It ia one of the spices that makes life enjoyable. We are not well enough ac quainted with each other. The possession of friends is one of great value. This is acquired through aociablity. Why cannot Albany people have gatherings frequently, other kind, as well aa church socials A few cards like this would come in place : "Mr. and Mrs, Wlnk'ehsm Sacharine, at Home, Friday evening, Nov. 39th. No re freshments. Just for fun," O The M. A T. considers the completion of the O. & C. R.

It is evidently the work of the attorneys of Johnny. The G. A. R. Poet of this dtv has not petitioned for his pardon, nor have agreed to. The confes sion U thin. Undoubtedly there were two parties in the robbery, for Messrs. Witter and Clark, night watchmen, saw them run ning away, and from the evidence abduced at the trial it was certainly proven that Johnny was one of them. The jury that tried him was only out a few minutes, so conclusive was the testimony, although he was defended by three able attorneys, Mr. Montanye being one of the number. One thine is certain, and that ia that whenever notice of nardon is given, a large remon strance will be bled. Besides, when he was here a large number of petty larcenies pre hvaiied,which ceased when ne was locked up Three years is short enough for him, con sidering the enormity of his crime. Nevertheless, notwithsanding, an effort has been Inaugurated, we are told, in Eu gene, for the pardon of Johnny. Instead of the evidence being dear against, it was a surprise to a majority of people who wit nessed the trial that Johnny was convicted. Had Johnny been a petit thief the people of Albany, among whom he lived for years, would have found it out. On the other band be was not a Saint. CITKRKNT EVENTS.

We are glad of the result for bis sake, and more es peclaUy for his wife and little child who have been in breathless suspense and deep anxiety for him, awaiting the father's re turn.
