LOCAL NOTICES.

Rebellion in the Human INTERIOR
Rebellions are not confined to bodies polite. They
break out in our own interiors as well as in the
:" bowels Of the land" The natural law Of our
bodies is health, but we misuse them, and they re-
volt. We subject them to exposure, we oTertask
them, we overload the stomach, we neglect the
bowels, we plunge out Of rooms hotter than the
tropics into an atmosphere below freezing point,
and in various other ways triae with our health.
But these frames Of ours are wonderful ma
chimes, and we can, by the use Of the PROPER
MEANS, so I~NVIGORATE and REGULATE
them as to render them almost proof against the
ordeals to which, in our recklessness, we subject
them.
Nothing that has ever been known or heard Of as
a tonic adds SO much to the resistant power of the
human system under circumstances unfavorable
to health as H-OSTETTER's STOMACH BITTERs.
II you would escape the intermittent fs7ers. fits
Of Indigestion, bilious attacks, and bowel COM
plants, of which cold and damp are the frequent
causes, use the BITTERs as . PROTECTIVE
MEDICINE. This is the wisest course; but II
already an invalid, try the preparation as a RE-
sTORATIVE. In either case, full reliance may
be placed upon its efficacy. Sold everywhere

MEAsURE oF PROOF.

The prisoner at the bar stands charged by
the Indictment with the wilful, deliberate,
premeditated and malicious murder of Tam
zen Parsons in the County Of Cuyahoga, and
State of Ohio, on the 9Th day of August,
1865, by shooting her in the back Of the
neck with a pistol ball.
To this indictment a plea of not guilty
has been entered in behalf of the prisoner,
and this constitutes the issue which you are
empannelled and sworn to try.
The States asserts that he is guilty, as
charged in the Indictment; this he denies /;
the burden of proof rests upon the State,
and it is ipcumben6aaeRthe prosecution to
prove his guilt bey5hd@E reasonable doubt,
Of some one of the offences, Of which 1t IS
possible to convict under this indictment,
and if it has failedto make such proof 1t be-
comes your duty to return a verdict OF not
guilty.
1t is proper that I should my
charge as to the law governing the case, by
calling your attention to some OF the dis
tinctions between the rules of evidence and
the measure Of proof which obtain in civil
and criminal cases. In a civil cast the mind
of each Juror should be as a sheet OF white
paper, or a-eIean slate, without any pre-
sumption for or against either party. But
in q criminal case, such as this, 1t is the duty
of the jury to presume the defendant to be
innocent until he is proven by the evidence
in the case to be guilty. In civil cases
when a party has made out his case by a
circumference of all the evidence in the
case, or by the l0eight of the evidence, as it
is sometimes termed, he is entitled to a yer
dict in his favor. But in criminal cases the
State is not entitled to q verdict OF guilty
a mere preponderance of evidence, but
to warrant a conviction the evidence must
establish the guilt of the defendant beyond
a reasonable doubt.
Applvipg these rules to the case in hand,
il becomes your duty upon taking your
seats as jVyQTs, to presume that the PTisQasr

COLLISION ON THE BUFFALO AMI
ERIE ROAD.
VERY PAINFUL RUMoRs.
NOT SO BAD AS REPORTED.

The train due here from Erie at 9:S5 last
night had not arrived at l A. NJ. this morn
ing, and the most intense anxiety was man
ifested on the part of those who were ex-
pecting friends from the East. Inquiry, in
several quarters as to the cause of the de-
tendon, was answered that an accident had
occurred somewhere on the road, and that
three were killed and wounded. The real
facts of the case, as we learned upon appli-
cation at the Lake Shore Road Telegraph
Office two a. N, was that two freight trains
collided neal Dunkirk, without loss of life,
and that the passenger train would not
reach here until five this morning.

We will now ask your attention to the
technical meaning of term Malice, as used in
the statutory definition of murder.
As used here, malice includes not only
hatred, ill-will and revenge, but every other
unlawful and unjusti6able motive. 1t is
not confined to i'll will towards any. one OF
more individuals, but it is evidenced by any
action proceeding from a wicked and cor
rupt motive. To justify a conviction for
murder, it is not necessary to show that the
slayer entertained a malicious sentiment,
or spite and ill-will especially towards the
person slain-but it is sufficient if the evil
dence proves ageneral malignity, a deprav-
ed inclination to dangerous and deadly
