ID. NJ. Bennett, the publisher of the
New York Truth-Seeker, has just been SEN
fenced to thirteen months confinement at
hard labor in the Albany penitentiary, for
circulating through the mails book enti-
tied "Parturition Without Palma book
that ought to be in the hands of every mar
ried woman in the country. What renders
the prosecution especially odious, are the
means employed to bring the old man
within the tolls Of the law. One of An
thony Comstock's tools, writing to Bennett
as married woman, from some point IN
New Jersey, begged him to forward to her
the "tabooed" publication Bennett replied
that he did not keep the book on sale. The
supposed woman now appealed to him to
procure copy for her, and receive her
blessings, ETC.. and the old man, unable to
resist the appeal, bought the book and for
warded it. A few days afterwards he was
| arrested; aud the result has been stated.
The case was tried before Judge Humph.
reys, of the New York United States Dis
trict court. and as Bennett had given the
Judge fearful raking "fore-and-aft' in
the Truth Seeker it is som ewhat surpris-
ing that term of Imprisonment was not
made thirteen years. Bennett is sixty-nine
years Of age.
AT the Methodist church, Sunday last,
there was full congregation but no regu-
lar sermon. Rev. Mr.. Whitaker talked for
half an hour to the children of the Sunday
school. Part of his address was beau,i-
full tribute to the memory Of DR.. Waldo,
who was a Jealous Sunday school worker.
The church was beautifully decorated
with boquets and living flowers. Ga each
side of the altar were flowers and stands of
growing flowers, made up Of ivy-vines,
blooming fuschas, lilies, geraniums and
1
alder blossoms. In each bower were cages
of singing birds, and in other parts of the
! of the house were more flowers and more
birds, that filled the room with music and
sweet odors. II hardly needed the singing
by the choir
by cool Sloam's shady r
How sweet the lily blows;
How sweet the breath beneath the hill
OF Sharons dewy rose"
to impress upon the congregation how very
pleasant the place was to spend an hour,
and the people found themselves wondering
why churches could not. at least through
the hot summer days, be always made as
attractive as the Methodist church on that
day.
In concluding his reference to the
killing Of Shufrebarger, at Wahoo, in this
county, on the 4th instant, our Clear Creek
correspondent remarks that the fatal blow
was given by Thomas Jackson-No ar
rests made" Unless Jackson desires an
inquiry in the matter for his own vindica.
ton, no arrest ought to be made. Shuttle
barger came into the village intoxicated;
avowed purpose to kill somebody; with
revolver in hand drove citizen out of his
own saloon took deliberate aim, fired and
wounded q second citizen; assaulted inof-
Tending females and in divers other ways
showed that he intended to make good his
threat When knocked on the head he was
in a struggle with citizen, and it may
well be argued that the struggle would
have resulted fatally to the citizen, had the
| desperate had time to use his revolver. In
season to prevent such bloody crime the
man who had been driven from his own
house, Drained the rutfian with a stick of
cord-wood. Instead OF arresting Jackson
for such deed, he should receive vote of
thanks; be elected Marshal of Waheo and
be made the recipient of handsome medal
for Kidding the community Of the presence
of an incArnate scourge.
Mr.. Gallagher, Of the City Mills, is the
owner Of a very fine span Of white mules.
One of them is little fractisus, and much
given to the habit at nipping and annoying
his more sedate and better behaved con-.
panlon. On Sunday last, if we are cor
rectly informed, they were turned loose in
an enclosure to Craze. The fractions chap
probably renewed his irritating nonsense;
but be this as it may, the better natured
mule seems to have lost his temper, and to
have made up his mind to resent all the
