In the case of the State vs.. r. FL.
Crozier. confined in the county Jail un-
der sentence of death, the Supreme

dated June %. 1877, directed to Sheriff
Kyle, and commanding him to stay all

Reports from the mines in Star Dis
trict are very encouraging. In the
Sheba, at depth of ITO feet from the
surface, an eight-inch vein of ore that
assays from $500 to 81, 500 per ton, has
been cut. Only four or Ave men are
employed in the mine. and they ex-
tract about ton of $500 ore per week.
On the American Basin ground VIM.
Woolcock has discovered cross vein
which carries exceedingly rich ore, and
promises to be an excellent mine. The
ore streak his increased from fifteen
inches in thickness. near the surface,
to nearly three feet, ten or fifteen feet
deeper Two tons of the ore sent to
San Francisco for reduction yielded
$SA0 abovethe expenses of shipping and
working it. This is certainly encourag-
ing, and proves beyond doubt that,
though Star District has been almost
wholly abandoned for years, its mines
are deserving of attention.

We hear it on good authority that our
former townsman, w. A. Richardson, is
quite likely to be nominated by the
Democrats of Littleton as one of their
Representatives to the Legislature.
"Will" would make live representative,
and his nomination by the Democracy of
Littleton (Which is equivalent to an cleo
tion) would be most gratifying to his
many friends in this section.
Rev. j. r. Bartlett, of Amherst,
addressed a meeting of the Prohibitions
lists, at the Town Hall, last Friday eve
ming. The speaker was thoroughly in
earnest in the advocacy of the cause of
prohibition and unqucstionably honest in
supporting the prohibition ticket. We
cannot, however, agree with him that
prohibition is the only living issue Of the
day. Intemperance is undeniably one of
the greatest evils of the times, but our
experience has taught us that the cause
cannot be effected by prohibitory legisla-
tion. Let all temperance men labor for
the reformation of the incorporate
by appealing to their reason and
better judgment, with half the
earnestness that the third party men
pursue their peculiar political notions,
and we should, in our belief, witness
much more beneficial results than is now
the case.

banks of the Androscoggin. Forty-three
' ears ago he commenced filling the soil
in the town of Milan, and for thirty-three
years devoted himself strictly to farming
interests. In 1865 he, in company with
his brother, Jabez p, entered into the
mercantile trade, as partners, in the town
of Milan. They did q thrifty business for
about year, when the firm was burned
out. Soon after Mr.. Evans and his
brother moved into our village. They at
once invested their capital in erecting
several very neat buildings for the pur-
pose of commoding families who were in
need of better rents. Mr.. Evans occupied
one of these dwellings up to the time OF
his death He is brother to Messrs.
Hazen and Augustus Evans, gentlemen Of
the highest responsibility. For several
weeks previous to his death he suffered
intense pain, the nature of the disease
being heart disease and dropsy. Mr..
Evans remains were inferred at Milan,
where his first wife was. buried. He
leaves a wife, and two daughters by his
former wife. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Wood, of Milan.
O, where is our new sheriff?
We are glad to see our young lady
friend, Miss Garlic Buck, back again with
us, after a long absence in the study of
music. She has proven herself very
efficient as teacher upon the pianoforte,

benefactor in this particular. We wish
her many new scholars, and hope that
success may attend all her efforts to
instruct the unsteady inclined.

neither political nor sectarian, we hope
for it's success.
