The TaylOr.MacKcy Murder Trial.

The trial of Joseph Fl. Taylor who is
charged with the drowning of Robert A.
Mackey in Drawers creek, in July last,
was begun in the court at New Castle on
Friday. A jury was obtained without diff
Guilty, and the examination of witnesses for
the State was begun, and was prosecuted
all day Saturday. The meeting of Taylor
and Mackey at Newark; their departure
from that place and arrival at Christiana;
Mackey being under the influence of liquor;
their appearance at St. Georges, and Tay-
lor's violent thrusting of his alleged victim
into the buggy to drive away; their con-
duct all along the route, Taylor's being
very unnatural; the approach Of the buggy
to the bridge, Mackey being so drunk that
he could not sit up but leaned over upon
finding of Mackey's dead body; Taylor's
arrival alone at Odessa, Townsend, Middle
town, and his return to St. Georges; his
trades and suspicious conduct after the
drowning of Mackey; his flight to the
West; his recapture and return to the au-
thorities of the State-were all detailed in
such a manner as to make strong case
against the prisoner.
The argument of counsel was concluded
on Wednesday morning. The testimony
was closed on both sides on Monday, and
Deputy Attorney General Hodgson made
the greater part of his address to the jury
that afternoon. Almost the whole of Tues
day was consumed in argument by the
counsel for the defence, Messrs. VIM. G.
Whitley aud Thomas F. Bayard, but At
torney General Pennington was able to
begin the closing address, and by protract-
ing the session into the night, concluded at
an early hour on Wednesday morning,
when the Court charged the jury and they
retired.
Once during the afternoon they came in
to Court for instructions as to their right
to bring in verdict of murder in the
second degree, which being answered af-
Tentatively, they again retired. At that
time it was understood the jury stood all
for conviction, but divided as to degree
seven being in favor of the first and five of
the second.
LATER.-As we go to press the news
reaches us that the jury have not agreed,
but stand seven for acquittal and five for
conviction.

A VOICE FROM PHILADKLPHIA.-If there
is any one thing that we hate worse than
another, it is haggling in trade. To waste
ten minutes time and sweet temper buying
waistcoat, and then feel an assurance
that we have been "bit" in the bargain,
is sore trial of grace. The great Cloth
ing House of Wanamaker & Brown, cor
ner Sixth and Market streets, Philadelphia
have expunged the word "haggle ~ from
their dictionary. For the Fall and Winter
trade, every garment of their enormous
stock, filling 81 rooms, is distinctly marked
with label, stating the name and charac-
ter of the materials, and tile only price at
which it can be bought. The great firm
also gives signed Guarantee of the quail
ity of the article, and stands pledged there
in to take it back and refund the cash, if
within ten days it is rendered by the pur-
chaser. Of all the strides that business
experience and business tact have conceiv-
ed to bring buyer and seller together, this
of OAK HALL is the greatest But every
reader will peruse their remarkable adver-
tisement in our present issue.
