JeHerson,s Ten Rules.

Never put off until tomorrow what
you can do to-day
Never trouble another for what you
can do yourself
Never spend your money before
you have made It,
Never buy what you don't want be-
cause 1t is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
We seldom regret of having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
How much pain the evils that have
never happened have set us.
Take things always by the smooth
handle.
When angry, count ten before you
speak; when very angry, count one
hundred.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intiamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
cd to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Oatarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

GRAND JURY'S
RECOMMENDATION

The grand jury presented its report
on Wednesday evening. after which 1T
was discharged Several recommends
tions were ID ade, the most important
of which relates to the construction of
a retaining wall on the plot of ground
belonging to the county abutting on
the river just west of the approach to
the bridge, the building of which has
been postponed from year to year for
long time past.
Following is the report:
To the Honorable Judges of the
Court of quarter session of Montour
county.
The grand jury is pleased to submit
it's report of having performed it's duty
under the order of the court as expedi-
tiously as possible.
We have examined the Jail and find
it in excellent condition. The court
house was also examined and we
would recommend that the judges
desk be lowered compatibly with the
wishes of the judges
We would also recommend that the
steam pipes in the basement be cover
ed with asbestos or some other suit
able material, thereby making it more
comfortable in the court room and a
saving of fuel and water on the fur
naces.
We would also recommend that the
county com nissioners build retain
ing wall on the west side of the river
bridge from the abutment to the bor-
ough wall already built.
We would report the river bridge in
good condition

James G. Packer, Esq, has made a
magnificent gift to the First Presby-
terau church of Sunbury in the form
of the property on the corner of Centre
street and Woodlawn avenue, in the
rear of the editice. The lot is the full
width of the building and extends
from the back wall to the street in the

Packer in memory of his mother, the
late Mrs. Mary M. Packer, who was a
lifelong member of the Presbyterian
church, and whose remembrance has
been prepetuated by the hospital which
bears her name.
A building will be erected on the

Delivering Brick at Hospital.

% About 200, 900 brick are already de-
livered at the hospital. Burned or
ready for the kiln Mr.. Keim has about
600, 900 brick on hand. The work of
delivering them at the hospital will
continue as fast as the brick can be
burned. AT present about two kilns
of brick remain to be burned.
The open winter has enabled Mr..
keim to do great deal of important
work that will make it much easier
next summer in view of the heavy
contract to fill. He has over a dozen
men employed daily. hauling brick to
the.hospital, piling up brick in the
kilns, or digging clay for use next
summer. He will require the services
of the full force of men for the next
couple of weeks longer at least. 1t is
indeed quite the exception for brick
manufacturers to be able to do so
much work during the winter.

DIR. HINSHELWOOD
ACQUITTED

The jury in the case of Common
wealth VS.. Harry Hinshelwood return
ed verdict of not guilty. The twelve
men came to an agreement at about
IL :45 O'Clock. According to instruc-
tions from the court the verdict was
sealed.
At the ringing of the court house
bell at O'Clock Friday morning the
jury resumed it's place in the box.
The sealed verdict in due and legal
form was delivered into the hands of
court. Comparatively few people had
su opportunity to reach the court
room, before the jury had been asked
"to harken to the verdict as the
court had recorded it," which was in
effect that the defendant was mot
guilty" No allusion was made to the
costs, which will be paid by the coun-
ty. The jury was Immediately dis
charged from further attendance at
court.
The jury, it is said, while differing
as to the verdict at no time was any
where near being evenly divided.
Three members held out for convic-
tion awhile, but this number was re-
duced to one, who later came over
with the majority What gave the
jury the greatest perplexity was the
four counts of the indictment, which
gave it some uncertainty that it was
proceeding rightly.

HORSE BACKS INTO
BILLIARDS. RUN

A horse and delivery wagon belong
ing to John Jacobs sons backed down
over the steep bank into Blizzard S
run, at the rear of the bakery Satur-
day morning.
The horse, it appears, is perfectly
trustworthy and does not need to be
tied when left alone. He, however,
has habit of moving forward step
at time, so that he is hardly ever
found by the driver on exactly the
same spot where he was left.
No harm ever resulted, however, un-
til last Saturday when the horse being
in such position that he could not
move forward took to backing Un-
conscious of danger little at time
he ran the wagon backward until the
rear wheels went down over the high
embankment that forms one side of
Blizzard s run
What took place can only be con
jectured. When the driver returned
to the spot after short absence the
horse and delivery wagon lay at the
bottom of the creek, fifteen feet below.
The horse was unhitched and after no
little difficulty both horse and wagon
were dragged up out of the creek. The
horse escaped injury while a broken
shaft was the only damage sustained
by the wagon.

TWENTY DAYS
IN PRISON

William Spade, proprietor of the
Farmers hotel, North Mill street, who
on Tuesday was found guilty of fur
nishing liquor to a minor, was Thurs
day sentenced to undergo an imprison-
ment of twenty days in the county
Jail.
After the last Commonwealth case
was disposed of District Attorney
Gearhart moved that sentence be pass
ed on William Spade. The latter was
summoned to the court house, where
he was called before the judge.
The court in addressing the defend
ant referred to the charge brought
against him and the conviction which
followed. Judge Evans read the act
of assembly relating to the illegal sale
of liquor and explained what the
maximum and minimum penalties are
for furnishing liquor to minors. The
present case, Judge Evans explained,
is the first in which conviction has
occurred in Montour county, although
in all probability it is not the first
violation that has occurred in recent
years
In Columbia county, Judge Evans
stated, there have been convictions for
selling liquor without license, which
he regarded. if possible, greater Of
fense than selling liquor to minor
Under the circumstances, Judge
Evans stated, he would impose min
imum sentence.
The sentence of the court was that
the defendant, William Spade, pay the
costs Of prosecutions fine of fifty dol
lars and to undergo an Imprisonment
in the county prison for period of
twenty days.

TERM OF COURT
PROVED COSTLY

If the average person, even though
he consider himself closely in touch
with public affairs, were asked to off
hand give an estimate of the cost of
holding last court he would probably
guess wide Of the mark. AS matter
of fact several very practical persons
who ventured an opinion differed as
much as five hundred dollars in their
estimate. All of which goes to show
that people as rule have no adequate
conception of the heavy drain that is
made on the county's resources by a
whole week of court-a subject which
after all, every tax payer should be
we'll informed upon.
One thousand dollars would seem to
many people as a heavy outlay for
court. yet the person who should name
the above sum as the cost would be
considerably too low. The exact sum
paid out as the cost of holding the
term of court just closed was a trife
over 81, ,100.9
The grand jury cost Sl64. "a; the
traverse jury, S469. 80. The constables
and the tipstaffs earned $40 90. Just.
ices costs were $40 30. For making
arrests and serving subpoenas const.
ables received 1914. &c. Witnesses cost
$139 AZ. The clerk of courts received
$40 10; the sheriff and deputy. S3l. 85 ;
the court crer, $500; stenographer.
$50. 90.
The above makes no allowance for
what is due the district attorney and
Jury comm issioners,
