The principal matter of interest, the case of James Pittenturf. was taken up last and after conference between the Court, District Attorney Neely and D. P. McPherson, Esq Pittenturf 'a counsel, it was decided to defer pronouncing his sentence until December 4. the term given at that time dating from Siturday, 18.

Under the Act of 1909 tkere could be no alternative but a sentence of thirty years for Pittenturf as he had been sentenced twice before to terms of not less than a year in a Pennsyl vania penitentiary and the law pro vides that the third sentence shall be for thirty years. The last legislature, however, enacted a new law regarding the sentencing of prisoners whicb is not explicit on this matter and there was some uncertainty Saturday as to whether or not the provisions of the old law regarding the third sentence remained in effect. It was stated that no court had yet ruled on the matter and the additional time was given to investigate the matter more fully. George Hudson, of Lineboro. was given another month in jail.

Hudson, will be recalled, got a dollar each 'or dinner from H. B. Bender and Dr Musselman, claiming that he had left bis money at home and that bis wife would in later to make a purchase or have some work dene. He gave iquor as an excuse for the actiin, claimed he was an honext, well reputed carpenter on. When Judge Swope asked mean to say you never played this game before?" Hudson followed with "Ob--well--now" sentence was imposed.

Reily Miller, of Union township, ileaded guilty to assault and battery Harry J. Weatz. It was brought out that Wentz would not keep his chickens at home and that Miller finally got some on his own premises and sent for Wentz to idenify them. Wentz came, after some delay.and called Miller a number of names until the latter struck the man. Wentz had him arrested.

The Court placed the defendant on a bin to pay the casts. There was gen eral sympathy fcr Miller though it was clearly brought out by the Court that no words justify an assault. Peter Boll caused lots of amusement for the audience. He is an old soldier and was found guilty of assaulting Officer Stronp. The Court evidently did not wish to return him to jail and offered him his freedom a year's parole provided he would p'ay the casts.

This Boll refused flatly to do saying "When I arrested, I could have got eff by paying $5.00 but they made a court trial out of it. Now let the county pay the costs." The Court offered to take bin own note for the costs to be paid at the rate of fifty cents a month. Boll wanted to know how much they amounted to and, when told 15 00 or $20.00. decided be would rather go back to jail. William 'Deardorff, found guilty during the week of assault and battery on his wife and recommended to the mercy of the Court, was sent to jail for a month the Court directing him to write to his wife asking her to see him in jail with the idea of effecting a reconciliation.

"If," said the Court "she fails to answer this you will be released immediately." Harry Metz pleaded guilty to stealing some cigars and peanuts at a picnic conducted by Roy Pittentnrf and also to assault upon Pittenturf. He was before the Court several years ago charged with taking some shoes. He claimed drunkenness as an excuse. A jail sentence of six months was imposed. Joseph Branon, -from above Orrtanna, was sentenced to a term of eight months in the county jail.

He had pleaded guilty to the larceny of a chicken and carrying concealed weapons. Branon served a term of about one year in the Huntingdon Reformatory several years ago having been sent there from York county. William Mattbews.of Hunterstown, was placed OD parole for one year. Matthews, while under influence of liquor, took a coat store of Funkhonser and Sachs. He was also directed to pay the costs of the suit.

They base their prognostications upon signs which they say never fail and which have, for many years past, been the "tell-tales" of weather conditions. Tho "corn husk" prophet is very busy. He has been out in the fields and examined the thickness of the corn shock.

He has found that it is heavier thin fall than it has been for years past. In tbe rural regions this is looked upon as an infallible indication of the coming of a very cold winter. They assert, these farmers, that nature is to prepare tbe grain so that the winds and sleet storms may not destroy it before spring comes again. Even the apples have a thicker peel than usual this year, according to the rural prophets who have a reputation of being "weatherwise." The Red Jonathans, ordinarily thin skinned, are wearing a thick coat for their protection this winter. The Russetts and the Roman Beauties, winter apples of the more ragged type, are also better protected this year than usual.

Nature, according to the prophets, is try ing to protect the fruits and grains against the ravages of a harsh winter. Persons who have been out nutting say the hickory trees had plenty of nuts, apparently of a larger size than usual. When tbe green nuts were split open they were found to he of tbe usual but the hulls were of tremendous thickness. Nature was Paragraphs of News TeUing if the Happenings in and about Towi.

Magister, as showing the main function of I the teacher to be a leader and comrade of bis pupils, all of them studying together, rather than as preceptor who treats them as empty receptacles in which to store the treasures he had to impart. True, he was a leader with authority, anil i the natural Roman idea be freely used the rod as a magic stimulus to study and for curbing the refractory, but the comrade ship of work was implied throughout. As a college man tbe speaker gave a cordial welcome to the teachers, stating that he fully realized how dependent the college is on the good work done in the public schools. A variety of courses is offered by our colleges but for each course there is required what is considered an equivalent grade of preparation, and for this preparation the college must look in large measure to tbe public school teacher.

His work is at the beginning and all know the importance of beginnings and foundations And jf there should be a close comradeship between teacher and pupil much more should this comradeship be close between teacher and teacher, no matter in what grade either may be. Cheerfully therefore, tbe speaker said, are the doors of Brua Chapel thrown wiue open for the teachers of Adams County in their annual institute It would be a pleasure to welcome a convention of physicians or lawyers or or civil engineers for all such are set for the welfare and prorgcss of human conditions, and jet back of all such men is the public school teacher. Hence the welcome to any body of such useful men and women deserves to be specially sincere and cordial. busy again trying to protect the life germ in the nuts from the stings of frost and the chills of a long cold spell. All tha nuts that grow in the North are showing the same peculiarities The goosebone prophet looks upon this as backing up his claims that this is to be real of them old fashioned kind when the snow was three feet deep on level-ground and tne drifts in the roada were BO high and hard that you could drive right over the five rail fences at the side of the highway." Other prophets are putting their faith in the coming of a cold winter on the fact that all animals on the farm are beginning to show indications tbat their coats will be extremely heavy this wiuter.

Horses, cattle, sheep and others that dread the cold are growing rougher and heavier coats this early in the season. BLUM-MUNDORFF On Saturday at Reading Miss Edith N. Mundorff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Mundorff. of South Washington street, and David Blnin, of Trenton, New Jersey, were married.
