FOUND DEAD.-Last Tuesday evening
about ten o'clock, a team consisting ola pair
of horses and farm wagon, was discovered
standing by the side of the road near the
residence of Mr.. Holt in Edford, by a young
man named Taylor, residing with Spencer
Taylor. On investigating the matter there
was found in the wagon Swede by the
name of John Hart, dead. and rear it lying
by the road was another Swede, who would
have been dead before morning if he hadn't
been discovered. They were returning from
Geneseo to their homes this side of Deaning-
ton. ". T. Allan, ESQ.,, of this city held, an
inquest, and DR.. Pomroy, also of this city,
made the examination. 1t came out in the
evidence before the Coroners jury that the
Swedes, before leaving here, got beastly
drunk at one of our saloons; that they were
thrown into the wagon like dead hogs and
sent off towards home in that condition.
Hart was thrown in, face down, and when
found the skin was worn of the forehead,
nose and face by the action off the wagon.
Whoever sent those drunken men home in
that condition and under such circumstances
is little better than brute. The verdict OF
the jury was, death by intoxicstion. The
case is to be further investigated Geneseo

"There was no business before the Munich
pal Court Saturday. "-Press of Monday.
Mr.. EDIToR:-From the frequency of notices
like the above in our daily papers, many per-
sons infer that the Office of Judge of the Mu-
nicipal Court is siaecure-that there is little
or no business done. To correct this misap-
prehenson allow me to say that such announc-
ments as the above refer to criminal and not to
civa business; and it is matter of extreme
qualification to all that the criminal bust
ness in our city is diminishing 1t speaks we'll
for the vigilance of our City Marshal and the
peaceable disposition of the laboring classes OF
our community. But let it not be inferred
that our worthy Municipal Judge has nothing
to do. On the contrary, in the ciul terms of
his Court, held on Monday of each week, he
has formidable docket, week after week and
month after month, deciding with promptness
and unquestionable fitness all cases brought
before this Court. Being present myself Mon
day morning, I witnessed actual trials and de-
cisions of four contested cases in the space of
too hours, which in a higher Court might oc-
cupy two days or more, at least, beside the
dispatch of much other business where trials
were not insisted on.
Heretofore many appeals have been taken
from this Court, but generally for the purpose
of delay by the losing party. This delay will
now be obviated by the monthly sitting of our
new Superior Court, in which all parties ap-
pealing will be obliged to advance jury fee Of
$500 or suffer judgment to be entered with
costs. Thus the claws delay" will be no long
er complained of in small matters by traders
and mechanics in this city. LEX.
