IS A HALF BARREL A BARREL? 1 | An incident occurred in the Municipal .p ' Court, which shows how easily a person 1 indicted for an offense against the laws can escape, through a most trifling error in the indictment. John A. brazier was on" i ilia! tor larceny of mackerel fr<?in Long H \\ 11: I f. 1 lie e\ idi nee was put in to siis- j ,\ tain this charge, and the case given to the K jury. That body was in deliberation about nf live minutes, when they returned to the lv, court room lor the puipose of getting in. structions on a certain point from Judge Nash. The fireman remarked that the indictment a I leg jd the Moh-n mackerel to : | have been contained i'i barrels, w ln-rcas j y1 i ail the testimony went to show that half- j lo barrels were used. l>i?tiict Attorney Brewster argued that the teim " barrel," ' used in the indictment, was proper. The ' Cotnt did not coincide with the views of j the IhstricL Attorney?deeming a half J barrel a distinct piece of workmanship? j and decided that the indictment was <lu 'eclive. Tbo jury then, by order of the \ t'oiirt, rendered a Verdict of acuuiUal.

A New Year ! How many iuiscences both pleasant and painful i it Call forth. and how diHVrwftMy it Is ewed. The youth in his te? ns looks t upon n year spent without care nud d sportive pleasures, and rejoices thai rings him nearer to manhood, and as he reives to the realization of those Wright mis, which his young imagination has led in. The middle aged, with a taste he cares of life, looks back upon a year t presents more spots of shade than smile, his anticipations unrealized?dissatis | with himself, with the world and with | prospects, yet hopeful, that in the future j ' ph??*es of a life will be presented, teas ! letc with care, with disappointment and grin. The old and infirm, w ith nothing icrspective that would make life dcsir.i, yet looks back upon the past year and dders that it brings him one step nearer end of life, )nc j ear more is added to the scroll of e, and it lias doubtless b< en fruitful of ay changes to individuals, to families, to intimities and to nations. Some of these ng?-s we revert to with pleasure, toothers li pain, but each circumstance w hich has i ped to unfold them, whether the change | re for bettor or for worse, may by a prounderstanding, he iniulc to to ,c'i a prof- i !c experience.
