Cooke and G. D. Royslon, Esq'rs, as her counsel.
 The trial came of, on Saturday last at Washington. It occupied the court through out the day and unlil late hour on Saturday highl. The prosecution was ably carried on oy Nil Field, and as ably defended by the aaove named gentlemen.
 The jury after short retirement returned verdict i'll favor of the widow Duncan, af- ter which, Mir. Cooke arose and addressed the jury as follows: "Gentemen, you have been delayed all day on this tedious aud ia- ierestlng trial. We have been advocating the cause oi poor widow lady who is left with seven orphan children, many of them help less We intend that our services shall be slalullous, and hope you, gentlemen, will likewise throw in your mile of servlces.-. However, should you not feel disposed 10 do 50. here are three dollars, l will pay you out of my own pockelr' The jury, of course, to a man, cried out, no not il cent!
 Such generous, such noble conduct, should he emhiazoned in letters of gold, that the generations to come may see them; for of a truth they will be stored in Heaven, where neither moIhs can corrupt, nor thieves break through and fIch them. May the hearts that feel for the widow and the orphan never feel sorrow, and may the tongnes that thus ad- vocaied their eause, never, never taIter, as long as such truly generous hearts beat the tune of life.
