ANCIENT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The second

from which we learn that, in former times

those charged with capital felony at the pres

WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1920.

RAILROAD. We have seen, with much re-
greet, the attempts which have been made, to
create an ir.itated and excited state of public
feeling in relation to the railroad question, and
to influence the decision of it by appeals to the
passions, rather than to the good sense and
judgment, of the people. Questions of this
character ought to be discussed coolly and can
ddly, and decided upon deliberately, without
the influence of either passion or prejudice.
If on careful examination and elaboration it
shall appear that the interests Of the ckole state
will best be promoted by engaging in the work,
then, let it be done to such extent as may seem
proper and advisable but # it shall appear, on
the other hand, that the advantages will not be
such as to justify the expenditure, let it be aban-
doned But it should be done calmly and de-
liberately, and in such manner that confidence
will be reposed in the decision. so that the
whole ground will not have to be gone over
again in short time.
The proposed railroad has been stigmatised
as scheme for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Boston
to the ruin of the country. We do not see how
the interests Of Boston and the country. Ifa
railroad increases the business of Boston, il
must be because it opens profitable market
for articles, which before could not be sold to
advantage, or which had been disposed of at q
less profit in some other place or it may pro-
coed from both causes united Whatever ad-
vantage, therefore, Boston might derive from
this improvement, it must be because the coun.
try had first been benefited by it. Their inter-
ests are mutual, or, rather those of Boston de-
pend on the prosperity of the country. What
ever depresses that, affects her injuriously, and
whatever promotes it adds to her wealth. II
those who discuss such questions would do it
with spirit of candor and moderation, and
with enlarged and comprehensive views,
they would liberalise their own feelings and
those of the community, and their articles
would often do public service, where, by in.
dulging a contrary spirit the effects they pro-
duce are only evil.

REMARKABLE INCREASE. We have been fur
nished by friend with an account furnished
BY David Royce of Ripley, Chautauque County
New York, Of remarkable increase Of Bees,
belonging to him; the correctness Of which
statement is certified to by the Postmaster and
public officers of the town. In the course of
something less than seven years and a half,
from single swarm of bees, he had taken up
81 swarms, from which he obtained for use
l7O5 pounds of honey ten swarms had escap-
ed to the woods and were lost and eighty eight
swarms remained in their hives, in which there
was, by the estimate of intelligent and impair
tial men, not less than 1864 pounds of honey,
making total of one hundred and thirty-nine
swarms of bees, and nine thousand three ham
dred and St1ty-nine pounds of honey. The
honey, at the price it is usually sold in this vi
cinity, would amount to more than fifteen hun
dred dollars. We know not why bees, with
proper attention, may not do as well in this
section of the country as in any other; but, if
they WILL with the best of care, yield half as
much increase as the above, to what more
profitable business can the farmer turn a por-
ton of his attention?

them, even in the cities; it was lively and
hideous representation of the plague of Egypt
by locusts. The grand Vicar of ValeKce cited
the caterpillars before him; he appointed a
proctor TO defend them. The cause was sol
EMMY argued, and he sentenced them to quit
the diocese But they did not obey human
justice has no command over the instruments
of the justice of the deity. 1t was discussed
whether to proceed against these animals by
anathema and imprecation, and ,.as it was ex-
pressed, by malediction and accommodation.
But two jurists and two theologians having
been consulted, changed the opinions of the
grand Vicar; so that afterwards nothing was
made use Of but adluration, prayers, and sprink-
ling holy water. The life of these animals is
short, and these ceremonies having continued
for several months, received the credit Of hav-
ing mraculously extermnated them"
Gui Pape relates that in going to Chalons,
this must have been about the middle of the
fifteenth century, to pay his respects to the
king, he saw, on gibbet, hog that had been
hung for killing child.
On the 22d of September, 1543 in an assem-
lbly held by the municipal council of the city of
Grenobe, one of the members represented that
the snalls and caterpillars were causing terrible
destruction. He ended by requesting, " that
Monsieur, the official, should be requested to
excommunicate the said beasts, and to proceed
against them by censures, to obviate the injury
which they were daily committing, or might
commit in future" and the council passed an
act in conformity with this request
Lastly, we have found work, and, what is
more remarkable, work published in the mid
die of the seventeenth century, in which prose-
cutlons against animals are treated er professo,
and in great detail. The author Gaspard Bail
ly, an advocate in the Senate of Savoy, gives
with scrupulous precision forms of the plead
ings which may be used both by the inhabitants
who are plaintiffs, and the counsel who are ap-
pointed for the accused animals, the allegations
Of the prosecutor, the sentence Of the official,
