A curious story Of 'equal rights and
Impartial Jurors" comes to us from Ken
lucky A case was on trial in Lexington,
wherein the jury failed to agree, the plain
till being negro and the defendant
white man. The amount in controversy be-
ing SMALL the plaintiffs counsel, to save ex-
pense and further litigation, proposed to
accept the verdict of the majority, and end
the controversy. As the proposition was
about to be accepted, one of the jurors
caught the eye of the defendants attorney,
and shook his head, thereby intimating
how the jury stood. The movement was
observed by the judge, who promptly cited
the juror to appear for contempt of court.
The juryman was severely rebuked and
censured by the judge, and was, also fined,
but subsequently pardoned on the plea of
ignorance and the promise to offend no
more. Perhaps it is safer to rely upon
such jurors rather than on the judges.

The NEW York CITY DEBT.-The
debt of the city of New York is now ole
hundred millions, and half as much more
is wanted to pay its obligations. This in
dicates that its real estate is mortgaged for
one-sixth of its entire value, while at the
same time the people pay twenty million
taxes. 1t is not wonderful that rents are
so high that the poor groan under the bur-
den. The indications are that the reducing
of the debt is almost hopeless. When the
population of New York city was 100000,
the taxes reached five millions and were
thought enormous. With three-fold in
crease they should not now exceed fifteen
millions and the remainder is said to be ex-
hausted by the system of fraud which the
notorious ring established. The financial
condition of the city offers discouraging
prospect to its citizens.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.-On Thursday
night, the 18th inst, Joseph Fitzgerald of
Central Falls, r. l., attempted to murder
his late brothers widow who resides in that
town. He had often made proposals of
marriage to her which had always been de-
clined. This time after receiving the usual
answer he stepped up to her and drawing a
large butchers knife from his bosom, say
ing, "Ill lay you out in white before
night" he attempted to plunge it into her
breast. The lady made desperate resist
ance, although quite small and delicate,
and finally succeeded in getting the knife.
Fitzgerald still kept hold of her and draw
ing out his jack-knife he opened it with his
teeth and was about to use it when the
screams of the victims mother attracted a
a crowd who rushed upon Fitzgerald and
secured him. Halt dozen men were re-
quired to bind him and he was carried to
Jail to await his trial on Tuesday. Mrs.

THE SHIP FEVER. Board of Health
of the City of New York are considerably
alarmed in consequence of the appearance
of quite large number of cases of ship
fever in that city. 1t appears a crowded
emigrant ship arrived at that port some
two weeks ago, and the passengers were all
landed, after being passed by the health
officers at quarantine, with the usual short
delay; but whether the seeds of the disease
had not developed themselves openly
among the emigrants, or from whatsoever
cause, the germs of the fever have pro-
duced the accustomed results on shore.
The cases were not reported to the health
officers and the only excuse offered by the
medical attendant is that the public mind
would become nervously excited at the re-
port. The question arises whether the
whole country shall be subjected to the ter
rible scourge of ship fever by the derelic-
ton of duty on the part of the medical at
tendants at Castle Garden.

FATAL AooIDENT.-As Mr.. Frederick
Knowlton of Worcester, Mass, and his
partner, p. G. Bacon, jr., were at work,
on Saturday afternoon last under their ele-
vator which was being pulled up the hatch
way with 800 or 900 pounds of paper upon
it, the elevator gave away and the whole
weight fell to the floor. Mr.. Knowlton
was instantly killed while Mr.. Bacon es-
capped with slight bruises. The deceased
was about 90 years of age, the son of Hon.
J. S. G. Knowlton, the former Sheriff of
Worcester county, and leaves wife and one
child. The accident indicates gross care
lessncss on the part of the person who put
the elevator into the building. A coroner's
inquest is to be held when it is to be hoped
the responsibility of this disaster will be
fixed upon the person whose criminal care
lcssness is the direct cause.

The Connecticut River Railroad.

The Connecticut river railroad is
the especial pet of the Springfield
Republican, both because it is expected to
be powerful aid in the endeavor to injure
the Central Vermont railroad, and because
its aid is important in developing Spring
field interests and enterprises. If any cor
poration will help in either of these causes,
the Republican will not expose it, or say
anything to its Observation-Disclosures 1t be-
comes monopoly or entitled to any other
of those choice names which it has been in
the habit of applying to Vermont institu-
tons. 1t publishes, however, Monday, a
letter from correspondent at Amherst,
which it Enthusiastically denominates ga
growl," because, forsooth, it tells so much
truth in SO few words. Let the correspond
ent speak for himself. SIN recent number

IL tried, win the greatest persistency, to
crush the Canal road, did all it could to
embarrass the Rutland and Burlington, and
has thrown every conceivable obstacle in the
way of other lines which enter or propose

have built expensive extensions and
branches, this road has done nothing
further than build or buy the Easthampton
branch, and to prove itself grumbler of
the first water. The threats of the Con-
necticut River road have long been an old
story, and the near completion of the Athol
line, from the Vermont Central at Barretts
to Springfield, seems to have called out
'one more howl against Gov. Smith and

BURGLARY AT MoRRIsvILLE.-The gro
Gerry store of ii. II. Elmore at Morrisville,
was recently entered during the night, and
three or four dollars, mainly in fiye-cent
pices, together with large quantity of
oysters, cigars, beer, etc, extracted there
from.
The next night he left no money in the
store, but next morning found evidence of
the store having been enteisl, and some
small wares taken, as before and SO on
the next morning it was again evident that
his night customers had not withdrawn
their patronage, whereupon he determined
that if his store was to be kept open nights,
he would be there himself, or by proxy, to
tend it. So he secured the services of two
officers and they secreted themselves in the
store, and it was not long before Albert
Meacham of Hydepark appeared and pro-
ceeded to help himself to eatables and
drinkables. He was of course at once ar
rested This Meacham is man thirty or
thirty-ive years old, and is about as con-
temptible looking a specimen as is often
como in contact with. In his testimony
before the justice court, he alleged that
Rufus Clark of Morrisville, had entered
the store with him ON the three first nights ;
that he CLARK took the money, and that
both took part in carrying off the goods.
He also said that George W. Montgomery,
of Cady's Falls, had agreed to meet him
and Clark in piece of woods just out of
the village, on one of the nights mentioned,
and that he was to bring with him two
girls but that Montgomery and his nymphs
had failed to appear Upon the testimony
of Meacham, Clark and Montgomery were
arrested, but the latter was discharged
without hearing, and Clark, whose ante
cedents have been at least doubtful, was
discharged after short preliminary trial,
there being but little testimony to corrobo-
rate the story of Meacham, which was evi.
IDENTIFY false in some particulars, and of so
little value any way. Meacham was bound
up in the sum of $500, and in default of
bail was committed to the county Jail, to
await the action of the grand jury at the
next term of the county court

Thus at Glens Falls there are nine mills

large thorn bush from his field, thorn

bone where it broke off, leaving a portion
of it about an inch and half long in the

remove it, a physician was sent for, who,
with surgical Instruments, succeeded in ex-
tracing it. The shock to the system was
very great, the leg being benumbed while
the thorn was i'll.

the German newspapers published in this

Germany. Such newspapers are required

Shall We Have Gas |?

That we ought to have it in our town
no one will deny. Shall we have it?
How are we to get it? Can we have
it? These are the questions that our
citizens have now to answer. The COM
pactness with which our town is built,
and many other things connected with
it, render it an easy matter to erect Gas
Works and light up the whole town, at
little expense comparatively speaking.
Those who would take hold of it and
subscribe stock, would find that it would
pay them well for investing their money
in that way. We think it not necessary
to discuss the advantages of gas over
other kinds of light. Every one must
know them already. 1t is ten times
safer than oil. There can be no danger
from explosion. 1t is cleaner and much
more pleasant to handle than any other
light. Its brilliancy makes it desirable.
AS we stated last week, Mr.. Steenbergh
who is now putting up Gas Works in
Coshocton, would invest $4,000 if the
citizens of Millersburg would invest
$4,000. This is an offer that is not
made every day, and one that our peo-
pie should receive favorably, inasmuch
as it is greatly to their interest to do so.
Let our men Of means talk over this
matter, and sec if something cannot be
done. Millersburg is improving, and is
bound to improve still more rapidly. A
dollar invested now will be worth three
by and by. We don't want to do all the
gassing ourselves, but we do hope for
this once, at least, the talk and efforts OF
others, also may finally end in gas.
