IMPORTANT TRIAL.

The United States Circuit Court, in and for the
New Jcrscy.dtstrc commenced us sitting IN Trenton
Monday The "a INST. JUICE Baldwin presiding -
Two three causes Of interest decided during
the tenn, winch closed on the 18Th inst. One OF
principal interest the case of Bel. y slave hc
longing TO Nh Calbrelh, citizen Of Maryland ;
the eNeiied great interest and occupied the
tenton Of the court aud jury iof eight days during
which time there were between % and 80 witnesses
examned,-lt appeared IA evidence that the slave
ran AWAY from her master, and came 10 this State in
1884 her master asccrlaned some time afterwards
that she IN the count, oil Salem. uear the town
OF Salem, and had her appreheuded and brought IN
10 Salem, with the intention oi proving hls property
Benz. Gtiscom and Eve others OF the pccable
citizens Of Salem ntereled, and took The slave
from her masters custody.
The action MAS brought for n ueSpass, and the
damages iaid atSI0 ono. Messrs. Southland and
Green counsel for the plaintiff, and frelnghw-
sen aud LETTERS tlr the defendants The counsel on
both sides acquitted themselves with great ability
Mr.. Southland occupied the attention of the Court
and Jury for SIX hours, DUNG which time the court
was crowded with ladies ard gentlemen; after Nh
Sou,hard had closed his remarks, his honor Jud e
Baldwin charged the jury, tie delivery OF which oc-
eupeJ near Two hours. After the charge the Jury
tired. and being alscnt about hour they returned
into Conr with verdict Of guilty against all the de-
PENDANTS and assessed the damages at $1,000
There never has been a cause rlcd in this civ, that
produced more interest, involving the rights OF the
Southern STAKEHOLDER TO his property. You will
had by the verdict, that the Jury, though opposed to
slavery have sustained the constitution OF the l.. :
and the masters right TO his property. The deicn-
dants were principally Quakefs aud Of the utmost te-
spectaby IN the town OF Salem two were Judge
Of the court Of Common Pleas, and one President o
q Salem bank.
Mr.. Frelinghrysen was very eloquent, as also
Mr.. LETTERS, in behalf of their clients. Mr.. Green
young man oithIs city, FAR exceeded the expecta
tons of his friends in his opening before the Jury.
The Counsel for the defendants moved the cout
for a new nia. The court have taken time to dc
eide at SPECIAL term in July.

by the experiments and observations Of
Others, and especially those made by Ag-

Should YOU, however, persist in main

sir, make bold to tell you you were in err

you were in error, because some important
facts had escaped your inqulring eve. 1t

AN ONLY SON.
ssMan's inhumanity to man,

.sMan's inhumanity to man,
Makes countless thousands mourn"
KNEW an only son. boy of rare prom
Use; he grew UP strong, bold and active, foil
of spirit and full of enterprise. Ills pas
rents were opulent and intelligent; their
views of life, with all lis Responsibilities,
were broad and deep; generous IN their at
fections; they mingled extensively IN so
ciety, which was elevated and ennobied by
their influence. They were rich IN their
domestic joys; their son, their darling son,
was source OF the purest delight. There
seemed no cause for their sollcltuGe for
him: no weak points 10 watch over, 70 guard
and support: he possessed sound cOnsil-
tuition: his intellect and his temper were as
fair. free from any defect as were his phys
steal powers; the leading object Of his pa
rents seemed 10 DC TO give to every facul-
~ its most vigorous growth and spread the
character 10 its broadest eXpanse. The
youth passed through his Collegiate course
honorably to himself and his friends; and
being inclined 10 active life, he joined a
commercial! house in ore of our larger cities
Here his prospects were full OF promise; he
was encircled by friends WHO were in the
full career of prosperity; his natural tenn
per was so fine-so pleasing was he in his
general intercourse with the world, that
he not only had no enemies, but all his
associates would have rejoiced IN bis
greatest prosperity He was prosperous;
and apparently forming for himself per-
maaent home. All who had known him
from his youth expected 10 see him stand
ing foremost among our rich and honora-
BILE merchants. when suddenly, without
any apparent cause, his partnership was
dissolved.
The house TO which he belonged con-
tinue6 on in an honorable course OF busI-
ness till it aTnassed solid wealth his part
ners, in no qualification superior TO HIM
self, lived on in luxury, pleasure and all
the charities of life; embosomed IN friends,
and eventually, in retired leisure, TO cult
vate the higher powers of their nature,
while this Young man, the hope OF his pa
rents, went away alone, aprey 70 the rava-
res of alcohol the vine cup had ruined
him. He had strict integrity, he bad da-
pacity for all business, but he fell as for
tress which has long been daily beselged
till il is all undermined, a whole garrison
on the ramparts cannot save 1t: It tails
headIong, and all is buried liz the common
ruin. He went home to his distressed pas
rents, but he had too much feeling left TO
be willing to witness the misery he alone
had caused; he fed from his home, and
sought a solitude of his own, and there
Welded up all bis hopes.

When shrouded, and cotfn'd and under pail
Mans gentleman quite, he's OF no use at al
