A decision has Just been rendered in the Law
Court in one of the three actions of libel now
pending in that county, of Gen. Tillson against
Levi NJ. Robbins, publisher of the Opinion. In
this action, which was the first one commenced
the defendant fled demurrer to the declaration
in the writ, and claimed that the matter published
was not libeous and that if libelous it was not
sufficiently set out in the declaration in the writ.
The demurrer was overruled by the presiding
judge, to which defendant filed exceptions which
were argued in the Law Court about year ago.
The decision of the Law Court just sent down is
exceptions overruled." The action will now be
in order for trial at the next term, and if the mis-
cradle fellow and his dirty sheet are both squelched
the public good will be subserved.
The Maine Beet Sugar Company has issued a
circular, which we have received, giving sugges-
tions in regard to the culture of the sugar beet
1t strongly urges that the ground should be cult
waited between the rows the beets are
up enough to indicate where the rows are, claim
ing that such practice will hasten the maturity of
the crop ten days and thus make up in part the
loss from late planting. The beets should be cut
out with hoe in the rows, leaving bunch of
Young plants where one beet is finally TO grow.
If the rows are one foot apart, the punches of
plants should be left one foot apart in the rows.
If the rows are two feet apart, the lunches NAV
be left six inches apart so that each plant will
have a square foot of ground When the beets
of the size Of pipestem the punches should
he thinned to one plant. Nearly one thousand
farmers in this State, have contracted to raise
beets the present season. 1t is TO be hoped that
the beet sugar industry may prove successful
thus adding one more department to our agrcul-
tural interests.

A Terrible Affair.

n terFtble Affair.
The Lewiston Journal gives additional particu-
lars of the biting of little boy by dog, in that
city, short account of which was given in our
dispatches. Alta late hour Wednesday afternoon,
Rev Father Wallace was driving along the riv-
er road about mile below the city, when he
heard loud screams from the bank of the river,
twenty feet distant. Gu the river bank he found
a large dog ferociously attacking a small naked
hov. Some men who were hoeing in an adjacent
field came to the spot at the same time. Father
Wallace attacked the dog and drove him from the
child. He then made a spring for another little
fellow by and bit him 1t was with consider
able difficulty that the dog driven away by
the efforts of Father Wallace and the men who
came to the scene, one of whom owned the brute.
The little fellow was found to be terribly bitten,
having eighteen wounds all over his body and
legs. The dog had literally eaten large piece of
flesh out under the lads arm and his ribs could be
seen. Large pieces had been bitten out of other
parts of his body. There were four boys in bath
ing when the brute attacked them. Two of them
away from him, but the other two were too
frightened to run. They were each about seven
Patrick Eagsn Father Wallace wrapped him in
a blanket and carried him home. He is in very
low condition. The other lad was not bitten
vcrelv. The brute that made a meal of the little
ones flesh was killed at once. He was q large
bl il dog of a very savage disposition, aud was
owned by john Sullivan. The little fellows mind
is wandering and in agony he still calls people to
take the dog away from him.

ROWDYISM.

It is gratifying TO the ADVANCE to
see some of the very parties who used
to encourage row1yisn and were SO
bitter against us for denouncing it, now
leading off III a spreid-cagle effort to
suppress it. This is about as it should
lie. In this we see our vindication.
1t makes Il vast difference whose OK is
gored, doesn't it2 1t is certainly a
great relief to us to have the help of
our worst enemies in this good work,
and we say, let the officers and the cit
liens act and speak promptly and teach
offenders i'll this direction that no
rowdyism will he condonetl by this
community, whether occurring on Sun
day or any other day. Only we would
suggest to some of those who used to
encourage rowdyism in our midst not
to make special fools OF themselves in
their otlicious zeal to redeem their rep
utations in this respect. And let us
have fair play and no parti;llity. Let
us meet out justice to our own people
as well as to the stranger that is with
III our gates.
For some months past Worthington
has been one of the quietest and most
orderly towns We ever saw, and we say
now let us not tolerate another out
break of rowdyism in our midst.
We are informed that there is no
statute under which parties can be
punished for drunken and disorderIy
conduct on our streets. The Council,
we suppose, can reach such cases by ordi-
