would suppose him TO have reached the
age he has. He retains his faculties
perfectly, his mind is clear and he trans
acts all his business with the care aud
promptitude of former years. lie walks
without any signs of extreme age and
travels around the county visiting various
places without experiencing any severe
fatigue He is remarkably well-pre
served man, and while few reach the age
he has attained, very few who do, possess
his vigor of mind and body.
Last Friday, Mr.. Corle was eighty eight
years old, and his nephew, ex-senator
Calvin Corle, OF Somerset, who lives near
Neshanic, thought it a proper occasion for
family gathering in honor of the event.
There were present his two sons, John
aud Samuel-the former of Neshanic and
the latter OF Trenton--and their wives,
and his two daughters and their hus-
bands-Mrs. d. v. L. Schenck, of Della
ware township, and Mrs. A. d. Wilson,

children, eleven 10 number: Geo. Corle,

slaughter in connection with the death Of
John Burd, Qhe facts concerning which
have already been published 10 The
RECORD, was closed on Tuesday OF last
week, and the jury after twenty-four
hours elaboration, returned verdict of
not guilty.
We have heard this trial spoken OF as re-
fleeing great credit upon the opposing coun
sci, an unusual amount of ability having
been shown both in the prosecution and de-
fence. Prosecutor Chamberlain was ably
assisted by Chas. A. Skillman, Esq, OF
this city, and the Hunterdon Republican
says of him:
ssThe Prosecutor was assisted by Chas.
A. Skillman, whom we have heard highly
compimented for his skill In obtaining
evidence, and also for his mastery argu-
| ment 10 summing up the case. !"
The defence was conducted jointly by

have been told that the argument OF Mr..
Trimmer did him great credit. His adj
dress brought tears 10 many eyes and his
reasoning had deep effect upon the jury.
