An Important Decision.

We learn from the Easton Leigr that n
decision, of considerable interest to farmers,
has been made by Judge Wickes in the circuit
court for Kent county, 1t was to the effect
that where Il farmer hires laborcr for wear
or part of year at given price per month,
and the lahorer leaves without any just rca
son before the time expires, the employer Is
not bound by law to pay the employee any
thing he may claim to be due him at the time
he quits his service. Just the opposite ofthis
has been held by the justice in that county.
The only redress the employer has had was
judgment against the laborer for damages
for violation of contract, and this is general
ly worthless. The employers account for
damages not being allowed to come in bar
against the employees action for debt, the
farmer has been obliged to pay whatever
balance he owed the laborer, Notwithstanding
the latter may have violated his contract with
ont any cause and damaged the farmer there
ny. Judge Wickes's decision will change all

THE HoRsE's BACK-The first thing to

back is concerned, is the length of it. A long

is the case with so many long backed horses.
1t is not, in any way, the result of the back

the shoulders and the position of the great
bones of the hind legs. There must be length
somewhere, or else the horse cannot stride
far, but it should be put in below and not

In these evil times Of ours, cases are
too common wherein man is driven to
desperation, resulting in death, by
woman's heartlessness. A recent case
is that of William Gobrecht, Of New
York. Mrs. Gobrecht's work was not
hard-all she had to do was to work
sufficiently to keep William. A few
days ago William made simple re-
quest of his wife, and she-heartless
creature-refused to grant it. Then
William notified her that unless she
granted his request he would do some
thing desperate, But she persisted in
her refusal. Then William went to
the cupboard and got a great big
butcher-knife, with which he slashed
himself across the wrist and throat
but failing to kill himself by this
means he got large bandana hand
kerchief, tied.it around his neck, fas-
tened it to the gas-iet, and "swung
off" This horrible suicide was the
direct result of woman's heartlessness
William had been drunk all day, and
wanted his wife to give him money
with which to buy more whisky, and
the hard-hearted woman refused
Hence the poor William, driven tc
desperation. committed hari-kari.

IT was the expressed desire of the
New York Tribune that the Cleveland
Convention ''try the case between the
President and Senator Conkling."
Has it never occurred to the Tribune
that President Garfield is man of
such ability and firmness as to pre-
clude the necessity Of the Republicans
of Ohio standing at his back and tell
ing him what to do? Is it considered
necessary, in order to make his admin
istration a success, that the Republi-

tion and take action expressive Of ap-
proval or censure with regard to Mr..
Garfeld's routine duties as PRESIDENT
The Republicans Of Ohio do not con-

HARRISON, the ''boy evangelist" has
been laboring with the heather of In
diana, and worked up a wonderful re-
ligious excitement At conference
Of Baptist Ministers in New York, on
last Thursday, Harrison and his work
was made the subject of discussion.
Rev. DIR. Potter regarded the boy as a
phenomenon. The Methodists had
reported hundreds of conversions" in
Indianapolis, under his preaching, and
everybody seemed reused to the i'm
portance Of seeking salvation.
Rev. DR.. Thomas, however, thought
differently of the young revivalist.
The young man is, according to DR..
Thomas, possessed of wonderful mag
netism, as his effect upon his hearers
is that of the mesmerist. When he
prays he folds his hands across his
forehead and does not utter a word,
and God seemed to have nothing to do
with his action.
Rev. DIR. Gessler said that Harrison's
revival work was like monkey-show,
and was a mockery Of sacred things.

No evidence was offered by the de-
fense.
The jury returned verdict of not
guilty as to the burglary, but guilty
of larceny, and assessed the value Of
the goods stolen at So. The Court re-
marked that as the defendant had been
confined in jail for some time, further
Imprisonment would be no punish
ment, and he would be ordered to pay
fine of S25 and costs, and to be i'm
prisoned one day. No order would be
made for defendant to stand commit
ted for the fine, but the Prosecuting
Attorney can at any time, when the
jail is not full, have an execution is
sued for his commitment.

Indictment for shooting at George
Montgomery with intent to kill,
and also count for shooting with in
tent to wound. Powell for the State;
John L. Jones for defense.
The evidence showed that the de-
fendant was at the house of one
Meacham, mile up the railroad from
town, after night, and he stoned the
house, and shot at George Mont
gomery, son-in-law Of Meacham.
Montgomery was standing in the door
at the time, and the ball struck the
house foot or two from the place
where Montgomery stood. There
was conflicting evidence, and the case
was left in much doubt, and the jury
returned verdict Of not guilty.
On Monday afternoon Judge Trip
remarked that the docket was getting
so full of verdicts and pleas of guilty,
that the cases must be disposed of, or
he would forget about the cases. The
following sentences were then passed:
William Ward, keeping a room, &c.,
SS5; Louis Holberg, S75; Castor, $S5
VIM. Ryan S75; Shusky 800; Same,
S75; John Crossin, SS5; Hugh
Crossin, $50; Castor, $50; Same, $40;
Charles Williams, $50.
VIM. Ward, Louis Holberg and
Charles Shusky came forward and
testified that they have quit illegal
sales, and no order was made to shut
up their rooms; but the Judge re-
marked that if they were again
brought up for the same offense, this
promise to quit would be remembered
in assessing the penalties.

MUCH has been said about Hayes
backbone" All remarks about back
bone were out of place. 1t is Hayes
cheek which assumes colossal proper
tions. He recently engaged in some
foolish remarks about Conkling, and
some newspapers printed the silly
stuff. Now Mr.. Hayes climbs up on
top Of the disgusting heap Of Star
Route corruption, and in his feeble
way attempts to blackguard Blaine.
Mr.. Hayes evidently prefers Southern
Greeks to Northern Republicans.
The exposures now being made by
Postmaster-General James should
cause Mr.. Hayes to act with becoming
modesty. This country tried four
years Of ''iberal reform government
under him. Who can say that the
country would like to try another
such experiment?

ONE thing we would like to know.
If Conkling is as effectually and COM
pletely dead and damned, politically
as the half breeds claim that he is,
why do they continue to cavort, and
snort, and howl, and fill their papers
with abuse Of the dead statesman !?

lion; but is it not about time that

To the Editor of the Standard.
You will please say, that as far as the
Commissioners are concerned, the facts
in regard to the recent jail delivery are
simply these:
The Sheriff was directed to give the
prisoners razor, with the understanding
of course that he take it back, according
to the custom of his predecessors, as soon
as they had shaved.
In the face of these facts then, your
article in last weeks STANDARD reflect
ing on the Commissioners, is unjust, and
the remarks of Judge Tripp, on the bench,
concerning the amending of the Jail Re-
port, are somewhat reckless ifnot extrav-
agant.
