Bowman Declared Guilty.

The trial of William Penn Bowman
for the murder of the Arabian peddler,
near Wilkes-Barre, in September last
was begun on Thursday. The interest
in the case was so great that people stood
at the court room door for hours waiting
for chance to get in. The most sensa
tional feature OF the trial occurred when
Mike John, the Arabian companion of
the murdered man, and who was wound.
Ell at the time Of the shooting, gave his
testimony.
The witness was asked which of the
men did the shooting, and, leaving the
witness stand, walked over to the defen
dants table, and placing his hand or
Bowman's shoulder, said: "This is the
man." Bowman was greatly agitated
He tried to draw his chair away when
the Arabian approached, turned red and
white, looked up into his accuser's face
and then down on the floor, and finally
covered his face with his hands.
The case was on when court adjourn.

Acquitted on Friday.

John Ninosky, of Eckley, who was ar
rested on October 20, charged by Kune-
gend Rozoesky with attempting to blow
up her house with dynamite, was on
Friday acquitted at Wilkes-Barre. The
testimony against him, showed that he
had made threats against the woman
for refusing to marry him, but the prose
cutor failed to prove that he was near
the building when the explosion occurred.
1t is alleged that some of the witnesses
were afraid of Vinosky and did not tell
all they knew of the affair.

Must Not Give Pain,

AT meeting of the city teachers of
Wilkes-Barre it was announced that the
Humane Society threatened to arrest
some of the teachers for putting a mouse
to death by depriving it of air under the
receiver of an air pump. Another in
stance was cited where butterfly was
impaled on pin and allowed to die.
Superintendent Coughlin, in address,
ing the teachers on the subject, thought
it might be well for teachers to take
pains not to give needless pain to any
specimen in science teaching. 1t is like
ly, however, that fear of prosecution
will deter many teachers from expert
menting with mice and butterflies in
the future.

From every row ascending
The actor gives a gracious pause,
To those before low bending,
Admired OF all the ladies rare;
What compliments they utteri
How many hearts amid the fair
Are now set in autterl
The play goes on, the curtain falls
Upon the act Of splendor;
Each heart emotional recalls
It's incidents so tender.

Imagination rules serene,
And fancy's what we make it,

Has got 1T of laughter;
The leading man, from toll released,
A sandwich has sent after.
The pasteboard rocks are put aside,
The lovely sylphs are yawning;
The dancing girls in plain clothes hide,
No beaux around them fawning.
The funny men are scowling now,
And he who gold dust scattered
Upon the scene, with happy brow,
Looks doleful now and shattered.
And so II Is throughout the days
OF this our life uncertain'
To view it truly, you must gaze
On both sides Of the curtain.
