THE New York Tribune says the reason why
Plantation Bitters are SO generally used is ow-
ing to the fact that they are always made up
to the original standard, and of pure materials
let the price be what twill. The Tribune hits
the nail ON the head, for Plantation Bitters are
not only made of pure material, but the peo-
ple are told what they are made OF, as the

ACCIDENT. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Angus
tus TAFT of Stroudwater attempted to hitch his
horse in Market Square by means ofa chain
and hook attached to a post, when the horse,
which was quite young frightened probably bv
the rattling of the chain, started off. Mr.. TAFT
seized the bride when the horse threw his
head back quickly, bursting the head-stall,
and went through Elm street into Congress
like a flash of lightning with Mr.. TAFT cling
ing to him. In turning the corner into Con-
gress street, Mr.. TAFT was thrown off and the
carriage, a top buggy, ran over him bruisng
his face and legs pretty badly. The top of the
buggy was also knocked off and the horse made
bolt for the yard in front of the old Longfel-
low house. As the wagon struck the curb
stone the horse cleared himself from his har-
ness and slipped on the sidewalk and went
head foremost through the fence-breaking
three or four rails-into the yard, where he
was secured. For about five minutes the af-
fair created quite sensation in that vicinity.

The DEGREE or PROOF REQUISITE TO Sus-
TAIN THE Defence OF INsANITY.-In the
case of Delasky, convicted yesterday, in the
Superior Court, of assault with intent to rob,
Judge Goddard, in charging the jury, observed
that the law presumed every person on trial
under criminal charge to be sane, and, (if of
suitable age,) to possess sufficient reason to be
responsible for his crimes, unless the contrary
is shown. That it had been said on very high
authority that the prisoner must establish his
insanity By clear proof to the satisfaction of the
jury, OF his defence fails. That this was, sub
stantially, the doctrine laid down by Judge
Clifford of the U. S. Court, on his opinion IN
the case of Holmes, convicted in this city in
1868 of murder on the high seas. Such is also
understood to be the opinion of the fifteen
Judges of England, as given in the House of
Lords in 1S43, in reply to questions propound
ed to them on this subject, and it is believed
that this has been usually understood to be the
law in both countries.
But the Judge said he could not reconcile it
with the principle, that prisoner is to be pre-
sumed innocent until found guilty beyond all
reasonable doubt. Because if a reasonable
doubt of prisoners sanity is raised by the
evidence and remains on the jurors minds, it
would seem that most important element of
his guilt has not been established beyond a
reasonable doubt.
Therefore the Judge said that he could not go
farther for the Government on this point than
to say, that if the evidence left on their minds
reasonable doubt of the prisoners sanity, ir
would be their duty to acquit, but that they
should be careful that the doubt is reasonable,
and that they clearly understand what the law
recognizes as insanity.
This, he defined to be such defect of reason,
from disease of the mind, as that the patient
did not know the nature and quality of the act
he was doing, or if he did know it, that he did
not know that he was doing wrong.
But that he is not to be excused from re-
sponsibility if he had, at the time he committed
the act, sufficient capacity and reason to ena-
BILE him to distinguish between right and
wrong, as to the particular act he was then DO
ing-a knowledge and consciousness that the
act was wrong and criminal and would subject
him TO punishment

returned q verdict of 0uiltu

Nasty on the Fenee.

Rev. Petroleum v. Nasty has been
greatly exercised in mind concerning

He has more than half made up his
mind to go for the "Conshtooshnel
Amendment" solely for the benefit of
the Democracy; for if there be truth
in the declaration that the niger is
an inferior race" the Democracy
never fail to get possession of the in
ferior classes. He says:
Nov the question which agitates
