The Other Side.

We made some rather sharp criticisms two
weeks ago upon the case Of Mrs. Stack, of North
field who recently died, after a short incarcera-
ton in Jail, upon conviction of having sold
cider As the case was reported to MS II would
seem that Mrs. Stack was committed under her
protest that she was sick at the time, and unable
to be taken to jal with safety to her life This,
we have since learned, was not the case. She
had been convicted Of selling "the ardent" upon
the testimony Of n man who procured 1t of her
and went home and abused his family She was
an old and inveteate violater Of the law, and had
been, threatened and demonstrated with many
times on this account, hut in vain. She was fined,
and was known to have the money to pay the fine.
She dehed the officers and the law and continued
selling after the fine was imposed as openly and
freely IA before. The nuisance a. last became so
bad that miiimus was issued. Declining to pay,
she was examined by competent physician, DR..
q. o. Davis She declared her willingness to go
to jail Her pulse was normal, and she appeared
perfectly well In fact, she avowed that she was
her commitment. II was under these clrcum-
stances that she was carried to Jail. She was
driven here in n team, to which she made no OBJ
lection, by Sheriff Averill leaving Mortified
about five O'Clock in the afternoon. The only
disease OF which Mrs. Stack complained was that
she had the ague, and on the day Of her commit
ment she declared that /" this was one of her well
days" Wegive theabove statement upon author
ity of many Of the best citizens of Mortified

the fact we would intimate that the two most
noted pianos of the world, viz; the Steinway and
Chickering, have been greatly improved the past

enhanced their value that they have been placed
beyond competition. We would state that for
volume quality aud precision OF tone, elasticity Of
action and lifelong durability there is nothing in
the market which can begin 10 compare with these
matchless instruments, In the steinway, by the
accession OF the cupola frame, the duplex scale

very essential improvements-the value Of each
instrument is enhanced from $50 to 500. q. W.
