rhe Public school entertainments.

The pupils of our Public Schools gave
musical and literary entertainments at
Music Hall on Thursday and Friday even
ings of last week and Monday evening of
the present week--the latter entertain
menr being given by request of the audi
ence in attendance on Friday evening,
for the reason that the stormy weather
on Thursday evening prevented many
from attending who desired to do so. The
entertainments were given for the pur-
pose of raising money to pay for appara-
tus for the schools, and were successful
in securing the amount necessary and
something more. The gross receipts of
the three evening amounted to $166, ,6s,
leaving $1O5, 48, after the expenses were
paid.
The programme for each evening fur
nished excellent entertainment for the
large audiences in attendance, being adj
mirably arranged as to variety, quality
and quantity. The literary portion of
| the entertainments was furnished prin-
cipally by the pupils of the schools and
all those who took part acquitted them
selves with much honor and credit to
themselves and their instructors. Their
various exercises were well presented and
interesting. On the last evening, DIR.
Bonsieur and Prof. Scharf assisted, with
humorous readings which were highly
appreciated. The music was under the
direction of Mr.. R. A. Robinson and
Miss Love, and it is not necessary to say
was excellent. There were over 200 sing
ers in the chorus, seated upon seats rising
in tiers from the front to the back part oil
the stage, and on each side of the tempo
rary stage erected in front of the perma-
nent stage ordinarily used in the hall
and under the control of Mr.. Robinson
with full orchestra accompaniment, thes
made grand music. Mr.. and Mrs. j. P
Robinson, Miss Sina Logan, Mrs j. D
Kerr, the Misses Love, the Misses Pine
Miss Puss Willett, Prof. Allen, Mr.. Erik
Edwards, Miss Fannie Pearce, Miss Ella
Craig and others, in solos, duets, quar-
tets and instrumental pieces upon the pi
ano, contributed great deal to the pleas
ure of the audiences.

marcl, stock sales.

There were about 500 head of cattle on
the market on Tuesday; quality medium.
The bulk of them were too small for the
demand. There was some difference be-
tween the views of buyers and sellers,
sufficient to make the sale drag somewhat.
About all the stock offered was sold, prices
ranging from 311ac. to sc.

Court.

The February term of Fayette Common
Pleas adjourned On Saturday last.
In the case of Sarah Tupes VS. David
and the plaintiff restored to her maiden
name of Sarah Tomelson.
State of Ohio VS.. Henry White. In this
case, as stated last week, the jury returned
a verdict of guilty of larceny, and fixed
the value of property stolen at $50, and
| motion was filed for new trial by the
attorney of White, Hon. NJ. j. Williams;
and, on hearing, Judge Steele set aside
the verdict of the jury and granted a new
trial, on the grounds that the verdict was
not in accordance with the evidence as to
the value of the property stolen. The
| jury agreed unanimously in fixing the
value of the property; no irregularity
was claimed in their proceedings, and the
commission of the crime by the prisoner
was clearly proven. But there was diff
ference of opinion between Judge Steele
and the twelve jurymen as to the value
of the property stolen. This was consid-
cred sufficient grounds for setting aside
the verdict, and granting a new trial.
Under these circumstances, the prosecu-
ting attorney declined to put the county
to the expense of new trial, and nollied
the Indictment, and the prisoner was dis
charged.
State VS. Chas. Dalgren, Jas. Thompson
and Charles Eskridge, burglary and lar
ceny. Some weeks ago, DR.. saxton' IS
stable was broken into, and fine set of
double harness stolen. Dalgren. Eskridge
and Thompson were arrested on suspic-
ion, and Dalgren confessed to DIR. Saxton
and told him where he would find his
harness. He also made a confession to
Marshal Collier, and Thompson, also, CON
tessed to Collier. Delgren's confession to
DIR. Saxton was made under the influence
of promises held out to him; but the con.
fession to Marshal Collier was unsolicited
and made of his own free will. Both con
fessions were ruled out as evidence by
Judge Steele, and as they constituted al
| the evidence against the parties, they
: were acquitted.
l There is another Indictment agains
Eskridge for burglary. This case was con
; tinued, and Eskridge, in default of $50
, bail, will remain in Jail until the june
term.
