The attendance at Prof. Sanborn's

was Prof. Sanborn with his-"The

Last Friday Michael Larry, dI5as
Michael Gainor, Of this place, was
brought before Justice George A.
Cossitt, upon three complaints Que
for an assault upon William Lower,
another for an assault upon Aaron
Pixley, and third for an assault up
on Aaron Plxley's wife. The re-
spondent asked a continuance, i. con-
sequence Of the absence of a material
witness, and the case was postponed
till Saturday at 10 a. IN. The trial
lasted all day, and resulted in the
conviction of the respondent on
the first and second complaints,
and his acquital on the third. The
testimony for the prosecution tended
to show that the respondent on Sun
day the 18th inst; went to the house
of of Aaron Pixley, in Dalton, where
all of the complainants live, and af-
ter having some talk with the old
man PiXley, went along to where
Louisa Pixley,a girl Of 10, was sit
ting upon the bed, and undertook to
pull her off the bed by her feet.
This, it seems was the signal for a
general melee, in which Gainor struck
Aaron Pixley and William Lower,
and received in return divers blows,
and a charge of pease fred from
shot gun in the hands of one James
Pixley. The defense set up, as near
as we could learn, was the bad reputa.
ton of the PiXleys and the fact that
the shot which Gainor received was
q sufficient punishment for the otfense.
The court fined the respondent $l1.O0
and costs, amounting in all to $41.30.
b. Fletcher and j. g. Crawford ap-
peared for the State, and Ossian Ray
for respondent.
