CAN en- escaped lunstic be tried for
murder? is the question raised in an
Ohio court. Perry Bowsher is on trial
at chiliicothe for the killing of an old
couple named McVey, aud the defence
attempted to have the proceedings STOP
ped on the ground that Bowsher was
an escaped lunatic; that he had never
been discharged from the asylum; had
never been declared sane; was in the
eye of the law a lunatic, and could not
therefore be tried for murder unless his
sanity was proven, the burden of which
proof rested upon the State. The
records show that Bowsher is in fact an
escaped lunatic, but the court overruled
the motion.

A Noted DWELLING burnt.

On Friday week the residence of Capt.
Hartman Hiner, member of the House of
Delegates from Highland county, was de-
stroyed by fire about O'Clock in the morn
ing. Capt H. was at home on sick leave
from the legislature, and his wife was con-
fined to her bed by illness. The house was
in a blaze before the fire was discovered.
Mrs. Hiner was taken out on bed and
laid upon the snow. Every effort was
made to save the contents of the house by
Capt. H. and his hired men, one of whom,
w. R. Griffin, being told to save his own
clothing said the furniture was more val
liable and went on saving that, letting his
clothing burn. Capt. Hiner fired gun
and attempted to attract the attention of
the people of Doe Hill, a village little
way off, but could not rouse any assistance.
The house destroyed was remarkable
one, having been built in 1774 by John
Mccoy the great grandfather Of Capt. H.
and the father of Gen. VIM. Mccoy, who
for. twenty-four years represented that
district in congress. II remained in the
possession of the Mccoy family for just
sixteen days over century, when it was
purchased by Capt. Hiner. 1t was built Of
logs weather boarded outside and
sealed inside, the sealing being tongue and
grooved. Amongst the furniture that WAS
saved from it. was the old fashioned three
story eight day clock, which has licked
away many coming and going genera

COUNTY COURT.-1his court, Judge
Hendren presiding, will adjourn to-mor-
row. We condense what of the business
done was important:
Criminal Neus.-In the case of Benz. I.
Karicofe, charged with adultery with Mrs.
W. H. Wooddell, the case out of which
the famous matchmaking trial Of Mr.. W ood-
dell arose, the evidence did not show guilt
within year past" as the law requires
to convict, and the jury brought in a YER
dict of not guilty. Jno. L. Rowsey, boy
Of fifteen, charged with breaking into the
house of Mr.. St. Clair Turk and stealing
some jewelry, was discharged. John Wills,
a colored man with an unfaithful first
wife, went and married another wife
and was awarded three years in the
penitentiary, but recommended to the
Governor for mercy. David FUR, of Mt.
Sidney, who is the :'Charles Burke,'' who
sold cattle, stolen from Mr.. Fultz, to Mr..
Jos. Asst, was indicted for that and three
other grand larcenies. Jas. G.. Apple, Of
Greenville, was indicted for stabbing
Frank Parrack. Several Indictments Of
minor character were found.
Mofett Register The returns from the
nine registers in the county for January
showed $1,000 tax. There are only two Of
the registers run by the barkeepers, the
others are used by distillers and others who
sell by measure. OF the whole amount

I A PUZZLE FOR THE CHILDREN.-A cor
respondent sends us the following puzzle
which the little ones will find profit in
solving and sending their solutions to us
with their names signed. But we ought
to say that the editor of this paper has
done business with the fairies, and If any
little boy Or girl gets big brother or big
sister or big anybody else to help them,
instead of working it out by themselves,
the editor can tell it by just looking at
the paper it is written on. An Editor is
fearful thing, and a child that tries to de-
ceive one had better tie mill pond
around his neck and be stoned to death
or words to that effect:
1 was awakened early one morning by
Chinese seaport, and, as the air was
country of South America, / wrapped N.Y.
self in my cloak made of a part OF the
Chinese Empire, and lined with cape in
the.Southern part of the United States, and
busted myself in a town on the Schuylkiil,
until an island east OF Labrador called NE
to breakfast. A group of islands in the
Gulf of Mexico burned brightly on the
hearth, and another group, lying west of
Africa, greeted me with cheerful song.
Soon a lake of North America brought in
my breakfast, which consisted of an Ash
attic country, and river of British Ame-
RIGA, well seasoned with lake in the
western part Of North America, and
South American city. To these we're add
ed group of islands in the Pacific, and
plentiful portion of an island in the ATTAIN
tic AS | am naturally fond Of another
group Of islands in the Pacific, | chatted

Rhine, but stopped suddenly, on discover
ing that the North American lake was

er would obtain a city in the western part
of Missouri, unless he mended his ways,
although my disposition toward him was
d group Of islands in the Pacific, but,
should his conduct prove satisfactory, he
might look forward with an African cape,
to obtaining town in Kentucky in due
time. L then went out and enjoyed q
Newfoundland cape; after returned,
finding that the children were making a
lake in New York. | sent them all to bed,
wishing good deal of a Scottish cape up

soiree at the Augusta Female Seminary.

Friday evening the haIi Of the Augusta
Female Seminary was packed to witness a
musical and elocutionary soiree given by
the pupils of that admirable institution.
OnlyiinviJed and ticket-bearing guests were
admitted "a plan that added much to the
comfort Of the entertainment. The ap-
poi htments Of the stage and costume were
goyten up with the taste and accuracy,
which seems to be made a specially there.
Ia the French ''proverb'' shall we say?-
OF L Incognito, there were six characters,
and the burden of the acting fell on
Marie Clare Miss Gertrude Gunn) and a
lady of honor miss Bette DuBose). The
acting Of Miss Gum was admirable in all
respects and was much applauded, and that
of Miss DuBose. was superior, making, as
she did, a very slender character one of the
features of the piece. The supernumeraries
were dressed accurately as peasants, indeed
the utmost care seemed to have been
shown in the dressing, and the Duchess of
the piece miss Nellie Tate) appeared in a
regular and well appointed court costume.
Little led riding Hood In French was the
second piece, and Was performed by the
little girls of the companY-one of them,
Miss Annie Raphael, as Little r. r. H.,
showing a surprising histronic talent.
The entertainment was added to very
acceptably by the singing of the scholars
of Miss Mary Crawford's class. The piece
of the evening which received the most de-
served applause was duet, "Rizzlo and
Marie sung by Misses Jennie Baird and
Ida Fletcher. Miss Fletcher has method
that we have never heard attained TO such
perfection, off the lyric stage. Miss Baird
during the evening gave the most popular'
and about che only solo from "Ernani'
that is familiar to the people, and was en-
seored. For the encore she sung s'Within
mile of Edinboro.''

who came into his Office asking if Mr..
Bumgardner, the Commonwealth Attor-

think got lt5le the best of it. It was
a friendly fight YOU know, poorly friendly,
but think got a leetle the best OF it.''
"Well,' said the captain, "What then?''
"Well, you see, 1 thought I'd jest come
up and see you, and get you to make out
your bill, and I'll just settle it now. I
thought I'd just tell you 1t was friendly
fight, so you will know how to make out
your bill''

him that at present, and unless the Grand
Jury should intervene, he had no bill
against him for his friendly fight. but If
that body should make presentment he
would promptly send in his account. The
young fellow left with the palllating re-
mark that it had been friendly fight, you
