week's issue, that Rev Charles H. Mead had
gone to Ohio. The Reverend gentleman has
gone to some point in Delaware.

of Frederick Hesser, at Shamokin, in ]874.
Freight and travel appear to be extremely
heavy. One day a week or so ago there were
a thousand cars in the yard at Altoona, over
and above the necessary motive power to move
them.
Some person has very properly dubbed the
southern side of Penn street, between Fourth
and Fifth streets, "Jerusalem Row." The
business is not all confined to foreign Jews
either.
Jerome Buchanan left this place, on Monday
evening last, for a tour through the Western
states, with a view, we understand, of select
ing a place to pitch his tent sometime in the
future.
If you want something nice for marking
your clothing, buy one of the Indelible Tablets
for sale at the JOURNAL • Store. No pen, no
smearing, and the best article ever offered for
this purpose. tf.
Montgomery, the Fifth street clothier, has
erected a large canvas awning in front of his

it makes a fine shelter for Sunday street
loungers.
Becky Berris, a deformed and simple minded
colored girl, of Altoona, died a few days ago,
from the effects of an outrage perpetrated upon
her by a young negro of that city. Where is
Judge Lynch ?

a bill of costs to the County Commissioners
footing up over two hundred dollars. The
County authorities brought down their veto
emphatically.
It is really said that Huntingdon county has
several representatives at Harrisburg. This
will he surprising intelligence to many of our
people. "If I was so soon to be done for what
was I begun for?'
One witness in the barn burning case, de
clares that Judge Leas insisted upon setting
up a ladder against a cherry tree in the im
mediate vicinity of the fire. The inference is
that it was too hot for the Judge to keep cool.
A quartette of itinerant musicians perambu
lated our streets on Tuesday last and gave
out-door concerts, taking up a collection at
the close of each performance. The music
was passable, but their proceeds were not very
heavy.
It would not be a bad idea to re-elect our
efficient board of County Commissioners.—
The affairs of the county have been most
faithfully administered during their term of
office. Mr. Weaver, we learn, declines a re
election.
Poor Old Jimmy Walls is perambulating
our streets again. He is a wretched loot ing
object. He appears to linger about the Court
House as if he were bound to it by some in
visible cord that held him fast and dispelled
his reason.
From Jackson on the North to Broad Top
city on the South, and Morris on the West to
Tell on the East, comes the joyous report that
never in the history of Huntingdon county
have the crops looked as well as at this season
of the year.
We have the finest "horse cuts" in the State
and are prepared to get up horse bills in a
style superior to any other office in this sec
tion. Owners of horses will please remember
this fact when they are ready to have their
posters printed. tf.
John R. Cunningham, esq., and family re
move to Media, Delaware county, this week.
Our friends' hack, between the old and new
town, will be missed very much. It is one
of our institutions. We wish them success
in their new home.
Physicians cannot afford to differ in regPrd
to small-pox. Any other disease the ordinary
mind might have some difficulty in compre
hending, but there is no trouble in compre
hending the pitted faces that so frequently
meet you on the street.
Henry & Co., directed their foreman, at the
Cottage Planing Mill, last week, to extend the
hours of labor of their employees from eight to
ten hours. This was good news for the boys. It
is a long time since they have had an op
portunity to make a full day's work.
The Grand Jury, at the present session of
court, put in almost a full week. After
having acted upon all the bills of indictment
laid before them they visited the alms-house
for the purpose of inspecting the farm, house,
etc., and were discharged on Friday.
The hill opposite Huntingdon was peopled
with visitors and sight-seers on Sunday last.
A fine view is presented from the pinnacle of
this ridge, and during the summer season is
largely visited by our citizens, and strangers
who tarry with us during the heated term.
The calathumpians were out in full force, on
Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the mar
riage of Mr. Gamble of Altoona, to Miss Annie
Westbrook, of our town, and for the space of
an hour they converted the usually quiet of
Church street into a perfect pandemonium.
The sub committee of the school board is
earnestly at work getting designs for the
contemplated building. Let them get the
most modern and best adapted design known
to modern school architecture. The building
should be a credit to the town for a century
to come.
Rumor has it that the coal wharf in this
place is to be entirely abandoned in the course
of a few days, and that the engines which coal
at this point will be served at Mifflin and Bell's
Mills. If this rumor turns out to be authentic
a number of men will be thrown out of em
ployment.
Frederick Richardson, a railroad employee,
met with a serious accident, on Saturday last,
at Riddlesburg. As we understand it he was
attempting to board his train, but in his effort
to do so missed the stirrup and his foot lighting
upon the rail was caught by the wheels and
severely crushed.
On Friday evening last Policeman Allen ar
rested a boy for jumping on the cars, and
started with him for the_ lockup, but when
they reached the corner of Fifth and Penn
streets the boy tore loose and went up Penn
street like a quarter horse, succeeding in
making his escape.
Mr. Christ Haines, of this place, was thrown
from a carriage, one day last week, whilst on
a visit to a friend, in Juniata township, and
had one of his wrists broken. Another
person who accompanied him, whose name we
did not learn, was also thrown out, and sus
tained several cut's and bruises.
If our farmer friends have any money to
invest we would suggest that they can find
no better borrower than Huntingdon county.
The county needs some funds. Its paper is
better than that of the government. It has
little or no debt, and its affairs are managed
by an able and efficientboard of Commissioners.
Those of our patrons who came in and paid
us during Court have our hearty thanks, but
it is astonishing how few of those who are in
arrears have come to time. Hardly a score of
the hundreds. What are we to do ? Must
we add on costs to the already too large bills ?
We do not wish to do so, and yet we see no
other way out of it..
A troupe of female minstrel's appeared in
Yenter's Hall, in this place, us Saturday night
last, and performed to about a two-thirds'
house. The performance was made up of
vulgar witticisms, smutty songs, short dresses,
and so forth. From what we heard from some
of the audience we are inclined to think that
it is a "fast" combination.
"The Old Mountaineer," who tarried in this
place for the past several months, professing
to cure all manner of disease, and drinking
large quantities of liquor, has been figuring
in the Pittsburgh courts as prosecutor against
a man named John Burns, whom he alleges
stole $l2O from him when be was "half seas
over." Burns was convicted.
The people who like to listen to the in
delicateand unchaste were fixtures in the Court
[louse last week. It is astonishing what a
taste some people have for this sort of stuff.
And it isn't only the slips of boys, but old
veterans, with beads whitened by the frosts
of many winters, that are conspicuous on such
occasions. "Oh! shame where is thy blush !"
A trio of young lawyers, Messrs. D. F.
Zeigler. J. F. Corbin, and J. A. Hewitt, were
examined and admitted to the bar last week.
We understand that they acquitted themselves
creditably before the committee and gave evi
dence that they were close students. We wish
them success and plenty of fat clients in
whatever field they may fling their shingles to
the breeze.
We understand that some of Huntingdon's
fast young men were on the war path on
Monday night, picking quarrels with any
strangers that happened to cross their path.
They quarrelled with a young man from Mill
Creek, but before they knew what they were
about lie sent a trio of them to grass, and gave
them to understand that they had "waked up
the wrong passenger."
James Maher, a youthful tramp, who had
been staying about this town forseveral weeks,
met with a sad death. in the neighborhood of
Petersburg, on Thursday of last week. In at
tempting to board a passing freight train lie
missed his footing and had both legs cut off
above the knee. His parents reside in Phil
adelphia, to whom his lifeless remains were
forwarded the same day.
Sometime ago, when writing up the Glass
Works project, we unthinkingly said that Mr.
Gobert would erect Glass Works in any town
that would make the most liberal proposition
to him. In the proposition published in the
JOURNAL, Mr. Gobert said explicitly that he
would erect Plate Glass Works in any town
that would subscribe $lOO,OOO and donate the
ground.
An impromptu happy social party assembled
at the residence of Mr. John Cunningham, in
West Huntingdon, on Tuesday evening last,
and were entertained by an itinerant band of
musicians with instrumental music until the
"we sma' hours." They discoursed some very
fine music, on the corner of Bth and Washing
ton, on their way down. They will please
consider our tile elevated.
Wolfkill, who is employed on the Broad Top
railroad, while endeavoring to board a freight
train on the P. R. R., at this place, on Satur
day last, was knocked off by a bumper and
narrowly escaped being caught by the trucks.
lie tried it again, and a second time he was
knocked off his feet, and the trucks cut away
Ur; seat of his unmentionables and the heel of
one of his boots. lie was unhurt.
For several days past a fire has been raging
on Warrior Ridge. We understand that the
flames have extended over a large portion of
the ridge, and that much valuable timber has
been destroyed. We have not learned how
the fire was communicated to the woods, but
as it was near the old pike, a thoroughfare
much traveled by tramps, it is fair to presume
that these nomads are responsible for it.
Our neighbor of the News did not appear to
comprehend us. It is a fact undeniable that
liberal men, men who are good buyers, and
whose patronage is worth having, will go out
of their way many miles to avoid a town that
will not afford them a little good cheer. All
gatherings are a failure in such a place, and
much money that would find its way to the
coffers of its citizens is not put in circulation.
This may be a sad and discreditable truth, but
truth it is.
Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JOURNAL exceeds that of any
other paper in the county by several hundred,
and that its•patrons are generally ofthe better
class, comprising merchants, business men,
mechanics, farmers, and those whose patronage
is desirable to every person engaged in any
and every branch of trade. If you want to get
the worth of your money avail yourselves of
the superior facilities offered by the use of its
columns. tf.
'Squire is responsible for this story :
A week or two since a very timid lady, of
Franklin township, was hastening along the
highwAy on foot, with a prospective rain over
shadowing her. A seedy looking man in front
of her, walking very leisurely, gave her great
uneasiness of mind ; to avoid him she crossed
a fence, passed over a ploughed field, with the
mud ankle deep, and got out ahead of the
object of her dread, to discover, on looking
back, that she had gone to all this vexation
and trouble to avoid her father.
According to promise the first number of
the Greenback Nitional was issued on last
Thursday, and for the initial number pre
sented a very respectable appearance. It is a
twenty-eight column paper, with "patent out
side," and is issued at $1.75 per annum. Its
editor, B. F. Fries, esq., is highly delighted
with our town, and we trust that his business
venture in our midst may prove a profitable
one, but in a county where eleven papers are
published he cannot expect to become a mil-'
licnaire, and if the National pays at all it will
be like old Fullwiler's going to heaven, "a
d—d tight squeeze."
Some person sent the Altoona Tribune a
lying report of the conspiracy case, tried in
our Court last week, in which Rev. James W.
Curry was the prosecutor. The writer said
that the jury was unanimous for acquittal,
but was unable to agree in fixing the costs.—
The following card, signed by eight of the
jurors in the case, gives the truth, and places
the Tribune correspondent in no enviable posi
tion : .'Eleven of the jurors favored a verdict
of conviction as to two of the defendants, and
they were unanimous as to the guilt of one of
them, but under the law we were obliged to
convict two, at least, or none."
SPORTING NOTES.—
A Party of Bellefonte fishermen took 555
trout out of Eddy's Run one day last week.
Since the closing up of the fair grounds
Huntingdon is without a track for horse train
ing.
Several thousand young trout, from the
Marietta hatching establishment, were dis
tributed in the streams of Mifflin county a few
days ago.
The scalp law which has been in force in
this county, for some years past, has been
repealed, and in the future the premiums paid
for the killing of foxes, polecats, hawks, etc.,
will be only one half what they formerly were.
Captain Bogardus and his thirteen year
old son, gave exhibitions of their skill as
wing shots, before the sportsmen of Harris
burg one . day last week. Instea•l of birds,
they fired at glass balls, and gave evidence
that they knew how to do it.
Capt. Bogardus is to break glass balls
before an Altoona audience in the near future.
How would it be if Huntingdon's Sportsman's
Club would make arrangements to have him
visit this place ? The thing can be done with
out much trouble or expense.
The usual weekly contest, between mem
bers of the Sportsman's Club, of this place,
came off on Friday afternoon, and the follow
ing is the result ;

FASIIJON NOTES.—
Gilt fish scale purses have superseded those
of silver.
Russian lace will be a favorite trimming for
Summer dresses.
Silk umbrellas with heavy silver handles
finely carved, are new.
Lyons black silks can be bought as cheap
as 95 tens a yard.
Among the novelties in mitts are those made
of Nottingham lace.
Black damasse parasols have several rows
of lace around them.
The "Wellington" is a jaunty, new, short
skirted walking dress.
High back combs are made of solid tortoise
sheel, with no carving. '
Contrary to prediction, the “Chapeau de
Fleur" continues in favor.
White will be more generally worn this
Summer than for a long time.
Instead of clasps, flowers are used to fasten
necklaces and bracelets.
Plain Wooden fans, handsomely painted,
with grotesque figares carved on the outside,
are among the novelties.
Fashionable ladies are making monogram
fans. The monograms are pasted on black
wooden fans and are unique and pretty.
BEDFORD NOTES
The new addition to the Court House, in
Bedford, adds much to the appearance, as well
as the eonvenience,of that venerable building.
Court was very much crowded, at Bedford.
on Monday. We met scores of the familiar
faces of the yeomanry of that noble old baili
wick.
If you want a real, genuine, hearty "shake"
visit your friends in Bedford county. They
meet you as if they had both hearts and souls.
Ab, Old Bedford, we love thee still.
The Bedford editors were as happy as kings
while we were over there on last Monday.—
Fisher of the Gazette looks better th - ae we
have ever, heretofore, seen him, and Jordan,
of the Inquirer, was wonderfully improved by
his short vacation. Mullen, Keir and Reynolds
hold their own splendidly, and our old part
ner, Lutz, of the Press, is growing stout.
FIRE —A tenant house, on the farm of
Rudolph Brenneman, in Hartslog Valley, a few
miles from this place, occupied by 4 mau
named Albert Shoeuberger,was totally destroy
ed by fire about six o'clock on Friday evening
last. The fire was communicated to the build
ing by a stove-pipe running through the roof,
and so rapid was the spread of the flames that
the entire contents of the house were consumed.
Nothing was saved for the unfortunate family
except the clothes they were wearing. Mr.
Shoenberger is a poor man, and any aid that
our citizens feel like extending to him will be
thankfully received. Furniture, bed clothing,
wearing apparel, etc., will assist him to again
start housekeeping, and any of these articles
will be very acceptable to him at this time.
Help the unfortunate man.
TOWNSHIP ROAD TAXES. —Supervisors
Are Required by Law to Assess the Road Tax in
the Spring of the Year and Give the Citizens of
the Township a Full Opportunity of Working
Out Their Taxes—They Have no Right to En
force Payment in Money Except When the Tax
payer Fails to Work When Required.
His Honor Judge Pearson, filed the follow
ing opinion regarding township road taxes.
It throws valuable light on the subject, and is
of interest to every man who owns a farm in
this State :
John Smith vs. Joseph Saul, supervisor.
No. 38. Equity docket, application for special
injunction granted.
' Per. curiam. This is a very small case to
bring into a court of equity, and we would
certainly not give it any encouragement but
for the purpose of suppressing an illegal prac
tice, said to have long prevailed among super
visors in this county. It is said to be a test
case. The bill shows that the supervisors of
Susquehanna township had the road taxes of
said township assessed late in the fall of 1877
for said year. The complainant had called
on the officer several times through the year,
asking for an opportunity to work out the
road tax on the farm on which he lived as a
tenant. lie was permitted to work to the
amount of $8.34, but desired to work out the
whole tax, which he has since learned was
$15.94, but never had the opportunity, and
early iu 1878 the supervisor distrained and
was about to sell his property for the residue
of the tax. It is said to be the general prac
tice in this and many other townships of
Dauphin county, to assess the tax for the year
late in the fall. This is clearly illegal. When
so done it is impossible for the supervisor to
comply with the law, or the citizen to know
the amount thereof so as to work it out. It is
the duty of the supervisor elected on the third
Tuesday of February, soon after entering upon
the duties of his office, to assess the tax for
the year. He is governed by the valuation
for county purposes, and if the necessities of
the township, from the state of the roads,
require it, may call to his assistance the
assessor of the last year's tax, and levy his for
the coming year, but generally it may be
more prudent to await the settlement of the
tax on each piece of property for the three
years, after the appeals are over, and imme
diately lay the road tax, not exceeding one
per cent. on the county valuation. This tax
must immediately be entered in a book, to
which each person owing road tax can have
free access to see the amount of his taxes, and
the supervisor must allow each person an
opportunity to work it out, by giving public
notice of the time and place of labor. This
book must be kept by the township treasurer,
where they have one. If none Lis been
selected it must be kept by the supervisor,
who is subject to a heavy penalty for refusing
its inspection. It is very clear that this as
sessment and book would be useless if not
made out until the fall of the year after the
working season is over. It has been decided
by the Supreme Court that it is illegal for a
supervisor to enter into such contracts for
making the roads as would preclude the citizen
the opportunity to work out his tax. Building
bridges on a highway by the township is made
an exception. Where a road tax was assessed
and the taxpayer refused the opportunity to
work it out, the supervisor was restrained by
injunction from collecting it on a warrant.
The privilege of working out the tax is a right
clearly conferred by act of Assembly, Miller
vs. Simons Sz Preston, 2 Wright, 309. We are,
therefore, clearly.pf the opinion that it was
the duty of the supervisor in the present case,
and in every case, to assess the road tax early
in the season, and give the citizen of the
township a full opportunity to work it out,
provided lie attends after reasonable public
notice at the time and place fixed by the
supervisor. If he neglects, after such notice,
and the officer is obliged to hire men to per
form the duty, this tax can be collected in
money.
It is said tha: the practice of assessing has
grown up in this county under an idea that
the tax could not be fixed until after the road
expenses of the year were fully known. This
is a mistake. The supervisor, like county
commissioners, must estimate what will be
required. It is also said that the amount of
tax and the wages of labor are directed by the
township auditors. They have nothing to do
with either, but can see that there has been
no abuse of discretion, improper acts, dishon
est conduct, or waste of public money by the
supervisors. The injunction must be contin
ued in this case until the coming in of the
answer. Jxo. J. PEARSON,
TAKES NQ STOCK.—Jonty Smarts is a
sly old dog and has seen much of the world.
The other night he was telling the boys some
huge yarns and philosophizing on men and
things in general. Among other things he
said :
"I take no stock in the man who prays so
loudly and so long, and on all occasions, as if
he were specially deputed from on High to do
all the praying for the community, and who,
in all his business relations, must be watched
as if he were a pick pocket.
"I take no stock in the man who is so rigidly
righteous that he seldom smiles in public and,
who, in private, is a perfect tyrant.
"I take no stock in the man who is always
parading his virtues. Such people, generally,
have a very limited stock to draw upon, and
it' they were not held up to view they would
never be noticed.
"I take no stock in the man who says 'I
must take care of my own interests, if I do not
no one else will.' This is the argument of the
hog. No one ever heard of him paying any
atte ition to the rights of others. . .
"I take no stock in the man who takes no
interest in the affairs of his neighbors, but
says, 'let them take care of themselves as I do.
I make my living by attending to my own bus

COURT PROCEEDINGS.—The present
session of Court has been one of the busiest that
Huntingdon has seen for years. The Quarter Ses
sions opened on Monday of last week with the trial
of the case of the Commonwealth vs. Jacob Zilius,
who was indicted for offenses "too numerous to
mention," and convicted of no less than tour s viz :
selling liquor without license, selling liquor to
minors, selling liquor on Sunday and keeping a
brothel. A large majority of young men of this
town, who would not like to see the r names in
print in connection with this case, were called up
on to testify to the scenes enacted in the "Eagle
Hotel," kept by Jacob Zilius in West Huntingdon.
Several cases of minor interest, in which the de
fendants were charged with assault and battery,
and fornication and bastardy, carrying concealed
weapons, wife desertion, disturbing the public
peace eto., were tried on Monday and Tuesday.
On Tuesday afternoon a case of more than ordi
nary importance was tried, namely the Common
wealth vs. C. Smith, George Taylor, K. Miller
and Malissa. Tennyson, in which the defendants
just named were charged by the Rev. J.W. Curry
of Altoona, with a crime of conspiracy.' Melissa
Tennyson, the last named defendant, is a colored
girl, exceedingly diminutive in body and intellect,
who figured in this court several years ago, as the
prosecutor in a case of rape which it was alleged
had been committed upon her by several colored
boys in the court house yard, in the rear of the
Court House. This girl had been for several years
in the employ of the Rev. Mr. Curry, as a domes
tic, and last August, while attending camp-meet
ing, Mr. Curry and his wife discovered that the
girl was enciente. Upon their return to Altoona,
Mr. Curry sent the girl to the house of Geo. Tay
lor, in Black Log Valley, Huntingdon county, un
til her troubles were over.
Soon after this the alleged conspiracy was set
on foot by Mr. Smith, who it is alleged by Mr.
Curry, was an enemy of his and desired to injure
him. Smith heard in some way of the girl's re
treat and came down to Huntingdon, employed
Thos. Chaplin, a colored barber of this town, who
was acquainted with the girl to drive hint out to
Taylor's ; when he found the girl, he took her be
fore a Justice of the Peace and had her make in
formation charging the Rev. Mr. Curry with a
number of crimes against social order. He then
returned to his home in Martinsburg, Blair coun
ty, and employed a constable there to arrest Mr.
Curry, (the ietails of the case need not be given
here). A number of facts, however, were adduced
tending to show that the prosecution of Mr. Curry
was brought for malicious purposes and for the
purpose of blackmailing Mr. Curry and it was
actually proven by a neighbor of Mr. Curry's that
the girl had been seen in flagrante delict I. on the
streets of Altoona with another man, at the time
'he charges Mr. Curry with criminal conduct.
The jury in this case were out 24 hours, at the
end of which time they announced to the Court
that there was no hope of their agreeing upon a
verdict and were discharged. The whole case will,
therefore, have to he tried again. The result of
this suit has started a contruversey in Altoona as
to how the jury stood ; as it is rumored that Mr.
Curry is to ba tried in Blair county next week.
A case of wanton cruelty to animals was called
up on Wednesday evening. The defendant, Geo.
L. Smith, was charged with setting a dog upon a
neighbor's hog and preventing its escape ere the
dog had nearly killed the hog. The jury acquit
ted Smith and divided the costs between hi .3 and
Michael Dell, the prosecutor.
. . . . .
Asahel Evans was next convicted of fornication
and bastardy un the oath of Mary A. Shilling.
This casa was followed by another of the same
class but which was of a peculiar nature. The
defendant, Michael Brenneman, was a widower,
'owning a farm adjoining the farm of Major 'Lent
myer in Porter township, and is about 50 years of
age. The proseciarix is a grass-widow, having a
husband living near Marklesburg, in Penn town
ship. Before Brenneman could be convicted it
was necessary to show by evidence other than the
testimony of the husband or wife that they had no
possible access to each other. The evidence seem
ed a little weak on this point and the jury acquit
ted Mr. Brenneman but saddled the costs of the
prosecution upon him.
A case of forcible entry and 'detainer followed,
in which George Pearsol, a quasi tenant of John
Dougherty's was prosecutor, and Michael J. Mar
tin and others were defendants. This suit arose
from a race between Mr. Martin and Mr. Dough
erty for a piece of vacant coal land on the Broad
Top, the winning of which seemed to depend upon
whoever could erect and occupy the first improve
ments upon the land. When the land was discov
ered to be vacant, Mr. Martin set men to work to
scrape the snow off the rocks and lay the founda
tion of a house. Mr. Dougherty with his tenant
Pearsol, put up a house about the same time in
the incredibly short space of a day and in the ev
ening they eat supper in it. Martin and his men,
the defendants in the case, warned Pearsol that he
had taken first occupation of the land and ordered
Pearsol to leave. Pearsol refusing, they tore the
house down in his presence, cut the timbers in
pieces, and with a match furnished by Pearsol him
self they set fire to the ruins.
The jury rendered a verdict on Friday morning
of not guilty, and that the prosecutor pay the costs,
The case of the Commonwealth vs. Joseph Mc-
Carland Wm. Bailey, indicted for larcency of some
Hour and hams from the mill of Thos. M. Logan,
at Mapleton, in June 1877, excited some interest
from the fact that for more than 8 months after
the larcency, no trace of the thieves could be dis
covered and the only evidence which did then turn
up consisted of the alleged confessions of McCarl
one of the defendants. A little merriment was
created when the prosecutor was cross-examined,
as to how many of the citizens of Mapleton he sus
pected of the larcency, and it appeared that he had
examined under search warrant nearly every house
in the town !
President Judge
No evidence whatever, of guilt was produced
against Bailey. The jury acquitted bath of the
defendants.
On Friday at noon, the case of the Common
wealth vs. David Lutz, indicted for Arson, was
called up. This is, by far, the most important
case that has been tried in this county since the
Reese case, and has . xcited about as much inter
est as that case. The trial of thi. °as- lasted from
Friday noon until Wednesday morning of this
week, when the jury retired to their room, and af
ter remaining out a short time returned and ren
dered a verdict of not guilty, and saddled the costs
upon the county.
WOULDN'T RECIPROCATE.—The ful low
ing, from the Fairfield (Me.) Chronicle, is
neatly done, and has wide application outside
of Maine. lie was the manager of a church
fair, and one morning he walked into the
nen spaper office, and said ;
" , Want an item this morning?"
"Of course," replied the editor. Whereupon
th, visitor laid the following note upon the
table :
The ladies of the-Street Church will give a
festival at their vestry hall, next Friday evening.
Literary and musical entertainments will be pro
vided, and a supper will be served to all who
desire. The ladies in charge of the affair have
much experience in such matters, and are sure to
provide a good time. The admission will be only
fifteen cents, and it is certain that no one san
spend that amount to a better advantage. Be
sure and go, and take your friends.
When the editor read it, he said :
"0, I see ; an advertisement."
"No; not an advertisement. We prefer to
have it in the local column," replied the man
_And seeing that the editor looked skeptical,
he continued :
"It will interest a great many of your read
ers, and help a good cause ; besides, we have
spent so much money getting up our enter
tainment, that we cannot afford to advertise it
without increasing the tickets. In such a
matter as this, we ought to be able to help
each other."
"Well," said the editor, "if it goes into the
locals, I suppose you would reciprocate by
reading a little notice in your church, next
Sunday ?"
The visiting brother asked what notice, and
the editor wrote the following:
The Weekly Chronicle, for the coming year, will
be the best and cheapest family paper in Maine.
Its proprietor has had much experience, and has
all the helps which a large outlay of money can
procure. His paper has a larger circulation than
any other published in the county, and is to be
furnished at only $2. It is certain that no one
can spend that amount to a better advantage. Be
sure to take the Chronicle and subscribe for your
friends.
The manager hemmed and hesitated, and
then said,solemnly, that he "doubted whether
it would be judicious to read such a notice ;"
suggested that, if it was printed, copies of it
might be distributed at the door of the vestry
on the evening of the entertainment.
"Yes," said the editor, "but it would attract
more attention in the middle of a sermon. It
will interest a large number of your congre
gation and help a good cause, and besides. so
much money is spent upon the Chronicle that
I don't see how the owner can afford to print
handbills to advertise it without increasing
the subscription price. In such a matter as
this we ought to be willing to help each other."
Then the manager saw the situation, and
withdrew.
