on" day, got through and adjourned. I believe the
only criminal case was poor Irshwoman n, charged
with stealing breast pin, a blanket and sheet -
The pin was valued at S. and thu grade of crime
was petty larceny. Mrs. Mccarthy was duly in
court and plead not guilty but the testimony was

She lives on the railroad line and is the wife or
widow of q laborer on that work.
The owner of the stolen property was witness,

relative position of the shanty of the unfortunate

In the recess of the Court, a number of the
sufragans assembled about the hotel, and listened
in rapt delight at the band which was performing
before dinner. Their admiration stimulated the
pride of the musicians, and they surpassed them
selves in their feats with wind and strings. The
elarionet sircumgyrated and lesped along the ga
NUT in manner that was caution to all mita
tors, while the fiddle tortured the poor spirit which
dwells within it, by series of staccatoing and
tremolos that made its bridge shake and its very
neck twist under the int1c.ion
