submitted some points to the Judge for
the consideration of the jury, and the
Court took recess.
At aquarter past O'Clock the Court
re-asseInbIed, and Judge Davis COM

The Judges charge terminated at
4:35 P. NJ, having lasted exactly three
hours. Mr.. Iremaine took special eX-
ception to his honOr's condemnation of
what he called emotional insanity.
Judge Davis said he used the very Ian
guage of the Court of Appeals. Mr..
Tremaine said he specially objected to
the expression that the evidence of in
sanity was very meagre, and asked to
have the question submitted to the
jury.
Judge Davis said he had submitted it
to them within the law. Mr.. Tremaine
also took exceptions to the remark that
insanity as rule involves delusion,
and that the prisoners ideas seemed to
have been based upon reality; and to
his Honor saying the other holes in the

do it; don't fight the laying down of a
new sidewalk because you have to pay
your share. Of the expenses; keep your
capital at home, patronize home indus
tries, help your merchants to sell more
so that they may sell cheaper, always
get your work done in your own town

row these suggestions, and your town
does not improve and build up, it will
