an experienced publisher, and now decOtes lis

relieved Of business cares, he is making his giant

BLIND ToM.-The concert of Blind Tom on
Wednesday evening drew out crowded audience
all of whom, we have no hesitation in saying,
were delighted. Tom may not be the equal of
Vieux Temps or Gottschalk as pianist, never.
theless, considering his condition and opportuni.
ties, he is a miracle. The test to which he was
subjected at other places, and in which it is said
ne occasionally failed, of hearing some able
pianist play piece entirely new to him, and
then sitting down Immediately and playing it
himself, Tom bore at Ottawa triumphantly.
The only regret of the audience was that our
Ottawa professor gave him piece so apparantly
simple. The story that T ON. in all save music,
is little else than an idiot, is all bosh. Though
many of his actions and gestures seem ridiculous
and idiotic enough, Tom, in the occasional
stories he told and remarks he addressed to the
audience, showed abundance of intelligence and
that he was anything but stupid niger.

RAlN-RAIN-RAIN.-Af cessation of
hopes of a return to reasonably dry weather, the
windows Of heaven were again opened, and we
have nothing but succession of showers since.
1t is unsafe to sall on neighbor block distant
without an umbrella. In the midst of the
brightest sunshine, you are liable to be SUBJ
merged by Q splashing rain. The rivers are
again rising aud renewal of the recent floods
is momentarily threatened.
OF course our farmers feel gloomy enough for
suicide. Small grains, which up to Monday still
promised at least n partial yield, are not worth
harvesting. while the finishing touch has been
given to corn. The country is truly in bad
case.

CuILDREN's CONCERT.-We but re.echo the
remark of hundreds who were present, that in
the way of juvenile concert, our people had
never enjoyed SO fine treat rs that given At
Turner Hall on Monday evening, under the
management of Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Cameron.
Some Of the solos and duets, such as were sung
by Miss Alderman and the Misses McNair, were
very difficult pieces Of music, yet in each
case were rendered with fsultless accuracy. Tho
ohorusses, also, without exception, were excel
lent, the last piece alone being worth the admis-
sion fee. Mrs. H. and Mrs. g, can do the people
Of Ottawa no greater favor than by giving them
such treats st shorter intervals. als .f'Faa

Circuit Court.

The case of The People va. Leroy D. Deuey, on
sn indictment for arson, was concluded on Satur-
day, BY the jury disagreelng. Ths jury was out
20 hours, and stood from first to last six for ac-
quittal and five for conviction. Under the cir
cumstances it will probably be impossible to Sc
cure conviction, and before the next trial takes
place. the States Attorney will doubtless end
the matter by entering nosle proseQui.
Since this case, slander has been the ruling
"apple Of discord" in this court. The first case
Of the kind was that Of Dansel Cosgrove v. NicAO-
las Duncan. Both plaintiff and defendant are
Justices Of the Peace in the classic city Of La
Sale. 1t was claimed by plaintiff that defend
ant had called him "a thief, Q liar and scound-
rel" with the admixture of certain profane pre-
fixes and affixes and many variations. The case
occupied considerable time, and was at last de-
cided by an award of 81 damages. Whether the
jury thought that 81 covered any possible
damages TO the character Of the plaintiff, or
whether they discredited the report that such
language as was charged upon defendant could
have emanated from 30 moral and pure district
as La Sale, we are unadvised.
The next case was that OF Join and Auqalstl
Aager Vs. gideon Mace. Mace was charged with
having called Augusta string of names which
reelected on her moral and virtuous character
The jury, thinkingithere was considerable;truth
in the charge, charged HIM $50 and costs for so
doing. Gideon should be more choise in the
selection Of his language.
A case is now on trial in which Butterfeld and
Swartout are plaintiffs and William A. McCol.
lum defendant Itis claim for damages result
ing out Of an alleged wrongful distraint by Nc
Collum upon the property of the plaintiffs for the
rent Of an 90 acre farm 81 miles from Marseilles.
We forbear noticing the case more fully until
the jury have passed upon it
Beyond this, nothing has been done except to
sentence James N. Widner, the horse thief, to
bis four years sojourn in the penitentiary, and
to perform similar service for Robert Salyards
to the extent Of one year.

We are most happy to accept the explanation
of ''ye local" Of the Republican, of the cause Of
his arrest on Sunday evening in Peru. The
most extravagant stories had reached US on the
subject. He had got into disreputable company
into the thralls of regular female Jack
Shepperd, and his character was irretrievably
compromised. So ran the stories. 1t seems his
natural and impulsive gailantry alone was in
fault, and that he was honorably discharged.
Accept our congratulations. tl

DARING AssAuLT.-About 10 o'clocl, last Sun.
day night, as E. G. Lewis, a young lawyer of this
city. was returning to Ottawa in buggy from a
visit to his parents in Fall River, he was as
saulted at the south end of the Illinois river
bridge by couple of desparadoes, whose evident
object was plunder. One Of these seized the horse
by the bride, and the other was preparing to at
tack Mr.. L., when he gave the animal sharp
stroke with the whip, on which it made sudden
spring forward, broke loose from the robber and
moved on. The robbers then attempted to arrest
the vehicle by seizing the wheels, but after one
of them had received vigorous application of
the but of whip over the head, the effort was
abandoned. There has been o good deal of this
sort of rufianism about our streets lately in the
night, and it is hoped people who have occasion
to be out late will take the precaution to go suf-
fciently armed to lay out dozen or two of these
rufians.
