I Seventh Edition,
j * *^HE first part of this work is devoted to criminal
i practice, and tlie sccond part to the discussion of
the several crimes, the indictment for each otfence, and
the reijuisite evidence. It will be ft>und to embrace the
entire field of Criminal Law; every proceetfing, from ihi-
arrest of the oft'ender to his final i>unishmeut, being
minutely detailed, with forms and directions for every
supposable case.
“Archbold has been a standard authority for the last
half century. Fourteen successive English and half as
mt.ny American editions show how it has been ai)p>e-
ciated.
“A very considerable period of time and a great deal
of labor have been expended upon this edition. Most
of the notes have been entirely re-written; and all of
them have been rc-modeled and re-arranged. \ tho
rough analysis of each subject has been made, which,
with a very full index to each volume, it is thought
will furnish all needful facilities for reference. The
matter has been a good deal condensed, by omitting
whatever seemed theoretical rather than practical, by
dispensing with such of the English statutes as have no
bearing upon .-American law or practice. The notes in
their present form contain, however, a large amount of
new matter, and several subjects are iutroduced which
were not treated in the former edition. The authori
ties have been carefully re-examined, and all of the re
ported, and numerous manuscript cases in each of the
several states, down to the date of publication, added.
The criminal statutes of sixteen of the states have been
digested and distributed under the appropriate heads,
together with such English statutes, the construction of
which from their similarity to our own, seemed likely
to aid the American practitioner. A coiici.ne outline of
all the more important cases cited by Mr. .Archbold has
also been given; thus presenting, iu a convenient and
accessible form, all of the leading English criminal
cases.”

“A few days since a barn near Tarry town was
struck and instantly set on fire and consumed, al-
thouj'h it had two rods. Shortly before this oc
currence we examined a house in Plainfield, (N.
J.) with an insulated rod upon it, in complete
order, very substantially put up, but as it proved
utterly useless to protect the building from a light
discharge of electricity which fell upon it and
then left it, breaking one of the insulators and pass
ing through the house. In this latter case the build
ing was surrounded by several others of about the
same height, without rods upon them, and it is to
be assumed, therefore, that the selection of this
particular building by the discharge had some
thing to do with the presence of the lightning-rod ^
thereupon. In other words, if the rod had not
been there the building would not have been
struck, and its inmates might have escaped all
harm. Having observed many like cases, we feel
supported in saying, when we see a house with
similarly constructed and applied rods, that it is
more eudangered than protected thereby.
“The time is perhaps coming when the people
will learn by experience, if in no other way, that
the exact adaptation of the rod to the nature and
degrees of the exposure of the building, as regards
lightning, is absolutely epsential to its efficacy.
The services of an ‘expert mechanic’ may be very
properly and usefully employed in the erection of
tlie rods, but the deci.'^ion as to their mode of con
struction and location upon the building demands,
in the highest degree, the exercise of the sound
est scientific judgment and experience. A mistake
in this particular incteases the danger, as the
frequent failures of lightning-rods fully demon
strate.
“Lightning-rods should be examined every
season, so as to detect and remedy any defects
which time may have rendered apparent. They
should be kept free from paint; and if any alter
cation or addition to the building is made they
should be examined by a competent person, to
decide whether they require re-adjustment to
conform to the altered condition of the building.
If the lightning*rod is correctly applied in the
first place, and kept in order, it may be implicitly
relied upon as a complete safeguard from light
ning.”
The First Lesson in Gamhfiiig.—Wherever
there are great collections of people, there are
always bad and foolish people among them. It
was so at Bridgeport, where the State fair was
held recently. Outside the grounds, behind or
within tents or booths, were many who gambled
and led others to do so. Now it Is a very simple
thing to gamble; «o simple, and often it appears so
fair, that many a boy is led to take the first step
before he knows it.
There was behind one of the oyster-stands a
circle of men and boys; on the ground sat a poor,
degraded, dissipated man, poorly clothed and
looking sick and weak. He held in his hand
several iron rings, and before him was a board
with large nails driven in it which stood upright.
A clear foccd, bright-eyed, handsome little fellow
stepped up to him. He was just such a boy as is
prompt at day-school, and always has his lesson
at Sabbath School. He showed this in his face
as he stepped up to a man and said:
“What’s that for?”
“Give me a cent and you may pitch on.e of
these rings, and if it catches over a nail, I’ll give
you .tix cents.”
That seemed fair enough; so the boy handede
him a cent and took the ring. He .stepped back
to a stake tossed the ring and it caught on one ot
the nails.
“Will you take .six rings to pitch again or oil
cents^”
“Six cents,” was the answer; and two three-ccnt
pieces were put into his baud, and he stepped oflf
well sati.«fied with what he had done, and probably
not having an idea that he had done wrong.
A gentleman standing near had watched him,
and now before he had time to look about and re
join his cumpanions laid his hand on his shoulder.
“My lad, that is your first lesson in gambling.”
“Gambling, sir?”
“Y"ou staked your penny and won six, did you
not?’'
“Yes, I did.
“You did not earn them, and they were not
given you; you won them. Just yumhlers icin
mone^. You have taken the first step in the path;
that man has gonfc through it, and you can see
the end. Now I advise you to go and give him
w-T- ^ nr J ' cents back, and ask him for your penny, and

Discovery of the Remains of American and
■■ British Svldiert of the War of ISli.—Whil«
workmen were making excavations last week n^ar
the old Fort in Toronto, Canada, they discove.ed
the remains ot fifteen bodies of British and Ameri-
I ican soldier!^, who fell in the war of 1812. Seve
ral buttons, bayonets and epaulettes were als»)
found. One button had the initials of the Penn
sylvania Rangers on it: another is marked “U.
S.” and another “8th Briti.sh Grenadiers.” .\
j few American coins were also f»und. From the
position of the bodies, it is evident that they were
buried in a trench near where they fell. General
I’ike and two hundred Americans anl a number
of iiritish were killed near the spot in 1>]3 by
the explosion of a powdermagasiiie.
Iron for Peach Tr/’en.—The scales of iron that
accumulate around the anvil of a blacksmith's
I shop are more valuable than manure fur peach
trees. A shovelful put arouud a healthy pt-ach
1 tree will be very likely to keep it in good coutli-
I tion; and it is said that trees already diseased
: have recovered by the application of these scalee.
