New HAVEN, december l9.
Last winter, a boy named Charles E.
Sage, about 10 years Of age, was missing
from his home in Cromwell, near Middle
ton, in this State, aud an freshman named
Patrick Nugent was arrested on the
charge Of hismurder and putting the body
under the ice in the Connections river.
In q few months afterwards a body was
found in the river, without . head. This
body was believed to be that of the mis-
sing boy, from several marks upon it. as
we'll as from q portion of the clothing
Soon afterwards, the lining Of an oyercoat
was found, answering to the description
of that worn by the missing person. =
Some months after, q sailor named Benson
directly charged Nugent, the Irishman,
with theSmurder.
He said be saw the deed done, and as
s:sred Nugent in putting the corpse under
the hay-mow. He described accurately
the lads appearance, his dress, the color
of his hair, aud declared that he had not
had any peace of mind since the murder,
and that he had come to comwell express
tyto dfvufgs an hs knew about it.
He confronted Nugent, and charged
the deed upon him. The accusted denied
it, but shook from head to foot. A true
bill was found against Nugent, and he
was to be tried this month. Within a
few days, however, the missing boy has
been discovered in the interior of Penn
sylyania by his uncle. A special court
was Immediately held, and Nugent was
liberated.
Benson, the sailor, has been arrested
for perjury, with intent to take life. He
acknowledged his guilt of the crime,
which will send him to the States Prison
for life.

Time of Electing Congressman in

Among the wholesome legislation of the
coming winter, we hope to be able to re-
cord the passage of an act changing the
time of electpg members of Congress ia
Ohio. Under the law as it new stands,
the people are compelled to go into an
election more than a year before the mem
bers take their seats. This is all wrong.
Public agents who arc to make our laws
should be chosen as shortly as possible
before those avs are to be enacted. In
this way, the people can know What sent
ments their members held up to the time
they are about to act. Messrs. Horton,
Mott and Nichols, of this State, are now
holding seats in Congress they were
elected in october, 1856. Had the cleo
ton not taken place until the recent Dc
tober, their places would have been filed
by democrats-each of their districts hav-
ing given a large majority against them
at the last State election.-NeVark Ad-
rocdte.
