The jury iu the Banka murder trial at Vincennes, after being out nineteen hours, decided on a verdict of murder in the second degree, Sunday, and fixed the punishment of the accused at two years in the penitentiary. The case had been on trial in the Circuit Court for five days and was bitterly contested, the defendant beiug represented by the best legal talent in the State. This waa the second trial, the jury in the first rase falling to agree. The indictment chargedJGeorge Banks with the killing of John Hammond at Monroe City in December last. Johnny, as he was familiarly known, was raised in Petersburg, and had resided in Monroe City about two months, wheu he received his death won ud. On Thursday, December 31st, Hammond, in an intoxicated condition, was ejected from Bank’s saloon. During the struggle that ensued, Banks raised his foot against Hammond’s ^hodmen and gave him a push out of the door, loosening Hammond's hold and allowing him to fall on the ground. Hammond staggered to the house of a relative, where lie died in a day or two. The State represented that death was caused from injuries received from Banks. Tire attorneys for tiie defense have moved for a new trial. A Prosperous Tillage. A correspondent of the Boonville Standard gives a Pike county village this fine send-off: “Stendal is a beautiful village of 200 or more inhabitants, and is one of the most enterprising and beautiftrl little towns we have struck in Southern Indiana. There is no person living in the place but what has a visable occupation or trade. There is no partial uon-pro-fessionai loafers; everybody is industrious aud energetic. The German element predominate. All citizens arc clever and courteous, and all faror improvements to their town and offer all inducements in that direction. The town is surronnded by a good class of farmers and farms, which is amply extensive enough to support a much larger town. We have two good church houses, and our school facilties are hard to excel in both English and German; we now have a normal in progress with several students from neighboring townsin attendance. The outlook for our town is most flattering.” _

A Great Nuisance. The conduct of tho boys in the gallery, at the commencement exercises Monday night, was outrageous. Their continual racket, stamping of feet, talking, bowling and whistling was an insult to the large and intelligent audience present. No officer was present to quiet them, and they did not heed the reprimands of the audience or the teachers. The Marshal, as a conservator of the peace, owes it to the people to prevent the practice of such flagrant outrages upon law and order. If he is not present to supress them, let the town authorities or the proprietor of the hall And some man that will do it. This is the earnest request of every one who was present, Monday night. He Assessors. It is unfortunate that more time is not allowed for the assessor’s work, but the law is at a fruit and there is no hope for it until tho legislature meets again, when aehange ought to he made, lie assessor and his assistants have a vast amount of hard and responsible work to do in a very short time, and th^public ought to realize and bear in mind that it is every tax-payer's interest to have a thorough appraisement and assessment of property, in order that the bnrden of taxation may be equally distributed. Schedules ought to be filM and returned promptly and fair filiations ought to be given in so jfiat trouble may be avoided.

"We’ve got the money and will starve them (the Democrats) to It, Is the language of one of the Augusta Republicans. It la rumored that the Constable of this place has, or Is going to, resign In order to become a candidate fora higher office. We think It a matter well considered, as his party has run short of material, Judging from tlte candidates already In the field. In reply to the “politically afflicted jrttp” of Fantod (?) who wrote for the Press last week, we would say that the learned philosopher reminds us of the “Irishman’s bull” which snorting, hawed himself up on a railroad track to fight a coming locomotive. The Irishman stood and watched the proceedings for a moment and then exclaimed: “faith and bejaeee I glory In your spunk bat— your judgement.” Simply because the Democrats of Lockhart township gave the Republicans a few of the little offices they did not want last spring they think they are going to carry the county this tall. We say to them what the Irishman said to the bull. It would take more than two gallons ofwhtaky and all of thatr attention to keep the Republicans together this time. But then that Is right, they do their rejoicing before harvest. We do ours afterward. JVxbo.
