that when tho substantial voters of tho tow n

that assail tho polls on all occasion. The

that a guod deal pf precious tinio is va-teib- in

On Thursday of last week Samuel liogart was
brought before Ihe Court, and upon being a-ke-i!
whether ho had any thing to say why sentence
hould not bo pronounced upon him, ho entered
into details of thedillie'ulty between himself and
mid the Klino family, and among other thing
lid that his conscience was clear and that li
had already been puni-hed more thaw ho de
served. While tho Coiutwa addicssing him
lie frequently interrupted. 1'clow we give the
remark of the Court and the sentence in full as
officially reported by S. N. Walker, A. M.
sentiinci: or Tin: coma-.
A merciful iuiv in yuur caso havo found that
vnii did not mlcnd to willully and prcmcilil.it'
ed v take the lile ot clliver A. Kline. .Mr.
iioiT'iiit, interrupting I had no more idea of
laking his life than 1 have of taking yours or
anv boilv s lieie now.! 1 bey found, however,
that you did feloniously and unlawfully kill
him. Thev have found also that it was not in
self-defe-n-i' I hat you did it, for that would have
aciiuitled you entiiely of tho charge. We are
sali-fied that the jury were justified in finding a
verdict again-t you ol at least as lilgli a grade
of ollcn-o as that which they did find man-
laughter. 1 his misdemeanor was committed
in he! i.i ion. in a moment of pa-ion, hut real
lv without that amount of provocation which in
ijw, strictly, would reduce the ollen-o even to
the giade which the jury fixed upon it. At tho
lime when vim Inflicted this moital wound upon
the person ol ellivis,A. Kline, lie was outside
.,(' or store, vet unill your pumiscs. lie de
manded vou to come one anil uie mailer coinii
lie settled. Ill a moment of passion you seized
tbiselcadly weapon and iullleted upon him that
wound which caused his death. 1 regret this
morning to hear you state that you feel as
though you had done nothing at all not ju.stilia-
hie upon your part. I would much rather havo
heaid you regret mat you nan neen icu on uy
tho injuries inllieled upon yon, as you suppose,
by the Kline family, mid that in an angry mo
ment vou had done lid great wrong, for which
on felt penitent and sorry. Mr. liogart I am,
finiir Honor nlca-e. very sorry that there has
ever any tiling of the Kind happened that I do

upon the trial, nor urged, that thi great ciime
was caused by reason of your having indulged
in Intoxicating drinks to loo great nn extent,

vejrs vou have Indulged to a largo extent in Iho

vou make this morning, that it was on account
of tremble in your family, is but of tho kind
which persons make in almost all instances
wlicre tiny have an nppetito which they are
willing to gratify, and seek somo excuse. If you
had been Ihe Samuel liogart l hut you were be
r.,r.. i),ta habit of ilriukiui: to intoxication hud
fastened iuelf upon you, yon would not havo
slood hero to-day n criminal before this Court,
It is In this source that, 1 am confident, may be
traced the greater share of your troubles, and
that your own rellcction and consideration will
i, .11 vim how near the Court are to tho truth in
regard to it. Tills, however, is no palliation for
tho ollenio which you havo committed. Tho
lav does not permit a man voluntarily to make
idinself that which ho would not be without his
voluntary nclion, and then excuse tho wrongs

Hi. ,i tili-inoii.1 I do not know. sir. that wo could

courso of action-. You Inlng It Upon tusm
yourself. Mr. liogart If, without disturbing
on, ir your honors incase, recollect about my
Ife be-lnif threatened. 1 find run from I hem
tlmo and again, which, according to tho course
of nalurc, lliero ain't many men that would havo
done. Notwithstanding theso fact which tho
Court have stated In regard to your oUcnse, con
sidering your age, Iho Imptlsonmciit which you
havo nlrcady undergone, nud tho wreck It
makes of your fortune, wo aro disposed to bo
merciful, nnd wo trut that when you properly
comldcr tho subject you will also come to the
conclusion that tho Court wcro merciful in your
cie. mctlni' out to vou certainly no more than
you deserved.
Iho sentence or Iho court is that you, Samuel
Pogart, pay a fino of three hundred ($300) dol
lars and Ihe cot of prosecution ; and that you
undergo imprisonment by separate nnd solitnry
confinement i,t labor in the penitentiary for tho
eatcrn district, for the term of tlireo years j
and that you stand committed until thi sentence
I compiled Willi: and that lliu sbcrifl conduct
you thither within leu days and bo allowed ono
a-siiaiu.
Peter A. and F. M. Kline were then brought
up, nnd after tho Court had listened to eloquent
remark on behalf of Iho defendants by Col.
l-re-e.o and F. It, lkeler, the following sentence
wa pronounced upon them :
ion have been convicted of infictiiiE malic
iously, unlawfully, a grcviou bodily harm upon
tho person of Samuel liogart. At tho time
wlicn tills injury wa Inflicted, Samuel liogart
wa in the custody of the law; ho wa bound,
under bonds of ten thoU'Jiid ($10,000.00) dol
lars, to nppcar hero and answer tho serious
charge of having taken tlie life of your father.
The law that lie-Id him in bonds was abundantly
able to vindicato itself without personal violence
at the hands of the relatives of the deceased.
o are satisfied, clearly satisfied, with the ver
dict that the jury rendered ; and In that is im
plied a conspiracy upon your parts to Inflict
tills injury upon Samuel liogart ; it could not
have been accomplished in any other manner
than by a previous agreement and understand
ing on your part in rcfcrcuco to it, and that
makes your ollenso much greater than if it had
been committed under any other circumstances.
Wc aro by no mean satisfied that all the per
sons, inmates of that family, who have been In
introduced hero as witnesses were parties to anv
Vtuch understanding we are by no mean satis-
lied mat that was llio cae, hut that Iho matter
was planned uy you and carried out, we think
was established so that the jury believed, and
ought to have believed it. There seems to have
been a feud existing between your families, yon.
the brotbcis-ln-law, and Samuel Dogart. And
when lie was placed in jeopardy, it would seem
as though vou sought and seized that occasion,
...i t.il.. ....;..!,... i .i ,.!...
ue-ii piuiiiu opinion ooiu i, inn upon mm, io
wreak your vcuireance upon him. The defense
that you made as to tho facts that yon could
not have been the guilty parties wholly failed
before the jury, and the introduction of somo of
the evidence which was brought by you hero to
exculpate yourselves shows that you were not
only capable of committing a ciime, but al.-o of
reselling to extreme measures to avoid the pen
alty. And yet, cor.iderinir all tho circuin-tances of
the case, considering that the iniury which vou
indicted wa not of a lastinc: kind, (although the
Court instructed the jury and wo fiel that wo
aio oounil to instruct, now and herealtcr, in
every case that sucli an iniury a you inl.ictcd
upon Samuel liogart is, within the meaning of
the law, a grovbms injury that the smearing
of n man's face, hi eyes, Ids mouth, with a com
jinsilion such as that which you put upon him,
injuring his eyesight and inflicting degradation
upon him by tarring him, nnd perhaps with the
intention of going still further if you had not
been inteirnplcd, con-titutas in fact and in law
a grievous bodily harm,) it is to be hoped that
uie punishment which the ejouit will millet on
you, although not of so severe n character as we
might inllict. by any mcan, it is to be hoped
that that which will be indicted will in-
luce you hereafter to refrain, under all cir-
circuinstance-s, from violence to the per-on of
another, ami that you may .-co that the indul
gence of malevolent and leveiigeful dispositions,
(although forthe time biing it may seem as
though revenge were sweet), in the end brings
lutlerne-ss and trouble, ion nre young men,
:ind for those connected willi vou we cannot but
fi el sympathy. At the same time the law must
be viiidieatid not simply by n vcidiet but by
the puni-hmcnt which inil-t follow that verdict.
Jhe sentence of the Limit is that vou. and
c.uh of you pay a lino of one bundled (100)
dollars and tho cosls ol prosecution; and lliat
you severally undergo imprisonment in the jail
of Columbia county forthe lei m of one year;
and that you stand committed till this sentence
is complied with.

n handsomely-bound volume, entitled, "The
People's Common Scnso Medical Adviser,"
and who said that ho was nn agent for tho
salo of tho book. The titlo was such
a novel ono that I was Impelled to givo
tho work a casual notice. As I hastily
glanced over its pages, 1 observed
that it contained treatises not commonly
found in medical work. Hut I had too ma
ny times been hoaxed by appearances, and I
determined that I would havo nothing to do
with it. A voico within mo like a faithful
mentor, whispered, "Know thy opportunity;
in that book is thy salvation I" I began rea
soning with myself. Although doubtful
and distrustful, yet t put fortli my hand to
tako tiio book, and; loi tho agent wa3 gone!
I was miserable. In .ny agony I awoke.
Great drops of perspiration wcro upon my
brow. Hy my bedsido was a friend who had
called during iny slumber to seo inc. Said
my friend, "I have brought with mo a book
just published, which I thought might in
terest you," Ono glance at tho work, audi
was assured that it was "The People's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser," by Dr. H.V.
Pierce, of Itulfalo, N". Y. Surely, this was tho
veritable book wliiclilhadsecn in my dreams.
My friend loaned mo tho work, and ovcrv
day, as my strength permitted, I perused its
pages. Although it contained very interes
ting treatises on Iliology, Cerebral Physiology
Human Temperaments, Nursing of tho Sick,
etc., yet being an invalid, I was most inter
csteel in tho subject o( Diseases and Heme
die. I bcliovecl that I had liver affection,
and yet more than one medical attendant
had pronounced my disease Consumption,
and tliatlwotild fall with tho autumn leaves.
In that book I found my symptoms perfectly
portrayed. I was then confident that I had
not deceived myself. I reasoned thus ; "Any
man who can sb truthfully depict my feeling
and apparently understands my constitutio
nal tendencies, must know jttt what my phy
sicial system demands. I will trust my case
with Dr. Pierce. 1 will tako his Golden
Medical Discovery as recommended for my
di.-easo." The result is, that alter having
per.-evcringly followed his prescribed treat
ment, I once again enjoy tho blessings of
health. Therefore, 1 would say to tho
alllicted, "Know thy opportunity," and
take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Hon Hovcrdy Johnson, tho distinguished

Thursday at Annapolis, in tho 80th year of
his age. Mr. Johnson was born at Annapo
lis, on May 21, 1700. Ho inherited the le
gal acumen nnd judicial cast of mind for
Which ho was so eminent, being tho son of
1 Ion. John Johnson, Chief Judge of the
First Judicial District of Maryland, and af-
terwauls Chancellor of that State. After
r.uluating at St. John's College, Annapo
lis, ho studied law with his father, and was
ldmitted tu the liar on the completion of
his 21st year. Ho aciiuiicd a large practice,

tho decisions of the Maryland Court of Ap
peals, tho seven volumes of "Harris and
Inhiison's Reports' having been chiefly
prepared by him. In 1S17 ho removed t'j

Deputy Attorney General of tho State. In

of Insolvent Debtors. From 18:21 to lSil

IlAltlilsliuiKi, Feb. 10, 187C.
The momentous political questions in
Issue has called homo all of our Inw-innkers
to the elections which camo oir yesterday.
For tho representatives from Philadelphia
to sit quietly in their scats and transact
business whllo tho Spring elections nro trans
piring would bo next to nn Impossibility,
Last year they wero not able to lufusoa
sufficient degreo of patriotism Into tho
minds of their fellow representatives from
the' country districts to effect an ailjoiirn
incnt on tills occasion, this year however,
whether fear of constituency on tho part of
country delegates was less mocked or argu
ments brought to bear upon them moro
powerful nn adjournment from Friday last
until to-night was accomplished and every
representative availing himself of tho oppor
tunity to visit his home, tho Legislature
chambers for the past tlireo days havo been
'liko somo banquet hall deserted" vacancy
being relieved only by tho periodic presenco
of some sleepy officer or disconsolate reporter.
For tho session to-nlglit thero is n show for
slim attendance in both houses though somo
action on tho county salary bill is antici
pated. The loose manner in which tho tax bill
reported by tho llouso committco on Ways
and Mcaii,oii Friday, is framed excites con
siderable comment. Great expectations of
this bill wero entertained, which its itclul
lias sadly disappointed. It modifies and rc
reviac -all tho tax laws in existence in this
State, but in such a mixed up manner as to
bo almost unintelligible. It will require a
careful remodelling beforo it becomes a law,
or our system of taxation will bo much moro
complicated in tho futtiro than it has been
in the past, liosido the bill abovo mentioned
soveral other tax bilks aro pending which
must bo incorporated in it, or in somo other
manner disposed of.
In tho general appropriation bill of 1871
an appropriation was mado by tho Stato for
tho purpose of removing and burying in a
inorosuitablo manner and placo tho Con
federate dead buried on tho field of Gettys
burg and at dlirbrcnt points through Adams
and Franklin counties. Dr. Fahnestolk of
Gettysburg was appointed by Gov. Geary as
trustee of this fund ; frtr somo unknown
reason no action was ever taken in the mat
ter nor tho money lifted from the Stato
Treasury. Last week Major Harry Kyd
Douglass of Ilngerstowu Maryland, an ex
Confederate officer and member of Stone
wall Jackson stall' appeared before the House
appropriation committco in reference to this
matter asking that another trustee bo ap
pointed and the money applied to the object
for which itwas appropriated. Mr. Doug
lass is an ablo talker and is said to have
mado an eloquent appeal to tho committee.
During tho late war Gov. Hailranft and
Maj. Douglas met under interesting circum
stance. At the scige of Fort Stcadniaii tliey
camo together under a Hag of truce and dis
covered that thev were graduates of tho
line college Franklin and Marshall and
niembers of tho samo college fraternity a
bond of friendship was established between
theiu then which has not been forgotten in
later velars.
On Thursday evening (to-morrnw) Gov.
llartianft and lady givo their second ic
ception of the season. A largo num'ier of
strangers are expected, and tho occasion
bids fair to lie a most brilliant one.
We hope in our next communication to
record the maturing of somo important leg
islation,
There are two editors twenty tlireo phy
sician, eighteen lawyers, and twelve clergy
men in the Insane asylum at llarrisburg,
When ii man earning a salary of fifteen
lollars per week can dress his wile as well
as a man earning $H),i)rfi per year, what's
the use of earning $10 000 per year?
