The Down Town-Band.
3Iusic will evidently bo at a discount.
Some of our enterprising citizens down
town, have conceived tbe project of insti
tuting a new Brass Band in that quarter
of our Borough, and have already succee
ded in raising about one hundred and
twenty-five dollars, and will doubtless
succeed in raising the balance of a sum
sufficient to furnish the band' with i
intrumenta throughout. We are pleas

been bad it boen ten times as large.
Soon after ten o'clock tho Judge, tbe

jury, tuo prisoner, ana tne counsel were
in their places.
The crowd of speculators settled down
to tolerable order, and tho reporters, the
hardest workers of all, prepared for their
daily duties, with such accommodations
as they have been able obtain.
At the opening the court cautioned tbe
jury against reoeiving any letters from
any source, anonymous or otherwise, re
nting to the case. Intimations have been
made that such letters have been sent to
urymen.
(Exciting scene in Court.)
The prisoner, who had shown great ag
itation during tbe recital of Mr. Walk
er's testimony, was, at this point, seized
with violent convulsions, and fainted in
tho box.
He was carried out by several men in
the midst of tbe utmost exoitement, in
the Court and among tbe spectators. He
sobbed violently, burricd bis face in his
hands, and at times uttered the most ag
onizing cries.
Several of tho jurymen were affected
to tears, as were a great many of the
spectators. The scene was for a time a
thrilling one.

A correspondent of a Worcester paper
relates the following incident:
Just as the train was about starting
for Greenfield, Friday morning, on the
Vermont and Massachusetts railroad, a
sprightly little woman with a child took
a seat in a car near where I was sitting.
The cars were beginning to move, and the,
little woman looked anxiously through
the end window of the rear car for her. f
missing husband, who was in tbe depot
attending to the purchase of tickets, &c.
Tbe speed of the cars increased, and tbo
woman looked more anxious. Tho hus
band now appears and commenced to run.
He gains on the cars at first, but they aro
too far ahead of him, and soon aro leav-
ing him behind, although be "did run
well for a season." It is now tbe wife's
turn to try what she can do. In agony
she implores the conductor that her hus
band is left behind, but he can't help
that. 'I am starting on a journey and
can't get along without my husband."
"Then let him attend to his business next
time," was the cold answer. "But," said
tho keen Yankee woman, ,CI have no -money
with me." The brakes were ap
plied, and the cars brought to a stand
still, aud tho panting hmband enters tho
cars to the delight of all the passengers,
especially ot bis wile.

Methodists and Temperance.
The Committee on Temperance made
a report to the Philadelphia Conference,
in which it is claimed that the Methodist
Church was the fir.t in the cause of tem
perance, and calling for renewed exer
tions against drunkenness, "the giant foo-
of God aud mau." The following resolu
tions were submitted and adopted:
Resolved, That thoogh we think judi
cious legislation is important tosucccssvin '
the great battle of temperance, our reli
anco is chiefly upon the power of moral
suasion. '
Resolved, That, therefore, we will, as
occasion presents, exercise our rights as
citizens in procurriog the enactment of '
wholesome temperance law-; but especial
ly, will we not fail, in the pulpit and
through the press, to labor diligently in
forming such a public sentiment as will
sustain such laws when enacted.
Resolved, That, as all success depends
upon the Diiine blessing, wo will not
cease to pray that it may rest so abund
antly on the cause we advocate, that the
desolating tide, still rushing fearfully o
ver the land, may cease to flow, and, in
its stead, the stream of life caue the des
ert to rejoice and blossom as the rose.
To remove Bust from the Eyes.
Tho folio wing directions as to removing
pecks or cinders from the eyes will be
found to be very efficacious.
If the upper eyelid ia affected, raise it
gently with the thumb and fore finger,
and pross the lower lid up between tbo
eyeball and the upper lid; then, while tho
upper lid is lapped tightly upon the low

eyelids gently apart, and the speck will
