 The Or iminal Term of the Superior Court

John Donovan, of Winsted, was put on trial for sales of liquor without license Exception was taken to the manner in which the jury was drawn by the clerk The judge overruled the objection and the jury were impanneled. The State offer ed the evidence of the two detectives, Perry and Smith (who testified on the Thompson trial some time ago), to an actual sale. The jury promptly brought in verdict of guilty. Huntington and Smith for State; Andrews and Fem for the prisoner.
 John Grinnan was then put on trial for rep utation of keeping place where liquor is sold. On behalf of the State large number of witnesses were offered, who testified to the fact that Grinnan keeps place where intoxi- eating liquors are reported to be sold. They also testified to repeated seizures of liquors at the place; to having seen drunken men conl- ing out; to the bringing of cases, apparently of lager beer, to the place once or twice day; and to other facts showing that the reputation of the defendant was just one. The only defence set up by the prisoner was that he was mere clerk Of John Donovan who leased the premises andswas sole proprietor; that he was hired at $12 a week, and had been in charge of the premises for about two years.

We would willingly have stayed an hour longer listening to her recitations, and we shall not soon forget her poem about whistlng; and if eyer MT.

The Depressing Results Of Flying

Auo boPreselne hesultS OF tlylDg
Take one dream and hope that for
centuries has vainly puzzled people,
and assume that that may he realized.
What il the next century should see
aerial navigation fact and man should
be able to fly! Very many believe that
this certainly will be accomplished. at
some time or other, and many of our
greatest discoveries have come sudden
" when they did come. Let us have
the power Of self-propulsion through
the air. with the speed that would be
involved in progress through so light
medium, and the changes that would
follow are too many and sweeping for
the Imagination to take in at once.
Let it be fairly accomplished aud it
would probably bring on. to begin with,
the greatest financial crash ever seen.
1t is little in the limo of historical
irony that the first result OF the full
power to rise should be depression. -
Aerial navigation would mean paraly-
sis TO the railroad interests which have
become such q monstrous power in the
country Turn the Dir into highway
like the ocean or the lakes, and the day
of railway dictation, indeed Of railway
business, Is over. So vast investments
cannot be abandoned without tho ut
most financial disturbance. But the
final effect Of course would be bene-
fetal.
