THE pENNELL SUIT.
Pro Forma Verdict for the County for
$1l,554.7S.

The suit against Thomas Pennell to recover
the deficiency in his account as Treasurer Of
Cumberland county, was concluded Wednes-
day. when pro lorna verdict was rendered by
the jury in favor of the county for $11.54 rs.
This sum includes the amount which Mr.. PEN
nell alleges was stolen from his safe, the over
charges appearing on his books and interest.
The case now goes to the full bench on excep-
tions to Judge Libbey's ruling that robbery,
even if fully sustained, did not relieve the
treasurer from responsibility. If Judge Lib
hey is sustained the verdict of the jury stands,
and Mr.. Pencil and his bondsmen are holden
for the amount of the verdict. If it is over.
ruled then the case comes back and the ques-
ton whether or not there was robbery, is to
be tried by the jury

BERGER FAMILY AND Sol SMITH RUSSELL
This celebrated company are to favor our citi-
zens with one of their popular concerts next
Monday evening, and we hope they will be
greeted with full house. Sol Smith Russell
is humorist without being buffoon, and
while his interpretations of eccentric characters
are amusing to the last degree, they are wholly
free from Objectionable taints. The musical
elements of the company are all first class.
The Berger Family Parlor Orchestra is an Or
ganization of ten accomplished musicians,
seven ladies and three gentlemen. The same
persons, at another stage OF the entertainment,
appear as the Berger Family Cornet Band, and
at another, six of the members give perfect
performance of bell ringing.
The whole performance is elegant. and as
they have put their prices very low the hall
will probably be crowded. 70 see Sol Smith
Russell as "Dorcas Pennyroyar is worth the
price of admission. Reserved seats, only fifty
cents each, can be secured at Stockbridge's.

SEHURE.-The sheriffs made a number of
large seizures yesterday. They called at the
st. James, but found the door locked. The
window which they went through at their last
visit was securely nailed up, so they broke a
hole in the door and reached in and removed
the bolt. This proceeding collected large
crowd of curious people, who expected to see
row. They were disappointed, however, for
the officers were not molested in the least and
after making thorough search they left the
place with nothing to pay them for their trou-
ble The day before they had better success,
Under the store of Rufus Stanley on Fore
