The ladies of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union return sincere
thanks to the citizens of Washington,
for the very generous contribution to
our funds made on Sabbath evening,
January is, at the close of Mrs. Liver
more's lecture. Since beginning to hold
regular Sabbath afternoon Gospel tenn
perance meetings on the 14th of Sep
tember up to January 1st, we have dis
tributed more than 5000 pages of tenn
perance handbills and other tracts, at
the meetings, on the streets, in livery
stables, depots, etc. Hitherto we have
depended on membership fees alone for
the money to purchase this free litera-
ture; but these are entirely exhausted,
and we had in contemplation the hold
ing of temperance social, which may
now, through this contribution, be
postponed.
We are earnestly endeavoring to open
peoples eyes on "beer''-to show what
it is, how it is made, what it costs, what
is in it, and what it does to those who
drink it. We propose to show that
"beer tell lies" that it deceives through
the alcohol which it contains. A thor
ough understanding of this point alone,
we believe, will do more to awaken the
moderate drinker than any other argu-
ment that can be brought to bear. We
propose to show up beer as a medicine,
in the hospital, as the cause of crime, as
a temperance drink, as drink for
women, etc. We desire to indoctrinate
the youth of our land with the teach
ings of science concerning alcohol; and
when this is done they will be as care
full ofits use as of that of strychnine.

Geo. Risley's shoe store was broken
into and robbed of about $50 worth Of
goods on Monday night, 10th inst, A
fresh salted hide was also stolen from
Mr.. James Bragg, at the same place.
The matter was placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Lydy and Constable
Allen to work up, and the fact of the
robbery was kept quiet. Officer Lydy
succeeded in finding sufficient evidence
to warrant the arrest of two colored
men named jim. Holland and Bob Bass,
as the thieves, and recovered most Of
the stolen goods. He found where they
had sold the hide, and Holland had on a
pair of rubber boots, identified as part
of the stolen goods, when arrested. The
balance of the goods were found
at different places where they had con-
cealed them. Holland had a prelimi-
nary examination before Esq. Kerr on
Tuesday, and was bound over to court
in $500 bail, and sent to Jail to remain

Judge Steele made the following de-
csion on Tuesday;
Held-lst, That the suit was rightly
brought in this county. I'd, Being so
brought, summons could issue against
dcfendent to any other county. Sd,
That service Of first summons was not
good because it does not appear from
the return that none Of the specified Off
GERS, chief or subordinate, could be
found In this county, nor that the offices
or usual place of business Of the Com
pany was not here. Secondly, il does
not appear that Hart, upon whom 1t
was served, was a regular ticket or
freight agent The return can not be
amended In this respect, because the
term Of the officer who made 1t has ex-
pired. Thirdly, Hart was an employe
and agent Of Receiver Of the Company,
and not the agent of the S. j. q P. r. X.
4th. AS to second summons, 1t was
directed to G.. II. Frye as President Of
S. j. Sc P, notifying him that 1t had
been sued. Held--That the summons
must be issued against the Company,
and while it may be served on the
President, a summons against him does
not bring the Company into Court. The
service Of both writs, therefore, is set
aside at the cost of plaintiff.

Law Suit Against the Sc, j. &
r, Railway
Jiue eboro q Go1atfn ToDuarv %


Hillsboro Gazette, January %.
A motion to quash summons in the
case of Rucker & Son VS.. Springfield,
Jackson and PomerOy R. R. on account
of insufficient service, was argued be-
fore Judge Steele last Saturday morn
ing, Hon. Mills Gardner appearing for
defendant, and Judge Stafford for plain
tiff. Messrs. Rucker & Son were con-
tractors for the construction of portions
of the road, and sue for $75, 900 due for
work performed. Mr.. Gardner argued
that the service was not sufficient, in
that it had been made on - Hart,
Agent at Greenfield, without specifying
what kind of an agent, whether freight
or ticket.
The second service, made on Presi-
dent Frye at Springfield, he also claimed
was insufficient, as it should have been
made on owners or agents of the road
in the county where suit was entered.
The law provides that service may be
made on agents, or on conductors OF
trains, and Mr.. Gardner claimed that
going outside of Highland where suit
has been entered, to make service on
President Fry, was an irregular pro-
ceeding. Judge Stafford cited numerous
authorities, and made quite an elabor-
ate argument in support of his petition
He also argued another point by con
sent, which had not been sprung by the
defendants counsel, but which he con-
sidered of more vital importance than
the question of service. This was
whether the Receiver of road was in
law the Agent, whether as such Agent
he could be sued in his trust capacity
for debts of the road. Counsel for
plaintiffs desired te have these points
cleared by decision of Court, before
proceeding further, as there are a num-
Der Of depositions to be taken in other
States. The case involves not only a
large amount Of money, but several i'm
portant law points,

washington Lecture AssOclatton

Washington Lecture Association,
EDS. HERALD: Permit me to write a
word in behalf of the Washington Lee
ture Association. 1t has furnished a
series of lectures that have added to
the literary advantages of our town.
They have been an honor to the COM
munity. They have given tirst-class
entertainments. 1t is certain that this
association has faithfully discharged
their duty. In doing this they have
incurred liabilities that the sale of tick
cts has failed to meet. Last winter they
lost about $40. This winter promises
to be even more disastrous, unless the
two coming lectures are better patron
lied than their predecessors have been.
They can not be expected to furnish
lectures to the good people of Wash
ington unless we pay enough to sus-
tain them. 1t would be a calamity to
have them disband and have no system
of supplying the town with lectures,
yet this they will do unless relief comes.
This relief can be had by filling the
hall full on the next two nights.
have volunteered to write this state
ment. The members of the association
know nothing of it. I write in the in
terest of fairness, justice and right.
Fellow-citizens, think Of this and see
that the hall is filed to overlooking at
both of the lectures yet to be given be-
fore the present course is complete.
With respect, j. o. IRWIN.
