NOTES.
A colored Frenchman erplied for natu-
ralization papers in Pittsblrg few days
ago. Such an application marks an ex-
ception to a declaration made by
Judge White in court q couple of years
ago. when he said that the color of black
man was sufficient evidence of his being
citizen of the United States.
The emancipation of married womer IN
this state is nearly complete. Judge Ar
mold decides that a married women
who gave note in payment of her
husbands debts is responsible therefor.
Married women were al one time under an
actual, as well as legal, disability to
make contracts. The legislature has been
gradually extending their privileges as
well as their legal responsibility, until now
they are almost on the same plane as mar
ried meT.
Judge McGlung, of Allegheny Co., late
ly handed down an opinion on the rules
for Judgment on a number of cases brought
to recover the penalty for selling olemar-
garine, for want OF sufficient affidavit OF
defense. He decided that the penalty i'm
posed by the olemargarine act is for selling
or offering for sale of the article with the
intent to sell the same as an article of food
and not for the simple offering for sale, &c
In none of the cases does the statement
of claim contain an averagement that the
olemargarine was sold, &c, as an article
of food Hence the penalty does not fol
low and the statement would not support
a judgment. The rules were discharged.
Miss II. A. Critchlow Exr'x. has brought
suit in assumpsit VS. l.. f. Critchlow.
Letters of Admir-. were granted to W
V. Seaman and W. J. Welsh on estate of
James Cunningham decd, of Butler twp;

tate of Henrietta Leithold OF Winfield
