followed each other in quick succession, and of which

Britain have become invested with degree of inter-

ground between the hasy disonted, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the eaho-
rate and teatises to be furnished by the his

Nasal Court Martial Trial Of Com Jones, De-
As soon as the court assembled to-day, Commo-
dore Jones introduced as his counsel Gen. Walter
Jones' and the court admitted that gentleman to act
las such,
The Judge Advocate then read the various
charges and specifications. They are set forth at
great length, embracing the charge OF fraud against
the United States, exhibited in variety OF techni-
sal phrases. The gist of this charge is that Com.
Iones withdrew from the Purser portion of the
Military Contribution Fund left in his hands for
public use, and employed the for his own
private use in trafckng for gold dust and that his
report to the Department on the subject was false
report Another charge is of scandaous conduct,
unbecomng an officer and a gentleman. And a
more serious still charge of oppression one
Of the specifications OF which states that in pur-
suance Of the sentence of a eourt-martla convened
by him for the trial of two men, named Black, and
without that sentence having been approved by the
President Of the United States, he caused these
men to be executed.
After the charges had been read, Commodore
Jones asked leave to present paper prepared by
his counsel containing objections to some of these
charges
The Court having assented the paper was or
dered to be received, and was then read by the
Judge Advocate. 1t is long, ingenious and able
throughout Whether it will have its intended
effect on the Court remains to be seen. 1t treats
the charge of fraud lightly, denying that the Com
inodore had been guilty Of any offence. The exc
cutou of the two men is justified on the ground
that they had been engaged in mutiny, and tha
the Commodore was compelled, by the peculiar
circumstances in winch he was placed, to enforce
rigid discipline.
AS soon as this paper had been read, the Cour
ordered the room to be cleared, and the court ad
journed

REMARKABLE INcIDENT.-A singular OCCUR
renee happened in the village of Piedmont N. H.,
last week. Two little children, five and the
other three years Of age, having strayed from home
and not returning dark, inquiries were made for
them by the parents, and no trace was found Of
Them, general search throughout the night was
made by the people of the village. In the morning
the children discovered in an open field lying
upon the frozen ground and locked in each other s
arms, one sleeping soundly, and the other awake.
Although the night one, the little ones
have shown as yet, no i'll effects from the exposure
1t is truly wonderful how two such little children
could pass a winters night upon the cold, frozen
ground, without perishing. Boston Transcript,
