For The Smyrna Time,
Court Proceedings.


The trial of Thomas Truitt (n) for the
murder of Cornelius Moseley, at Bowers
Beach in August last occupied all of Thurs.
day and Friday last week. Hon. George
Z. Fisher was assigned by the Court as
counsel for the prisoner. twenty-five wit
nesses were examined; the witnesses for
the state were clear and consistent in their
version Of the story. The testimony for
the defence was point blank TO the contra.
ry, but varied greatly. The Jury must have
rejected this evidence in lots, for they re.
turned in a short time with verdict of
equity of Murder in the Second Degree"
The prisoner received his sentence with
stolid indifference. Five Hundred Dol.
lars fine, Sixty lashes, Costs of Prosecution
and imprisonment for Life; but it fell
like a chill on all the rest of the audience.

with intent to commit rape" and also for

The canned goods export trade has &C.

Whatever prejudice there is against 1t IN
England arises from the careles'neSs o.
certain exporters in using lead with the
tin. The local Government Board In Lon

the prevalence of lead poisoning through
the use of lead in the Timing OF canned

Rev. F. D. Power, pastor Of the Christian
Church, had a large congregation Sunday
night. Mr.. Garfeld's connection with this
church has been brought into considerable
prominence of late. Mr.. Power had an.
nounced that his sermon would be on "the
great election" Every one supposed that
he would discourse of the political campaign
just closing, but he surprised them all by
speaking Of the final judgment and election
of the righteous, emitting all reference to
politics

THE New England Methodist Episcopal
Conference was asked last spring to ordaln
Miss Annie L. Shaw to the ministry, but
declined on the common grounds, says the
Examiner, that the pastoral Office does not
properly belong to woman. Miss Shaw
had built up congregation IN Massachu'
sets which paid her 81, 900 year, while Its
former pastor could only collect about S4OO'
AS the Methodist Episcopal would not
recognize her claims on that account, she
applied recently to the Methodist Protes-
tant Conference, and was elected to orders
by majority of four. She was thereafter
ordained, though the President OF the
Conference declined to have any part in it,
and withdrew, together with other brethren.
For this act Rev. Miss Shaw's church is to
become Methodist Protestant.

The state Election!

The election yesterday was an animated
and full one, but peacof free from
any personal rancor. There was not dis
turbance or quarrel all day but a great
deal of hard work. The total poll was 854
or rather $50, two tax receipts being voted
by mistake. In 1876 the poll here was 687
and in 1874 it was Sl8. Lemuel 7. John.
son led his ticket by some dozen votes
the rest varying very little.

ELECTION INcIDENTs.-Ths day was one
OF the best and the general humor for an
election was correspondingly pleasant.
There was some crowding at the polls in
the morning, but neither showing any dis.
position to give way, they got tired, espe.
cially after the town officers got out of the
way, and there was free access to the polls
the rest OF the day.
The difference between the elections now
and thirty years ago was most marked. An
election then without scores of drunken
men and dozen fights was considered a
tame affair. Yesterday there was neither,
and If uncle Davy Hall were now living
his peace making fiddle would be without
vocation. The closing of tho bars has
the main credit for this, but the people
have advanced to a considerably higher
grade in the scale of civilization.
There is another change however the
other way, and very much to the discredit
OF the growing intelligence. Then an In.
spector was considered worth only ten or o
dozen votes to his party. Now with the
manipulating of the election laws, supplied
tax receipts to delinouents, &C., heis worth
from forty to fifty votes. Then, paying q
mans tax or the presentation of a pair OF
boots or a coat was the extent of the cor.

seem to have plenty of money and pur.

it is, however, better than a mode then
in vogue, namely, cooping drunken men
or getting them drunk from free barrel
of rum, II man is to be corrupted, he
had better go home with the wherewith tc
supply his family with meat for tho winter
than with that which carries only curses n
his family and a headache to all.

this may be proftably made at a
far less price than real butter can be
furnished, and it is by no means sur
prising that there should have been a
lively war stirred up against it by the
dairymen. What real objection can be
raised, therefore, against using it is one
of sentiment chiefly, since the methods
for its preparation are claimed TO be far
less amenabie to criticism in the matter
of neatness than are the usual processes
for the making of butter in ordinary
dairies. As it looks like butter, tastes
like butter, and contains the same prop

OLEOMARGARrNE

There has been much said in newspa-
pers about the new substitute for butter,
and although known in general way
that it was compound prepared from
beef suet partaking Of the appearance
and many Of the properties of real but.
ter, yet the average mind looked upon it
as fraud that we owed it to ourselves
to abhor mildly and frown down as we
would a bogus Russian Count or ficti-
tious lord who should come over here to
court one Of our society bellies; but there
has not been any very exact knowledge
as to the real rights that oleomargarine
had to exist, ana be recognized as
among the actual discoveries of the pc
riod. A lawsuit is pending at this time
in New York against certain parties de-
fendant, which was brought by the
United States Dairy Company of New
York. This Company state that some
years ago Mr.. Mege Mauries, French
gentleman, became impressed with the
idea that butter could be made from the
fat of cows as well as from milk. He
came to the conclusion, after expert
ments, that the fat of the animal
was absorbed and carried into
the circulation, deprived of its
stearine by respiratory combus-
tion, or, in plain English, by the act of
breathing, and furnished its oleomar-
garine to the udders, where, under the
influence Of the mammary pepsin it was
changed into butter.
After experimenting with great pa
tience the process was reduced to such
perfection that compound was pro-
duced that is 80 wonderfully exact an
imitation of the actual product of the
dairy, as to defy the ordinary consum-
sr's power of detection, and its manufac-
ture was regularly begun. Of course
