Court

The jury in the case of the State VS..
Henry White, indicted for burglary and
grand larceny, brought in verdict of not
guilty of burglary, but guilty of larceny,
and fixed the value of property stolen at
$35. The court has not passed sentence
A motion was filed by Whites attorney
to set aside the verdict and grant a new
trial. The motion has not yet been heard.
The case againstJ John Gordon, indicted
jointly with White and Cornelious Dough-
erty, will probably not come to trial, but
be dismissed, as there is no evidence
against him, and athe evidence against
Dougherty is not strong.
The case of the State VS.. Chas. Esk-
ridge, Jas. Thompson and Chas. Dalger,
indicted for burglary and larceny, is set
for to-day. Thompson was recognized
to court in $500 bail, and it is thought has
s'skipped.'' Eskridge and Dalger are in
Jail.
Judge Steele will adjourn court for the
term on Saturday.

MRS ELIZABETH, wife of Thomas Kirk, of Paint
township, this county, died OF Paralys1s' on me the
mature age of 63 years, months and 26 days.
Her marriage to Mr.. Kirk was consummated at
the early age of seventeen, when, with exuberant
spirits and a laudable ambition they began the
battle of life, which has been crowned with so
many pleasures and blessings and interrupted by
so few reverses and disappointments. Twelve
children have been the fruit of this marriage, all
of whom survive to mourn this irreparable less,
except two, who died in comparative infancy
These dear little ones were stricken down within
the short space of two weeks of each other, leav-
ing the mothers heart almost comfortless. This
bereavement soon led her to inquire and seek dill
igently after spiritual union and communion
with God. Her faith complete, the comforter came
and bound up her wounded spirit and awakened
hope of a happy reunion with her babes in
heaven. She united in communion first with the
NJ. P. Church, but shortly after removed her mem
bership to Paint Chapel NJ. E. Church, where she
has ever since lived a consistent christian. Her
classmates will long cherish the memory of her
last testimony with them; in which she spoke OF
her buoyant hope of meeting her dear friends in
heaven. Here she spoke of her SOULS burden fol
the unconverted members of her family. She said
she was praying and should continue to pray fol
their salvation. This deep solcitude for her fami
ly's spiritual welfare not only manifest in he
religious conversation in the classroom, but al
| through her home life.
Her companion to whom she has been through
/ out her welded life faithful, true and loving
/ heIpmate, will feel her loss as no other member o
the family can. She ever remembered her plighte'
vows in trying to make his home pleasant an,
| happy, meeting the duties and responsibilitie
| of her household with dignity and cheerfulness
and now, that her chair at the table and in tn
| family circle is vacant, her well-known footstep
silent, and her voice to be heard more in thi
world, yet there is joy in the hope of meeting he
where sit is one bright summer always, and storm
never come"
Her funeral took place at the family residenc
| on Monday March 10th, 1879, at O'Clock, attende
| by large concourse of neighbors and friends
| All the members of the family were present eS
cept her son James, who was in Colorado on bus
ness. Among her sons-in-law, is Rev. T.W. star
lev, of the Ohio Conference NJ. e. Church, Presid
ing Elder of the Lancaster District.

The last meeting held by the assocfa-
ton was an entire success; the programme
was fully written up by each one having
work assigned them, and the productions
were far above the average, in point of
logic, and the critics found but little op-
portunity to hurl their missiles of objec-
tions at any argument advanced by the
essayists, showing that a good deal of
thought had been employed in their pre-
paration.
With such a programme as the commit
tee has now prepared, more interesting
time is anticipated at our next meeting.
Everybody cordially invited to come and
assist US in our efforts to improve our la
tent literary talents. A MEMBER.
