The select literary society were highly
edited Monday evening with the discus
sion of the question whether 1.-THE negroes
have suffered more from the hands of
white men than have tho Indians" A
warm debate ensued and resulted in de.
cision for the affirmative. At the next
meeting the members will entertain them
selves in the trial of mock court issue.
Mrs. NJ. II. Keyes, who recently closed
very successful term OF school 10 district
No. 5, gave an entertainment in American
hal Monday evening, Feb. 20, 10 her po-
pills. Clark, Day & Co., furnished music,
which added much TO the evenings pleas
ure. Various amusements were partici-
paied in.
Saturday night, March 81, the drama
OF Darkness and Daylight" and the farce,
AUNT Charlolte's Maid" will be presented
at American hall for A. II. Miichells ben
eft, by c. w. Henry's combination. We
are glad to make the announcement, as Mr.
Mitchell is worthy Of this testimonial, and
we hope that the public will make hun
thrice happy" with their presence on this
occasion. Let all distinctly remember the
time of the entertainment and make 1t a
point 10 be in attendance. b.
The quiet of Hinsdale was recently
aroused aud a great sensation prevailed to
the effect that our expressman, Mr.. New
ton SteaTns, had taken fuel from his ten
ants woodpile, and that in consequence
thereof bis stove suddenly assembled heav-
onward. A warrant was issued by E. C.
Barber, Esq, and p. p. Woodbury. and w.
ID. Whitaker were arrested on suspicion of
having charged the wood with gunpowder.
On arraignment they plead not guilty aud
asked for time TO procure counsel, which
was granted them. On Monday, Feb. 10,
they were tried before Geo. w. Pierce,
Esq, of Winchester at American ball in
the presence Of 500 spectators, with F. ].
Barber and X. Haskins counsel for the
State, and C. n. Davenport for respond
ents. The evidence clearly tended to ex-
onerate the complainant, Mr.. Stearns, from
all suspicion and false accusations of hav-
ing taken the wood with a 81 eallhy intent.
1t plainly developed the fact that it was
put into his apartment by one of the re-
spondeuis, though probably without evil
intent or design to injure Mr.. Stearns Az
Ter a fair trial they were convicted and
fined by The court, but appealed from this
decision to the supreme court.

On the 3rd inst. storm of rain
wind and hail visited this place. The
hail varied from the size of pea to
that of a hulled walnut. The fall fort
unately was not sufficiently thick to do
great damage to vegetation. Taking
the sum total of all the glass broken in
town it would amount to quite a par
eel. The records tell Of hail storms
that dropped hail that varied in size
from that of a walnut to that of a pig,
snd on up to the size of an elephant
