The Susquehanna correspondent of
Wednesdays Scranton Republican
says: Two woodchoppers cut down
tree near Pond Eddy, and in the
stump they found the skeleton of a
man. Clothing was found with the
bones. There was hole in the tree,
but it could only be reached by a
ladder or by climbing. About 10
years ago shoemaker named Van
denmark suddenly disappeared. Many
supposed that he had money and had
been murdered for 1t. The skeleton
is believed to be his. The murdered
man must have been cut in pieces be-
fore being put in the hollow of the
tree, as the hole was too small to ad.
nit the whole body.

Moot Point of Law.

An English writer gives a good ex-
ample of those bubbles in legal prac-
tice that have a sort of fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago. while
travelling ON the Continent he met the
principal lawyer for the government
of one of the principalities, who told
him of a curious legal question. 1t
had reference TO a railway station at
the boundary between two principali-
ties.
Some one standing outside the win
dow of the ticket-office had put his
hand through and robbed the till in
side. The boundary-line lay between
where the thief stood and the till, so
that he was actually in one territory
while the crime was committed in the
other Here was a nice nut for the
gentlemen learned in the law to crack.
Which of the principalities should I'M
dertake the prosecution of the culprit?
At it they went in good earnest and
the arguments on either side were
long and vehement, till the whole case
was embalmed in many volumes. At
last one side yielded so far as to say:
I'VE viii permit you, as an act of
courtesy, to prosecute. while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights"
At this point of the recital / asked,
"And how did the prosecution end:'
"Ah, that is quite another matter,
said my friend. There was no prose
cution; we We're only arranging what
we should do when we caught the rob-
Der; but we never caught lin"

The great popularity of Peruna as q
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Perlna. 4 great many
so-called aatarrh remedies and catarrhal
tones are TO be found in many drag
stores. These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pc
runa. Perunn can only be obtained sc
a uniform price, ard 20 druggist can
get it cent cheaper.
Thus il is that druggists are tempted
TO substitute the cheap limitations Of Pc
runa for Peruns. 1t is done every day
without doubt.
