Judge O'Brien, in his charge commont- ug on the testimony given by the in- ormors, said that although Carey had ivory conceivable motive and inducement to give in his evidence statements oalou- ated to serve his own purposes, that he lad told a straight, forward story and one which did not himself. The ury were exhorted to consider, however, hat if he bad been detected in swearing alsoly that the crown would be justified proceeding against him the same as against the other prisoners.

same oneral rule was applicable to all the nformers. There was not evidence to upport the suggestion made in his peeoh by Counsel Adames that the per- ons present in the park as the principals were now all safe in France or the United states. The reverse waa the case, The videnoe went to show that those men who were iu the park with object of mur- ler were luvinoibles, although some per- IODa who were cognizant of the plan and were not there might not have been mem- rn of that brotherhood. In concluding ils charge, be asked the jury to dwell on evidence with that solemn consideration of its points, which was due, and to decide whether any reasonable doubt ex- sted as to the guilt of the accused.

Women of fashion admitted him to their boudoirs during the finishing touches of their toilets with entire certainty that no scandal would arise therefrom, In like manor the dude is a sort of tame cat, not exactly a woman but considered less than a man. Unfortunately the dude doesn't recognize his own portrait.

It is about time now when the careful old mother will bring her paper bags filled with seeds down from the garret, where they have been suspended from a rafter out of the rench of rats and mice. She puts these selected seeds where they will do the moat good, and very probably lay a few aside for her less provident neighbors to finger Hound. The road mending season will soon bo here, when township supervisors should see to it that the finger boards arc in their places at the cross roads. This Is a groat evil and annoyance to travelers who are strangers to the cross loads of the country. Many of the boards are missing entirely, others point the wrong way, and Btill others don't toll the truth.

of tho naval observatory, but he does not explain why this great oomet has failed to be recognized since the of Constantino The Cold of April. To-day we pass by what has been reckoned from very ancient days "the three cold days of April." Few of tho weather phenomena in this country are more re markable or less easy of explanation than the faot that about the time, from the 10th to the 14th of April, the temperature generally falls considerably below that due at this time of the year. They have been called "the borrowing days," that is, spring borrows a few cold days from winter. Now, the people who lived before the time the "old style" was changed to the "new style," noticed this peculiarity of the weather, but then it was the first three days of April, and the change of style brings it exactly to where it is now, the 12tb, 18tu and 14th of the month, the three days spring is borrowing from winter. atode of The officials of the Heading road 'have been experimenting with mirryrs at Bob.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was on tho 5th taut at Harper's School lotue, in Lehlgh township, Northatnp- county, by the friends of the hanna and Delaware Illver railroad, whose line occupies Northampton county om the Lehigh river to the Delaware. L'ho president of the company, Damon kT. Kllgoro, of Philadelphia, made a 'orcible address, showing the indisputable rights, and powers of the company in he exercise of their their company had the only practical line hrough Northampton county, whore a remunerative line for locomotive use can ho had. That it afforded to all the great corporations who had their rise in Pennsylvania the shortest route from this State to Now York and Boston, that the Northampton county division was a golden link in this chain of ment, and that it behooved every citizen of the county for their own interests as agriculturalists and owners of rich slate ands to aid its cons true tion. After the President bad concluded his address, Iliohard Osborno, Chief En- glueor gave a glowing account of tho prospects of the company.

He said that after an experience of 40 years as a railroad engineer ho recommended this company as one worthy tho entire confidence of tho officers, men of integrity and capability, who wore making a vigorous effort to build an honest railroad, in which those who put in their abor or property would in proportion be the owners of the road. He said that as a link in a through line this road would command the attention of corporations, and that its stock would be very valuable. The' pooplo have been 'supplying freely the right of way. Stock subscriptions have been opened through the county on the line of the railroad which subscriptions were started at the mooting, and names were put down as subscribers to the stock. The work has been in contractors hands for the last eight months, and the intention is to complete the road from the connection with the Lehigb and Busque- iinnna railroad to the slate quarries of the Henrys' and Hewers', in tho coming season.

This company does not carry about a basket of bogus coin to gain undeserved confidence, nor do they put urge trees lengthwise over marshy places and cover lightly with brush and gravel in order to deceive honest people with a half million dollar mortgage and worthless bonds. On the contrary they have quietly been at work to build a real, substantial, road and it looks as if they had the true crossing of the Lehigh river and would Blatington News, The following is the jury list for April session of court, comtnencinc April ICth.
