sealed up and nearly finished and the engine
house is about ready to receive the machine
ry, Last week the proprietors received an 90
horse power engine from Providence.
Extensive improvements and eularpements
have been and are being made at the corn
canning establishment of J. Winslow Jones in
Pennington. When the buildings now nearly
completed are finished, and the additional
cutting troughs, presses and boilers are all
in, the capacitylof this establishment will be
more than doubled. An addition of 61x25
feet has been made to the bath room, making
the total size OF this room, in which the corn
is boiled, l2x25 feet. Here are now "a boil
ers-twice as many as heretofore. In what Is
called the sealing room, where the corn is
pressed into the cans and sealed up to be
boiled, three new presses have been set up,
making six in all. This is a new building.
3oxlO feet, story and half. Upper story
used for storing empty cans fast as they are
made. Estimated number already on hand,
between 100000 and 100000, and twenty
men and boys working like beavers every day
manufacturing more. They complete some
5000 cans per day.
Mr.. Jones expects that the 400 acres of
corn which have been planted expressly for
his factory will yield not far from 1000 cans.
About 50 feet south of the bath house, on
,""o recently purchased OF Mr.. Manter, has
been erected a storehouse 65x43 feet, sort of
one story hip-roof, the centre of which is a
story and half. This building is connected
with the bath house by broad platform. and
will be stored, ready for shipping, the cans
after they have been secured, labeled, and
boxed ready for market
The securing process, heretofore done by
horse power, will be done by steam.
| long shed is to be built in which the
husking will be done. Bins, or partings, are
| to be made in which each mans corn will be
placed when it is delivered, so that there
| shall be no such thing as mixing one persons
| with another, thus giving the exact measure
to all.
In fire, all the arrangements of this re-
modelled and enlarged establishment are as
near perfection as it is possible to make
them. y
The cutting room, bath room and sealing
room being al! separate, much of the confu
sion which has heretofore existed will be
avoided.
1t the corn should come in as it is expect
ed, some $50 cutters and about 100 other per-
sons will be employed in the work of canning
and preparing for Market Pennington

emf sad anything about any condition to the
note. If you believe Mr.. Bean, and the ref
erees, who have testified here, there was that
statement made before the referees by the
respondent, that this was conditional note.
Then gentlemen, it is argued to you that
from the testimony, it would be unnat-
ural for man situated as the respondent was,
to give an absolute note. 1t is said that I'M
der that contract, Mr.. Whitman had contract
ed to deliver to the respondent 229 forks,
and lie had received only lG5, and those prov
ed to be worthless, and up to that time he had
already advanced him something over $500,
and it was argued that under those circum-.
stances, that what was testified to by the re-
spondent would be natural; that he would not
give an absolute note when he was thus stu
ated, and that the note which was given was
merely to accommodate Mr.. Whitman, that
he might pay his note in the bank but if on
that reference it turned out that Whitman
had fulfilled his contract, why, then the re-
spondent would pay the note, and that was
the cause why he wanted the reference before
the maturity Of the note
Well, gentlemen, the respondent inyokes
his good character, and you have heard the
testimony from those who have known him
for number of years. They say he has
maintained a good character as an honest,
upright citizen. In doubtful cases, good
character should always be called to the aid
OF party, but where there are cases of no
doubt, then good character VIII not aid in
diyiduals thus situated. Then there las been
testimony introduced tending to show, if you
believe it, that Mr.. Whitman, who has been
witness in this case-that his character for
truth and veracity is not reliable. Then on
the other hand there have been about as many
more called, aud they say, some Of them, it
is good-it has rever been questioned. 9th
ers say that it is good: although they have
heard it discussed in the streets and in the
stores. SO that on the whole it reyerts itself
into question of fact. purely, for your con-
sideration. If you are satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt that on the trial Of that civil
cause the respondent committed the crime of
perjury, which constitutes wlfuly false testi-
mony III a material point in that case. why
then it will be your duty to say so, but if you
are not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
that he did thus wilfully commit perjury, then
it will be your duty to acquit him. &c. gem
uemen, decide this case as you think you sill
be justified, from the law and evidence.
The jury could not come to an agreement
and were discharged.
