An interesting criminal trial has lust been
brought to close in Orleans County Court.
II was the trial of Hannah Parker. alias
Heath, aims Stcknev, for the murder of her
infant. The homicide was committed seven
or eight years ago, shortly after which she
was arrested, tried, and found guilty. From
the testimony on the former trial her own
confession being the most conclusive mart of
IT, 1t appeared that she was the mother Of a
enid about year old, whose paternity was
very doubtful as she had lived with several
men as their wife. Being abandoned bv them
all,' she led a wandering life, in Northern
Vermont and Canada. The last that was seen
OF the child alive, she was with it in Barton
or coventry going towards Black River. \
lew days after it was found in the River.
dead, with its neck and legs tied together
with garter. The proof of her guilt was
conclusive, but upon her trial some cXcep-
tlons were reserved for the consideration of
the supreme Court, and she was renanded to
lail to await their action. In the Snpromo
court the case was continued from term to
term tor six or seven wears. she in the mean
while making the Jail her headquarters, but
having very wide range of ail-vard. At
the last session Of the Supreme Court, the
former judgment against her was reversed,
and the cause remanded for trial. The same
witnesses were called NJ TINS trial as at the
former, but, singular to relate. the facts hdd
faded entirely from their memories. Even the
witness to whom her confession was made
was unable to testify posjtireiy that she adj
mitted her guilt. OF course "a reasonable
doubt was raised in the minds of the iurv.
and she was acquitted A justification oftle
acquittal is found in the fact that shc was
originally Of very feeble intellect, and has for
several years been tending towards idiocv.
She attended the trial with most stolid in
difference, and frightened up but a very little
when told that she was at liberty to go
whithersoever she would.
A good deal has recently been done to-
wards breaking up the gang of countcrfetcrs
who dwell just across the Canada line, and
from that secure position flood - the States
with bogus coin and counterfeit bills. \ few
weeks ago several arrests were made in Cana
ia, and among the prisoners was one who had
been leader in the villany. Their machi-
merry and tools, which were of very nice work
manship, were also seized as well as Il guam
tlty of their manufactures. Week before
last one of the gang was arrested at this place
just as he was about to leave in the cars. He
had in his possession Il few coins and nearly
800 in counterfeit threes of the Nashua
Bank. He was taken before magistrate
and bound over for trial in the sum of .;ljOO /
which failing to procure, he was committed
to jail. p. II. ".

the German was much interested in the

the listener, by suggesting to him that ii

hear once more those mournful bells
Break on the Sabbath air;
And to my lips comes back again
The long unuttered prayer;
My heart reverberates with them
To old, forgotten chimes,
For with those mournful bells are linked
The thoughts of other times.
The steeple where, boy, climbed,
The tombs, the bending yew,
The pulpit, and the solemn aisle.
The unforgotten pew;
The moss upon the sloping roof,
The porch. the lowly door,
And link'd with forms, whose memory
They only can restore.
Like voices of the past they speak
To unaccustomed ears,
And better thoughts come yelling up
With heart -subduing tears;
And though their tones seem sad to me,
My bosom watcher tells
How full of hope have been the chimes
Of those old mournful bells.

In regard to the size of the capital, Yedo,
the following information is gathered:
= IT Was during this interval that an officer of
the squadron approached Yedo, and if he did
not actually enter it, was at least near enough
to judge of It's appearance, and TO ascertain,
what, however. we believe surveying party
had done before, that close to the shore there
Is five tathoms water. 50 that it can be ap-
preached BY large ships. The city is in the
form Of a crescent, and stands on an extensive
plain, with a magnificent back ground of the
mountains and wooded country but it seems
to possess no striking public buildings, while
the dwelling houses are generally of one story,
and, therefore, present nothing imposing in
their appearance, except their vast numbers
and the space they occupy. The population
Of the capital has, however, been greatly ex-
aggerated, for though it is certainly great, the
japanese officers themselves placed YedO third
among the cities in the wOrld-London, they
said, BEN & the first, and Paris the second.
