How AN Irishman Paid Debt Of Grati-
tUdc.
Pittsburg Times. |

Pttsburg Times.
\ scene which attracted considerable at>
tention occurred about noon yesterday on
Liberty street. One of the drivers in turn
ing off Liberty in Wood street, stalled his
team on the railroad track Immediately in
front of an approaching train. The mules
pulled alternately, by fits and starts, but all
the coaxing and whipping was to no purpose
in extracting the team from the approach
ing danger. The engineer was motioned to
stop the train, which he did Just as it got
within a few inches of the wagon. The
driver, an Irishman, finally succeeded in get
ting his wagon out of the way The engi-
neers turn then came for trouble The train
was very heavy. and being on q slight
ly up grade, could not be budged single
inch, though the full pressure of steam was
turned on. The engineers malediction on
the 1rishman's head were loud and deep.
The IriShman realized the situation, and
after his own misfortune was evidently ready
to sympathiZe with the engineer and render
him any assistance in his power. So glanc-
ing for a moment ut the unpleasant situation
and observing that zone good turn deserves
another" unhitched his mules and driving
them around in front of the locomotive,
hitched them to the cowcatcher. He then
took his seat under the headlight behind
them, wrapped the lines several times around
his hands and with a business look in his
eye, began urging the mules to move ahead
with the mighty load by kicking them on
the legs with his heels The mules thus
urged to move strained every nerve until
they fell forward on their knees. The wheels
of the engine soon began to move around and
the train to 60 ahead slowly The Irish
man Immediately nnhitched his team and
got out of the way 81 did it; l gave it the
start anyway" he exclaimed as the train
slowly moved off and an amused throng be-
gan to disperse. The Irishman's grave coun-
tenance seemed to indicate that he had only
spoken what he believed

Alabama Supreme Court.


What is meant by the expression in the
statute "Intemperance habits" Habit is
defined to be fixed or established custom
ordinary course of conduct" 1t used not to
be the uniform CT unvarying rule, but to be
Il habit it must be the ordinary course of the
conduct-the general rule Or custom. 1t
may have exceptions. Exceptions do not
destroy rule. But unless, when occasion
offers, there is a disposition, or probable in
cIination, to drink to exl oss, incorporate
habits cannot be predicted. If sobriety is
the rule, and occasional intoxication the ex-
ception, then the case is not brought within
the statute. On the other hand, if the rule
or habit is to drink to intoxication when
occasion offers, and sobriety or abstinence is
the exception, then the charge of intemper-
ate habits is established. Now, to make
out this charge it is not necessary that this
custom shall be an everyday rule There
are persons whose custom it is to remain
sober while at home, and who, when in COM
pany, or visiting the town or village, gener-
ally drink to excess, although occasionally
they abstain and remain sober. In such case
drunkenness is shown to be the rule, or ordi-
nary course of conduct; and to give or sell
to such person, knowing him to be such
spirituous, vinous, or malt liquors, is viola
ton of the statute.

PRosPECTUS.-'Of making many books
there is no end" and the multiplication Of
newspapers is the popular source of educat-
ing the people. We are aware that the idea
is quite prevalent that Bradford County has
too many papers, but with the large number
not one is wholly devoted to the interest of
the great producing. class-the agriculture
ists-and at the urgent solicitation of some of
the best practical farmers in the county, we
have decided to commence about the first of
the new year, a local agricultural weekly,
especially adapted to the wants of the farmers
of this section. The contributors to the
paper will embrace the best practical farmers
in the county, ana we shall aim to make it
of real value to every tller Of the soil, dairy
Imam and stock raiser in the county, by Civ
ing the results of experiments by those in
whom the classes interested have confidence,
and whose success in business is an evidence
TO thorough practical knowledge.
The paper will contain condensation of
the general news and the fullest local notes.
Fuller particulars hereafter.
