LAST night about Ii O'Clock, Charles
Cook, Foreman OF the Car shop of the
milwaukee, s. St. Paul Railway Co., was
found dead on the crossing between the
warehouses, just south Of the passenger
depot. He was lying on his left side near
the track. He took his lantern and left
his house about 10 O'Clock telling his wife
that lie would so over to the office and
learn if there were any dispatches con-
corning the movement Of trains. 1t is
supposed that he died Of heart disease
He had been unwell for some time, and
only few days before was confined to
the house. He must have been dead near
ly an hour before lie was discovered, as
lie could have walked from home to the
point where he fell in five minutes time,
We have not learned whether an inquest
will he held Or not. Tie body exhibits
no marks Of violence. Mr. Cook was
about forty years old, sober, honest, ef:
ficient and faithful. He had been in tile
employ Of the company for several years.
He leaves wife who Is nearly distracted
on account of her loss. We have no in.
formation as to what disposal will he
made Of the remains.

The FAIR held in this city last Friday

The FAIR held in this city last Friday
was in many respects quite successful.
There was quite a show of horses end cat
tie, and variety Of other things usually
seen on such occasions. There Was one
particularly noticeable feature, viz. the
presence Of 4 great nuQber Of people WHO
came for the purpose of seeing the sights.
Many seemed inclined to attend the fair,
but not bring anything. Those who had
articles On exhibition and for sale, found
but little trouble in disposisg Of them at
satisfactory prices. So great did the ex-
element become that public sales were
continued during the following day with
very considerable success. We cannot
but regard the establishment Of monthly
fairs here g the opening Of negotiations

REV. MIR. WRIGHT, of the Congrega.
tional Church preached a sermon last Sab
bath, prepared he said, with special refer
ence to the children, and we know from
personal observation that he succeeded in
Interesting them, but we doubt whether
they were more deeply interested than
were the adult members of the congrega-
ton. The rarest jewels which the bible
contains shine brightest from its simplest
lines. The commandments, so-called,-
the prohibitions of the bible, are so self:
evidently just and reasonable as to COM
mend themselves at once to the judgment
and the conscience of every child that
can read the sentences with which they
arc clothed, while the promises accepted
IN simple faith and relied upon implicitly
impart degree Of satisfaction, and u
sense Of security not to be derived from
any thing else. These two departments
constitute the moral larder whence the
minds Of children draw their hcalthiest
allmeat, aud if properly taught-their
perpetual supplies. Not realizing this at
all times, ministers address themselves to
a consideration Of the apparent contra
dictions of the bible, its anomalous pas
sages, and the mysteries which it con-
tains. Such efforts are not altogether valu.
less as intellectual exercises. yet they sell
dom result in making the heart better;
There is only very little religion in any
sermon that does not excite pions emotion.
Men may have mental comprehension
of the christian system, may admit its
justice, admire its beauty, and consent IN
the abstract, to the observance of its forms,
and the application of its rules, and yet
be ignorant Of the spirit which pervades
it, and Of the power which it exerts in
controlling human actions. May not the
fact that there is so little spirituality iu
the church and out Of it, so little genuine
religion in the world, be attributable to
the prevalence of that character of pulpit
oratory, which disregarding the emotion.
III nature, and not recognizing the intu
tive faculty, proceeds upon the suppo-
sition that the acquisitive power of the
intellect constitutes the whole man. Min
listers should remember that hearts are
ever young, and thst men and women are
but boys and girls Of larger growth. If
we have the elementary truths Of the bible
presented in a manner so simple that the
children can understand them the fruit of
our lives will attest the value of the teach
! ings which We receive.

TIE case Of tho State vs.. ". u. Jaynes was
on trial when we went to press last week and
continued until Friday evening VIII en- the ju-
~ after being out q few hours returned q YER
dict OF guilty. Mrs. Wilbour's testimony was
not weakened in any materisl part by wit
nesscs for tho defense. but, on the contrary,
was very strongly supported. The oct was
not dcnied-indeed it was confessed before
the trial began. An effort was made to show
exculpating circumstances, but it proved OF
little avail. The tendency Of the testimony
from FIRST to last for the rosccution and for
the defense, was to inculpate the prisoner
His principal hope Of escape rested upon tho
efforts made to prove that he had on other
occasions insuited the lady, whose conside-
ration for his family had kept her from ex-
posing him. He proceeded upon the theory
that a failure to resent an outrage was
standing invitation to him to perpetrate auoth-
er aud q greater one, and he did it. Think of
acquitting man Of such 4 crime for such
reason.
It is seldom the misfortune Of q criminal
to DO tried by twelve mon rs Intelligent aud
as honest as these who constituted the jury
in that case. It has too long been the Gus
tom to reject the best citizens from any pan
mel for the trial of criminal cases but the
practice of courts in this respect is changing
very much to the benefit Of the public NOR
ais.
A motion has been made for a new trial
and is to be argued next Mondy. We are
not sufficiently appraised Of the points raised
to justify any expression Of opinion. Thus
far the claws delay" has contributed Moth
ing to the disadvantage Of public interests.
and wo hopc the usual for:nalitics have been
observed SO strictly as to admit Of no ia
tai RECEPTION being taken. The consequences
Of SO horrid + crime should not DO escaped
by reason of mare technical default Of the
prosecution or Of the court. - -.-,--.
