poped some time ago would be held in

evening in the Presbyterian Church,

recommended as temperance speaker,

opportunity to hear him.
Charlie Bonner returned from his
trip to the East last week. While alb
sent he spent day or two ct Wash
ingtoD and took in the Guiteau trial.
He says the prevailing opinion in that
city is that the jury will disagree as to
the assassin's insanity, but that the
probability is that Guiteau will be
acquitted on the ground of insanity, |
and sent to the asylum for life. III
this be the case the jury must agree
that the villain was not responsible for
his actions on that memorable I'd of
July, and not able to discern the diff
ference between right and wrong, ver-
dict in which the American people will
never concur.
Some hend who is evidently
courting five or ten years term in
the PeniteDtiary, entered the school
house in the Huddleson district, ou
Morday evening Of last week, and
committed some dastardly depreda-
tions. When the teacher entered on
Tuesday morning to begin school, she
found the room in frightful condi-
ton. The villain or villains had
carried off the children's books, cut
several wall maps into pieces and de-
stroyed things in general; and before
leaving they added to the hellishness
of their deed by committing nuisance
on the floor. The perpetrators Of the
) foul act left no trace by which they
3 could be detected, except a pair of
!. scissors, which Mr.. Geo. Haslet of this
e place indentifes as his. A few weeks
i. ago his hunting shanty which was To-
Gated in that neighborhood, was
, burned during his absence, and all the
contents either stolen or consumed.
The scissors above referred to were
among the articles missed, from which
+ it is thought the same parties com
!. mitted both outrages. P. S.-Sinct
# the above was in type boy aget
.. about IS, named Robert Harger, ha
been arrested as one OF the perpetra
tors. He had hearing yesterday
evening before Squire Brennan, anC
g was bound over to court. The prison
50 or wore new suit Of clothes whicl
- belonged to Mr.. Haslet.
o As an admonition to some of tn
= same sort of boys that one almos
j. daily sees iu the act, we quote the TO
lowing from the Franklin Press "Tw
= lads of this city, Charlie Brennan an
Edward Woodruff, we've arrested q
OF the Lake Shore depot this week, b
or Officer Barrett, for jumping on boar
er a moving train. They were taken bC
So fore Alderman Haslet and held
'r- bail for their appearance on Saturda
'm evening next. II the interest of tt
I'm BOYS themselves, and of boys gene
OF ally, we are glad to record this actio
Dis which was taken in pursuance of o
lot ders issued by the officers of the roa
"a The lads who make practice Of clar
M bering upon moving trains at the d
pots and crossings mean no harm
ate they are full of life and fun, and
for them the practice seems only fnn. B
nd heperil of death or manning of Ii
by attends every such attempt. A slig
ite miss or slip must result in fatal I'M
ion ry or in lifelong disability. 1t
for therefore mercy to the little fellO
IN. and their parents to lay the kindly
we strainiug hand of the law upon the
ma. The fact needs to be emphasized th
ing there is a law against boarding the
we moving trains, the lowest pcnelty il
ac. posed being fue of So and ten da
in jail"
