McGill's trial took place in February,
and he was convicted of murder III the
frst degree and sentenced to be hanged.
The Supreme Court set aside the verdict,
and directed a new trial. This came OIL
in October last, when a similar verdict
was again returned. The plea of insan-
ity was set up, but it was shown clearly
by medical testimony that he was per.
fectly sane, and that he had murdered
Mary Kelly in his jealous rage.
McGill was born in Athens, this State,
in 1880 and was consequently, twenty
nine years old at the time Of his death.
His father died when he was a boy,
leaving some considerable property His
mother is still living in Athens, and he
has one sister and three brothers. One
of his brothers is serving sentence in
the Ohio Penitentiary for robbery. Nc
Gill received good Common School ed

for several terms. He afterwards learn

to railroading and other occasional odd
jobs. He was always more or less dissl'

memory of Washington has never receivedso wortl

THE TWENTY-sECoND OF FEBRUARY.
Pale is the February sky,
And brief the mldday's sunny hours
The wind-swept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time Of leaves and flowers.
Yet has no month prouder day,
Not even when the summer broods
Der meadows in their fresh array,
Or autumn tints the glowing woods.
For this chill season now again
Brings, in its annual round, the morn
When, greatest of the sous Of men,
Our glorious Washington was born.
Lo. where, beneath an icy shield,
Calmly the mighty Hudson flows!
BY snow-clad fell and frozen field
Broadening the lordly river goes.
The widest storm that sweeps through space,
And rends the oak with sudden force,
Can raise no ripple on his face
Or slacken his malectlc course.
Thus, mid the wreck Of thrones, shall live
Unmarried, undlmmed, our hero's fame,
And years succeeding years shall give
Increase of honors 10 his name.
