He was caught while conveying a bar Tel of whiskey to a doggery on Wood Tier, near the post, and will probably iear an interesting and pointed little -speech from Judge Dently, soon.

It is further added that ex Senator Ncsmith is to conduct the last teremonies, when his old friend is laid down to rent. A Fine Stallion. Granville Nay lor' fine Sligart stallion, Taylor, will bo at Card well's stable every Saturday land at Mr. Naylor's farm, three and a half miles east of Jacksonville, the rest of each week during the season of 1881.
