bic Michael Casey went 10 Plymouth township to
levy upon the goods of James Connell but was
resisted and returned for assistance. Police Off

caded it. When the officers approached they were
fired upon, Reibsenner receiving three balls, one
in the head and two in the body. lie was brought
to this city where he lies with no hopes OF his
recovery. Casey was also shot, and is now in
Plymouth in a very critical condition The
news created an intense excitement in this city
Sheriff Kirdendall collected posse, armed with
rifles, and went to the scene.
Two of the Councils have been arrested and
are now in the city prison. The others at last ac-
counts were surrounded so that they could not es-
cape. The whole family are desperadoes and it is
feared that they will fight to the last.
LATER.
The sheriff and posse returned at o'clock this
evening with old man Council and three more OF
his sons. The posse numbered 100 men, armed
house and demanded the surrender of the Con-
nels. They refused, and the old man, who is 20
years old, threatened to shoot any one who APP
preached with hostile intent and declared he
would die before he would be arrested. Three
men were then placed near rear window, to
cover the Councils, while an attempt was made to
break in the front door, which was heavily barri-
caded. Several volleys were fred from the in
side while this was taking place, but no one was
hit. Everything being in readiness, the door was
in and overpowered the Councils. They fought
desperately, but without avail. When the posse
entered the city the whole population was in the
streets and the excitement was intense.

SALT AND ARSENIC MIXED.
Sensational Kitchen Item.
CARGO DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY.
The Mixture Recalled for Inspection.

New York, April 30. The Commercial says that
the British ship Niagara arrived at this port form
Liverpool on the 4th inst. with a cargo of 1850
sacks of salt, 100 barrels of arsenic, and other
merchandise The salt was slowed IN the lower
hold and the arsenic IN the between decks. Du-
ring the voyage heavy weather was encountered
and the stowage of the betweeu-decks cargo was
so much disturbed that some of the packages OF
arsenic were broken and their contents distributed
about the decks, possibly iutermngling with the
salt. Upon the ships arrival the CARO- was dis
charged and delivered to the c,n-ignccs, and the
sa was old to various parties and most of it sent
out Of the city. Subsequently fears arose that
some of the arsenic might have found its way
through the seams of the deck to the lower hold
and come in contact with the salt. To see wheth.
er it was the fact portion of the salt was placed
in the hands of chemist for analysis. The re-
suit showed unmistakable presence Of arsenic in
that portion of the cargo Accordingly, with i'm
mediate dispatch. the poisonous salt ordered
back to this city for thorough examination and
destruction If found necessary.

Further Particulars of the Fire
at Oshkosh.
NINE PERSONS REPORTED KILLED.
The City in Possession of a Gang OF
Thieves.

New York, April %. A special telegram give.
the following additional particulars of the fire at
Oshkosh;
Twelve mills, the Beckwith House, Harding 5
Opera House, the two telegraph offices, the Chi
cago & st. Paul Railroad depot, and number of
other important buildings, were burned down
within 10 minutes.
At half-past three o'clock about a mile and a
quarter of territory east and west, by over a
quarter of a mile in average winth, was burned
over, with very few buildings left standing
During the fire several explosions were heard
and it is reported that five or six men were killed
by the blowing up of powder magazine, but the
confusion so great that it impossible to
ascertain the truth
Many determined attempts were made to renew
teegraphc communication with adjoining cities,
but the only line available was that of the North
Western Railroad.
All the banks and printing offices destroy
ed, and several hundred houses burned to the
ground. Two men have been taken from the ru-
ms ard it is certain that line must have met theii
death during the fire.
The city is in the poSscssi OF gang of thieves
and vigilance committees are forming.

Legal Decision.

An opinion of the court in of much inter-
est in this county has just been announced at
Portland, and the rescript smitted here where
the action is pending. The action is Eliphalet
Pray rs. Nathan o. Mitchell, both of Gardiner,
and was brought to recover share of the profits
accruing to an association formed for the purpose
OF harvesting and marketing ice. The enterprise
turned out to be very successful one, the profits
being immense. The plaintiff claimed that he was
a member of the association to the extent of one
sixteenth interest in the same, having been adj
mitted by the defendant, who was the general
manager of the concern. The action has b. en-
twice tried to a jury, the plaintiff recovering
Si,450.74 at the October Term, 1871, and S5099.-
50 at October Term, 1873. Both verdicts have
been set aside by the Court on the defendants
motion for new trial. The following is the re-
script accompanying the last decision, but it does
not appear which OF the judges drew the opinion !:
Resciipt. Upon u careful examination and
analysis of all the testimony in this case, we are
clearly of the opinion that the verdict Is so mani
testify against the weight OF eNdercc IS TO make II
duty to set it aside.
How sincerely soever the plaintiff may believe,
he has testified, that he contracted with the de-
PENDANT to be "let in with him for certain inter
est in his share, and expected him to represent
both in the company" we think it is morally GER
tain from all the evidence taken together that the
defendants mind never met the plaintiffs in any
such proposition. The constant ignoring and pos
tive reputation of any such interest by the de-
PENDANT, cannot be otherwise explained. Neither
is there any recognition of the plaintiff as an inter
ested party inconsistent with the defence set IN.
Had the enterprise, through fire, flood or other
wise, resulted disastrousy to the parties to the
articles Of copartnership and the action had been
Mitchell as. Pray for contribution, we should
hardly anticipate recovery.
Notion sustained. Ne,p t,i0l granted.
Clay and Libbey for plaintiff. Pillsbury foi

came to him and advised him to go, and he sup
posed Beecher withdrew his objections. lie had

Garden BOnfires.

Mr.. EDITOR Harden bonfires are very inter-
csting to Young boys, especially when illuminated
by the darkness of night but the evening is an I'M
safe time in which to crafty the urchins in cities
and villages where the gardens are near neiShbor-
ing buildings. When the pile is supposed to be
burnt down, there will be living embers concealed
under Il ashes; which, should the wind arise in
the night, might be driven into dry yards where
there are combustible material and before morn
ing the house Of the proprietor. or his next neigh
Dor might he destroyed. We always make our
outdoor fires in the morning, and then they may
be watched all day, till everything is safe at
bed time. We once was awakened III the night
by a light shining into our bedroom. On arising,
we found that sparks from a neighbours garden
bonfire, made in the evening, had been drawn by
the wind into our barn yard and the flames were
within six feet of our buildings. This week we
knew 4 man employed after 10 o'clock p. NJ. in
going into his neighbors garden and eXtngush-
ng the embers left by his boys after they had done
amusing themselves with their evening bonfire.
He felt that he could not retire in safety. ID.
We agree with correspondent that great
care should be exercised in the lighting of garden
bonfirc,, especially where the gardens in close
proximity to buildings. But I'D " is certainly old
enough 10 know that the torch to these piles of
rubbish is generally applied in the evening, not
for the purpose of an illuminated exhibition, but
because the atmosphere is calmest at that time.
lnerc have been but lew Gays TINS spfinG when II
would have been safe during the daylight to burn
brush piles; but the evenings have been calm and
beautiful and "the smoke Of their torment" has
assembled, affordiag harmless amusement to ''the
urchins" and doing no damage to property. Bat
evidently "D." is one of those nervous individuals
who either ought to keep his property well insured

be troubled by near neighhors, or bonfre-loving
