In the case of the State against Ben
iamin Butler, suit brought by Joseph
l.. Crosse, of Cold Spring, for trespass
on Two Mile Beach the defendant was
indicted before the Grand Jury, con-
victed in Court and sentenced by Judge
Douglass to pay a fine of one dollar and
the costs of the Court, which amounted
to S30.8S. If to this be added his law
yer's fee and the witness fees the cost
to Mr.. Butler will be between forty and
fifty dollars, when five dollars would
have effected a settlement without TAX
ing the case into Court.

Gathered in the prettily de ,orated
church, the handiwork of several of the
most earnest workers Of the church, the
children of the Sunday-school and a
fair sprinkling of the Older people, they
celebrated with becoming exercises the
Christmas season on Friday evening
last. Seldom has such a splendid pro-
gram been given and carried through
to such a successful conclusion, in part
as follows.

Glory to God in the Highest.
Too much credit cannot be given to
several of the scholars for the manner
in which they rendered their selections,
Misses Bertha Bradley, Eleanor Hart
and Belle Reed being especially mer-
itorious. The address of Rev. Dodd
was very appropriate for the occasion,
and he seemed to be especially happy
in his remarks to the little ones. AT
the close of the meeting Mr.. Bright
was seen vending his way to the front
of the audience. When he began to
speak it was apparent that he had
evidently been carrying a heavy load,
as his breath came in short ~convulsive
gasps. He finally managed to explain
that he had been asked to present-but
here the power of speech failed him
and he held aloft an immense turkey
and passed it to Mr.. Dodd, along with
an envelope containing a purse, both of
which had been contributed by MEM
bers of the church and outside friends.
In accepting the bird Mr.. Dodd said
that he had expected to eat chicken on
Christmas, but now he would eat
turkey.
