most of the prominent people of our district
The hall was densely packed. Jas. Bowers,
Grand Lecturer of the Grand Lodge OF Mary
land, took part in the ceremonies. After the
installation Rev Thomas NJ. Brown, the tai
ented minister of the NJ. E. Church South,
delivered an eloquent lecture, when at its close
the vast assembage repaired to the spacious
room below, where they partOok of an elegant
repast, prepared especially for them by the
Lodge. Everyone enjoyed themselves, for
mirth and merriment reigned supreme around
the festive board.
The holiday season was an unusually quiet
one here, excepting the accidents already re-
ported. We have but one other to note /:
We saw youngman with his nose badly
skinned, and were credibly informed that
he fell out of a Christmas tree. Now we
have never trusted ourselves to climb Christ
mas tree, being always content to sit still and
see it 90 around the room in circus style,
rather than venture among its loaded branches.
Thomas Thompson, son of Mr.. John Thomp-
son, of this place, has just returned home,
after an absence of five years in the U. S. cav
airy service. He had reached the position in
his company of orderly sergeant, and looks
every inch the soldier. He gave ball to his
friends on New Years night in the hall at
Sykesville, which was well attended and an
enjoyable affair.
Wade H. Warfeld, who is attending mil
itary school near Staunton, Va, has been
spending the holidays at home, and looks very
soldierly in his uniform of grey.
Two of the "Marble Hearts went to Refs
terstown this week to have their pictures

The year of 1883 promises us some new
ventures in business here. Asa Hefner will
engage in general merchandising with Mr.

Tho Lotus Club Supper.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate.
The Lotus Club, of this city, held its annual
reunion supper al the Montour House, New
Years night, at 10 o'clock. The members
nearly all attended and pronounced the sup
per a success. Oysters were served i'll various
styles, especially to the President and Treas
urer, who called and recalled for them, fried,
stewed, raw, &C., and dispatched everything
with wonderful alacrity. The former, being
a printer, will take in anything offered, and
the latter, a hardware merchant, with cast iron
stomach, can digest anything and all things
taken in. The Club is social in its principles
and its meeting room contains many things to
attract and please young men. May the Club
long live and eat many annual suppers.

Acauittal of John e. Denison.

The trial of John K. Denison, charged with
conspiracy with Samuel d. Miller to defraud
Peter j. Yost, terminated last Saturday after
noon with verdict of acquittal. Our last
report closed with the close of the testimony,
Friday noon. The argument was opened
for the state by Col. VIM; ?. Maulsby, fol-
lowed by Hon. Charles B. Roberts. James
A. C. Bond, ESQ.,, opened for the defense,
and was followed by Judge Hayden. D. N.
Henning, Esq, closed for the prosecution.
The argument was finished about 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, and the court, Hon. |.
Thomas Jones presiding, delivered the
verdict.
Judge Jones said the courts conclusions
in this case rested upon grounds which, to
the court, had presented difficulty in the
early stages of the proofs, as indicated in
some of the early rulings that assuming that
the state had shown conspiracy or collision
between the indicted parties, yet it was not
sufficient in this case to show that there had
been a conspiracy, but they must show that
the traverser was guilty of the particular con-
spiracy charged in the Indictment, and that
it was conceived and set on foot for the par
ticular object laid in the Indictment. Here
the traverser was charged in all the counts
of the Indictment with conspiracy, &C., to
cheat and defraud particular individual, to-
wit Philip J. Yost, but the evidence showed
that so far from the alleged conspiracy hav-
ing been set on foot for the particular pur-
pose to cheat Yost by the means described in
the indictment, the same means were at the
same time employed as to other parties, thus
disproving the particular intent alleged in
the Indictment, and rather going to show a
general intent to cheat, which had not been
charged in the indictment. That the court
must apply the evidence in the cause to the
pleadings and the issues made by the plead
ings, and in the state of proof in this case it
was impossible to convict the traverser under
the indictment. This, the court thought,
necessarily resulted from the known princi-
pies of criminal pleadings and evidence, but,
i'll addition to this, was susceptible OF direct
and express authority. There were several
cases, said the court, applicable, but the case
exactly in point was the case OF the Common,
wealth VS.. Harley, &C., Metcalf Mass.
Reports. The facts of this case were re,
hearsed by the court, and the pleadings and
proofs explained, as also the points of the de-
cision given, for the purpose of showing how
exactly parallel it was with the case at bar.
and how fully it sustained the views of the
court in regard to the case under considera
ton. The court could only try the case be-
fore it, and thought it unnecessary to express
any opinion as to the effect of the states
proofs further than they had application tc
| the present Indictment, and did not mean tC
express any, other than that the charges as
laid against the traverser were not sustained
by the proofs offered, and he must, therefore
be acquitted A verdict of mot guilty. was
then directed to be entered, and court finally
adjourned.

The festive season is now over, and as far
mers have again turned their attention to
business, we think it not out of place to give
the farmers creed:
Let this be the farmers creed:
For stock pick out the finest breed
In peace and plenty let them feed
Your land sow with the best of Seed
Let it not manure nor dressing need;
Inclose, plough, reap with care and speed /;
And you will soon be rich indeed.
The oyster supper and festival held by the
Snydersburg Cornet Band, was a success, re-
alizing an amount sufficient to hquidate all
debts.
