 TRIAL OF SAMUEL JoNEs, CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF JOHN w. SMITH.-During the session of our Circuit Court, last week, at Brownsville, this case was tried. The pris- oner had been incarcerated in prison since November last. The trial commenced on Fri day, and the case was given to the jury on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning the jury returned a verdict of 's involuntary man. slaughter" fixing Jones's terms of impriSon- ment at one year in the penitentiary.
 The State was ably represented by Attorney General J. L. HoLLowELL, and the prisoner ably and adroitly defended by Messrs. w. T. JONES and S. ". & w. L. D. WILLIAMS. Mr. Jones. although young lawyer, handled the case in manner worthy of older men in the profession and all who heard his effort ac- corded him full credit for his talents and legal research. The other gentlemen are too well known for their legal ability to require any special notice at our hands.
 We took full report of the testimony, as well as synopsis of the arguments of coun- sel; and we may advert to the trial again.

Texas is rapidly becoming one of the great

start was made few years ago by G. w. KEN
DALI, and his success has induced others to
embark largely in the undertaking. Besides
the fine wool-fiocks established there, it is esti-
mated that fourth of million Of the coarse
wool sheep of Mexico have crossed the line into
Texas during the present year. These Mexican
sheep, crossed with northern stock, make val.
liable progeny, both for wool and mutton.

OBITUARY or THE WIG PARTY

The old Wing party notwithstanding its bril-
liant successes and even more brilliant defeats,
may now be f,irly considered dead and buried
II. MCKINLEY ORMsBY, of Bradford the only
surviving member of that once powerful organ
ization in Vermont, and the only one who for
several years has steadily voted for the admin
istrator of the concern, has recently purchased
an obituary notice of the dear defunct, in a
work unanimously entitled, "a History of the
ewing Party Or, Some of its Main Features ;
with Hurried Glance at the Formation of
"Parties in the United States and the Outlines
"of the History of the Principal Parties of the
'Country to the Present Time, etc. BY X.

"'care of Great Britain to foster divisions be-

"ols & Co., 1889"
We have not enjoyed the felicity of porting
over the narration of the many virtues of the
lamented deceased, but from a notice of the
book we infer that the post norton eulogst
does not feel fully satisfied with either the Re
publican, American, or Democratic parties as
now constituted, hence he argues that nothing
could be more proper or advisable than re-or-
ganization of the Wing party. Now this mat
ter of resurrection is MI well enough to talk
about in absence of matters of Importance but
Mr. Ormsby will find it much easier said than
done. The people have very complacently wit
messed the death of the party and have seen its
remains decently inferred, and they have NO
disposition to disturb them. Seriously, man
who cannot better comprehend the nature Of
politics than to overlook living and vital issues
and sigh for what is past and hopelessly gone
forever, will hardly succeed in attracting atten-
ton outside of the obituary column.

The exhibition as a whole was eminently sue
ccsshil and a complete justification of the high
reputation the people of Wilmington enjoy
among their fellows. The interest of the occa-
sion to outsiders was greatly enhanced by the
open inequalities of her citizens which knew
no stint. In conclusion we cannot forbcar OK
pressing our unqualified appreciation of the per-
formances of the Cornet Band. Their music
was in taste and tastefully executed. They are
a credit to the town and to themselves.
