The remedy by new trial is much mo:e

fore Ordered that the judgment be set aside,

CO., Va, his military education pointed him
out as a proper man to command in our ar
mics. At the battles on Benis' heights,
according to Mr.. Hcadley, he kept himself
in camp, and took no active part in the
bloody contests; but such was the eciat at
tending the surrender Of Burgoyn, that he
was selected to relieve the falling fortunes
OF our countrymcn in the South, where,
however, in the battle Of Camden, he was
defeated and disgraccd. After the war, he
settled on his old estate in Virginia, but in
1890 he removed to New, Y ork, and was
e!ccteda member Of the Legislature He
died in 1906, II years Of age
Baron Stcubcn was one of the most into
resting characters among our military he
rocs. He was the great drill officer OF the
revolution, and first taught our raw soldiers
discipline, and so prepared them for victo-
rles. He was ald-de-camp to the King OF
Prussia, and learned the art of war under
the great Frederic; but he finally resigned
his military position, and honorcd with Va
rlous civil appointments, and en- owing u
salary of about $1,000 per annum, he sacri-
feed all, it seems by the solicitation, and
under some promises of the French Court,
to como to the United States, in order TO
teach us the art Of war. He first saw
our army at Valley Forge, Glmishcd,
half-naked, looking more like beggars
than soldiers, and fresh os he was from
tho wcIl-led and wcIl-disciplincd corps OF
Europe, the contrast must have been pain
ful enough. He, however,, undiscourag getl,
began his drills, and in the very next cam
paign, his soldiers began to retrieve the
losses they had suffered as raw troops here
toforc. From that time on. our regulars
were never beaten in IL fair fight and sub
sequcntly, at Eutaw Springs, some of his
men, to the utter amazement ofthc English
troops, beat them with their favorite weapon,
the bayonct. At the close Of the war, he
tried in vain TO obtain from Congress full
filment OF its contracts with him, and only
after seven years trial, could he, through the
instrumcntalty of Washingto and Hamilton,
finally obtained a pension of $4,000 year.
The New York Assembly voted him a
township of land near Utica, in that State,
where he built a Lighthouse, died, and was
buried in 1897.
We have no room even to abbrcviate
what is said OF Gen. Wayne, the hero o
Stony Point, who died at the age of 81 soon
after his successful expedition against the
Indians on the then Western frontier. Fol
his life, and for the lives Of the others, we
must refer our readers to Mr.. Headley's
book.

Comets are light vapory bodies, which
move round the sun in orbits much less cir
cular than those ofthe planets. The orbits,
in other words, are very long ellipses or
ovals having the sun near one of the ends
Comets usually have two parts, body or
nucleus, and tail but some have body
only. The body appears as a thin, vapory,
luminous mass, Of globular form; it is so
thin, that in some cases the stars have been
seen through it. The tail is lighter or
thinner luminous vapor, surrounding the
body, and streaming far ont from it, in one
direction. A vacant space has been OBJ
served between the body and the enveloping
matter Of the tail and it is equally remark
able that the tail has in some instances ap-
peared less bright along the middle, lmme-
diately behind the nucleus, as if it were
stream which that nucleus had in some
measure parted into two. In ignorantag ages,
the appearance of a comet in the sky, never
failed to OCCASION great alarm, both on ac-
count of its threatnng appearance, and be-
cause it was considered as a s. gn that war;
peslilcnce or famine, was about to afflct
mankind. knowledge has dispclIed all
such fancies; but yet we are not we'll ac-
quainlcd with the nature of comets. Out of
the great misunderstanding not less than
1,0O0-which are supposed to exist, about
$50 have been made the object of scientific
observation. Instead OF revolving. like the
planets, nearly on the plane of the suns
equator, it is found that they approach his
body from all parts ofthc surrounding space.
At first, they are seen slowly advancing,
with comparatively faint appcarance.-
AS they approach the sun, the motion be-
comes quicker, and at length they pass

GILES, slave of New Trial.
VIM Pratt.
This is a second trial, Of which the pro-
ccedings arc now before me: and regret
10 perceive, that i'll a matter so important,
as every matter affecting the life Of a human
creature must be, notwithstanding the PLAIN
directions given in the Magistrates Act Of
1889, there are yet many and great errors
in the proceedings Magistrates who pre-
side at the trial of cases like this, should re-
member that the law requires the various
warrants and returns thereof, the steps by
which the Court is organized, the offence
distinctly stated, the evidence, the judgment
and the sentence, all to be in writing. 1t
is not sufficient that an essential matter did
actually exist: it must appear on the face
of the proceedings, and be there shewn 10
have existed. What is written must be ta-
ken to have been all that appeared for
here especially the rule applies, that part
cannot be in writing and part be left to the
memory of witnesses.
In these proceedings the following par
ticulars do aot appear, which should have
appeared, viz;-
l. That the owner Of the slave had one
days notice Of the time and place of the tri
al No recital of this is in the minutes of
the Court; and if we look to separate pa
per, the return Of the Constable does not
appear to have been sworn to.
g. That the freeholders were neighbor-
ing freeholders of the District in which the
offence was committed.
3. That the treeholders were summon
ed
4. That by the selection Of the owner,
Or other means authorized by the Act of
1889, the freeholders who sat on the trial
were regularly taken out Of eight that were
summoned. 20
S. That the free white witnesses exam
ined in the case were sworn.
6. That after the evidence on the part oil
the prosecution had been heard, the prison
er, his owner, or any person IN his behalf
was called OH for testimony in answer tc
the charge.
VI. That the sentence is to be executed in
the year l847, or any other particular
year.
8. That the place of execution is certain
iy fixed, without all alternative left to the
choice of the executjoner
8. That the execution is to be done by any
particular constable, or by any constable a
all.
10. That there was distinct statcmen

soner was put on trial, to which the testi
mony was annexed.
