Near the west end of the Meadows Elliott

miles and half of the course had now been rowed,
and Elliott LED by three lengths clearing the

The Selinsgrove Times says! Some news
papers are finding fault with Judge Cum
min, of Lycoming county, for remarking to
a prisoner at the bar for sentence for COM
mitting assault and battery by hurling a
stone at a man who used very vulgar Ian
guase in The presence ef the prisoners wife
and daughter, that the only mistake he made
was in not using bigger stone and taking
better aim. The remark of the Judge may
not be in accordance with the law, but it is
= question of no little importance whether
the law should not be made to be in accord
ance with the Judges remark and post
facto advice. There is a great lameness in
the law. If man but shake his fist at an
other angrily, he rs guilty of assault and
if he barely touch another he is guilty of
assault and battery, though no injury was
done or even intended but one man can
pcrsecu:e him continually with mean and
insulting language, and in law he has no
remedy; and if he resents these insults,
although he may have the mercy of the
court he is srre also to have to pay the
costs. Here then, We say, there Is u deci-
ded lameness in the law, for every one has
just as good right to be protected against
a blackguard'. tongue as against his list,
and the law ought to provide a remedy. If
the law provided penalty for such offences
il would not only be defence to those now
defenceless, but it would have strong ten
dency TO inspire caution against the use of
bad language and tend to create better man
ners. We, for one, stand by Judge Cummin.
