kegs daily. AS skilled labor in Japan is
paid but 80 cents day, as against $l.50 in

neighbors and friends. A splendid
lunch was served by the hostess and as
the company was seated at the table,
Mayor Couch presented MIR. Herrick
with beautiful rocking chair in which
to rest during his declining years, 1t
is unnecessary to say that Timothy

In reply to the inquiry contained in
last weeks issue, we wish to say that
there are so many different kinds of
crimes and offenses that the same ans
wer would not apply to all cases. The
magistrate should be governed by the
affidavit in the case, and if the accused
plead guilty to all contained therein
the magistrate would do wrong in most
cases to make Unnecessary costs. In
cases of assault and battery it would
be proper for the officers to ascertain
the extent of injury done before fixing
the penalty.
