Recently the Sre-filend Kramer was tried and convicted of arson. Wm. Ringrose testified that he visit- ed Kramer in jail while the grand jury was in session, and the Mellies to Ring- rose to bribe the grand Jury into ignoring the bill of indictment, suggesting that $19a man would Ox them. In giving his testimony the witness stated his fears that he would suffer frightful consequences. Bure enough ai a quarter-past 1 o'clock this morning his honse was fired and entirely destroyed, with all the furniture and effects. The flames then extended to the Lutheran parsonage and de- stroyed that also. though Rev. D. McCoon, the minister, saved his furniture.
