BEANFIELD. May. 1872


 ED. NEWS Your punctual journal and other private correspondence keep me wei l posted in the affairs of the border. A friend gives me rather dubious accounts of Sand town, but adds. "soI long as Mayor Hall re- tains his faculties and hissofice, Shutdown will never slnk. During the latter part ef the winter he wasa seriously threatened with the shakes, but of late the old gentle man is frequently seen with elastic atsp upon the pavements ef 'an- adjoining city so that all alarming apprehensions een- cernirg his health are now dissipated."
 My inforrAer further says there are some tokens of good amongst us. A number of persons-how many I cannot tell-are re- garding themselves as eminently ripe fer translation. expecting soon to meet their Asiatic brethren by. steering xenlthward."
 few words, Mir. Editer,r about our af- fairs up here on these Adirondack HiRh- lands, which your readers would better un- derstand had you published my last letter. The delinquent subscribers to the Bean- field Orthodox Instrumental Musical Gocl- ety, of which wrote you. have, through the efforts of MT. Goodwill, the mountain missionary, whose tongue is not fettered by Q salary, honorably discharged their ob- | legations. I give you substantially his words upon the subject: "My friends, in regard to the great importance of music in promoting pure undecided religion, I may differ with you very materially. When you go on visit to the widow and fatherless in their af1ction, I don't think 1t is neces- sary for you to march after fife and drum. But that is not the question. Some of you are under an unfulfillea promlse. And l say unto you, my dear bearers, you can't afford to lose the whlteness of your souls for the filthy wages of meaaasss. See to it, my good friends, that the bass viol and the violin are speedily paid for. Then when an honorable manhood prevails among you, you will have true basis for religion. For. depend upoa 1t, christian l and mean man cannot exist in the same person." The debt is paid.
 Yours.

w. l.. Garrison.

The event sadly anticipated by his sym- pathizing cotemporarlss is past. William l.. Garrison is gathered to his fathers. In -a wlds mistake. He saw in his life's work more than the fetter of the slave-the thraldom of the human mind. As an adve- cate of free thought his influence has been incsieulable. In this field of reform he owed his success not all to his inpregnable logic and intellectual strength, but to that moral power which pertains to character.
 Calumniated by the world as he was, be- cause of his rebukes, he held the conscience and judgment of Q considerable portion of intelligent men ID his grasp. This may be seen by tho publication of volume writ tsA many years ago. containing full expo sitioR of his moral and religious sentiments, to which he invited the critlcism of the public. But timldity, prejudice and big otry dsbarred the book generally from the librar1es of orthodox responsibility, and It is enly found. with Its great thoughts, up- on the shelves of such mon as Longfellow, Whittier and Emerson, with here and there copy a,asng humber men who had the courage te endorse it's author. It will doubt less meet the attention and approval of 8 juster and more advanced generation than this.
 Not long ago Q man of liberal education and culture was urged by more daring friend to examine the Writings of Garri- ssn." He qaailingly replled, "I dare not, lest l believe him." This man, with his acute understanding, felt 8 consciousness kh~< %ha~ annfoIpnd unopal ohIi oa kioDs in- enmbent upon him, which he well know would be fatal to bis political, social and religious standing. This is by DO means 8 solitary instance when an enlightened moral sense sided with tho great reformer while the outward attitude and tongue were against him.
 Ye white haired men who have great cause to rsmenber the departed champion of justice and humanity. think of tho pull pit epithets which you hurled at his head that yeu might destroy his influence by prsiudice- mono have reason to com- plain of your arguments. Think of your vigorous days, and of his, whom he was us- ing all the power of his manhood in break Ing the jaws of the wicked that he might pluck the prey out of his mouth-remem- D&k u@W uo AupAVr0O yVuA nAu SA0 " WOui0 not, but treated his enterprise with de- rision. And when the broadcloth mob of Bestsn led him unresistinglv through the streets like . lamb to the slaughter you had no rebuke to offer. What less could he 70 than to liken you to the priest and the lsvite? In retaliation you called him infi- del. If the epithet be just, then so much better for infdelity. If this generation has imbibed the idea that 1nfidaiity means something manly, honest, chivalrous. it is largely indebted to you for the sentiment. But tune, the corrector." will work jus tiee in the end. You will decrease, but Gar. fzson will increase. His grave will be gar- n1shed by the children of his enemies.

This evidence was not centradlcted or impeached. The Court, therefore, found that the reputation was net founded in fact, or at least that there was reasonable doubt about it (to the benefit of which the accused was entitled), and therefore found the prisoner not guilty.

 In the two liquor prosecutions tried be- fore Justice E. s. Roberts about two weeks ago and adjourned to give the Court time to more fully consider the matter, the accused were found not guilty. Both cases were under the reputation clause of the statute. In the case of George D. Calame it was on- ly claimed that he sold cider and that the reputation was for that. He admitted that he had sold cider, but claimed that the sell ing of cider did not come within the statute against the sale of intoxicating liquors, ale, lager beer and Rhine wine-that 1t had nev- CT been so understood and that hundreds of innocent persons throughout the State had sold cider supposing they had right to do 20. After duly considering the case the Court arrived at the game conclusion and found the accused not guilty. In the case of John Calvin number of witnesses were called to prove the reputation, but there

 -Hillsdale's best singers rendered the beautiful Oratorio, "Queen Esther" at Shef- field last Wednesday evening, and it is safe to say that the presentation came fully up to the most sarguine expectations of the large audience attendant; revealing a great amount of framing, practice and patience, each one acting his or her part admirably. The characters of King Ahasuerus and Ha- man were especially well assigned, MT. H. l.. McArthur, splendid basse, personating the King, with all due majesty, and MT. Henry Coon as Haman, put power of feel ing into his acting, making it strikingly, and at times touchingly natural, especially when the King commands him to be hung on the "gallows fifty cubits high," which ho had built for Mordecai. Esther, beauteous Queen," was finely acted by Mrs. H. A. KenneY, who received many we'll meritec encomiums from the audience. The Queens charming little pages were encored in their duett before the throne, and also in their waltz at Esther's banquet. Zeresb. Hamah's wife. and Ida, their child, were warmly ap- plauded. All the minor parts were we'll acted, the grand triumphal choruses of 80 voices were feature, and the whole affair reflects great credit upon the ability and pa tience of MT. E. H. McArthur. the director and general manager.
