A compa- ny of temperance performers made an exhibition in that town, and Mary Ann Wyatt, beautiful yunng ! woman, about eighteen years of age, was a member oflhe company. She won strong hold of the afiec- iOns of Green, and he at once enlisted with the | company in their performances. Not meeting with | much success, they diSbanded at New Lebanon, and l Green returned 10 Berlin. There he informed his friends tha, he intended 10 be married week from next Sunday night at New Lebanon, and invited ] them to attend his wedding. He was however in | such haste that he was married the Sunday night previous.
 The next Friday morning after his marriage, i Green procured box of pills (as he said) for his own use and returned to Mir. Hull's, where he was then boarding, in Berlin. Mrs, Green took six of them at the hand of her husband. Soon after she ! was taken with distress and burning at her stomach On Saturday morning she was better, but not well enough 10 leave her bed.
 About l2 o'clock, Green was in the store O. Dem n;son and Sreeter, and there in conversation inqu red how much arsenic 1t would take to kil per- son. Shortly after this he went to Pulls and pre- pared solution for his wife, remarking that he was going 10 give her some soda. Mrs. Hull came into the room soon after, Green having left the house,) and found Mrs. Green vomiting in great distress, and apparently at the point of death. Dr. Hull was sent for, and found the sufferer under the symptoms usually attending poison by arsenic.
 When the Doctor took his departure he left a strict injunction that no drink should be given the
 
 inc physician, Green prepared tumber of solu- tion which his wife though reluctantly was ndu- ced to take, and soon after the vomiting returned with increased violence. She was now put under the charge of Mrs. Whitford, who remained with her until Sunday morning. During the night she went below leaving the patient in the charge of her husband.
 swWhen she returned, the patient informed her that her husband had given her a powder. She exclaimed that the Doctor had prohibited powders.
 The patient said Henry had given 1t to her. The powders left by the Doctor remained untouched. Her suspicious being aroused Mrs; w. lay .. down and narrowly watched Green. Soon after she saw him offer his wife some crust coffee which he had been preparing. Early in the morning Green left the house, and Mrs w. then examined closely some chicken broth on the table, and dis covered arsenic remaining the spoon, and sub- se3uently substance found on the top oi the soup, which was also found 10 be arsenic. 4 ..' 1
 On Sunday afternoon. learning from her brother that she must die, she expressed desire to see her mother and her husband Calling him to her, she l asked him if she had ever deceived him done I any thing to injnre his feelings. He said mo- She { now informed her physician that every thing she ] had taken since she sick had distressed her. and on Monday morning al 10 o'clock she breathed her last ...... .a.. .. .,H.' 1
 These are the facts they came out at the trial. It is certainly most mysterious case. We cannot see what motive could induce him to thus detber- H ately murder his young and beautiful wife hut a week after marriage. He acknowledged that she had never injured or deceived him. F y. .....i l,
 He has now been tried and convicted of murder in the first degree and is to he hung the 10th of September next -HdRgmar. .r z. '.o... .' SALLY MILLER .... ."r.fr A girl by the name of Sally Miller sailed with her parents from Holland to New Orleans m the year 1Sl7 she then being but four years old.' At ( that period was customary to sell the services of
 immigrants for a term of years in consideration of the payment of their passage money, and it is sup posed that through such arrangement the pa- rents of Sally Miller came to this country. Soon after their arrival they disappeared and no more was heard known of any of the family until Sai'v Miller was recognized about three years since by German lady who crossed the Atlantic with her; the girl knew nothing of her parents, and said she a slaue, and from her early youth had worked in a cotton field. Several German res idcnts interested themselves in her behalf and cer tain marks known 10 her relatives were found on her body. Her reputed master claimed her 10 be a slave of African descent; the case was brought before the courts-the decision in the District Court was against her-an appeal was then taken to the Supreme Court-additonal testimony was obtained, and the girl pronounced free. After the decision, number of her friends, among whom were more than two hundred ladies, assembled 10 commemorate the result. The first toast was in favor of rzee1ock S. LTptom Esq, her counsel.- Mr. Upon responded in speech, from which the lol!oWlng Is eXtracteu' -r :t t. -..t 1
 Ladies! to you appeal, remember in my reading story of sailor who was directed by his captain 10 carry letter to inc lady of his love- The sailor, having performed his errand. stood ga- Zng in silent admiration upon the countenance of the lady, for she was {" beautiful eXceedingly."- We'll, my honest man." she said !" for what do ! you wait there is TO answer expected,'' 'Lady." said the sailor. "I would like 10 know your name" "And why? she replied, "why slould you seek to know my name D Because" said he, 'I would | call upon it in storm, and save my ship from | sinking" The honest tar scarcely over-esimated 1 the power of your sex. He thought it was she, ! and such she before whom he stood, who could 1 'rde in the whirldwind and direct its storm," and 1 you are the "divinites who shape ends, rough hew them as we will" + t. '.-i,. --.. !
 On you call to save this injured, this unhappy | woman from sinking. We have snatchcd her from the house of bondage; to leave her now unprotec- ted would be cruelty instead of kindness. Visit not upon her the ignominy of her past life-not to her belongs its shame-not on her should be laid is reproach. Since Saturday last new life has open ed upon her. The book which she now unfods l has as yet no word upon it's pages. Ladies will you see that it's future record is an honest and the house of your Gop, teach her to worship His | name, cheer, comfort, counsel and aid her. l , It is astonishing how many schemes are constant l ly drnmmed up for the wasting of time, and the | throwing away of life. One of these has recently been called into service at Syracuse. An Eastern | pedestrian. Yarence, and Mir Mosher, of that vil | lage have made bet, by which the one that walks | plank, 12 feet long, wide, raised two feet from the floor, the greatest number ot hours in success sion, without sleep or rest, wins one hundred dol
