From the Transcript 4.feitm sdr
A case illustrating in a somewhat re-
markable manner the gradations OF guilt
In manslaughter occurred at the recent
Lewis (England) assizes. Mr.. Black
burn said that he had more than once
sought to define where ordinary negll-
gence begins; but that he had always
found great difficulty in so doing. Such
a definition is much assisted by the case
where gentleman Of somewhat eccen-
tric habits, while walking IN the public
thorouehfare, swinging one OF his arms,
struck a little girl ten years of age on
The shoulder. The girl fell, and her
head came in contact with a lamp post.
She died from the etfcts of the fall In
less than a fortnight. The girl was not
seen by the defendant at the time
The mishap occurred, and the sole
question was whether he had been guilty
Of culpable negligence in unduly swing
IND his arm in a public thoroughfare;
The coroner's jury returned verdict Of
accidental death; but the unfortunate
cause OF the accident was indicted at the
assizes for manslaughter. He was ac-
Quilted but not until the judge had re-
fused TO withdraw the case from the
iury 20

The Lewisburg Border JoTna! urges
its friends to attend the polls on the
9th inst. and vote for the FLICK
amendment. 1t says: "the Democrats
here are unanimously in favor Of the
ratification of this amendment, and
whilst we have not heard Republican
saw that he would vote for rejection,
we are well advised that the bitter
enders' intend, however. secretly to do
so. Because.we are confident, we should
not be careless" The advice is timely
and prudent. The friends Of the
amendment must not take for granted
that it will be ratified without serious
opposition. There is danger that there
will not be many superfluous or I'M
necessary votes in its favor and that its
friends cannot afford the hazard OF
STAYING at home and neglecting to cast
their ballots. From present indications
of the intention of "the bitter-enders,
the ratification of the amendment will
demand active canvassing and earnest
work.
