The eighth juror in the Stokes case, by
the name Of Centre, has been arrested since
the Stokes trial and convicted of talking
about the case contrary to the instructions
OF the court, and of receiving bribe, for
which be has been Hued $3.50 and sentence
ed to two months 10 Jail. He lie now 10 the
cell that Stokes occupied last at the Tombs.
Is this light sentence all that q man gets
10 New York City when he commits perjnt
~, and with it, an outrageous contempt Of
court. Had Z citizen OF New York City
failed TO appear as witness or juror, after
being subpeued, be would have received

difference then between tardy juror and
one who commits perjury aud received q

yea, more, | can almost say scores. To
say that the result of this rllinous traffic
is blasted hopes of parents and ruined

that darkness follows day, or death the
steps of an eXecutioner From time to
time few spasmodic efforts have been
made to lessen the sale of this destruc

for want of sufficient moral courage to
touch the rum seller Two or three
temperance societies have held their
weekly meetings for several years, and
no doubt have eXerted good influence
upon their individual members but
like other agencies, have not gone far
enough to suppress the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors.

Sunday evening temperance meetings
were began at the Village Hall. which
have been well sustained every week
up to the present time. An hour which
does not conflict with any of the rcli-
gious meetings is chosen. Stirring
speeches are generally made 10y the
clergymen and other prominent men of
the village. A pledge is circulated.
which most every evening receives Il
good number of names.
