A number of our marksmen express great dissatisfaction at the rules governing the use of sites in the ensuing shooting match in this place. They are opiiosed to :my one using globe or "peep" sites, contending that they are at great advantage over the plain open sites. Unless every marksman agrees to use the plain open sites, a great many of our local marksmen will not participate in the match. An important ejectment case, in which our townsmen, D. Blair, esq., and the Fisher Bro.'s Dr. It. A. aliller,were in terested,was tried in the Courts of Clearfield county last week. The case was that of Ilegarty,Blairet al vs. Fisher Bro.'s Miller, of this place, and Berwiud, White & Co., of Philadelphia, to recover four hundred acres of coal laud in that county, said to be worth over $lOO,OOO. The jury rendered a verdict on Saturday in favor of the defendants: - Arapahoe Tribe, 1. 0. of It. M., which has been in existence in this place for the past ten or a dozen years, disbanded, a week or so ago, and the members made a "divy" of a considerable sum of wampum that had ac cumulated in the treasury. We arc.iuformed that the divy amounted to about $5O to each member, aggregating, in the whole something over sl,ouo. With a treasury in such a healthy condition we sec no reason why the organization should go by the board. The Huntingdon correspondent ofthe Altoona TriLune, in speaking of the prosecution against Geo. Lagle fur selling beer to minors and in less quantities than Otte tif•allon, asserts that which is not true when he says thz - it, the ac tion was brought lie the Good Templar Lodge. We are requested by a prominent member of the Lodge to say that the Good Templars had nothing to do with the prosecution in any way whatever, and funlier, that if that organiza tion had the cost to pay the amount would not "'bust' the lodge." This is only one of the many falsehoods usually found ia this currespoudent's scribblings to that paper. Mrs. M. T.

Any informa tion concerning him will be thankfully re ceived by his wife. Other papers please copy. j..'.,. cw 1.1 r.~~u~~~'t+- 4 1,11" cd with ril.,ers Charles Bricker testified to about the same state of facts. lie had assisted probably twenty times in emptying kegs by the wayside and under the trees, and frequently saw boys of 16 to 20 years doing the same ; he Lad drank in Lagle's house full halfa dozen times, and the drinking generally resulted in all parties feelieg "pretty good," i. e. getting drunk. lVitness refused to say whether he had purchased kegs of beer and furnished it to minors for fear of criminating himself, and for the same reason he refused to state whether he had purchased beer for a crowd of boys ; but he always assured Lagle that there were no minors to drink the beer. John Hoffman testified to drinking a keg of beer in Lagle's house, and Lad also bought beer to drink with outside parties. Never knew Lagle to furnish to minors. John Swivel, a boy of eighteen, testified to drinking beer across the river, which was procured from Lagle's brewery by sending some one over age for it. Never bought any himself, but knew of Philip Brener, a minor, going for a keg and getting it. Philip Bruner, aged eighteen, admitted pur chasing a number of kegs of beer from Lagle, but stated that the first purchases were made for his father, upon a written order, end after wards upon a verbal order, his father having instructed Lagle to let Philip have the beer whenever he came for it without a written order. Oa one occasion, however, when in company with three other boys across the river, a dollar was raised among them for beer, and Philip volunteered to get it, which Le did by telling Lagle that he had been sent. for it by his father and the cigar makers. On another occasion he drank a glass of beer at Lagle'e, but it was handed to him by his father while Legle's back was turned to him. Juices Lloyd, a youth of nineteen, testified that he had often purchased beer at Lagle's, and drank it at the house, and along the road with the crowd. On cross examination James stated that Lagle refused at first to sell beer to him because he was a minor, but by coax ing be got it. \VilliTtrn Wertz and William Decker testified to about the sane state of facts es the first witness. Abner Lloyd testified that while he was living with Lagle as a member of his family he purchased beer from him by the quart.— On cross examination he didn't remember if he paid the money for the beer or for some thing else. This closed the testimony of the Common wealth. Mr. Lagle took the stand iu his own behalf, and denied that he had ever sold any beer to James Lloyd, or any other minor ex cepting to Philip Bruner for his father, and any that was purchased from him tOr use by minors was obtained by fraud. lie produced a book containing the names of all individuals who had purchased beer from him since las: Alarch. It showed twenty-four kegs sold for use across the river on Decoration Day, and thirteen sold for use in town. As to Abner Lloyd's testimony, Lagle said it was false, and instigated by a feeling of revenge. Mr. P. M. Lytle conducted the defense and Mr. Orlady the prosecution. The first atid sixth counts in the indictment have been Judie proned on motion of the Dis trict Attorney, and no conviction is urged upon them. A conviction is sought upon the second count, and also upon the third and fifth counts, whic't may be treated as one. It does not matter whether liquor be sold or furnished to minors ; if it lm lane wilfully it is the offense prohibited by law, so that these two counts really charge the same offense. The fourth count is immaterial, because the offense charged in it is included in the second. The first question for you to determine is, did Mr. Lagle, the defendant, sell without license ? From the evidence it is clearly established that he is and has been for several years a brewer in this county, and it is admit ted that he is licensed as a brewer by the County Treasurer. Under this license he has a right to sell the product of his brewery in quantities not less than a gallon. Ile would not have a right under it to buy beer at another place and sell it there, or to sell quantities less than a gallon. If he did so he sold without license. iepart tite tui4i of Iho t'itNe UI the iotato.o,wealtit vs. Itobi ri Yocum, on Wr,l,- !iesilay last.

The case of the Commonwealth vs. George T.agle was the nest and last case tried. Mr. I.ttle i,z tlie owner of a brewery in Walker township, at the north side of the hill across the river front this town. The indictment contained six counts, charging the defendant with keeping and maintaining a place where liquor was sold; selling without license ; to minors; selling liquor in quantities less than a gallon ; furnishing liquor to tito.- nors,and selling to persons visibly intoxicated. Two of the counts were nolie prossed however for want of consistence, and the others merged into two general charges of furnishing to minors and selling in quantities less than a gallon. As the case is one in which all order loving, not to say temperance people, are in terested, we ;;;Ive a brief resume of the testi- Hi (WV Andrew Wighaman, the first witness called for the Commonwealth,testified that he bought beer of 4r. Lade at his brewery very fre quently during the past summer, purchasing a he at a time, paying $1.25 for the beer ; that the modus operandi was, that himself and four or five companions would each contribute a quarter; then the witness, who was twenty two years of age and therefore not a minor, would generally go to the brewery for the I,,er, a spigot and a Class, while the rest of the company would go down into the thicket field and await the return of the • it:} t Frequehtly there were T;ic crowd. too this net; was con iro) I,n,r!e. IThe beer would be ,lrank in tke or .I:on , z the road be tween thq.brewery aqd the tee hoAse. Sottae- tinier the beer would be purchased and drank at Mr. I.4 , gle's house when no minors were along . . Lagle was always careful to ask the purchasers if there were any minors in the party, and was always assured that there were not. Ltigle, however, did not go out to the thicket to see who were to drink the beer.— Witness had seen •lots" of drinking about the neighborhood in the woods, the thicket and along the roadside, by boys and young men, and had seen them all pretty "full." On cross examination the witness stated that Mr. Lagle was the most careful man he ever knew in selling beer; that from his observation be did not believe he ever knowingly furnished it to minors. Judge Dean charged the jury as follows : Gtztlenten of the Jury: The defendant is ndieted under six counts, viz : Ist. Keeping. and maintaining a place wllere liquor was sold. 2nd. Selling without license. :W. Selling to minors. 4th. Selling iu quantities less than one gal .oll. 5111. Furnishing to minors. Gtii. Selling to persons visibly affected. It is alleged here by the Commonwealth , from the testimony of Abner Lloyd, that he sold in quantities less than a gallon to him ; that he gave him a quart and charged him 15 cents for it. On the other hand, it is denied by the defendant that he ever sold to Abner Lloyd, and it is urged further that Lloyd's testimony is not of that positive nature upon which you could rest a verdict. You have heard the testimony of Abner Lloyd and that of the defendant. if the evidence should EatislY you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did sell a quantity less final a gallon, then he should be convicted upon the second count. If, on the other hand, you have a reasonable doubt as to whether he did sell in quantities less than a gallon, you should give him the benefit of the doubt and acquit him of the charge preverred in that count of the indictment. The next question for you is as to the charge contained in the third and fifth counts in the indictment; selling or furnishing to minors. The Act of Assembly prohibiting . the furnishing of liquors to minors and ma king it an indictable offense, reads as follows: furnishing intoxicating drinks by sale, gift, or otherwise, to any person of known intemperate habits, to a minor, or to an insane person for use as a beverage, shall be held and deemed a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof the defendant shall be sen tenced to a fine and imprisonment, &c." Here are three classes, you will notice, to whom liquor is forbidden by law. The reasons which moved the Legislature to enact this prohibitory Taw as to minors are very apparent. intemperat.c2 deemed by the Legislature great evil. The appetite for strong drink is must rcailily formed during minority, and the law sought to stop the breeding of drunk ards by prohibiting the sale of it to minors ; thus placing it out of the reach of those of tender years. It classes them with insane persiii, and men of intemperate Labits ; and no one can wilfully furnish to either of these classes intoxicating liquors to be drank as a beverage. without violating the law. A father caNnot authorize a sale to his child any more than a eommittue of a lunatic can authorize a Sale to a mailman, or a wire authorize a sale to her eottish husband. Neither of these could, by their permission, in effect repeal a plain statute which absolutely forbids the wilful furnishing to either of these classes. Mr. Lagle, the defendant, furnished liquor to the young man Bruner, knowing he was under age, to be used by him as a beverage. Bruner'a father carnot relieve hint front the responsi bility of hip violation of the law. But if his father sem him there to carry beer home to hini, then the defendant would not be respon sible. The father has a right to send his son to carry home a keg of beer, and the seller ought not to be convicted for giving the keg to the son to carry to the father, hut neither the father nor any other living man can re lieve a man who sells liquor from responsi bility for furnishing beer to a minor to be used as a beverage by the minor. A man who undertakes to sell liquor under the law, either as a brewer selling the pro— ducts of his brewery, or as a hotel keeper selling from behind his bar, is bound to exec. else watchfulness and care in carrying on his avocation so that he does not violate the law. lie must take all the precaution and exert ell• the vigilance which a prudent man can take or exert. If he fail in so doing, and by reason of his negligence the law is violated, he is criminally responsible. The sale or furnish ing must be wilful ; but if he furnishes to one over age, not knowing or caring that it was to be carried a few steps from his premises and there drank by boys, that would be such neg ligence as s:iould warrant you in finding the sale wilful ; or if he inquired for whom the purchase was made and it was falsely told him it was not for minors, yet he knew the statement to be a lie, or with the exercise of ordinary prudence might have known it to be a lie, you would be warranted in holding him responsible criminally. The law is not to be set aside or evaded by any trick or sham or denial not calculated to deceive a prudent MOM. [Tice Court here reviewed briefly the evi dence in the ca,e, which will be found above, and called attention to \that was chtimed fur and against it by the counsel.] The Commonwealth i 1• bound, before a con viction can be had for any particular sale, to prove that it was made within two years be fore the finding of the bill. The Act of Limi tation would relieve the defendant from any prosecution fur a sale beyond two years from ' the first day of this term—the day upon which the bill was found. * * * You have heard the evidence on the part of the Com monwealth and on the part of the defendant bearing on this charge of furnishing to minors, and you have heard the arguments. If the defendant did not wilfully furnish to minors he should not be convicted • or if you have a reasonable doubt as to whether he wilfully furnished to minors he is entitled to the bene fit of the doubt and an acquittal. If he in good faith exercised all the care and watch fulness which a prudent man should have ex ercised under the circumstances to avoid a violation of the law, the furnishing would not be wilful. lie would not be necessarily crim inally responsible if liquor sold by him to a man of full age was taken by the purchaser and given to boys a short distance from his house. The measure of care taken is a ques tion fur you, and you should judge of it iu the light of all the circumstances surrounding the case ; the character of the purchasers ; the frequency with which the purchases were made ; the habit of the defendant ; the nature of his employment. All these facts are to b e taken into consideration by you in determin ing whether lie exercised that measure of care and watchfulness which a prudent man should have exercised under the circumstance. If be did, he is not criminally responsible. Bet, if he knew, or if acting with prudence and cau tion he ought to have known that the man who asked for the liquor was only pretending to be the purchaser, while the real purchasers and consumers were boys awaiting outside, the furnishing would in either case bewilful and you would be warranted in so finding. The whole question is one on the evidence for you. Did he sell without license, as we have already instructed you, by selling less than a gallon ? If so you will find him guilty on the second count ; if not, you should acquit him on that count. Did he wilfully furnish liquor to minors to be used as a beverage ? It he did and you have no reasonable doubt of his guilt, you should find him guilty on that count. If you have a reasonable doubt as to his guilt upon either count, lie is enti tied to the benefit of the doubt and an acquit tal. [no Court concluded with the usual instructiozs respecting the disposition of costs.] • • After an al,:v!nee of about two hours the jury came ink() Court, and rendered their ver dict, which was that they "found the de fendant not guiity, and that the costs of the prosecution be divided equally between the defendant and the prosecutor, Dr. E. C. Stock ton." When Prothonotary Williamson announced the verdict a great many of the spectators shouted and cheered to the tops of their voices, and amid the clapping of hands and stamping of feet the unruly crowd broke for the door. Judge Miller, who was presiding in the ab sence of Judge Dean, was powerless to pre serve order, and the outbreak was so general that it was impossible to single out any par ticular person for arrest. such demonstta dons are entirely out of place in a Court room, and t:eserve the severest condemnation of all good citizens. ANOTHER SWINDLE NIPPED IN THE BUD.—in our issue of the ith inst., we pub lished an advertisement of the "Denver Land Company," which we received from a - New York Agency, accompanied by the necessary amount of cash to pay for its insertion for foul. weeks. Last week, just before going to press, we received notice trout the gentleman who sent us the advertisement to stop its pub lication for the reason that the Government had stopped all letters addressed to the "Den ver Land Company," and tLat some of the "company" had been arrested. At the time we inserted the advertisement we little thought that we were assisting a gang of scoundrels in their attempt to swindle the public, but recent events go to prove that the • , Denver Land Company" i 3 composed of a gang of villains who ought to be picking okum iu some State prison. The following, from a Denver dispatch, under date of Novem ber Bth, will expose this latest swindle in all its magnitude : _ . . "Sidney A. Grant, late of Cincinnati, and A. F. Wilson, were arrested 'to-day for con ducting fraudulent schemes through the mails under the name of the "Denver Laud Com pany," and taken before the United States Commissioner. They waved an examination and were committed, bonds not being given, and probably will go to jail. The scheme was planned in Cincinnati. St3reotyped plates were prepared and have already been inserted iu over eight hundred first-class newspapers and periodicals in the northern, eastern and middle States. Grant came to Denver to se cure land fur the purpose, and bought nearly a thousand acres in Sand Hills, forty miles north of Denver in another county, which was plotted as North Denver. Although known here but eight days, a perfect avalanche of mail has been coming for S. A. Grant, and the "Denver Land Company." The fraud was denounced by local newspapers and bitterly condemned by citizens. The postmaster re ported to the department, and last night re• calved orders to deliver no registered letters or pay no money orders to Grant. The arrest was made by Special Agent H. Hall. Special Agent Furey is also here and asks the depart ment to grant an order to withhold ordinary letters.' The advertisement refered to has appeared in over six hundred first-class papers in this country within the past three weeks, and we have no doubt many of their rootlets have been defrauded out of their money. We hope no r2ader of the JOURNAL, was so unfortunate as to send their money to these sharks upon the representation of their advertisement. Now that the fraud has been exposed, and their mail matter withheld, they can commit no further wrongs. Since the above was written we have re ceived a copy of the Denver daily Times, sent us by our friend and patron, W. W. Borst, esq., General Agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Co., with headquarters at Denver, which contains a detailed account of the frauds committed, and those intended to be committed, by this •organization of scoundrels. It confirms all that is eontained in the above extract and warns the public against dealing with illegitimate land compa nies. We thank our friend Borst for his kind ness in sending us an expose of this gigantic fraud and swindle.

CLIPPINGS FROM "Ora PAPER " From friend I.lcli , e's paper we clip the follow ing : Or. Stever scooped four coons one night last week. Rev. E. Shoemaker has been carrying on an interesting revival at Cassvillc. There has been a number of conversions. Scott IV°Hard has completed a drift of over fifty feet in length to one of the veins of fossil ore on K. L. (reene's laud. The vein where be struck it is 211 inches. Clay township was represented at the late Court with a batch of nasty Commonwealth cases. The 'Squires of this region could serve their calling as well by refusing law in such cases ; and thereby save money to our county. Simon Price, of Clay township, while out hunting the other day came up with some wild turkeys, lie took aim at the only one he saw and tired, the shot taking the desired ef fact ; but imagine his surprise when on coming to where his game was, instead of there being one, there lay two dead turkeys, both shot through the head, and the third one flopping about badly crippled. On the Ist inst., while Dutton Lane and Al fred Wilde were engaged in quarrying lime stone in Springfield township, a portion of the rock overhead gave way falling on the young men. Young Wible had his thigh broken, but Lane escaped with a few bruises. The fracture was reduced by Dr. Stever. The young men were doing well at last accounts. A short time since some of the gentry who follow ways that are dark and tricks that are Tile, passed through Well's Valley ostensibly disposing of certain agencies. They succeeded in "scooping" a farmer who innocently signed the papers offered; but fortunately for him, a short time after the "general agents" had gone, it was discovered that his signature in the case, wonld require him at some time in the future to pay $3O dollars for which he would not receive value. Pursuit was in stituted and the scoundrels overtaken, and they reluctantly surrendered the papers. It becomes our people to be on the lookout for unscrupulous scoundrels who are resorting to every conceivable means to defraud the honest and unsuspecting,. We again caution our readers against signing papers to go into the hands of strangers. STATE TAXES.—We have received from Auditor General Schell a little pamphlet front which we dip the following piece of informa tion for county commissioners and assessors : "Heretofore the assessment of personal prop erty, especially monies at interest, in many of the counties have been carelessly and negli gently made. Nearly all of the requirements of the law have been disregarded. It may be safely estimated that at least one half of the monies at interest subject to taxation for State purposes have not been reached by the assessors. This should not be so. The fol lowing is a brief list of the property and things taxable : Mortgages, money owing by solvent debtors, articles of agreement and ac counts bearing interest, public loans on stocks (except those issued by State or U. S.), all vehicles used for transporting passengers, all annuities over $2OO, all personal property, all watches, household furniture over $3OO in value, pleasure carriages, all real estate not. exempt by law, horses and cattle, salaries and emoluments of office, professions, trades, oc cupations (except farmers), single' freemen over 21 years who do not follow any occupa tion. The law will be strictly enforced in every instance, as the Board of Public Ac counts have had their attention called to gross negligence in this matter. Under its provisions no evasion can be made of a full payment of all the taxes required, and asses sors are especially admonished that a strict account must be given." SHIRLEY SQUIBS.- Mrs. Douglass is haring a tin roof put on her house. 'Rev. Strayker, of the Baptist church,has re moved from here to his farm }leer Saltillo. The E. B. T. R. R. Co., has filled the trest tling at Aughwick with cinder from the fur naces. A dwelling house in Shirley township, be longing to G. W. Cogley, and occupied by John McNite, was destroyed by fire on Thurs day of last week. The fire was caused by a defective flue. Mr. McNite only saved three beds. The house was fully insured. Oa Saturday afternoon a small boy was found wandering on the railroad track between Mt. Union and Mapleton, hatless and shoe less. He was taken to the former place, and when interrogated said that his name was Hamilton, and that his parents resided in Newton Hamilton. lie stated that his mother lied gone to Mapleton on the train, and he undertook to follow her on foot, but after go ing some distance he lost his way and was picked up as above stated. Ile was put on board a train and sent to Newton, but a dis patch from that place said that no family by the name of Hamilton resided there. We don't know what become of He youthful voyager. 808. DEATH OF HENRY CONPROBST.—We are sorry to chronicle the death of our old and highly esteemed friend, Henry Conprobst, of Stone Creek, which oEcurred on Thursday evening of last week, after a somewhat pro tracted and painful illness. The deceased was a native of this county, and was well known in this community as an honest, industrious and energetic citizen.— For a number of years he was a citizen of this town and was engaged in business here, but latterly he was engaged in the flouring busi ness at the mill bearing his name on Stone Creek, in Barree township. Few men in his sphere of life have been more generally known or esteemed for their amiable disposition, general hospitality and jovial companionship, and few will be more missed in the commu nity where for almost three score years and ten he has gone in and out before them, his name being as familiar as a household word, and where he has ever maintained his integ rity as an honest man, a good citizen, a kind and affectionate parent and one of whom it might be truthfully said none knew but to praise. He leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss. FOUR. ARRESTS UNDER TUE TRAMP ACT.-On Friday of last week Railroad Po liceman Beegle arrested four able-bodied tramps who had been loafing about the sta tion and about town for a week. A few days before they came to Bedford they were driven from Mt. Dallas by the agent at that point.— They loafed along the line, building fires with timber belonging to the railroad, and were becoming a nuisance generally, up to the time of their arrest. The second section of the tramp act provides that any tramp who shall kindle any fire in the highway or on the land of another without consent of the owner thereof, shall, upon conviction, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, or shall be sentenced to undergo an imprisonment by separate or solitary confinement at labor for a period not exceeding three years. The parties arrested had a hearing on Saturday and were com mitted fur trial at December term.—Bedford Gazette. ANOTHER LURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.— As this dreaded disease is prevalent in many sections just now, anything relating to its cure is of interest to the general public. A lady friend, who has had considerable expe rience with the disease, informs us that she has been scccessful in treating it in numer ous instances, both in her own family and in her neighbors' families. When the disease first makes its appearance she saturates a strip of red flannel with kerosene and places it around the neck of the patient, and as the small, white spots or ulcers appear on the tonsils of the throat she removes them by touching each one of them with tincture of iron, which she applies by the aid of a small swab. In every case where the disease was thus treated the patient recovered. The rem edy is a very simple one, and we recommend it to those afflicted with the disease, and who find it inconvenient to call a physician.

CORRESPONDENTS SAY 1! A JIP AST RO Dll ,S.ll. MR. EDITOR :-PCrtilit inn through thcJut7ENTIL to call the atteution of the puhlio to (me of the most disgraceful of human depravity that has e,er the 11,114 of justice in thin place. I refer to Ow dohs , : en •, I t ititt OW .t") i t wea!th vs. he met:, ie they appeered the trial a.),1 nr the . , a I_7( ne,aliy e. , eeedeil, in fact, notorious, in rite neighborh , :od, are about as fol lows A man named tleorge Lagle, who for some years past has been running a brewery under the hill within sight of this place, has within the last few mouths been furnishing nightly to parties of men and boys beer by the ireg, to be drank on his premises, the result of which has been that in all that time there has scircoly be , n a night in the week, Sundays not excepted, that the slumbers of peaceful citizens h are not been interrupted by the orgies of drunken blackguards, and life and prop erty endangered by their presence. Men have stolen the last penny front their needy families, cheated their employers and defrauded their cred itors in order that they might join the nightly revel, and boys, not over 12 and 14 years of age, have been seduced into this maelstrom of destruc tion to be trained for the penitentiary and the gallows. The consequence was an indictment against Lagle, for furnishing liquor to minors, &c., and during the progress of the trial all of the above facts were proven, conceded and acknowl edged, as one after another of the participants took the stand and with unblushing effrontery told the story of their disgrace, and related how they had made liars of themselves in order to ob tain that which converted them into beasts, and yet, after one of the most thorough, able and im partial charges ever delivered in this court, the jury, to the surprise of every one, the counsel for the defendant not excepted, returned a verdict of "not guilty," magnanimously (?) agreeing to di vide the costs equally between the defendant and the prosecutor. Ia regard to this verdict little need be said further than this, that it not only does not reflect the feeling of the better portion of the community, but that it adds one more to the list of those verdicts which are so rapidly bring ing our criminal jurisprudence and the jury sys tem into popular distrust, and causing the system of trial by jury to be looked upon as a senseless farce. The crowning act of blackguardism was reached on the delivery of the verdict, when, re gardless of the surroundings and without any re gard for decency or self respect, cheer after cheer arose from the crowd in attendance, composed of the friends of the defendant, and the active par ticipants in the midnight debauches already re ferred to that have disg7Jc,l our town and out raged decency, as they have been from titne to time fun ished by him with the means of brutali zing themselves, sonic of whom, I have no doubt if Judge Lean had been present, would have been taught at least one lesson in good manners which they might have had occasion to remember. Com ment is unnecessary. It is enough to say that when such scenes can occur and are tot rated it is an indication that mob law is rapidly assuming the ascendency and that it may not be long till we shall have but little room to say anything against the now existing state of affairs in Kemper and Yazoo counties in Mississippi. This verdict, and the manner of its reception, if it means any th ng, means all this. It means that this blot upon the face of humanity shall not be removed ; that this torrent of vice shall not be checked; that the fireside must be invaded anti the house hold desolated; that men who might be useful cit izens shall be converted into companions of row dies and blackguards; that our young man shall be dragged down to ruin with the road to destruc tion marked on every finger-board before their eyes; that our boys, already lost to shame and self respect, and devoid of all manly pride, or sense of honor and reputation, shall go on in a course which leads to crime and disgrace, the midnight brawl and the assassin's bludgeon, until a career began in sunshine shall end in clouds and darkness. :,,uch a verdict practically says to the people of the town, all this anti mere we will com pel you to submit to, and when you attempt to bring to justice the author of all this woe and sor row and disgrace, we will acquit him and send you out of court with the costs on your hack.' We will send him back to that hill in Walker town ship where he may pursue with impunity his ne farious calling, in the broad light of day as well as in the darkness of the midnight hour ; where he may continue to pour -down that stream of liquid poison which breeds sorrow and disgrace as sorely as the miasma of the swamps breeds ph3s io%l disease and death. But then the question arises is not the pro fessedly moral and religious portion of the community largely responsible for all this ? It is by no means strange that such scones should occur in a community where an at tempt to expose conduct which is an outrage upon public sentiment and public decency is an invita tion to columns of abuse from professors of chris tianity against the citizen who refuses to be silent or withold his warning and advice, when the un learned lesson is so often repeated. When minis ters of the gospel in high positions will place themselves upon the record in favor of Sabbath desecration, and become the apologists of drunken ness and profanity,invoking the aid of the Police Gazette and dime sensation novel for language of ridicule and abuse towards those who would venture a word of warning, it is not strange that such scenes should be enacted, and, we may expect a repetition of the same so long as a misguided public sentiment will open up the avenues of drunkenness, profanity and Sabbeth desecration, and the cupidity of even ministers of the gospel shall tempt them indirectly to the encouragement of horse racing, beer drinkinz and dancing. If it were not for the fact that it makes all the differ ence in the world as to whose ox is gored, I have no doubt but a "Veritas," a Mitchell, or some other great apostle of moral suasion would be found ready to apologize for, and denounce any one who would undertake to expose or censure any such conduct, and we may expect a repetition of such scenes from time to time. until an indignant and outraged community shall rise in its might and teach such offenders, peaceably if possible, but forcibly if necessary, that the law is not a dead letter; that the day for mere preaching on this subject has passed, and that this blot and stain on the face of society must and shall be wiped out. CIVLS, FROM the Rockport, Ind., Bqnner.— There is no medicine in the world which has gained such fame as ST. JACOBS OIL ; this is, however, not in the least astonshing, when we consider its truly wonderful curative powers. Mr. F. ltodenberg, of Grandview, called at our office last week and related the following cir cumstances : I suffered with Rheumatism for over six years; consulted many physicians and tried hundreds of remedies, ,but without avail. Having seen ST. Jaeoss OIL advertised in your paper, and heard of some most as, tonishing cures, I sent to Rockport for a bot tle of the oil, and used it according. to direc tions. The relief I felt was almost "electric." I got better at once, and now there is not a trace of Rheumatism left in my body. Cti DDEN DEATII OF MRS. M YTON.—This community was shocked and surprised, on Saturday last, at the intelligence of the death of Mrs. John B. Myton, of Barree township. Mrs. Myton was on a visit to a daughter i u Colorado at the time of her death, and the sad news was telegraphed to this place, and at once communicated to the bereaved hus band, who was shocked by its sad import. The deceased was the daughter of our old friend JL,sialt Cunningham, and her many friends in this town and county will be pain ed to hear of her death. We sympathize with her husband and children in their bereave ment. A SINGLE man named Chaney, and a married woman named Mrs. Foster,accompanied by two children, who vegetate in the Broad Top re. gion, were arrested in this place, on "Wednes - day night, and lodged in jail, on the charge of running away. They were taken before Judge Miller on a habeas corpus on Thursday morning, but as we closed our forms before the case was disposed of we are unable to give the result. We make the prediction just here, that one of these days some of our officers will get themselves into trouble by arrest ing and imprisoning persons without law or warrant. A GOOD APPOINTMENT.—Our young friend, Tommy Africa, for the last five and a half years deputy postmaster in this place, has been appointed to the more lucrative po sition of Assistant Railway Postoffice Clerk between New York City and Pittsburgh. While we are glad that Tommy has been giv en a position that will pay him better than his old one, we are sorry to lose him from the delivery window of the postoffice where he always greeted visitors with a smile and pleasant words, Our loss is his gain, and we are pleased that it is so. HUMBUGGED AGAIN.—I Saw So much said about the merits of Bop Bitters, and my wife who was always doctoring, and never well, teased me so urgently to get her some, concluded to be humbugged again.; and I am glad 1 did, fur in less than two months use of the Bitters my wife was cured and she has remained so for eighteen months since. I like such humbugging.-11.

James T. Fields contributes a charming poew, entitled "A New and True Ghost Story." In fiction, besides the three great serial novels by Black, Blackmore, and Miss Mulock, there is a very strong short story by Rose Terry Cook. Without reference to thecontents of the Editor's Easy Chair, the criticisms of new books, of the Drawer, we may safely pronounce this December Number of Harper the must varied as well as the most beautiful Number of the year.; "Peterson's Magazine" for December is on our table in advance, and is a marvel of beauty, even for "Peterson."

Then there is a treble-sized colored pattern, in Berlin work, for an Ottoman, or Chair Seat, a Chistmas gift given extra, to the sub scribers of "Peterson." The literary contents are even better than usual, and this is saying a great deal; Mrs. Frances Hodgson Barnett, Mrs. Ann S.
