| HARTLAND.-Our correspondent writes,
May 81: The past week has been one of COM
motion. Several justice trials have given the
loafng public an opportunity to get posted on
criminal law, besides furnishing an abun-
dance of fun. The first trial was occasioned
| by certain Corsons, of Athens, Ia noted race
in the law courts,) obstructing an officer in
the service of a writ of attachment. All of
them were bound over in the sum Of 5000
esch to appear at the s. J Court. to be hold
en- at Skowhegan in September next. The
last trial of the week is not finished. it begins
again on Monday. The charge 10 for stealing
and it il the second time the young man has
been tried for the same offence. His SEN
tence this time will not be short one for
the reason he will have to go to Jail until the
September term, being unable TO furnish
bail. Our railroad will soon be completed
and then we hope that such culprits as these
just mentioned will have desire to ride out
of town never to return. We will give them
a hearty goodby.
