NOT GUILTY.


as well those out of court as those in
ARE pleased at the result of the
trial. While the indiscretions of
MI. Sanner led to suspicious that his
conduct in connection with the
building associations was not with
out reprOach, yet when the matter
came before the court, and the truth
Was elfted from error, every one
present felt that conviction could not
follow. The very strongest points in
the part of the State were clearly
proved untenable, and though the
counse'for the State managed their
side particularly well, Mr.. Boyd
must certainly have known that the
probabilities of conviction were
slight. We congratulate Mr.. Sanner
that ajury of his fell0w-citizens have
declared him innocent and we like
wise congratulate his counsel for the
able manner in which they defended

TERRIBLE CRIME.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 29-Patrick
Lynch to-day confessed that he flung
his child, two years old, into the
Allegheny River from the railroad
bridge, two weeks ago. He was ar
rested last night on the same spot
while attempting to commit suicide.
He is in Jail awaiting a hearing.
Family troubles were the cause.
Lynch, after the murder, went to
New Orleans, but could not keep his
secret, and yesterday returned and
confessed his deed to his wife, who
at once made information to the
police, thus leading to his arrest.
GREAT COAL COMPANY.
After many months of excessive
labor the above company has found
the coal for which it has been
digging. 1t lies at a distance OF about
900 feet in the mountain. They
have not yet tunneled to the coal;
but after bearing down perpendicu-
larly to the depth of 10 feet the augur
struck and passed through the 81 foot
vein, and from the dip of the rock it
was evident that the vein would be
struck vertically at a distance of 80
feet. Already the mines has been
opened 20 feet further since the
boring, and Mr.. Montell is assured
that next week he will come fully
upon the coal. Already the miners
have passed through all the smaller
veins everything the six foot vein,
but only the latter will be mined at
present, as it is estimated that there
are 10000 tons oft in the property
Of this company. Sould the quality
of the local prove equal to the big
vein, there will be great profit in it,
as it lies much closer to market than
most of the big vein coal.
The Comptroller of the State has
recognized the new board of educa-
ton, recently appointed for. this
county by the circuit Judges as the
legitimate one to which the school
fund should be paid. ami that unless
restrained he shall proceed to make
such payment. This decision places
the new board in possession and
makes the old board the !itigants, if
any litigation shall follow. Cme5.
The Oakland REPUBLICAN, of
last week, has Il communication from
selbysport, in Garrett County,
signed 80. X !" which alludes to an
item in this paper ofsome two weeks
ago in which we stated that Garrett
was ahead III having ii road super
visors from district No. 2. The
writer says that Garrett is always
ahead that she is high, lofty, eleva-
ted-a fact which we candidly ad.
NIT. And we congratulate 80. K"
on the fact that in No. 2 there are
few spare hands left to assist in
the roads" The CORES
pendent is mistaken in one thing
we made no "complaint;" we only
mentioned the fact Cumberland
