Sheep Damages.

A bill was introduced on Saturday in
the Ohio legislature,thxt provides whore
any damage is done by the killing or
wounding Of sheep, the trustees of the
township shall hold semi-annual ses-
sions on the second Monday Of April
and October each year for the purpose
of auditing and adjusting claims for
sheep killed or wounded, when such
complaints are supported by the affida-
Wits of two competent witnesses, and
they will have power to summon wit
nesses to testify as to the value Of the
sheep killed or damaged.
The amount allowed will be paid out
of the county treasury, from the fund
created for that purpose, viz: by the per
capita tax On dogs. If any surplus re-
mains after the claims have all been
paid, it shall be distributed as provided
by law.
1t appears to US that the present plan
of prosecuting claims before commits
sioners, and having them take testimo-
ny, is preferable to that proposed by the
new bill. Should township trustees
hear and determine these claims, abuses
are more likely to grow out of their ar
bitrament than by the present system.
If trustees are made the judges in these
cases between nsighbors, local influences
are apt to warp their judgments. 1t is
safer that awards, especially in this
class of claims be determined by persons
removed from local pressure,upon legal
testimony. The history of claims be-
fore the commissioners show that the
majority of sheep killed or injured by
dogs are better, and the damages greater,
than is sustained by the evidence. The
commissioners, acting judicially, are
in position to make an unbiased finding,
and, in our judgment. are more likely to
do justice both to claimants and the
treasury than would trustees.

NEwBERG, late clerk to the Ohio
State Board of Public Works, Columbus,
has had fifty-two indictments found
against him by the Grand Jury. Eigh-
teen of these are for forgery, seventeen
are for presenting false and fraudulent
certificates of Indebtedness to the Audi
tor of State, and the remaining seven
teen for having obtained money from
the State Treasury under false preten-
ses. The situation is certainly anything
but pleasant for the rapid young blood,
who so shamelessly betrayed his trust,
for if convicted on all the indictments,
his term of service cannot be less than
81 years, and may be 500.

on the Holy Evangelists, that there was
no such thing in Ohio as the Bookwal-

and says that there 1ods Literary Bu-
reau established under the auspices of
Mr.. Bookwalter; and he further deposes
that. to his personal knowledge, nearly
all of the Democratic weeklies in the
State were supplied with able editorials
prepared by Mr.. Bookwalter, or under
his direction; and, moreover. that Mr..

received and the reasons why the PEN

One letter suggests that Gen. Arthur
give me Cabinet office. Now 1 want
to say would not take any Office from
President Arthur, and under the cir
cumstances [ don't think it would be
proper that | should accept one.
Now in regard to Judge Porter l
want to say, as he is to have the closing
of the case, if he attempts to mis-
lead the Court or jury 1 and my
counsel will stop him. He came into
this case under a misapprehension on
the part Of Gen. Arthur, otherwise he
would not be in the case. He don't rep
resent the Government. He only rep
resents himself"
Judge Porter entered the Court room
shortly before the prisoner had deliver
ed himself Of this warning. After
moments delay he stepped to the open
space before the jury,and in tones which
clearly betrayed his weakened condi-
tion began the closing argument.
Said Judge Potter: "If it please your
Honor and gentlemen of the jury, in my
in6rmity, for share your fatigue, pro-
coed as best can to discharge my duty.
The nature of this duty is such that Il
should feel were almost accessory af-
ter the fact If | should fail to speak such
words as can to aid you in reaching al
proper conclusion. Thus far the trial
has practically been conducted by the
prisoner and Scoville. Every one has
been denounced at their will, and even
now | am informed / will be interrupt
ed by them BOTH"
Judge Porter briefly recited the scenes
Of disorder, the abuse and slandar to |
which every one upon the case had for
two months been subjected, "and yet"
he said. "of the three speeches which
have been made by the defense l will do
the prisoner the justice to say that his
was the least Objectionable" After
sketching the circumstances leading up |
to the crime, and painting with fervid |
language the damning wickedness Of
