Patriot.] The venire being impaneled, and the jury solemnly charged by the clerk, the Commonwealth’s attorney called in support of the indictment the witness Buck Bryant, who, being solemnly sworn the truth to tell, tes tified as follows: Questioned by the Commonwealth's attjrney: Tell all you know* about the cutting of the prosecutor by Cassaday, tin; prisoner at the bar. Answer: “Well, gentlemen, it was election day—’twas a dark, cloudy, wet - sort of a drizzly day, and says I to my old woman, I believe I’ll go down to Ringgold and ’posit my vote; and says my old woman to me, Buck, as it is a sort of dark, cloudy, wet sort of a drizzly sort of a day, says she, hadn’t you better take your umbrella? Says I to the old woman, I sped I had better take ins ttmbril, and when I got down thar, Mr. Cole corned, and says he, Uncle Buck, have you seed anything of old neighbor Harris? Says I to Mr. Cole, for why ? Says he, lie’s got my umbril. [The witness was here in terrupted hv the Court, and>tohl to confine himself to the actual fray be* tween the prisoner and Gble, the prosecutor], in answer to which, the witness remarked in a tone of indig nant remonstrance: “Well, not?, Mr. Judge, you hold on, for I am sworn to tell the truth,, and I’m agwitte lo tell it my own way, so ’taint worth while for you to say nothing more about it.” Whereupon the Court and Commonwealth’s at torney, being anxious to get rid of the witness on any terios, told him to go on and tell the tale in his own way. “ Well, as I wan going to say, ’twas on ’lection day, Buchanan and Filimo’ was runnitt’ for the Legisla ture and says my old woman to me, says she, Buck, as it’s a sort of a dark, cloudy, rainy, damp, drizzly- sort of a day, hadn’t you better take your umbril? says she. Says I to my old wotnai:, says I, I spect I had better take my umbril; so I took my umbril and advanced on towards Ringgold tUl I ’rived thar. Well, the first thing I did when I got thar was to take a drink of Buchanan whisky, which was monstrous good, and says I to myself, says I, old hoss, you feel better, don’t you ?. And while I was advancing around; Mr. Cole, he come to nte, and saysi he. Uncle Buck, says he, have you seen anything of our neighbor, Harris ? Says I, for why ? Says he, the old cock’s got my umbril. After awhile, I ’posited my vote, and then Mr. Cole and me advanced on toward home, and Mr. Cole was tighter than I ever seed him. And so we advanced along till we got to whar the road and path forked, and Mr. Cole and me tuck the path, as any other gentlemen would, and after advancing awhile, we ’riv$d to old- neighbor Harris, a, satin’ on a log with the umbril under his arm, and ’bout that time Elijah Cassaday - (the prisoner) corned up, and we advanced till we 'rived at Elijah’s house. Elijah is my neffew, and likewise, my spn-ht-law; he married my darter Jan*, which is next to my dear rially. After we laid advanced to Elijah's house, wc 6tood in the yard awhile a jawin’, and presently two somebodys rid up on a In.ss, which was Johnson, and Whitfield Cassailay behind.

Well, after a jawin . awhile-with ’em, my little neffew says - he to me, Uncle Buck, let’s ; go home. Savsl, good, pop; so we pegged.on together, and I heard somebody a callin’ me, hut I never tentioned ’em, nor advanced back; well, got home and was eatin’ my supper, and Elijah, whiih is my son-in-laW, and married - my darter Sally, arrived; and says ‘e to me, Uncle Buck, says he, I’Ve- killed a man.

At a recent meeting of the Phila • deiphia County Medical Society, Rfof. Win. Goodell, of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, spoke on. infant lu gicno. He said that much sickness it eattsed among infants in hot -wea ther by too much clothing. In re gard to food, he said the infant, as ■ long as it thrives on it, should have no other food than the mother's-milk until it is a year old. If the mother, has not milk enough, Ixe thought' that in cities cow’s milk is-the best substitute, and, ns most of the milk sold in cities is apt to be diluted be fore sold, he would not mix any more water with it. It the milksis abso« lutely known to be pure, then it should be diluted one-fifth'and a little sugar added to it, when .the nearest approach to the mother’s milk ob tainable is had. ITe also disap proved of boiling the milk for infants, but thought it ought), to be given cold. To prevent the ill effects of the churning of the milk by hauling it in half filled cans over the stones of the streets, he suggested that pa-, rents should have cans to hold ; just the quantity nCeddd and - have them. filled and the tops screwed on at the • depots. He strongly, favored the use of condensed .milk in cities as,the bast possible food for infants, that have to be reared pu the bottle. He also condemned. the use of nursing bottles with flexible tubes, op account, of the temptation today them,.beside the child and allow it.to suck-un.til it. is overfed. An ordinary bottle, with a gum nippW, is.tar.belter, because it . is impossible for,the childeto. nurse itself and it is not so apt to get in digestion by overfeeding. No child under two years old jhpuld.be ah lowed to sit at the table with adults, and eat tire same food. Starch foods, are very harmful to infinite. Dr. Atkinson indorsed.
