Trial VS.. Grand Juries.

The grand jury for the October term
OF the District Court found some fifteen
indictmcn s. -Four Were for resertiDg
to an opium den; one for keeping an
OF ium den; six for assault with intent
to kill two for grand lareeny-horse
stealing--and two for felony, hatcher
ing stock RAINING at large. Three Of
the opium smokers pleaded guilty and
were sentenced to the county jail Tor
few days; the fourth IA Chinansan went
to trial and was convicted. Four OF
the cases OF assault with intent to kill,
and the two grand larceny cases, have
been tried and Che defendants acquitted.
La several of these cases the Witnesses
at the trial were the same rs those
whose names were endorsed on the in
dictment as having appeared before the
grand jury, but the trial jury We're OF
different opinion from the grand jury
and acquitted the defendants. Some
persons attempt to account Tor tins
difference of opinion between grand and
trial juries by stating that the evidence
given by some witnesses before grand
jury, where the defendant has no coun-
sci, is very different from that given on
the witness stand before trial jury.

A bull fight was Christmas diver
sion at San Luis, Texas. The beast
was big, vicious Texan, and the man
was sturdy Mexican, who claimed to
have had experience at the sport in his
own country. A strong inclosure,
thirty feet square, was surrounded by
raised seats. The proceeds of the en-
testainment We're advertised to go to
the man if he Survived, and to his
family if he were killed. The account
Of tile fight leaves the disposition OF
the money in doubt, for it was uncer-
tain whether the Mexican would sur
vive, He showed no skill, though his
courage amounted to resklessness, and
the bull had no trouble in terribly
goring him.

OF our country is getting to be fearfully
alarming. the average of life being less

from the most insignificant origin. At
this season of the year. especially a
cold is such common thing that in the
hurry of every-day life We are apt to
overlook the dangers attending it, and
often find too late that fever or lung
trouble has already set in. Thousands
lose their lives IN this way every win

been taken, a cure would have resulted
and large bill from a doctor been
avoided. For all diseases of the throat
and lungs, BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP

man of this place spent the evening
recently at the residence of promi-
nent minister of the town. The
minister had long sought
to talk to the young man in
regard to his spiritual welfare, and
thought he would embrace the OPP
portunity for short talk or spiritu-
al matters during the evening. In a
pleasant, fatherly way, he approach
ed the young man, and placing his
hand upon his shoulder said, well
Mr., what do you think of the
all important question ?" The
young man, not fully compromising
the situation innocently and earnest
ly replied, "well, I think Hancock
will be elected The minister, see
ing the earnestness of the answer,
could scarce repress a smile at the
young mans mistake in regard to
the import of the question, and
turned the matter off as not to en-
barrass him.

A CARD.


In presenting the claims Of "Pacifc
Dissolved Bone Phosphate to the far
mers Of Berkeley for the fall seeding
of 1889, we do so with more confidence
than has ever been our pleasure before,
for the reason, that the almost unani-
nous opinion Of those who used Il dur
ing the past year, is more hi, hly favor
able than we had any reason to anticl-
pate. We have made special inquiry
from upwards Of one hundred farmers
who used the +. ID. b. p. in this coun-
ty during the past year, and from
them we have the most favorable opin-
ions expressed as to its value as a
wheat fertilizer.
A sign ifcant fact in connection with
the wheat raised by Pacific, is that
from the same amount of straw, the
yield is from 80 to so per cent greater
than from any other fertilizer we have
as yet heard from. This fact has been
fully tested by actual experiment this
year. and those of our farmers who
have used the p. ID. b. z. and have
not as yet threshed will please note
this fact.
With this encouragement we enter
upon the season with renewed conf
dence, relying of the merit; on p. D. B.
P. to speak for itself, only asking that
you will examine into its merits before
deciding what you will use. t
AS we are the sole agents for Berke-
ley county, farmers are warned against
purchasing spurious articles claiming
to be tie p. ID. B. p, whilst in reality
they are only frauds and are palmed
off by INSCRIPTIONS dealers, and 10 de-
ceive the farmer.
Those intending to use Pacific will
confer favor by sending in their or.
ders.
To those of our farmer friends who
took hold of and used the Pacific i
when it was comparative new article
in this market, we return our special
thanks, as also to all Of our friends who
so literally patronized us last season.
Yours respectfully,

THE lNSTITUTE.-The Institute
for this district was opened in the
courthouse on Tuesday morning.
There was a good attendance of
teachers, and Prof. DeGraff, Of New
York, Ladd of Virginia and Cox, of
Ohio, were present to conduct the
exercises.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Prof. Ladd, and after one
or two pieces of music rendered by
the Misses Ahern, Prof. Ladd led
off in an interesting Introductory,
setting forth the object, aims and
purposes of Institute work.
The exercises have been varied

man occupying about an hour, talk
ing, lecturing and demonstrating the
most effectual means of training the
youth in all the elementary princi-
pies of the different branches of
study now taught in our common

The interest seemed to increase
daily, as the public began to under
stand, or rather to appreciate the
genuine worth and merit of Insti-
tute work. -
Each day from 8 to IL A. NJ. and
from 2 to A P. NJ, was devoted to
practical lectures ON the art of
teaching, discipline, graduation, &c..
and to clear presentation of the
most useful and modern systems of
education now in successful opera
tion in the principal common and in
the High schools of the country,
On Wednesday night Prof. De-
Graft delivered a finished and high
ly interesting lecture on "The Ele-
ments of Success, or How to Win. y
He was listened to by an intelligent
and appreciative audience, and all
present were much pleased and
delighted with the fine literary
treat. s - -

DeGraff and Ladd, and the large and
appreciative audience which greeted
them were enthusiastic in their dem
onstrations of approval.
The Institute closed its work on
Friday evening at o clock, and it
is hoped that the general public has
been benefited by the visit of the
learned educators who have SO ably
conducted the Institute, and we are
sure that the little corps of teachers
who attended will always feel that
they owe a debt Of grgtitude to the
learned gentlemen who labored so
zealously for their instruction and
benefit.
