An I.mpoutant Debate. There was

the case was summed up in brief speeches

from one on each side. Mr. J. B. Packer

discursive, poetical, ardent, and inclined
to be sarcastic if not abusive, for the pros-

the Judge gave a clear and fair charge, a
model of perspecuity and extemporaneous
exactness.
The Bar of Northumberland is certainly
str.ng in numbers, and very respectable in
point of legal ability. Judge Jordan was
compelled to request the Commissioners to
bring in half a doicn extra chairs, to ac
commodate the member, of tha bar, who
were standing within their wooden walls
with a very tired look. Notwithstanding
the present abundance, another lirge
"crop" is said to be about ready for '-'ad-mission''
into the "arena." Mr. P. Me
lancthon Shindel, however, has quit the
Law, for a higher and more congenial
calling that of the Christian Ministry.
On motion of Ex-Gov. Pollock, tbe
Court adjourned at four o'clock to give
opportunity to all who desired to at

render women and children fearful for
their personal safety. Ye men of the
North aud West ! you would be ashamed
aud afraid to have your own neighbors,
your mothers, sisters, wives, or daughters
see you as yuu sometimes exhibit your
selves. Be warned and no looger disgrace
your homes and yourselves. The Al
mighty's eye is upon you everywhere, and
the world sees and despises your silly
sport. If such conduct is continued, you
will have to be carried like swine in a
' pcu fitted up for just your condition,
for such nuisances must bo abated from
rf
i public cars.
j From some typo, travelers we nevcr fail
; to bo informed of the "gentlemanly con
ductor This," and tho "polite Col. That"
just as if any conductor were entitled
to especial commendation lor being a gen-
tleman-or as if any Company would dare
O C
to contiuue a conductor who was nut a gen
tleman at least outwardly I While all
men should be kind and accommodating,
those especially in a public capacity must
be so, or be expelled ; and for doing only
every .day duty, well paid for at that, no
one deserves extra pay or especial thanks,
cards, canes, or gold watches But we
must say that our afternoon's conductor ,
was the least disposed to wound the feel
ings (through the pockets) of any of the
"gentlemanly' fratcruity we ever saw. He
twice passed five of us without insinuating
any desire to see our tickets, but when four
expressed their resentment by volunteer
ing the tickets at being thus compelled
to appear as "dead heads," he "kindly"
accepted them at their hands. It wa. the
first time we were ever "overlooked" by
the money takers an act so "gentleman
ly" as to extort this favorable notice con
trary to our usual custom. One, however,
pocketed the ticket with the insult, to nse
pcradveuture, soruo day when change is
scarce And thus ends our eight hours'
trip to Suubury, Monday, April 4,A.D.'59.
