THE FtmALE UxIoy BtNEyoIENT

The FEMALE UNION BENEVOLENT
SOCIETY held an adjourned meeting
last Tuesday evening III the Baptist
Church, pursuant to public notice. A
very numerous and respectable audIepce
attended on Ibis very Interesting occasion,
who appeared TO be highly graili1d with
the report and addresses delivered at the
meeting. The introductory prayer byI
the pastor of the church was followed hy /
the reading of brief bnt lucid and salts
factory report. Tie meeting Was then
severaly addressed by DR., Laurie, DR.. II.
p. Jones, the Rev. c. G. Goodman, and
Gen. Walter Jones, who, in very feeling,
appropriate, and eloquent terms, expata-
ted Oh the utility and practical benevo-
len2c Of the institution, and on the many
great benefits which had already resulted
from ito the industrious and INDECENT
poor Of orr city, while they had been af-
Aicted by sickness or some other dire ca
lamity.
II was lrnly remarked by one of the
gentlemen who addressed the meeting,
that experience and observation had
shown that, in numerous Instances, pov-
erty, misfortune, and virtue were unhap-
lily allied and that, 10 such cases us those
which were undoubtedly deserving ofthe
warmcst sympathy of every good chris
tan and sincere philanthropist, had the
female managers of this excellent charity,
in the exercise Of sound discretion, di-
rected theirespecial attention, by granting
the poor sufferers speedy and seasouab!e
relief.
All the speakers who advocated the
claims of the Female Union Benevolent
Society dwet with much emphasis and
effect upon the peculiar fitness of the fe-
male character and disposition for work
of charity like that for which they were
now associated. And the attentive, re-
spectacle and numerous audience, who lis
tened to the eloquent addresses Of thespea
kers couldnot we apprehend, help feeling
the truth OF the sentiments thus happily
expressed.
At the close of the meeting collection
was made for the benefit IF the Society,
which, we hope, may have proved a sub
stantial increase to its funds. Nat. Int.

CRIMINAL COURT. Nov. IL, $40.

n = <
The Hon. Judge Dunlop took his seat
upon the bench this morning, at ten o.
clock, and the court being opened with
the usual formaIitles, the following pris-
|oner was afterwards put upon her trial:
Julia, alias Ludy Jasper, free negress,
was indicted and tried for setting fire to
and burning stable, the property Of AL
bert Paris, on the I'd of October, 1910.
This was an important and interesting
case. 1t will be recollectcd that when
Mr.. Paris stable and coach-house were
burnt in the First Ward Of this city, sew
eral valuable horses persisted in the con-
fagration.
The evidence for the prosecution went
to show that the prisoner had used threats
towards Mr.. Paris, in whose family she
had lived, and with whom she had quar-
relied and that she had also confessed
to colored witness Zone Nancy Cartcr)
that she had set fire to the stable Of Mr..
Paris. On the other hand, three colored
witnesses swore positively that on the
night the fire, the prisoner slept in the
house of one Nancy Saunders, in Sixth
street, and was there during the time of
the fire.
The prisoner was defended by Messrs.
Brent q Brent She appeared to be de-
ficicnt in point of intellect, and the jury,
after retiring short time, returned YER
dit Of not guilty.

A great number of witnesses have borne tes-
timony to-day, both for the prosecution and
the prisoner. 1t was expected that the testi-
mony on both sides would have closed this
evening; but about the time of the adjourn
ment, the prisoners counsel said that it was
important to the defence of his client that he
should introduce some other witnesses to-
when the trial will be resumed.
