Hrras 7hr <4vrUY LETTER.-'NIr Spencer,

addressed to Fall River on board the
boat on that particular day, the drec-
ton of which should remind him of the
name of Cornell, and yet that letter
should not be the same one, is almost mi
racuous. But as il is stated that Mr..
Spencer has given different version o,
the affair to the clerk Of the court, 10
what he Sc, forth in his affidavit, this with
the absence of corroboraiing testimony
that there was similar letter placed on

@AwAY AND BE AT REST

"AWAY AND BE AT REST"
may not-cannot hear thee sing
That song Of Erin's Isle;
For it is full of hope and love,
As young brides sunny smile.
and know'st thou not that my sweet hope
And my young love are dead,
That she who sung that song TO me
Sleeps in hen narrow bed
Her bed that's made Ear o'er the sea,
In Indian grove of shade,
Where breatbes the scented almond flowers
And trees that never .adc.
She should not there have slept her sleep,
But in her native shore,
In her dear Erin's bosom green,
In lonely Avon nmore.
may not-cannot hear thee sing
These wildly plaintive lays;
They speak of Eogland's distant hills,
And boyhood's vanished days;
They breathe the breath Of early friends;
They bring young smiling faces;
Some are dead, and all are changed,
And others GIL their places.
Then do not sing me Irish songs,
Nor warble scottish lays;
For these bu, speak of buried love,
Those OF youths vanished days.
But, ifthat thou would sootho my heart,
Then let thy music flow,
To those inspired and sasred words.
In solemn measure slow
The words Gods royal minstrel pour'd
When with deep woe oppress'd:
"Oh that | had doves wings to fec
Away, and be at rest"

about two, and continue until day light.
Sometimes It is knocking, now in the
ceiling over head, now the wall, and now
directly under the feet, sometimes il is
low moaning, which the reverend gentle
man says reminds hiI very much Of the
moans of soldier on being whipped;

morning in the trial ofAuriella Chase,
negro woman, charged with the
crime of wilfully killing Mrs. Elizabeth
A. Durkee,f wife Of DR.. Robert A.

to her poison in the form of Arsenic
The woman was employed as cook in
the Doctors family, and the poison
was given in bowl of soup which the
cook had prepared for her mistress, on
the goth of May last. Immediately af.
ter taking portion of the soup, Mrs.
ID. became sick, and declared that she
had been poisoned. She fingered for
four or five days, and then expired.
The woman was subsequently arrested,
