be imagined, was committed on this coast on the

COUNTY POST.
LITCHFIELD, NOVEMBER =, 1898.

The Editor of the New-Yo Enquirer
speaking of the late conspiracy trial says: cit
Is difficult for the public to understand the
complication and perplexities which attend all
these moneyed operations; the buying and
hypothecating Of stocks; the pledges the
collateral securities; the overdrawings; the
depositing of checks; and the whole system
of financial management by which so much
money has been lost. We are free to confess
that we have but a very confused idea of the
whole business. One thing, however, is pref
ty certain-the defendants have not been able
TO establish their innocence. The disagree
mcnt of the jury is, in effect. conviction OF
guilt, though it saves the party convicted from
the penalty Of the law
II was fully proved to the jury that the Life
Il Fire Company, of which Mr.. Eckford had
the principal management, had sunk its capital
Of 100000, and had also bonds to the amount
OF $4,000 out, and not one cent could
be found of the effects of the Company, to
pay OF this enormous sum, except few notes
~'>~ OOAANAS ""aSA hVSAAh6' tAC law
does not condemn the principal agents in this
transaction, public opinion does convict them
Of most criminal intentions, in availing them
selves Of their credit and situation to take mo-
ney from banks and other institutions, to such
immense amounts, and leave their own paper,
which they knew to be worthless, as security
and although the jury has not said that Bar
ker, Eckford, and others, have pocketed the
proceeds of such exchanges, their fellow citi-
zens have said it, and their fellow citizens be-
Heve it. We learn from the New-York pa
pers that the cause will be tried again, and we
hope the result will be more definite; we sim
cerely hope that if all that has been aledged
against these purse-proud lordlings be correct
the arm of the law will enable them to derive
the full benefit of conviction.

A scarlet beet was raised this season in the
garden Of Mr.. John Kilbourn which measured
"a inches in circumference, and weighed ~
lbs. We have seen several notices of large
apples, gatheredin different parts ofthe coun-
try, but none as large as one that was exhibit
ted in this village at the late cattle show, which
weighed SO ounces Beat this who can.
A few weeks since an ncendiary attempt
was made to burn the honse and printing-of-
fee of Mr.. Miller, editor of the Batavia
(Genesee Co. N. W Adv, and an account
was at the same time published Of the sud-
den and alarming disappearance of Capt.
William Morgan Of that place. AS these out
RACES appeared to be the offspring of the ex-
cited feelings of certain men belonging to the
masonic fraternity, we RETAINED noticing the
affair until further particulars were received.
A meeting Of the most respectable citizens of
Batavia and its vicinity has been held, and
from the account of their proceedings publish
ed, we gather the following particulars.
Capt. Morgan was on the nth of Sept. Vi
olently seized and carried before Justice of
Canandaigua, on charge of petit larceny the
accusation being wholly unfounded, he was
released; but was again Immediately arrested
for real or pretended debt, and carried of, no
body knows where, as, after the most gene
raj and diligent search, no tidiugs have since
been received of him, and the most alarming
apprchensiOns are feltby his family and friends
for his safety.

MORGAN'S AXES.

M ORGANS Best Cast Steel Axes ground
LIZ ready for use, and warranted genuine.
are for sale by &c. II A. WADSWORTH.
TO wood-choppers that have used the above
mentioned Axes, nothing need be said in their
favour. Those persons that are not acquaint-
ed with the reputation of Morgan's Axes, are
informed that they are. much preferable to
those in common use, being of more perfect
shape, and having liberal portion of steel.
Full reliance may be safely placed on the su-
periOrity of these axes, every one of them
being carefully made and tempered by Mr..
Morgan himself, whose attention is wholly
confined to the business of making and tenn
pcring axes. Although skill in tempering an
axe is Of indispensable Importance, its good
ness depends very much ON the steel of which
it is made, and these axes are recommended
! to the public with the greatest confidence, as
the steel used in making them. is of very SUI
perior quality, having been imported from Eng
land expressly for axes.
0P3he Gbove Ares are scarruated ON the fo4-
loDing Terms.
If an axe proves too soft, so as to bend on
the edge, or breaks in consequence Of a flaw
in the steel, and is returned within so DAYS
from the date of purchase, a now one will Be
given in exchange.-If an axe is broken where
the steel is sound, it will be considered as done
by hard usage, and will not be exchanged.
None will be exchanged unless returned with
in 80 days.

vcurite with the people; and the only reason
why he did not receive the unanimous support

ti0n OF the people in that state--an influence
more strongly feltthere, than in any other state
IN me Union. 1t was not feared that Gov.

ninety-nine- hundredihs of the people are
warmly attached tothe administration and
their candidates also know that the man
would be politically damned, who should, IN

IS a state in the Union upon whom the general
government can depend for an enlightened,

was servant There were boarders there, and
among the rest Mrs. Taylor, respectable
woman from the southwark, whom Mr.. X. sus-
pected, and on whom this black girl swore the
theft at The police Office, where Mrs. I. was cx-
amined, and where, the prisoner, looked her in
the face, when Mrs. I. denied all knowledge OF
the theft, still insisted under oath, that she saw
Mrs. +. fake the money Gin small trunk }
from the bureau, by means OF keys she had
with her. Mrs. i. with an infant at her breast
was imprisoned in Bridewell, and kept there
from Friday till "Wednesday. The money was
found in store, corner Of Dover and Water
streets, where the prisoner had carried 1t; and
Mrs. Taylor was then released, and the prison
err put in her place. When Mrs I. was exam

To Capt Nabb, Of the ship Imperial, which

which shivered all her spars from the sky-sall
mast down to the mainmast (Which last it much
iniured) and descending into the hold set hire TO
the cargo of cotton. Providen,ially, however,
copious shower of rain falling nearly at the
same moment, by stopping the scuppers, they
obtained sufficient water TO extingulsh 1t. The
crew were all more or less shocked, and some
of them knocked down by the lightning. Capt.
Nabb.informs, that the brig. Enterprise, Fales,
also bound to Hayre, and ready for sea, was
struck by lightning, in the hurbor of New Or
leans, on the 2sth ult by which she sustained
nearly the same damage as the Imperial, having
her mainmast from the sky-sail mast TO the
deck shivered and her cargo set on fire by the
fluid descending into the hold. The hire was
