Taking stroll the other day with my

a great noise in the world, and often work
the lever that moves society; aud have
even known them to become Judges among
the people. After enjoying ourselves with
him awhile, (for editors are clever race
of men, we went on. As we crossed the
Monongabela in one Of those very cOmmo-
dious ferry boats that ply between this city
and Birmingham, we had fine view of
those butments, now 10 course Of construc-

fashioned overcoats. This, discovered,
was the habit of the order. We were seat
ed in the reception room but a short time,
when another in like habit entered very
blaudly, and, at our request, showed us
through the building. This is not entirely
finished yet. There is at work, now, a

White fed on the night of the murder,
was only to the circumstances and detail oi
the fact of her coming to them, and as to
the fact of their going with her back to
her honse and finding her husband perfect

the bed room where the murdered man
was lying when they went in, is pitiful and
such as would not crafty the tastes or feel

we're to give il in detail. Suffice it to say
that there, in the bed lay the murdered
