sRoss.-The trial of David S. McKim for the
murder of Samuel T. Norcross, of Lexington,
was commenced at Hollidaysburg, Penn on the
18th inst. The first witness called was John
Callahan, who testified to the finding of Nor
cross, in dying condition, on the south side
Of the railroad track near Altoona. The club
and razor with which it Is alleged Norcross
was killed, were exhibited and identified by
witness, who also recognized the travelling
box, violin box, fur cap and shawl of de-
ceased. John McCharters, keeper of the
Eagle Hotel, in Pitt burg, identified a S / bill
on the Fox Lane Bank, which was found in
the pocket OF Norcross, as one he had given
him in change. Norcross came to his house,
had his name registered and, also, as he SAID
that of his friend. David Mckinney of Phil
sdelphia, saw Norcross and defendant in COM
pany frequently. When the former paid his
bill, he saw $40 gold piece and other money
in his possession.
Samuel McMasters, clerk of the hotel, tes-
tilted to first seeing Norcross and defendant at
the hotel in the morning after coming out
from breakfast That McKim leaned over the
counter and told him confidentially, that he
had great trouble with Norcross that he was
suTject to fits, aud at times it would take two
or three men to hold him that the night pre-
vious he, Norcross, had slipped out of bed,
and awoke him-the defendant-by attempt
ing to beat his brains out against the wall.
Witness was further informed by defendant,
that he was taking Norcross from the West to
his friends in the East and that he had great
trouble with him, as he made every endeavor
to commit suicide while laboring under one of
those fits.

DIR. &. T. Jackson of Boston, has
written letter on the National Hotel NAL
ady, sustaining the opinion that it was the
result of miasma and not of poison in the
water or food. His view is sustained by the
fact That some were attacked with it who
merely visited the house, but did not eat or
drink there. A lawyer who spent but six
hours in the house was sick for as many
weeks with the disorder.
Rev. Mr.. Kalloch of Boston, took trip to

GREAT BRITAIN.-There is no political news
Of hostile character, but speculatons endless as
to the programme for the new Parliament
Among immediate home measures, probably, are
reform Of law ard chancery courts, continuance Of
the general board of health, rights of married
men, medical reform, and the revision of the
whole system of local taxation. 1t is surmised
that the opposition will commence an abstract
policy at once. It is officially announced that
Evelyn Dennison is the ministerial nominee for
Speaker. The London Star Classics the new
House as follows :-Palmerston 265, Derbytes
227, Reformers ITO, Liberal Conservatives So.
fRANCE-1he French Government has re-
solved to adopt the English system of transport
alton of criminals. Grand Duke Constantine
arrived at Toulon, and received the usual
houors. Accounts from French manufacturing
districts, are not satisfactory. Raw wool and
colonial produce are rising. Very little business
in the corn market. The growing crops look
favorable.
PoRTUGAL.-The London Post says the asser-
ton that Portugal will send force to China is
unfounded.
SPAIN.-Madrid correspondence indicate that
the Mexican difficulty presents fair chance for

mond Lodge of Odd Fellows celebrated their
18th anniversary, last evening, by a supper at
the Lincoln House, at which were present, the
members of the Order with their ladies, and few
invited guests. District Deputy Grand Marshal,
VIM. Greenleaf presided
The supper was got up in the most recherche
style, and Messrs. Bonney & Co. surpassed all
their former efforts, in the variety and excellence
of the viands with which the tables were loaded
After partaking of the good things spread before
them, sentiments were offered appropriate to the
occasion, which were responded to by different
members. Altogether it pleasant sociable
aff4r, and no doubt contributed to brighten the
chain of friendship, which binds the members
of the Order in fraternal, bonds throughout the
world

The AMERICAN PARTY IN CALIFoRNIA.-
Henry S. Foote'S reasons for abandoning the
American party in California, and advising
its dissolution, are publis he'd. lie says that
the party was originally established in that
State, to sustain the compromise measures of
1850, suppressing the slavery agitation and
saving the Union. 1t was wholly untainted
with the heresy of abolition, and went in only
for s,judicious" but not extravagant Ameri-
can reforms. The new administration being
satisfactory on the slavery question, Foote
recommends that the American organization
be abandoned.

DEATH FROM SuRPRIsE.-The individual
who gained the new prize of $40 at the
March drawing of the shares issued by the
city Of Paris for loan tor improvements,
was scayenger. His wife when she heard
of his unlooked-for good fortune, fell dead of
extreme joy. Her husband was less affected
by his good luck, and he has purchased the
stock and good will Of perfumer. Another
instance was that of poor non-commissioned
officer, charged with the duty Of reading a
list of promotions in his regiment to his com.
rades. He had not the least idea that his
own name was among the number, and when
he came to it he pronounced it mechanically,
and suddenly grew pale and expired.

THE CONTINENTAL VooALIsTs.-Me
Hall, tonight, will be the great centre of attrac-
zion. The Continentals will be OH hand in their
best mood.
The Boston Journal, in noticing their late per
formances in that city, says:
''The great element which attracts one towards
these singers, lies IN the blended ensemble of
their voices, which produces harmony such as we
have never heard in quartette of male voices
before. Added to these commendable qualities,
they avoid the affected mannerisms of too many
of their craft-therefore they not subjects for
ridicule. They dress in the costume Of our an
cestors''
Their agent, Mr.. William B. Thompson, is a
whole.souled, wide-awake, generous fellow, and
merits good house for his efforts No doubt
there will be a lull attendance.
