The town of Goodson, the Virginia half
of Bristol, contemplates building a town
hall. and will take vote ON it the 10th of
May. ~.s-.
''Picwick" writes to the Courier-J Journal,
from Knoxville the following: "A stranger
in this town will be impressed by the large
number of military men he meets. Nearly
every third man is colonel. There are
colonies on full pay, colonies on half pay,
and colonies on no pay at all, with heavy
assortment of captains and majors, to say
nothing of non-eommissioned officers and
privates.'
The young man, James Powers, whom
we mentioned as having escaped from his
sickroom at Bristol few nights since, in a
state of mental arrangement, has been found
at residence Is miles from Bristol, as we
earn from the Courier.

DOES INrIDELITY PAY?

The untaithtul man is more untrue to
himself than to any one else. Every
promise which he breaks, every trust
which he dishonOrs, every responsibility
which he throw off, every rightful labor
which he shirks, weakens the force Of
the inner law, destroys his iirmness,
impairs his energy, hardens his cons
cience and renders him not free man,
but q slave. In being unfaithflll to
others, he jis still more unfaithfnl to his
own nature: in trying to secure soHe
paltry qualification he has lost the
richest treasurer of his being
This effect of untaithfulness is seldom
dwelt upon. The injury done to others
is 80 much more palpable that that side
alone is usually presented. Yet every
one who voluntarily INJURIES another
person iDhicts Il more serious injury
upon himself The unfaithftll man is,
indeed, an enemy to his reighbor and
an enemy to society, but a far worse
enemy to himself.
He may rob them of money, OF time,
of happiness, of their right, bnt he robs
himself of character, which is more
valuable than all the rest. Then does

ls A rHoRoucH REMEDY
CADET BUCK.
His Trial and Acquitta1.

NEwBrRG, n. Y, April l3.-The trial
of Beaumont i. Buck. cadet at West
Point from Texas, charged with shooting
John G.. Thompson, Jr., of Ohio, ut High
land Falls, in June last, has been in pro
gress here to-day before Justice Cullen,
of the Supreme Court. Much interest is
manifested; the court room was crowded,
many ladies being present.
The witnesses included q number Of
West Point cadets, formerly students ut
Col. Huse's Academy, where the shoot
ing occurred; the surgeon who attended
Thompson, Col Huse and his son. Buck
and Thompson.
The prosecution proved the facts of the
shooting as already known.
The defense claimed that Buck had
been subjected to all sorts of indignites
and insults from the moment Of his AZ
rival ut school Thompson being the
leading spirit, that Buck was gentle,
civil and inotienSive and sought to avoid
trouble; that he had left school and gone
to board at u private house TO get out OF
the way Of his tormentors, and that the
indignitieS were pushed TO such IN ex-
tent as to become unbearable and caused
Buck to be seriously apprehensive for his
personal safety,
The defense claimed and Buck testified
that Thompson was the aggressor on the
morning of the shooting, and was actu-
ally menacing Buck ut the time Of the
atlray.
Counsel for the defense presented testi-
monials Of good character in favor OF
Buck from clergymen, teachers and 9th
ers, residents of Dallas, Texas
II was summed for the defense this al
ternoon by Chas. H. Winfield, of New
York, aud for the prosecution this even
ing by eX-Judge Stephen W. Fullerton,
of New York.
The jury retired at $50. They return.
ed to the courtroom after being out an
hour and ten minutes and returned a
verdict of acquittal, The announce
ment was received with loud applause
and cheers, and on adjournment of the
court Buck received many congratula-
tions, including those of members of the
jury and ladies. One Of the latter atfec.
tionately embraced the Texan. Buck al
once telegrapled to his father, at Hills.

RIVER.

YASKTowN, u. r, April. two
weeks large araes of bottom lands exf
tending many hundreds Of I1Iles along
each side Of the river, have been sub
merged by water and heavy masses Of
ice. A large share OF this land is, or
was, well settled. All their stock is lost,
dwellings, churches, stores, schoolhonses
even whole villages are demolished and
swept away.
In many instances groups Of families
who had taken refuge in larger build
ings are still imprisoned III gorged to ice
and cannot be reached by the most de-
termined efforts A careful estimate
shows that ut at least 1000 people are
driven from their homes. OF this NUM-
Der at least one-half lose everything but
the clothing they had OH, aud will need
aid from one to three months.
Citizens in the vicinity have done and
are doing all in their power to save and
help the sufferers. The government
will issue rations to certain extent,
but after all this has been done there
will still be great need Of money and
clothing and also Of grain for planning.
The address is signed By Acting Cover
nor Hand, the Mayor Of Yanktown, and
several prominent citizens of that city.
1t has been ascertained that the gorge
which has caused che food upon tho

HOW FRAUDULENT BUTTER IS
MADE.

The new process to make butter with
ont milk or cream consists in blood boil
ING and bone boiling. The blood and
bones of eats and dogs are just as vaiua-
BILE for the manufacture OF oieomafgarine
butter as that OF the bovine.
One New York factory turns ont 2iO,-
900 pounds per week Of this filthy stuff,
which sells for % and 50 cents per
pound. At these prices, surely oleo-
margarine is not intended as the poor
mans substitute for butter.
The national government should pass
q law that would put an end to this
fraudulent article of consumption that
contains the germs ofdisease, tape worms
in embryo and morbid secretions. 1t is
a dishonest commercial product because
it is sold by dark lantern methods.
