will find him a most agreeable gen

obstruct the course of justice. Jurors
and witnesses will have to be prompt
in attendance and as to criminals
we would rather be found not guilty
than otherwise, if tried before him.
Withal he is gentlemanly, a strict con-
structionist of the law, and evinces
the utmost desire to do right.
Keystone.-It is said that last
Sunday was a very busy day in Belle

dozen converts in the pure crystal
waters of Wood river; the Methodists
held service; the salvation army had

meetings enterfere with their business,

discovery of gold in 1860 she had
