Al . o'clock everything being ready
the shrill whistle seated ,ie gay and ha y.

the depot.
The day was beautiful, the rays Of the
sun were sufficiently warm, without be-
ing oppressive, and the changing and va

into parties Some from the elevated
bank taking II hong and wondering hook
at the Lake spread out before them
And others preparing for the expected
rcpast and future dance. while each
sportsman with iouling piece in hand and
accoutremcnts readily disposed, marrying
to an fro gave promise Of the sylvan game.
Soon however all were seated in parties
under the outrageous trees on the bank
cf the lake, and spreading the cdibles on
the table mother earth afforded Tor the
occasion, il was evident The ride had not
impaired the appctitcs Of the laughing
iun'loving cxcnrsionists.
That interchangeable officer. the superin.
tendcnt had everything placed in rcadi.

Of the dance.
After spending few hours in varied

yawl and small boats kindly furnished
for the purpose, the whistle gave notice
that our faces must be homeward.
The bustling crowd gained the cars at

The coming War in Europe.

The Vienna correspondent of the Lon

q am glad to say strong feeling
against France is rising throughout Ger
many, and growing more fervent daily,
and the best German newspapers very
frankly declare that if France thinks of
making any aggression on its neighbors,
England, Austria, Prussia, and the other
German States, will curb its insolenee on
new Waterloo. But the darkest cloud
is in the East. You know the proper
ton of Greeks to Turks in Turkey in
Europe is 27,000,000 to 100000. 1t
appears these Greeks are enrolled into
secret societies, and are ready to rise at
any moment. Their leaders are busy in
Europe-at London, at Vienna, at St.
Petersburgh, in Paris, urging their policy
on the Western and Northern powers
I This is their policy; The execution o
the promises made by Turkey at the re
cent general treaty to make the Greek.
equal to the Turks in every respect.
this be done, the Greeks will speedily b,
masters of the Turkish government, b.

tons, rules us all, the ascendency G

nicely laid up in Mrs. Cullough's draw

in diameter, and their hands looked like
birds claws One ofthe little innocents
in the agonies of starvation, had sucked
its arm to an unnatural shape! The

Trial Of DR.. Howard.

We Learn from the Chronicle that in
this case, which is attracting so much at
tention, the Jury came in on Thursday
morning, with a verdict of guilty of the
lesser offence i. E., guilty of the attempt
with intent to procure abortion, and not
guilty of procuring an abortion which re-
suited in the death of the mother. The
extent of punishment is three years ia
State Prison. Towards bonds in this
case are reduced from $1,000 to $500,
and he at large,-sentence having been
respited, in consequence of some excep-
tons being allowed. We believe that
Howard is under bonds on other charges,
TO the amount of about 1900. The
same correspondent also gives his opinion
that medical men are not obliged to at
tend trials as experts, when they are not
witnesses of any of the facts that 90 tC
prove the case. In proof of this he cites
a case that came before Lord Campbell
of England in 1858. He gave iudg
ment that a scientific witness having
asked his opinion as to whether he wa
bound to attend upon being served with
subpoena, he would say that scientif
witness was not bound to attend and ough
not to be subpenaed. If he knew an
question of fact, he might be compelle
to attend, but Her Majesty's subject
) were not compellable to give their attend
ance to speak on matters of opinion
