CRIME AND DgATn.--The nature
of the dark and the sad events con-
nected with The recent sudden death
of Miss Selinda Patton, in this place,
are sufficiently indicated by the re-
port of the inquest published else
where. 1t will be observed that the
inquest is moi concluded, having been
left open no doubt for the purpose of
further inquiry with the hope that
the chief criminal NAV vet be I'M
earthed. On Sabbath, Mckee was
arrested, and the arres, of Hatch oc-
CURED on Monday evening. The lat
ter has been released Oh bail. All
the parties to the sad transaction are
respectfully connected and m my
hearts have been deeply wounded.
But whatever NAV be said of the
errors of the youag men, II is tie
older villain--the fend who goes
about proifcring his murierous SER
vices for pa!trv bribe--.tat is the
man upon whom society will desire
to see wreaked the vengeance Of out
ragged law. It needs 10 facilc pen to
point a moral to this tale. 1t can be
seen aud appreciated by any one who
reads or hears. Notwithstanding
this, however, those who have read
the newspapers of cur own state for
the past two weeks have seen the
sad story too often to think that the
evil will ever cure itself. 1t is a cry
ing one, and calls not only for the
discountenance of society, but also
for the most vigorous efforts to de-
tect and punish the offenders.

offerings, and young and old joined in
attention to the good cheer of the
christmas dinner. Ia the evening !
Sabbath school sociable was held in
the basement of the Methodist
church, with large attendance, nice
refreshments and very pleasant
time generally. The feature of the
gathering was the presentation by
the scholars of very nice Bible Die
tionary to Mr.. l.. D. ingm.n, who
has for a long time been the efficient
Superintendent of the school. It
was complete surprise to the recip-
lent, and The kindly regard prompting
The gift was appreciated by him and
acknowledged with much feeling.
The sociable adjourned at an early
hour.many ofthosc present embracing
the opportunity thus presented to re-
pair to the City Hall, where was in
progress Donation Supper,gotten up
by the Congregational Society for
the bene6, Of its Pastor. This, too,
was very pleasant gathering ard
fine success in every respect and es-
pecially as regards the intended
object. A large attendance was
kindly given by our citizens, and the
time passed in lively social converse,
which was apparently only stimula,-
ed by the severe skirmish with the
edibles that occurred at about nine
o'clock.
