AFTER BOUR MONTHS.
S"hn Woods, the jug Taver,

J"hn Woods, the Jug Tavern
Keeper, Released From Jail.
John Woods, who was arrested in Mid.
dletown last fall for selling liquor in
Blaokbird forest without the payment of
q special tax and sentenced to four
months in jsil, 800 fine aud costs in
December, was released from custody
Monday morning. Woods WAS brought
before.Clerk.of the Court. Smith Monday
and upon pleading to the pauper's act,
Was released without the payment of the
fine aud costs. After his release District
Attorney Patterson gave the prisoner
some good advice, which the latter prom
ised to profit by. He held that his
trouble and bad reputation about his
home WAS the result of bad assoc ates,
whom he promised to shun in the future.
He had some property at the time Of his
arrest which has since been seized, and
the released prisoner is row homeless.
His prison life greatly improved his ap-
pesrance and he is much stouter, less
bloated and more genteel looking than
when arrested.
When placed on trial Woods pleaded
guilty, in consideration of which the late
Judge Bradford made his sentence oom.
paratively light. He was the Last man
upon whom Judge Bradford passed
sentence which was among the last
official acts of his life. Woods spoke
kindly and feelingly of the dead jurist
and pathetioally concluded MAY God
keep him for his kindness to me - The
prisoner will go to his former home in
Kent county, Md, and says he
will make his del veritsble paradise
for his family. 1t is known, however,
that he still holds an Ill will towards his
former patrons who furnished evidence
against him and some of these are in
terror least he revenges himself violently
upon them.

MIDDLBTowY, March II One of the
oldest citizens and most successful
farmers gives the GAzErTE's oorrespon-
dent the following as his predictions for
the coming season 81 have never
known It to fail when We have had
q winter such as has been the past, that
wheat did not make rapid growth for q
short period and then apparently come
to a standstill, head perfectly and have
large perfect grains, but must bs
harvested early or it will fall
as the straw ia weak and
poor. The corn crop will bs nothing !;
it will dry mp almost as soon as ii ehoot ,
the ear and fodder being in most In.
stances utterly worthless, and at times
the corn stalks will not exceed s feet in
hight. Wy plan is to hold my wheat
and not sell too early in such years, and
1t always pays me. Farmers can make a
note OF this and be convinced" This
gentleman slso informs your correspon-
dent that the first hay harvest will bs
immense, while she second cutting will
amount to nothing.
