Our Sidewalks.

Sonio of our sidewalks are in a terrible condition and need repairing. We have spoken heretofore in regard to thismatter.;

Some have beon repaired and some are in the same dilapidated condition. I t is for the interest of everyone that the mat­ter be promptly "attended to. A young lady coming down Main street one day last week, stepped on a board that was loose and one' end flew up causing her to fall, and thereby receivied a very severe bruise. A litle girj stumbled twice on !the samp walk, and finally spilled a pail of milk that slie was carrying, on no other account except that the boards in the old sidewalk were most all loose and some gone. I t would actually be dangerous for an elderly person to undertake to iravelon- some of the sidewalks of this* village, for "they would be in danger of falling-teoT^llwho^ mjming'them­selves severely.. We do not like to bring the matter up every week or so, but w^ feel it is a duty that we owe to the people of this place. We know that the trustees have notified, or caused, to be notjfied, all parties whoso walks npeded repairing to attend to it at once. Some have paid no attention to the requests, and the only thing left for the trustees to do is to com­mence legal proceeding, which they do not wish :tp do, unless they are obliged

Lto. Bead the following extract from sec­tion 17 of the village by-lawj3. • "It' shall be the duty of each atfd every land owners whether in possession or not, and also of each and every resident there­on, at al L times and witiiout notice, to keep the sidewalks along the premises of such owner in asafe> and proper condition in good repair, etc."-

GOUVI(RNEUR T N . Y . , M a y 30,1879.

E d i t o r of t h e N O R W O O D N E W S :

Whether from a lack of true patriotism, or from- a superabudance of Christian charity, we cannot say, but, for some rea­son, Gouvemeur has never before kept Decoration? Day in a manner worthy of

4ihe many noble men who lefttheir homes ^eighteen ydars ago to defend the cause of §aght and, justice, and theJives and prop--,J5$of those who staid at homo, from mo-Ij^station anxTHestruction. - That a for-|g|ving,vSjMt is a great virtue, wo fully

At half-past nine tlie teachers, ,gtu€|p | | and such citizens as , chose, met. afe|l||l Seminary chapel, which was filled. • The) meeting was opened by the Eev. Miv Cankiin, by prayer, and after the reading of a poem, by Mr. Phillips, (a student,) and the singing of Hail Columbia by the choir, "the Eev. Mr. Townley was called upon fqr an address, and a more feeling timely and patriotic one it has never been our good fortune to. listen to.

Among tlie* old soldiers (old in the ser­vice if not in years) -who were called up­on for a few words, we noticed Oapt. G. B. Winslow. of Battery D. Artillery, Capt. Geo. Parker of Co. D., 16th Infantry, Lieut. Geo. M. .Gleason of tho 60th In­fantry, and Capt! Jessie T. Beynolds.— They all responded in a manner worthy of record, but our space will not permit us to report. The Eev. Mr. Peaslee, for­merly of- Norwood, Prof. Hunt of the G'puverneur Seminary^ and Eev. Mr. Conklin made some excellent and ap-.propiiafe remarks, after which a proces­sion was formed-and!1 they all marched in silence to the cemetery, where the graves of seven noble hearted patriots were dec-prated with flowers, by the hands of the youthful students of Gouvemeur Semin­ary. All honor to them. •

The performance of "Nature's Noble­man" at "Union Hall, last evening, the 29fch ihsi , was a grand success in every respect, and the young amateurs deserve much praise for contributing, to •so good an object, as we understand tho profits were for the benefit of the Epis­copal 'church. We understand that -the profits were about $72. *

WOBKS, WONDBBS, IMPROVEMENTS, ETC. T H E CANADIAN PROTECTIVE TARIFF—-HOW I T WOBKS.

Edi to r of the N O R W O O D N E W S :

Being compelled by business and somo inclinaxion for satisfying my curiosity and seeking information, I took a trip to tlio Province of Ontario, last week. The first town I stopped at on my route was

BBASHEB IRON WOBKS,

which with its sandy streets, dilapidated houses, fences, etc, indicates at onee that it is one of tho places that has been, and no one is left to record its rise and fall. Tho country about is naturally poor, and appears at present as if some rain would be beneficial.

HEI iENA.

This town is located, in the eastern part of the town of Brasher. The land in. its vicinity is good, and judging from its very large butter factory, shingle,,. saw andVgrist mills, wheelwright and black­smith shops, stores,.etc.,. it is a thriving village. Tlio meadows and crops arc looking well considering tho dry time. Between Helena and Ilogansburgh far­mers are about done then- spring's work. Then- share of the work is done well. If nature this season will tl8 as well, this county will be a land of plenty. The first thing we noticod on entering J

nOOANSBTJROH

is tho new Catholic Church,. which was built two years ago, and is' one of the finest.ehui'ch edifices in Northern New York. Therd is also a Catholic 'school connected with it with a large attendance of -pupils under the instruction • of tho Sisters of Charity. There is two hotels here, six stores, a couplo of blacksmith shops and nrsaw mill.' I t is an old town, but it came to maturity before it had half its growth, from some internal or exter­nal cause, or both. I t is only two miles from Hogansburgh to

ST. BEGIS .

This is an historic place. Missionaries came here and started the foundation of a church before New York city was' thought of. Here stands the house wherd Charlevoix wrote a great portion of his history of New Prance. Here was tLe camp of chiefs of the once great, but al­most extinct give Nations Indians. These Indians y have" had the advantages of churchesl&ld, schools for over. a century and a half, and yet thoy are only half civilized half Indian and half white men. There are two hotels here' and two gro­ceries, with many log shanties lining both sides of tho streets. This place is situat­ed at the junction of tho St? • Lawrence and St. Bagia Eivers. On tho other side of the river, -id the Province of Ontario, is the thriving town of

CORNWALL, -

of which I must say a little. There ore three cotton and woolen mills here which 'employWvefaT hundred hands", and "an­other in the com-se.of construction at the upper end of the town, which is tojbe 110 feet long by 71 feet wide, and five stories high besides a very extensive sup­ply of other buildings connected with it. The canal here is being enlarged. There are about one hundred men employed at various Works and at various wages.— The streets are full of tramps from all parts of the Dominion and tho TJnited States, .offering to-work, frequently, for their board.

The new tariff shows its workings hero. Prints are worth 10 to 12 cents per yard, jeans rnd cambrics 15 to 18 cents per yard, and other commodities in propor­tion.

There is no less than seventeen place s here named hotels, and about as many moro groceries, all of which, I am in­formed, are licensed to sell spirituous liquors. There are several stores of con­siderable size, and five tailor shops. This town indicates a siu-e and healthy growth judging from the many dwelling houses and public buildiugs that are being erect­ed at the present tune. *

E d i t o r of the N O R W O O D N E W S :

Several dogs have been poisoned dur­ing the last three weeks. Somebody evidently thinks tho town is overstocked with them.'

Some persons have a novel • wriy of ad­vertising.

—Gents' hand made shoes at L. E.' & H. Ashley's.

—J. G. Holland, editor of Sciibner's Magazine; aifived at hjs cottage on tlio St.JLawronce last week whero he intends to spend the summer.

—Ladies' three-button kid gloves at L. E. & H. Ashley's.

Canton last^eek. • Tho facts in tho case were not correctly stated in The Ogdens-burg JournatX Gray, Kelley and one Leary wero at farewell's hotel? Kelley asked Gray to drink with him which he did. After drinking Leary began tolling Gray how much he thought of him.— Gray resented. Farewell put Leary out of the room, Kelley disliked this, and without any words on the part of Gray to Kelley, and -while Gray was picking up his hat, Kelley, without any warning to Gray, and, as he supposed, unseen by any­body, dealt him a heavy blow with a bar tumbler upon the forehead, inflicting a deep wound and fracturing somewhat his skull. Kelley then dashed the tumbler out the -window. Gray bled profusely and was confined to the house for some­time afterwards. In the examination, the evidenco which Kelley gave and that given by his father-in-law Leary, was conflicting and" showed a disposition in Kelley'to falsify his statements. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $1,000. Tho case was closely contested at. every point and handled with ability on both sides. L. C. Lang for plaintiff. T. H. Swift for defendant. -

—The grand jury has indicted Harriet and Winthrop Morrihew for murder in the first degree, but failed to indict Charles Morrihew, of Schoharie county, for want ef evidence.

There scorns to be a general impression that the two will bo convicted of murder, for. poisoning David Morrihew. l&t somo bolievo tlio woman will oscapo capital punishment.

Court Proceedings.

A torm of tho Circuit Court and Court of Oyer and Terminer, Justice • Landon presiding"* commenced Monday,„26tli inst. at Canton. A. L. Martyn was chosen foreman.

Tho first case taken up was that of Brooks vs. Harrison. The plaintiff Brooks is a faimer, and owns a dairy.—^ Ho had a horso that was afflicted with tho polo evil, and tho defendant, who is on agent of the Society for the Preven­tion of Cruelty to Auimals, 'directed Mr. Brooks not to uso tlio horso in doing his form work. He also notified several cheese factories not to receive milk from Brooks, • because the, virus from the pole evil was liable to bo eaten by the cows, thereby rendering the product of milk unfit for uso. Defendant believing that plaintiif had sold, several tubs of butter to a dealer who bought for a Bos­ton firm, wrote to the house advising them of the circumstances connected with the making of tho butter. The

; plaintiff charged that inconsequence of this tho cheese factories in his neighbor-hopd refuged to receivo his mills, and sues to recover damages. Tho jury brought in a verdict for plaintiff of $900, five per ct. added which with costs amounted to $1200. ' Mr. C jok, of counsel for Mr. Harrison,

made amotion for a new trial, and to set aside the verdict as being excessive, The motion was denied and a stay of proceed­ings for sixty days" to make a case was granted. The verdict is thought to bo a heavy one by somo. It is not probable, however, that it will be disturbed.

Tho case of Emily J. Murray, of Pier-repont, who was indicted in 1874 for the murder of her husband, and was proved insane, and sent to tho TJtica Insane Asy­lum, and returned to tho county jail of this county last winter, was next called. Statements were presented^ from the su­perintendent of the asylum and an article on her case to the American Journal of Insanity, reviewing her case. The evi­dence went to show. tii^^he_wiiB„.Jnsane when she poisoned her husband, f he court expressed the opinion that the people were not in possession of facts J enough to undertake tho trial, and ordered a nolle pros, to be entered and the prisoner to be discharged.

The next cause tried w as Charles Bol-.doek against Amos N. Fitch. • From the plaintiff's opening in .the cause and the testimony he gave it appeared that the plaintiff had- a judgment iiL justice.court, from which the defendant had appealed ta ihe county court. The plaintiff said that it was agreed between them, that if ho, the plain tiff, would cancel tlio judg­ment, that the defendant would withdraw" the appeal and give the plaintiff a more and' colt. The plaintiff cancelled the' judgment but the defendant did not' deliver the more and colt and lias not. This action is brought to recover dam­ages for breach of contract. Eighty dol­lars is claimed as damages.

The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict 'foTf 83;56,""the value" oTTJie horse and colt, with interest.

Thomas Spratt-for plaintiff, L. M. &L. K. Soper for defendant.

The next case called was that of John Gray vs. Timothy Kelley. This was an action for assault and battery. The par­ties are from Brasher. For particulars of this ease see Brasher correspondence.

Mary Baldock vs. Arthur W. Gregory. Tins was another case of assult and bat­tery. Tho parties are from Brier Hill.

The defendant it appears was called upon to go with constable and arrest one Chas. Baldock for stealing a horse. The plaintiff claimed that tho defendant while there and after tho arrest was made, struck her with a lantern and kicked her. This was tho assault and battery com­plained of. Tho defendant and his wit­nesses on tho contrary claimed that-, the plaintiif struck him in .the face, pushed him. and otherwise assnlted him. The jury gave verdict for defendant.

Elmh-a Leavio agst. Isaac DeMott.— The'plaintiff, in November, 1878,'sent to tho defendant's drug store for "bromide of potassia." Tho druggist sent her tlio "bichromate of potassia." Which she took and was veisy apverily injured from it. They gave plaintiff a verdict for $164.

John W. Stone agst. Phebo Estes.— Tho defendant is tho widow of Frank Estes, who was conductor on the B. W. & O. E. E. He died in in 1870. After his death on executor was appointed who advertised and settled up tlio estate. I t appears that plaintiffs account was not in the schetlulo c f claims, and after the es­tate had been settled hp he makes this elain of nearly $200 which tlio widow re­fused to acknowledge. Jury gave verdict for defendant.

Eev. J . L. Waugh.

We have had tho facts concerning the silencing of tho Eev. J. L. Waugh, by

confession, but circumstances connected with the matter would not alow that it bd published at this time, but we have had tlio promise of it, if circumstances arc so as to admit of it being placed before tho public, and it will first appear in tho NEV

Kelley bpth,from this town, was tried at / the Presbytery, in our possession for two C a n t o n l a s f i ^ e o l c . • T h o fn^. ts i n t l i n anap. n v t h r n n wfipTrn. h t i t lTWfrn Tint. n n l d i H r i n / l or three weeks, but have not published

them, as no good could result frorajt, but, on tho other hand, mortification to tho family and friends innocently connected. But as an article from tho Water town Times has appeared in somo of tlio county papers we feel as though wo don't want our subscribers to go to other papers for homo news.

I t was first made public through the gossip of the servant of tho family who had seen at several times his abuse of Mrs. W. This excited curiosity in tho. minds of somo of tho congregation of Waugh's church, and tho Eev. gentle­man was waited upon and asked to ex­plain. Ho 4enied everything, even go­ing so for as to go into tho pulpit on Sun­day t^prning and deny that. h&- had ever abused his wife in thought, word or deed, and colled upon God to bear him witness that ho told the truth. Tho sad counten­ance of his wife, however, told tho story, being stronger proof of tho truth of the reports than his blasphemous and emphatic denial. A thorough investi­gation was held, and before a. committee composed of EeCMr. Furbish and two or three prominent men of Brasher, he finally, mado a written confession - of his crimes, arid swore to tliom before W. II. Wells 'a notary public. Tho subr stance of'the confession in port w6 give below, We have asked for the original

The subject of the following is a young mail of about 34 years, is well connected, had the very best advantages and good training in his younger days. His father is a highly respected clergyman of tho Presbeterian denomination.

Tho Eev. J. Leonard Waugh, that fig-" ures as a "wife beater," is a graduate of Haniilton college and of Auburn Theo­logical Seminary, a very promising man in the ministry and generiilly liked by tho public. He came to Brasher Falls to fill tlio pulpit of the first Presbyterian church of tjhat place in 187^

Ever since his first marriagQ, which happened about the time he was sottled there, he has been practicing his hellish tricks on his wife, at the same time giving himself to tho public as a GSd fearing and Christian 'man. He used every means in his power to keep his wife from, loaying him, even threatening to take her life at times, and at others to take his own.-There is but little doubt in tho mindset the people at Brasher, that ho was- tho cause mdirectly of the death of his first wife and child, the later lived only a few1

hours, mother and child being put into tho same grave.

In about a year after the death of hid ' first wife he was married to a very esteem-able young lady of Brasher. The honey­moon was of short duration. About two weeks after their marriage, and on the! return from their wedding trip, for some slight difference of opinion, he struck her several times, and wo will state here that he is a man of very poor judgment in tho common affairs of life, she being of «i practical turn*used to caution him, which almost always, at a later date, led to her getting a pounding. I t has been a con^ tinual pound, kick, choke and bite, froni that time until the present year. If one*; of the smallest trials of everyday lifer came up in such a way that she could in' any way be conneqted with it, it led to a chastisement on his part.

At one time he was out quite late and kept tea waiting, when he came home his wife was bringing in a basket of clothes' , from the line, he worked the basket out of, her hands, and when she asked him where he had been, he cuffed her and told her it was none of her business. Of an evening when she would ask him to remain with -her and not go loafing about-he would knock her down and often kick her very severly. About a month before her confinement he gave her a hard! pounding, biting, lacking and bruising her in a fearful manner, also aboufc-tea weeks after he repeated the dose the first day she was able to sit up. At the time of the death of a lady, a member of his church, he wanted to go away visiting and not attend her funeral, when his wife remonstrated "with him he knocked Eei' on to the floor and kicked . and pounded-her in most a fearful manner. Aftei; coming home from prayer meetings he* had asked her why she did not take part in the meeting when prehaps she was1

hardly able to stand* he pounded -he* until she fainted away, some one hearing the noise ran for help, and when"her father and mother came he took the Bible and read a-'chaptor and prayed, to prove that he hade done nothing wrong7 and of cours they had to believe him for was he not a ministerspf the gospel and an honorable man ? and the only one to accuse him was the-servant girl, and thus it was from week to week and month to month, and all theiime keeping his wife from telling; by the most cruel threats. He has pounded her so as to leave marks for six months, and somo scars she will carry for for'-lifc, he has left bruises on her back that caused running sores for weeks at a time. At one time just before going to church on a Sabbath morning he asked her about some papers that ho said sho mislayed, she*, answered that sho know nothing of them, whereupon he choked her against the side of the house, sho having her child in her" arms. Its cry­ing attracted tlio attention of passers-by. shortly after this tho child died, a few day.s after it was buried. Something was said about a tombstone which did not suit him and ho took the occasion to ad­minister a very severe pounding. At one timo ho knocked her on to the floor then took her by tho hair find dragged her* about and clramed her head up and down oh the floor until it was so sore that sho could not comb it for ten weeks. ' In fixing somo double windows for win­ter something did not go just right, ho took his fist and smashed a -window cut­ting his hand badly, his wife remonstrated with him for being So hasty when ho hit her a blow which made her eyo black. On the slightest difference of opinion ho would administer "his medicine," ho knocked her down in tho kitchen, took her in his arms and carried her into a bed-room, and to use his own. words for it, "pounded her*until he was satisfied." Once a little girl, a niece of his wife's, came into tlio room whon ho was pounding her,.she said, "Oh don't'pound my aunty." He immediately* knocked, her down, sho had a knife in her hand with which sho cut her face quite badly. Whon ho saw what he had done he coax­ed her with presents and. taught her to lie just as he was teaching the'Lord's prayer and told her sho must stick to it. Once after they had gone to bed, in a common conversation, he got mad, pound­ed, choked and bit her until she got up and set up in a' cold room two hours, when she thought that ho was asleep sho went back to bed, as soon as she was nicely sottled down, he -Commenced pounding heivigain. She got up put on a wrapper and. went homo to her father's house. In the morning sho came brick," aud in talking the matter up, he got mad again and knocked her on to the be^l and went through with about the same thing once more, this timo potinding her on the chest until she spit blood, then said ho would stab himself if sho told.

He would pound her and make her sing in the choir, when she was'ashamed to stand up and show herself, because of. natural delicacy. Other things could be told which are not fit to print. In his confession, when asked if ho had given all, he said. "No, he could not remember all, that it had come to such a pass that if she^ spoke to him, he was as likely to knock her down as to answer her cor­rectly."

If ever he returns to Brasher ho will meet with a warm reception in tho shap'o

sof coat of tar or something of tho kind.
