HORSE CASE IS FINALLY SETTLED
----------
Alexander Pleaded Not Guilty
But He Allowed
the Court to Find
Him Guilty --
Fine and Costs $14.50.
----------
Jacob Alexander, who was arrested a few days ago on the charge of selling a horse to Monroe Goodrich, which was afflicted was before Squire James Webb this morning. He entered a plea of not guilty, but permitted the court to find him guilty of the charge and he paid a fine and costs to the amount of $14.50.
The trade was made several months ago, Goodrich discovering afterwards, that the horse had an affliction, of which he was not told at the time. Goodrich paid $100 to Alexander for the horse and he has since sold it for the same amount.
The case has been in court before and, it is rumored that it is a case of personal feeling between Prosecutor Hack and Alexander, it being understood that Alexander, although a Democrat, is not a Hack man.

Family Gatherings.
----------
Sixty-four years ago on last Tuesday our friend Nathan Goodrich made his advent into this world and his children proposed to make this anniversary an occassion of a fmily re-union. Mrs. Goodrich was invited to the country and as Nathan was busy in the store, the children and grand children to the number of about twenty, had no trouble in preparing a sumptuous dinner. Their eyes opened in astonishment when they came home and found the house filled with their children. But a good dinner and a good social time dispelled their astonishment. As Ed. went to school yesterday morning he left a large supply of samples of cake.
