Tlie editor of the Argu last week in au aiticle uponthe Hainard-Cuitis trial says: "It was developed in the prosecntion tliat Rev. Mr. Curtís, a Methodist cleiyinan ia good standing lost lifty dollars at poker." We entertain the Idea that a Methodist cíeríT.vman wouid not De considered in good standing long after anytliinof of that kind were known of him. Bot as the Rev. Curtis is not a Methodist, and probably they have no desire to claim liim, we pass him over to the denomination to which he belongs. Last WftdflMday night as an inoflensive citizen was coming out of the post-offlce he was struck on the top of the head by a cañe in the hands of a student, cntting an ugly gash in the scalp. As near as we can learn there was no cause tor the act. The blow was given trom behind by one of about tifteen. It must be that the pólice forcé does not enjoy arresting students as in formcr years, lor here was an excellent chance to arrest one and for a good cause too. Such lawlessness should be sevcivly punished. David Potter, of Augusta, recently losl his Larn and stables by fire.
