Throu 81 the mist Of time appears.

Shades from the unforgotten past,

Smiling as when they passed away;
The aged, and the sad, and colo, ;
Mournful as in the days of old,
To memory dost thou recall;
Bright magic mirror! Waterfall!
The shades which hover DER the past
AS gaze on thee aside are cast;
And the joyous light Of departed years,
In thee, 0 Waterfall appears.

was an indictment against jesse r. Lolor,

ty, for the murder Of his wife. Loer was
walking with his wife along narrow Bride
path near his house. He had gun on his
shoulder, and his wife was walking directly
behind him at the distance Of about ten feet.
She several times requested him to hold up
his gun, as the mu2zle was pointing directly
toward her. He did so, but soon altcrward
the gun went off and shot her in the side.
She lived but few days. Loiler was charg-
ed with shooting her intentionally, and was
indicted for murder in the first degree. The
trial lasted three days, when he Was acquitted.
Mrs. Joller, before her death, repeatedly de-
clared that she believed her husband limo.

it was mere accident The prosecutors were
the father and mother of Mrs. Loller. The
evidence went to prove that the discharge
