lie was jovial, ghtheartcd man,
a careful, correct, energetic Business

Oct. 18th, 1871, he committed suicide.
The coroner's jury found that he

time of bis death he held two poll

the company by the Administrator,
who, in his petition, alleged that the

OF the act, took his own life. The
defendant admitted that the deceased
died by his own hand, but denied
that he was insane, and the case was

Transplanting Tress In
Autumn,

Properly, the time for removing
declduous trees (lf in the fall) is as
soon after tho wood is ripcned as
possible, and it duo care is taken not
to mutilate the roots nor allow them
to dry, successful result may be
counted on. Always strip off every

be performed long before The lrosts
loosen the foliage.
One reason for such early planting
is that roots are never wholly iIae.
and during the mild days OF aatunn
they hre constantly pushing an' .

decided against iall planting Tor
evcrgreens, constant failure OF this
season having fully demonstrated the
evil effects of the practic. But here
again comes in the value of tho
earlincss we advise. Everygreens
require much longer period before
cold weather to prepare for tho
change; hence II set out early, say
in the beginning Of August, success
is sure. How well this fact is known
to European nurserymen is shown by
their very general habit oftransplant-
ing III early August, aud in this coun.
try we are just now awakening to q
realizing sease that they are right.
We know tho objection urged
against stripping off the foliage at the
time of Lransplanting, but it is not
serious operation after all, and by
50 dong any tree can be trans.
planted at any time with reasonable
success, although during the grow.
ing period Of Juns and July the
young and immature shoots should
be removed as well. Transplanling
at SO very early a period We do net
recommend, except in extreme cases,
but 1t can be done, ana Is done, by

never forget that the roots once dry
rarely, if ever, recover hence, as
soon as they are out of the ground,
wrap them IN damp cloths.

was conclusively insane, merely be
cause he committed suicide. Some
OF the jurors answered in The affirm
ative, and these men were on defen.
dant's motion, excluded from the iu.
ry, and their places filed from the
PANEL. The plaintiff produced sew
eral witness, who testified that a
great and marked change had come
over Hogan the latter part OF his
life. That for the last six months
prior to his decease, he had been
moody and respondent at times.
Thst he acted as though he " had the
blues" That from an affectionate
parent and husband he had changed
to morose, irritable man, subject TO
fits OF anger. That during the last
years OF his life he had complained
of heavy pains in the back part OF
his head quite frequently. That at
such times he was very violent in his
manner, striking his wife, threatening
her life, and treating her harshly, and
afterwards denying all remembrance
or knowledge OF such actions. Ply
.sicians were also introduced, who, as
experts testified that IN their opinion
Hogan was insane. The defense ad-
mitted that decelent was at times
respondent, during the last year OF
his life, but explained the cause by
showing that his family relations at
home wero very unpleasant, and that
bis pecuniary embarrassments alone
were OF so severe character that
they were sufficient to account tor
his moody and melancholy fits. That
he was defauiter, to large extent,
to the Express Company, for which
he worked. That he had embezzled
a $500 money package, and that the
Express Company were tracing the
matter up, and that exposure was
imminent at any moment. That he
tried to borrow the money of vari
Gus parties, to make up his deficit to
the Express Company. That he sta
ted to one of his most intimate
friends the day before his death that
he must have this money, or he was
a ruined man. That he failed to get
1t. That the morning of his death a
Superintendent OF the Express Com
pany came to Boone very unexpect
xanina Hnuan's
accounts. That about eleven O'Clock
that day he committed suicide. That
he gave as reason that family re.
la,ions were unpleasant; that he had
no money and no friends, and that
he had made up his mlnd to end his
life.
The jury were out about half an
hour, and returned general verdict
for the defendant, and answered as
special findings that Hogan volunta-
rily and wllllullY took his own life,
and that he knew at the time he shot
himself that the act would result in
his death.
The plaintiff made motion for a
new trial, which came up before tho
court on the 18th inst, aud was ov-
erruled and judgment rendered upon
the verdict.
This settles an important point as
to suicide and insurance in Iowa, and
is, in fact, the first barrier that has
been interposed in tho West to the
common plea OF insanity in actions
on insurance policies. - Dubuque

Watching their opportunity to take advan
tage of the poverty of our people and to
pounce down upon their meager earnings.
1t is this gang that are hanging around
the capitol of youe great State, button
holing your Representatives, whispering
softly into their ears and using every art
and machination to decoy them into the
prosecution of their schemes. But it won't
go. The present Legislature is proof
against their Infamous schemes.
The bitterest opposers to the redemption
of this issue are "rebesn-men who wore
the gray" and fought manfully for the
"lost cause They are furious in its de-
nunciation. I heard one of them publicly
remark in hotel that when he was far
down in Dixie" fighting the battles of
the tottering confederacy, living hard and
exposed to death in all its forms, he con-
trived to send back some of this very TOR
bett issuen to his suffering and furnishing
family, with which to buy bread and meat
and no one would take it and thus give re-
lief to n distressed family. He said he
would die-repudiate--do anything before
he would suffer himself to be taxed to re
deem this money, merely for the purpose
of putting it into the pockets of those who
stayed at home while he was fighting and
his family suffering and who refused to re-
ceive il in payment of "meat bills' for his
wife and helpless children. This is the
way the rebels are talking. 1t is no party
measure. 1t is not Jumped up" by the
radicals, as some would suppose. And
reputation is loudly whispered. One
member of the Senate, (rebeD boldly an
nounced that if the Supreme Court declar-
ed the matter Constitutional and thus
forced the State to pay it, then he was for
open reputation. He urged that the PEG
pie were as much bound to redeem Confed-
crate Treasury notes as this issue. Both
were issued to sustain the sinking Confed-
eracy. ALONZO DANTE,

GENTLEMEN: 1t is gratifying to at least
some of your readers to know that the
CHRONICLE is the friend of education, and
the earnest advocate of free schools. The
people are anXiously expecting the Legis-
lature to give us a good system of COM
mon schools, and will be sadly disappoint
ed without it. Let our Legislators give US
this, and they will immortalze them
selves. Enclosed you will find petition to
the Legislature of Tennessee which citi-
zens of all classes in Sullivan county are
signing. | is hoped that the citizens of
every county in the State will do like
wise.
We must educate or perish. If there is
room in your columns, please, for the sake
of this noble cause, publish the petition
entire. y THINKER.
To the Honorable the Legislature of the
State of Tennessee, at Nashville assem-
bled:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Sulli-
van county, in said State, would most re-
spectfully invite the attention of your
honorable body to the necessity of enact
ing law securing to the people of this
State an efficient system of common
schools, What the people want is u sys-
tenn of common schools free enough and
broad enough to reach every individual
within the limits of the State, and give
him all the essentials of n thorough, prac-
teal education.
How almost fearful is the ignorance
which everywhere prevails! How few
paratively, can write neat, uniform
and symmetrical, not to say legible hand /;
how few there are who habitually speak or
write their mother tongue with any near
approach to rhetorical or even grammati-
cal correctness and still fewer there are
whose photography is uniformly correct,
and whose elocutiOn is decent Similar
deficiencies are universally felt and ac-
| knowledged to exist in respect to all the
other departments of common school edu-
cation. Very many persons are unable to
write their names. This state of things is
! lamentable and should not be suffered to
continue We should have good schools
| in we'll constructed, well arranged school
| houses The school house should he the
! pride Of the neighbOrhOod. 1t is the in
! dex of the educational standing of the
community. In the language of Dr. Tai
madge, The school house is the symbol
| of the peoples culture. For defense, it is
better than Notifications of rockefeller
than batteries to guard the harbor-than
armies to defend the treasuries-than ma
vies to guard the seas. More learned in
situations may and ought to be built, but
! the school house must neuer be neglected. ~
! Viewing the matter in this light, as we
do, and feeling deep interest in the pro
gress of Tennessee rs Il great State in the
road to knowledge, honor, wealth and
power, we do most respectfully and earn
estly petition your honorable body to en-
act taw which shall carry into success
full operation n good and efficient system
of common schools throughout this State,
and, as in duty bound, we will ever pray,

iacturc, sale, and drinking Intoxicating
