Here Is boys composition on fall
This is fail, becatisc it falls on this season Of
the year. Leaves fall, too, rs well as Their.
mometcrs and the price Of straw hats. Old
topers, who sign the pledge in summer, arc
liable to fall when fall cider.making opens,
for straws show which way the cider goes.
Husking corn is one of the pleasures of
fall; but pleasure isn't good for boys, 1
don't think. Old men Want little fun !;
let them husk. A husky old intu can go
through good deal of corn, sometimes.
Digging taters is another of our fall amuse-
ments. The wayI like to dig taters Is to
wait until they arc baked nicely, and then
dig them out of their skins. Most winter
schools open in the fall. The best winter
school ever went to didn't open until
spring, and the first day IL opened the
teacher took sick and the school-house was
locked up for the season. Once in while
We have very severe fall, but nothing

A Tragedy Instead of a Farce.

A political dispute arose between John
Jasper and James Casey, two well-known
colored men Of Norfolk, Va. The dis
pntants, in a Joking way, decided to set.
tie their differences OIL the field OF honor
A mock duel was arranged, seconds were
chosen and double-barreled shotguns
selected. The dusky statesmen met. Both
men discharged their pieces and Jasper, to
the surprise of all, fell seriously wounded
Tho fallen duelist was removed where
medical aid could be rendered and he died.
1t seems that from accident or some other
cause small birdshot were inserted in the
charge put in Casey's gun. What was
only intended as burlesque and mockery
turned out to be q fatal affair,

The (suiteau Trial.

Guiteau's conduct on his trial is quite
in accord with the public judgment of
his condition of mind founded upon the
similar conduct which he has consist
emily exhibited since his arrest. OF
course it is possible that his course of ;,c
tion may have been laid down and car
ried out to create an impression of his
insanity; but this is not likely from its
character because he makes no pretense
of insanity and so acts as to make it
difficult to decide that he is insane, al
though it seems clear that his mind is to
a certain extent unsound. The question
is whether it is so unsound as to make
him irresponsible for his actions: and
that is very difficult question to answer,
admitting that he is in fact the = crank :"
that his conduct shows him to he. There
is no inducement to doubt the honesty
of his actions, when they bear SO little
indication of simulated Insanity. He
50 StOutly insists that he is sane
and exhibits so much intelligence and
vigor that the jury will be very
likely to take him at his own estimate of
himself. There would seem, however,
to be occasion for the action ofthe court
before the case gets to the jury. Gui
teau discharges his counsel right and
left and insists on managing his own
case. If he is sane lie has Il right to do
50, and the court cannot prevent him.
If, therefore, Judge Cox insists on per-
mitting the prisoners counsel TO manage
his case, against his will, he in effect de-
termines that he is now at least of too
unsound mind to understand what he is
doing. Before he takes this RESPONSE
bility it would seem to be right for him
to satisfy himself with evidence as to
Guiteau's condition of mind and
should he do this he will decide tie
case, as the jury will follow his deter
mination. 1t does not seem to be case
calling for the array of counsel present.

Accident to Prof. A. T: Wauncr.

The York Daily has the following
account of an accident to Prof. Wanner,
graduate of Franklin and Marshall COL
lege, and well known in this city and
county Prof. A. T. Wanner, principal
of the York high school, injured his knee
by fall at Columbia on Friday which
will confine him to his room for some
days, and necessitate the board of school
control to secure a supply to temporarily
fill his position in the school room. Mr.. w.
in attempting to change cars accidentally
fell and injured his knee and cut his hand.
His injuries being apparently slight he
continued his journey but the injured
limb soon began swelling and he was COM
PEELED to return home as soon as possible.
He is now in charge of DR.. A. r. Blair.
The extent of his injuries cannot be deter
mined on account of the Inflammation,
though it is not considered serious by his
physician, and he may be able to move
around on crutch in short time''
