silas, followed in buggy with the gun pur-
chased by Abrams. Young and his wife were
murdered and the murderers fled to Indianap-
oils in the manner described.
Mrs. Clem was first tried in the fall of 1868,
and but for the obstinacy of German juror,
who stood out for conviction against eleven for
acquittal, she would have gone scot tree. Up
on the second trial she was convicted and SEN
fenced to the States Prison for life. Her BROTH
er Silas-who had testified in her behalf, and
had been detected in dozen perjuries concern
ing his whereabouts on the day OF the murder
committed suicide in Jail, the night OF her
conviction, by cutting his throat with razor.
Abrams was then tried, and convicted OF muir
der in the first degree-.the proof of the pnr-
chase of the gun by him, few hours before
the murder, being clear and conclusive; also
his dividing the money with Mrs. Clem after
the murder. The Supreme Court reversed the
Judgment against Mrs. Glenn and gave her
new trial, upon shallow technicality that led
many ignorant people to believe that the court
had been corrupted Her counsel took
change of venue, and she was tried the third
time at Lebanon, Boon County, Indiana; the
trial resulted in divided jury. The fourth
and last trial has Just been concluded by YER
dict of guilty, with asentence of Imprisonment
for life. Thus has ended one of the most re-
markabIe chapters in the history of the crimi-
nal jurisprudence of this country. We doubt
if even the celebrated Webster case furnished
stronger illustration Of the efficacy and relia,
bility Of connected chain of circumstantial
evidence. At first it was pronounced incredi-
Bile that Mrs. Cem should have had any con-
nection with the murder of her two friends,
but little by little the truth came to light until
her guilt was so clearly revealed that no intel
ligent mind could doubt it after carefully con-
sidering the facts.

Thank God for Sunday.

Now God be thanked that he has given
Blest boon to saint and sinner
A day of rest-one day in seven
Where toll is not the winner;'
Rest for the tired and jaded brain,
The wearied hand on Sunday,
That they might gather strength again
For toll renewed on Monday.
The merchant in his counting-room,
The clerk DER desk and ledger,
The artisan at forge and loom,
The ditcher and the hedger-
The laborer, who must toll and slave
From early dawn on Monday
Until the week sink in its grave,
AL cry: "Thank God for SundayW
The day that lifts the weighty chain
Which all the week hath bound us;
That respite gives to heart and brain,
From thousand cares around us;
That in the toilsome march Of life
So bids us take, for one day,
Rest from the battle and strife,
Oh! God be thanked for Sunday
If thus by all one day of rest
Be hailed, as respite solely,
How to the Christian, doubly blest,
Must be the Sabbath holy;
AS, in faiths light, he lifts his eyes
TO the bright world where, one day,
He longs to spend beyond the skies,
A blest eternal Sunday

Losses by the Late Disasters.

New YORK, Sept "A complete list of
passengers of the steamer Bienvile, which was
burned at sea, shows that there were sixty-two
persons which with the crew. would make
about ninety two persons on board. Of this
number there are thrty-six still to be heard
from. Seven persons were drowned when one
of the boats capsized and nine more we're
drowned in the surf at Eleuthera. 1t is hoped
that the thirty six in the boat not yet heard
from have been saved, as there has been but
little wind and slight sea and the boat is adrift
in one of the great highways ofcommerce where
it is likely to be picked up
A Stonington dispatch says one hundred and
seven have been saved trom the wreck Of the
Metis. twenty-five are known to be dead and
twenty-three are missing. 1t is probable that
the bodies at Watch Hill which are unidentl-
fed will be buried Monday.

COUNTY CoURT-REMovAL OF THE CLERK.
-.Imlge e. II CockeriNe presiding.
met at II a m.
The rule against G. G. Seaton, clerk of this
Court, issued at August term returnahle at the
first day of this term, to show cause why he
should not be removed from Office for malteas-
ance and gross neglect of duties, having been
executed, the clerk, by his counsel, Messrs
Steuart and Smoot, moved to quash the rule
upon the ground that it was defective in two
particulars first, because the clerk of this
Court, is, by operation OF law, clerk of the Cir
cult Court of Alexandria county, and has charge
of the papers &C., of that Court, and cannot be
removed by this Court; secondly, because the
rule is too indefinite and uncertain; that it
should set forth the particular neglect of duties
specifically charged against the respondent,
SO that be may have an opportunity to defend
himself: and these points having been argued
by the respondents counsel, the motion was
overruled. Thereupon the respondent under
oath, filed his written answer. The Judge then
said that the incompetency Of the present In
cumbent of the clerk office was apparent and
universally known; that the Court has personal
knowledge of the particular dereliction of du-
tics; that the Court had borne and forborne until
it had become SO disguised with the conduct Of
the business of the Office that 1t had no alterna
tive but to remove the respondent from his
office, and would enter the following order:
George Z. Seaton, clerk Of the County Court
appeared, under a rule issued from this Court,
to show cause why he should not be removed
from his Office as clerk aforesaid for malteasance
in office and gross incompetency, and upon a
hearing, 1t Is ordered that he be removed from
the performance of all the duties as clerk aaore-
said. David Hunter IS appointed clerk pro
ten of this Court in the place ofGeo. &. Sea-
ton removed, until his successor shall be duly
elected and qualified"
David Hunter qualified as clerk pro ten, ex-
ecuting the requisite official bond, with Samuel
llctiebower as security, and the Court pro-
cceded with the regular business.
TO the rule against the Supervisors OF the
county to show cause why they made allowances
10 the clerk of the Court, Sheriff and Common
wealth's Attorney for this county tor 1911,
without having said allowances ascertained by
the Court, the defendants, Smith, Wroe and
Decide, answered that they had not, at any
time, proceeded to make allowances to the par
ties named for the year 1871. The rule was
thereupon dismissed and new rule was issued
against the same, returnable at the next term of
the Court, to show cause why they made allow,
auces for the parties named for the year 1872
An application of " p. Corbett to open a
county road, was dismissed.

there were but seven vacancies left in Washing

thirty boys have since applied, but as the issue
of more than three hundred during the examl-
nation would embarrass the Principal IN his
grading and might exclude some who got their
permits at the proper time, the superintendent
directed the Clerk to issue no more permits ior
white boys until Saturday morning, by which
time it will have been ascertalned whether any
who have already obtained permits, will decline
using them, thus creating vacancies, as Is OFTEN
the case. 1t is the intention of the Superln,,
