A man named Caldwell was lately convicted in
Worcester county, Mass, Of the offence called
bracery, which consists in I" attempts to influence
the finding OF a jury by money, promises, letters.
threats or persuasions, except only by the strength
oil the evidence, and the arguments of counsel in
open court" 1t was proved that CALDWELL know
ing that complaint was preferred against him,
addressed two of the Grand Jurors who lodged at
the house with him, TO this effect
.'You will have complaint agains, essence
pedlar, before you to-day, and hope you wont find
a bill against him. for he is very clever fellow ;
however you may do as you PLEASE" The cour,
charged the jury, that if they believed the prisoner
made use of these words, with an intention to inhu-
ence the jury, and that they were such words as
were likely to influence jury, without regarding
the question whether they did, or did not, in the
present case influence them, they must return
verdict of guilty. After retiring for few moments
the jury returned a verdict Of guilty and the pri-
soner was fined 815.
This is an offence which we have to believe
has been frequently committed in the county Of Ian,
through ignorance, but some
times we have reason to fear by design. We hope
that hereafter, all Jurors upon whom the attempt
may be made as we'll as any others who may have
any knowledge of such an attempt, will take eff.
cent and proper means TO have offenders punished.

Rotary Saru,-Scarcely week passes but We hear of
some invention in the mechanic arts. Several attempts
have been made to improve the common upright mill
saw, generally without much success. We understand
that Mr. Adam Stewart, of 'ston, has completed the in
venton of rotary saw for which he has obtained grant
from the British Government being British subject and,
ALSO patent from Government. This it is beiev
ed by competent judges who have seen in operation, is
very important invention.
II is called Compond Rotary Sa7v and cuts boards
timber of any thickness width, length, in straight line,
leaving the surface Of the boards timber, uncomnony
smooth. With one.fouth the required to move
common saw n il is said that Mr.. Stewards will cut
three four times lumber than any saw now in nse
1t will through the middle of the largest log with the
facility that takes off ab this obvia,ing very
material defect in rotary saw previously invented by Mr.
Stewar which necessarily thicker near the axis than
at the outer edge periphery of the saw.

We are under the disagreeable necessity
of detailing an incident, which occurred in
our streets on Monday last, for which
parallel can rarely be found in the history
ofany civilized community. Col. White
WAS walking to his residence on PaIaft
street, accompanied By young gentlem q,
stranger of high responsibility, engaged
IN earnest conversation, which prevented
his attention to thr objects about him, with
Il large cloak over his shoulders, tightly
clasped at the collar, his cane hanging 20
his arm under it 10 this defencrlpss, care,
less situation he was passed by Peter Abb,
Jun. then mayor Of the city, a man Of &.
gazette size & athletic strength, armed With
large bludgeon and stl ITO. After he
had passed, without the slightest indication
of his diab0iical intention, he suddenIy
turned and struck the Colonel from behind,
on the back part of his head, staggered
him to some distance and followed him up
with additional blows, which were parity
parted of by the Colone's left arm; be
having at length somewhat re-, erered, and
dlsengaged his right arm from under the
cloak, with his cane gave Alba several we'll
dl. ected blows aud rtpeIled him eight or
ten steps. A lba then drew his siIetto and
raised It IN his left hand 10 complete assaS
sination by plunging. it in the ColoneIS
body !; in this me was disappointed, bys
vigorous blow across his raised arm ana
shoulder, which disabled him from further
exertlon with that weapon. On the aP
pearance of the dagger the young genl'e-
man called for help, when a een''ena"
whose residence WAS near, appeared at ,'t
door the assassin immediately conceaieu
his stiletto and retrcated.
