Editors, Magistrates and One Alder

Before Judge Gilbert.
It was rumored about the Court House during
the past week that the Grand Jury had under con-
sideration the cases OF two New York editors and
several Justices OF the Peace OF Brooklyn, who
were charged with libel and malieasance re-
spectiyely Yesterday the GRAND Jury appeared
in Court and presented indictments against Charles
A. Dana, OF the sun. and Whitelaw Reid, OF the
the Tribune, for libel; Sherin Williams and ex-
Sheriff Walter for fraud; Justices Delmar, Riley
and Elliott Tor malfeasance. and Alderman Wylie,
OF the Seventh ward, for libel also. The alleged
libel in the case OF Dana Is that on the 18th OF Sep
tember last he published an article entitled "The
Flight OF the SwIndlers." vilifying Judge McCue
aud William 9. Kingsley. Reid is charged with
Publishing libelous articles on Daniel Cnauncey
and Judge McCue in connection with the Trust
Company's deIalcation accusing them OF COM
pounding q felony. Williams and Walter are ac-
cused OF frauds on the county by overchargng for

for board for mythical prisoners The justices are
alleged to have been in coliusion with them, while

A point was reached In the Stokes case yestcr-

regal tournament, the testimony OF witnesses for
and against and its submission to the final trib-
unal-upon all the facts in the case as they have
been presented-the jury or twelve good men and
sworn to true deliverance make between the
people and the prisoner at the par. The testimony
yesterday was rebutting and re-rebuttng. without
injury to the .'buttedn one way or the other. The
testimony that Fisk did not carry pistol as gen.
eral practice was perhaps pretty well established.
In the medical testimony Doctor Woods testified
as TO his connection with the case and his having
advised the utmost care in giving choroform to
deceased, but on the other hand believe that Fisk
died from the effect of the wound. He agreed with
other medical witnesses, however, in the import
ant point that the wound not necessarily fatal,
and that there were hopes OF recovery The whole
OF the testimony being in, 1t is supposed that the
summing up to the jury and the charge of the Judge
may not occupy more than Monday, and that the

KING OF THE BLOOD.

For SwELLED NECK AND ENLARGED
GLANDS. CAsE.-For several years past,
have been badly afflicted with Goitre, or
Swelled Neck, and it had become so bad
that an effort to raise my arms above my
head produced choking sensation, which
was almost uncomfortable. After trying
several remedies with no benefit, was ad-
vised to try King of the Blood, which
did, and the effect has been almost mirac-
ulous. I took nearly seven bottles, and it
has not only cured my neck, but greatly
benefited my general health. l have not
felt so we'll for years. l have been troub-
led from childhood with fatty tumors on
my arms. and can see the wonderful eff
fects of your medicine upon those, for they
have already begun to diminish, and think
that if l continue on with the medicine,
they will entirely disappear.
With gratitude, remain,

GREENF1ELD, O., june 4th, 1873

GREENFIELD, O., june 4th, 1873.
EDS. HERALD:-The commencement exer-
cises of the Greenfield High School took
place in the Methodist Church last night
Quite number of the citizens of Washing
ton graced the house with their presence.
The exercises of the evening were of the
most interesting and fattering character,
and reflected credit upon the management
of the school. The commencement was
opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Car
ruthers.
The productions of the graduates were
entirely original, save and except the in
d ulgence in occasional quotations, and gave
proof of careful examination and thorough
knowledge of their several themes. Each
essay seemed to be especially appropriate
for the occasion.
Each graduate acquitted herself and
himself so completely that it would scarce
ly be fair to indulge in any personal dis
elimination. Miss Nettie FelIers read the
first essay, entitled Higher, still Higher
Her voice was clear and bold. Her effort
was carefully composed. and called forth
the attentive consideration of her audience,
and was a great credit to the lady. She
was followed by Miss Annie Eckman with
Our Destiny which was written in an
easy, flowing style. 1t was perspicuous
arsumentive and full of dpathos. Miss
Eckm an read distinctly, and it was plain
enough that she was familiar with her sub
ject. Mr.. John ]. Hyer, discussed the
Spirit Of the Age" His manuscript was
rather of historical character. "Where
is the Landing" was rendered by Miss
Josie Elliott. 1t was well written and
well read. Miss E.'s reference to her sue
cess, ought always to be one Of pleasure.
Standing on the Brink by Miss Clara
Young, was terse, and contained many
excellent points. Miss Fannie Aliens dis
sertation, entitled Excelsior was read in
an easy, graceful style, characteristic Of
the lady. The language was of the choicest
character. Miss Aliens recent illness pre-
vented her from reading as loud as she
might otherwise have done. Miss Lizzie
Hyer's consideration of the subject, From
Chaos in Cosmos" was literary produc-
ton of which that lady may express feel
ings of pride. She gives evidence of in
tellectual ability. She handled her sub
ject gracefully, and with peculiar ease.
The delivery of diplomas by J. B. Pain,
the Superintendent was accompanied with
a neat and appropriate speech. 1t is proper
to state here, that this graduating class has
been under the tutorage of Miss Laura
McGarraugh, the accomplished principal OF
the High School. Miss NJ. is a most
brilliant scholar and her superior talents,
her generous devotion to the interests of
her pupils and unassumed urbanity, emf
nently fits her for the arduous and re-
sponsible position she now holds. She
has won for herself the most profound es-
TEEN of her scholars. Miss NJ. is probably
the youngest teacher holding a like posi-
ton in every respect in this State.
