Both you and Mr. Lamade have been convicted In this Court, by your own confession of a most wicked and malicious libel. From the evidence as shown to the Court by statement of Counsel and your. selves, you were publishers of a publica. tion, I will not call it & newspaper but a publication, termed The Sunday Grit, pub- lished in the city of Willismsport. What the reistive character of your paper ls, compared with the true press, we know not: But from what we bave learned in this ease, it occurs to us that it is an ex- crescence upon the true and honest news paper press of the country. There is a protection given to the printing press by the Constitution of this Commonwealth ; and in order that you may know what it is, I will read it for your information, The printing press shall be free to every sedings of the. Laghiatare of any bid si ernment, an ro law shall to restrain the right thereof, The free communication of thoughts and opinions Is one of the valuable rights of man, and every citizen may freely pas, write and print on any su sponsible for the abuse of that Ii i | | | | each insertion. | pr { the | putes to ui { him lisble 2} distr | Prayer the country. a | Library and | | ith ui | wight to | r ] od town we cannot ¢ | direction of the tourt, as in other oases, If this prosecutor had been su citizen of f. public capacity, or occupying public of on {f Je in question which you | { floe, or if the artic 1 i | {eights above town, Came neross sn ¢ WAS | tghell, {to Major bitshod had been such a ona na asanry for public information i negligently pit 1 your ne RIG Mt or untrue that your ticle wad true, feation was not or mails Lh¢ ously mada you could not have been con- | & victed., You, ss editors of this papar, cere tainly know this provision of the law; yon knew Mr. Plorpont was a private eltizen of this town; you knew he was not occupy - ing any office, and that he was not befure 1 putiie in Any Capacily; BL you : | o attack him in his privad 1 1 his private relation in a most maliciou The ates, that the rumor had Mr diately before the marriage of bis daug! o Mr, and that he found iru also pub jshed bon ds. his father dn’ manner articie you i n invested | by Re Who nw, imma.

You took occasion also to forward potlers Lo Altoona, the piace where Mr Pierpont soon expected to move, in order to bring him before the public in the com- munity, and since your arrest you have per. sisted in publishing the sawe article, and in the same edition alluding to your arrest, have caused it to be circulated taroughout With such conduct we have no patlence. It is right that the press should be free; and when you speak of the freedom of the press, that freedom must be confined to a legitimate sphere. The press bas a right to investigate public off cisls, and public conduct, and the press anid that wn, freely, setting fortu a life, with which highly derance that not Lhe has a right freely and without his to give expressions upon everyihing relates to the public ; but i right to abuse that liberty; snd the mo. has ment that the press steps beyond this limi lit is as liable as any citizen would be for This ould not be invoked ye publ ication of = libel nstito- tional i vour case, as this i» an attemt to destroy provisi LER forever the character and reputation of » It is known 0 vou, and private citizen. known to us all, that in a majority of cases the only capital & man bas in this world, for rectitade, is his reputation and his charscter honesty, for integrity sad for yet without any provocation you sought to stiact this private character and tear it down. We might also say further that the article itself, upon is very fae im ports malice. In shows it was maliciously done and for the sole purpose of creating scandal in the community, snd Lo laeresse the sale of your publication in the locality, with which you connect the scandal. It seems to the court that this is the charac. ter of the publication you imue weekly You do not undertake to give legitimate news, which would be proper for public information, but rather to stir up scandal iz & community, and scatter it abroad over the land. We intend that in Centre Couns ty that shall be stopped right here. In the case of Geo. W. Rienhard the sens tence of the Court is that you, Goerge W. Rienhard pay to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the use of the County of Centre a fine of $1000, that you pay the costs of prosecution in this case, and that you undergo an imprisonment in the jail of Centre County for a period of six month, and that you stand committed un- til this sentence is complied with, In the case of Commonwealth ve, De. trick Lamade, owing to the peculiar con- dition of your family we will permit you to enter into your reconizance to be ap. proved by the Court in the sum of $5000, conditioned for your appearance in this Court on thh second Monday ia June next, providing the same be entered now, M. E. Andrews after justifying in the amount of $6000, entered bail for the appearance of Deiteiex Lamade on the second Monday of June next. a ——— IO— Pirrsncnon, May 3.—There is every indication that a general strike will be ordered in the Conpelleville coke re A War Relic Explodos.

The Tragedy near Williamsburg Samuel Hale, the unfortunate man who was kille | by his young son’ at | his ho 1 e nar Williamsburg early on Sunday worning, was buried in the Methodist cemetery at the latter place Mjoday eveniog. The Grand Army of the Republic bad charge of the burial. The account of the shooting telegraphed by our regular correspon- dent at Williamsburg seems to have been substantially correct. The boy wid a geotleman who interviewed him soon after the shooting that his friber had compelled him to take two drinks; that he was drunk and did not know what be was doing; that he took the gun and was blowing in the muzzle to see if It was loaded) that be had the gun cocked and took out the ramrod, which be was trying to Pe place, when it slipped down against the trigger and the gon went off and killed his father. At the time of this interview the boy was still visibly under the Influence of liquor. Another gentleman residing in Williamsburg, who was in the city yesterday, claims that the boy was with bis friher in the town on Satur- day night sod both were drunk. Ac cording to bim, the boy says he had drunk some of the liquor in the morn- ing snd was drunk. He bad tried ineffectually to arouse his father and thought it would be a good joke to waken him by discharging the con. tents of the gun across the bed snd out of the open window. Just as he was in the act of dolog this, his father raised up aod received the load in his head. Hale was a quarrelsome man when in liquor, and is mid to have | meeting with Schosebele in good faith, | being ignorant of the Laipsic edict of | the previous day. “A detective casual. ly asked me,” he said, “whether I had | seen Schoaebale lately. I replied that {I bad not, but was going to see him. |I was surprised the pext day, on | goink to the appointed meeting place, | to see Schoaebeie coming towsrd me in custody" I ordered the goards to | release him, but they refused to do #0 | and arrested me also, until they Sound that I was thé Commissary, when they released me. I lefi because I did not care to interfere in a matter decided upon by the high Courts. I have always been on the best terms with Schnaebele, who has rendered me many services.” Gautsch was angry at the manver in which Schoaebele was entrapped.
