Ono chief trouble in the way II get.
ting rid Of the Ccurt.lTouso debt has been
that the Sheriff is always two years he
hind with the county. Last October there
was due the county from the levy Of 1879,
si,5iSoG. This money had been due since
January previous. Had the amount been
paid over then, bond could have been
paid. II was not paid till short time
ago, however, and in the meantime ~ ,osS
Of interest had bccome due. The interest
therefore absorbed nearly the whole
amount. No blame need he attached TO
Mr.. Albright, he simply enjoyed the in
diligence granted to former sherils. The
trouble Is in the County Court, which ought
to require collecting oilicers to he more
prompt in their settlements.
Last Thursday, a gentleman named
William Brown, from Hazel Patch, paid
Mt. Vernon visit. IIewas accompanied
by gentleman named Singleton. These
gentlemen were sisibly under the influ-
ence Of stimulsnts when they arrived; yet
they continued, with persistency that, in
better cause, would have been commend
able, to throw stimulant after stimulant
under their Wristbands until they were
both a. "full o. ticks In this condition
they sauntered down TO the depot, where
they INDUCED in the innocent amusement
Of shooting holes in the floor, somewhat to
the annoyance Of Mr.. Maret, the agent,
who Is not an ardent admirer Of skilled
Workmanship. Complaint, being made,
Judge Mcclure issued warrant for the
apprehension Of the gentlemen. They
we're arrested and pistol taken Oh Of Mr.
Browns person. After being locked up a
few hours till they could sober or" they
were brought out for trial. Mr. Singleton
vas acquitted. Mr.. Brown was fined SIC
for unlawful shooting; $50 and imprison
msnt for ten days for carrying concealed
. deadly weapons. lie was placed behind
