i
Trial or x Catholic Priest is YiacisiA. I
for Mcrdsr. The trial at Staunton, Ya., cf
tho Rev. Daniel Downey, a Catholic Priest,
for the murder of a man named Mullins, has
ended by the disagreement of the jury, nine
being for conviction of murder in the second
degree, and three for acquittal. The circum
stances of this murder were detailed at the
time of its occurrence, several months since.
Mullins had seduced a girl named Margaret
Lee, who had been in the employment of Mr.
Downey as housemaid. Downey Bent for him
to Induce him to marry the girl." A quarrel
sprang up between . the two on the interview,
in the course of which Mullins was shot. The
plea of self-defense was set up by the prison
er's counsel on the trial, and well snstained
by'tbe testimony.: The case will lie over till
next' term, six months hence, the prisoner
meanwhile will iremain in jail. The general
belief, is that he will be ultimately acquitted
Ho was a popular man iu his district. V
jSwALLOWDto a Sled. The power of strong
drink was forcibly illustrated at one of the
Pittsfleld saloonst ' -' ' :
It seems that a certain old soaker had been
building a "bob-sled" lor the proprietor, and
vetting his whistle pretty freely at the bar,
on account." as the work went on.' At last
the bar-keeper remarked
"What, , you here again T Why you have
drank that sled all up, except the pole, now !'
The customer was taken by surprise for
a moment, but leaning resolutely over the bar,
exclaimed ' -, ' : ' '
t"Well, look a here, old feller, give us the
pole then." . ;
'Toper swallowed the pole !
i Da. FaAXKxra's Toast At a dinner of the
Foreign Ministers, the British Minister gave :
England The Sun, whose bright beams en
lierbten and fructify the remotest corner of
the earth. ' V '.
. The French Ambassador followed with i
France The Moon, whose mild, steady and
cheering rays are the delight of all nations
controlling them in the darkness, and making
their dreariness beautiful.
Dr. Franklin then rose and, with his usual
dignity and simplicity, said :
: George Washington The Joshua who com
manded the Sun and Moon to stand still and
they obeyed him.
" ' Waikixo ahd PcreAir Anaximines taught
that air is mind. Some one else says air is
the hidden food of life. Plutarch seems to
incline to 'Anaximines' opinion, remarking
that perhaps the reason why there is a sympa
thy or feeling on various subjects arises from
breathing the same air. Air is an exhalation
of all the minerals of the globe ; the roost e
laboratelv finished of all the works of the Cre
ator. All classes of men affirm this. Sydney
bmitli says to public speakers that if they
would walk twelve miles before speaking,they
would never break down. In English univer
sities, boat races, horseback rides, and ten
mile walks are a part of the educational means
for physical development. Plato says a walk
in the open air will almost cure a guilty conscience.

An honest farmer, having a nnmber of men
hoeing in his field, went out to see how his
work went on. Finding one of them sitting
still, he inquired the cause. The man an-
swered, "I thirst for the spirit."
'Grog, you mean, I suppose," said the far
mer, "but if the Bible teaches you to thirst
after the spirit,' it says also 'Hoe ! every one
that ibirsteth.' "
In a certain benighted part of the country
may be seen, on the outside of an humble
cottage, the following incription in large gilt
letters : "A seminary for young ladies."
This was perhaps too abstruse, for the villagers,

rude characters, "Noty bene also a gall's
