External evidences proved that it was the cause of his death. Cross-examined: Could speak, but was powerless all below the fracture; his mind was clear. I did not see him until o'clock in the evening, thinking he was laying at another place. Did not think it was a frac ture at first ; judged it to be a concussion. Was not able to tell the extent of the injury, but still thought it a fracture. Dr. Clinger, Dr. Atlee and myself, all agreed it was a fracture, A stroke of apoplexy would not have the effect it did ; a blow a twist or a a fall on the head and shoulders might cause the injury. The Court then adjourned until Wednes day morning at 9 o'clock. Morning.—Court opened at 9 o' clock . Dr. Clinger affirmed: Attended Good with Dr. Kendig ; was called in in consultation; on the 3d day after the examination came to the conclusion that there was a disloca tion of the cervical verterbraa with fracture ; the arms, upper and lower extremities, were paralyzed ; bladder also; but natural; head not disturbed; brain all right; no evidence of injury there; dislocation of fracture of the spinal column caused the paralysis, and cut off the spinal communi cation. Cross-examined: Made no post mortem examination till after death; opened his neck ; found the tifth cervical vertebrae driven and fractured, pressing upon the spinal marrow, which must be so when dis placed; Dr. Kendig and I `'made the post mortem examination; made the examina tion iu the morning; I used the knife; ex humed him and made the examination; it was not necessary to make further exami nation ; brain all right; his muscles were as sound as when he died ; the skin some what decomposed ; well preserved body; attended him in his illness with Dr. Kinzer; attended after the third day, up till a day or two of his death ; the fracturo was in the lower part of the neck ; there are seven cervical vertebrae ; severed at the fifth ; if the fourth had been fractured he would have died instantly; any fracture above the fifth would cause death ; below the fifth it would not hurt respiration ; a short twi M. or stroke might cause the fracture; if thrown on his head or shoulders would cause it; a man's weight might cause it, if falling on his neck, Dr. Keudig assisted Dr. Clinger in the examination : Found all what Dr. Clinger said verified ; all the symptoms proved that there was no other cause for his death but 'n the fracture. Cross-examined: Dislocation is caused iy the fracture: he might have recovered 'win dislocation without fracture ; the bone could not have been replaced to restore him; the attempt might cause death.

The defence closed and the jury was being addressed by Hon. I. E. Hiester, one of the counsel for the defence, when the court ad journed till the afternoon. Irednesacty Afternoon.—The Court re-as sembled at 2.1 o'clock, when Hon. I. E Hiester resumed and finished his address to the jury in behalf of the defendant. He was followed by D. G. Eshleman, Esq., also for the defence. 0. J. Dickey, Esq., closed for the Commonwealth, after which the jury was charged by Judge Long. His Honor very clearly defined the difference between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. The jury were instructed, if they agreed, to bring in a sealed verdict, and the Court adjourned until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock, Thursday Morning.—The jury in the case of the Com'th. vs. Hiram Shank, returned a sealed verdict of guilty in the manner and form of the indictment, with a recommen dation to the mercy of the Court. Com. vs. Edward Ba3lor, Larceny, 'The defendant, a colored individual "freedman," was charged with taking a blue overcoat • (army mate), the property of John. Snavely; out of a mbiu car at Columbia, Lest Odra*. Its value was ten dollars. Mr. 'Snavely - Sound a coat similar to ; it in Baylor's pos .l4salon about a month afterwards. The coat was produced in Court. He recognized the coat by several Marks, such as ,two, blaCk spots in the sleeve, the lining tore.,— . The defence was that the coat belonged to Baylor, he having brought it from Vir ginia, having served a term as a servant in the army. He left it at Chambersburg and sent for it last November. The spots in each arm were but the army mark, designating the different sizesof the coats. Pockets had been placed in the coat, which it appears Baylor's wife done. • The only strong'point against Baylor was aboutthe buttons, which bad been removed from the coat and found in his possession. This was explained by Baylor, as removed by his wife to prevent its seizure as an army coat. The jury re turned a verdict of not guilty. The case of the Com. vs. A. R. Hess, a clerk of the election for Manor township, charged with a misdemeanor in refusing to record the name of a voter, was settled by payment of costs, &c. The Court then adjourned. Saturday Morning.—The CoUrt of Quar ter Sessions convened this morning at 9 o'clock. D. G. Eshleman, Esq., one of the counsel of Hiram Shank, convicted of in voluntary manslaughter, moved a new trial for the following reasons: Ist. The facts proven constituted, if any thing, the offence of voluntary manslaugh ter, and therefore a conviction for involun tary manslaughter was improper. 2nd. There was no evidence in the case to warrant a verdict of guilty of involuntary manslaughter. 3rd. The verdict was against the law, as laid down by the Court. 4th. The verdict was against the law and the evidence. sth. That Henry Gall, one of the jurors in the case, on Tuesday, the 2'3d of May, 1864, about 12 o'clock, noon, and after he had been selected and sworn as a_ uror, in a conversation with Christopher Wenditz and Nathaniel Jenkins, used language to the etlect that he thought the defendant would be convicted on account of threats that he had made against Good, and that defendant was quarrelsome in his disposi tion and ought to be punished; and that the facts did not come to the knowledge of de fendant till:after the rendition of the verdict. The motion for a new trial will be argued at the Court which meets on the 3d Monday The recognizance of the defendant was further respited until the August Session. There was no further bnsiness of much niporhwee transacted. ANNIVERSARY OF THE DIAGNOTHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY.—Last Friday the Di aguothian Literary Society of Franklin and Marshall College celebrated its thirtieth an niversary. Fulton Hall was crowded with the beauty and the fashion of the city,,and the occasion was in all respects a most plea sant and interesting one. The stage was dec orated, and a canopy of flags in front made up a most tasteful arrangement. The opening prayer by Rev. Saml. Laird, of Trinity Lutheran Church, was most elo quent and appropriate. The Prologue, written by Wm. M. Hall, Esq., was a well written poem, full of bright fancies and well-set images. The language was chaste, and the whole production above the average of such things. It was decided ly well delivered by Charles E. Gast, of this city. The first oration of the evening, by Philip D. Baker, of this city, was a fair literary production on " Peace," showing some con siderable thought, and at least a respectable command of language. Like most young men, he was a little too ambitious in the treatment of his subject, and sometimes went out of his way for the purpose of bringing in an idea or allusion for the sake of effect. Still, the speech was highly cred itable, and it was delivered in an earnest, natural, and effective manner. Perhaps there was a little too much violence of ges ture, but that is a fault more easily reme died than its opposite of dullness. "The Man of the World," by J. F. Wiant of Curllsville, Pa. This oration differed from those ordinarily gotten up by young men for such occasions as this; it was a less ambitious subject than is generally chosen, and one which seemed to afford less oppor tunity of display for the sake of effect. In this the author showed good sense, a quality which was made apparent throughout his discourse. He displayed very considerable power of analysis, and gave evidence of possessing a well trained intellect. The dandy, the selfish man, the "man of the world," was shown up in his true light, and rendered odious by contrast with higher and better styles of manhood. The delivery was good, though the voice of the speaker, which is effective naturally, needs cultiva tion ; its tones are slightly monotonous. "Webster," a eulogy by Ed. 0. Forney, of Hanover, Pa. This was a fair review of the character of Webster, with little in it that was new, but with a sufficiently skill ful grouping of incidents to make it a very respectable college • speech. The delivery was fair. "The Martyrs of Freedom," by Edgar C. Reed, of this city. This speech was in tensely patriotic, and full of pretty thoughts, clothed in eloquent words. The author dis played Inure than ordinary powers of de scription. His delivery was forcible and appropriate, and his voice really tine. He was several Limes interrupted by outbursts of applause. "Fall of the French littstile," by C. S. Mur phy, of Sterling, 111. This subject was well handled by the author, and we noticed in it quite a number of fine points, and not a few exceedingly well turned periods. The historic moral of the event was well put, and brought the house down in applause. The delivery was appropriate and effective. "Anniversary Address." This, the post of honor for the evening, was conceded by the society to P. D. Wanner, of Berks The subject—" The Spirit of the Age "—was handled with very considerable skill. It was a thoughtful and well finished produc tion, full of good sound sense. The allusions to our civil war were appropriate, and in entire good taste. The delivery was good, with perhaps a little tendency to monotony in tone of voice, and a slight redundancy in gesticulation. 'fake them, all in all, - the speeches of the evening were considerably above the ave rage of such affairs. The City Cornet Band was present, and furnished the music for the occasion. The ladies were out in force, And every speaker seemed to have numerous friends among them, judging from the number of boquets showered upon them. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.—The fol lowing additional decisions in cases from this county have been made by the Supreme Court: Cooper vs. Columbia Insurance CompAy. Judgment affirmed. Bailsman vs. County of Lancaster. Judg ment reversed. Lancaster County Bank vs. Gross. Judg ment modified, ctin. RATE OF INTEREST.—At the last session of the Legislature it was enacted that it is lawful for a party to take, in addition to the six per cent. interest on money loaned, an amount sufficient to pay the taxes as sessed on moneys at interest. This is only fair. Heretofore, and now, on every mer chantable article the purchaser was and is charged the additional of all taxes levied on such productions. Hence it is no more than right that financiers and bankers should have equal privileges with manu facturers and merchants. WINE.—To persons who are weak and sickly, the use of the Samburg port wine will restore their health and strength. Physicians, clergymen and temperance ad vocates should encourage the use of the Samburg wine, and thus aid the cause of temperance and moderation. We especially recommend it to families for its purity, ex quisite flavor and healthy properties. Med ical men certify to its valuable medicinal powers. We understood that Mr. Speer has been for years engaged in preparing and perfecting it, and that it requires a four years' process before it is fit for the market. —.AT. Y. Baptist.

ROBBERY IN A STREET RAILWAY CAR.— A Mrs, Marshall, of this city, had her pocket picked by au -whoa thief, on Friday, while riding in one of the street passenger cars in Philadelphia. Her port-monale was abstracted, the money taken out of It, and it was then returned to the pocket, A female who sat next to Mrs, Marshall was arrested for the t h eft, - — Ler Hortat MAY 29rn, Ma r -Me trade still continues dull, with one exception, and there seems tabe some irregularity in prices. 'Trout's.—The arrivals were few, being the purchase' by 1). M. Jtittarp & Co., of 7 head, in - the :dungy. On Thnrsday*lt±st, three pairs otthae bay, bloodedhorses, were shipped to Philadelphia, and 8 head sold to parties from the county. There remain on hand in the :stables 19 head of very fine horsea. Funk's.—The arrivals were: J. H. Steck man, with 15 head, from Bedford county; Groff & Longenecker, with 17 head, from Ohio, and several bought up in lots of ones and twos throughout this county. The ship ments during the week were 7 head to Phil adelphia by Jac,ob Stenger, and 40 head this morning to the same place, by Steckman, Logan and McComsey. There are 39 head remaining in the stables, which are also very fine horses. Leman dr, Cb.'s.—Several very fine horses were brdught in from the West by Frank Sales, and, bought at these stables. There have been no sales, however, during the week. Copeland & Clines.—The trade at these stables seems to have been somewhat brisker during the past week. The arrivals were Mr. Wolgamuth, with 11 head, from the Juniata Valley; 11 head bought of Steckman, from Western Pennsylvania, and 10 head bought up in Lancaster county. There were no sales, but 92 head were ship ped this morning for the Philadelphia mar ket, leaving but 3 remaining in the stables. CAL Comiso Dowx.—Our readers will be glad to learn that fuel is declining in price, and that there is every probability that before the Summer is over, coal will be as low as it was three years ago. At the coal sale at the Exchange, in New York, on Tuesday, about 20,000 tons were offered most of which were sold at the following prices : 5,000 tons lump, $6,37@6,62i ; 6,000 tons steamer, at $6,1246,271; 2,500 tons grate, at 6,6246,75; 2,000 tons egg, at 86,50 46,75 ; 3,000 tons stove, at $6,75; 1,500 tons ehestnut, at $5,63®5,861. Coal at Pottsville has been selling at 82,50 per ton. There is no demand for it even at that price. W 4 wish coal in this neighborhood would come down to something like a fair price. —On this subject a correspondent sug gests the following pertinent inquiries : Cloa./.—We see it stated that coal is now selling at the mines, in Schuylkill county, at $2.50 per ton, and the probability is that it will still reach a lower figure before the fall season. Why is it then, that the good people of this city are still compelled to pay to the coal dealers the enormous war prices f the last two; years? Have these men no consciences, or are they deaf to all ap peals to their sense of honesty and fair dealing between man and man? Have the people no remedy against the extortions practised upon them by these heartless speculators in coal, flour, meat and the other necessaries of life? If they have not, it is high time that our legislators should interpose the protection of law. LY. —The Albany Argus has the follow ing on a becoming celebration of the ap proaching Fourth of July. We most heartily second its suggestion that " the celebration of peace be reserved for that day :" "It is not long before the anniversary of our national independence is to be cele brated. Let the celebration of peace be re served for that day. Let it be regarded as the natal day of the new era, as it was of the old. Let it be a day of national, not of sectional rejoicing, devoted to the revival of a wide-embracing patriotism; a day in which the memories of this dark episode of civil war shall be consigned to oblivion, and where the recollections of American heroism and American sacrifices shall call forth the annual tributes of eloquence and poetry, and be commemorated with all the martial pomp and civic honors that a grate ful people can render." MASONIC INTELLIGENCE.—The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Penn sylvania, under the Grand Commandership of E. Stanley Goodwin, Esq., R. E. G. C., will hold their 11th Annual Conclave at Altoona on Tuesday evening, Inne 13th. A very large attendance is expected. Sir K nights will pay full fare to Altoona and will receive free passes on their return. Columbia Commandery, No. 13, of this city, hill be present on this interesting occasion. The Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, R —S. E. S. M. Masters, will meet at Al toona on Tuesday, June 13th. This body is presided over by the NI. P. Alfred Creigh, Grand Master. The Sovereign Grand Inspectors t;eneral of the 33d degree of the North Jurisdiction of the U. States, held their annual meeting recently at Boston. The States within the jurisdiction were alt fully represented. Our own State was honored by the following 11- lustrions brethren, having received the 33d and bast degree: Br.

THE BIRDS.—The spring months are fast passing away, the birds are just beginning to build their nests in the rocks and trees, and while doing so, they should be pro- 1 tected. At no time could their visit be more welcome, and the crime of killing them was never more heinous. There is every indication of a plentiful crop of worms to destroy the summer foliage of our shade trees, and considerable expense publicly and individually will necessarily be incur red to save them. Much of this will be re lieved from our shoulders by encouraging the birds to take up their dwelling place with us, which we can do by giving them protection against the idle boys who make it their sport to kill them. Let the little warblers be protected by all means.—Har risburg Patriot. —The remarks of our Harrisburg totem porary will apply with equal force to this city, and especially to the North East Ward, where we understand the henious crime of killing the birds is somewhat indulged in. It is to be hoped that the law will be strict ly enforced against all such hard-hearted offenders.

The subscriber would take this opportun ity to inform Farmers and Dealers in general, that he has commenced the manufacture of FARM IMPLEMENTS, IN NORTH WATER STREET, LANCASTER, Between Orange and Chestnut, at the Machine Shop, formerly occupied by A. F. Bair, among which are the KEELER dz BARTHEL, SEED AND GRAIN DRILL, Patented, May 20th and September 30th, 1882. Also, a first-rate Guano Sower attached if desired HORSE POWERS AND THRESHING MACHINES, WIND-MILLS, STEEL TOOTH HAY AND GRAIN RAKES —a good article. Farmers having the Kirby or the Jersey Reaper and Mower can have them repaired at short notice, as I have the castings on hand. Having had ten:years' experience in the Drill business, and having employed the best me chanics, I feel confident I can turn out good work. Persons in want of a genuine Grain Drill will be careful that they get the Reeler 44 Barthel, patent, manufactured by Jacob Bar thel, as there are others trying to put up Drills that are not genuine. Repairing of all kinds done on reasonable terms, and at short notice. By strict attention to business I hope to re ceive a liberal share of public patronage. JACOB BABT I -T. 3md
