In the twelvcn,onth just vanished
Strange things have occurred,
And of those the most striking
Well venture word;
For New Years Address
In our critical view,
Is no more and no less
Than a gen'ral review.
Ill.
Our country, thank heav'n!
Is in happy condition,
In spite of all panics
And paper emission;
All our ships are in use,
All our factories going,
And the farmers nll rich
With the products of sowing.
Nv.
There will soon be nm end
To the Florida war,
Which has cost so much cash
And Congressional jaw:
We shall drink Jesup's health
In cold water bumper,
When he catches Sam Jones,
Alligator and Jumper.

wosld puff, Notwithstanding. "a laugh
Mr.. Western, for the prosecution, repudiated the
attempt to laugh this case out OF court by ausiOas
the pafing system He was willing to hear any thing,
but he could not consent to 20 out Of the record by
aludlng to elrcunstanees disconnected with the
charge and sven if he had been used ar puffer,
there was such thing, he had heard say, as honesty
even among thieves, and the defendant had right
to appropriate the goods to himself even if he had
been employ ed as paher.
John Crow, partner of the preceding witness, testi-
ned that the defendant had confessed to him of hav
ing taken several articles which he intended to pay
for and that he had suspected him of dishonesty on
previous occasions.
Officer A. NJ c. Smith correborated the testimony
of DIR. Garvia.
For the defence t was contended that the defend
ant had CONS into possession of the goods by putting
In the auction store of the cOnplainants and that
they We're ID the habit Of having things knocked
down TO buffers, or Peter Funks as they are called
and carried otFby them, in order 10 deceive real Dur-
chasers And iurt hermoFe, that the bosoms and col
lars Belonged to the defendants brother and had
verbsen IN the store OF the complainants at all.
Mrs. Lydia Herrck, deposed that the bosoms all
belonged to her husband, the brother f the deien-
dant, who brought them from Boston, that one of
the collars also belonged to her husband, and that
the rest of the collars she had been in the habit of
washing and mendlng for . long time for the dcfen
dant. There was no proof whatever of the putting
spoken of.
Mr.. A. e. Herrick brother of the defendant, testi-
fed that he was present at the conversation between
Crow and his BROTHER, and that the statement made
by Crow relative to The confession was all false
Mr. Crows statement was however, fully substan-
lated by the testimony OF other witnesses.
An attempt was made TO lmpeaeh the character of
the two compliments for truth and veraeity, which
entrel yfailed. Many witnesses appearing, among
whom were Aid. Pardy, Aid. Brady, and several
other respectable citizens, who gave them excel
lent character
The case was ably summed up by counsel. The
facts contained in the charge however, were not suf
fcienily proved to Justify conviction, and the jury
faction and acquitted the prisoner.
