more than journey to lake or river

forth a fresh arc'n.. which invigorates
and rejuvenates; the solitude which
settles all about, broken only by the

Younu Dexter Acquitted.

Dedham.-Harris Il. Dexter, IA
years old, was acquitted by the jury
which has considered the charge of
manslaughter against him, for killing
'his little brother Parker, II years DID,
at Randolph, March o.
The court was filled with friends and
spectators, who counted the minutes
while the jury was out. Finally the
door O sned and the jurymen filed in.
Quickly the formal questions were
put to the foreman and his associates,
and the reply, mot guilty" caused a
sigh of relief.
The boy seemed least of all affected,
while his father and mother gave way
to their emotions.
my boy" cried the mother, as she
gathered her only remaining child to
her bosom, and sobbed.
Then the father, weeping, yet de-
lighted that he was to have his boy
with him, led the little fellow by the
hand from the courtroom. and, with
the mother and counsel Judge Grover,
speedily departed for Randolph.
Before starting. Mrs. Dexter chok-
ingly thanked the jurors, while Mr..
Dexter thanked every person around
the court, and declared that he bore
no malice toward any person.
District Attorney French was happy
too. He was willing to lose the case,
which he manfully prosecuted, as be-
came his duty. Nevertheless, he ex-
pressed pleasure that the boy had been
legally cleared of crime, and that the
death of Harris Dexter was entirely
due to the accidental discharge of a
revolver on the fateful March q. ius'
one month ago.
