BADLY HURT.-Last Wednesday morning
John Painter, who was employed at the Auburn
Brewery, hitched the team to the wagon as u.s.
ual for the purpose of going out with load of
beer. No one at the time happened to be in
sight, and this is all Painter himself remem-
bers. But soon after the team came running
down the hill and through the town at a terrible
rate. The rattle of the wagon must have called
out the hands from the brewery, and they found
Mr.. Painter lying in an insensible condition
near the gate which opens into the street from
the brewery yard. They picked him up and
sent for a physician, who found on examination
that the man WAS very seriously injured. Two
of his ribs were broken, his arm badly bruised
and the blood oozing from the ear, which indi-
Gated that he must have received severe con-
cussion of the head. 1t is hard to tell at pres
cnt what will be the result of his injuries. So
far he is doing very WELL and it is thought lie
will recover entirely in due time. 1t is the
opinion that the team must have started as
he was in the act of climbing on the wagon,
and that he fell and was either run over by the
wagon or kicked by one of the horses, or both.

4 PARTY of young ladies and gentlemen,
some twenty in number, went on a picnic
excursion to Nyehart's Woods, near tie
Rising Sun, on Saturday afternoon last.
The day was one of the finest of the season,
and what with Copenhagen, and other plays,
most delightful time was had. The fun,
however was somewhlt marred, by the
meanness of some miscreant, who, while the
party were at supper, took the Copenhagen
rope, and so knotted it as to render it
unserviceable Such characters should, by
proper punishment be taught to stay away
from such places

UI IIIC
COMMITTEE.

CRAWFORD claims to be the champion
dairy county of the State The growth o.
that branch of industry since 1870 and dur
ing the past year said to be something marve
lous. There are thirty three cheese factories in
thecounty, the total cost which is $3.50, 900.
The number of cows, whose milk goes to
these factories, is nearly fifteen thousand, the
stock being worth half a million of dollars.
The total product of cheese for the season of
1873, that is, from May Ist to October lst.
will amount to the enormous figure OFFS, 400
900 pounds, bringing over half a million net
cash to the farmers Creameries are also
being established, and butter promises to d.
vide with cheese, the attention of dairymen
though of course there has been falling off
in that item, cheese making being more
profitable The above facts we condense
from the Crawford Journal of July 3lst.

Court Proceedings Continued.

lD addition to the cases reported last week,
the Court was engaged in trying the follow
ing cases
Huston VS.. Shoemaker-Sci f, to secure
Judgment on a Mechanics lien This case
has occupied the attention of Court and the
public for several years past. The main in
terest grew out of the smallncss of the de-
mand 500, and the large amount in costs
which had accurred as well as in the parties
who were willing to risk so much to secure
or save so little. In the spirited manner in
which the evidence was marshalled pro. ct.
con, it was plainly evident that the old
Jacksonian mottO-'not one cent for tribute,
but millions for defence ruled the hour.
After patiently listenining to the evidence
and arguments of Counsel for three days, the
case was given to the Jury at about o clock
on Thursday evening. On Friday morning
a verdict was rendered for defendent for
81 9S. Subsequently a motion for a new
trial on the part of the plaintiff was denied.
G. W. Step VS.. c. S. Palmer. This was
an action to recover for professional services
rendered. The case was given to the Jury
at about 5 clock, and appeared to engross
more and occupy more time and attenten in
the Jury room than in the Court room.
Verdict for plaintiff, for $ll7.
Peter Kunkel and Michael Super vs. Pc
ter r. Storm. Action to compel the specific
performance of contract for the sale of
lands. A formal verdict was taken from
the same jury that tried the Seip and Palmer
case. Verdict for defendant.
After going through the argument list
Court adjourned.
In all the cases tried except the last we
learn applications for new trials were made

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
for the nomination of candidates for Judge
of the Supreme Court, and State Treasurer,
assembled at Harrisburg yesterday. Though
at the hour Of our going to press we have not
heard the result of their deliberations, we
are satisfied that at the time of their adjourn
ment the delegates will have done their work
so faithfully and we'll that there will be no
occasion for cavil
1t is to be expected that the friends OF
some whose aspirations led them to hope for
nomination will be disappointed, and that
their disappointment will, for a time, lead
them to say some hard things, and make
ugly threats: 1t is also to be expected that
Democratic leaders and Democratic organs
viii cry Ring frauds, and say many other
foolish things over the result, but such
things are natural attendants upon the action
of Republican Conventions, and should be
looked for The general result will be just
what it should be- Good, honest, reliable
men will be nominated for the positions to
be filled, and the end will be triumphant
election of the ticket nominated, in October
next. This has been the experience of the
party from its beginning, and there is no
reason why we should expect any other
result now.

all the rest was the knowledge of the fact,

live to enjoy many, many more of them.

The annual meeting Of the National
Educational Society at Elmira last week
was very interesting event. All the
States, with scarcely halfa dozen excep
tions, were represented. Leading educa.
tional men, snch as college presidents aud
professors, State and county superinten
dents, and instructors in every field were
present and took part in the discussions
General sessions or meetings were held
10 the mornings and evenings, while the
afternoons were given to the four sec
tional departments. Dr. McCosh, OF
Princeton, read paper on Upper
Schools which received much attention,
and was the basis of an active discussion
The necessity for more good preparatory
schools was generally urged. Superin.
tcndeDt Wickersham made strong argu
ment in favor of close organic connec
tion between the different grades of public
schools, leading from the primary school
up to the college, so that a complete
education may be within the reach of
every child. This is a favorite project
with Prof Wickersham The advisability
of government grants of land for educa-
tional purposes was discussed President
Eliot, of Harvard, said that dependence
on such help was demoraliziug. President
Eliot has quite a youthful appearance
very different from the venerable bearing
we are apt to look for in one in that posi-
tlon, but his great ability is acknowledged
on all sides. An interesting feature was
the presence and participation of the
colored State Superintendents from
Florida and Louisiana On Thursday a

Gov. Seymour. of New York. The asso
citation adjourned on Friday, with feeling
that very satisfactory and profitable
session had been held.
