A verdict was rendered by the jury in the
case of the People VS.. Rowland, on Saturday
evening about half past six o'clock, after
being out four hours. The first ballot taken
10y the jury in their jury-room, stood 8 for
acquittal and for conviction. The Jurors
were kept together from the time they were
sworn until they had rendered their verdict,
giving 10 opportunity for any outside pres
sure or influence to bias them in any man
nor. or prevent their arriving at a just and
honest verdict in the case. That the re-
spondent had fair and impartial trial at
the hands of the court, can not be denied by
anyone The officers Of court and Prescott
ing Attorney had secured all the evidence on
the part of the people that they were able to
find. The Prosecutor had arranged the evil
dence and presented it in the best possible
shape, to throw all the light on the case and
SGT forth the true facts as they occurred in
tho fearful tragedy. To aid him in this,
piats and drafts of the premises were ex-
hibited to the jury, and yet the jury said, by
their verdict, that the respondent was not
guilty. If these jurors were honest men,
(and we have no reason to believe them to be
otherwise), if they acted fairly upon their
honest convictions of what all the testimony
should satisfy every body, no matter p It mad
been his convictions or belief in regard to it
heretofore. The affair was one of the sad
dest that ever occurred IN this community.
Rum seems to have been at the bottom of it,
and in this trial temperance lecture has
been preached, more potent than all the long
winded speeches of itinerant lecturers can
he.

Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute held at Cassopolis,
Jan. 18th and 18th, will long be bright
spot for future reflection to all who had the
privilege of attending it, because of its
moral and intellectual features. The fine
weather, punctual attendance, the best of
order, excellent music, and genuine good
fellowship, all combined to make the occa-
sion one of pure enjoyment, while the
prompt response of the essayists in most
instances, the free discussions, and an abund-
ance of talent, were conducive to great adj
vancement and could not fail TO encourage
and instruct those engaged IN that noble
calling, farming. Owing to the non-arrival
of the delegation from the Agricultural Col
legc, who were to take part in the exercises,
the morning session of the first day was
short, consisting mainly of piece of music
Ivy the choir, which gave the nearer an inn
precision that the executive committee had
shown very good taste in selecting singers of
superior musical talent. Prayer was then
offered by the Rev. Mr.. Stephenson, after
which short business meeting was held,

The newspapers that are announcing that
J. G. Burrows has introduced bill advocat-
ing measures that would bring great JOY to
the hearts of greenbackers, in opposition to
his well settled convictions on the financial
question, had better look up their congress

bill. It is not to be wondered at, however,
that they should make the mistake, for the

We would like to know whence
brother Warren of the Decatur Republican
gets his information. He says in last week s
Wednesday, paper, that "Judge Cox had
decided not to permit Guiteau to address the
jury in his own behalf" and that "all the
arguments in the case are now concluded ex-
cept that of Judge Porter, who is closing for
the people in mastery address which will
leave no room for hope of escape for the al
ready condemned villain" We hope you
were not "inSpired,'' Robert, that is what
Guiteau claims. Guiteau was allowed to adj
dress the jury on Saturday, and Judge Porter
commenced his speech on Monday.

Relics Found in a Roman Tower

The American Register, OF Paris.
A Roman tower discovered in the
Saolon quarrieS in Lorraine has been
partly unburied and serched to the
depth Of about five metres. The walls
are IN a good state of preservation,
being constructed of white stone and
held together by fine red cement
harder than the stone itself. A number
of interesting relics have been found
among these ruins. Outside the tower
is some fine sand, to the depth of 1m.
50c., while inside, layer of dark earth
contained some large pieces of tile and
bricks of rather extraordinary dimen-
sions. AS the Romans pzid taxes accord
ing TO the number of their tiles, they
deemed it wise to have them made as
large as possible, and these specimens
measure from 0m, Is to 0m. 40 in
length, and 0m. 8 to Om. 10 in
thickness. They are in splendid condi-
ton, being of bright red color, and
having a metallic sound which indi-
Gates the excellence of their tiles to the
air, allowing them to dry before plac.
ing them in the ovens, where they
were subjected to the highest heat,
which. however, was only reached in
slow and regularly progressive stages.
France was well wooded during the
Roman epoch, and for that reason the
manufacture of tiles and bricks pre-
sented no difficulties. A number of
statuettes and coins and inscriptions to
pagan deities have been brought to
light, and they tend to show that some
OF these relics belonged to the legions
stationed in Lorraine from the year SO
to 800 Of the Christian era. The tower
is vaulted, and is supported on mason
ry ia the form of four arches.

The Fiji islands.

The FIJI Islands are about 225 in
number. Great Fiji is 80 miles by SO;
population $4,000. When first found
by the missionaries the Fijians were
the most savage, cruel and dangerous
beings known. Their cannibalism.
human sacrifices, infanticide aud bury
ing alive, were the most horrible in
amount and manner of which heather
ism furnishes any record. Humanity
had sunk to its lowest depths. Now,
Sir Arthur Gordon, Governor of the
British Colony of Fiji, can say: sit is
impossible to speak iii too strong terms
of the wonderful results, both religious
and social, which have attended the
Wesleyan Mission in FIT" They are
now Christian people; their churches
number 900; church-members, $4,000;
Sabbath sacredly observed; $4,000 chill
dren in the 1900 schools; family wor-
ship almost universal. And it is an
interesting fact that the first mission
work in Fiji was by converts from the
native Missionary society of the
Friendly Islands.

Pensioners.

Kansas CITY Journal.
The commissioner of pensions has
Just completed for the information OF
the senate, which called for it, COM
plete list of government pensioners
now upon the roll, and the annual
value of the pension roll, and the
amount actually paid, including arrears
for the year ending September 4, 1881.
By this document it is learned that
the number. of pensioners on the roll
in September, 1881, vas 269,851, the
annual value of whose pensions was
$29, 269, 469. OF these, $4,000 were
not paid, and pensioners not having
called for their pensions within three
years, they have lapsed. Five thousand
were sailors whose residence was not
known, and 252,851 pensioners were
paid, the amount required to pay their
annual pensions and arrears being
$5l, 224,2
In New York state there were 81, :
024 pensioners on the rolls, the annual
value of whose pensions was t3, 456, 532.

they received upward of 100000.
Alaska has one pensiOner. who re-
ceived $176.
The most populous congressional
district is the First, of Kansas, which
has 1880 pensioners, and the district
in which the largest amount was paid
to pensioners was the Third, of Maine,
which has 2,545 pensioners, who were
paid $642, 557. The comparative gain
subsequently to September, 1881, will
be generally distributed among the
Eastern, Middle and Western states,
and in Tennessee and West Virginia,
while in the remaining Southern states
the losses of 1872 pensioners will not
very materially decrease the rolls for
these localities.

The Assassination Clock.

At one window is ticket agent deal

graph operator is seen busy at his work,
and truckmen, pOrters, train dispatch

ural as life. All of these figures are of
wood, about two inches long. At the
end OF each hour a cuckoo announces
the fact, and Immediately figure of
President Garfield appears on the plat
form on which the scene is enacted
accompanied by Mr.. Blaine. Guiteau
is seen TO follow him, having just
alighted from truck wagon, and as
he fires at the president the latter falls.
Just then train of cars comes dash

principal actors are carried into the
depot out of sight. After the train
dispatcher has given the signal and the
train has gone, small door at the left

service, while at the same time another
door at the left opens, and Guiteau ap-
