ave indidged in , quarrelsome habits for
years past, and of late bad added hard
• , *lairing to that habit. Sometime in last,
arch, he with five or six of his drinking
companions were at ' a house in the
borough, of rather low repute, Ind
ing in a dance on Saturday - evening. The ulg

man who was their fiddler refused, when
twelve o'clock came, to play for them'

*tray break up the dance. A part wish
ing to continue it a quarrel took place on
the spot. The quarrel terminated the
dance at the 4. house, and the party dis'•
persed going up street to their homes.' It
appeared from the evidence that Brown
and Stewart, who were of the party, way
laid the fiddler at the corner of a street
and when he passed, the night hang
dark, BrOwn threw a' brick bat at him
which hit hini on the head and felled him
to the pavement., His skull was fractured
by the blow. This was not known
however, by the parties who remained
with him, and a few 'young men who
came to their relief. They supposing
him not badly injured, after having
washed the blood,from his head took him
to a tavern rind put him. to bed, leailng
him alone till'morning. In the morning
he was found dead, and the physicians
thought that he must have died soon after
he was placed in bed. There are the cir
cumstances. The trial which followed
resulted in sending Brotin to the Penir
tentiary for eleven years.
Mercer, for opening her liquor shops,
had to have the blood of an immortal be
ing spilled on her pavement, and to incar
cerate a boy in State Prison for eleven
long years. This' fearful warning I*
had its effect upon the people, and they,
have closed the rum holes again, by the
strong arm of the law. '

'A Hair Thief bisgulsed as a Female.
The Nashville Press and Times tells the
fdllowing singular story: "They have 'a
genuine sensation out here at Bell's Sta
tion, a little townon the Louisville-and
;Memphis Railroad. About a week ago,

'herself' Miss Ellen Barnard, made her
appearance in the villdge for the purpose
of initiating the ladies into the Rnysiterles.

- An action was brought in the Court of
queen's Bench, London, recently, against
a telegraph company for recovery' of a
loss occasioned by a telegrem. Some
amusing stories were' told in the course of
the trial of mistakes of : . a shriller kind, .

girls," an alarming announcement, *hick

• "Wanted, two , hand bongeets." Only
the other day a case 01 this kind came
under notice. A lady, living in London,
received one evening the following tele
gram from Scotland: "Your son cannot,
live for long." Is an agony of despair,
the lady took the next train for Scotland.
To her great joy she found her, boy alive
and well, and about to start out shooting..
The son was as much astonished as the
mother: "Oh 1 wonderful son to so as t ,
tonish a mother." And this should have
been the message: "Your son cannot.
leave for London."

ad of trampling out the juice is adopted

for this purpose breaks the seeds of the

"Aireat breadth of land in this county is
this spring devoted to peppermint. The
area is estimated at one thousand
three Or four times as much - as in any
previous season. The uniform success
of peppermint growers in previous yearp,
the steady demand for oil, and the very
remunerative prices it'has brought, have.
stimulated. hundreds of land-owners and
land-hirers who have not given the crop
any attention heretofore, to undertake its

cultivation. It is repor ted that pepper

crop of the present year at four dollars
and tiny cents per pound for oil." ,
