AID boys than 20 cropping through the
world with no idea at ell? Yes, but says
another you entirely ignore the tariff. a
man says that because he don't know any
better. A mule often means well and a
mule is not bad at heart, but you cannot
reason with a mule. All he can do is to
lay back his ears and kick. Now that man
means well enough, but he is ignorant
about it. that's all, and his political igno-
rance makes his prejudice.
The speaker believed the country would
not be safe in the hands Of such men. He
dwelt at length upon the present system of
taxation and said the poor man should
have a world wide market in which to buy
his coat and blanket without having to
pay from fifty to eighty per cent. tariff on
them for the enjoyment Of the privilege.
By an unnecessary and outrageously high
system Of taxation, one hundred and three
millions of dollars has been wrung from
the pockets Of the people Of this country.
Now the question is, how are we going to
get that back? Now, there is practically
no difference, he said, in the tariff ques-
ton, but it is only a scramble for the pub
lie Offices. Toward the close of his adj
dress the speaker depicted the evils arising
from the liquor traffic ir IN impressive
manner. His address was well received,
and has been the subject of much fayora-
bic comment.

force in the accomplishment Of his purpose.
The jury rendered a verdict Of guilty Of
simple assault.
The trial of indictments found at the
present term then commenced in the case
of the State VS.. George Parker, colored,
against whom three indictments for assault
and battery were found. The assaults were
committed on Mary Donlon, Nellie Rear
don and Harris Wallen, during a drunken
riot that took place in the vicinity Of the
quart places in Claysville on the night Of
June 30th last. ]. T. Sinnickson defend
ed the prisoner and the jury returned a
verdict Of guilty on ali three indictments.
The case of the State vs.. Thomas Henry,
colored, on two indictments, for assault
and battery on Mary Donion and Nellie
Reardon was then called. The assault was
committed on the night of June Both, in
Claysville. J. +. Sinnickson defended the
prisoner. The jury rendered q verdict of
guilty on both indictments.
The case Of the State VS.. John Donlon
and Thomas Sullivan, for assault was then
called. This case was a continuance Of
the cases growing out Of the riot in Clays-
vile on June Both. As Thomas Sullivan
had not been apprehended by the court,
the indictment against Donlon, for assault
on Mary Henry, colored, by hitting her
with a beer bottle, was tried. ]. w. Acton
appeared for the defendant. The jury ae-
quilted Donlon.
The next case was that of the State
against five colored youths, for participa-
ting in the riot at Claysville on this same
June Both. The case was on trial when
our reporter left yesterday afternoon.
The Grand Jury brought in a bill Of in
dictment against Clinton Robinson, Of
Woodstown. for Illegal sale of liquors,
selling on Sunday and selling to minors.
An effort will be made to have the trial Of
this case postponed until next term of
court.
Indictments were also found against
Samuel Jones, indecent assault; John Har-
kins, assault and battery; - Brown,
larceny and others.
The probabilities are that it will be
necessary to hold an adjourned term of
court to dispose of unfinished business and
to hear argument III the application of a
new trial for Michael Whalen, in case
Judge Reed shall decide that such argu-
ment shall be made.

Serious Accident.

Last Monday a boy drove into Harrison
vile at a rapid gait and stopped at the
residence of DR.. Stranger. He lost no time
in mounting the porch to call the doctor,
but seemed to be too badly frightened or
excited to accomplish his purpose. A man
standing on the opposite side of the street
noticed the lads frantic efforts to call
some one to the door, and told him to ring
the bell. The excited messenger then
clutched at a thermometer to ring the
bell. The doctor was wanted at the farm
of Howard Casseday, who had been kicked
by a mule. Just how the accident hap
pened nobody but Howard knows. Mr..
Casseday, with two of his men were work
ing out in the field, but were not together.
Mr.. Casseday, while changing a pair of
mules from the plow to the wagon, receiv-
ed in some manner a powerful kick from
one of the animals directly in the face.
The hired mems attention was called to-
ward Mr.. Casseday by his cries for help.
They were shocked upon reaching the
scene at finding Mr.. Casseday lying upon
his back, the blood gushing from his
mouth and nose and his face horribly cut.
The upper and lower jaws were broken,
his teeth knocked out and face badly
mangled by the iron shod foot of the vi
cious mule. The unfortunate man is do
ing as well as can be expected and his
physician thinks he will come around all
right if he does not contract a cold in the
wound. lie is unable to talk and can take
but very little nourishment at a time, ow-
ing to the swollen condition of the jaws
and other parts.

No Fakirs and al Doylestown

The action of the managers of the
Fair lately held at Doylestown, Pa,
respecting the admission of gambling
thieves and fakirs upon their grounds, is
commended by all good minded persons.
A dispatch from there on the Sd inst. said:
When the gates opened yesterday morn
ing an aggressive crowd of fakirs were on
hand. They waited to pay high tribute
for the privilege of setting up their sweat
boards, wheels of fortune, thimble-rigging
outfits, bogus jewelry stands and prize
soap booths, but they were turned away.
The board of managers have decided to
keep Doylestown Fair clean, and President
J. NJ. Shellenbe-ger told the gang that
neither gambling nor liquor selling would
be permitted on the fair grounds.
Two %well-known pickpockets who had
the assurance to come into the grounds as
fakirs were picked out by Detective John
F. Sharkey and were shipped out of the
town on the first train. The skin gam
blers soon followed and the thousands at
the fair had a good time without being rob
bed. Everybody praised the new depart
ure. Only four drunken men were found
and they were given back their money and
put out of the park.

sweet POTATOES.

The following mode of keeping sweet
potatoes has proven about as good as any
Take large dry goods boxes and line the
same with three thicknesses of newspaper,
FASTING them one upon the other SO as to
make the boxes alright, and place them
upstairs where the heat will not affect
them. Then as soon as the potatoes are
drug wrap each one in a piece of paper,
and twisting The ends of the paper close
about each end of the potato, pack them
in the boxes closely, and when the weather
gets very cold cover the boxes over care
fully with pieces of old carpet, removing
the same occasionally when the weather is
warm. In the spring remove all the cov-
erings. By this method sweet potatoes
may be kept perfectly secure most of the
year.
