East Summer Items.

The recent spell of weather was quite
favorable TO farmers and fruit growers, al
iording them an opportunity to set out
their fruit trees, which arrived in good
condition on Thursday last. Most of them
were grown in New York and Connecti-
cut, and were forwarded on order OF o..
n. Gerrish of the former and \. III. Chad
bourne of the latter place. Several hum
dred of apple and pear trees, beside
quite quantity of currant, cherry and
grape stock, arrived just as the storm
commenced, and have been set out by
our not discouraged farmers, who are
bound to succeed despite the depreda-
tons of mice. The trees as whole are
better than those set in former years.
We have heard but one complaint, and
that is. that the trees were little for
ward for our backward spring, as some
of them had full grown leaves upon their
branches. The rainy weather of last
week has caused some delay in putting in
corn, but the good effect is already APP
parent in the growth of grass.

GEORGE F. CnErCu of Freeport. sold al

ana once TO a Shocmaker-thc spirit being
in All the cases formcdic nal or mechanic
nj purposes. Mr., Crecch was thcreupon
indicted in the Superior Court of this
county as common seller and was found
guilty by the jury. His counsel moved
for new trial and in granting the motion
Judge Goddard delivered an opinion in
which he lays down two propositions :
Fist. the ulchohol ofcommerce is clearly
within the scope of the provisions OF the
prohihitorv law Of this State, and persons
selling it even Tor mechanical or mcdicin-
al purposes are liable to prosecution. -
Second the facts disclosed in tiiS case are
not such as 10 make the defendant liable
rs common seller, though he is liable to
prosecution and punishment for each of
the three unlawful sales. a common sell
er i one who sells frequently, usually,
customarily, Ia ituany." The number
of single sales that would bring person
within the rule cannot be specifically
stated. but Judge Goddard is otthe opin-
ion that Mr.. Creech's three sales, under
the circumstances, do not constitute him
a common seller, says the Press.

S. S. Harlow, OF Philips, last week
sold to Joseph ii. Gleason, OF Mexico, his
fine Black Stallion, Lightfoot, for the full
sum of $4,000 This horse is Grand
Sire of the Trotting Horse, Young Nor
rill of Manchester n. H., consequently
can boast of the finest blood and the
fastest relations now known in the world,
some of whom are Draco, Draco Prince,
Fearnaught and Dexter. Fearnanght at
Buffalo last fall, won the $4,000 prize in
field of eight, making one quarter in
the second heat in thirty one and one
fourth seconds, equal to q mile in two
minutes and five seconds.
Since it is known that Lightfoot is gone
from our village, our people manifest
great deal of disappointment. He was
valuable not only for his stock, (Which is
second to none probably in the State
but for his powers of endurance, his do
cilty, and his fine action under the saddle,
as well rs in carriage.
Harlow has another of the same blood,
sired by the same horse, five years old
this spring, weighing in light flesh ll6C
pounds. that will stand at his stable
