Resolved, That our cordial thanks be extended to the choir for the fire musical contributions the have tendered to this convention.

Somewhat Critical. Is it possible to conceive of a more degraded and lothesome thought! although the chanic clothes his language in seemingly indifferent words. It shows a mind utterly incapable of elevating itself above uttering the most vile and indecent invectives. His incentives to good have long since been shipwrecked on the shoals of perdition, where their will eventually follow, unless by some powerful intervention of Providence he is hurled into some other abyss whence no resurrection will ever unearth from him. The above is an average paragraph from the Leader, taken at random from the columns of yesterday's edition.

It is a tissue of inaccuracies from stem to stern post, "from turret. to foundation stone." It violates every rule of grammar and rhetoric, outrages the parts of speech and breaks the ten commandments of syntax. Does the writer mean "loathsome "What has "the clever mechanic's clothing of his language" to do with "the possibility of the conception How can "language" be clothed with "words," words being the material of which language is made up, and, in the given case, existing before the language is created To what does "it" in the second sentence refer? Is an invective If so, how long has it been, and when did the fish become "vile" and "indecent To whom does the "Ilis" in the third sentence refer "Incentives to good" being the gift of Heaven, no matter how sorely they may be abused, how is it possible that they could be "shipwrecked on the shoals of perdition What system of theology or philosophy permits the hurling of "incentives to good" "on shoals. of perdition Is "shoals of perdition" the correlative of "other abyss?" Is not "shoal" the opposite of "abyss An "abyss" being a bottomless pit, how is it possible that by any conceivable method of "resurrection" the process of "unearthing" could take place "From whence" is a redundancy as unpardonable as "funeral obsequies." There is no such word in the English language as "emanator." The intelligent reader will observe that in addition to the deplorable ignorance of the rudiments of the formation of language already pointed the writer of the distorted and ill -begotten paragraph quoted from the Leader lacks deeper quality, ability to think logically, which is the best requisite of the writer, even though his contributions are for the pages of the primer. This is a qualfor the lack of which education makes at ity best but poor i amends.

A Hogish Case. The hog stealing case, over which Normal is so badly agitated, was called before Ferre yesterday afternoon, but 18 Mis. Ferre is quite ill, the case was by consent tried before 'Squire Hendryx, and Mr. Ferre excused. Hon.

A. E. Stevenson and Robert McCart appeared for the defense, and Joseph W. Fifer for the People. The grounds for the complain, as stated by Mr.

Fifer, are about as follows: For some time the C. A. R. R. have missed a number of hogs from their trains between Bloomington and Chicago.

The ears were opened sometimes between here and Towanda, or Lexington, Chenoa, or Pontiac and sometimes between bere and points further up the road. On watching the cars, the Sprague boys and Moreland were seen "mousing" about the cars, but were never seen around trains where there were 110 cars of stock in them. Ezra Sprague was noticed around the trains. Between here and Lexington brakes 1 had been set on the trains to slack their speed, and when the cars were amined at the next station on trains so tampered, without exception it was found that stock was missing. Sprague and his companions in trouble had also been found sell10g hogs to butchers, soapmakers and the pork house, which was badly bruised on various parts of the body, as if the animals bad fallen from the cars while in motion, and he further stated that the hogs so sold by the Spragues had been titled by the shippers as the ones which the had placed upon the cars of the C.

A. road. Mr. McCart contended that this did not make a case against the defendants, even if all the suppositions of Mr. Fifer were true, but they were not.

He said the Spragues could prove that every animal which they sold was purchased in an honest manner. Mr. Adams, conductor of the C. swore in he ran substance a train to from these facts: Bloomington February, first Chicago in which was one car of hogs, billed from Atlanta as containing 70 animals. The car was new, and when it left here was properly fastened.

He always looked at stock cars at each station to seee if they were fastened. The first full stop was made at Chenoa, where he found the door of the car wide open. He counted the hogs and found only 64 hogs; could not count more. William Pake, of Atlanta, swore he shipped a car of hogs, containing 66 animals, at Atlanta that when it arrived in Chicago there were only 59. It was so reported to him by the C.

A. Company. Mr. Finigan, yard master of Union Stock Yards, swore he counted the animals in this car, and it contained only 60 hogs, and one dead. Mr.

Turner, of Atlanta, proved same manner the loss of 6 hogs in March. Mr. Hall, of Delavan, a loss of hogs. He had frequently lost one hog at a time, but gave the company the benefit of the doubt thinking it might have been a miscount. It finally became so frequent he could not stand it, and he claimed damages for the loss.

Mr. Ramey, Williamsville, proved a loss of four hogs in February. Ed. Worth, of Carlinville, proved that he lost three hogs, as did a number of others. In each case the car left this city fastened properly, but was found open at the first stop north.

Mr. George Stuart, conductor, swore, in substance, that he had been called upon by the C. A. to act as detective to watch the stock trains as they left' Bloomington, and from the 7th to the 17th of March every stock car left here properly fastened. He had seen Ezra Sprague around the depot with three others whom he did not recognize, but did him as he passed a headlight.

Had seen him get on the caboose just as a train pulled out of the station. All stock trains go north between 5 and 12 p. most of them at about 8 or 9 o'clock. He had seen the Spragues walking along the cars. Did not seem to have any ness there.

The nights were dark a and rainy. Did not see them do anything suspicious or try to avoid being seen. He also saw Moreland and Will Sprague acting in about the same manner. Charles Christy, who was empowered to watch the cars in the same manner as Stuart, saw Ezra Sprague and the others walking along the side of stock trains, and saw them mount the caboose as the trains pulled out. He had seen them a number of times hanging around the stock trains.

He could not swear that there was any thing suspicious in their movements or that they avoided observation. The case by this time had been carried on till 9 p. when the court adjourned till 9 o'clock this morning. The Long and Short of it. The PANTAGRAPH desires in short to shortly say to Short that it will be long indeed until it desires to treat Short with shortness.

Having known Short but a short time, we long to know him longer as we shortly hope to do. The short and the long of it is that the longer we know Short the less short do we long to treat Short. May Short never be short and short he happen to be short, may he not be long short. Long or short the short and the long of it is that the PANTAGRAPH does not long to short Short off' in any short manner, and short Mr. Short shortly rent a new shop, the PANTAGRAPH will make short work of shortly shorter giving Short a long short.
