AooUITTAL OF CADET Buck FOR
! SHOOTING YOUNG THoMPsoN.-Tbe
trial of Beaumont B. Buck, the cadet
at West Peint from Texas, charged
with shooting John g. Thompson, jr.,
OF Ohio. at Highland Falls, in June
last, was concluded Wednesday, bes
fore Justice Cullen, of the Supreme
Court at Newburg, N. Y. The pros
ecution proved the fact of the shoot
ing, as already known. The defense
claimed that Buck had been subject
ed to all sorts of indignities and in
suits from the moment of his arrival
at the school, Thompson being the
leading spirit; that Back was gentle,
civil and incfensive, and sought to
avoid trouble; that be had left school
and gone to board at q private house
to get out of the way OF his tormen-
tors, and that the indlgnities were
pushed to such an extent as to be-
come unbearable, and caused Buck
to be seriously apprehensive for his
personal safety. The jury retired at
$40. They returned to the court
room after being out an hour and
ten minutes and rendered a verdict
OF acquitta]. The announcement
was received with loud applause and
cheers, and on the adjournment of
the court Buck received many con-
gratulations, including those of
members of the jury and many ladies,
one of the latter affeetionately en-
bracing the Texan. Buck at once
teiegraphed the result to his father,
at Hillsborough, Texas.

Church Eem0

While the most Of our travelling
men, comn.elc iul tourist, are nice
christian gentlemen, there is occa-
sionally one who is as full of Old
Nick as an egg at this time of year
is full Of malaria There was one of
them stopped at a country town a
few nights ago where there was a
church fair. He is a blonde good
natured looking, serious talking
chap, and having stopped at that
town every month for dozen years,
everybody knows him. He always
chips in towards a collection, a
wake or rooster fight, and the
town swears by him.
He attended the fair, and q jolly
little sister of the church, married
lady, took him by the hand and led
him through fields, where the girls
sold him ten cent chances in saw dust
dolls, and beside still waters, where
q girl sold him sweetened water with
sour stomach, for lemonade from
Rebecca's well. Tho sister finally
stood beside him while the deacon
was calling off numbers. They were
drawing quilt, and as the numbers
were drawn, it was announced by
the deacon that humber, fifteen
drew the quilt, and the little sister
turned to the travelling man and
said: "My, that is my number; I
have drawn it. What shall I do?"
Hold up your ticket and shout
Keno" said he. The little dea~
caness did not stop to think that
there might be guile lurking in the
travelling man, but being full of joy
at drawing the quilt and ice cream
because the travelling man bought
it, she rushed into the crowd to-
wards the deacon, holding up her
number and shouting so they could
hear her all over the house: Keno!
II bank had burst in the building
there couldn't have been SO much
establishment. The deacon turned
pale, and Looked at the poor little
sister asthough sho had fallen from
grace, and all the church people
looked sad at her, while the worldly
minded people snickered. The little
woman saw she had got her foot in
to something, and she blushed and
backed out, and asked the travelling
man what keno meant. He said he
didn't know exactly, but he had
always seen people when they won
anything at that game to yell Ike
mo- She isn't exactly clear yet what
keno is, bat she says she has sworn
