an INTERESTING TRIAL.
eDee Of The N. Y. Tribune.

oorresp ondeDes Of The NJ Y. Tribune.
READING, Pa, Tuesday, Nov. q, 1855.
At our last court fifty one bills were acted upon
by the Grand Jury, and forty true bills returned.
One case in the Circuit Court was remarkable for
its character and the little interest it excited in
city of 10000 inhabitants 1t was the trial of q
yourg German girl, lately arrived, for infantiede
1t app. AIRED from the evidence that she came here
a stranger, and after few days was taken ILL,
comp lsnng of severe pain and diarrbea. After one
Of her visits to the privy child was found in the
sinh. An examination of the lungs by the hydro
stst,e test was made by physicians, who gsve it as
their opinion that the child bad lived, because the
lungs foated in water, in whole and in parts.
Their evidence was strong and TO the point.
The manner in which this case was conducted
shows the value of legal saaacity. The doctors
had neglected TO regulate strictly the temperature
of the water in which the lungs had been tested.
This was taken advantage of by the counsel for
the de'ente Mr. Richards by very ingenious
and delicate experiment, in the following manner,
d. mODstrsted to the jury that there was no rel
snct to be placed on the hydrOstatic test, unle,s
the temperature of the water had been carefully
sscertained: He put small vial of shot, just
bes enough 10 float in water of medium tenn
perature, into warm water, and it sank. On put.
ting il into cold water the vial hoated Ample au-
tbor,ies we're quoted, old and new, German and
EDgli,h to show that no reliance lhould be placed
On the by drOstatic test. The counsel declared his
intention to explode it in English and German-by
hot and cold water-that it should not put another
innocent persons life in peril. The experiment
excited the curiosity of the court and was an i'm
poItsnt part of the defense. Taken in connection
with The touching appeal to the finer feelings OF
The jury, dlatiDg the haroships of the case, it
could not isil to procure an acquttal.
AlihAnpb this was n trial for murder in the first
6egree-th state represented by additional coun-
sci, the defense conducted by three of the ablest
at the bar, ~bO put forth their best efforts yet
not more than sixty spectator were at any time
present IT the trial, and that number dwindlod
down TO thirteen at the summing up of the coun.
sci for the prosecution. This in city of 10000

SOUTHERN SKETCH BY SOUTHERN EDIToR.-Ihe
Richmond Examiner is in tie habit OF arguing that
slsveabor society is the only orderly, pea ceaoe and
permsne nj fern of association known among men. We
commend to its attention the following picture OF the
South drawn by Southern citizen, the edAor OF The
81. Louis Inteliigencer:
AT the South, that character called the Bully
fourshts in tropical gorgeousress and uIuriance. He
delights in blood, and never walks abroad unprovided
with weapons to draw it. He bristes with bowie
knives and Is loaded to The guards With dsggey and
sX.shooters. He is overbeariDg to those who fear
him; wary Of and ready TO have the first chsnce at
bote who fear him not, and inse'ent to all. He has
money, and spends il freely to gain from those
whom be is always treating the title OF clever feo
He assumes mwsnantable liberties in ali places, aud
is ready TO recent mortal insult hint to behave
himself. His clustering bravados and burly black
guardsm ha.hs'd at by the dependent lick
spit,les who a ways follow him. Ii he nsuts man
who shows fight, be is sure to draw his weapon and
shoot stab first. II he receives stroke hom one
fsi as he frequently deserves, he butchers the Of
fender and the Law ers make the jury believe thst
the deed is one OF sefderense. he is nearly always
10 shooting or stsbbipg spe, and though every
bOoy knows be ia in the wrong, somehow or other he
invariably manages to get out of them. He is socie-
tvs enemy and society is bis enemy
In the South murc erers and mansayers are to be
found in every village, town and neghbOrhoOd going
at large and ever ready to add another TO the List OF
their victims. In the North-be 1t sad to the credit
of Northern Courts and Northern Juriee-;heee char

high position and numerous friends of Professor Web
ster could not him from the penalty due TO bis
crime; but Matt. Ward, in Kentucky, wao committed
q crime equally henous and more eowardly, Is turned

For a much less ofsnse than Wards, DR.. Graham,
