fer, if it cannot offer churches and
schools, it will never be settled by
the better classes Of society, or by
any stable population. So far fiom
there being any influx Of population,
where there is wanting either church
or school, it will be found that, as
children begin to grow up, families
begin to move away in order that
the children may be put to good
schools. And SO population actu-
ally degenerates instead Of ilnprov-
ing. It does not merely suffer dim
mutton. But it is reduced to a COM

such as are too poor to get away
Let us not be reduced to the condi-

We do not know how it appears to
to lawyer, but to our mind it has al
ways seemed that our juries should
have three verdicts within their use
guilty, not guilty and not proved. The
Scotch law, we believe, has this third
verdict. A jury is often perfectly we'll
satisfied that man is guilty, but have
not quite sufficient proof to permit
them so to pronounce. Although thus
convicted, the law compels them to
return the false verdict that they have
found the criminal not guilty. Itwould
appear that truth and good govern.
ment would be better served. and not
half so many. but escaping, criminals
vanished under the hand of helpless
iurtice, if juries could use verdict oil
not proved. We don't insist that this
