There are two notable eases before
the public, wherein juries have erred
and convicted innocent men. A man
named Thomas has been pardoned
by the Governor of Illinois and re-
leased from Joliet prison after serv-
ing seven years for a murder which
he never committed. the real mur.
lerer confessing his guilt. In Della
ware County, Pa, the colored man,
Samuel johnson, was convicted of
the Sharpless murder and sentenced
70 be hung twice reprieved by the
Governor, and now the Fernwood
gang are on trial Tor the same muir
der. It always did seem to us that
the State prosecution offers too great
prize for conviction, in assuming
the gailt and trying for reputation
sake to make good the assumption.
The time will come when warranted
BY general intelligence, Justice will
lay the evidence for conviction and
the evidence for acquital before the
Jury, for their action, without allow
ing whole bar of lawyers to ham
mer away upon the jury with any
implement of force or feeling they
can take hold of, for the money fee
and legal reputation that are to be
made out of the SUCCESS of the case.
Guilt or innocence is not the ques-
ton now; it is conviction or acquital,
innocent or guilty, the best side
wins.

The School of the NJ. f..
Church held their Christmas exercises
Thursday evening. The church was
crowded with an anxious and interest
ed audience. AT 1870 the children and
their teachers entered, and short but
admirably arranged programme was
rendered with perfect delivery and
well-tralned voices; some of the parts
taken by the smaller children being
very touching. The Pastor made q
prayer appropriate to the occasion,
invoking the blessing Of the newborn
King upon the church, the school and
the officers in charge. The arrival of
Santa Claus was what the children
were waiting for, and he treated them
well and praised their work. The
evening was delightful one to the
children,-a satisfaction to the teach
ers and source of pride and joy to
Pastor and Parents. Would that such
delightful times may continue to re.
cur each year throughout the lives of
the now happy children. Mr.. l.. M.
Bender directed the exercises in good
order.
