One of tlie members of the State

ulently, whereupon the -temperauec
element remonstrated, and things
were earned to such an extent that
the affair finally landed in court, to
teat tlie veracity of certain parties
who had mode sworn statements.
We have it that the persons alleged
to have perjured .themselves, since
the trial have been tormenting the

neut part in their prosecution. Early
on a morning of lost week: they

and placed iu the forge a heavy

would explode, as soon its the- fire
was kindled. He wentto liis work

and fortunately for him, he wo not
