Prof. Pfrimmer has secured music

lessons OH Monday night Of this week.
The Professor evincesa thorough knowl-
edge of music, and has a pleasant and
iorcible way of imparting that knowl-
edge to others, and he Is very pleas
ant and affabIe gentleman also.

Poor men, they doubtless deserve the
punishment, but If could see the man
WHO furnished them the liquor, wheth-
er Re be bar-keeper. druggist or moon
sinner, at their side with a ball and
chain also, I would think justice were
coming nearer her rights. The vending
of liquor to be used as beverage Is
certainly one of the greatest crimes
known to law, as it Is of all things else,
the most fearful source of crime, but
when will Legislators and other officers
come to recognize this fact, and not
only punish the actual perpetrator Of
crime, but also punish the instigator
and accessory to the crime, for such the
swillvender certainly Is.
We had quite sensation in our town
last week A young man named Grog-
soi, from the upper part of the county,
who is boarding in town, attending
Prof. Arnold's school, had, a week or
80 before, loaned a pistol to young
man named Mcintyre, who claimed
that he was going to try and arrest the
man who broke Jail here week before
last. Mcintyre was seen to have the
pistol IN the country, hence writ was
issued for his arrest. He came in town
late on Thursday evening. Sheriff
Gardiner met him in company with
Grogson about dark, near Higdon x
Wortham's drug store. Mcintyre had
the pistol in his hand, as, he said, on
his way, with IL to the shop To have 1t
mendt.d Gardiner laid his hand upon
HIM, and told him he had writ for
him, W hen he attempted To give the
pistol To Grogson. Gardiner, thinking
that GrogsOn was trying 10 interfere,
arrested him also. and took them both
before Judge Mcclure. Here Mcintyre
stated that he did give the pistol TO
Grogson, but tile weapon could not be
found upon the person Of Grogson, so he
was committed to Jail upon the charge
of carrying concealed weapon and ar
raigned upon that charge before Judge
Mcclure for trial. In the meantime
the pistol was found under a pile of
stones near where they were arrested,
and Grogsons's statement was that
when he received the pistol from Me-
Intyre, that instead of concealing II
upon his person, that he Immediately
threw il under the stones, and the
Commonwealth failing 10 prove other
wise, he was acquitted. Mcintyre was
held over on me Warrant unuer wnich
See the trouble and expense one little
pocket pistol got these young men into.
Why will young men persist in this
foolish hao1 OF carrying p's'oi!
