tracied ihiiber in great measure, hare no
doubt, by the high reputation of the Ladies
of Bethel and Summit in such matters. The
tables were spread in the basement Of Bethel
Church, covered with all the deicacies of the
season soon supper was announced as ready.
Had you been there Mr.. Editor, think you
would have agreed with me, that every one
was intent on enjoying themselves to the full.
There being good things in abundance it was
determined by the ladies to continue the next
evening. But 10 when the evening came, it
was rain. Not willing that anything should
be lost, few of the friends met and resolved
to try it the next evening-no time for public
notice, few of the friends went around and
gave notice Of the continuation. The even
ing being more favorable there was quite
good turn out, all seeming determined to
make the occasion success. There was quite
a nice little sum raised by some mischievous
ones, beside the fun of the thing. Mr.. C.S.
E. being desirous of presenting bis friend J.
A. ]. with a cake, went around without his
friend knowing it and collected funds for the
purchase of the cake, and so it went on un'il
there was quite number of cakes raised in
the same way. Now comes the joke, all being
ready, the pastor Rev. G. R. Brist.r calling
each one forward in regular order and pre-
senting them with cake about the size Of a
biscuit, each recipient receiving
their cake with thanks, stating their belief
that the best goods always come in small
bulk, last, though not least of all, the man who
was broke by his liberality was called for
ward and was presented with big apple.
The ever ready Brooks being on hand, the
was soon disposed Of to advantage.
Thus ended Mr. Editor, one Of the most plea
,ant occasions of the kind that has ever been
my good fortune to attend. Now Mr.. Editor,
'or the financial result, $500 nett, which tax
ng the unfavorable weather into considera-
ion, think is hard to beat. MANOR.

On Tuesday last a male gypsey came to
town for the sole purpose, as was afterwards
discovered, Of getting drunk. He was very
cuccessful indeed, he was good and drunk
Unhitching his horse, he made several at
tempts to get into his dearborn, and when he
finally succeeded he saw that the lines we're
on the back of the horse. These, too, were
obtained, but they we're tangled so complete
ly that they could not be used as guide to
the horse, so the animal started in a run to-
wards Townsend Every carriage on the
road was passed without injury but the dear
born was run into the hedge two or three
times; the wagon was upset and the gypsey
thrown out and his face considerably bruised.

last to wreck the train on the Delaware rail-
road, due at Middletown at 7.45, between
Armstrong and Middletown. The train first
struck half dozen old crossties. Samuel
Barnes. the engineer, reversed bis engine, and
put on the air brakes in moment, and when
the train stopped, bar Of railroad iron was
discovered lying across the track just in front
of the engine, showing that the malicious
persons were determined to throw the train
from the track by one of these two obstru-
tons. Nothing about the engine was broken
except the pump, and it was continued on the
trip. The Del. R. R. Co., it is expected, will
offer reward for the arrest of the party or
parties who perpetratrd this outrageous but
fortunately unsuccessful attempt at wholesale
murder. People hereabouts express no sur
prise at the boldness of the villains, as we
consider that the punishments Of the law are |
altogether uncertain of infliction-in fact
our experience is that the guilty go free.

Ang0ra Goats.

Last Summer, J. ". Sweeney purchas- ed of Gov. Stafford one almost pure An gora buck and one eve of the same breed the price paid for both being S225. The Sweeney thought his investment a bad one, but now he has ffty-siX fine bali breeds in healthy and prosperous con- ditlon at PIcacho station, sixty miles west of Tucson. He is now convinced that the goat purchase was profitable, and that the country is well adapted to AngOras. The samples of manufactured goods re- ceived here, from the wool of the Ango- ras, at Jamestown, New York, with the favorable reports of the manufacturers, do much to encourage owners of these goats, to continue to increase them.
 MT. Sweeney found much annoyance from the coyotes, but he has invented and applied means of poisoning them with out endangering the goats. He takes pieces of timber a few inches in diame- ter, cuts them into blocks three to four inches in length, bores hole in one end of each and fills it with a poisonous com position to suit the taste of the coyotes. \ night, after the goats are brought into the corral, he takes a sack full of these prepared blocks and scatters them in the trails of the coyotes, and in the morning before the roats are turned out, the blocks are gatL cred up and saved for the next night, and so on. The coyotes find the blocks and naturally lick out the bait slowly and death slrely follows. Mir nc nas pIcSed pGat ane many has not lately lost goat from any cause. His plan is cheap, simple nd effective.

THE Territorial grand jury at the late session of the district court, found twelve indictments. The trial jurors were sum- mOned to appear for duty on the 18th and were finally discharged on the 20th-all criminal and some civil business having been disposed of in that short period. The court met on last Monday 10 sentence the prisoners, and the following appears of record: John Adams, convicted of grand larceny, was sentenced to ono year in the penitentiary; YsidOro MariniO, convicted of grand larceny, sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, and same person was convicted of felony, but on the jury'S rec ommendatiOn to mercy, was only sen fenced to three months in the penten- tiary. This practically ended the term, which was, business considered, quite in- expensive to the county. Court meets on next Monday to dispose of two equity cases and some law motions.
