with folio wing strong ealorsement of
Judge Fuller: ''We commend that able
lawyer, honorable gentleman, aai homes.
judge IL. G. Fuller. the present iudge o
the Judicial circuit. As a Judge he is
the true arbiter meeting ont justice with
discretion. He is a friend OF the right
and has no great epomy."

cd at length by Congressman Piokler,
from Faulkton, tho Judges home. Sec
onds were also heard from every county.
HaHd leiag roHrgseutei by County

land of Hughes county as chairman, and

loss of the White Star freight steamer
Naronic. which sailed from Liverpool for
New York. Feb. IL, and not heatd from
thereafter til, now. The Coventry reports
that on March 4, southwest of s able island.
Oft the coast of Newfoundland. she sighted
two life boats bearing the name of Naronic
keel upward. giving evidences OF having
passed through very severe storm. Ap-
pearanoes indicated that neither boat had
been long adrift. There is II chance that
the occupants were picked up bv n passing

of the sea is not doubted. but the cause of
the disaster of course il still matter OF
conjecture. 1t il thought possible judging
by the position, that the Naronio may have
struck All iceberg. though it is rather early
in the season for them to be floating in
that latitude.
