Brockway lea T..

The Eleventh annual meeting of
the Brockway District Agricultural
Society was held at their grounds in
the village of Brockway on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday last.
The exhibits were all good, compass
ing some of the finest bred stock in
the country. The exhibits OF wag-
ons, carriages and buggies were very
large. VIM Harris, of Brockway
had very fine display. The floral
hall was not very well filed neither
was the vegetable hall but as we
said before all the exhibits were
good. The attendance was very
small on last two days. We would
be pleased to see the Old Brockway
and Rrockway Centre Societies com
bine and have one great big fair.
This we are certain could be done
and make a grand success of it.

Marine Biological Association of the
United Kingdom have invited contIibu-
tons for establishing on the south coast
of England laboratory similar to the
geological Station Of Naples and the
American Laboratories of Newport and
Chesapeake, the institution being intend
ed for the use of naturalists wishing to
investigate marine life, animal and vege-
table, and to study the various conditions
affecting the welfare of British food fishes
aud molusks. 1t is thong ht that $780,
900 will be required to establish the lab
oratory, and that an income of $500 a
year will be necessary to maintain it.
1t has lately been suggested that
America should have a meteorologi, al
society for advancing weather science.
Such an association fourishese in Eng

GUILTY AS CHARGED,
The Jury Finds Louis A. Knott Gull
ty Of Murder In the First Degree.

The trial of Louis A. Knott for the
murder of William T. Higgins, familarly
known as Tom. Higgins, was commenced
in the district court in this city last Sat
urday morning. G. s. Voorhees,, county
attorney, assisted by W. II. Doolittle and
f. II. and G. X. Sullivan, conducted the
prosecution, and Mcssrs. W. A. Inman,
j. B. Allen and d. J. Crowley appeared
for the defense. No great difficulty was
experienced in getting jury and the ex-
animation of witnesses was commenced
on Saturday morning and continued until
Monday afternoon, when the opening
argument for the prosecution was made
by W. II. Doolittle he was followed the
same evening by W. A. Inman for the
defense. On Tuesday morning J. B.
Allen continued the argument for the de-
Tense and was followed in the afternoon
by NJ. G. S. Voorhees, in the closing ar.
gument for the prosecution. After Mr..
Voorhees, argument Judge Wingard
charged the jury and they retired, re-
naming out about an hour aud half,
and bringing in verdict of murder in
the first degree. A Gazette reporter sat
very close to Knott when the verdict was
read, but the closest scrutiny failed to
detect the slightest evidence Of concern
on his countenance. He simply remarked
to one Of his attorneys, ats id hard
fbr man to suffer for somebody else s
crime The evidence was substantially
the same as published in this paper at
the time of the examination, the only new
features being the testimony of man
who had heard shots in the direction Of
Higgins house on the afternoon of the
murder and saw Knott coming away from
the house. The letters written by Knott
while in Jail and mailed by Yates at Pen
dleton were also introduced and pronounc-
cd by experts to DO written by one and
the same man.
Considering the circumstances, the
attorneys for the defense made splendid
effort, but they were checkmated at every
point by facts and skill of the prosecution.
Under the evidence the jury could not
have returned another verdict, and unless
suicide cheats the hangman, Louis A.
Knott will pay the penalty of his awful
crime on the gallows. The first and
second act Of the blood curdling tragedy
have been performed and the curtain will
drop on the third act when the execution
er sends Louis A. Knott to meet his VIC
tim and his maker Collar Gazette.
Knott was sentenced to be hung on the
2lst of July next.

IN REPLY.

The remarks of the TINES con-
corning Mr.. Wells Of Richland,
called forth quite number OF edi-
torial remarks. The greater num-
Der of the papers that take the mat
ter up, make it the occasion for a
dissertation on the Lottery, and
simply use Mr.. Wells as preface,
which is appropriate enough.
But the TINES does not propose
to engage in Lottery controversy.
Any editor who 80 chooses, is per-
fectly welcome, so far as the TINES
is concerned, to exhaust his vitu-
perative epithets in abuse of the
Lottery; on the other hand, any
one who feels like defending that
institution, can always find every
facility for doing so.
The TIMES has not found faul'
with Mr.. Wells because he opposed
the Lottery but because he opposed
it on the ground that Lotteries ar
wicked and immoral, and thel
amblcd gaily to the front and vote'
to establish another one. Thi
phase of the question is passe'
lightly over by the participants il
this fray, yet this is the very, pan
Eticular point raised, and that poin
the TIMES stands prepared to main
tain, against any and all corners.

A SPECIAL LEvEE TAX.

A petition asking the Police Jury
to levy a special tax OF five mills
on the dollar, for levee purposes,
has not met with the response that
could properly have been expected
from a community that prides itself
on its intelligence. In only two
neighborhoods was there any in
terest shown, and the matter was on
the point of being abandoned when
it was suggested that tho subject
could not have been understood or
the petition would have been signed
freely.
The money raised on such tax
for the specified purpose, could not
be used for any other purpose.
There is not tho slightest POSSIBLE
ity of there being any left over.
| Ten times the amount raised could
be profitably spent on the levees,
and still more could be used to adj
vantage, and that fear can be laid
. safely aside. The money raised will
surely be used on levees, and on
nothing else.
No, it is q clear case OF croal
} nothing more. The excuse is, w
!. are too poor, We have been over
). flowed and lost so much that VI
c can't afford to be taxed. Hav'
n the gentlemen using such childish
c arguments, ever reflected tina
C unless the levees are repaired, the,
\ will grow poorer and poore
o as the years roll on, when by bein
: taxed trifle more they can be pre-
t tected from water, and be placed i
8 such condition that they can eas
y lily pay the tax? With the levee
n down they will soon be in cond
:. ton to pay nothing. 1t is a savin
y at the spiggot and wasting at bune
d hole, TO not have this tax levied.
u In shining contrast to the apath
o in regard to this tax, is the col
? spicuous alacrity to have tn
II bridges of the parish built at III
e expense of the parish. There
1. one section of the parish that hay
2 with the most admirable promp
1t ness made their estimates for Il
N cost Of repairing the bridges
