From the Remington Times.

The festival held by the Indies of the M, E. churcti, lust Friday night, was a pleasant and successful affair, the net proceeds being $-38. Hon. E. P. Hammond, S. P. Thompson, Geo. Robinson, and the sheriffs of several other counties have been subpomuod to attend the McCully trial. S. IV Ifnyes skipped out last Monday with several hundred dollars in his pocket, and left his stock and firmly to face abouts 800 worth of debts. Attachment suits haver been commenced. The mail train going west yesterday morning picked up a large hog, just this side of Reynolds, and carried it to theStalsr Line <>n the cowcatcher, when it was found thnt his porkship was not injured in the least. About sixty of our citizens hive been summoned to Monticello, next Monday, to testify in the McCully case, Otrt of tint I sixty probably not five know anything about the matter, and it is difficult to understand why so many must be at the expense of the trip, for which they will receive no pay, unless it be to rnehe the community as much trouble and expense ns possible. It is about time this matter was settled in someway so that peace and quietness can again resume their sway. Three years of fighting, wrangling and litigation is a little too much of a good thing, and great, expense is entailed upon many who know nothing about the matter but hearsay. Many of the last lot of witnesses were not within miles of tho pin re nt the time of shooting, and some knew nothing of it until days afterward. They are doubtless summoned eut of a feeling es revenge.
