Court came in at ten o'clock. The court
room was crowded to its utmost capacity and
officers were stationed in the aisles to keep the
crowd from encroaching upon that portion of
the court room assigned for the participants in
the trial. The proceedings SO far have been of
rather a dry character and not well calculated
to crafty any morbid taste.
County Attorney Mattocks then opened for
the government, occupying two hours and
twenty minutes, brief abstract of which is as
follows
jury:
1t you had no previous intimation of this
case, the large number of people now assembled
as spectators IN this court room would suggest
to your minds that matter is now under con-
sideration which has excited in this community
a deeper interest than any prosecution which
has been instituted here for some years. And
aside from that. not.only from the nature of
the offence charged, but from the character of
some OF these respondents, you would expect
quesuons to be presented to yon which would
require the most careful and candid censidera-
tlon. ana the greatest possible freedom from

We hope the representation of this cantata
tonight at City Hall, will be fully attended
Mr.. Hodgkins has been to great labor and ex-
pense in preparing it for the public, and the
bad weather of Friday and Saturday nights
prevented, we suppose, crowded houses. This
cantata abounds in beautiful music. 1t is, in
fact, picture of the most beautiful features of
rural life, arrayed in robes of the sweetest
music. The performers are almost perfect in
their various parts. Considering the great va
rety of music, scenery, and the dramatic ele-
ment, it is altogether the cheapest, as well as
the finest amusement presented to the public
this season
By the way. one of the first choristers has
been entirely overlooked by the critics. Imean
