THE HARRISBURG HoMICfDE.-The
trial of Elias Keeney, for killing Wm,
Pelton, which began on Thursday of
last week, continued for about thirty
six hours, and as the testimony devel-
oped the interest of the community
grew more intense, until, by the time
the examination of witnesses was
closed and the arguments of the coun-
sci began, the court room and sur
mounting gallery were literally packed
with crowd of ladies and gentlemen,
eager to catch every word which fell
from the lips of the eloquent lawyers
employed In the case. District Attor-
ney Humphrey opened the argument
for the prosecution, and was followed
by Judges Strahan and Williams, on
behalf of the accused, and Mr.. Helm
closed the argument for the common
wealth. Able and exhaustive address
es to the jury were made'by all of these
gentlemen, all seeming to realize that
their professional reputation was enlist
ed by the magnitude of the cause. His
Honor, Judge Bonham, delivered q
clear, comprehensive and purely inn
partial charge to the jury, aud the case
was then submitted to them, at about 8
o'clock on Friday evening. After being
out until about IL A. NJ. of Saturday,
the jury returned with verdict of
'.Not Guilty." and Keeney was dis
charged from custody, to his undis-
guised relief, and that of his friends.
We are told that Keeney is soon to be
married to an estimable young lady OF
this county. A full account of the pro-
ceedings in the Keeney trial will be
found on the first page of this paper.

ImpoRrANr FARMING IMpLrMENr.--

IMPORTANT FARMING IMPLEMENT
Mr.. Daniel Best is stopping at the st.
Charles Hotel in this city with the
model of Porto BILE Grain Separator,
which is now being manufactured at
Marysville, California. This is un-
questionably the finest machine for the
purpose we ever saw. 1t has aeapacity
for cleaning from 10 to 60 tons of wheat
per day /; and will clean 10 tons daily to
each hand engaged. It will thus be
readily seen that it is great labor saw
ing machine. tits perfectly adjustable
to any quality, kind or condition of
grain. 1t is propelled by a horsepower
attachment. 1t is adapted for perform
ing job work, being light and COM
pletely portable in every respect. The
machine was patented in 1871, and last
year Mr. Best manufactured and sold
thirty-five machines, one of which,
used in Alameda county, CAL, for
about so days last season, cleared
$3.50. Mounted on wagon and horse
power complete, the machine costs at
the Marysyille factory 5000. Nr. Best
thinks he will bring one of these ma
chimes to Oregon and run it here dur
ing the coming harvest, so that our
farmers may fully understand its
claims to their favor. He designs sell
ing the right for their manufacture in
Oregon, where they can be manufac-
tured much cheaper than in California,
as all the timber used in their construc-
tion is shipped from Oregon. If this
machine comes up to the standard
claimed for it by the inventor it will
undoubtedly supercede any other i'm
plement used for its purposes. Mr..
Best is also the inventonand patentee
of an improved apparatus for Coating
Seed Wheat with Sulphate of Copper,
which is decidedly useful, cheap and
simple.

a DUN.-We would be under many
obligations to those owing US If they
would settle up as soon as possible.
We know that money is scarce and
hard to come at, but the most of our
debtors are only owing Us small sums,
which, if paid, would amount TO a
handsome aggregate to Us. We are
indebted in the sum of several hundred
dollars for new material recently pur-
chased for eur ofiiee, and must pay it
Mt an early day. INe respectfully ask
all persons knowing themselves to be
in our debt TO call and settle, or send in
the cash by other means of convey
ance.

tie children being wholly dependent
upon her for support. We trust our

lily. Their case appeals to the tender.

SENTENCE OF J. d. MAY.-J. d.
May, convicted of perjury at the recent
term of the District Court in this city,
was brought up for sentence on last
Friday. In response to the question oi
the Court: "What have you to say
why the sentence of the law should not
be passed upon you ?'' he said:
Judge, I have only this to say: II
! have erred il has been an error of the
head and not one of the heart. l had
no inducement offered me to impel me
to do wrong in this case. l have not
been approached by the men against
whom my evidence was given before
the grand jury. All [ ask is that my
sentence may he as short as the Court,
in its Judgment and wisdom, can make
it. i ask this, not for my own sake,
but in behalf of those who cannot be
other than innocent of any crime in
this case, but over whose lives dark
cloud has been cast by my fate. / beg
that they may be spared rs much as
possible through the leniency of this
Court ] am Row ready for sentence" !"
Judge Bonham, in very feeling
manner, said from what he knew of
the case he felt disposed to be as lenient
as possible It was, however, his duty,
unpleasant though the task might he,
TO pronounce sentence upon him. The
Judge then sentenced bay to two years
in the Penitentiary, which is the short
est term that can be given for the crime
OF perjury. \ petition is being circu-
lated and numerously signed by the
citizens of this county asking the Gov
ernor to exercise executive clemency
in favor of May, on account OF many
circumstances connected with the COM
mission of MS offence, chief among
which is the fact that he has an iDBo-
cent and helpless family.

AN EDUCATED FIDDLEg.-In the
trial of Elias Keeney last week, wit

doing at the ball that night, to which
he proudly replied: "My services, sir,
were brought into requisition at mod
est and scarcely remuneratiye salary,
to discourse appropriate and witching
strains of harmonial music upon the
violincello in the orchestra during the
Terpsichorean festivities of the even
ing" The counsel thought he had
only been hired to scrape cat-gut.

HARD TO PLEAsE.-A week or two
ago a man asked us to put his name in

not just in the manner he expected
he threatened to stop his paper. This
is only one instance OF how hard men
are to please In point of fact, an ed
itor VI ould be a miserable ass if he
should hope to please everybody. He
can't do il. II he omits anything, ne
is lazy. If he speaks of things as they
are, people are mad. If he CLOSES over
-smoothes down the rough points-he
is bribed. If he calls things by their
proper names, he is unfit for the posi-
tion of an editor. If he does not fur
nish his readers with jokes, he is a
mulIet. IF he condemns the wrong he
is good fellow, but lacks discretion.
If he lets wrong and injuries go un-
mentioned he is a coward If he fails
to uphold a public man, he does it to
crafty spite-is tool of a clique, OF
belongs to the '-outs." If he induIges
in personalities, he is n blackguard /; il
he does not his paper is dull.
