THE CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE Now
MENT. Father Henneberg has been
waking up the Catholics of our neigh
boring county of Lafayette on the
subject of temperance. Societies have
been formed in many parts of tie
county embracing hundreds of active
members. We learn that in Darling
ton alone 1900 persons have signed
the total abstinence pledged aud in
the county 2,400. Inc Catnolio
church is trying to purify itselt of
drunkenness throughout the world,
and from present appearances it will
succeed gloriously.

THE RA1LRoAD.-The Times of
Dubuque does not speak very en-.
couraginsly of the prospect ofrailroad
connection with Lancaster, judging
from the lack of enthusiasm for the
project evident in that city. 1t says !:
"The people Of Lancaster are still
talking railroad. Dubuque can beat
the men over there sadly on the talk,
but when it comes to money our "big
mouths" suddenly run dry. Talk a
five hundred dollar subscription to the
best talker we've got, and he'll vanish" "

walks, in city and village corpora
tons, must be made and repaired at
the expense of the corporations, and
not at the expense of the individuals
owning property on the side of the
street where the sidewalk is built.
The decision is based on the ground
that both street and sidewalk, regard
less Of their width, are the property
of the corporation, and no tot the in
divlduals owning lots along side Of
them, and that the sidewalk is built to
accommodate the public, and not to
benefit owners of property.

THE CouRr.-The Circuit Court is

THE CouRT.-The Circuit Court is
still in session. To outsiders the
progress in court has appeared to be
slow, and the business transacted TO
be of a trivial character, but outsid-
ers as mass are not competent Judges.
The court is free institution and is
open to all; and all who resort to it,
whether right or wrong, must be fully
and fairly heard. The judge cannot
PREJUDICE, the iuries cannot without
trial give in verdicts, the witnesses
cannot be confined to conciseness in
their evidence, nor the lawyers re-
strained in their arguments. So that
every case, whether for horse steal
ing or horse doctoring, for murder or
for malicious tresspass, is entitled to
full and patient investigation, re-
gardless of time, labor or expense. A
free and fair administration of law is
the safeguard of the people, and if the
people themselves, of their own ac-
cord or through the advise of counsel,
burden the courts with frivolous com
plants, they should with patience en-
dure the necessary delays, and with
out grumbling pay the costs. The
first case tried by jury-Varrell VS.
Church, after occupying between two
and three days, resulted in a verdict
for defendant. The case Of Gumphrey
VS. Lyons brought out a verdict for
plaintiffs Of $50; and the case of Cox
and McCabe vs. Kirchenbush a ver-
diet for plaintiffs of IS. The case of
Gingrigh VS. Carmody and Finnegan,
resulted in verdict against Finnegan.
T. r. Chesebro obtained verdict of
$40 against Bennett, for assault and
battery, which would hardly pay the
doctors bill. The State has been but
little more fortunate in its cases. The
case of David Duncan was brought to
an harmonious close by the marriage
Of defendant and complaining witness.
The case of State VS. Walters is doubt
less ended, as neither the complaining
witness or the defendant can be in
duced by love, money or the Sheriff
to come into court. The case of JAS
per Wayne, for assault with intent to
kill, resulted in a conviction of the as
sault only without the intent. The |
case of Pennypacker VS. Sanford d
Chase was decided by the jury in |
favor of plaintiff. The Judge and |
jurors have been prompt in their at
tendance, and the new Sheriff deserves
particular notice for the dignity and
with which all his duties
have been performed from the COM
mencement of the court to the present
lime. No one would imagine this to
be his initial term of Sheriff of Grant |
county.
