sisted by much of the best talent of this
section are now arranging for high class
musical and dramatic entertainment in
Twins Opera Hall in Woodstock, on
Friday night, Dec. 4th.
This will not only be an entertainment
of the very highest order of merit, and as
ENJOYABLE and interesting as anything
our people have seen for long time, hut
is for cause that must appea! to all of
us as hardly anything else could. The
proceeds are for the purpose Of marking
and fixing up the graves of the soldiers
Of the South whe rest in our burying-
grounds, those heroes who braved the
bloody path of the battle field, the
panes of hunger. the prlvatIOns of the
camp aud the weary march through all
those long dark and bitter years of war
for our God given rights. They gave up
life itself for us, and surely we should
remember them, and with grateful hearts
give the little pittanoe required to mark
their humble grayes.
Let every old soldier, every man, wo-
man AID child attend this entertainment
and thus help the ladies in their unselfisb
labor of love.

Court Proceedinas.


Commonwealth vs.. John Shower,
charged with poisoning COW. The de-
fendant was found not guilty.
Common wealth VS.. o.. Nauck. The
Jury found the prisoner guilty of grand
larceny and aseertained his term Of I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary at thre e
years.
In the case Of the Common wealth vs.
Elmer Wetherholtz for the murder of his
wife, which was tried at the August term
of the County Court of this County, re.
sulting In verdict OF murder 10 the sec
ond degree vll3I Ta' set aside
by the Court on its own motion as being
contrary to the law, the Court ordered
'nolle" to be entered. In dismlssing
this prosecution, the Court said, in sub
stance. that IN the former trial Of the
case the verdict OF the jury had been set
asi 10 because there was no evidence to
warrant he finding Of verdict for muT-
der in the second degree, the whole OF
he testimony of the Commonwealth
going to show that the crime was murder
In the first degree. The Statute provides
that where a party has been found guilty,
and verdict has been set aside, be can
never be convicted for greater crime
than that for which he has already bsen
convicted. This makes it impossible for
the second trial OF the casO to result In a
verdict greater than murder in the second
degree, and as it will be impossible for
the Commonwealth to show the overt act
without showing that the crime was
murder in the frat degree, the Court
would feel it to be ITS duty to set aside
that verdict, for the same reasons that
the first verdict was set aside, and that
being the case there was no reason why
the case should bs again submitted to
Jury and cost accumulated against tho
State.

 Glue, 4 pounds; glycerin, 3 pounds linseed oil. one-half pound; sugar, one quarter pound; aniline dyes ill sufti- cient quantity to color The glue is softened by soaking it ill little cold water, tn Il dissolved, together W ith the sugar, in the glycerin by aid of heat over a water bath. To this the dyes are added, after which the oil is well stir

 Give the compositions an hour or me g: in which to dry or set before cutting ol handling the pads. New York Ledger
