WOOD RIVERS RECORD.
A HUNG JURY.

The trial of Hatton and Kelly, &C.
cused OF the murder of Aron Morris,
has resulted in disagreement of the
jury, which stood eight for acquittal
aud four for conviction.
twill not do to impu2n the jury
men or their motives, because the pre-
ponderance of opinion is so marked
for the defendants. If the proportion
had been reversed, and the jury stood
four for conviction and eight for &C.
quittal, there might be some reason to
suspect that improper influences had
been brought to bear upon them, but
as the matter stands no such suspicion
isjustified. And the only explanation
that is at all acceptable, is that the
prosecution failed to make out a case.

An Incident of the Flood,

One soft and balmy winter night,
When all was seeming calm,
The food swept down with hideous might
Uuon the Perkins farm.
Old Farmer Perkins and his wife,
And little children three,
Were forced to scramble up for life
Into a %neighboring tree.
And there imprisoned for many a day,
With naught to cheer but words,
They saw their homestead swept away
Their barns, their crops, their herds.
And they had not q scrap TO cat,
Nor yet n drop to drink.
And for the waves that licked their feet,
They could not sleep q wink
Old Farmer Perkins, gazing down
With calm, heroic eye,
Beheld his struggling cattle drown
His starving family die;
Yet 10 afi ction was he blind,
To sorrow as he dumb
This thought alone engaged his mind;
"When would tho tidings conner
At last a party in q boat
When sailing down that way,
And brandy poured they down his throat.
And food extended they.
He gives a shudder and q sigh,
And then a kick he gives
"He livesl" the rescuing party cry;
HE Is not dead-he livesl"
10! a, they crowd about him there,
With sympathetic call,
He casts around one searching stare,
And comprehends it all;
Yet utters no complaining word,
However his heart be- full;
He simply asks: "Have they restored
The duty yet on wool!"

One of the most interesting and valuable
features of the John Hopkins university Ii.

budgets, kept in large envelopes or o;lonR

Mr.. Labouchere, in an article In the Fort.

system is modelled ON that existing In the state

lowing features of the system: the eoeducation
OF the sexes, the high school, and the supple
menting of local taxation by state aid. These
features soften the boys manners, mako the
girls self'reliant,. stamp out all class preju,
dices, and give the poor boys and girls an equa
chance with the rich ones. Labouohers would
readily exchange the church establishment OF
England for Il school establishment like thai
