An AFFECTING ScENE.-On Saturday, police
officer brought from the jail, and led through the
ourt room, the boy Conroy, on his way 10 the
chamber where the grand jury were In session. As
has been already stated, he was one Of those
who set fire to Aexander's printing Office, and II was
proposed to make witness Of him against the eldest
boy Goddard. His mother had taken position al
the foot or the steps. As soon as he approached,
she sobbed louder than BEFORE as though her heart
was breaking. She seized him by the hand, and
threw her arm around his neck, and was in the act
Of kissing him, when he turned aside his head, the
tears coursing down his cheeks and grief choking
his ulterance The officer put his handkerchief to
his own eyes, Injured as no WINS to scenes Of dis
tress, this moved him. He was father. As he nnd
the boy passed on, the mother, with deep drawn
sigh and somewhat after the manner of the father Of
Absalom exclaimed: "My son, my SON, obi that you
had died before this disgrace had come upon me-"

John P. Stone, accused Of passing ten dollar coun-
terfeit bill on II, II. McPhcrson jr, and one on v.
Harbaugh. There are eight or nine other indlct-
ments against him, for similar offences, pending.
He does not appear to Pc more .nan s.
charge, on Friday, and which was considered the
more serious one by his counsel, he entertained
hopes Of an acquittnl on the other cuses, but when
the jury with the usual air Of soemnity, pronounced
the word guilty, there was spasmodic convulsion
Of his entire frame, blueness suffused his lips, and
his face assumed an ashy paleness. His heart sunk
within him. "The way Of the transgessor Is hard.'
Instead Of bright prospects, and freedom, gloom and
incarceration may be his portion.
