The sequel to the brief trial of the as

fonr of the persons who were arrested,
tried and found guilty, were hanged by
the neck until they were dead, in a prison
yard in the National Capital. No one that
kept tolerably well posted an the evidence

tho Conrt which investigated the case

well doubt; but there has been painful
apprehension from the first that in some

that much of the horse racing partakes

Eight Hours a Day.

In discussing the attempt to reduce the
hours of labor per day, from ten to eight,
Horace Greedy says:
"For our own part, We have never yet
been able to limit our own hours of labor
to sixty per week, and should contemplate
their reduction TO that number as well

ing physical energies; yet we cannot
realize that our work is less arduous or less
deserving than that of mechanics, or artisans
But we believe i'll Progress-in q better

Millions than they have endured in the
past and we see 10 reason why muscua
exertion should be as continuous. rs ex
hausting, after as before the stupendous
labor saving inventions and devices of the
present century"
Thirty years ago mechanics and laborers
worked from sun to sun for day. Thi,
was toe much. 1t was too hard task on
the physical system. We recollcct to
have heard wag remark some twenty five
years since that 'ship-carpenters worked
three tides for day" Long after thi,
the ten hour system came in vogue, which
seems to be about right for all concerned
Yet under this easy rule in some places q
further reduction is contemplated. But
what is observable, is the point raised by
the Tribune editor, "that he could not sec
that his work is less arduous OF less dcserv.
ing than that of the mechanic" SO VIC
might say of the merchant, and others
1t seems to us that if all the working PEG.
pie, those that have only to work ten hours
per day and have no other cares or duties
to engross their time, are the least hard
worked of all. The minister, the lawyer,
the legislator, the judge, the merchant,
the business man, most Of them, like the
ship carpenter in olden times, "work
three tides for day."

freer and deeper, not because the people
are blood thirsty and naturally cruel, but
because the crime which the persons who
have occupied SO much of our thoughts de-
served death, if such a penalty was ever
earned by humah being. There We're no
extenuating circumstances in the case
The crime was not committed in haste, nor
under the strong and oterpowering work
ings of passion, nor under sense of deep
wrong committed against them or theirs;
nor because they were laborihg under a
religious monomania, but, on the contra
ry. the decd was planned beforehand, de-
liberately, and the hellish plot consuumat-
ed with the sang troid Of unfeeling CAM

Chamberlain offers for sale his interest in
the " Ellsworth House," of this village.

" We can all sympathize with the
suflerings of the ill-treated horse,
but no touch of pity for the driver can
ever reach our hearts. Even if he had
staggered and fallen from his carriage and
blocked the highway with his own lifeless

been awakened into mu,h activity. The
poor horse had suffered enough, and death
ended his misery, but not so the miserable
driver, He had been spared. his eonsci-

ence will yet do its duty. And may the
ghost of the noble animal haunt him IN

The minister then uttered brief pray
