and agreeable society of fair companions
could not resist the temptation of an
evening sleighride; and as the sleighing
is excellent, the road rs hard and crisp as
the frosty air can make 1t, everything
promised a splendid time. 1t appears
that after q very pleasant ride AMI much
social chat with the Indy occupants of the
sleigh in going out of town, 1t was thought
best to return. Hardly hal the horses
heads been turned in the direction Of
home. than the high-mettled chargers
Pat forth their full speed and became I'M
controllable. The sleigh bounded along
ut lightning speed, scattering its load
right aud left. rs reported but how the
robes could have been found in the con-
dition they were, was not explained. No
lives were lost during the scrlmmage, and
both team and occupants of the sleigh
returned safely TO town.

been consumed in the trial Of Vim. II,
Bethards, who is accused Of murder.

both day and evening, the trial has been
going on. The case was given TO the

DIsGUsrED.-The Winter being upon
us, and feed getting short, it is not to be
wondered at that a tough steak should be
had occasionally. While listening to a
youth, who had by accident got hold Of
one of these in a restaurant. a few days

Nor EVEN ONE DUcK.-The old and
experienced hunters, who started some
ten days ago to destroy every vestige Of
life in the wild game so plentiful between
this place and Troy. returned a few days
since; and, much to the disappointment
of their many friends, who had been al
most fasting for days past, in anticipa-
ton of a feast hat kings might enjoy,
the noble hunters returned without n
vestige OF game. Not a duck. IA snipe,
nor even a squirrel, to satisfy the watery
mouths of those who had wished them
so much success on their journey. May
they have better success next time.
JUSTICE CoURT.-John Doe Dix was
brought before His Honor b. X, Davis,
this week, for a crime against the State.
The case was dismissed. Our town, with
but few exceptions, can not be surpassed
for good behavior ON the part of its citi-
zens by any place in the State. This
was the only case for breach Of the peace,
and il was unfounded.
