POLICE CoURT,-We never saw so hard
q struggle to have session OF the police
court as that the officers experienced yes
terday morning. Owen Conuery had beer
released from Jail Thursday morning
having Finished thirty days term In
that institution. To celebrate the event
Owen got terribly intoxicated, and going
home, raised a first class row with his
wife and children. 30 violent did he be-
come that they fed to q neighbours FOL
safety. Word was sent to tho officers
and they arrested Connery, lodging hin
in the lookup. Yesterday morning
when the usual hour arrived for holding
the court, neither His Honor, the clerk
nor the witnesses were present. An OF
fcer was dispatched for the latter and
soon returned, having been successful
Then another was sent for the court, and
third for the clerk. Finally, near clever
o'clock all the elements OF police court
were brought together, and the trla
commenced. The testimony we have
given above, substantially. Judge Rogers
imposed fine of i've dollars and costs
or twenty days. Tho prisoner entreated
to be let of with ten days, but the court
was inexorable, land 3d." twenty days it
had to be. Some men can't appreciate
the blessings Of liberty, and Owen Con
merry seems to DO one OF them.

An IMPossB1ITY.-A freight car just

from It's mooring, and thrown Squarely
across the rails, causing a slight delay in
the train on the Hempaeld getting into

The Jamestown Journal says that
Thomas Ray, Of Freehold township,
Pennsylvania, went to the woods one
day last week, with team of horses,
and while there he hitched his team
20 a tree he had cut and lo1ged some
years before, to draw it down. When
he started, the tree being rotten broke
in two abaut twenty feet from the
stump; and fearing the top would fall
on him, Ray ran from his team under
the body of the tree. Here he be-
came tangled in the brush and deep
snow. and the tnp end of the butt of
the tree struck him on the hip, crush
ing it fearfully. Drs. Smith and
Wright were called and the bones set,
and the patient we'll cared for. 1t
was feared at the time that there we're
internal injuries which would prove
fatal, but he is now doing we'll and
strong hopes are entertained of his
coming out all right.

The Titusville Courier has the fol.
lowing item in regard to Jos. X. Tar.
ner:
II is now about a year and hal {
since Joseph X. Turner, young law.
yer of this city, was consigned to the
penitentiary. The facts connected
with his arrest. trial and imprison-
ment are familiar to all Our people. 1t
was the general opinion then that his
sentence was much more severe than
his crime, or the crime he attempted
to commit warranted. We have late.
ly talked with person who has seen
Turner. He is now lying sick in the
prison hospital, and it is doubtful that
he will ever recover. His father is
more than eighty years of age. He
has no influential friends to whom he
can appeal to aid him in procuring q
pardon for his son, and is too old and
feeble to attend personally to the get.
ting up and cn culating Of petition
to the President. In view of these
facts, petition to President Grant
will he drawn up and circulated here
in Titusyille, praying for the pardon
of Turner.
