Proceedings OF tsse District
f,0xnra.


The District Court continued its
session during the whole Of the pres
emit week, and, using all proper dill
gencc has been enabled to clear pretty
much the most important business be-
fore it. The civil docket may be cen
sidcred as having been entirely ex-
hausted, as every case, that could pos
siBly have been reached, has been tried.
As to criminal business, the cases re-
manning over are such that could not
be tried at the present term and those
| that have been continued will work no
prejudice either % the State or the
parties. as these are mostly for INSIDE
meanors, and the accused are all under
bond. The following criminal cases
have been tried since our last weeks
report:
State VS. Daniel Lee, col, for lar
ceny the accused pleaded guilty, bat
has not yet been sentenced.
State VS.. Laurent PHO, col, and
Emmanuel Spain, col, for disturbing
peaceable assembly. Pujo WAS found
guilty, and Spain not guilty.
Statevs. Tom Clayton, col, larceny
convicted. !
In the case of State VS.. Ctarvey
Pnio, col, charged with assault with
a dangerous weapon with intent to
Kill, the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty. No sentences have as yet been
passed upon any of the parties con
ricted. /
We publish at length elsewhere the !
resolutions adopted by the bar and the
Court, in respect to the memory of the
late Hon. David John Reid. We |
also publish, by request, the special
report of the Grand Jury, made |
on the Goth of April, concerning GER
tain charged infringements of the Sun
dav Law and other misdeineanors and |
avail ourselves Of this opportunity of
expressing our cordial concurrence in
the conclusions of this report. The
demurrer to the Indictment, referred
to in the report, did not relate to any
thing on the face Of the indictment,
but was applied to the drawing of the
jury for the August term, 1880, from
which The Grand Jury, which found
the. indictment, was selected.

A Beautiful Poem.

Country newspapers arc so rarely
favored with original poetry worth
reading, that most of them, very
sensibly, refuse all poetieal contribu-
tions. The Pointe Coupee Banner has
had the rare good fortune to be ia
vored with an original poem, so really
beautiful that VIC take pleasure in re-
producing it. The fair writer has
founded it upon an extract from Ten
nyson's " In Memcriam," and there is
something in the measured melody of
her lines so truly Tennysonian, that If
they were not written by lady we
should feel iRelined+o express doubt
of their originality. Aline" will do
honor to that southern sisterhood OF
song so highly grsced by Mary Ashley
Townsend and Mrs. NJ. i. Williams.
The following is the poem referred to
A christmas vigil.
Written for the Pointe Coupee Banner.]
q Calm ON the seas, ard silver sleep,
And waves that SWAY themselves in rest,
Aud dead calm In that noble breast
Which heaves but with the heaying deep.
With such compelling cause TO grieYe
As daily Yexes household peace,
And chains regret to his deeease,
Hew dare We keep our Christmas even?
l-=1e's,ysoa.
The night has led her starry hest
Beyond the portals OF the east,
And distant chimings faint and low,
Ring welcomes to the Holy Feast.
Behind the shadows OF the hills,
The white faced moon slips westward by
Ger meadows deep In silent snow,
Where summers hopes and promise lie.
know that pleasures wait below,
That holly decks the Christmas hall,
And mistletoe like pearl drops CLEANS,
Upon the wreath-encircled wall.
know that happy ones are there
Whose laughter rings QUIT clear and free,
| That merry childhood's sweetest tones
Sing round the magierladen tree.
Oh, joy for them that they can feel
| This night the Iule-log's glowing blaze,
Or taste the cheer Of wassail-bowl,
| As thou hast done in other days.
! Can faithful hearts fergetful prove,
| Brings back this Ghristmas-eye no though
OF others shared with him, beyond
| Our joys shortrliyed and sorrow fraught?
| Who keeps with me this starry watch,
| Whose vigils lead them far apart
From life and love, to give one hour
| To silent tenants OF the nearts

The Fire Engine Test.

The competitive trial of steam fire en-
gines, invited by the city: under pro-
posals to purchase one first class machine,
announced for Wednesday next, the 10Th,
has been postponed at the request of the
Lafrance Engine Manufacturing COM
pany, which was unable to complete its
machine and get 1t here in time. The
Silsby machine has been here more than a
week, and the company we're ready to
proceed with the trial upon the day set
but upon being informed of the desire OF
the Lafrance company, cheerfully acqui-
esced in the postponement, only asking
that they might be informed by telegraph
when the trial would take place, in time
for their own men, whom they desire to
handle the machine in the trial, to reach
st. Paul without unnecessary loss of time.
These two companies are the only ones
who have responded to the invitation to
enter machine in the competition, and
it is pretty certain the trial will be con-
fined to these two
