careful analysis Of Capt. Tillmali's

to reduce taxation. He docs not be

will save the credit OF the State.
But he and his crowd by their plat

They can not hold it for less than a

The Crime of Murder.

While it is natural to feel sympathy
! for those who are in distress, no mat
ter what may have caused their atll!c-
ton, and while, therefore, We would
not, on any account, have attempted
to influence the minds Of the public
Oh a matter where life is ut stake,
now that the jury has rendered its
verdict in tie case of the state
against Lavcllc, We feel obliged to al
lude to tie importance Of the find
ing.
The crime Of murder has unuucs
tionahlc been too highly rcgarIod in
the state for Years. There has oc-
cnrr"d acuuittal after acpuittal in
such cases until in the atrocious case
OF Lyman, the rrcr"Htcrous aryu-
m"Mt was actually advanced that the
improper life l"d by thc mu lcrcd
Individual should hc taken into con-
a'drrH'!"n as II mitigating circum-
StAncc with regard to the crime.
The jury in That case, upon the sec
ond triad "f that case, clearly indi
"HlCi by thcir verdict that althouph
they had come to the conclusion that
IN" facts charged hy the state had
been proven, and that the defense
hal absolutely failed, vet they conll
not bring i'll n verdict which would
expose the criminal to The extreme
pcualty Of law, but rather would take
{" themselves powers which they did
not possess, and, 10y their finding of
manslauGhtcr, provide for what they
conSidcrcd sufficient punishment.
This hesitation on the part of il-
rlcS to call murder murder, this dis.
position to go outside Of their pro-
vince and to take to themselves, prac.
tically, the pardoning power, has un-
4Urstonahly cXcrtcd an unfortunate
influence, and created IN impression
that above and beyond the facts PROV
rn on the stand, and the law given
by the Judge, the jury may take in
to consideration other circumstances,
theories, hints and suggestions

The fall term Of our schools closes

the schools thus far have been very pros
perous. Though whole grade has been
dropped from the primary department,
the registration IL quite rs high as 1t was
last year at this time. But members are
not all that should be considered. Never
before in the history Of the school we're
there 40 many pupils pursuing the higher
brauches. Full classes are pursuing
Algebra, Geometry. Literature. Rhetoric,
Natural Philosophy and Physical Geog-
