! 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.

t upon n year spent without care nud

his anticipations unrealized?dissatis |

and surviving sitter, who removed yeaiH 1,1
ago to a distant Commonwealth, have yet to
h-i?r the shock which the sail intelligeneo of ?:
lie" death must give. She was horn April w
1811, and had nearly completed her forty ^
sixth year. It in needless to say, in this 1
community, that .'lie was (he centre of a ' c>
large circle of devoted friend*. Tile uigtti- 84

those to whom she was hound by these
lender lie*. Death has created a Void to
them which earth can never till. In many _
respects this sad visitation seems untimely.
The victim fell in the strength of her days;
her ('goroiis health and robust constitution
promised a long life ; and even when the \|
destroyer came, hi* approaches were so in- j,
sidious and deceitful, that a tatil result was
not apprehended, until almost the last hour
b;id conte. Still there was much mercy in <
this cup of bitterness. .She had been spared ||
to see her chi'dren grown up around her; (-(]
they had passed the age which demands a 1
mother's anxiety,nnd were rapidly becoming
a mother's ptidij. 'I.hey had been trained in :

pie* r.f religion, she ncoer lost sight of them
in the conduct of life, but her religious bintory
reached a crisis some months before
her last i'inesa, and trftc was privileged to
rejoice in the hope of pardoned sin, und was
only wailing for the regular administration "
of Christian ordinances in the l'rokbt tarian
Church of this place, to coiue out boldly
