THE

THE CASE.
The Progressive Farmer, as its
readers know, has had little to say
in regard TO ibis terrible affair.
Since the commission Of the crime,
the offender has been in the hand OF
the law. He has had a fair trial be-
tore q jury of good citizens and has
been convicted and condemned 10
death, Much Of the testimony vas
published, much Of it impertectly,
and much omitted. Many Of the
strongest points against the prisoner
were nc, and could not be published.
We see i: stated by some OF our
State contemporaries that since the
trial, there is quite a diversity Of
opinion among the good people Of
our city, as to the correctness of the
verdict. We confess that We have
not heard it, nor do we believe that
there would be any great diversity
Of opinion among intelligent men
anywhere, If they could have heard
even and only, the story OF the pris-
oner himself, in all its details. So
far as we are informed the senli-
ment OF the community is, that the
verdict OF the jury was in accordance
with the facts brought out by the
testimony and was fully wal ran,ed
and sustained by them.

l.. G.. p, HOLLIS, ME.-We OCCASION
ally hear of examining surgeons i'm
posing upon applicants for pensions in
their examinations. Our correspondent,
a pensioner for deafness, thus describes
his treatment by Maine board when
examined for an increase of pension:
&" was requested" he says, to let
them run tube up my nose and pump
air into my head. | consented, and the
result was that for more than year at
times my head was so confused that it
affected me very much-and it affects
me now" He adds, " | rather not have
any more pension than to pass another
such trial and run the risk of losing my
hearing entirely" Such test for
deafness, deemed unnecessary by ex-
perts, should be sufficient cause for the
removal from office of any surgeon re-
sorting to it.
7. w., WOODSTOCK.-The word
CIR" is not, in legal contemplation
any part of a mans name. 1t was so
decided by the supreme court of Yer
mont as early as 1884, in case of Brain
ard rs. Stilphin, reported in the sixth VOL
ume of Vermont Reports. 1t was there
fore proper for you to omit it from your
name when you enlisted. Even if your
father had also enlisted, it would still
be proper to omit "Jr." from your
name, unless he served in the same COM
pany with you. 1t is proper for you to
omit the word in executing pension
papers. 1t is only necessary to dis
tinguish father and son when both re-
side in the same town or vicinity.
When the father dies or removes to
distant parts it becomes useless. No
male is thus baptized.-and females, it
