down advance payment for THE HERALD
for another year. Mr. Barber is num-
bered among the surviving few of the
old guard. TO meet Mr.. Barber casu-

workings in his stalwart frame. Long
may he live to enjoy the beauties and
blessings Of q fine Old age.

In the case of Wilkinson VS.. Wikir-
son, involving the right of a wife to tes-
tify against her deceased husband, the
court held that she could testify, in mat
tiers not pertaining to personal transac-
tons, between husband and wife. The
court further held, to debar wife from
testifying in regard to property, claimed
in her own right, would be manifestly
unjust; and, therefore, such testimony
was admissible.

to be due to plaintiff, for four cords of
wood, furnished, on contract, to the dis
trict. From the evidence, it appeared
that, at school meeting. it was decided
to let the contract of furnishing wood, to
the lowest bidder. Doyle agreeing to
furnish it at four dollars and twenty-five
cents cord, it was decided that he
should furnish the same. The first cord
and half We're poles, which plaintiff
alleged his children had cut up. at the
school-house. The remainder of the
wood was of regulation quality. Defense
alleged that there had been much COM
plant as to the quality of the first wood
brought, although there had been but
little said after the stove and pipe had
been fixed. Plaintiff got an order from
the Treasurer, for the price of the wood,
seventeen dollars, signed by two men,
bers OF the school board, and sent it by
his son to the defendant, as Treasurer
OF the district The latter told the boy
y
to take the order to his father, and tell
him to bring it the next day, and he
would pay it, alleging, as his reason for
so doing, that he wished to find out
whether it was all right. Doyle, on
learning, from his son what Gill had
said, went, early the next morning, to
the justice, and commenced suit for the
money. Plaintiff claimed that the order
was payable on demand, out of any
money, available for that purpose, held
by the Treasurer. Defendant did not
deny that he had money on hand, to
pay the order; but simply wished to see
if it was all right; and, further, that the
district, and not defendant, personally,
was the one to sue, as he had not denied
the debt, and the district was still
debtor to that amount In answer to
the last allegation, plaintiff stood on the
provision of the statute, which provides
for personal suit against Treasurer, in
default of payment. After being out
short time, the jury returned verdict,
for the full amount claimed.

death of a young man in his prime.
The father was Mr.. Edwin johnson, of

were those of his son, who had been at
Cassville under treatment for some
weeks. The disease which afflicted him
was fatal and the best medical attend
ance could not arrest the progress of the
chill death. Mr. johnson was on his
way home with the remains, which were

THE trial of the case of the State
against Joseph jenkins and John Miles
for assault, with intent to rob, upon one
Albertis Cheever, at BoscObel the third
of last October, resulted in conviction.
The case was given to the jury with
out argument, and after being out about
twenty minutes they returned with
verdict of guilty rs charged in the in
dictment 1t was learned that the Jury
took several ballots, the vote being,
after the first ballot, eight for convic-
ton, one for acquital, one blank and
two for a lighter punishment. On the
the fifth or sixth ballot all swung
around and the verdict as given, was
agreed upon. Sentence will probably
not be passed upon jenkins and Miles
until the latter part of the term. The
penalty, according to the statutes, is
Imprisonment in the state prison for not
more than two years nor less than one.
The prisoners had been accompanied
by their wives and as the full import
of the verdict began to grow upon them
the poor creatures gave way to pitiful
weeping. Mrs. Miles is left with two
children and no support, but the author
tiles of Boscobel will see that she
does not suffer any privation and re-
ceives fully as good support rs has
been furnished in the past, by the man
who now pays the penalty of his crime.

The religious services last Sabbath
were unusually interesting. The little
congregational church held communion
S rvice, in which a spirit Of love was
strongly manifest. The communion
was preceded by sermon by Rev.
Tooker, which was a model in point and
brevity. Text This due in remem-
brance of me. In his introduction the
speaker said cable men, both in and
out of the church, arc very busy seeking
to improve on the Old Book. Let them
work. In handling it so roughly the
dear Old Book may improve some Of
them. 1t is question whether we, as
christian churches, would not all i'm
prove On our seldom communion by
doing this in memory Of Jesus every
Lord S day, as the first churches did.
That outgrowing apostolic precedent in
relative to positive ordinance is an
Improvement requiring more positive
proof than the assumption that we are
superior to them in any sense of vital
import to the great redemption work.
Let schism flourish, and doubt tremble.
Living christianity was never further
from giving it up as matter of hope
less impossibility that in every import
ant point and profoundly catholic
sense the old wine of the Old book will
be found the very best at last.
