The managers of the Fifth and Last
Library Gift Concert seem determined
that its last effort shall be its greatest.
With this view they have engaged
Gilmore and his world renowned or
chestra 10 play them out of existence.
OF course, the cost of such an Orches-
ira is enormous, but they are determin-
ed to leave pleasant memory behind
them, and Gilmore is to crystalize il
into music, This concert will undoubt-
eddy be the finest ever heard out Of
New York or Boston. The orchestra
contains 100 performers, each selected
for his special instrument, and the
whole world can produce no music su
perior to that which will "play out u
the last concert. Only holders of tick.
cts, or parts thereof will be admitted

To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
People say we have the most
disagreeahie winter on record.
The weather is SO very chaugable
that every family IN our district has
more orless bad cold " in it. A few
weeks ago ] remember that "A strong
Gulf wind prevailed all day. and all
of Us were in Florida's atmosphere.
Every body forgot that it was winter,
and cast Off their heavy clothing, went
to work the same as people commonly
do the 10th day OF May. The result
was, that every pore In the skin be-
came heated up, and spread itself open
like the crater of Il volcano to throw
off the heated matter in side. The
next day the icy breath of the polar
regions came rushing in and there was
not pore in the Sth district but what
was frozen up so tight that no passage
at all could be made through il. Then
we heard everybody wheeling around
and saw them pulling their noses con
tinually. This state of affairs has ever
since continued, and our doctor says
that a number of persons are in bed
with bad colds, and he fears that n
rage of fever may result.

School at Powell's Station, from dis
lance. Three teachers are kept busy.
The Grand Jury has sent among
our whisky drinking folks for some in
formation, and we hope the grocery
at our place may be busted all to fin
ders.
n the limits Of our Station, lately a
pig came into the world without Il
head. IL had ears aud body all COM
plete but no sign of a head.
We have had 80 much rain lately
thar orr public roads are in an awful
condition. The fact is they get bad
after almost every rainy day. The
roads from the various wearing intlu-
ences which bear on them, especially
the running water, have all become
lowest in the middle, and when it rains
the water cOngregajes ia the center Oi
the roads, where every passing hOOi
or wheel stirs it into a complete pud-
dle-hole. Our present road law has
failed To raise the center Of our roads
and drain them, because the road work
ing part Of the people have been in a
state of mutlnly for twenty years,
from the fact that the present law is
unequal i'm it, working, "The poor
men work and the rich men 90 free y
has been the song every section OF
hands in the State has sung for a quar-
ter of Il century. The only work the
oyerseers have been able To get out OF
the hands has been merely to keep the
roads in a passable condition, and dur
ing every winter for the last twenty,
they have failed 10 keep the roads in
condition for even the lightest vehicle
to pass with anything like ease.
We need law that will tax real
estate, and one that will hire boss
and section hands the same as the rail
roads do, and law that will require
tbs roads to be kept in certain state ol

nanIngea Awarded.

Geo. T. Parker, of this county, some
time ago, brought suit against the E.
r., Va. and Ga. Railroad, for $4,000
Ia crossing over a bridge at a crossing
on the Railroad. Parker's horse got his
foot fast in hole in the bridge, which
afirighted him-he ran away and
throwed Parker so his foot hung in
the srirrnp, and he was dragged some
distance, in which he was badly hurt
at the time. For this Parker brought
suit in our Circuit Court. At the late
term il was taken out, by consent OF
both parties, and referred to Sheriff
Low, of our county, for adjustment.
On Friday and Saturday the testimony
and argument of counsel was heard,
aud late on Saturday evening the
Sheriff awarded Parker's damages at
Sc, $50 -- Cleveland Banner.

In tie matter Of he Bankruptcy Of Samuel C
Allen, a voluntary bankrupt.
Before HARRIS, j., at Chambers, 18th Febru
airy. 1875.
Mr.. Samuel G. Allen having complied with all
the provisions Of the bankrupt act, now petitions
for discharge from all bis debts, presenting sim.
utaneousy with his petition a paper signed by a
majority of bis creditors in value and number
within this Kingdom. The statute under which
he claims his discharge reads rs follows
Sec. 9S3 Civil Code" Every person Who
upon finding himself insolvent, shall declare him.
self bankrupt, or may have been udjudged a
bankrupt on petition, as provided in this article.
and who shall surrender. discover, and deliver
over to the assgnees chosen by his creditors, all
bis property personal add real, shall, with the
consent of a majority of his creditors in value
and number within this Kingdom. be entitled TO
certificate of discharge from all his debts, 10 be
given him by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court; provided. however, that no such discharge
shall release any person Who may be liable for the
same debt, as partner, Joint contractor indor-
ser, acceptor or surety for or with the debtor
Bot it is objected on the part Of Messrs. Will
lams, Blanchard & Co. and Messrs. WEIGH & Co.
doing business in San Franclsco, State of Cali
fOruia, that the applicant cannot have bis dis.
charge-First, because he has not the assent of
a majority Of his creditors in number and ouau-
tity, il they be taken to be in the Kingdom. as
they withhold their consent and they say that
though cOrPOrally outside of the Kingdom, they
are for the purposes of this statute within the
Kingdom, because they are represented here By
persons holding their powers Of attorney.
And inthis connection they say that the only
just motive for statute of this kind is to "saye
debtors from delay, in waiting the pleasure of
absent creditors"
Secondly, that il the statute is held to oust
these contestants Of equal rights to be beard on
the question Of the release OF the applicant, they
rely on the numerous treaty provisions which &C.
cure them all the civil rights which subjects have,
ito enjoy their property in as fell and ample
manner assubjects. "-American Treaty, Art 9Th.

property and the same right as native subjects"

1t is evident that by this section il vas in
tended to place the osense Of smuggling ia some
degree within the Jurisdiction Of the Police
Court but there is no cass Of smuggling speci-
fed 10 the Statute 10 which the dne is limited to
$500; the only clause which aHixes penalty
being that in the first Section Of Chapter 20 Ofthe
Penal Code, which enacts that oil persons
" deemed guilty Of the misdemeanOr Of smuggling
on conviction thereof. shall be fined not less than
Fifty nor more than one thousand dollars" So
that If the argument Of the counsel for defendant
should prevail, the Police Court would be dives
ted Of all Jurisdiction which is obviously wha. The
Legislature did NOT intend We think therefore
that the proper construction Of the Statute 10,
that the Police and District Justices have author
ity to bear oil cases Of this NATURE and when they
shah think that the ohense committed IS worthy
Of a iue not exceeding $500. they have the au-
thority to impose It. Bot II they shall think the
ofense committed worthy Of o fine greater than
$500, they must commit FOR trial
As regards the three further points Of objec-
ton, it is sufficient to say that neither the aiida
Wit upon which the warrant to search for the sus
pected goods was issued. nor the warrant itself
we're before the Police Court in this case. The
issue was solely the guilt or innocence OF the
prisoner on the alleged charge Of SMUGGLING. and
the alleged irregularity in making The seizure

trate
The questions raised as to the proper method
Of taking out and executing warnut to search
