CHARIvAHI TRIAL-The trial before the circuit
court last week, that appeared to attract the
most interest among citizens, was that of sew
eral young men, indicted for undue dstur bance
and noise, at what is termed a charivari party
The trial was conducted with much ability on the
part of the state by Amasa Cobb, prosecuting
Atty, assisted by N. B. Boyden Esq and on the
part of the defence by l. +. Messmore and G. l.
seven of those against whom indictments had
been found. The sentence of the court. by Judge
Cothren, was preceded by very appropriate
and impressive remarks to the young men, which
we think can hardly fail to have salutary infu
ence upon their future They were inform
ed by the court that in consideration of their
youth the example that had been set them by
older persons, and this being the first instance in
which the law had been enforced for the unlawful
practice, the lightest possible penalty would be
inflicted, which was fine of $40 upon the Oldest
of the defendants, and SIS upon each of the Others,
with twelve hours rn prisonment for each of them
We have no doubt bat this penalty, small as it is
accompanied by the remarks of Judge Cothren
will have the desired effect to prevent recurrence
of this ridiculous practice of making night hidi-
whenever wedding takes place. But should
such not be the case, those who may be found
guilty hereafter, need expect no more clerlency
from the court than the law requires

Wisconsin Ba'ks.-The depreciation of the bills
of our Wisconsin Banks, in New York, shows
how completely the money market is under the
control of stock gamblers. Our Banking system
is the best secured of any State in the Un,,n and
not one of them has refused or been unpIe-
pared to redeem its currency in gold and silver,
and yet Wisconsin money has been quoted in New
York at per cent discount, and is now quoted at
per cent. The bills of our banks are better Sc
cured than the bills of most of the Eastern Banks
which quoted at par at per cent, and yet
at the direction of a few brokers and panic ma
kers, they are quoted al and per cent discount.
This cannot last, and our farmers will be glad to
get and keep Wisconsin money. We should like
to see the next Legislature make it penal Of
fence to circulate the bills of any bank whose cir
culation was not amply secured by law. Either
that the abolition of all law on the subject,
and let everyb ody make and circulate such money
ne pleases Especially would we like TO see
our bankers prohibited from the importation and
circulation of unsafe and deprecated currency.

captors.
We were well acquainted with Mrs Wilson
during her girlhood. Weknew her under circum-
stances almost as trying those of her captivity
when her father and mother, reduced to want
and suffering by continued bad health and the ex-
actions of heartless landlord, were both taken
from her in one day by death, and the large house
hold OF children, many OF them small and helpless,
without relative In the country, were parcelled
out among the neighbors. The father under all
circumstances, reduced by misfortune to the most
extreme indulgence, maintained the character of an
honest man, a reputation that has been sustained
by his unfortunate children.-[ Dollar (Texas)
