The panel ol jurors was exhausted, and still the jury Ijck.-d one r constituting the lawful 12. F ive citizens were called from the body of me aurticace or spectators, which was large, berate one was obtained who satisfied all p.rties. Maurice Leonard was accepted, and the trial was begun.

Smith, Jaaurice Leonard. Such a grave charge as that of killing a child that was born out of wedlock, must needs produce a profound impression, and awaken a deep interest in the trial. The very na ture of the crime, charge, waa sullicieut to cause people to discuss it quite thoroughly. snd the thiiiking ones were inclined to go below the surface of the case. Said one, certainly there is something wrong with so ciety, when its criticisms ani customs sre so harsh npon those who make mistakes, that it drives them from its limits, and points the fingr of eternal earthly disgrace upon them. How htrsh its customs are, that it will drive a girl, after she has made a mistake, to screen herself from its stig ma, to plunge into the seething whirlpool of crime, and be guilty of all kinds of intrigne, and end with murder. Said ano'her, Yes, it seems hard that customs of society are so drawn, and laws are so framed, but excess es of all kinds are forbidden by the Good Book. The flrst command was, so Tar thou mayest go, but no farther, clearly setting foith that virtue shall not be abandoned un der any cirenmstanees, for dissoluteness. Others thonght it a great infliction on soci ety that people should be allowed to have their bid trovbies brouzht before the public for settlement, and havs the property hold ers taxed to par for the business. Others thought that it is right that the peblie gen-. erally t.-lce hold or such cases, and have them settled nnd.-r the most severe exam ination, and rmss-examination, for the rea son, that in that close public examination lies the safetv of a'l ; for if it were other wise. If close examination were not allowed to those acensed of bad work, the innocent would fall victims to conspiracy, and so the people talked. The week passed around; Saturday came, and the trial was not ended. On Sunday the jnrors attended religions sen ice in the rresbytenan church ; on Sun day evening they attended service in the Lutheran church, and on Monday morning at 9 o'clock the trial was resumed, and con tinued all through Monday and Monday night. At ball-past 11 P.M., the Judge charged the jury, and at hail-past 2 o'chick on Tuesday morning, the ju-t returned with a verdict of not guilty. COMMUNICATION. EJl'or Sentinel and Repnblican : Sir, Now that the election is past, ani we can take a calm view of some of the means used to s urc vot es, we are astonished. A case in point is the late Republican candi date for Comity Treasurer. Some of the opih.sition report that he was not running, and that the leading Uepublicana would not support him, on account ot a tailing he has which renders him incompetent to n.i tue office. Now, we claim to know Jacob Lem on. We have known him lor thirty years, and we know be bas been a heavy tax-payer for that length of time, and his never been even a tax-collector. W e know, too, that in 1802, after our sid defeat at Bull Run, he left a happy, loving family and a good, comfortable home, and volunteered as a prints for the term of three years in the tervice of bis country, ben he was not subject to draft. We know him to be very strict iu keeping his word, considering it at ail times as good as his bond. He never uses vulgar or profane language, aud is a kind and obliging neighbor. We also know something of his religious views; he con stantly trios to keep the commandments, takes the New Testament for his preacher, and very seldom attends church. Now about this failing, spoken of. . The party circulating this precious dizcovery was very careful to impress upon the minds ol his hearers that Lemon was nothing more than a common drunkard. Lemon told lue that he has used liquor occasionally tor forty years, sometimes none for a length of lime, and sometimes too much, but ai-vays intending l quit tli "e or strong drink "t some time. On the 81st or August, 1877, which was Ins birthday, he ronned a resolu tion to leave ofl' tbe use ot all kinds of stimulating drinks lor the remainder of life, and, I am gUd to say, he has kept that res olution, and I hope he m iy continue to keep it. l'oo may have an idea as to hat kind or a Uiiud an undertaking of that kind re quires. Does a msn or that kiud deserve kind words or praise? or should lie be looked upon v i.h scorn snd contempt f Now, -.Villiam. what would you thiuk of, or call a roan that would travel over the country misrepresenting and telling storiea about his neighbor, that had not the least .en.blance ol unth ? Would it be neigh borly Would it be a christian act f Read, He that backbitelh wiih his tongue, or doetb evil to bis neighbor, or takeih up a reproach against his neighbor, shall not abide In thy tabernacle, nor uu in thy , - , . holy hiU A BBPrBUCAN- SBOR t LOCALS.

Kearney and Miss Lizzie Loudon, sec retaries-' TpA large number of railroad employees met In tbe Superintendent's otuce at ilor risburg, last Saturday evening for the pur pose of presenting a gold watch to James McCrea, Esq., former Superintendent or Middle Division. Employees from differ ent points along the Middle Division were present. A number or railroad employees from this place were present. The Monnt Uotott 7tm(s says that on Thursday a week, a colored man, who re sides at. Jack's Spring, near that place, re turned home from hunting, and requested his wife to remove a coat from the gun, which he had wrapped around it to keep it dry. In doirg so the hammer was acci dentally struck agiinst the door, which caused the discharge or the gun, the con tents entering tbe woman's leg near the knee, causing a fearful wotinJ. At last accounts thewas lying in a critical eon I - lion. Wm. H.

Mr. McCollin is totally blind. In addition to the regular programme for Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, he will give bis exceedingly fine musical and literary entertainments. The operations of an organisation called the Sunbury and North Branch Railroad Company, have interested the people of this county to a considerable degree. Why its promises have not been made good, is not tha object to inquire here, but its efforts to collect money from parties in Snyder coun ty have been resisted in the courts. In tbe lower court the company, so called, was sustained in its action. In the Supreme Court the judgimnt of the lower Cotlrt was reversed. For further particulars, as to the action in the lower court and the reversal in tbe upper Court, read the case as pub lished in other columns of this issue of tbe Sentinel and Republican. Tbe Lcwistown Gazette says very f pitr in tbe United States ought occasionally to keep the fact before its readers that burnt corn is a curtain and speedy cure for hog cholera. Tbe best way is to make a pile of corn on the cobs, effectually scorch it and then give tbe affected bogs free accessto it. Tnis remedy was discovered by accident by E. E. Locke, Ewj., at the time his dis tillery was burned in this county, together wilh a large lot of stored corn which was so much injured as to be unfit for ose, was hauled out aod.greedily eaten by the hogs, several or which were drinrl daily. After the second day not a single hog was lost, and the disease entirely disappeared. The remedy has been tried since In a number of cases and has never failed.

The murmuring waves wash the dreary shore; Rebounding, they roll, and solemnly They call back one that will come no more Long ago, when the world to me was bright; And summer smiled on the fragrant hills. We strayed 'nesth the full moon's jayons light. That flirted and danced with the rattling rills. We wandered along by the rocky beach, And planned for the years wn dreamed in store Believing that fate would be kind to each, And happily dwell where the breakers roar, We kissed "good-bye," and be pledged to return When fortune wonld load him heavily down ; And I wait by the sea, depressed and for lorn, While the bloom of my cheek haa forever flown. Sometimes the waves sound so strangely sad I think bis loved spirit is speaking to me ; And I'll walk by the beach till I know he is dead, And our souls are united beyond tbe wide sea. J. Z. G.

Ten women, with infants in their arms, attended the recent silting of the Cambria court, and th'.s one circumstance impresses that everlasting joker, McPikc, wiih new court-house ideas. The squalling of the babes in concert sadly disturbed the slum burs of justice. The above is from the Altoona Tritmne, to which may be said that if the Tribune people and McPike had attended conrt here in Milllintown, last week, they might have seen better than that, tor there was one wo man present who had two babies in her arms. " It is said that in order to keep their butter over the period of low prices and hot weather, California dairymen simply seal up their products in tin cans, sinking them to tbe bottom or cold streams. Butter made in April Comes out in October in good order, and continues to keep fresh in the cool weather or winter. Forty -pound cans are commonly used. Some time since a notice appeared in the Germanown Telegraph of the finding or a po'trld or butter at the bot tom or a well which must have been there many years, but which vii as sweet and good as if fresh from the bin or the most scrupulous Quaker dairy-maid." When every stocking was stuffed with dolls and balls and rings, Whistles snd tops and dogs (of all conceiv able things) Old Kriss Kringle looked round, and saw on the elm tree bough, High-bung, an oriole's nest, lonely and empty now. "Quite like a storking," he Ianghed, "pin ned up there on the tree ! I didn't suppose the birds expected a pres. ent from me !" Then old Kriss Kringle, who loves a joke as well as thu best, Dropped a handful of flakes in the oriole's empty nest T. B. jtldrick, in the Children'! Jlmanac. IiiST evening shortly before eight o'clock Patrick Malady, track watch man between the lower yaril and Blair Furnace, noticed something strange beside the track as he was moving along attending to hia du ties. Reaching it he discovered that it was a new-born babe, yet living, but which died in a few minutes af ter being discovered. The body was brought to the yard and the coroner notilied An investigation was insti tuted, which develoed the fact that a young woman who was apparently enciente got on the train at Newport, Perry couuty, who seemed to be iu great suffering. A change was ob served in her appearance on reaching this city, where she alighted and re mained until the Fast Line came along. She liad a ticket for Decatur, IiL Under these circumstances it was considered best to order her de tention in Pittsburg. A message was 6ent by telegraph, and when the train arrived in Pittsburg she was arrested. She there confessed that sho had given birth to the child while she was seated in the water closet cf the car and said she was named Cath arine Holixnan, and was iron! Liver pool, Perry county.

IL Cramer, arrived in this city on Day Express, sue Hav ing been detained at the Union De pot until his arrival. She acknowl edges substantially to the facts given above, declaring that the child was not purposely thrown out of the car. She is a stout, pleasant looting roun trr lass, apoarentlv about eighteen or twenty years of age, and stands her trouble weu, lasing into consid eration the attendant disgrace. The body of the child was taken in charge by undertaker J i;ton ana properiy attended t3. About half pest one o'clock this afternoon Miss Hoffman was removed to a hotel on Tenth avenue below Twelfth street, where she was given the care and attention necessary. The inquest was fixed for half-past two this afternoon, but it is not anticipated that any additional testimony will be elicited. The only thing to be determined by the jury will substantially be the disposition to be made of the young woman who. is now charged with infanticide. Altoona .Vttror, Dec. 4. LUMBER.
