JAPANESE ARISTOCRAcY.
Territorial Lords Surrender Thsas Powers to Strengthen . Cen.
 tral Government.

Undoubtedly the most powerful and at the same time exclusive aristocracy was that of the Daimos, or territorial lords of Japan prior to the great social revolution of 1868. There were fewer than 300 of these great lords. Their power within their own provinces was almost absolute, and they owed merely nominal allegiance to the sovereign. Yet in 1869 2+1 out of less than 300 Daimos voluntarily surrendered their powers and their possessions into the bands of the emperor, in order that centralized government might conduct tue affairs of the empire in manner more in accordance with those western ideas which the nation was then mnk- ing up its mind to adopt, and from this surrender the phenomenal progress of Japan IS world power undoubtedly dates. A somewhat similar case may be found in the history of Russia, when in the year 1864, the boyars, believing that the czar, Ivan w., afterward known as the Terrible, was about to leave them to their own intrigues and domestic strifes, laid all the privileges of their order at his feet to induce him to return. It was from this act of self abnegation that the traditional autoc- racy of the Russian empire practically begins.

Low ANSWERS HIND.
Eben Low has filed lengthy answer to
the complaint OF Robert Hind. in which
he asked for dissolution of partnership.
Mr.. Low alleges that Hind did not pay
much attention to the ranch, but lived
far away, and that he, the defendant,
worked day and night in building it from
property of little value to ranch of
the value OF 500. 600. He denies that he
has been extravagent, or used the ranch
for his own personal gain. He further
says that ii is Hind who should have
made the accounting; that he has care
fully fulfilled all the terms of the CO.
partnership, and that there is no ground
for dissolution of partnership but that
If misunderstanding has arisen. by the
terms of the agreement, it should be ar
bitrated. The defendant further answers:
THAT the ranch has . value to de-
PENDANT which it does not have to COM
plainant, inasmuch as when complainant
and defendant entered into co-partner-
ship they had no capital and no stock,
but through the efforts of defendant said
io aSeS were procured, and through defend
ants unremitting TOLL deprivationS and
he has produced from nothing
a property which is now worth IN the
of 100000. in ell OF which
shares equally with defend
ant; that the said ranch has no value to
other than from = merce-
nary standpoint, based entirely and wholly
upon what Ii will produce. while to de-
PENDANT it is q creation of his own hand;
every head OF stock he has either pur-
chased or raised; every building or fence
he has erected or made: almost every
fruit tree he has planted with his own
hands. He has studied the climate and
physical conditions, and planted and ex-
with foreign grasses and prod
lcts until now he has the ranch largely
covered with alfalfa, Australian and 1tai
an rye grasses and other grasses; ne has !
the growth and development of |
MS herds of thoroughbred cattle, and !
brought them up to such a degree of ex- |
,ellence that they are the admiration Of |
II who see them. All these, and many |
,ther considerations which it is impos- |
,ible to detail, give to this ranch ard |
property a value to defendant it could |
inder no circumstances possess for sny |
,ther person: that a sale OF this &C. |
endant's interest in said property in |
which he has spent the prime of his life !
n creating would be crushing blow to |
defendant. for which there could 0e no |
dequete pecuniary compensation"

Suffers Experience With Balky Pony.

Francis o. Sutter, Of this place, who
recently accepted position as travel
ing salesman for |. N. Hinch & Co., of
Harrisburg, had an experience last
week with balky pony that would dis
arrange most any good temper. The
company owned team of black ponies
which a former agent had left over in
Indiana county. Frank went after the
rig and when he got his samples in the
light sled and was ready to start one of
the ponies refused to go. After con-
siderable effort the ponies started on a
run and Frank let them run six miles,
himself on his success in managing a
balky horse he encountered snow drift
and the team stopped and there they
staid from 7.30 p. IN. to 200 a. m. After
losing his temper, exhausting his
patients, wearing out his whip and
breaking the singletree, he unhitched
the ponies, left the sled and samples in
the snow drift and rode one OF the
ponies and lead the other to Punxsu-
tawney, a distance of five miles. He
hired liveryman to go after his sled
and samples. When he was ready to leave
Punxsy, after much persuation, he got
the team started and kept them going
until they reached Anita, and there he
had to hire another horse and lead his
balky pony to Reynoldsville. Saturday
morning he tried to get the balky
pony to work, but It refused to work
and Frank finally traded .he pony for
one that would work and started on his
way rejoicing Monday morning.

An illustrated Lecture.

An illustrated lecture on "Ten Nights
in Bar Room" was given in Centen-
nial hall last Friday evening by Rev.
w. II. Shawger, of Dover, N. j. On
account of several valentine socials''
the attendance was not as large as it
would otherwise have been, but fair
sized audience was present. There was
little delay in getting the pictures
ready on account of break in the
machine, but when ready for operation
1t worked nicely and the pictures were
fine. Rev Shawger is a good talker
and the lecture was impressive, and
certainly would have good effect on
the audience. We believe this is one
OF the effectual ways of delivering q
temperance lecture. Rev. Shawger is
deserving OF large audiences wherever
he gives his illustrated lecture.

ever given by the Utopians. The table
decorations were fine. Hearts were
conspicuous through the whole affair,
even the ice cream was served in heart
shaped boxes. A prize was offered to
the gentleman who could play "Swanee
River in the most skillful manner on
a violin. All the gentlemen present
had to take their turn, and as they were
all about as familiar with violin as a
four-legged animal is with Latin, their
musical productions were almost enough
to effect a marble statue. DIR. S. Reyn-
olds carried off the prize. A large
heart was pinned on wall, every one
present was blind-folded and the one
pinning a dart nearest center of the
heart was to get Il prize. Mrs. james
A. McCreight and Mrs. A. 7. Bing got
the prizes. The social was very
