five were of the opinion that they were en . tirsly unsustained. The trial was altogeth- CT a remarkable one. If 8 stranger had
 dropped in upon it without knowing it's character, and had listened to it's proceed ings, he would have thought he had got in- to a Tombs Police Court, and was listsning to lot of pettifoggers and shystsrs. The name of the court, as given in the course of the proceedings seemed great piece of
 slasphemy. Nothing could have been more unlike "a Court of Jesus Christ" One of the principal witnesses was Rev. MT. Hath away, who swore that Mir. Talmage had
 been guilty of falsehood, and MT. Talmage swOre that he was another. The M0cerat- or evidently thought that was an extraordi

 So he invited them to meet at his house ID the evening, to see if something could not be done and the deadlock broken. They accordingly met, and finally entered into written covenant" in substance that iRas- much as each had sworn that the other was & liar it was not eXpedient for either to in- vestigate the other any further, and they would call It quits aad drop the matter.

Some of the judges in rendering judgment gave some of the most extraordinary and funny req sons for their decisions that were ever heard of. One did it in this wise: "The purpose of the alleged deceit was to induce others to subscribe. Subscribe for what Why, for the payment of the church debt.

 A Pittsfield farmer thinks there will be about the same potato acreage, as 8 whole, in Berkshire county as last year.

 -Geo. L. Parsons is putting in a fine as- sertment of straw hats. George is doing a large business in his store here, and it is constantly increasing. This state of affairs can be accounted for on two theories. First, he advertises in the NEWS, which is enough to insure brisk trade. Second, his genial father serves behind the counter, who makes friends with all with whom he comes in contact. making it 8 pleasure to trade there.

seems rather strange when it is remembered that in the election for delegates to the Con. vention last spring Kearney and the work ingmen were beaten, and the combined op- position secured clear working majority in the Convention. The new Constitution may be crude and impracticable ln some of it's provisions but it is undoubtedly the re- suit of an honest effort of the masses of the people to obtain redless of grievances. The great difficulty there, aa in many other places, is this: that the great burden of tax ation falls on those who are least able to bear it. Those who should pay the most pay the least, and the principal burden falls on the small farmers and land owners.
 The Very Rev. Laurence s. McKahoaa. D. D. of New Bedford, has been appointed Bishop of the Hartford diocese, succeeding the late Bishop Galbery. He is a native of Boston and about 46 years of age He is of medium height, sffable address and possess. es good intellectual features, making him on the whole man of considerable per- sonal attraction. Dr. McMahon is 8 scc- ular priest, never having belonged to any of the ecclesiastical orders of his church |. He was educated at the College of the Holy Cross at Worcester r, Mass, at Montreal and the South of France, completing his colle- giate and ecclesiastical studies at Rome. After his ordination, he served as assistant at the Cathedral Church in Boston under Blshep Fitzpatrick, but subsequently, was appointed in charge of the Catholic parish at New Bedford, and has been there for the past fifteen years or more. After the es- tablishment of the Providence See he was appointed Vicar-General of that diocese by Bishop Hendncken, and has since held the position, discharging the duties of the place with notable efficiency. His consecratlon will not take place for month ut least, there being number of preliminaries nec- essary before the ceremony can be ordered.

LOUISVILLE, February 9th, 1879.
Mr.. EDIToR I'll have noticed of late that
you want local news from the different sec
tions OF the county, and as you have no cor
respondent here to give you the news, (Which
is rather meagre), send you the following:
On last Friday, January Both, was what Is
Familiarity known al" Directors Day at the
Poor House," and from the number of visi-
tors present, 1t seems that there is a great deal
OF sympathy manifested for the unfortunate
inmates of said institution but this is In the
line OF Christian duty to visit the poor, only
that IL is always done on "Directors' Day.
Report says that over 100 took dinner on this
occasion this, too, Is right-we are to be
"hospitable and entertain strangers" Not
Withstanding some Of us live ear by,we prove
our sincere regard for the poor by our very
frequent visits on Directors Day staying for
dinner. It shows that we are not stuck up
nor high-mnded. Some of our citizens have
never been here and Others who live at a dis
tance have not been here more than once,
while we, close by, discharge our duties more
faithfully by coming once "A month then we
don't go alone--quite number of us meet aud
always have jolly good time generally. l
tried the thing alone once, and was very badly
disappointed when asked to dinner, for 1t was
no better than what had at home but now
go on Directors Day and always enjoy it.
Our town 1t growing in importance, it being
the principal horse and cattle market In the
county, which attracts great many people,
and makes the place lively great part of the
time, and what becomes Of the money paid out
on account of stock, no one has yet discovered,
as not a man will acknowledge to have any of
the stuff about him. Money is about so per
cent. scarcer than 1t was twelve months ago,
mauger the large wheat crop. Our farmers in
the vicinity are generally out of debt, and con-
sequently indepenent, which is more than can
be said of most any other neighborhood.
Our debating society Is dragging in slow
lQnOth al0uO altll a tc a fnet n
good thing TO show how much we have read,
and how well we can tell II TO an attentive au-
diencC.

time, you will hear more from

lowing from the Cumberland county
papers Of last week:
One of Mrs. Bakers children was
playing the other day at Jacksonville,
and got In the mud, and when its moth
er came to get 1t out, she broke its arm.
Officer Hays, on Friday last, brought
a tramp named Charles Smith, from
Lebanon, who Is supposed to be impli-
Gated In the Greason robbery. This
makes the third party arrested for this
deed.
A little daughter of Mr.. Ottstots, the
blacksmith, at Roxbury, in Monroe
twp, one night recently, happened to
pull down the coal oil lamp, breaking 1t
setting fire 10 her dress and the carpet
in the room. Her brother hastily grasp
ed her clothes and smothered the flames
before they reached her body, and Others
rolled up the carpet and threw 1t out of
doors, thus luckily preventing what
might have been serious IL not fatal
accident. This should serve as another
caution to persons using coal oil.
On Monday evening.the residence of
j. W. Wheeler, In this place, was enter
ed through an up-stair window over the
porch, and a couple of rooms ransacked.
The robber or robbers secured about
fifty dollars in money and about twenty
dollars worth of jewelry, all belonging
to Mrs. Wheeler and the children. Some
of the money and jewelry were valuable
keepsakes, and are sadly missed. The
robbery was probably committed by
some one who had ascertained the

peared, as did also Mr.. Thomas, of the

quest. After being duly sworn by Clerk

lists and circulation of their several

In this county the Commissioners Sc
lect their favorites to do their publish

much as is necessary for the circulation
they give TO the public printing. We
however give gratultous publication to
the county account in one issue that our
readers, which comprise nearly half the
population of the county, may not be
deprived of information regarding mat

Barn Burned On Saturday evening
at about o'clock, a fire was discovered
in the barn belonging to Mr.. Christian
Thudium, in Spring township. The
building, large quantity of hay Sall the
farming implements, and about 400
bushels of oats were destroyed. The
stock was we think, all removed in
safety. The fire is. thought to have
been caused by some one smoking in
the barn, or by an incendiary, as tracks
were found through the snow to the
part of the barn where the fire broke
out. There was no insurance on the
building, but Mr.. James Lebo, the ten
ant on the place, had an insurance on
his personal property.
