street, two beautiful oil paintings from the pencil Of
William Mcleod, formerly Of this city. They are
set in rich gilt oval frames The scenes represented
are on the line Of the New York and Erie Railroad
The one is Sutunn Afternoon in the Ramapo val
ley, the noble Torn (or steeple) mountain in the
distance. The view is a happy mixture Of the
gentle and wild, the sublime and the beautiful.
The other picture represents Rafting Scene on
the Delaware river.
MIR. Mcleod is the author of the New York and
Erie Railroad Guide, which is enriched with
sketches taken by himself Of the grand and highly
picturesque scenery along the line OF the road
RETRocEssIoN AND notwithstanding to an
article in the Telegraph, many OF the citizens Of
Georgetown are again talking strongly of retro
cession, and, judging from those who are engaged
in and most Jealous for the measure it is supposed
that an effort will be made at an early day to ac-
compsh it. Others are talking of charter reforms,
and it is understood that town meeting will soon
be held for the purpose of trying the public pulse
upon the subject.
The DAY CAsE.-Yesterday afternoon, at TWEEN
ty five minutes past three O'Clock, an officer was
despatched TO the jury-room TO inform the jurors
that the court about to adjourn; ; but that, If
| there was any likelihood of their soon coming to
an agreement, it would sit longer. After a brief
absence the officer returned, and reported that
there "no probability of their ever agreeing"
The court being informed that MIR. Wardell, the
foreman Of the jury, was sick, the attending baiff
was instructed to permit him, or any other juror
who may be taken sick, to call in physician,
who, however, must not be permitted to converse
with the patient upon any subject apart from
that Of the disease.
| The court adjourned until eight O'Clock.
| At that hour, as sooA the doors of the court
room were opened, the hundreds of persons who
| had congregated outside rushed in--some of them
| in SO rude and noisy manner that the Judge
called upon the officers to suppress the disorder.
| The court being reopened, Mr. Robinson, the
crier, was despatched to the jury room to ascer-
tain whether the jury likely to agree upon a
verdict He soon afterwards returned and report
ed that there no probability of the jury agree

The court was then adjourned until ten O'Clock

SMALL NoTEs.-On Tuesday, as we heretofore
stated, Mr. Radcliffe, in the criminal court, de-
INJURED to the indictment against J. F. Calan
and T. M. Hanson for issuing notes under the de-
nomination of FIVE dollars. One of the points pre-
sented was "uncertainty, in this that it docs not
appear that the note bill mentioned issued
and passed currency" Yesterday reference
made to a decision of Chief Justice Cranch in
the circuit court, in the of the United States
us Stettinius, in 1899; and on that the Court
tanned the demurrer. Therefore the indictment
falls; and those against William Selden and r. w.
Latham share the same fate on similar grounds.

TIMELY CAUrIoN.-We learn from gentleman
who was passenger in the evening train of cars
on Sunday that when within mile of Bladens-
burg, several persons, some dstancefrom the road,
perceiving heavy fence-rail or post lying across
the track, succeeded in alarming the engineer,
who sackened the speed of the locomotive. The
COW catcher gently pushed the rail in front Of it
until full stop could be made. The impedimont
removed; and dangerous consequences, which
might have ensued but for the timely warning,
were thus averted.

ing tree, her eyes intent on her work. but he
thoughts apparently divided between it an
some object nearer to her heart. AT door
way sits young mother, surrounded by tw
or three children, playing round the little tabi
or wooden settle on which her lace pillow rests
Whilst the mothers busy fingers are thus prof
itably employed, her eyes keep watch over thu
movements of her little ones, and she can a
the same time spare an attentive thought fol
some one of her humble household duties
Brcssmakers, mliners, and other female:
employed in the various occupations which
minister 10 the exigencies Of fashion, are con
fined to close rooms, surrounded by masses OF
siIh, muslin, &c. They are d.barred the
heaIthfn practice of working in the open air,
and can scarcely venture even to sit at an
open window, because drop of rain or puff
of wind may be fatal 10 their work and its ma
terials. The lace maker, on the contrary,
whose work requires only her thread and her
fingers, is not disturbed by refreshing breeze
or light shower; and even when the weather
is not particularly fine, she prefers sitting at
the street door or in her garden, where she en-
Joys brighter light than within doors.
In most Of the principal towns Of the Meth
erands there is one particular locality which
Is The focus Of lace making industry and
there, in fine weather, the streets are animated
by the presence OF the busy work women In
each ofthese districts there is usually one wide
open street which the SpeldenerhserS prefer to
all others, and in which they assemble, and
form themselves into the most picturesque
groups imaginable. 1t is curious to observe
them, pouring out Of narrow laues and alleys,
carrying with them their chairs and lace pill
lows, TO take their places in the wide open
street, where they can enjoy more Of bright
Light and fresh air than in their own places OF
abode
81 conld not help contrasting" says khol,
"the pleasing aspect of these streets with the
close and noisy workrooms in woolen and cot
ton manufactures. There the workpeople are
all separated and classified according to age
and sex, and marshaled like soldiers. There
domestic and family ties are rudely broken
There chance or exigrncy separates the yorng
factory girl from her favoric companions, aud
dooms her to associate with strangers. There
social conversation and the merry song ARE
drowned in that stunning din of machinery,
which in the end paralysis even the power Of
thought"
