perfectly satisfactory opinion of tho JUSTICE of
this verdict, but il there we're 10 extcnua,ing
circumstances Other than those mentioned 10
tho accounts to Which &c aude, Currie should
have boon held rcspor sible for the murder and
should have been compelled to forfeit his OVID

ever, that his crimo Was not premcdtatcd. and

''The Carbon Button" by E. A. Engler, A. M., pro fussly illustrated, is 8 fascinating paper on the development of the telephone.

 that crocodiles weep, that geese grow from baraRcles, etc. Other articles are !:
