Discharge Of Jim Lane at Lawrence.

The Examining Court in Lanes case
discharged the prisoner on the I'd.
Aher ihe argument closed. the Magis
|xatese composing the Court, were twenty
bur hours coming to decision. This
Mas o@ing in part to the contradictory
Of thetestimony, andin part
Ito some other causes which may bo-
come public hereafter.
Every possible circumstance that
could be imagined in connection with
the case, was sworn to by the witnesses
|on one side CT the other. Every shade
DC character of case was made out
from the blacklist and most deliberate
murder, to the most meritorious and
'kallant instance of self.deience ever
Recorded
From the known character Of the wit
nesses the. Court could have been at
little loss to know what part Of the tes-
timony was credible, but as they were
at liberty to believe one part as well as
another, they studied some tine to de-
eide what aspect they had better give
the csse.
Though this result was not unexpeet-
ed, yet it has excited great Indignation
in the better and more fhtelligent class
of the community, for they know just
how tn, case was made out, but the
rswdies, who are all Lanes friends, are
in great glee.
The cause Of the quarrel between
Lane and jenkins, arising from the dis
puted land claim, was carefully kept
out of this investigation by lanes conn
sci, and it must be confessed that with
out this the case appears much bettei
for Lane, but to those who know how
he provoked this quarrel, by making q
vexatious claim to land 10 which b.
had no title, how he tried TO compe
jenkins by threats and otherwise t.
compromise and give him bali OF. it
aud how when he found it was impcs
siblc TO frigbten jenkins into any CON
promise. he finally provoked him int
hostile attitude where he could get nj
excuse for killing him. To those wh'
all this. it appears most deliberate
murder.
lie knew there was no possibility o
making any arrangement with jenkins
with him his case WAS hopeless, bu
may not be 50 with his administrator
or representatives

= Az IMPORTANT DECISION IL INDIANA 49,
The Supreme Court Of this State has
Just rendered IN important decision
upon 1.-The right Of juries to determine
the law and the facts" in criminal eases.
'fhc Court held that the provision Of the
common law, that juries were competent
70 Judge OF the evidence alone, and must
accept the law, TO be us charged by the
Court, was Mt variance with the Consti-
tuition, Article lat, Section 49, The
language OF the Constitution il as fol.
lows: "In all criminal cases, whatever,
the jury shall have The right to deter
mine the law and tho facts " This Ian
guagc makes the function of the Court
in charging the jury merely advisory
not imperative, and they may either
follow the instructions given, or disre-
gard thcms without violating their legal
duty.

THE PEOPLES PARTY IN DELEwARE.-
A meeting Of the newly organized peo
pies party was held at New Castle,
Del, on Saturday week, at which all
parts of New Castle county were repre-
sentcd. Resolutions were adopted sp-
proving of the platform framed by the
contention held at Dover on the 10th of
June, denouncing the Lecompton policy
of the national administration, pointing
10 the embarrassed condition of the
treasury as proof Of the incompetency
of the President and cabinet to manage
the affairs of the nation, and opposed to
free trade and in favor of protection to
American industry.

PULL1oa TEETH IN OLD TIMEs.-The


PULLIod TEETH IN OLD Es,-The
primitive method of abstracting teeth
in Scranton is thus described:
One end of a hemp string was fas-
tened upon the aching member, while
the other, securely tied around a bullet
purposely notched, was put in the bar
rel of an old flint lock musket, loaded
with an extra charge of powder When
all was ready, the desperate operator
caught hold Of the gun, and 'let drive.
Out flew the tooth, and away bounded
the musket several feet. This mode of
extracting teeth became the chosen and
only mode practiced in this region for
many years.
well, doctor, how much DO you ak
for the job? Guy but you do it quick,
though said chap suffering with
toothache.
My terms are one dollar = answered
the dentist.
"A dollar for half minit's work
One dollar-thunder! Why a doctor
down tour place, drawed tooth for
me, two years ago, and it took him two
hours. lie dragged me all around the
room and lost his grip half dozen
times. never seed such hard work
and he only charged me twenty-five
cents. A dollar for a minit's work
you must be a jokin.

lie WAS A STRANGER TO HER.-Those
who are termed simple minded peo-
pie adopt curiously innocent mode OF
expression occasionally, which comes
so near art, at times, as to render its
simplicity doubtful. Here is a relisha-
bic case in point:
We hear of a young married couple
from the country, of course-who
recently attended an exhibition of Dis
solving Views. The bride, being pret-
ty, attracted the attention of stylish
looking city gent, who happened to oc-
cupy the same seat with the twain.
During the exhibition, the audience
part of the hall being already obscured,
by some accident the light was entirely
eXtinguished. Pending its recovery,
which occupied some little time, the
city gentleman (perhaps accidentally
gently pressed the hand of the bride,
who was too much alarmed to offer re-
sistance. This bold act was followed
by bolder, certainly not accidental,
for the city Lothairo absolutely kissed
the bride! This was too much, and
the young wife resolved to tell her bus-
band, which she did, when the follow
ing whispering colloquy took place:
John
'What?'
This feller here's kissing me-
well, said John, who was a little
shy of the citizen, tell him to quit
No, John, you tell him.
Tell him yourself
NO, John, don't like to; you tell
him. The gentleman's a perfect stranger

She took up life as easily
As if il were not new
Reached for the sunshine on the grass,
And dabbled in the dew.
And grew acquainted with the rose,
When spring had trimmed her bowers,
AS if she came to dwell with us
From out a world of flowers.
She thought that by an unseen hand,
The little birds were fed,
And that her blind lamb tenderly
Along his path was led
She smiled at nightfall and she smiled
To see the storm astir,
AS if within her fathers house
No harm could come to her.
She only learned the names of things,
The brightest and most sweet,
For ere she stayed here long enough
The lesson to complete,
Death kissed her eyclds, and she fell
Asleep without a fear,
Trusting our love to keep her safe
