Anthony Maiden.

Maiden was charged 10y indictment
at the September term, 1879, of the
Ohio Circuit Court, with breaking into
the store of Samuel Ferguson with in
tent To steal. The case has been stub
bOrnly fought from the start To its close,
his counsel al! the time insisting that
while the circumstances tended strongly
to show his guilt as proven, still he was
innocent. Convictions, reversals and
hung juries have attended the case.
Last Saturday, We are informed Ly
his counsel, +. Dudley Walker, the
jury after long deiiberation notified the
court that they could not agree on IA
verdict, and were discharged. Imme-
diately the very able commemorative
Attorney held consultation with his
gifted assistant, and came into coUrt
and announced that while he thought
the evidence established the guilt of
the accused, he had seen juries fail TO
agree, aud that ia view Of the great
expense to the State, to say nothing
of that to defendant, together with the
punishment already inflicted upon him
by being in Jail at different times during
the trial, necessarily forming altogether
long while, he moved the court to
dismiss the prosecution, which was
entertained by the court, the judge re-
g a
and that there was sufficient evidence
TO authorize jury to find guilty or not
guilty, he would permit the indictment
to be dismissed. At this announcement
quite scene took place. Maiden and
wife seemed to completely break down,
bursting into tears, loud cries and pro-
testing his innocence. Many moved
10y their talk and sobs, shed tears, and
all, 50 far as Mr.. Walker could hear
heartily endorsed the dismissal.
Mr.. Walker says that while the pros
ecution was conducted with very de-
cided ability and earnestness, yet his
client had fair trial.
At some future time, owing to the
widespread notoriety of this case, we
hope to present to our readers somewhat
of a history of it.
In Mr.. Haynes the district may well
be proud of his courage, will and power
as prosecutor-fearless as lion, game
"a Spartan, and untiring in will and
effort.

The Phipps' VIII Case.

This case was called Monday, aud the
contestants offered TO file an affidavit
asking Judge Msssie to vacate. The
Judge declined to allow the affidavit to
be filed and vacated of his own accord.
j. ID. Byers being the nearest magis-
trate, was summoned to preside. He
was on hand yesterday morning, but
stated that it conflicted with his court
and declined to act. A summons was
then issued for II A. Stevens, the next
nearest magistrate, TO occupy the bench.

FOURTH DAY.

AUGUST -, 1885.
The Institute met pursuant to al
journment, Prot. John O'Fiaherty in
the chair. The exercises were opened
by Prof. Willis Green Stewart, who Of
fered the morning prayer.
After the calling of the roll, a mo-
ton was made and adopted that, in or
der to facilitate the transaction of bust
ness the reading of minutes be- dispensed
with.
Grammar-The infnitIve and the
participle were taken up for discussion
Prof McHenry Rhoads in his usual
able, aud mastery manner entered into
lengthy disquisition of these troubIous
grammatical elements, and was follows
Ell by w. l.. Hawkins, :. r. Sutton and
w. Alexander in manner no less able
and felicltOus. The interest became in
tense, when the following propositions
were submitted for considerations; He
commanded the army to march," AID,
"He ordered the horse to be saddled. I"
The teachers present, with lew excep-
tons, took part in the discussion and,
rs Is usual. on such occasions, there was
little unanimity Of opinion.
At the close of the discussion on
grammar the Institute took "a short re-
cess after which Prof. j. b. Wilson
moved that the sense of the Institute be
taken as to tine construction of the fore
going propositions. The matter being
submitted To vote, resulted ia AN un-
satisfactory, and fragmentary ex-
preston.
Geography-Outline map drawing,
Prof. w. q. Stewart in his treatment
otthis subject ELECTED very high eneo-
miums, and proved himself an adept in
this very important branch of school
labor. The facility and accuracy with
which he outlined the several states and
territories, and especially the Atlantic
coast were indeed remarkable. He was
followed by Profs. >. o. Cooper, w.
Alexander and w. l.. Hawkins, who
very pertinently discussed the several
phases of the matter.
The Institute adjourned to l O'Clock
Il. NJ.
The Institute on re-assembling enter
Ell upon the best method of teaching
history. Prof John Ragland opened
the discussions and very successfully
developed his method by analy sis, and
separation into topics, and sub topics,
and very lucidly dwelt upon the i'm
portaDce of simplicity and procession in
conducting recitations in this depar>
ment. w. Alexander, John Otlaher-
ty, RI. &. Truman and q. >. Fnzhugh
followed. The method by topics was sx-
planned and strongly recommended
by these gentlemen. The discussion
was very interesting, and commanded
the undivided attention of the Insti
tute.
Prof. John OFlaherty offered the
following preamble and resolutions,
which We're unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, There is now, in the
Treasury and sub-Treasury vaults of the
United States, "a vast surplus variously
estimated at from 500, 900, 900 to $780,
100000,
WHEREAS, The experience OF nation:
has taught the great danger to popular
liberty when governments are entrust.
with such large and inappropriate
sums, and
WHEREAS, Official venality, unre.
strained by obligation or patriotism
may subordinate these great publ,
trust funds to base and fraudulent part,
purposes, and
| WHEREAS, In our opinion, the PEG
should haye their own again.

RECESS.

On re-assembling, motion was
made and adopted that the speech of
Prof. McHenry Rhoads on The Pow
ers of the Mind,n Toe reduced to writing
and made a part of the proceedings of
the Institute.
The proposition submitted at former
session relative tn the intercourse of
the sexes at common schools, was now
introduced and discussed at considerable
length by Profs. A. II. Ross, p T..
Hooker, G., :. Fitzhugh and II. G..
Truman. The gentlemen, speaking
from long experience in the school
room, were agreed that absolute res
striction could not we'll be enforced, and
that perfect freedom Of intercourse
would perhaps lead to disorder, if not
to anarchy, and gave it as their opine
ions that the teacher must be governed
by the circumstances surrounding him;
for, IA course of discipline popular in
NiAN NCiN
in another. Prof. Alexander closed the
discussion by giving his experience as
lifelong teacher of both sexes, and
essentially sorroborated the ideas adj
vanced.
The Institute adjourned until
O'Clock p. m.
The Institute was called to order at
the appointed hour.
Primary grammar was the next mat
ter for discussion, aud Miss Sue Grove,
in a few elegant and practical remarks,
developed her method of making that
study entertaining and profitable To the
younger pupils. Miss Grove insisted
on frequent reviews and her remarks
demonstrated her perfect familiarity
with the subject.
Penmanship was then discussed by
Profs Hedrick, Hooker, Cooper anC
O'Flaherty. The absolute necessity o
systematic instruction in penmanshil

in our schools was acknowledged by
each, but the utter impossibility of the
teacher becoming a writing master wa,
made apparent. Prof. O'Flaherty
thought that il would be best to devote
one half day each week to instruction
in that department.
Interest and percentage was very
ably discussed by Profs. a. +. l.andrum,
IA. &. Truman and q. >. F'itzhugh.
Very great interest was manifested
while the discussion progressed. The
familiarity of each with the subject un-
der consideration was "a marked feature,
not only in this instance, but through
the whole course of the exercises.
Square root and cube root were well
handled by w. b. Miller, and his ability
AZ "a demonstration was fully recognized
by the teachers present.
The voice of verbs was next taken up
for discussion. \ heated debate fol-
lowed between Profs Rhoads and Alex
ander. The discussion evinced much
learning, research and deep thought
by both gentlemen, and the discussion
gave much satisfaction To the Institute.
Prof OFlaherty closed the debate 10y
denying that the verb mas either voice,
number, person, mood or tense; that ii
was transltive or intransitive, active,
passive or neuter, and affirming hut one
natural characteristic, viz: that II may
he regular or irregular, and that the
true definition of verb is word
which defines the condition of the sub.
ject.
The committee appointed to con.
fer with the editor of the HERALD,
announced that four columns of the
paper and 2O0 copies would cost % for
one week OIL Sl2 for two weeks. The
report was adopted and the com mittee
discharged.
y motion was then made that the ex-
ira copies be equally divided among the

The committee to whom was referred
the duty of selecting "a series OF text

the following report: We, the commits
tee To whom was assigned the duty of
selecting "A series Of textbooks for use
in the common schools of the county,

Your committee, after "a thorough in

review of the whole field, find that, Us
to readers, the field is about equally

TEACHERS IN COUNCIL


The address 10y Prof. John O'Flaherty
was followed by Prof w. Alexander,
who in a style at once unique, chaste
and elegant, gave the experience of n
life time spent in the laborious profess
Sion of teaching, depicting in his able
and Inimitable way, the many obstacles
which beset young teacher. Nor did
he fail To leave the aspiring young ped
agogue without remedy. His re
marks were well received, highly ap>
preciated and every teacher present
deemed that he had learned many val
liable truths, the result of experience,
which be could profitably take To his
school room and reduce To practice.
The subjec of Advanced Spelling

esting manner, by the following teach~
ers:
