TRIAL OF MooRE.-Ths District Court has
been engaged almost exclusively during the
mast week in the trial of G. W. Moore. indicted
with Northup for the murder of Reynolds. A
large number of witnesses were examined, "a
great portion of the evidence having but little
bearing on the issue. One witness, Mr.. Dryden
of Alleghenytown, swOre positively that Moore
fred one shot at Reynolds, soon after Nor,
thup commenced shooting. The fact was not
sworn to by any other witness. but no attempt
was made to impeach Dryden's character The
evidence Ia the case was concluded Saturday
The argument was opened on Monday by Mr.
Hupp for the prosecution, who was followed by
Messrs. Meredith and Mcconnell for the de-
fense. and closed on Tuesday, by Mr.. Anderson,
the District Attorney. The Court instructed
the jury, that if they believed Northup was only
guilty of manslaughter they must aequit Moore,
Is by our law there can be no accessory to the
crime of manslaughter. This instruction was
considered very favorable for the prisoner. The
case was given to the jury at half past eleven
o'clock, yesterday, and at half past two they
brought in verdict of mot guilty"

displayed by the workmen. AS an eminent
pulpit orator, with whom we were acquain-

ity of his theme, here we might enlarge
to an infinite extent, but we leave it to
your fruitful Imagination to fill up the pic
