A SOLEMN FUNERAL.-On Saturday We
were attending the races on the hill when
we saw two wagons with a number Of girls
and women and the teams moving slowly
along. We thought they were coming to
the races till we observed them turning and
moving among the scattered graves on the
hill. We approached to witness so sad and
lonely cortage. Deceased was the hus-
band and the sole mourner was the wife.
She alone, far from home and kindred, an
emigrant and a stranger in strange land.
The coffin was lowered and tears, heartfelt
tears, told how sad, how deathlike, was the
separation. The minister pronounced the
prayer, while two men who, like myself,
were at the grave by accident entoned a
hymn in which we joined, and on that still
and silent air went forth, we think, the
words in which was thrown our very souls,
It is painful to look into the grave of one
we love even in the midst of home and
kindred but oh how sad when every scene
springs new association, unmellowed by
time without friend in whom to eonfids
our Grief or known voice or face to sootf
our anguish IT'S then the import of thoss
endearing words rush in upon the soul
| s'Home. Sweet Home, and drown it in the
deepest sorrow.

SMITHS PERJURY - Charles Smith, of
Moscow, was brought into court on Monday
morning last to be tried for his liberty on
charge of perjury, he having previously
been arraigned by the U. S. attorney on
true bill found against him. There being
no evidence ON which to ground such
charge the jury was discharged and the
prisoner set free. Thus terminated trial
the result Of which might have blackened
the reputation of this young man forever;
but under our wise system of dispensing
Justice the innocent rarely suffer. 1t was
sought to be shown that Mr.. Smith in PROV
ing up on his pre- -emption claim had sworn
falsely. In this the United States utterly
failed. We feel that the witnesses before
our grand jurors are sometimes actuated,
through motives of personal spite, not COM
pretending the high and meritorious calling
to which they have been summoned as pro-
tectors of the peoples rights. Mr.. Smith,
alas, unlike too many within the jurisdic-
ton of this court, holds to-day, and has
since his arrival in this country, character
for honesty and integrity. Life is not 50
dear to man as good reputation; without
it, what is he? cast-off without hope with
no prospect Of conscientious peace, but in
utter humiliation. No flower breathes a
purer oder, no jewel bears a higher luste,
than a spotless reputation.

CoURT.-In the case of Halter against
Green in the matter of partnership proper
ty on their respective ranches, it was de.
cided that a partnership was formed and
entered into, and every sale made or entered
into by either of the partners was sham
fraudulent and void. In the case of Cald-
well against Ruddy to recover money on
promissory notes verdict was given to Mr..
Ruddy. In the new case of Curry against
Critics the complaint was filed and the an
swer demurred and the demurrer sustained,
but on reconsideration by the court the de-
murrer was overruled. In the case of
Leewenberg against Green the cause was set
for hearing. The territorial petit Jurors
were discharged, the remaining cases on the
calendar being by agreement of council left
with the court to try both the matters of
law and fact Xavia Heinrich was duly ati-
mitted to citizenship of the United States.
In the case of Vollmer against Cobur,,, on
charge of SANDER, it was ruled that the
words shown to have been spoken did not
supp ort the words set forth in the complaint
and the cause was dismissed, the plaintiffs
filing exceptions, which were allowed by the
court. This case has attracted more than
usual attention and has been ably managed
by the counsel on both sides. The words
upon which the charge of Islander was based
were, ''that Vollmer had asked for an ex
tension" but on the trial it was shown that
these words were uttered as mere rumors
without any positive foundation. In the
result of this action there is certainly gain
for all concerned. 1t proves to Mr.. Voll
mer's friends and business men with whom
he is connected that some one has been en-
deavoring to injure his business reputation
