CoURT rs OVER p On Saturday
terminated ono of tho mcst trying
and disgraccful visitations that q res
pectablo community has ever been
callod upon to endure. An infliction,
the contemplation of which was ne
vcr entertained, and the reality of
which wo suppose could scarcely have
been conceived of by tho most ardont
and thorough reconstructionist Of all
tho now regime. Nine days of tho
twelve occupied in tho session were
consumed in tho murder case, a.case
unparalleled almost in the annals of
murder, the murder of an inoffensive,
harmless old man, brutally struck
down in the dead Of night while on
his round of duty as watohmap at the
Neyberry depot, and whose body was
thrown out to become, a feast Of raw
enous hogs. A murder that was &C
kaowledgsd and confessed by two of
tho prisoners, and proven ION at least
three of the four. And to-day these
arch criminals stand uneonyicted, re-
mahded to jail on a mis.trial ! There
is no safety for life or property, now
that justice is prostitutcd. The priv
iiege Of challenging tho jury was car.
ried to an extent which never. before
was known to this court, and gave
grrenE pain 10 ths community; and .
Repetition Of which, it Is hoped, Will
never again. be witnessed.-Nerbtrry

WALKING ERECT.

Walking ercctly not only adds to
the manliness of appearance, but de-
vclopes the chest and promotes the
general health in a high degree, bo.
cause the lungs, being relieved of the
pressure mado by having tho head
downward and bonding the chest in
admit tho air freely and fully down
to their very bottom. If an effort OF
tho mind is made to throw the
shoulders back, q feeling Of tircdness
and awkwardness is soon experienced,
or it is forgotten. Tho use of braces
to hold up the body is necessarily
pornicious, for thore can be no braces
which do not press upon somo part of
the person moro than is quite natural;
hence it cannot fail to impede iniu.
riously the circulation of that part.
But were there mono of these objec-
tions, the brace would adapt itself to
tho bodily position, like q hat, or shoe,
or now garment, and. would cease to
be brace.
Ia seek to maintain an erect posi-
tioe, or to recover it when lost: in O
manner which is at once natural,
easy and efficient, it is only necessary

tho top of a mans hat, or simply

line, or, it will answer to walk with
your hands behind you; if either o.
these things is done, the necessary
easy and legitimate effect is to- relieve
the chest from pressure, the air gets
in moro easily, develops it more fully
and permeates the lungs moro, exten

their wares than now. Every one has be-
or how soon the war may terminate, we
shall all have a more intimate knowledge of
the geography of Europe than ever before.
As showing how differently the war is re-

it is interesting to compare the maps first
published and those being issued now
The first maps showed the eastern border of
great minuteness the later, maps give US
little of Germany but all of France.

RvENUE AMENDMENTS the
lst of October several new revenue amend
ments come into effect of more or less inte-
rest to the public generally. After the lst
of October the stamp tax imposed in schedule
B, on promissory notes fo- less sum than
one hundred dollars, and on receipts for any
sum of money, or for the payment of any
debt, is repealed, and no stamp shall be
required upon the transfer, or assignment
of mortgage where it or the instrument
it secures has been once duly stamped. 9th
er changes have been made, but the ones
we have noted have more bearing on every
day transactions, and the people we think
will recognize the wise purpose in making
the notifications, especially, that one in re-
| gard to stamping receil is, which has always
been considered nuisance loudly calling for
abatement.

A SETTLER.-In a clergyman's fam

A SETTLER.-In clergyman's fam
lily of our acquaintance are two little boys,
aged three and five respectively, whom their
mother endeavors to train in the way a min
ister's boss should go. Upon retiring at
night they have always been accustomed to
repeat the little prayer which is taught to
every child. Not long since, however,
their mother began to think they were old
enough to use language of their own instead,
and so one night she explained the matter
to them aud undertook to illustrate her
meaning by praying herself using the plain
est, simplest words she could, and combining
herself principally to the little every day
affairs which interested them. But no soon
er had she got well started than the elder
boy expressed his disgust, and put an end
to the exercises, by exclaiming with great
emphasis and impotence, "Oh what a tool
ish prayer"
