The case Of Gatti VS., T. A. Hamilton
and others was on trial before the First
Circuit Court this morning. This is one
of the old sugar cases which originated
during Confederate times. when Tom
Hamilton was sugar agent to the Con
federacy in Memphis. The defense set
up is that the sugar was taken by order
Of the Confederate authorities, and that
the defendants, as agents Of that govern
ment de facto, are not liable for official
acts.

The Emmett Guards give their second
annual ball and supper this evening at
the Cochran Hall, The proceeds are. to
be devoted to the purchase Of new uni-
forms. The most complete arrangements
have been made by the respective COM
mittees to make the ball and supper a
success. The Emmett Guards is com
posed of fine body of men, who deserve
the encouragement and patronage of the
public in this their laudable undertaking.
No doubt there will be large and fash

While well-known medical gentle
man was driving rapidly down Main
street, near Monroe, last evening, he ac-
cidently drove over countryman who
had stepped from behind hack, with
the intention of crossing the street. The
countryman arose to his feet after the
light buggy had passed over him, shook
himself few times and made for the
sidewalk. In this connection it may be
well to remark that, outside of the pri-
mary cause of these accidents-fast driv-
ing-there is another: the greater num-
Der of persons drive with loose rein,
which renders it impossible to pull up
horse within a distance of ten yards.
Parties driving through crowded streets
should drive at moderate pace and
keep lookout for pedestrians, who have
the right of way at all times.

DxlR USIoS AND JOURNAL AT the Metho-
dist Episcopal church there is quiet but pro-
gressive revival going on. Quite number have
recently found peace in believing. and others
are inquiring AFTER the way Of life. Thus Is the
worthy pastor, Rev. Mr.. Pilsbury, receiving
tokens Of the divine approval, in the very CON-
meueement Of his pastorste.
There are now from ten to twenty expressing
hope in Christ, who have not been baptized and
many inquirers. Last Thursday evening Rev.
Mr.. Turner after the usual devotional exercises,
spoke. His theme was, How the church must
invite men to Christ. The speaker said that
sinners should be invited distinctly. showing
that they need renewed heart, and adoption
into the Family Of God. The Sinner must also
be shown what he Is to do {: yiI-put away ex-
ternsl and heart sins and seek God. Fifteen
minutes were then devoted to prayer for imme-
date blessings upon the unconverted present,
aud ten minutes followed for brief testimonials.
The meeting was grand success. and they are
to be continued.
Miss Sarah Peabody, an elderly and we'll
known maiden lady was found dead in her bed
last week. She resided alone and was possessed
Of considerable means. Rumor has Il that the
immediate cause Of her death was poison, ad-
ministcrcd By her own hands, In the fear Of ul-
timately coming to want. Yours truly,

Mn. EDrroR.-0f course the first matter Of
Importance here and the well-spring Of activity,
Is the Portland and Rochester Railroad, 20 viii
say few words ON that wcll-worn subject.
Every thing wears lively air between Alfred
and this place, and also between Lebanon and
Springyale On the road between the latter
places, the work is being pushed as rapidly as
Is consistent with good workmanship. The
heaviest cutting and filing on the whole route
50 far, is being done at Shsw's ridge. Sanford,
where the accident occurred last week, caused
by the csvins in Of earth. by which. one man
lost his life, another was seriously injured, and
another badly bruised. The accident was caus-
oil more by carelcssness than by any other rca-
son. This is the only accident OF consequence,
since the road was commenced in earnest at
saco River. The lively aspect Of railroad mat
ter makes business Affairs appear far more IA
vorable than they have done for years. Many
new buildings. both for dwelling and business
purposes, are contemplated, but among other
branches Of trade, the manufacture Of boots
and shoes Is very prominent. In addition to
the several factories engaged In the boot and
shoe manufacturing business, Messrs Butler
& FOgg are constructing new shoe factory,
which viii employ about two hundred hands.
I. Il 10 said when the Railroad Is completed,
there is a strong probability that the Railroad
Co. win erect machine shops here. No moro
CONVENIENT place win be found on their route.
Water has been wasted here for many years,
sufficient to have run many manufactures.
Theliquor traffic has been brisk lately among
the "nsvvies'' employed by the Railroad con-
tractors, and II has been the cause Of many
slight "crimmages" at. their quarters, The
,piriis Of the dealers were dashed TO the
ground last week. when Deputy Sheriff Novel;
Of Sanford, assisted by Deputy Mitchell Of Al
