CIRCUIT COURT.

Monday, Nov. 9, ls46-This being the day fixed
for the celebrated Thomas case, the courtroom was
considerably crowded
Judge Cranch being absent from sickness, Judge
Dunlop being relative of the accused, and conse-
quenty not sitting in this case there remained but
one Judge on the bench, (MorseIl.)
motion was made by the prosecuting attorney,
that the case be postponed to short day, at which
time Judge G. might be able to sit. This was OBJ
jected 10, asi would interfere with the adjournment
ofthis court which never sits during the session of
the Supreme Court.
After various propositions, one, that Judge Nor
sell try the case alone, (Which he most emphatically
declned) had been made. His honor Judge M. Pc
remptory ordered that the case be postponed till the
first Monday in March next, to which day the wit
nesses were discharged.
The accused and his counsel, with some friends,
were present in court. .t'
And then, on motion of the District Attorney,
the court adjourned to enable all present to attend

The New York Election and the President
Without designing to take part in party politics, we
give the following from the Union of Saturday night
viz;
"We have observed in some of the
whig journals suggestions, that Mr.
Wrght's defeat has not been altogether unpleasing
to some of the members of the administration. The
idea has particle of truth and no color of proba-
bility. We undertake TO say-and we speak the fact
we know it-that Mr. Wright carried with him,
throughout his canvass, the strong wishes Of the
whole administration for his success"
We will merely add to the above, that gentle
man informs us having derived it from good author-
ty' that, ten or twelve days before the New York
election, MIR. Polk was apprised through private
channel, Of "suggestons" that it was believed he
would be pleased with Mr.. Wrights defeat Mr..
Folk was highly incensed at this, and caused
prompt denial of the fabrication to be made in the
quarter where it originated.

First Anniversary, May the twenty-
Seuentb, 1916.
The Executive Council submit to the
American Photographic Society, as their
Report, the following statement Of facts.
The objects of the writing, printing and
spelling reformation have, during the last
year, become much better understood by
the public at large, and the pressing ne
cessity of such a reform is generally felt,
and admitted. The Council deem it s2e>
cially encouraging that the nature of our
labors is comprehended and their import
ance estimated by the plain common sense
Of the country, and, perhaps, to the great
est extent among the farming communi-
ties OF our Western States.
Photography continues to be taught,
more and more extensively in the acade>
mics aud high schools in New England
and other parts of the country. From
England we receive, from time to time,
the most cheering accounts Of progress,
both there and on the continent, accompa.
MED with lively expressions of interest in
our own success. Photographers among
us are rapidly attaining the perfection OF
the art, both in speed aud beauty ofexecu>
ton, while we have printers so trained
that they compose with facility from the
most contracted photographic copy.

BRANDON, Thursday June Q5, 1916.

"Scarcely had she taken this brief sur
vey, and noted the nearer approach OF thu
flame, when the dog came bounding tc
her side, and, witt he most earnest petr,
tons, sought her attention without the
door, She followed him a few steps,
scarcely thinking what she did, but, find,
ing nothing, and seeing him making rap-
idly for some distant point, she turned
back, closed the door, and sat down be-
fore the window, to watch the progress of
the fire. In an instant he was there,
paving, whining, bowling, and, by eve,
ny means in his power, soliciting her al,
tention. Before she could open the door
10 admit him ho bounded through the
window.
Morciful God what have you
done! we shall all be consumed-there
is no hope now!' lie stood a, her fec, !;
the strong intelligence Of his fsce facinat-
ed her eye in spite of the danger. What
could he mean? In an instant the saga
city of his instinct flashed upon her. 10
the ~pioughed field Yes, there was hope,
and there alone. She seized the two
younger children in one arm, and aImos,
lifting the other by her hand, she fled
along the trodden path, the delighted dog
going before, and manifes;ing his joy by
every sign in his power. They gain the
fence-the fire is at their heels, it almost
blisters their unprotected faces! One or
two more leaps, and the herbless ground
is gained. The fire has nothing now to
feed on, and almost faint with the sudden
and certain safety, the exhausted mother
drops on the ground among her helpless
infants.
Merciful Savior, what an escape !!
In n few minutes the flames are besieging
the house, the logs, covered with dry
bark, are but n morset in their fierce
jaws. the hay-8tack takes fire and commu-
nicates 10 the rest of the cabin, and while
the great volumes of tho fire sweep among
the trees and over the plain, it leaves the
heavier materials to be consumed more
slowly. Long did the light of the burn

That wakes the slumbering seas;
Sweet music floats among the stars,
And murmurs in the breeze;
1t breathes a ceaseless evening hymn
O'er mountain, hill and dale;
And when the sun has sunk to rest,
Inspires the nightingale:
But DER the music of the storm,
That wakes the slumbering seas -
Above the music of the stars,
That murmurs in the breeze
Or sacred hymns that gently float
Der mountain, hill and dale
And when the sun has sunk to rest,

AVN -N6
On SLAVERY.
L. Resolved, Tha, we believe that
holding and using human beings as prop.
er;v, and thus degrading those whom
God made but ia little lower than The
angels" 10 the condition of brutes and
things, is sin-complicated sin =; involv"
ing man stealing, oppression, robbery, ex-
t%orlion, and Other great crimes, and ought
10 be regarded as are other most fragrant
outrages upon the inalienable rights Of
humanity.
2. Resolved, That slave>holding hav-
ing been commenced in wrong-ln the
violation of every principle OF right and
Justice between man and man, can be
continued only by a continuance OF the
wrong in which it commenced ; there
fore, the fact of slaves being found in the
possession of members Of the church,
should be regarded as prima tacie evil
dence OF said members guilt, aud they
should be required 10 prove that they hold
said slaves by the most imperious and
uncomfortable necessity, or be proceeded
against as in other cases of immortality.
3. Resolved, That all efforts made 10
conciliate slavcholdiug friends'and mems
bers of our church. who can free their
slaves and will not, and thus retain them
in our fello vship, is both improper and
impolitic, "a it is calculated to %perpetuaIe
slavery in the church, and thus impose a
painful and exciting duty upon that por-
ton of her members who cannot and will
not live in church-communion with per-
sous engaged in this unchrIstian practice,
without employing all proper measures 10
reform them, and extirpate the great evil
they cherish and defend.
a. Resolved, That while the present
aspect of the anli>slavery cause in the
church demonstrates the efficiency of our
measures, they furnish the strongcst"rea-
sons possible for faithful adherence to our
principles and continuance ia their propa-
cation. and cannot fairly be constructed
into an apology for the suspension of our
efforts and therefore, while we sympa-
thize with brethren situated near the line
of division between the M. Z. Church
and the Church South, and would care
fully AVOID doing any thing unnecessari-
Nv 10 embarrass their christian endeavors,
we cannot suffer our sympathIes TO carry
us so far as 10 allow this great evil to be
retained, nursed and defended in the boz
som of the church, without reiterating our
most sincere and solemn protest against
it.

their monarch. So vast was the coIlcc-
lion of birds Of prey, in a building devot,
ed 10 them, that 500 turkeys, the cheap
est meat in Mexico, were allowed for their
daily consumption. Such were the "HalIS
OF the Montezumas! !" The summer res,
'dence of the monarch, on the hill oil
ChapoItcpec, overlooking the city, was
surrounded by gardens of several miles
in cxtent, and here were preserved until
the middle Of the last century two statues
of the Emperor and his father. The
great cypress trees, under which The Az
tee sovereign and his associates once held
their moonlight r%evels, still shade the
royal gardens. Some of them, SO feet 10
circumference, are several thousand years
ola, but are yet as green as in the days Of
Montezuma, whose ashes, or those of his
ancestors render sacred in the eyes Of the
native Mexicans, the hill of Chapoltepec.
Natural decay and a waning population
now mark the scat of power of the great
Montezumas.
