Sturgeon are bcgoning to come, and sell Tor

WIND STORM. The clouds Of Yesterday
morning gave way about eleven 0 clock to bright
sunshine. About four o'clock in the afternoon
the wind came out strong from the northwest,
and blew perfect gale, lasting for several
hours. The temperature fell rapidly, and last
night, overcoats were in demand; heavy frost
fell and ice formed in exposed places. 1t Is
feared tina, much damage has been doue to the
vegetables and fruits by the frost. The wind
made navigation on the river both difficult and
dangerous. The steamer Virginia, on her last
trip, was blown off her course, aud had 10 come
round by the lower ferry. yacht, which
brought down pleasure party from Washing
ton. was compelled to remain here all night.
Numerous trees were blown dowu and shutters
blown off. Reports of much damage along the
river and seacoast may be expected HaSh'

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-06-14

After making a thorough exploration of
the shores Of this inland sea, Ernest made
his way back to SaDterem. There he
found his companion, Wilkin, quite i'll,
and also found news of bis fathers sick
ness. This determined him to return
sc hom' by the OnG same a route he took Sf
in going out, reaching Indianapolis few
weeks more than year from the time he
LETT here. For the future his plans are
somewhat vague. Some of his friends
have suggested that be embody the result
of his travels in a lecture, to be delivered
in this city. 1t will be
BOON OF JOY TO MANY ANXIOUS HEARTS
to learn that he Is inclined to
give this proposal favorable consideration
provided proper interest is manifested and
sufficient inducement offered. He will
not continue his travels at once but will
remain in Indianapolis this summer, and
devote himself to scientific study. He
expresses his fixed determination, how
ever, to return to South America at some
future time and continue his re-
searches on a larger scale. Perhaps this
purpose has some significance in connec-
ton with q matter OF tender interest to
which it is not permitted us to refer mors
definitely. The scientific collection made
by him can not be fully described, since a
large part of it was not brought to this
city. The reporter was shown several
preparations OF serpents, including one
dried skin, 20 feet long. The greater part
of his collection, consisting of prepared
specimens In
oRN1rHoLoGY AND MYTHOLOGY,
wss sold to Mr.. Eccles, a collector of
Brooklyn. 1t is presumed that the sale OF
these betrayed the expense of his trip. For
the encouragement of votaries of science
who are struggling against the draw
back of limited means, it may
be stated that by rigid economy
these were kept within q comparatively
small sum, SOS covering the cost OF the
entire trip and S135 of this being passage
money. There is one other matter con-
nected with Ernest's adventures upon
which public curiosity and interest has
been raised to q bursting point, and 1t is
precisely upon this matter that the Sentinel
Is regretfully compelled to express iss in
ability to afford satisfaction. The " ishes
of Ernest and his friends are en- tiled to
all respect, and shall be held sacred by us
Suffice it to say this: Contrary to general
expectation-sn expectation, perhaps, fos-
tered by an article which appeared
in these columns some weeks ago-Ernest
returns alone-for the present. Further
than this, even reportorisl license can not
be pleaded as an excuse for going, since 1t
was the earnestly EXPIRE ssed wish OF
those not interested that the Sentinel, in
its report Of his adventures and future
plans, should ego slow on the diamond
princess"

XANTIPPE.

It seems that the memory of this woman,
like that OF her renowned hus band, is
likely to be kept alive to the end of time.
She is said to have possessed a very irri-
table temper, and her name has become a
synonym of "vixen" or "scold." 1t is
more than possible, however, that the
judgment passed upon her by mankind
has been too severe. A more charitable
disposition wsuld undoubtedly have dis
covered in her many good qualities, and
have attributed her failings more to physs'
cal infirmities than to moral obliquity.
The party most intimately acquainted
with her, and therefore best able to form
correct opinion, gives her creGit for many
domestic virtues. 1t is now well known
that many of the diseases 10 which women
are subject have direct tendency to rem
der them irritsble, peevisb, cross, norose,
unreasonable, so that they chs re and fret
over all those little ills and aDuoySnces
that person in beslth would bear with
composure 1t is fair TO infer that most OF
the tantrums of 3 sntippe were due to these
causes alone; and could Socrates. as he re-
turned from the Senate, the Gymnasium
| or the Atheneum, have stopped at Pestle
Il M0rtsr's drug store and carried home a
bottle of DIR. Pierce's Fsvorite Prescription
now and then, no doubt he might have
evaded many curtain lecture" allayed
many domestic broil," made it much
pleasanter for the children, and more en-
| joyable for himself, and rescued his wife's
name from the unenviable, world wide
and eternal notoriety it has attained.
Thousands OF women bless the day on
which DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
was first made known TO them. A single
bottle often gives delicate and suffering
women more relief than months of trestv
ment from their family physician. In all
those arrangements causing backsche,
dragging down sensations, nervous and
general debility, it is sovereign remedy.
Its soothing and healing properties render
it of the utmost value to ladies suffering
from internal lever, congestion, inflamms-
ton or liberation, and its strengthening
effects tend to correct displacements of in
ternal parts, the result OF weakness of
natural supports. It's sold by all drug
gists.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-06-14

far enough away. one would think,
to make his connection with the Indiana
whisky ring improbable. He was recalled
at the time that the offense here charged
illness of bis brother, and IL was then that
he carried the two packages of money as
before alluded to. It will appear from the
evidence that this was bis only part in the
conspiracy, and that he acted in this
simply SIS messenger without any crimi-
nal participation In the conspiracy. Soon
after he returned to his land agency with
out remaining TO share in the profits of the
fraud. General Harrison further argued
that all the facts established by the govern
ment must be established beyond reason
able doubt, and that no circumstsntial
evidence or presumption of guilt could
be admitted. Testimony coming fro n
persons tainted by guilty connection
with the whisky ring, especially where
such persons testified under an assurance,
more or less distinct, of hmm unitv or pun
ishment must be received with caution.
CONCLUSION OF THE CASE.
The court then adjourned till afternoon,
and an informal discussion among the
counsel on both sides took place in the
court room. The general impression
seemed to be that the government had no
case, but the district attorney hesitsted to
take the responsibility of entering nolle
prosequi. Upon reassembling at O'Clock,
the matter stood in the same way, the
government being ready neither to go on
nor stop. Judge Drummond finally broug hit
the affair to an end by instructing
the Jury to bring in a verdict OF
not guilty, which was accordingly done
This disposition of the case seemed to
meet with general approval, since it
plainly anticipated the only verdict that
could be secured with the mesgre evil
dence in the hands of the prosecution.
