FRIDAY, August l4th.
In the matter of Hosea Stevens Fad, OF
Rome, on trial yesterday, it became eviden,
from the examination of witnesses that the
deft was a person of weak intellect and still
weaker moral perceptions, such as almost
every neighborhood is infested with, to the
terror and annoyance of every body, but who
are difficult to be dealt with in court of law
from lack Of moral accountability. His
friends having offered to become responsible
for his good behavior, it was thought bes
that the case should be Withdrawn from the
jury, the deft. to plead nolo eonteadere ant
the case to stand for sentence at future time
And the matter was so disposed of.
State vs.. Michael Burns, Pillsbury and w
S. Choate for defendant. This is an indict
ment for smashing bottle partly full of liz
uor upon the head of Francis M. Bowman
keeper of the Farmers hotel, inflicting q
dangerous wound. The affair took place or
the evening of May 18th. Verdict guilty
State vs.. Henry L. Fuller, complaint un-
der the search and seizure clause of the l;q-
uor law, brought here by appeal from the mu
nicipal court of Augusta. rhe city marshal
found and seized few bottles of California
wine on the premises Of the respondent VIII
is the well know arothecary on Water
street. The question at issue Is whether sucl
wine is intoxicating liquor within the mean
ing Of the statute. Pillsbury for deft Yer
dict guilty.
There will be no further jury trials thistern
and both juries are finally discharged.

ny with Mr.. Thos. Sanborn of Boston, went
on to the East Winthrop pond, for the pur-
pose of fishing. on Thursday morning. They
were out during the great thunder temp est,
and did not return that day. No suspicion
was excited, as it was supposed that they had
left the pond, and gone to a friends on the
other side Of the pond.

city, and Mr.. Edward Leavitt, went to the
that time some alarm had been manifested as
to their whereabouts. Some men on the pond
who were inquired Of, said they thought they
had seen boat, but saw no men. On
proceeding farther, the parties came to
the little island in the pond known as "Lady's
Delight" by the side of which was anchored
Babcock's and Sanborn's boat. Under a
cedar tree, not far from the boat, were found
the bodies of DR.. Babcock and Mr.. Sanborn
cold in death, killed by lightning. They
were on each side of the tree, under which
they had probably taken refuge from the tenn
pest DR.. Babcock's watch was stopped at
thirteen minutes before nine o'clock, indicat-
ing the time Of the sad event. DR.. Babcock
was badly burned and his clothes torn from
head to foot, even the very soles of his
boots being ripped off. He was an I'M
married man, greatly respected in Hallowell
for his upright department and christian char
acter. He was about 80 years of age. Mr..
Sanborn bore no marks Of the lightning. He

demnred, whereupon Darling locked
up the tools belonging to the Gene

the occasion, aud Sexton number one

two broke open the Toulouse, and
the tools were secured. Sunday, time

carried to their final resting place.
