A. J. VINCENT, tried at Chshalis
for the murder Of John Westfall, at
Toledo, in January, 1882, has been
found guilty of assault and battery
by the jury, after delibera'ion of
fourteen hours. A dispatch announ-

that the wounds inflicted sui stan

Vincent was sentenced to a fine of
nine hundred dollars and the costs

The SIGNS ARE THE SAME-Wht II
Rome was in its decline these were
among its symptoms:
The elections we're matters of an
nual bargain.
Palaces sprang up in the city and
castles in the country. By the sea
were villas, parks, fish ponds and
game preserves.
Money was the one thought from
the highest to the lowest.
Many judges gave unjust decis-
ions and juries gave corrupt verdicts.
The elections were managed by
clubs and coteries.
Those who spent the most money
were most certain to success.
Public spirit among the masses
was dead or sleeping.
Certain avenues for money-getting
were held as " Prizes of the State, "
being Gin the gift of the people"
Those were sought after by means
which demoralized both givers and
receivers.
Really, M st # these symptoms
are reco1n'z Il i'll our day. Are we
nearing the last stage of dissolution ?
