p. X r Company, and the Gallaher-
Wright case awakened an intense inter
est among the whole people of Miffiin
and vicinity. Usually Court proceeding gs
are little thought of aud cared for by the
female portion of the community. These
two cases proved exceptions. The
lady portion of the community with
its deep sympathy for the unfortunate
Mrs BeaIe and Mrs Gailaher and Mr..
Wright, was quickened to its deepest
depth, and so moved the ladies that
they attended in numbers during all the
siitings of tie Court under the progress
of the trial of these two cases Under
the inspiration that the pr sence that fair
and pure woman always imparts. Coun-
sci were more courteous and brilliant.
jurors more attentive, and auditors or
spectators more deff-rental in all their
bearing. No Judge. ever before in Juni
alta sat on the bench with such an audi
/ ence to listen to his rulings and charges.
We do not know that any one Of the
ladies who graced the Court and honoreG
the uar;ies in the cases enumerated by
their presence, in the least degree, favor
the womans rights movement. yet it
Mrs. Anthony or Lucy Stone could have
looked into the court room on any one
of the great trial days. they would have
been moved to exclamations of delight
and heralde6 the Tact as the harblnger
of the new dawn in JunIata.
