Circuit Court.

A MURDER TRIAL AND ITS TER
IoN.-The Circuit Court was
engaged ali last week in the trial OF
G.. Smith tor the murder of r II. l..
Hayslip, which took place last sum-
mer. We gave a full account of il
at the time.
Two young men named Smith were
having a frolic, and shot at each 9th,
Ell, one took the pistol from the other,
and then went to Mr.. Hayslip or met
him on the street, and either acct
dentally or wilfully shot him and
killed him. 1t is claimed that it was
entirely an accident, and there are
very few persons who really believe
that he Intentionally shot Hayslip,
but it was maintained that the cares
lessness was so gross that it amounted
to crime.
The trial came of last week Mess.
G. w. Smith and Eustace Gibson
were retained to assist l.. G.. Ric k :
cts, Esq, tn. Attorney fer the
Com monwealth, (who very ably open
Ell the case, and |. J. McGinnis and
j. II. Ferguson for the defence. The
counsel all made fine speeches Judge
Smith opened for the prosecution in
an eloquent speech he was followed
by Senator McGinnis in one of his
able and earnest speeches for the de-
fence: Then Judge Ferguson made
a very convincing argument on the
same side, occupying about s hour,
in its delivery.
Eustac2 Gibson, Esq, summed az
fsr the prosecution, in IL mastery
speech Of some length
When the case was submitted to
the jury there were 4 variety of opin
ions rs to their verdict. The counse
for the defense, we learn had deter,
mined to appeal to u higher count i
the verdict had been against them
1t is reported that when the Jur,
went out they stood three for muir
der in the first degree, and min,
tor acquittal The verdict wa
guilty Of involuntary manslaughter
assessing his punishment at $50 fin
andimprisonment for 20 days in tn
county Jail.
The Court Ia: been engaged thi
week in the trial of another Smith
who was engaged in the firing on tn
streets, when Hayslip was killed
He wa acquitted.

STATE UNrYERsIrY.-The com
mencemeut exercises of the Universi
" take place on the 10Th and 18th
inst. We acknowledge 4 kind inyi
tatiOn from the committee to attend,
and would be greatly pleased to &C
cept. The people OF Morgaptown are
famed for their hospitality, and have
made arrangements to entertain edi-
torial visitors on the 10Th aud 17th
inst. We hope the attendance will
be full and that the exercises will be
satisfactory to all present, as there is
no doubt they will be.
The University of the State should
be Il source of pride to all her citizens,
/ and if it continues as It's early year,
have given promise, it cannot fall Ia
be. From personal acquaintance
with its President and some of its pro
| tessors, We can vouch for their fines.
tor the positions they hold and for the
conScientiousneSS with which they
discharge their duties Morgantown
has long been noted for its excellent
schools, both male and female; all
over the State may be found men
| and women whose education was in
whole or in part received there. It.
beautiful location, Salubrious climate,
and refined society make it especially
attractive to visitors or students, and
there are very few who leave it with
out 4 desire TO return, and pleasant
memories Of their sojourn there.
Messrs. l.. S. Hough, A. w Lo
rentz and Z. Shisler are the commit
! tee Of arrangements.

BANK NOTES. -Although Hun
tington Bank Stock was outrageously
watered on Sunday last, the credit
of the bank was never better than al
present
1t is perfectly Legitimate now and
then tor bank to raise the wind
financially but it is somewhat out
of order for the wind to raise bank
as was the case on Sunday.
The heaviest deposit ever made in
one day at the Bank of Huntington
was on Sunday, when the wind de
posted the roof Of that building ii
street.
Mr.. Russell says that he had no SO
curity in the demolished bank roof.
1t has been suggested that th'
wind of Sunday last could have beer
checked had there been a bank STAMP
placed upon it.
Heavy drafts (of wind) were tn
order OF the day on Sunday at TIT
bank.
Sam Jackson, q colored man, while
gazing at the wrecked roof of thu
bank Monday remarked, "You cal
discount de damage by de car
load"
Mr.. Russell says he would have en-
tered a protest against the draft VI
Sunday, had he been apprized of it
coming.

FOREST Fires IN PENNSYLVANIA.

FOREST FIRES IN PENNSYLVANIA
There have been for several week;
very extensive fires raging IN the
forests of Pennsylvania which have
destroyed millions of dollars worth d
property, and a number of lives
Several towns were abandoned by
their inhabitants on account of the
fires. Hundreds of people saved on
ly the clothing they wore One
family named Cox, consisting of a
father, mother, seven small children
and Mr.. Cox's mother fled with the
inhabitants of StDddartsviile. Old
Mrs. Cox was unable to walk far
without help. Her son tried to as
sist her, but he was carrying two Of
the children. He tried to carry his
mother too but could not; the fire
approached them and the old lady
begged the son to leave her and save
himself and the children. He was
compelled to do so, and she was burnt
up. Cox escaped with his children
and was hemmed in for two days
without food or drink: Two of the
smaller children became delirious and
one of them died. An old man
named Chamberlain, was overtaken
by the fire and burned to death.
The village of Mud River, one Of
the most extensive numbering places
in Pennsylvania was entirely destroy
ed. There were 5 mills there with a
of 100000 feet per day,
which were destroyed with 10000
900 feet of Humber. Net a house
was left standing. When the fire
approached the village the wife of
John Getz, wealthy lumber dealer,
was lying dead in the house awaiting
burial. The funeral services were
being held. The flames came down
so rapidly that the people had hardly
time to escape. The body of the
dead woman was consumed with the
house.

ARREST AND EscAPE.-On last
Monday evening Albert Ford was
drunk and disorderly; he went home
and beat his wife, burnt up some Of
her dresses, and was playing the
dickens generally. Mayor Burke
sent officer Hatfield to arrest him and
take him to the "Leck up" AS they
were passing along the street, Albert
snatched the officers cane, knocked
him down and then made his escape.
The officer rose to his knees and
fired his revolver at him, but unfor
tunately missed him.
Albert made his appearance on
Tuesday morning, and was arrested
by the Marshall and locked up on the
charge of resisting and assaulting an
officer. He had his trial before May.
Burke, and was defended by Capt.
E. Gibson. The Mayor fined hin
ten dollars and costs, or to be COM
mitted to the Cabell county Jail for

The BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
Our next paper will be issued on
June 18th. the one hundredth ami
versary of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
That first great battle of the revolu-
tionary war was one of is most i'm :
portant ones. On that day the peace
full farmers of New England met the
veterans of the British Army, and
gave them a lesson which they never
forgot. The expression of General
Warren, "D,lce ct decorum est, pro
patriG mori,--it is pleasant and be-
coming to die for ones country
seemed to be the sentiment of every
heart. With only one thousand and
five hundred farmers were repulsed
nearly three thousand British soldiers
trained to the art of war.
The loss of the British, in killed
and wounded, according to their own
statement, was about one thousand
and fifty four, within five hundred
of as many as there were in the Amer
lean army. Among the killed were
thirteen commissioned officers, and
seventy wounded. Of these there
were one Lieutenant Colonel, two
Majors and seven Captains.
The whole loss of the Americans
was one hundred and forty five killed
and missing, and three hundred and
four wounded. Just at the moment
of retreat Gen. Warren was killed.
The citizens of CeredO propose to
celebrate the centennial Of the Battle
on next Thursday by an exhibition
and patriotic exercises, at the Town
Hall, consisting of addresses, &c
We are under obligations to them for
kind invitation, and regret that bus
mess will detain us at home. The
entertainment will be given on Thurs
day, 18th inst, and repeated on Fri
day. We hope it will be an occasion
of enjoyment.
