MAGIC ART-Mr. Tonne, who advcrtses in an
other column to exhibit at Pittsford on the evening
of the Both inst, performed at the Hall of the BRAN
DON House on Monday and Tuesday evenings of
this week, and will furnish third treat on this,
Wednesday evening We attended on Tuesday
evening and was well pleased, as most of the per-
torlnanccs were executed in workmanlike manner.
People have different tastes to crafty; therefore
what one would highly applaud, another might see
nothing in from which he could receive instruction
or amusement; but we think no one who has attcn-
dcd Mr.. TowSEs exhibitions will say he was not
~eH paid for time and money expended for that pur-
pose. We will therefore say to Pittsford neigh
bors, give this magician one hearing, provided you
are fond Of innocent amusement.

JOHN H. NoYEs Gndh associates IN Putney-We
noticed short time since in the Brattleboro' Eagle
report of the proceedings of meeting held in Put
ney, Vt on the ID inst respecting the conduct of in
dividuals in that town, belonging to the ORDER Or
sect, calling themselves Perfectionsts." As APP
pears from the record of an adjourned meeting, held
on the 9th Inst, the people, not belonging to that
sect, considered Mr.. Moves and his associates as
having gone so far towards perfection in evil practi
ccs that they demanded dissolution of the union"
In the Brattleboro' Phoenix of last week, we saw an
editorial preface to the above named proceedings,
representing that the teneS of the association named,
aJsOlre those who embrace them, from obligation to
practice pure morality in their every day conduct,
and virtually give license to violate wholesome laws
of the State. There will undoubtedly be further
investigation of the matter, and when this takes
place VIII endeayor 10 give the points to our read

ARREST FOR LIQUOR SELLING.


Two men in Topsham, VT, viz: Doctor Charles
DoUnes, and his brother, George D0rnes have lately
been arrested, tried, found guilty of selling ardent
spirits contrary to law, and bound for trial at
the next County Court The prisoners, as is always
the case in such circumstances, plead persecution and
conspiracy! The cause was ably managed against
the defendants, by DANIEL JAMES, Esq, lawyer
in Cornth, aided by JOHN BACHELOR, Esq. of
Topsham. There were about eight Of such
violations SO far proven as to warrant binding over
the aggrcssors to appear at the next term of Orange
County Court. Such was the candor and prudence
of the attorneys for the State and such the ag rav
ton of the conduct of the vioaors of the law, that
the decisions of the Court were almost universally
approved.
The trials afforded an excellent opportunity for a
certain class of men to attend temperance meet
ing, (protracted to three four days., who never
can find it convenient to attend other temperance
meetings.
The Court was opened in Esq. Bacheldrr's office,
which was soon found too small for the accommoda
ton of those assembled, and the Town House was
substituted which was soon filed but officer JONES
succeeded in preserving excellent order during the
protracted proceedings. This trial will no doubt
prove permanent benefit

weekly newspaper, recently started Mt Manches-

work is laid out in their Prospectus, and since John

judge that the paper is to be devoted lOl'ica!y to
the advancement Of the Liberty and Independent

ALLEN SMITH This was IN action for money
VS. had and received, in which the
HIRAM SMITH. plaintiff claimed to reeoyer Tor cX-
ira, or usurious interest which he had paid. Evi-
dencc was given tending to prove that, upon gen.
eral settlement which took place between the par
ties in 1872 the interest upon note which the delft
then held against p, which had been given in 1887
and was payable on demand, with yearly interest,"
was compounded each year, and that the compound
interest was allowed to the de in that settlement
and that upon other balances due the deft the inter
est was rcckoned and allowed at the rate of eight
per cent; but the evidence on the part Of the det.
tended to show that in these cases the delft had be-
come obligated as surety for the plif. and was pay
ing the same rate upon these obligations, and that
they were the consideration of the plEs indebted
ness to him. The court charged that, though the
deft could not have collected compound interest
upon his notc yet that if by the agreement Of both
parties the interest was computed at that rate, and
the dcft Understandings paid it, the transaction
was not an usurious one, and that if the cases in
which the plf paid eight per cent. were only those
in which the deft had paid or had agreed to pay the
same rate to others as surety for the pf, he could
not recover. Verdict for defendant.
