\ verdict was rendered Yesterday
in the case OF the State yer>u, y l0nZo
Mitchell. Mitchell was tried for the
murder of negro named Amos Dill
yard, and found guilty c: man
slaughter, in accordance with the
instructions of the Court. This
verdict was not unexpected, although
Mitchell bad preliminary eXamina
lion some time ago by Two Of our
magistrates, and was discharged. The
testimony in the case would not by
any sort of construction warrant a
discharge Of Mitchell ; indeed we
think he may con. ider himself fortu-
nate that he has gotten off with a
verdict of maDslaughrer Instead of
one Of murder. We regard the
verdict a mild one. although it carries
with it severe and >tiuging rebuke
of the Magistrates who discharged
Mitchell after thorough investga-
tion of all the Evidence in the case

Nor THAT WAY,-Seated on the
extreme end of narrow bench in the
Central Market, yesterday, was a boy
who seemed TO have made up his
mind that life was a sham and happi-
ness q myth. He was solemnly and
intently gazing at a collection OF four
cabbage heads, six beets, peck of
onions and three cucumbers, when
along came a young man and asksd:
g lVhat ails you?"
ssStruck p was the solemn answer.
'Have, ell? Uew'd you come out 2"
''I was working for dad at fifty
cents a day." sadly explained the boy
on the bench, 81 was the only hand,
and I thought if struck for a dollar
a day, he'd have to shut up shop ana
be busted or come to my terms
'.And did it turn out that way?
querried the other.
'.Not quite. The old man didn't
seem bit terror-stricken, but he
bounced me through the window and
hired another boy to do my work at
three shilEngs day! Well, 'spose
I'll have to go around telling the boys
that capital has ground me into the
dust" was the fearful reply.-Detroit
Free Press.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Life is race, where some succeed,
While ethers are beginning,
TTis luck at times, at others speed,
That gives an early winning.
But if you chance TO fan behind,
Ne'er slacken your endeavor.s
But keep this wholesome truth in mind
IT'S better late than never.
If you can keep ahead, tits well,
But never trip your nelghbor;
IT'S noble when you can excel,
By honest. patient labor.
Bat if you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bold as ever;
Remember, though you are surpassed,
'Tis better late than never,
Meier labor for an idle boast
Of victory o'er another;
But while you strive your utmost,
Deal fairly with brother.
What e'er your station, do your best,
And hold your purpose ever;
And if you fail to beat the rest,
'Tis better late than meyer.
Choose well the path in which you run,
Succeed by noble bearing,
Then, though the last, when once it's
won.
Your crown is worth the wearing;
Then never fret if left behind,
Nor slacken your endeavOr,
But ever keep this truth in mind,
lis better late than never.
