DIR. LOCKE.

When We penued the paragraph for our
last weeks paper, not knowing the facts in
relation to the death of this gentleman, we
copied the account from the Republican. =
Since that time We have learned the circum-
stances Of this sad evcnt-which has carried
sorrow to the hearts of SO many Of our citi-
zens.
Tho last weeks account stated that his
death was supposed to be accidental This
implies doubt, which We never entertained,
and which is without foundation. We learn
that on the day OF his death, at his breakfast
table, I've 'statcd that hc would ride toward
Shannondale, but before he went be would
kill dog which had been suspected for kill
ing sheep, and which be had chained up in
his stable. He loaded and cooked his gun
for that purpose, and it was in the attempt to
carry out his purpose, that the sad accident
happened lie was found lying on his face
= the load of shot having entered above bis
left eye,- with his hand upon the chain of the
dog,---the dog was bowling over him uninju
red. His poor wife knowing Of his intention
was not startled at hearing the discharge Of
the gun, and he lay for some time before he
was discovered by the servant boy, who had
taken the horse for his master to ride
DR., Locke was a gentleman of energetic,
cheerful, hopeful temper, Using rapidly in his
profession, consistent member of the church,
was greatly respected in the neighborhood of
bis residence. We sympathisc deeply with
the bereaved mother--the afflicted widow, the
brothers and sisters, and the poor little chill
iren, who are thus suddenly deprived of a
careful, tender, parent

his age and physical health are such a. 4

l. That in ten years service on the Bench
Judge Baldwin has not lost single day or
single hour from any indisposition or N
health.
1. That in those ten years be has NO.

cause whatever, except when called home i,

s- A case at law, exhibiting some of its
yexations. that came before the court Of an
adjoining county recently, has been thus re-
ported to rs:

pleasure.
From this, or perhaps no cause, the belli-
gerent propensities Of tie younger members
Of the respective families. owning dog and
hog, were reused. A. young man. who
was examined as witness, stated, that a.
vailing himself of the presence of younger
dog Of a neighbor, be determined to give the
hogs DIGGING, that it might furnish ansoc-
casion fer giving the son Of the plaintiff fog
giug. He succeeded-all but the logging
The enemy did not come to the rescue Of the
hogs as their assaiant had supposed
A day or 50 after this, hog Of the plain
tiff was found dead whereupon an inquest
being had as to bow. and in what manner the
hog then and there lying dead, came by bis
death; and Of other matters relating to the
same-it was found, that the death of the
hog had been caused by the DIGGING afore-
said, and that divers other hogs, Of the prop
erty Of the plaintiff, had suffered by reason
thereof and that the plaintiff had sustained
damage to the amount of Eve dollars-and
thereupon be brings suit.
In the trial Of this case three justices; two
lawyers /; twelve jurors, and sixteen witness
es--besides the officers of the court, the par
ties themselves, and the bystanders
occupied from 10 o'clock in the morning un
til 10 at night, when the jury--not agreeing
were discharged, and the case continued
And this was but the repetition of what bad
occurred in the same case at previous term
We recollect the newspaper report of a
somewhat similar case, that arose 10 Ken
lucky some few years ago, Its result was
very different, however, and does infinite hon.
or to the heads and hearts Of those who con-
trived it.
In the Kentucky, case, the COW of the
plaintiff was found tresspassing upon bis
neigh5or, the defendant whose dog was set
on, to drive the COW off Her head being
down to watch her assailant and repel assault,
the COW, in her retreat, ran against stump
and broke her neck. The plaintiff, who was
a very poor man-this was bis only COW
brought suit for her estimated value, twelve
dollars the defendant--who was also poor
--contending that under the circumstances
be was in no wise bound to pay for the COW.
The trial was had before a justice jury
was empannclled. the case heard, and the
facts proved or agreed as have been stated.
The jury retired and, after some delibera-
ton, brought in special verdict to wit: that
the Jurors should pay for the cow, the Con-
stable lose his costs, and the Judge treat
Judgment was rendered accordingly, BY ac-
clamation- each juror forked lis dollar

and the parties l:tigant were made better

We the undersigned, the Bar Of Augusta

Immediately within the gift Of the people
This, we think, can best be effected BY leav-
ing out CT view the opinions upon questions Of
Federal politics of the various candidates who
may be presented for their suffrages. for, con
siderations Of this character can only serve to
trammel the judgement of the elcctor, while
they do not legisimately attach to the Offices
in question. This is our conclusion upon
principles; did it need support from authofi-
ty, we have only to refer to the fact, that the
contrary policy, to that we recommend, was
without single exception, deprecated by
both Radical Rcformers and Conservatives
in the late Conventional canvass
Entertaining these views sir, we now,
withou. distinction of party, respectfully So
lcit that you will announce yourself candi-
date for the Bench Of the Supreme Cont of

conceive you are euiinently qualified; your
extensive legal attainments--the fruit of
long professional lse-your high sense ofjus-
tice and your indomitablc energy in the dis
charge Of your public duties, are familiar to
us all; beside these, the learned and lumi.
nous opinions, which have illustrated your
judicial career, afford US an all sufficient
earnest ofyour future usefulness, should you
be continued by the popular voice in the Of
fee which you now adorn.
We cannot conclude this call, sir, without
adding an expression Of the warm personal es.

lave inspired us, and do but utter the gcner-
al sentiment Of this the county of your early
adoption and your home, when we subscribe
ourselves. most sincerely,
