its advice when it says in its issue of last

people of the county • should look after
sharply and hold the commissioners ti) a
strict account for, and from - which noth
ing should absolve their consciences, and
that is the proper care of the insane. Na
new cues of;insanity should be sent to
the poor house. Until it is demonstrated
by treatment at an tutylum that a case • of
insanity is hopeless, it is an act of cruelty
to send the person to a placeirhere neither
the treatment nor the surroundings are
such as to stimulate recovery. Defective
as our asylumi are, they are the best
places for the new insane, and statistics
show that like many other diseases, in
sanity is susceptible of cure in a majority
of cases if taken at an early 'stage of the
illness'. The large number of cases turn
ed out of our asylums cured or on the
road to recovery are evidence of their
success in 'treating thiediftlonit and per
plexing disease."

DR. D C. SCOTT.
We take the following brief obituary
notice of a former resident of this place
from the Eureka (California) Telephone
of January 28th. The subject of the no
tice was a son of the late Juige Scott,
and a brother of Mrs. Burton Kingsbury,
Mrs. General Madill, Hon. H. , Lawrence,
Luther H., and William Scott. He went
to California alxiut twenty-five years ago:
SUDDEN LyEATII OF DR. D. C. SCOTT.
—About 3 o'clock -yesterday afternoon
the announcement was made that Dr. D.
C. Scott, of this city,: had been stricken
with apoplexy. He was engaged in his
office on F. street, at the time, and sum
moned W. J. McLaren to his assistance.
That gentleman followed his instructions
as far as temporary relief, was concerned,
Dr. Scott having been subject to slight
attacks of a similar nature for some time
past. But this proved to be a more sou
vere one than usual, and Dr. Davis was
called. He applied all the remedies which
could be of benefit, but the patient did
not rally, and at 5 o'clock be was remov
ed to his home at the corner of sth and
E streets. It only remains to be said that
medical aid proved unavailing, and that
our lamented fellow-citizen breathed his
last about 8 o'clock in the evening.
This brief tribute is due to - the depart
ed : Dr. Scott was a cordial, candid gen
tleman, firm in his friendships, and ono
who would not advance his own interests
to the detriment of his fellow man. During
a 15 years' acquaintanceship we have never
bad occasion to hold him in other than the
highest esteem, and we have reason, to
believe that the same mead of praise was
generally awarded him in this - communi
ty. We write this with, regretful feelings,
and trust that He who " tempers the wind
to - the shorn lamb" will be with the
mourning family in their great trial.-
, The funeral service over the remains of
ouideceosed friend and neighbor will be :
conducted by Dr. Lathrop, at Christ .
Church, at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
The burial service at Myrtle Grove Ceme
tery, will be under the auspices of the
:Masonic. fraternity.

Probably no murder trial ever known
is Bradford County excited less interest
thin the one jattried. The low &inc.
tiiiintit - priiimiers, aid the fact thatihe
girl was almost !unknown whose alleged
reurderwas the:foundvtion of the Indict
ment, produced.an indifference in the re
sult of the trial which is unusual in cases
of the kind:
Tbe history of the eme has been given
already..but a brief statement
_of it again
may not be without interest. The girl,
Dora Mann, was found hanging from a
tree after having been dead several m.eks.
Suspicion pointed to her adopted parents
as murderers, and they were. arrested.
The evidence showed that Susan Mann
was airman of violenhemper, and that
on numerous occasions she bad by throw
ing scissors, and cruel beating, endanger
ed the safety of the girl. There had been
also deception practiced by the jwisonCrs
in concealing facti about the whereabo4ts
of the and statements were made ap
parently to mislead the public. The ex
clamation of Mrs. Mani, whets' the news
that the girl had been found was csommn
*Skated to her, "My God, where is she 2"
was also taken to indicate guilt ; sev
eral witnesses testified . to what was as-
Burned to be au attempt to escape. •
The evidence was airmail wholly cir
cumstantial, but there were eki many cir
cumstances pointing to Mrs. Mann as the
guilty party, that a conviction seemed
piobable to many from the first, although
the defence thought, that there was at
least a reasonable douht of her guilt. The
evidence was very Convincing that the
girl bad been murdered by-some one, and
the attempt to show that it was a case of
suicide, was a failure. Dora Mann had
been murdered, and the statement's made
by Mrs. Mann, the evidence of Campbell
that he had seen her gesticulating in' an
angry manner and talking to Dora, and
afterward heard screams ; and the testi
mony of Leonard to seeing her the same
evening with "hair streaming &Am her
back, hands clinched and apparently
much excited," and other circumstances
made it probable titat-Mre. Mann was the
cause of her death. That she intended
to kill her is probisbly - doubtful,. and the
evidence does not absolutely prove that
she did it,; but there is good reason to be
lieve that she struck Dora in anger ar.d
killed her, and then attempted to cover
the crime by an awkward hanging to sug
gest suicide. The trail where the prose
cution asserted the dead girl was ;drawn
from the house through the fields to the
tree was not perfectly sustained, but there
was some proof of it ; and altogether a
network of circumstances, somewhat im
perfect, but still fall of incidents not easi
ly reconcilable with any other theory than
that of guilt, was thrown.around the
prisoner, and the jury believed her guilty.
Had she previously borne a good char
acter, the verdict would probably have
beer different ; but the circumstances at
tending Dora Mann's disappearance, the
conduct of Mrs. Mann when told that she
had been found, with the former cruel
treatment of the girl, reinforced by the
bad character of the prisoner were too
much for the defence to overcome. The
calk' is a dark one, full of mystery and
unpleasant acts, and' unless Mrs. Mann
should make a confession there must al
ways be some doubt of her guilt.
Her counsel revealed her character
when be said, tha hills of west Brad
ford were echclng with the cries of peo
ple searching ' ,l for the lost girl, _ and all
were believing that Mrs. Mann bad mur
dered her." It must be a good defence
better than is generally possible for a hu
man being to make, when a verdict is ob
tained against strong circumstantial evi
dence, and the nrusnimona sentiment of
the people.. .
Ono think - was remarkable about the
trial ; theatoical indifference of the pris
oner. She faced calmly every witness,
her large dark eyes looking unflinchingly
at the men, and who even swearing to
facts which •it would seen must strike
terror_to the heart of• any one charged
with crime whether guilty or innocent';
and only by occasional.whispers to her
counsel did she pay any more attention to
the trial , than any interested spectator
might have done. She is a woman of
nerve, and bore as well as any one could
..the strain upon her,_
The evidence in the /case *as closed
on Friday afternoon and the summing
up' by the counsel was begun in the
evening, Messrs. Fanningl and Morgan
addressing the jury. Saturday morning
Messrs. brake and Rockwell made the
.closing pleas, • The addresies of counsel,
both for and against the prisoners, were
able and were listened to with the closest
attention by jury and audience. At 1:30
p. m., Judge Morrow began his charge
to the4ury,occupying just one hour in its
delivery.. It was a very clear and lucid
statement of the law relating to the dif
ferent degrees of murder, manslaughter.
etc., followed by an impartial summing
up of the evidence on both sides. The
jury retired at .1:30,! and were absent
about an hour, when they returned with
a verdict as against Susan Mann of Mur
der in the second degree ; A. J. Mann
and Alice. Burr not guilty. Mrs.
•
min listened to the verdict with the
ialme stoical indifference that marked
tier deptirtment throughout the course of
the whole trial. The verdict s is received
with general satisfaction by the public. -

leaving Mrs. Hammond to- the mercy of
the home. lie attempted- to cross the
railroad ahead of the train, but failing in
this he ran up_the track aide by side of
the engine. The cylinder of the engine
must have tipped the buggy, and threw
Mrs.- Hammond on - the aide track upon
which another train was coming, but
which stopped before coming to her. She
rolled off between the two tracks, and the
'next; instant the buggy was thrown over
a rod on one aide of the train, and the
horse on the other. The horse was hurt
very badly and the buggy smashed. Mrs.
Eisunmond's 'hip is very badly braised,
and the ligaments of her arm sprained.
She rests in an invalid chair, and although
slowly recoveringshe may not , walk fora

verely injured on the legs and head. Al
together it was a most frightful accident;
and a very Providential escape. M

IN MEMORIAM.
Starox S,. 'Moony died in, Chaim, Ogle
Co. 111., J 16th, 1882 in the 87th year
of his age. He wan home in Sheshequirr
Bradford Co. Pa.,in May. The parents
N. P. Moody an wife came.from Massa
chusetts some tines months previous to
the birth of the child. In 1783 the first
white settlers pitched their tents in the
beautiful valley of Sheshequin, and
among them was Gen. Simon Spaulding
who was very much respected ;and-es
teemed by his neighbors, and Mr. Moody
named the child Simon Spaulding.
A few•months later the family moved
over the hills, aided in their course by
marked trees, to the valley of their.
Wysox,
some ten miles distant where the _village
of Rome is now located. Here Simon
remained at the parental fire side until
he obtained his majority, and then went,
to Deckers Ferry ; since known as Hyatt's
Ferry about four miles below Owego
N. ~
He married Lovina Hicks of Cheranng
N. Y., and soon afterward moved to the
we-tern fiontier settling in Vigo county,
India= About the time of the break
ing ouk r of the gold excitement he „joined
a wagon-train and after months of un-
told hardships, himself and family arriv
ed at the fancied Eldorado. While pass
ing through Utah he wrote to friends
that the Mormons were the worst people
he ever aaw. Fortunately he was not at
the Mountain Meadow massacre or he
would not have been left to express an
opinion regarding that peculiar peo
ple. In the spring of 1881 he returned
to Ogle Co. 111., where he was tenderly
cared for by a son and a daughter who
spared no pains to make his few remain
ing daysias comfortable and pleasant as
possible. He retained in a remarkable
degree both his'mental and physical fadul
ties up to the hour of his death. On the
evening of. January 10th he retired in his
usual health and& in a few minutes the
family hoard an unusual noise,- and on
entering, his room found him dying.
