SMASH P.--0n Tuesday evening, as JON
ATTAIN Grooms, of Solebury, was crossing the
iron bridge in New Hope, with a farm wagon
to which a young pair of mules were attach
ed, and VIM. Corners, Of New Hope, with a
young horse geared to light wagon were
passing each other, the said wagons collided
and Mr.. G. was thrown out and his vehicle
badly damaged. Mr.. Corners fortunately was
not much hurt and managed to hold on to the
lines thus preventing the animals getting
away. Mr.. Grooms made narrow escape
from having a runaway as his team became
unmanageable. He says that as soon as the
mules saw the high bearing of the horse and
heard the rafting of the bridge occasioned by
fast driving, it was impossible for him to keep
them to the side of the bridge. He got the
mules stopped after running a part of the
way down River street.

to Mr.. Snyder Martin, residing near King
wood. Mr. Martin after finishing his dinner,
went out to the barn to harness one of his

and thrust him under his feet and trampled
him almost to death, the corks of the shoes
inficting deep wounds in the body. Mr. Mar
tins younger brother hearing hts cries imme-
diately fastened to his rescue. There are
hopes of his recovery Mr.. Martin had, some
hours before, been to near neighbours for
his meat which had been hanging in the
smoke. house, and it is supposed that his
clothes were scented with smoke, when he
entered the stable, and its unfayorable odor
caused the horse to grow mad, as he was new
er before known to act in such a manner, be-
ing gentle and quiet in every respect

CoURT PRocEEDINes.-On Wednesday last
Court convened for the purpose of disposing
of the indictments, and the following were
tried:
The State v. Charles Rockafellow.-On the
morning of the 7th of March last, Samuel
Comet, residing near the village of Reading
ton, discovered that his buggy wagon and
harness had been stolen. Suspicion rested
upon one John d. Vroom, whose home was in
Newark, and search being there made the
stolen property was found. Vroom was after
ward arrested in Pennsylvania, admitted the
stealing, and charged Rockafellow with being
his accomplish. A short time before the rob-
berry Vroom and Rockafellow were partners
in the business of hauling hay to Newark
The principal testimony against Rockafellow
was that of Vroom, who stated that he went
to the house of Rockafellow, who resided a
bout quarter of a mile from Comets, on
the evening before the robbery, on horse back,
and remained there until a little after twelve
o'clock, when he and Rockafellow went to
Comets wagon-house, took the wagon and
harness, putting one set on the horse, and
both got in the wagon and rode as far as
Rockafellows house, where he got out, and
Vroom drove on to Newark. The statement
of Vroom was corroborated to certain ex-
tent by the fact that several witnesses who
tracked the wagon discovered that it had been
cranked and stopped at the point where
Vroom stated Rockafellow got out also by a
letter written by Rockafellow to Vroom the
day following the crime, which was as fol-
lows:
"Readington March 1878
Deare sir i will inform you that thare is
some suspishen on you he belongs to the vid-
elence soity 81 they offer fifty dollars reward
s. they are all out looking for it. s. G. sent
a telegraph dispach to New York this morn
1 ing keep you're eyes open and each the raskel
& get the fifty dollars reward. Yourss Res
pectley sign no names on paper"
Rockafellow denied all participation in the
theft or knowledge of it. He stated that on
the night of the 9Th of March, Vroom came to
his house about o'clock, and left at IL that
Vroom stated that his horse was in the stable,
but he did not see it. His explanation about
the letter was. that be thought Vroom had
taken the wagon, and he wrote to inform him
of the suspicion against him, i'll order that he
might bring it back, or, If he did not take it
that he might look out for the reward. Sew
eral witnesses testified as to the good eharac
ter of Rockafellow. Verdict, not guilty.

THE Dominion people have at last taken
notice of the complaints made by American
fishermen, and the minister of Marine re-
ports that all vessels, British and Foreign,
which arrive in the harbors of the Domi aion,
from ports outside of Canada, are required to
pay small charge for harbor dues and sick
mariners dues, but no discrimination exists
in favor of British ships over American or
other foreign vessels, all being treated alike,
and American sick seamen participate in the
benefits resulting from those dues in the same
way as British seamen; that the small ton
mage duty exacted for the maintenance of sick
mariners does not defray the expenses, the
deficiency having to be made up by the Gov
are only nominal and are retained by these
officers as remuneration for their services.
The Minister also reports that he has CON-
municated with the Custom Department with
reference to the representations made by Mr..
Evarts as to the duty said to be imposed on
empty barrels brought by fishing vessels for
the purpose of packing the catch on board
such vessels, and he recommends that Sir
Edward Thornton be informed that the Gus
toms Department has no knowledge of any
duty being charged on fish barrels when they
are used for packing the fish caught by the
crews of such vessels, and that, if any case of
such duty being imposed can be cited, it will
Immediately be investigated.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE

A REDUCTION of $722, 100000 in the pub
lie debt in thirteen years is a good record for
any political party to go into campaign on.
That is the record of the Republican party.
Secretary Sherman, in letter to the chair
man of the Michigan Republican State Com
mittee says that the national debt reached its
highest point in August, 1866, when it
amounted to $2,756, ,431, ,571 43, less cash in
the treasury. On the 1st of June of the pres
ent yesr the debt had been decreased $722,-
794, ,12079, and amounted to S2,033, ,637,-
450 GA, less cash in the treasury. In 1870, the
annual ordinary expenditures of the Govern
ment were $3O9,653, ,560.65. These have
been reduced, year by year, until in 1877 the
expenditure was $23s, $3.50, ,OOs.9S. The pres
ent fiscal year the sum will be ten millions
less than the last. Last year the reduction
of the public debt was $55, ,143, ,69240
