ASHLAND. Ashland COUNTY, OHIO WEDNESDAY NOR

I am happy to say the house of Alsop Co..
with but one single exception only, an Amer,
lean mercantile house in this city, has frowned
ON the petition, and having tried to uphold the
Consul in his proceedings. They know how
valuable it is to have a flag, and one Which
must be respected, and to which you can fly in
case of need.
The politics of the country are in ferment.
We do not know from one day to the other how
OF where the governing power will be vested.
Pedro Leon Gallo, the head of the opposition
party, is at Serena, the capital of Coqumbo,
where he is recruiting. He has enthusas-
tic army, elat.d with their recent victory over
the regular troops in the battle of the l4th of
this month. The government are making all
the exertions in their power to raise an army
! to compete with him, and are sending troops
! off daily to concentrate somewhere in his vi
icinity to give him battle the result of which
| is very doubtful. It cannot be denied that
FGallo is patriot. He tries to evade the effu-
sion of blood and denies his army any pillate,
supporting it entirely from his own private
| purse. 5s..s

The court assembled at the usual hour, and.
the crowd was immense. The District Attor
ney continued his address of yesterday, and
spoke three hours, during which the jury SEEM
ed restless When the Judge began to deliv
er his instructions to the jury the silence was
profound, and there was a movement of satisfac-
ton when he remarked, that if they believed
the prisoner unconscious of right or wrong at
the moment OF his encounter with Key, he was
entitled to an acquittal. At the close of the
Judges charge the defence declared their
readiness to submit the case to the jury, to
which the prosecution, promptly acquiesced.-
Every eve was now turned upon the jury, who
consulted for few moments among themselves.
1t was thought from their manner that they
would render their verdict without quitting
the box, when suddenly they announced their
intention to retire. s
: The interval that elapsedwas full of anxiety
to the friends of the prisoner, whilst the allies
of the prosecutions declared loudly that the
Jury were decided. During all this interval
the prisoner renamed calm. To one of his
friends, who sought to allay his apprchensions,
he responded, "I am resigned-'Thy will, not
niue, he done.'p Nearly an hour elapsed,
when the rumor spread that the jury were
coming, and violent rush ensued. The jury
took their usual places, and singular soiem-
nifty pervaded their features and manner. A
breathless silence prevailed. prisoner, stand
up, 'said the. Clerk of the Court. What say
you, gentlemen of the jury, guilty or not
guilty?" In voice almost inaudible from
emotion, the foreman responded, ..Not guilty =
The burst of feeling that ensued begSars all

was "a seene.ef uproar that was unparalleled
Hundreds yelled as though gone mad others
wcpt, and great number leaped into the dock
and embraced the prisoner wildly:

but on the quart principle the greater proper
ton of liquid misery and ruin is given for the
money. But call it honest, for the moment, if
you can, and what then ? Not "whatsoever
things are honest" simply, may be praeticed,
but those that are honest IN the s:gLt Of men,
nay, in the sight of all men. Whatsoever
things are just" is good account, but it will
not fill the bill; "whatsoever things are topety
and of good report" must be added, if there
be any such things as virtue and praise, such
realities as character and reputation. Not on
ly must we shun evil, but the very appearance
of evil.
Such is the law of God. The traffic in ar
dent spirits, Judged by this law, is cursed o
God and man, whether that traffic lie licensed
or unlicensed, save in that which is used as a
necessity. No man can, in fact, whatever may
be in form, hold a good standing as christian,
in violation of this, even though adhering to
the letter of the law of Caesar.
No man who buys, even for necessary uses,
where his example can encourage others to buy
for beverage, is blameless. For such purposes
go to conscientious druggist.
The distillcr and they who furnish him corn
and fuel, share the curse of the text.
They who allow their sons to haunt groceries
share it; still more they who frequent them
themselves.
They who ratronize liquor-selling groceries,
where they can avoid it, share the curse.
Let she Church take her stand and lead COM
munity in frowning down, as far as may Re,
this Curse-of Ram.
