Sheer Improvement.

The recent offer of the Massachusetts
society for the promotion of agriculture
to furnish at merely nominal price
rams of improved breeds to farmers in
the state interested in sheep husbandry.
brought out great many applications
from all parts of the commonwealth. AS
result, the society will import about
forty rams OF different breeds, which can
not fail to have considerable influence in
improving the focks. This may also
lead to renewed interest in the sheen
business. 1t viii also promote desire
for improvement among sheep owners
that cannot fail to be of great benefit.

BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
MoNDAY.-In the case of John Archibald, indict-
ed at this term for assault upon his wife with an
intent to kill, armed with dangerous weapon. it
will be remembered that the allegation as to the
dangerous weapon was mol pressed and the rspond-
ent pleaded guilty In the afternoon the respondent
was brought up for sentence. After statement of
the facts of the case by County Attorney Coombs,
Elliot King counsel for the respondent, offered the
testimony of witnesses tending to show that Arch-
bald suffered from sunstroke several years ago
and that combined with the whiskey imbbed on
the night before the assault rendered the defendant
totally unconscious of this assault. And while the
counsel did not claim that drunkenness was any ex
cuse for the overt act, still, he claimed that IL
should go in mitigation of sentence. Archibald tes-
titled that after drinking in saloon down on Fore
street the night before the assault he remembered
nothing until the next day, when he awoke in the
country four miles from Portland; that the irst
knowledge he had of what he had done was from
the paper which he saw at Yarmouth; that when he
saw by the papers that his wife was getting better
he was at Berlin, N H., and Immediately thereaf-
ter began to work his way back to Portland but at
Norway he was arrested.
Marshal Bridges testified that upon his arrival in
the city after his arrest Archibald told him that he
struck her. but didn't know why he did it. In an
swer to questlon py tne marsnai why no ioii away
he said he was afraid he had killed her.
After the hearing ARCHIBALD was sentenced to i'm
prisonment in the State prison for five years.

Nathans' Circus.

Nathans' circus exhibited Oh the Western
Promenade yesterday afternoon and evening
to small audience at the first entertainment
and a better at the second The company is
small and is more of a variety show than cir
Gus In the afternoon there was but little rid
ing, and that was confined to a man and boy.
The riding was poor, but this may have been
due as much to the horses as the performers,
for the rain bad made the track slippery. The
acrobatic acts were excellent, among the best
that have been seen here, and the ponies and
dogs were all that could be desired. There was
some fair trapeze business, and quite supple
contortionist, but very much better actors in
these lines of business have visited the city.
Nathans' drunken act was like some wine,
very good and very old.
There is one feature that is made great
deal of on the posters which is a fraud and an
outrage. 1t may not be SO intended by the
management, and probably is not, but the fact
remains that it is. 1t is an outrage in its at
tempt to make capital out of a crime against
which the whole civilized world revolted; the
assassination of our beloved President. Tt is
a fraud in that the attempt is in the form Of a
set of wax figures arranged in box wagon
and placed in the tent with the cages Of ami
mails, instead of scene in real life. The
sooner the management discards this feature ol
the show the sooner they will commend them
selves to all decent citizens.
