State VS.. Thomas Moore County At.
torney for State, Whitehouse and Fisher
for defendant. Indictment for maintain
ing common nuisance in Sidney. The
government testimony went to show that
the defendant used his house Us a resort
for gambling and cider drinking. Young
men who were in the habit of going there
played high low jack for cigars and other
articles of merchandise as the stakes
which they exchanged with the respond
ent for cider which they drank TN the
premises. 1t also appeared in testimony
that this was done Sundays rs we'll as
week days. The defendant substantially
admitted the claims of the government
but said he didn't know there was any
wrong in it. A verdict of guilty was
reached at noon. No case was obtained
for afternoon aud the jury We're excused
until morning.
Great interest is aroused among the
high schools of the State as the outcome
of the meeting of the executive committee
of the NJ. I. S. A. A., which will be held
in this city next Saturday. The place of
holding the annual field day which takes
place the second Saturday in June, will
be decided, and several amendments to
the bylaws Of the association will be con-
sidered. The amendment to the consti-
tuition giving Bowdoin college absolute
control of the foot ball championship
games for 1895 will BIO killed. and the
matter vested in representatives from
Bowdoin, Colby, Bates and Maine State
colleges. Augusta will probably be chosen
as the place of the meet on account of its
central location.

Tho Dublin lsroPne,

Frances Power Cobbe, in her "Life,"
gives amusing illustrations of the Dub
lin brogue in which Irish Protestant
clergymen, educated at Trinity college,
used to preach fifty years ago. One,
concluding sermon on the "Fear of
Death" exclaimed: "Me brethren, the
doying Christian lepps into the arrums
of death, and makes his hollow jaws
ring with eternal hallelujahs!" There
was chapter in the Acts which Miss
Cobbe dreaded to hear read by GER
tain clergyman, SO difficult was it to
help laughing when told of 'Pertheans

potemia and the part of Libya about Cy-
raine, streengers of Roum, Jews, Pros

Old John BROWN.

Washington Post: An eye witness of
the execution of old John Brown, who
commanded the troops drawn up around
the gallows, told me that Brown was as
intelligent and genial man as ever he
talked with so long as the subject of
slavery was not mentioned. But if that
was preached he became instantly trans
formed into almost Il raving maniac.
When brought out for execution he looked
all around at the beautiful valley Of the
Shenandoah: with the Blue Ridge in the
distance. and said: This is indeed a
beautiful country, and l do not wonder
that you people love it So As for the
story of Browns kissing negro child
on his way to the gallows. my Informant
said it was pure fiction and that no such
thing occurred
