The Blair Case Gone to the Jury.

NEWARK, Nj, Oct. 1s.--The Blair case was
committed to the july this morning. In his
charge, Judge Depue reviewed the circum-
stances and discussed the question whether the
accused was climinally responsible for the kt'l-
ing of Armstrong, and especially defined the
law Of self defence. He held that when Arm.
strong YVES discharged, 1t was hts duty to leave
within a reasonable time, otherwise he became
a trespasser and could be removed by neces-
ssry force. Among other things he said that
If Blair armed himself, not to engage In an af-
fray or provoke quarrel, but to protect him
self from the violence of an iufurtated man, he
was not In fault. The jury was bound to con-
slider the circumstances and give the accused
the benefit Of bis previous good character, and
of any reasonable doubt as to his guilt. The
burden Of proof rests with the prosecution, and
should there be any doubt Of his guilt the pris-
oner is entitled to an acqutttal.

| Preparatory to the rutty, stony roads ex- pected, there are being about an hundred of the Dudley Patent scrapers manufactured at the Carriage shop of Messrs Flynn $ Doyle, | and we learn that MT. Dudley will exhibit the working of said scrapers in our adjoining will lages, the coming summer.
 Our new Hall is assuming gigantic pro- portions, especially in the roof; and, when finished, will indeed be an ornament, to the place.
 From the way western and northern hors- es are coming into town, we shall expect soon to see many citizens driving good horses ln- stead of cheap ones. Messrs Brown and Clem- ons, of Woodvile and the Mountain, brought in seventeen fine northern horses, last week, and Mir. Wheeler is expected this week with as many, or more.
 Last Thursday evening quite number of ladies and gentlemen gathered at Mrs. Mariah Stoddard's for the purpose of raising funds for the furnishing of our new hall, the ladies giv- Ing each cts, beside their work on fancy ar ticles; and the gentlemen, 10 cts. $1.6O in cash was collected.
 MT. Henry Palmer's singing school closes this week, we are told. His school during the past winter has been quite successful.
 Mir E. C.. Crossman is confined to his room with infammatory rheumatism, with which he suffers more or less every winter. He has our sympathy.
 The angel of death has again visited this place, taking daughter of Theron Loveland. Her disease was scarlet fever, but we hear of no new cases at present. and trust there may be no more.
 Another interesting lecture was delivered by the Rev. H. Stone, at Mir. Ponds Sunday evening, and, despite the bad going, was quite we'll at tended. xxx.

Enforcing the Law.

Winsted is having lively temperance cam- paign. It was first opened by Prosecuting Agent
 Kilbourn, of this town, by whom several deal CTS were prosecuted and convicted under the
 reputation clause of the statute The fines
 were light, however, and had little effect on the traffic. Since the appointment of Prose- cutting Agent Lawrence, resort has been had to the sharper process of confscation. Several important seizures have been made-the most remarkable being that of liquors to the value of two or three thousand dollars in the press room cf the Wiaasted Ne,os. They had evident ly been deposited there by David Williams, who has saloon near the News office, and from whose establishment tracks were seen to lead to the basement or press room of the build ing in which the News is published.
 The compartment in which the liquors were fouud, says the Herald, had evidently been but lately built, and as evidently with the pur- pose of screening the saloen-keepsr from the seizure and confscation of property to which his business exposes him. Such a place of concealment could hardly have been construct ed, and the liquors placed there, without the connivance of MT. Henry A. Bills, editor and proprietor of the News Such connivance makes him morally if net technically guilty of the crime of which concealment was attempt ed.
 The success of this Winsted movement is evidently due in large degree to the character of the men concerned in it. MT. Lawrence, the Prosecuting Agent, is veteran in temper ance work. Among the posse conaitotus who assisted in making the seizures the Herald mentions the following: Rufus E. Holmes, Wing Persons, John Woodford, Edward R. Beardsley, c. E. Ransom, E. W. Jones, Rev. 5. B. Forbes, Edward P. Wilcox, Gee. White, Wellington B. Smith, Charles R. Hathaway and Prosecuting Officer Hiram P. Lawrence. It is such determined work by men who are not afraid to act as we'll as to talk in good cause that accomprshes genuine reforms. A vote of ''no license" will never execute itself. The men who vote that way must be ready to follow up their votes by a sharp and unremit- ing enforcement of the law.

Settled :?

Mir. Patton, chairman of women suffrage committee, explained that the committee were satisged that not five per cent of tue women of the state wished the right, and that the committee unanimously agreed that it was not best for them to have it. He wished it under stood that the committee had the most pre- found regard and affection for the women and were animated by sincere dersie to do that which was most for their welfare.- Courant Report.
 If, as Senator Patton incautiously admits the denlal of the suffrage is the denial of a right, it makes no difference how few demand it. If it is true that not one woman in twenty wishes to exercise that right, it is because they have been led by the islanders of men of MT. Patton's way of thinking to believe that voting is debasing business for anybody. If such is the fact, and it is ''not best' on that account for women to vote, it is ''not best" for men to vote government by the people is failure and we should re- turn to those aristocratic, or despotic forms which our American forefathers rejected from the first. Last of all we cannot imagine how sensible women can feel anything but the pro- fsundest contempt for profound regard and affection" which rates property holding New England women below the emigrant and the ne gro in capacity for self government.
 The dilatoriness of law proceedings is strong ly exemplified in case recently decided fol the fourth time in New York court. In 1855 one Latourette insured his property Tn the Pro lection company of Hartford. The property was destroyed by fire shortly after, but the company had failed, and Lautourette sued Da vid Clark, one of it's directors, for having made false statements regarding it's condition The case has been tried twice to a jury, and al the last trial the plaintiff had judgment fol over $12,000. It bids fair to last five or ten years longer.
