 James Pcndergast, of Canaan Valley was tried before Justice Roberts on Thursday last for his share ir stopping William Finckle on the high way, as reported last week. Dietlen, who was fined last week for his part in affair, testified against Pendergast. The Justice found Pendergast guilty and imposed fined of $500 and the costs, amour ting to s14. Pendergass gave notice through his counsel that he ap- pealed to the Superior court. Bail pending appeal was fixed at s100. Wm. F. Hurlbert, of Winsted, for state; J. Henry Roraback for prisoner. On Monday Fred Shores, of Csnaau Valley, was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of S1. and about SIT costs byJ l Roberts for his share in the same unpleasantness.

Henry Rora- back promptly moved for his discharge on the ground that he was privileged from arrest while attending court on a subpoena. The justice granted the mo- tion.
 The bicycle of 9 years ago weighed over 125 pounds, and had spokes almost as thick as those of buggy wheel. D. l. Peirce may be thankful that Samuel Camp was not riding that make of wheel the 11th inst when "Sam" knocked him down with the bicycle. By the way, that incident was a knock down argument in favor of prohibiting the use of bicycles on the sidewalks. But on Monday of this week MT Peirce was facetiously informed that the acci- dent would not have occurred were he also riding bicycle. That was a knock down argument in favor of bi- cycles. MT Peirce could easily learn to ride wheel. We hope he will, and thus be ooy again and take solid com fort. Now Daniel. buy either Colum- bia, Hartford or Crawford and you will not regret it. All the old boys, and some of the old girls, are buying wheels. | There is but little to add to the Memorial Day program as published in the NEWS of April 26 Bear in mind that David s.
