on Saturday, the jury in the case of Fred
erick Loebig, charged with the murder Of
Matthias Smith, and sho had been shut up
from about l-2 p m. of the previous
Thursday, can into the court and render
ed verdict OF mol guilty. The scene will
not soon be forgotten by those who witness
ed it. The faithful, affectionate wife OF the
prisoner, who throughout the trial has ney-
er for moment absented herself, stood
weeping by the side of her husband to hear
the result-to her, as to him, al announce
ment of fearful importance. A breathess
silence,broken only by the sobs of the poor
woman, reigned throughout the court as
the clerk, in clear and solemn voice, said
"Frcderick Loebig, stand and hold up your
right hand" The prisoner, pale and agi-
tated, but sustained by his affectionate
wife, did as he was directed. The clerk
continued, addressing the jury, "How say
you, is the prisoner guilty Of the matter
whereof he stands indicted, or rot
guilty ?" The result we have stated, and
no sooner was it known than the man,
ovcrpowercd by his feelings sank down in
to the arms Of his aifcctionato wife. She
scarcely knowing what to do, almost beside
herself with joy, kissed him over and over
again and, as if this were not enough,
rushed forward and. seizing the hands o! the
counsel who drI,nd,d him. balhcd them
with tears. Many Of the -sapjors.,.~
among whom were stern rough men, whose
cheeks, perchance, had not been wet with
tears since childhood-poured fourth ma
turc's sinless tribute, and as the prisoner
and hi, wife 'cit the courthouse, surround
ed by their friends, honorod their affection
by Il silent prayer for thci: future happiness.

MEDICAL REFoRn.-We arc gralilied to
perceive by our exchanges, that the move.
ment made by the eminent Professor Nc
CIiulock, for the Introduction of superior
class of medicines INFO popular use, has met
with unbounded success, and is being sus-
tained, as it should be, by the people and
the Faculty. If there is any subject which
should claim our earnest attention, it is, TO
whom and 10 what shall we trust our health
and our lives, when we are in sickness p
Hitherto, a few only, who could afford to
pay large fees, have been able to reach the
attention of such men as DR.. Mott, DIR. Nc
Clntock, and others, who, like Abernethy
and Sir Ashley Cooper in the Old World,
have become so widely celebrated, as to
make 1t necessary for them, in self.dcfensc,
TO confinc their treatment to those who
could pay them most for their time and
skill. Or. McClntoch is tho first man who
has had the public spirit to step out OF the
conservative ranks Of the profession, hold
ing the distinguished position he does, and
give his rrescrr rtious in cheap form to
the people. We are glad to learn, there
fore that the people arc trying the medi-
cines, and that The medicines are lrium-
rhantly sustaining the great reputation Of
their inventor wherever they are used Give
the public Il chance 10 get good medicines,
and they will certainly buy no more bad
ones. We again advise such Of our read
ers as may need medicines in their fami-
lies, or such as are about TO travel, to proc
vide themselves from the list of DIR. NJ
Chinook S Family Medicines, as advertised
in another column of this paper.
