The story of tue Underground Railroad, as told by Rev MT. Rankin, last Tuesday, evening was fascinating one, the speaker having been an actor in the scenes described and still carrying them vividly in his memo ". As a young man, his home was on bluff reached by 172 stone steps from the Ohio river, and was known south of the river as ilarbor for refugees who came over, alone or in small parties, and, one night, MT. Rankin had party of fourteen to carry to the next station, nine miles away. The piteous stories of the fugitives, the savage hunter, the mid night rides (and foot-races too), the tricks to evade pursuit, the baying of the hounds and the whistle of musket balls, all haloed with the enthusiasm which counted not life dear for freedoms sake, united to make lecture glowing with life. A few years later he was at Cincinnati, pupil of Prof. Stowes, and
 there the railroad was in operation also Eliza,
 he says, really crossed the river with her child strapped to her back, and she carried long
 board with which she bridged the crevices of the drifting ice Her return to Kentucky to bring out of slavery her six remaining children
 was thrilling story and one which should
 not be lost from the history of slavery days pr. Blake met James Waters, few days ago, and, hay ing chloroformed him, he took
 him by the hand and extracted therefrom a thorn in the flesh of some weeks possession, a 1 needle-pointed splinter of glass three quarters of an inch in length. LANCE.

Jury Trials.

The Rev. Mir. Hayden is out on bail Two of his counsel, Messrs. Watrous and Hubbard, gave $5, 900 bond for his appearance for second trial, should second trial be attempt ed. Although there is talk of change of venue, and a new trial, we have no idea that the case will ever be brought up again. We notice that this remarkable trial is made the occasion of severe attacks on the jury system.
 We look upon it as proof, rather. of the
 soundness of that mode of trial. Here is case in which there is grave suspicion but something short of that proof beyond reason- able doubt which the law requires. The con- dition of the evidence is very fairly reflected in. the opinions of the jury. One third thought the prisoner guilty; two thirds, inno- cent. A disagreement leaves the accusation precisely where it ought to stand-''not prov en-" Now let us suppose such a case tried by
 judge instead of a jury. As the evidence comes in, belief of the prisoners guilt or in nocence, is gradually formed. The longer the case is in trial the more fixed his opinion be- comes; so that, in nine cases out of ten the trier reaches the end of long -examination with very positive notion of the guilt or the iunoc. nee of the prisoner, The tendency of 8 bias to strengthen into an opinion, of an opdu- ion to grow into belief, of belief to harden into certainty, during the pendency of long investigation, IS a process with which any man who has ever carefully considered the genesis of his own convictions, must be famil- iar .-
 Few men, whether on the bench or in the jury box, can accurately discriminate be- tween what they believe and what they know. The individual juryman seldom recognizes that difference, always enforced in the judges charge, between the mere preponderance of evidence which justifes verdict in civil suit, and that proof beyond reasonable doubt required in criminal causes but the twelve jurors, taken as body, recognize the distinc- tion at once. They seldom agree on con- viction unless the evidence is of that convinc- ing force which the law demands. Hence though strongly in favor of the right of de- fendant to trial by jury in civil causes, we frankly confess to apreference in most instan- ces for trial by court, and for such change of the constitution as would. allow two thirds or three quarters of panel to render a verdict in civil causes. In criminal cases, however, the unanimous verdict is a wholesome require ment, and the jury trial the fairest tribunal the wit of man has yet devised.
