Tho Decision in the Shook Case.

The case in which Jno. r. Shook Esq, was
charged with an assault upon Mr.. Peters, OF
the Alamo ice. company, terminated IN verdict
of acuuital. The case excited considerable
interest because of the extensive acquaintance
ship of Mr. Shook.
The facts as developed before the jury were
simply that Mr.. Shocks son, lad of twelve
years of age, in delicate health, went to the
ice factory with Dr. Amos Graves son Tor ice.
Mr.. Peters, being in a bad humor, got into
controversy with the boys, and very roughly
put young Shook out of the house. MIR.
Shook, hearing of the occurrence, called at
The ice factory for an explanation, and during
the conversation Peters made move towards
Mr.. Shook, which S. promptly met with
blow from whip he had in his hand, while
sitting in his buggy. Peters was knocked
down, and it seems the affair ended tor the
time being. When, after some weeks had ex-
pred, Mr.. Peters brought suit for $4,000
damages, and also a complaint for an as
sault.
The assault case has been tried with the re-
suit above stated, and it is believed will settle
the damage suit.
The community at large coincide with the
jury in their verdict.
1t is dangerous business to attempt to lay
hands upon another mans child, and we hope
the lesson taught Peters will not be lost upon
the community.

The Ditch Cleaning Nuisance.

The editor of the LIGHT has suffered one
death in his family directly traceable to the
ditch cleaning nuisance; and at present one OF
his children is dangerously i'll, we believe
from malarial fever, caused by the cleaning OF
the public ditch running in front OF his resi-
dence.
For over week the filthy mud taken from
this ditch has been allowed to remain upon
the street, sweltering in the sun and throwing
off its stencil upon every breeze that blows.
Now, the excuse is, that there are not the
means at hand to remove this mud; then why
do they take it out Of the ditch where II Is
harmless, being purified every moment by the
running water.
But this is poor excuse. Since thiS oi'eh
was cleaned we have not seen one ofhcer OF
the city in the neighborhood, while you can
see the city carts loaing about the plazaS ana
Commerce street all day long, picking up
trash spoonful at time.
The jewellers on Commerce street are a
hardy set of mossbacks, as rule, who are al
ways fortified against the effects OF malaria;
and even if an occasional funeral took place
the city would not suffer; but the children, the
sucking babes, are worth saving, for in them
there lies the future hope of our city, hope
that will exclude the mean selfishnesS that has
characterized the policy of our city manage
ment. The selfishness that is willing to risk
the lives of the rising generation rather than
spend enough money to make our city clean'
decent city.

The Beethoven M.ennerchor Concert.

Good music is at all times acceptable, but
more so when it is we'll rendered. For both
reasons we were we'll pleased by the Beet
hOven Maennerchor, given at the Casino last
evening, and regretted that the society were
not better supported. The concert was given
especially for the benefit and introduction OF
Herr Baethge, a violinist Of the first order. He
performed three solos on the violin, Souvenir
de Bellini," ''the 18th Air de Beriot," and
"Mendelsohn'S Minor Concerto, in all OF
which he was most successful and well APP
plauded. His notes were in all cases full,
distinct and clear, showing that he was a
thorough musician as we'll as an able instru.
mentalst. Mr.. Baethge was admirably &C,
companied on The piano by Mr.. Lager, whose
reputation as an excellent pianist is too wei
known to need comment. The vocal portion
of the programme was sustained by Professor
Halbedle, Captain Karber, Mr. II. Mueller
and the Beethoven Maennerchor, and each r
their respective parts did excellent service
Messrs. Rechel and Lager deserve grea
commentator for the excellent way in which
they performed the overtures. On the whole
the concert was thoroughly enjoyable, and W,
hope to see a more frequent performance O
such classical music.

mercifully over the head, inhicting serious in
jury. He was fined SIS.
The fine is high, but it is well deserved,
| and we should like to see the law put more
stringently in force. In our daily walks we
see many instances of cruelty which We think
should be taken up by the police. We have
no sympathy whatever with such cruelty, nor
can we entertain a high opinion of the char
acter of any man who Mould wantonly ill-treat

No More Gate SagRing.

1eunantosn TELEGRAPH,
Some years ago our attention was
invited TO what was considered as an
inevitable and reine,liless evil Of the
sagging Of farm-gates, and the ques-
tion was repeatedly put II farmers
were forever TO submit to these i'm
perfect means of entrance To their
fields, barnyards, ETC.? Our reply
was that the time-honored "barsn
must be again adopted, for all things
considered, they were decidedly TO ke
preferred To these sagging gates.
What, indeed, is more annoying, than
sagging gate? IT is forever out Of
order. 1t may be stifcned up one
day, and the next it will begin again
TO droop and in little while TO drag
again, and away goes hinge, aud
this costs time and money 10 repair.
There has lately been, however, q
substitute introduced for the farm
gate, which is more efficient and con
venicnt, and which requires no hinges,
chains, clasps, or q gate post. IL is
simply a panncl Of fence made OF inch
boards say four slabs six 10 eight
inches wide, nailed together by cross
pieces OF the same, the cross.pieces
commencing about one foot from each
end. At the back end OF the uanncl
two undfcsscd common fcnce-posts
are set, one, the ride on which the
gate is TO open, about an inch and
a half farther back, and the post to
be only about tie same distance
apart. From one post 10 the other
suitable supports arc nailed. on which
this end of the panel is TO rest and
move. At the head Of the panncl an
ordinary icnce-pCsl is set, the holes
corresponding to the end Of tie
slabs III the panel, which can. if nee
cssary, he reduced little in width
and the four are to fit in the holes Of

This panel can bc moved easily

good aS gatc--has no posts TO sag
no hinges to rust aud break. or any
iron appliances in the way of fast
