was guilty ofa crime-eE bezzlement,

will have to be tried again.
The case of Huston vs.. Huston was
petition to set aside the will of
Thomas Huston, late of Milton town
ship. The gronnd taken was that Mr..
Huston's mind had SO far become I'M
paired by age and infrmity, that he
was not competent to make a will.
Nearly all the neighbors were brought
in to testify. Some thought that he was
not competent, while others thought
he was. The jury sustained the will.

"Notes by the Way" Last week,
among other things, he said:
"John James keeps ,cag. ging, as usu-

we expect will grow up TO be oxen, in
short order. This the second pair Of
twin calves he has had this year. His

Now Mr. James ought to get rich
A man who has prolific cows, aud who
himself can produce twin calves twice a

Court Of Common pleas.

The Court Of Common Pleas for the
fall term has just closed, after session
Of ffiveweeks. Judge Guthrie held Court
two weeks, and Judge Plylsy three
weeks. This is perhaps the longes!
term ever held in the county. Two ca
ses occupied nearly three weeks. These
were the cases of Jones vs.. Jones, and
I. Huston Vi Huston. There were some
seventy Or eighty witnesses in each
case. These cases were otso much i'm
portancO, that they deserve more than
ordinary notice.
In the year 1854, John ], Jones came
to Portland, then village just laid out
He had only few hundred dollars cap
ital, with which be engaged in the
clothing business. We did business as
clerk and salesman in house across
the street. from where Mr.. Jones did
business, during the first two years aud
q half that he was there, We had
much to do with him then, and have
bad good deal ofbusiness TO transact
with him since that time, and we must
say that We always found him to be an
honorable and truthful man. He was
4 so regarded by all that community, with,
perhaps, some rare exceptions. His
business gradually increased, and as he
accumulated means he put up fine bull
dings, and extended his business, car
rying on a general store, until his sales
amounted TO from thirty five TO forty
thousand dollars per year, being larger
sales than any house or firm in the
county, with the exception of the furna-
ces.
Carrying on general store, and sell
ling such an amount Of goods, and be-
ing agent Tor the Express company, and
also for the Railroad company, of
course he must have clerks and sales

Free Schools.


TO Editor Of Ne,cs The Trustees
are very happy to notice the altered tone
of Republican, in your issue of last week
compared with his former a-ticIe. He
does not now assume that our existing
schools are formed upon an ant.republi-
can basis or t!'at they are for some an
mentioned crime but. it now appears
that he thinks no schools whcrc colorcd
children are allowed to attend will be
patronized by them on the account of
the prejudices of the phites against the
colored. But we ask Republican how
school can be truly a free school orga-
nizcd on a Republican basis. and be free
to all classes ON the same conditions. and
yet either class be prohibited from at.
tending such schools ? If another Aee
school should be opened in this district
and should colosaa child wish to at.
tend, who has the right to drive soid
colored child, from said free scbool ?
Will Republican become the guardian
of said school, and drive away al the
co!ored who might prefer to attend If
he should not do this, and eolored child
should attend said school, would not tho
prejudice against the colored child
break up the school by scattering the
whites.
But as far as we are able to iudee
the great majority of the white peopIe
OF this section are opposed to my himd
OF free sci'oOfs. They regard free schools
as nuisance not to be tolerated by the
noble blooded aristocracy of this section.
1t !" looked upon us a sort OF Yankee
aud niger" institution which has been

all who tore Me South, aud worship Mt

will not vote for free schools. nor ma

The United States Scnatorship.

This election came off on Wednesday
last. Il. j. Robertson was reelected by II
complimentary majority The contest
was warm in the extreme, and every spc-
cies of elcctioneering resortcd to and cx-
haustod. Several colorcd candidates
were in the field, and who, to Judge from
the drifts Of their appeals to color, would
never have dreamed of running for U.
s. Senator, had it been their fortune or
misfortune to have been horn white.
"Our poor oppressed eolorcd race" was
the cry Of every black man that offered
himself for the position OF its effectu-
ality, even upon the sable portion of our
Legislature; let the result of Ale struggle

who solicited the votes of our General
Assembly on "Wednesday Inst for that
position, were guilty Of such Intentions !;
but we do emphatically assert that their
appeals to color were indicative of such.
AS it is, Robertson is reelected. He
is an energetic and hard working man.
For these and other reasons, we are glad
of his success.
To stay at home, is the fate of those
who made their mournful and plaiutivc
7appcals to .men Of our color" Exneri-
ence, perhaps, will yet be severe enough,
especially, in the cases of these men, to
teach them that to know r,au on ac-
count Of previous condition race or coler,
is unrcrabiican, and that those who
thus discriminate, will ere long meet
that oblivion which such course must
necessarily create for them. 1t is

say the least of, very Intellectual. "My
