our people, read the annexed card issued
by three wellknown patriotic citizens OF
this county:
The undersigned have been authorized by
Governor Curtin to raise volunteer company
of Infantry, for service in the present war, to
be composed of men at least forty-fve years
of age. No person under that age will be ac-
cepted as member of said company. All who
wish to join this company will please apply
to the undersigned. The crisis demands that
every man should do his duty. Turn out,

do all the fighting. WILLIAM PALMER,

We understand that the above company
is being rapidly filed up, and that it will
soon have its full compliment of "Silver
Greys." Good

CAsE-Ourre readers will probably recollect
the particulars of the above horrible affair,
an account of which we published at the
time of the occurrence. 1t is the old sto-
ry-loving not wisely but too well, and
endeavoring to cover up one crime by the
perpetration of another.
The defendant in the case, Ann Hart
Zell, a young woman OF some 10 or IL
years, was brought to trial during the
recent session of our county Court. The
counsel for both the prosecution and the
defense embraced some of the ablest law
yer5 at our Bar, and the trial occupied
the major part of three days.
After a thorough and careful investiga-
ton into the facts, the jury, after due de-
liberation, returned as their verdict that
the defendant was "gui7iy Of murder an the
second degree" and the Court shortly after
sentenced her to undergo an imprison-
mcnt in the Western Penitentiary for
term Of SeUen years.
The trial elected large share of pub
lie attention, and while all lament the ne
cessity that consigns any human being to
a diving grave" no one questions the
Righteousness Of the punishment in this
case.
p DIDN'T SEE IT We overheard a spir-
tied little conversation the other evening,
going far to show that military matters
sill receive their due share of public
attention in this community.
a. CHANGED to meet B. on the street,
and not having seen him for several days,
inquired as to where he had been.
"Out in the wilderness, recruiting"
returned 3.
"Recruiting." said A, rather surprised
that his friend, who is confirmed inva-
lid, had embraced the profession of Mars
"Yo ou recruiting. the devil -"
"No," said B., "recruiting my health :"
Whcreupon, in view of the length,
breadth, depth and general profundity of
the sparkler, both parties incontinently
"smiled"

months at the furthest, the Iron Horse
