A LAWYERS STORY.

One of the most extraordinary and
interesting trials of which | find any ac-
count in my notebook, took place in the
Northern Circuit, very little less than
fifty yearsago. 1t is instructive in many
points of view. To those who believe
they see the finger of Providence
especially pointing out the murderer, and
guiding, in slow but unerring course,
the footsteps of the avenger of blood, it
will afford matter ofd deep meditation and
reflection. TO those who think more
lightly upon such subjects; to those
whom philosophy or Indifference has
taught to regard the passing current of
events as gliding on in smooth and UNI
rutAcd channel, varied only by the leaves
which the chance winds may blow into
the stream, it will offer food for. grave
contemplation. However they may
smile at the thought of Divine interposi-
ton, they will recognize in the story
another proof of the wisdom of the sage
Of old, who said, that when the Gods had
determined to destroy man, they be-
gan by depriving him of his senses, that
is, by making him act as if he had lost
them. TO the Inexperienced in my pro-
fcssion it will teach lesson of pru-
dence, more forcble than ten thousand
arguments could make it; they will learn
that of which they stand deeply i'll need,
and which scarce anything but dear
bought experience can enforce-to rest
satisfied with success, without examining
too nicely how it has been obtained, and
never to hazard defeat by pursuing a
victory too far. "Leave yell enough
alone,' is maxim which wise man in
every situation of life would do well to
observe; but if barrstcr wishes to rise
to eminence and distinction, let him have
it deeply engraved on the tablet of his
memory. |.Ist'.t ..I'r
In the year 1S-, John Smith was
indicted for the wilful murder of Henry
Thomson. The case was one of a most
extraordinary nature, and the interest
excited by it was almost unparalleled
The accused was a gentlemen of consid-
cradle property, residing upon his estate
in an unfrequented part of -shire.-
A person, supposed to be an entire
stranger to him, had, late on a summers
day, requested and obtained shelter and
hospitality for the night. He had, it
was supposed, after taking some slight
refreshment, retired to bed in perfect
health, requesting to lbe awakened at an
early hour the following morning. When

narily exist, a religious controversy is to take
place, who can a!iay the excitement with
those mbntd causes may produce. and
when will such a contcst be finally settled?
In this country every man is permitted to
worship his Maker in such way as his con-
science may approve. Our laws and constitu.

A CASE OF CiHcrMSrANTIAL EVIDENCE
The following an"cdotc 0Dr0pOs Of the gold
m.tals-some of great valuc--which the
French government is distributing to the
members Of the International jury and Others
is related by the French correspondent of the
Corner DIES EtatS tniS. The scene is laid in
a drawing room in Paris. One Of the COM
pany was showing gold medal which had
been awarded him, and which was worth five
thousand francs. The medal passed from
band to hand, and when, half an hour after
wards, the owner asked for it again, it could
not be found. Every nook and corner was
searched but in vain. This sudden disap-
pcarancc produced considerable. agitation in
the company, which was select, but numcr-
Gus, and finally some one proposed that every
one should be searched, the men by the men
aud the women by the women. All the
persons present eagerly signili,d their assent,
with the exception Ola single individual, who
had been presented that very night for the
first time in the house. This man declared
very calmly, but very decidedly, that he

he was the robber, and the gentleman who
introduced Him was more dead than alive.

owner Of the medal had cntrcald the COM

having risen from her scat, To- the missing
medal suddenly fell out of one Of The hounccs
of her dress, into which it had accidentally
slipped and buried itself. The scnSa ton pro-
duccd by this Sudden denopcment was pro-
