A REMARKABLE TRIAL.-A mur.
derer has just been tried aud senten-
ced under the new law Of Connecticut
which allows man to elect. whether
he will be tried by jury or by two
judges. The accused, who was chary-
ed with the murder Of young girl to
WHOM, he was engaged to be married,
elected 20 be tried by judges, aud by
them was fund to be guilty Of murder
III the second d'5ree, and sentenced to
Imprisonment f,r life. The new law
seems TO be just, aud appears to work
we'll. Where two judges act as the
jury there. is little opportunity for
tr.ckcry or evasion, and general GER
tain'y Of securing justice. In such
Gases, too, an appeal is improbable. and
a case uay be regarded as definitely
settled. The working Of the new law
may prove so beneficial as to deserve
mutation in other States. It certainly
will protect an innocent man from the
unthinking clamor Of the popu!acc.

TESTING SeEDs.-One Of the little
things which: , farmer may neglect. to
his cost is that Of testing field and gar.
den seeds before planting them. Most
important in this matter is the corn
crop. An experienced corn grower
can generally give 4 pretty safe opin-
ion as to whether corn will be good for
seed. There are some special marks
which help to determine this question
Of vitality, but when it is SO easy to
determine the question definitely by
planting few kernels, it is not wise to
run even slight danger Of being mis-
taken. la . less important degree,
the same is true Of garden seeds.
We strongly advise taking few
seeds Of each kind to be planted, count
ing them and r!antiag in = box 8.
good earth, kept in warm room and
watered as needed. Ina few days
the plants will appear, and if all, Or
nearly ell, Of the seeds have germinat-
cd vigorously, the quality Of the seed
may be considered positively settled.
This work should be done promptly, %

Notwithstanding that lotteries have
been in favor from the earliest times and
great fortunes made by those who are
willing to risk little for the chance of
getting much, there is a good deal TO be
said against them. And good deal his
been said gainst them, so that thousands
who would like to take a chance are
kept from it by the notion that it is not
moral to make fortune at one lucky
stroke. Then there are 20 many bogus
schemes offered, in which the tickets are
all blanks, managed by unknown persons
in whom the public has no confidence,
that cautious man naturally hesitates
before investing even a small SUM.
Snch prudent people now have a
chance TO try their luck in magnificent
scheme, where everything is fair, and
the chances great. The Public Library
of Kentucky will give its fifth and last
gift concert at Louisville, on the 9th

case. and containing many rare and val-
uable volumes, by the way-and started
out to talk the matter over with a broth
er bibliophile las carefully locking the
door behind him) who had been offered
these same volumes, before they came
into the possession of their present own
er. The two again examined notice and
volumes, and their identity was then
again verified. So, after while, the in =
tlligence spread among psr1olll friends
of the two gentlemen, and last nigh it
was the talk of the hotels, at the club
and in all gatherings together of people
who read the newspapers.
1t was stated last night, with what
truth we are not advised, that the gen.
tleman was offered $4,000 for the trans
fer of the two volumes TO the person who
made the offer. 1t is also said that
correspondence by cable was actively
kept up yesterday between Louisville
and London in relation to these books.
After day or so. perhaps, we shall all
know, to an absolute certainty, that "a
certain book against the publication of
which," &c, is really held by certain
Louisville lawyer, and that that he is
richer by small fortune because of the
indulgence Of a fancy, for rare and cur
ious literature.

Assassination at Nelsoaville.

We are compelled to record the oc-
currence of a most dastardly and brutal
outrage, which was perpetrated on the
evening Of the 26th inst, at or near the
"Coe hollow" about two miles east of
town, as a young colored man, messen-
ger of the N. Y. & o. Coal Co., was re
turning from town to Doanville, with the
mail matter belonging TO the Company
and others, he was fired on from the
roadside, by some scOnndrels who are
as vet unknown. 4 ball took effect in
the shoulder of the unfortunate man,
penetrating the left lung, and passing
into one of the bronchial tubes from
whence it was elected by the patient,
while coughing. DIR. Gillian dressed
his wound, and is of the opinion that it
is mortal. The horse was also severely
wounded When the ball struck him it
ia reported that he dropped the mail bag
he was carrying, and that the bag was
found on the following morning, with
all its letters which had been opened.
Let our civil authorities take. ener-
getie measures to bring the perpetrators
of this villainous act to justice.--
Parties who were a short distance in
advance of the man who was wound ed
express the opinion that more than one
was engaged in the affair, from the rap
idty with which the shots were fred.
One or many. let them be ferre,ed out,
and punished.-lN Nelsonville Miner.
