Because farmers have set price up-
on their grain consistent with its cost
in money and labor, and refuse to sell
for less than that price, certain CONNER
cial and economical journals expect the
whole social system to come toppling
down. 1t is certainly somewhat nov
ell thought for farmer to do, but not
for an iron, woolen, or cotton manufac-
turer, or coal mining company.
When the market price is not satisfac-
tory to these producers, they withhold
their produce for market or stop manu.
featuring, caring little for the "toiling
millions'' who have to purchase their
products. Self preservation is the first
law Of nature, and the farmer is as we'll
entitled to this protection as any other
man. To deny farmer the right to
hold or sell his grain when he pleases,
or to fix his own price upon it is to en-
slave him.-.N. Y. Tribune.

Supreme judicial Court-Danforth J. Pre-
siding.
TUESDAY, March 10th, 1874.

TUESDAY, March 10th, 1874.
The jury came in this morning with a YER
dict of acquttal for James Gray and wife,
tried yesterday for breaking into the house of
John ii. Gray and committing a larceny
thereia.
A Jury was empanneled to try Thomas
Haley, charged with secreting an escaped
prisoner and assisting him to avoid a recap
ture. After one or two government witnesses
had testified. the defendant thought best to
abandon the defence and throw himself on
the mercy of the court. 1t appearing that
the old man was not aware that in so shield
ing his friend he was committing an offence
against the law, he was permitted to depart
on the payment Of forty dollars, enough to
cover all costs.
Joseph HELEN and John Hayes were ar
raigned and put on trial for violent assault
| and battery upon Mary B. Cullinan. The
parties are Irish living in the western part of
the county. 1t was disreputable, drunken
row, such as rarely happens nowadays in
neighborhoods where the salutary influence of
the Priest can be brought to bear more direct
ly upon his people. 1t is long time certain
ly since any such brawls have disturbed the
peace of the larger towns. The trial had
proceeded but little way when the defend
ants, by advice ofcounsel, concluded to retract
and plead noio contendere. The Judge fined
them fifty dollars and costs of prosecution,
and ordered HELEN to find surety for his fu
ture good behavior. They complied with the
sentence.
In the afternoon William Britt and Charles
Carter were put on trial for breaking into
Frank Pierces periodical store in January
and stealing eleven dollars in scrip and small
coin. Titcomb and w. S. Choate counsel for
defts. Trial not finished.
