Thomas ]. Penn and the cases OF the
parties indicted by the December grand
Jury for spiritng away the witnesses in
the Penn case, are set for n hearing
IT is a hard matter to say at this writing
what the result Will be, and there is no
speculation as to the result The wit
nesscs are still away, anl nothing IA
known Of them, neither can anything be
heard of them. Sometimes there IS n re-
port they are at this or that place. an
Investigation is made, and the result is
that the officers have been on a Wild
goose chase, and the game not bagged.
COLD WEATHER.
Last week and the greater portion OF
this week has furnished the coolest wea-
ther that DanYllle has experienced for
many years at this season. People have
gathered ice in town and country, and
the lovers Of the sport have had good
skating. With all Of this. but little sui
fering has been reported among the
poorer classes Of the community and
this in spite of the hard times and little
work Of the past year. And it shows
one thing. ana that Is, that people have
been more frugal with their means, and
have not squandcred them. as in past
years. They had but little and they made
that little stretch out. II the year 1874
learned the people a lesson along this
line, IT did not live In vain.
