| . Common Pleas Court Items. ‘Court convened last Monday ; Jvdge } Clapp presiding, with 94 caseson the civil docket, the smallest number of cases | upon the calender of this court tor many | years. . I Quite a number of attorneys returned I to their homes on Tuesday, others om | Wednesday, and by Thursday qvening’ | scarcely a corporal’s guard remained. » | But one regular jury trial was had, viz: | the estate of David S. Simons, deceased, vs. Ephraim Cramer,—being an action upon a promissory note, executed by the defendant. to the decedent many years prior to the death of Mr. Simons. The defence pleaded payment, in which the. jury concurred by their verdict for the defendant. i A jury was empannelled to try the ‘alleged insanity of —-— Hagan. The ver. dict returned was that he was “insane and dangerous to the commung ty, 'if per- | mitted to run at large.” The Board of | ©ommissioners of thé county, having signified to the court that they bad made provisions for him, the court ordered that they have the care, custody, and control of Mr. Hagan. , In the case of the town of Ligonier ve. Edwin F. Woodruff, appealed from Squire Green by the defendant, a plea of guilty being entered, a fine of $2 and costs was assessed. : : The only item of interest which occur--red during the week was the examination and sentence gf John Reynolds and Chags. Bt. Clair, upon a charge of “stealing Wolf Bros. livery team, mention of which has heretofore been made in these columns, Reynolds and St. Clair were recognized to the Circuit Court but were tried by the Common Pleas Court under the following provjsion of our statute: - When a person is in custody on a charge of felony before indictment by the grand jury, the Court of Common Pleas shall baye original jurisdiction of felonies not punishable with death, concurrent with the Circuit Court. Both defendants pleaded guilty to the charge of grand larcery, and each offered a statement and asked the leniency of the court. : Both parties claimed to be.under -20 years of age; both carriage. trimmers by trade; both in court for the first time, and both the victims of the effects of their first spree. Reynolds especially, was quite verbose, priding bimself particularly upon his former temperate habits, and the fact that he was once Vice President of | the “Father Matthews’ temperance socie-; ty,” in Rochester, New York. « - They endeavored to_imprégs upon the wind of the court three points: Ist, that they were each under 20 years of age; 2d, that they were on their first “bum” when they ran off with the team, and 3d, that they were “too drunk to have any. idea of stealing the team ; and upon these points they relied for “justice, tempered with mercy.” Judge Clapp, in pronouncing sentence, met the points. presented by the accused in a masterly and dignifed manper. = He informed “them that our statute, which provides that “whencver any person under the age of twenty one years, shall be convicted of crime, the punishment for wkich is confinement in the State prison, the jury may substitute imprisonment in the county jail for any determinate period,” wasa humane one, but tuat its provisions did not apply to them';” that even presuming that they were under twenty one years of age, he could not regard them otherwise than as adults, in whose favor no alternative statute existed; that their statement of their early training, their experience and knowledge of the world and their general appearance all indicated that they were young men of more than ordinary intelligence and ability, with full knowledge of right and wrong, and the cofnscquenccs of crime. “I must regagd you as men, and pass sentence up= on you as such.” The court concluded about as follows: “Your @ statements in regaid to your former, temperate habits may be true, yet there are some circumstances conne¢ted with them that make them appear to me almost incredible. You state that ycu never drank even a glass of beer prior to your leaving Chicago; and yet, when you prepared to start for your home in Rochester to see your aged parents, you get a pint bottle filled with brandy,—all of which you drink between Chicago and South Bend. What was there, even upon your own showing, to cause you to thus debauch yourselves | with drinking that which pavesithe way to the State prison? You have money, and have thus no incentive to steal. You are’about to visit your mothers, and thus have greater motives for keéeping sober. Intemperance furnishes no excuse for, crime committed under its influence, but is itselt, in & senge, criminal. - : It isa wrong and evil thing fora man to cloud his mind, or excite it to unnatur - al or evil action by the use of intoxicating drinks, #nd hence, does not extenuate bis act or offence, but sggravates the crime thus committed. It is always a painful task for courts to pronounce ‘sentence upon their fellows, but the demands of justice are inexorable. The property | of the industrious must be protected ; the offenders of the law must be punished. In fixing the amount of your punishment, I must regard your own good as well as the good of the community. If I knew ‘the exact bour and, minute-of incarceration that would work your greatest good, and surest reformation to.the paths of in‘Qustry, honesty and sabriety, I. should-fix that hour and minute as the date of the return of your liberty, even: though it should extend through the entire period fixed by the law—jfourteen years. It will cause your parents great sorrow to hiear of your misfortune and disgrace, but I trust that it will be for your own good, and that when agn'in you are free, you will profit by the past and live indus. triously, soberly, and honestly the rb. mainder of your years, o 1t is tbe!ndgment of this court that we make your fine to the State of Indiana in the sum of $5, and that you each be imprisoned in the State prison, and kept at hard labor for the period of three years, and that you each bo disfranchised ~and rendered ‘im?db’l’e othﬁhg'om of trng’t or profit for the peﬁod_‘ f three. bapitred b b Rt o ’,*Tha‘ prisoners were at once returned to jail by the sheriff, who will in a few d‘-’;t ,- ey them o Mishignn ity e long i lnger ereand moraise, i sk many of whom may some day—unless

York Cemter Local. _ York TowssHip, June Btb, '72, I have been waiting, like Micawber, for for something to turn Ip, and have been rewarded. ' ; An Indian show turned up, and bored the people at Albion last week. This week a “belling” turned up a good many things in the Pleasnnt Grove neighborbood. It is supposed, by the noise they made, that the youngsters had a good time. 'They were plainly heard at Wolf Lake, a distance ot two and a half miles. But the joke is, they d!idn’t get a bite ner asup. All such noisy fellows ought to have'the same luck. Thieving is stlll in progress, and mar. auders enriching themselves by settling down on oats, chickens, lard, wheat, corn* etc. L e The Old Settlers’ meeting was a grand success, in the eyes of the Yorkers, but I think the Albion band .was treated shabbily by the “head fellers.” It wasn’t Wawaka, was it, boys? ; Two splendid barns have been erected, one by Mr. S. Kuhns, qf Noble townsbip, but to honor the natives, he put his new barn just over the line in York.. - Railroad excitement still prevails, and the Augusta knobs are in danger of being leveled. That town of old settler times may yet have street cars! Those fellows who were on that scandalous drunk last week had better stay at home next time, or emigrate. Shame! Prof. Powers is delivering a scries of lectures at Albion,which are patronized by the Yorkers to some extent. :

‘And where do you suppose the biggest “fourth” will: go off in Noble county? Btir up the folks around. you and see." The late warm showers are a great benefit to the corn crop, which in this vicinity is light. - cow Corn, around here, has to be replanted, as the cut-worms have taken it by the acre—jyes, tens of 'em. e Small fruits will be abundant this year, peaches scarce, apples nearly an average crop, and cherries plenty. : Anpotber White-Collins affair, but on a -smaller scale, went off not many miles from Pleasant Grove. Particulars may be given at some future date; enough for this time. Toy TUCKER.' : e » THE following'communication explains itsedf ¢ ‘ S GosSHEN, IND., June 4th, 1872. J. B.

WHILE running at the rate of about thirty miles an hour, a wheel of one of the cars of the gravel train on the D. E. R. & I. R. R, bursted near. Liberty Mills on Friday last, throwing some eight or ten cars off the track and piling them up in & jumbled mass. Frank Supple, of this place, a brakeman on the'train was quite severely injured.

Darley, and the volnmns are sold at the low price of 75 cents. liis the first time Cooper’s novelshave been placed before the public in a style that is both attractive, and yet at a price;to render them accessibleto the great majority of readers. As time passes, Cooper’s splendid pictures of the early border life of our country gain value aed ckearm. Every Ameri¢an should be familiar with the scenes and cheracters which he depicts, for. his works are’ advisibly identified with our. early history and our primitive forests. Cooper’s novels dught to form a part of the educstion of -our youth, for they are well calculated to inspire B love of country, and to encouragew spirit of robust ‘masliness, TR BT T Y
