LOCAL AFFAIRS.


Departed this life, at bis residence in this
county on the 26ih inst, GREENBURY NJ. WAT
KlNs, in the Gsth year of his age.
IN this death we are called to mourn the
loss Of one Of our most esiimable and useful
citizens No one unacquainted with him in the
home and social circles Of life can form an esti-
mate Of the void created by his death. None
can supply his place by the home freside, and
no one can I'll his place TO the many he has
made happy by his congenial temper, his aid
in pecuniary matters, and his counsel and ad-
vice, especially TO the young men by whom
he was surrounded, many of whom owe all
they have in life to this kind and departed
friend. None in our county had deeper re-
gard and veneraton for religion. For long
life he has been n member Of and for many
years has filled the Office of elder in the
Presbyterian Church, and while firm and
stcadfast in the faith Of his Church, it was ever
n pleasure to him TO aid in all and every
cause for the advancement and prosperity Of
his Masters kingdom, and in all enter
priscs regarding thereto he was ever willing
and ready to use his energy and spend the
means with which Providence had blessed
him, free from sectaran bigotry or bias, as
can be testified TO by all religious denomina-
tions that sought his aid or his counsel.
As n public man be has represented his
county several terms in the State Legislature,
was a member Of the Constitutional Conven-
lion of 1867, and for many years has been a
director of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. In
all of these positions he discharged the duties
devolving upon him with credit TO himself
and with fidelity TO his constituents and the
public interests. Truly, it may be said, his
has been life well spent, and his loss is one
deeply to be deplored,

Circuit Court.

The March Term of the Circuit Court for
this county still continues in session with una
bated interest and a daily increase of persons
in attendance. The hotels are all occupied to
their utmost capacity with persons connected
with cases removed to this Court for trial
The Grand Jury was discharged on Tuesday /;
very few indictments, compared with other
sittngs of its predecessors, were found IL
censes were granted for the sale of whskey TO
all who made application. The following
list of cases have been disposed of since our
last sssue with an unprecedented confession Of
judgments:
State VS.. Robert Buchanan (colored) lar
ceny, after the second trial, the jury fail
ing TO render a verdict in the first, was ac-
quilted.
State vs. VIM. II. Spencer charged with an
attempt to poison cattle. Mr.. Spencer, one OF
charged with the misdemeanor by near
neighbor of his, who WAS only induced by a
splenetic feeling to make such n charge, for as
is proven it is without any foundation.
When the case was brought 10 trial, by a
slight technicAlity, the indictment was
quashed, and upon the secoad attempt of the
State the Grand Jury refused to find bill
against the accused.
State VS.. Frantz Heey, selling whiskey on
Sunday, guilty, and fined $40
State VS.. Thos. Brogden, larceny, guilty,
and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year
State VS.. Richard b. johnson, larceny,
guilty, and sentenced to The pcnitentiary fol
one year
John s. Reese & Co, Of Baltimore fer;ili.
zing firm, against John t. HelFner, of this
county. This case occupied the whole OF
Tuesday and Wednesday, and on Thursday
at the time of going TO press, is still in prog.
ress. 1t is alleged by the defendant that The
| 'Pacific Guano," bought of the firm fol
which he had given his note, and used upon
| the wheat crop, was detrimental TO the wheat
and worthless compound. Tho plaintiff
proved 10 the reverse. The evidence is very
conflicting and therefore it is thought that the
jury will be unable to agree.
The Nutting -BarnesIy case for the recovery
ofand, which Mr.. Nutting left in the care OF
his wife twenty-seven years ago and was sold
at public sale to Mr. Barpesly, has been de-
ferred TO the next Term of Court.

And in regard to railroad fares, at the re-
cent timetable convention in Cincinnati it
was the unanimous opinion that the extension
Of the limit on excursion tickets should be in
creased TO sixty days from date OF sale. AS
there was not time to secure this extension by
action of the General Ticket and Passenger
Agents Association, the trunk lines, being
the parties most directly interested, were re-
quesled to issue general notice Of the propos-
ed change, which was done in a circular
signed by the general passenger agents Of the
New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Erie
and Pennsylvania railroads, requesting all
lines IN the territory west Of Detroit, Toledo,
Cleveland, Crestline, Columbus, Cincinnati
Including tickets from these points, and
south of the Ohio river to print their centcn-
nial excursion tickets TO Philadelphia and
New York so that they will be valid for pas
sage sixty days from date Of sale, and also
that half centennial excursion tickets be sold
at one-half Of The agreed excursion rates for
use by children between the ages of five and
years

DEATHS =

DIED, on the llth of March, 1876, at his
residence at Stonngton, in tbs county, Mr.
PHILIP STONE, in the 60th year OF his age.
The subject OF this memoir was born in
Newark, n j., May llth, 1916. His parents
moved TO Washington city while he was an
infant, and at the age Of seventeen he was
placed upon the farm where be passed the re-
mander OF his life. His career was that OF
an unostentatious country gentiemnni deeply
attached TO the home he had chosen, absorbed
in providing fer the comforts Of "a large and
aiitcliunate family, interested in and aiding
every enterprise for the benefit Of the commu-
nifty, a kind and oblging neighbor, full OF
generous sympathy for and benevoent in ac-
ton toward the poor and unfortunate, his life
was vastly more useful than that OF many
whose restless ambition demands a wjGer
field of action. He was man OF spouess
purity and unfaltering integrity OF character :
maintaining throughout lite u resolve OF ms
youth, he never INDUCED in the use Of intoXi-
eating liquors His charming aud hospitahie
home was rendered always attractive by his
gentle courtesy, his refined and easy manners
and by the genial glow of his eminenuy cheer
ful and social disposition Utterly uDseliish,
his chief pleasure consisted in minlsterlng 10
the enjoyment of others. A regular aud de-
vout attendant upon Divine services, all his
life exercised upon the subject Of religion,
aud fully instructed in the Gospel plan OF sal
vation, yet his deep sense Of personal un-
yorhiness had prevented him from availing
himself of all the means of grace afforded by
the church. As he was graciousy warned by
the raVages Of disease Of his approaching end,
the last week OF his life was passed in earnest
and almost constant PRAYER, and he was
enabled so to exercise faith in the atouemcni
of our blessed Saviour as to warrant US in
the belief that he died n Christian, aud is now
safe with that ''blood- washed throng who
have made their robes white in the blood OF
