of the Doc Wilson case- was reached to-day. Three
days were consumed in the trial, with a fine array
of counsel on both sides. The case excited great in

the court room and rendered a verdict of guilty and

the prisoner ought to lx- hung, as the murder was
cold blooded. The vctdict meets with gcucml ap
proval.

Athens, December 10.???Mr Josiah A. Browning,
who has been sheriff of Clarke county for more
than twenty years, died tilts morning. He lingered
some weeks after a stroke of juiralysis. Invitations
are now out to one of the nobbiest recejitions that
has taken place iu Athens for sometime. It is to
the Corcoran art gallery. The court notified the
bailiff that they might be taken there if measures
were provided to prevent them coming in contact
with the general puolic. The bailiff who had
charge of the Surratt jury said to-day that the latter
were ucver taken to any place but to ehureh
on Sunday, and that so far as he
knows there fs no precedent for any
different course. That trial lasted for eight weeks.
In connection with tlieSurratt trial Bailiff Hughes
recalls a singular incident. The indictment was
lost and the trial proceeded ujion a eopy printed in
the newsjiapers. The printed eojiy was identified
under oath as a correct one by the employes of the
journal in which it was published. It is said the
Surratt indictment was never found. Jt is not
known whetherit was stolen or simply lost some
where nbout the court room, hut it nas never turn
ed up since.
It is said that the sum of ??4.000 hasbeen expended
business. He informed his wife that he would be
home in a day or two. and when he did not apjiear
at the expiration of that time she became alarmed,
and sent friends to the city to find out what had
become of him. They found that Mr. Sick
man had stopped at the National hotel, ou
Water street, and had remained there for two
days. On the afternoon oi the second day,
about 2 o???clock, he went to the clerk???s desk
paid his bill and informed the clerk that be in
tended to take the 4 o'clock boat for home, left a
basket in his charge and went out. He was met by
an ocquanlanee on -Smithfluid street a few minutes
later, aud no further trace of him could he discov
increased to $6,000 before the close.
In the Guiteuu case G. D. Barnard was put on
the stand to prove the divorce of Anna Guitcau
from the prisoner.
General Reynolds was then called aud concluded
his testimony.
Mrs. Dumnire, Gultcau???s divorced wife, took the
stand. But few questions were asked tier by the
prosecution, and in reply to one of them she said
she had never noticed' any signs of insanity while
she lived with him.
Guitcau, with a sigh of relief, thanked Mr. Cork-
hill for the sake of her children, aud said it was
the only decent thing he had done on the trial, but

to the belief that he had been murdered.
When, however, altout a decade had passed

Mrs. scoville suddenly rose iu her place and said

inscription:

That must be counted ere I see thy face;
How shall I chann the interval that lowers
Between this time and the sweet time of grace.
But now for the sequel. A few days ago Mr.
Sickman returned to California, and since that time
the entire community ha?? been busy discussing the
circumstances of bis sudden departure thirteen
years ago. But little regarding Mr. S.???s movements
during his absence has been disclosed to the inter

and mast of the time in Germany. A few days ago,
as he came through this city, he drew 52,000, which
he had deposited nere on the day of his disappear

claimed: "Yon are examining the witness for the
other side, ain???t you, Scoville? I never saw any
thing so stupid as your manner of examining, this
morning. I think your lecture last night must
have been too much for you.???
Mrs. Scoville made her question and reached
over to hand it to her husband, when Guiteau

San Francisco. December 12.???A terrible double
murder was perpetrated last night in Visitation

was given over to market gardens. An Italian
gardener named Gravetta fatally stabbed his sister
and her lover, and dangerously wounded his moth

Pending the colloquy between Guiteau and his
sister, the witness was permitted to depart, much to
the dlsapjmintment, apparently of Mrs. Scoville.
Guiteau announced that he had a little speech to

writing what she has oiten said to intimate friends.
It is al??o learned, without question, as to the rclia

during when llie president asked where Dr. Baxter
was. Dr. Boynton explained to him the difficulty
between Bliss and Baxter, saying that the former
had stated that the president had requested him to

"That is not true ??? Other facts are also coming out.
The president thought during all his illness that
Dr. Hayes Agnew, of i???hibuiuli.nin, was the leading
physician in the case, and died thinking so. He
got the impression from the fact, perhaps, that Dr.
Agnew performed all the surgical operations.

Arresting Disease.
What we would particularly impress upon
invalids and their friends, is the value of com
jiound oxygen in arresting disease in its early
stages and before chronic conditions have
been cstablislied. It must be evident to the
common sense of every one, that an agent
which acts so potently in breaking the force
of diseases which have been at. work upon the
system and have been exhausting it for years,
can scarcely fail to arrest like diseasbs in their
beginning, and when the vitality of the body-
lias not been wasted. If, therefore, you have
(he early symptoms of consumption, catarrh,
bronchitis, neuralgia, or the indications of
any other disease which may keep its hold
upon you until it becomes chronic, do not
neglect the warming indications. Meet the
enemy upon the very threshold, and while
your vitality is yet unimpaired. If your regu
lar physician fails to reach the ease, then we
ofler you, in compound oxygen, an almost
certain means of restoration???the way hack to
health???the agent that may save you from a
life of invalidism, or from premature death.

The Sun of 1868 was a newspajier of a new kind.
It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude of
the sujicrfiuous words and phrases of ancient jour
nalism. It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct,
unconventional way all the news of the world,
omitting no event of human interest, and commen
ting upon affairs with the fearlessness of absolute
independence. The success??! the experiment was
the success of The Sun, It effected a perfect change
in the style of American newspapers. Every im-
j>orian.t journul already existing in the dozen years
has been moddled after The Sun. Every imiiortant
journal already existing lias lieen modified and bet
tered by the force of The Sun???s example.
TiieSun of 1882, will be the same outspoken,
truth-telling, and interesting newspajier.
By a liberal use of tho means which an abundant
prosperty affords, we shall make it better than ever
before.
We shall printall the news, putting it into reada
ble shajie, and measuring its importance, not by tho
traditional yardstick, but by its real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House Square is not
the first consideration with The Sun. Whenever
anything happens worth reporting, we get the par
ticulars, whether it hapjiens in Brooklyn or
Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions, and are
accustomed to express them in language that can be
understood. We say^what we think about men and
events. That habit is the only secret of The Sun???s
political course.
TnE Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the best
matter of the seven daily issues. An Agricultural
Department of unequalled merit, full market re
ports. and a liberal projiortlon of literary, scientific
and domestic intelligence complete The Weekly
Sun, and make it the best newspajier for the farm
