Charge Of Judge Rice.


TO THE HON. RICHARD D. RICE.
The undersigned, members Of the Lincoln
Bar, approaching the sound and patriotic SEN
timents contained in your recent charge to the
Grand Jury, upon the opening of the February
term of the Middle District Court, at Wiscas-
set, respectfully solicit a copy of said charge
for publication. At time when treason and
disunion are publicly proclaimed from men in
high station, and from the pulpit, it would
seem to be peculiarly appropriate that the peo,
pie at large should have an opportunity Of
learning the opinion of the Bench, as to The
duties of all good citizens of the United States
which are So well expressed in the recent
charge Of your Honor.

fortunate men who were in the Light House. He
had iashed IL to his back, but the waves probably
washed himo out of it. The name of the Assistant
Keepers were Joseph Wilson, an Engshman,
aged 20, and Joseph Antoine, Portuguese, aged
70. They both must have persisted.

diameter OF which was eight oches at the base, and

CIRCIJIT COURT


On Saturday the Grand Jury had under considera-
ton The indictment against John Howard jr, charging
HIM with shooting Samuel Jennett his grocery store
IN Adams Valley, last WINTER and only found true
b against him TOR that offence but also presented him
for selling ardent spirits to be drunk in his house contra
~ TO law.
On Monday night about ii O'Clock, the Jury in the
case OF H. B. Allison, agreed upon verdict of guilty
and assessed his term in the Penentjay five years
1t will be recollecied that Allison arrested in the
city OF Washington as confederate of two pick pock-
els who robbed several gentlemen in the African
Church in this city, at public exhibition, the past
winter The evidence against him not being very clear,
in all proba billy he would have escaped conviction had
he not confessed to the aor that he received portion
or the whole othe money stolen BY his conf derates
An incident occurred Monday II ieht during the pro-
gress OF the Trial OF Allison, which is worthy of being
noted one of the coolest specimens ofpocket-picking
which las occurred for tine in this city Capt.
Jnkins being in attendance one OF the witnesses,
asked leave OF absence about sunset for the purpose of
setting The watch for the night, and making cut his
nightly report for the Mayor. Leave being granted the
Captain repaired to the cage, arranged his plans for the
night, and returned 10 The court room, entering which
he encounted a denae crowd of spectators, through

Now there would have been nothing unusual odd or
