 OFFIcK OF THE DEMOCRAT,
 Thursday Morning, Dec. 14.
 Since our last, business has show decided improvement and our streets have presented an active, lively appearance, being crowded almost every day with wagons bringing cotton, apples, and other produce to market. The weather has been very nice and, altogether the state of trade ano commerce has been better.
 Cotton has remained depressed under the influence of the unsettled condition of affairs, and the war-like appearance in Europe. At present writing the foreign outlook Is rather more pacific and better feeling has prevailed in the cotton markets of the world.
 The following figures may be talk en as fair quotations: COTTON

9th ers.-This was the first jury case heard.
The case had been prev iously tried by ju-
ry, and resulted in failure TO agree upon
verdict. The pllinlif' claimed and tes-
lifted that a band of rioters gathered in
front and about his buildings, situated in
West Brattleboro, and made great dis
turbance that these defendants called for
the plaintiff to come out of his house, and
upon his failure TO do so threw stones
through the windows, nailed up his front
door, put washing machine upon the
chimney of the building, and put his car
rage across the fence, and caused the plain
tiff by their acts about $3.50 damages. Mrs.
Goodenough was also introduced as a wit
ness on the part Of the plaintiff and id6nti-
fled several of the defendants as being en-
gagged in the riot. Tie defendants denied
having taken all part in the rotous pro-
Gee dinGs described by the plaintiff aud in
troduced witnesses to impeach the plain
tiff's witness, Mrs. Goodenougb. Verdict
for defendants.
Josiah ID. Vhitney as. First National
Bank Of Brdtte6oro.-Thisca cause had been
previously tried in tho county court, and
was remauded from the Supreme court for
a new trial. Upon the evidence the court
directed verdict for the defendant. The
Supreme court held that a bank was not Ii
able for special deposits, having no author
ity to take the same. The case Is TO be car
ried TO the U. S. courts.

This was an action of replevin to recover
for the valuo of quantity of hay which
the plaintiff had attached upon writ in
favor of Daniel Marsh V. G. C. Lynde. The
def. claimed that he purchased the hay in
good faith of Mr.. Lynde, which was not
doniedi but the jury found that he had
notice of the attachment before no moved
the hay, and the court held that upon the
evidence there was no change of possession
that would protect Mr.. Alexander in his
purchase. Verdict for plff., for S40623.
The jury have been discharged, and
number of cases will be heard by the court.

dance of witnesses, and no jury case was
ready after the trial of The case of IIerrick

The postal law as finally passed blythe
senate, does not change the present rates
ofpostago for third class matter, except in
in relation to transient newspapers and
magazines, upon which the rates are re-
duced TO one cent for every three ounces
or less, and one cent additional for each adj
ditional two ounces or less. The absurd
attempt 10 regulate rates according to dis

AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

In 81. Michael's (Catholic) church the
Feas. of the Resurrection was celebrated
with the usual solemnlly. During the lent
en- season the church presented gloomy
aspect, being Invested of its brightest orna-
ments and richest robes. But on Easter
Sunday its garb of mourning was laid aside,
and it put on joyous appearance. The al
tars were decorated with profusion OF nat
ural flowers. First Mass commenced at s
O'Clock a. m, and last Mass at 1890, during
which the pastor, Rev. II. Lane, delivered
an eloquent and pathetic sermon. The
choir SD pg ON the occasion Gregorian Mass
in d, Haec Dies in G, duet for soprano and
alto by l.. Bordese. The Benedlctlon of
the Blessed Sacrament aud Vespers took
place at 1880 p. M, at which great number
attended.
Al THE UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH
The decorations were more extensive and
elaborate than on any previous occasion
the most elaborate, in fact, that we ever re-
member TO have seen in this town. In front
of the altar and on either side stood a large
pyramid of the choicest greenhouse plants
in full and magnificent bloom ON the al
tar were beautiful bouquets OF cut flowers /;
flowers adorned the organ front; from the
centre of the ceiling, from each of the side
arches, in front of the organ and over tho
pulpit hung baskets of choice plants, while
from the centre overhead to each of the four
corners, along the side arches and in front
of the organ, hung festoons of evergreen,
and wreaths of evergreen adorned the walls.
The whole effect was grateful to the eye and
very beautiful, .
The announcement that Easter services
would be held ia this church attracted a
very large congregation in the morning.
The services opened with "Chrlst our Pass

state Temperance Convention

The temperance men and women of Maine of all
reDgous political and temperance organizations and
tnoSe not connected with either, invited to meet
at Meonian Hall. in Augusta, on Wednesday, Janu-
airy i9th 1876 at IL O'Clock A. M for the purpose of
holding Mass Temperance Convention.
InlS being the centennial of our national ex-
istenee, it is highly important and fitting that we
should meet in convention and declare ourselves free
and independent Of King Alcohol, and take every
utter determination.
Among the many questions that 1t may be proper
10 consider, the following are important :-"What
can be done to aid the reform clubs in their noble
WORK." "How can we encourage and help those no.
bic women who are organizing crusade movements
and women christian temperance societies2'' ssIs
there not necessity that something should be done
cider and domestic wfnes?" ssShould not the yari
GUS religious denominations of the State take more
decided and active measures in this great cause?'
Ougnt not the legislative, judicial, executive and
municipal bodies of state to take stronger and
more decisive measures for the suppression of the
great evil OF ntemperance?" s'Shoud not the yari-
GUS temperance organizations of the state receive the
encouragement of every friend of temperance?''
1t seems to that there has not been for several
years more favorable crisis In the temperance
done by the several temperance organizations to-
gether with the cooperation Of the faithful women
engaged in this work. should encourage every friend
OF the cause and prompt to renewed diligence.
The convention will probably be continued through
Thursday. While we cannot promise free accommo-
dation to those attending the convention yet we will
make an effort to secure board at reduced rates. The
usual reduction of fare may be expected on the sew
eral railroads and steamboats,,

MR.. LANDS, patriarch and gunner, appears
to have been one of the most considerate of
men. He put his bullet where it would do
the least harm. The doctors say that 1t
would have been impossible to place the ball
in Carruth's head in any part of the brain
where its presence would cause so little in
convenience. Having made up his mind
that he must shoot anyhow, it was very
thoughtful in Mr.. Lands to select the most
unimportant part of Mr.. Carruth's head.
There seems to be considerable doubt wheth-
er the patriarch or the doctors killed the
Vineland editor. They did not show the
respect of Mr.. Lands for the vital parts of
the brain, but probed everywhere.
