Seizure, Fines, Imprisonments.

The friends of temperance at the Cen
tire Village continue to visit rumsellers
Whereabouts with the penalties of the law.
Mr.. n. W. Clark has for some time been
suspected of Illegal traffic in liquor, but
not sufficient evidence has been obtained
till week or two since, when a suspi-
cious looking trunk on the way to his
house attracted the attention of the off
GERS of the law, and, on seizing it, it was
found TO contain a five gallon key of IL
quor. He was summoned TO show cause
why it should not be destroyed, and, after
making the usual brave show of fight, he
surrendered, was fined ten dollars and
costs, and the liquor spilled. There was
an interesting episode connected with
this case. Mr.. Clark gained access to
the place where the officer had deposited
his liquor, and carried it away in tri-
umph, whereat there was great rejoicing
among the friends of free rum, who
threw up their hats is if the cause of
temperance had been utterly ruined
But they soon learned that serious
blunder, to say nothing worse, had been
committed, and were glad to comply with
the terms proposed by the officer, name
ly, that Mr.. Clark should bring back the
liquor in broad day light and restore it to
its former place of deposit, which he ac-
cordingly did.
Mrs. Hora, the inveterate Irish rum
seller, has again been prosecuted for con-
tinued violations of the law. The Off
GERS seized her and her liquor-jug, and
her twin babies, and brought them all to
the States Attorneys Office, where she
was fined twenty dollars and costs, and
for lack of funds was committed to Jail
Last Friday, McLoud, a Scotchman,
who has frequently been brought before
the court on charges of drunkenness, was
again fined five dollars, and set to work
under the charge of the Sheriff, till he
should earn his fine and costs. An Irish
man, named Sweeney, was also fined five
dollars for the same offence Caledo-
niGn.

County Singing Convention.


BY reference TO another column it will
be seen that a call has been issued for
County Singing Convention to convene
at this place on Wednesday, the 18th
inst, when it is expected that much good
will result from the bringing together of
the different choirs in the county, to con-
suit as TO the best means Of advancing
this most entertaining of all studies, the
study Of music. a very general attend
ance Of singers and others interested in
sacred music, is earnestly desired and ex-
pectsd, and to give them a hearty vel
come, the people of this village and its
immediate vicinity are abundantly pre-
pared Prof. NJ. Cheney has been en-
gagged for the occasion, ard from his wide
reputation as a singer and as a comedian,
we promise all an abundance of good
music and many hearty laugh.
The exercises Of the day are to close
with free concert in the evening.
p We are pleased to see the friends Of
music thus awake, and hope much bene-
fit may result from the action of the con-
vention, both as regards harmony in sing
ing and harmony in ehoirs.
What is there more elevating and en-
nobling than music? What has so d.
rect tendency to raise our hearts to
Him who formed the first great choir
when the " morning stars together sang"
from the wide hymn book of nature, and
piped their notes to the music of the
spheres" So important was music even
at creations dawn, that worlds sang His
praises. Music is the essence of the
God-like that is within us. If, then, it
traces its source to so pure fountain, let
us improve upon it-His gift.

Civil and Natural History Society.

The quarterly meeting of this society
was held at this place on the 9th inst
But few Of its members, or outsiders,
were present, and but twenty in all. lis
deliberations were opened by the reading
of the scriptures and a prayer by the
Rev. n. Ward of Troy. An address
was then delivered by Mr.. H. II. Frost
of Coventry, which was listened to with
marked attention by his audience, and by
them pronounced good. His subject was
the early history of Coventry. He-sta-
ted in the course of his remarks that the
Rev. Mr.. lie was the religious father of
the town, and judging from our dealings
with its inhabitants at later date, we
are led TO conclude that he preached fire.

STABBING CAsE.-We learn from the
Middlebury Register that on Friday eve
ming last, as man named Russell Nor
ton, was returning through the woods to
his home in Starksboro, he was met by a
person of the name of Orrin Briggs, who,
throwing down a bundle which he held
in his hands, drew large knife and
thrust it into the abdomen of Norton. ex-
claiming with an oath, Who are you %
The BLOW was followed by a succession of
stabs in various parts of the body
Norton sank upon the ground about a
quarter of mile from his home, and
Briggs went home and retired to bed
Briggs had couple of companions with
him, apparently as heartless as himself
for they refused to assist the wounded
man to his home. Norton was carried
home by friend, who fortunately was
with him at the time of the attack. A
physician was called Immediately, who
regards Norton's case as almost homeless
of recovery. Briggs and Norton are
both young farmers, and have young fam
lies. A feud had existed between them
for about a year. Briggs was arrested
and bound up by magistrate, in $4,000,
to answer for the crime, and is now in
Jail at Middlebury, awaiting trial.

"a A verdant specimen of humanity
from SALISBURY, named Lewis Vanwoert,
went 10 Troy, n. Y, last week. While
leasing an eating saloon he was accosted
by nice young man" who craved
permission to brush the dust from the
collar Of Lewis coat. In this labor Of
love the young scamp stole the pocket
book of greeney," containing about
$50 in money. Perhaps Lewis will,
next time he visits Troy, prefer acting as
bis own porter. The supposed thief is
in Jail and this is some consolation to
Lewis.

A SINGULAR TIAL.-A few days since, says

Chinaman in the court of Justice jerks, against
a woman of his tribe, for the recovery of 500,
alleged to have been paid by the plaintiff in
behalf of the defendant, for passage for her.
self and two companions from Marysyie to
San Francisco. The money was paid some
two years ago, and since that time the parties
have not nat until very recently. During the
progress of the trial it was proposed that the
test of the Chinese oath be brought into requ-
sition The idea is as follows Two live roost-
ers are presented, and the parties each take
the oath and at the same time cut off the head
of the fowl before them. The one who hesi-
tates is acknowledged to be in fault This
manner Of oath is considered to be most sa-
cred, and Chinaman would as soon cut his
own throat as that of the fowl, that is if
guilty. If under these circumstances he swear
falsely, he is cut off from his entire tribe. The
roosters were brought into court yesterday,
and the girl took the knife. The room was
crowded with Chinese, and as she stood over
the fowl, they all stared at her with as much
interest as if she was about to be guiotned
The oath was being administered and she
struck. Several of her friends sprang forward
to prevent her, as they evidently thought her
guilty and about to swear falsely, but they
were too late, and the floor was already cover
ed with blood. The plaintiff at once gave up
the case and paid the costs. If however, the
suspicious of her tribe prove correct and she is
subsequently shown to be guilty, she will suf
