THE WORTHWHILE SHOOTING CASE.

It seems that on the night of the 5th inst. from 20 to 9 of the young men of the village and vicinity went to serenade Earl Warehouse, who had married a day or two previous. When they got to the house they blew their tin horns, beat an old boiler and let off two guns. Whereupon Orlo More house, father of the bridegroom, came out and ordered them away. About this time Louis Northrop, one of the serenading party, was shot in the legs and hand. Northrop charges Orlo Warehouse for the assault with intent to kill. The case was brought up, Tuesday, before Justice Jackson, Lawyers Nickerson and Williams for the defendant and Addis for plain tiff. The court room was we'll filled. Great interest is centered in the case. One of the witnesses named Spalding was on the stand three hours.

JUDGES THICKER THAN SOUTHERN
 COLONIES.
 Did it ever occur to you what crop of "Judges' New Milford has pro- duced? Indeed, one local wit declares they are more plenty than colonels in the South. Here is our brand new and simon pure judge, Hon George Jack son, who wears his new honors with becoming modesty. A man who has listened to as many learned and elo- quent speeches from men seated on the cracker boxes in his store from the famous editor down to the horse jockey, as has Jackson, is surely in a position to fill the position with credit. Then there are other judges: Judge Todd, Judge Addis, Judge McMahon, Judge Levy and Might-Have-Been Judge Williams, who fell by the wayside in the famous battle with Addis. But aside from all joking THE BEE believes MT Jackson's nomination a good one and that he will fill the office with dignity and credit to himself and the town. He has a judicial head on his shoulders and is not inclined to be puffed up about it, either.

DIR TAYLOR BREACHES TO THE ODD
 FELLOWS.
 Sunday was memorial day with the Odd Fellows and>the members of Good Shepherd lodge, after decorating the graves of their brethren in the Center cemetery, on Sunday afternoon, march ed to the Methodist church where they listened to an eloquent sermon by the pastor, Rev Dr George Lansing Taylor. His subject was Gods righteousness and man s righteousness; or the moral ist's mistake" Dr Taylor prefaced his sermon with thoughts on the tender offices just engaged in by the Odd Fellows in decorating the graves of their brethren. He said he understood Bible was in every lodge hall and he presumed they would not object if he gave them plain gospel sermon. He thought possibly there might be a danger that some members would sub- stitute benevolence for religion or morality instead of religion. Morality should go with religion, but religion is the basis of morality. At the close he said he was not acquainted with the Odd Fellows grip, but that if they would file by him he would give them the good old-fashioned Methodist grip in the most hearty way. The Odd Fellows and the entire audience then passed by him and shook hands cor dially. The church was crowded.
