More perfect weather for the teach ers' institute, now in progress at the court house, could not bo wished, and tho largo attendance of teachers and vis itors is an evidence of what the elements can do in that direction.

In discharging the Jury Judge Criswell stated the verdict was unreasonable and that they should have found Wheaton guilty of murder in the first degree or have acquitted him. In the light of reccut election returns in old Venango we may not be surprised at any kind of a vordict.

"Although I am a useful fowl And live on snakes and mice, And seldom show my faco by day, That seems to cut no ice.
