New York judges seem to be dis
pensing some common-sensej justice
Just now. "You are one of the
meanest kind Of thieves, robbing
poor people and servant girls Of
their hard earnings for your own
benefit, and ostensibly for the ben
eft ofSa charitable institution, and
/ intend to impose the full penalty
prescribed by law--three years in
the state prison." were the words
of Judge Cowing to Henry Pearsall,
whose offense is made clear by the
words of the judge. And Judge
Bixby in these words reproved a
police captain for arresting boy
for selling trinkets on the sidewalk:
you permit people to obstruct the
streets and sidewalks with ash-bar-
rels, clam carts, old trucks and all
sorts Of nuisance, and you make no
complaint of them. It's very brave
of you" added the judge, "to arrest
an industrious boy who is trying to
turn an honest penny to support his
widowed mother"

We are informed that the prospects
of the coming fair at jackson were
never so good. This enterprise has
greatly stimulated the stock interest
of West Tennessee, and it should be
literally encouraged and sustained.

al and attractive, and we hope our
stock men in Gibson county will ego

We trust that our friends of the
shooting fraternity will put themselves
in practice for the large premiums Of
fered in breaking glass balls. The
prizes range from $50 to $3.50 and
there are eight in number, thereby
giving all chance. We are glad 10

against the city last Friday by Judge
Somers, and the work is now being
pushed forward. Mayor Ware in
forms US that he will not carry the
matter any further. We hope mat
tiers will now quiet down, and that
we will hear no more of it.
Since writing the above, we learn
that the Williamson heirs have filed
a bill with Judge McCorry, at Jack
son, who has enjoined work on the
stock yard, and has also closed the
news and lunch stand at the depot.
They plead in their bill that Mr.. Will
hanson gave the laGd "for railroad
purposes" and that no one has right
to use it for any private business.

The Frog Boy,

Quite curiosity has been on exhi-
bition in our town during the past
week by Messrs. Senter & Christian.
During his travels, Mr.. Christian
found, away Oft in the backwoods Of
Obion county. family by the name
of Newell, who were in the very
depths of poverty. Thirteen years
ago last March a son was born unto
them, and he is the subject of this
notice. He now weighs twenty-three
pounds, is two feet ard seven inches
high, and is badly deformed. His
feet are bent backward and outward,
so that he cannot stand on them with
out assistance, his fingers short and
stubby, narrow forehead, eyes close
together, chin receding, and has not
the usual number of teeth, having
only two incisors, one above and one
below. He is quick and intelligent,
but cannot utter a word, there being
some defect in his vocal organs. He
can leap half across large room on
his "all-fours," something like frog
or monkey. and is as active as cat.
His actions remind the observer of a
monkey. Taken altogether, he is a
wonderful freak Of nature.
