The Assault and Battery Case.

The trial Of Mr.. W. B. Neeves be-
fore Justice Woodwork, for assault
upon the person of 7. G. st. Amour,
was held at the City Hall, on Thurs
day and Friday of last week, occupy
ing with the arguments of counsel two
whole days. Fhe evidence elected
upon the trial relative to the ordering
and making Of the suit which was ad-
vertised in the Tribune by Mr.. st.
Amour, and out of which advertise
ment grew all the difficulty, was SO
crooked and Numerically opposite in
character, that we can reconcile the
contradictory statements only upon the
hypothesis that the human understand
ing is liable TO err previously. Crook
ed whisky becomes painfully straight
an comparison but we draw the man
tie of charity over all the testimony
willing to believe that both parties in
tended to state only the facts in con-
nection Herewith. Both parties ere
represented by prominent council,
Messrs. Powers & Briggs being en-
ployed for the defendant, and Messrs.
Webb & Gardner for the prosecution.
The argument by Mr.. Powers was
able; all the facts were clearly set
forth in a mastery manner, and an
appeal made to the court in behalf of
his client which under other and less
aggravating circumstances must have
gone far towards securing an acquit-
tai. The verdict of the court was a
fine of forty dollars and the costs of
the suit. We think public sentiment
almost universally approves the decis-
ion of the court. The testimony of
the defendant alone, We think warrant
ed the rendering of just such a YER
dict. There seems to have been ne
paliating circumstances by which the

Friday several stalks of tender pie

the mammoth variety. They were as

grown out of doors, the roots being
covered with barrel and well banked
with decomposed horse manure. The

A Fact Worth Knewing-Are
you suffering with Consumption,
Coughs, Severe Colds settled on the
breast, or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs? If so, so to your Drug.
gist T. j. Wood and get a bottle Of
BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP. This
medicine has lately been introduced
from Germany, and is selling on its own
merits. The people are going wild
over its success, and druggists all over
our country are writing us of its won
derful cures among their customers.
If you wish to try It's superior virtue,
get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents.
Larger size bottle IS cents. Three
doses will relieve any case. Try it.
Stop Your COugh.-The wonder.
full results and immense sale Of Hale's
Cough Cordial the past season, ought
to convince the most skeptical still
we are going to continue the same lib
eral offer that we have made heretofore.
viz: Any person suffering with cold,'
cough or sore throat, who will call at
Robinson & Schultz Drug Store and
purchase a bottle Of Hale's Cough
Cordial, use one half of it, and if they
then conclude that it is doing them no
good, they can return the balance and
receive back their money. Who would
not test this medicine on such Liberal
terms? No medicine ever sold in this
vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All we ask is that you will
try it.

 There IS an immense amount of snow about about here, and the roads in many places are not yet broken through. The other night S. B. Johnson had a narrow escape from an accident that might have been serious. He was driving a pair of spirited horses down hill and being heavily loaded, and the severity of the storm making it impossible to see ahead the horses left the road, and pitched headlong into the fence. He succeeded in extricating them and was fortunate enough to escape with no other incon- venlence than somewhat disagreeable and prolonged exposure to the storm.
 Services are now held in the chapel as it is impossible with the present arrange ment to heat the church comfortably warm during this extremely cold wealth CT.
 Il. M. Whiting lately shot an im- mense bird on the premises of Lyman Johnson Esq. which was at first supposed to be hyppogriff and finally turned out to be nothing more formidable than a hoary old chicken thief of the owl species that carried of his prey on wings five feet from tip to tip.

SNow.-The snow was 12 inches deep in the woods and the great storm last Friday night increased it to two feet Many teams started out on Saturday morning, but the wind rose, and the snow filled the air. and it was soon evident that travelling on the East and West roads must cease.
 -TRAMPs.-We had seen none for some time, but they have again made their appearance.
 -CHB1sTMAs.- Notwithstanding the tremendous blow, last Saturday, which started hundreds of tons of snow towards Litchield, there was good attendance at the Church in the Center, and we listened to good Christmas sermon from Rev. MT. Hagen and we had praise service in the afternoon, interspersed with numerous passages of scripture relating to the birth of Christ. The choir sang the hymn, "While shepherds watched their focks by nlght," to the ancient tune. "Sherburn."
 Ar HOME DURING VACATION. Clarence N. Brewster, from New Haven; Edwin White from the College at Middletown, and Miss Cynthia White, from Waterbu- ry.
 WIRE FENoE.-We shall watch that fence made last Fall by MT. Wm. Davis, on the North side of the road west of the East St. School house. and see if it con- tlnues to answer the purpose for which it was designed. The result of our first great blow was long drift in the lot by the South feuce, while the whole width of the road was free from drifts. HIN.
