally
thunderstorms and sudden changes during
the month. 1t is not question of the
