His face was very pale, denoting the deep
interest in the result which was 10 set

and beheld the array of female faces turn

quently noticed. He glanced at the ju-
rors, and then fixed his eyes upon the
clerk, to whom the verdict was handed by
the foreman. The room was hushed to
perfect silence ms the clerk read the YER
dict: We, the jury, find the defend
ant not guilty after the manner and form
of the Indictment"
The prisoner leaped upon his feet and
desired to make speech to the court and
crowd. He proceeded 10 say: 81 thank
the Judge for the attention he has paid
the case: but the principal thing | have
to say is, if there is anything in this case
can clear up, l would like to do it; if
there is any doubt | would like to clear it
up"
The court very properly informed him
that it was not the place for him to make
a speech. He then left the court room in
company with his counsel. The crowd
followed him as they would have follow
ed some curious monster, the females man
ifesting the greatest eagerness to get near
him. To escape the persistent attentions,
he entered the jail, and there took leave
of his comrades in imprisonment. But
the crowd waited outside, and when he
emerged, again followed him down Wash
ington street to the Portland block, where
he entered the office of Mr.. Van Amman,
one his counsel.
AS illustrative of the strange and I'M
accountable interest which females have
taken in this person, we may mention an
incident which occurred on the sidewalk,
near our office. One Of our compositors
was standing on the walk when the crowd
came along, following Jumpertz to Mr..
Van Arman's Office. One of the females,
woman, apparently between rs and 80
years old, approached him, directed his
attention to the object of her interest,
who was just then entering the building,
and asked him If he aoould not go up NTH
her to Van Arman's office, and give her
an introduction TO J,nnpertzl
Thus, after very long, laborious and
expensive investigation, involving two tri-

convicted and sentenced to be executed)

which remains rs much mystery to day

mains of Sophia Werner were discovered

study, in that direction has been Z" long

years of publicity as writer, do not
remember ever penning single line whose

poor taste. In this respect Mrs. B. may
have been moro fortunate than myself
If | have made any "ungentlenanly re-
Marks" am most sincerely sorry for
them; but must insist that they were not

She does herself injustice, to degree;
and, while she is happy in the possession
of "husband who is not jealous" hope
she will not think the admirers of her

ly listen to such sweeping criticisms
against her own productions. If fortune

JUMPERTZ ACQUITTED!

The Superior court was opened at 10
o'clock yesterday morning. Long before
that time the halls and corridors of the
courthouse were thronged with motley
and curious crowd of people, all betray-
ing the greatest anxiety to know what the
jury would do in the case of Henry Jump
ertz. Among the crowd, as on every
previous day of this protracted and often
sivo trial, were large numbers of women
young women and old women; plain
women and ugly women; well dressed
women and women in shabby habiiments /;
women of all shades, sizes, characters,
colors, habits and tongues-all manifest
ing an excited interest in the fate of n
man who, by own his confession, is per-
son whom all right thinking people must
regard with loathing and adherence.
The courtroom opened. In rushed
the eager crowd, helter-skelter, crowding,
pushing, showing, tumbling into the bench
es. In rushed the petticoated dowdies,
smashing, crashing, pulling, hauling, puff
ing, blowing with laborious efforts to OBJ
tain an eligible seat where the male OBJ
ject of their curiosity, interest, affection,
or whatever it may have been, could be
distinctly gazed upon. Never in days of
chivalry did knights in tournament at
tract a more eager throng of feminine hui
manity. Never did lusty bull, caparison-
ed for the encounter with brutal matadore,
receive moro ardent gazcs from voluptu-
Gus Castilian women, than the man
Jumpertz from the females who have
daily thronged the courthouse during his
trial.
The prisoner was then brought in.-

GRAND RIVER MINISTERIAL ASSOCI-
ALTON.

GRAND RIVER MINISTERIAL ASS0CI-
ALTON.
This Association is not UNCONVENTIONAL,
but is composed of all evangelical minis
ters in the Grand River Valley. 1t orig
mated thus:
Tho Synod of Michigan met in Sep
TENDER, at Ionia, at the same time that
the Congregational Ministerial Associa-
ton met at Grccnvile. Some ministers
of the Association, after their own meet
ings had closed, attended those of the
Synod, which was still in session, and be-
tween brethren of each denomination n
plan was formed to organize an undenom-
national Association for mutual improve
mcnt, before which sermons, essays, re-
views and exegeses of scri pture should be
delivered and freely criticised by the MEM
bers.
The first regular meeting was held on
Wednesday, the 14th inst, in the lecture
room of the Congregational Church, Grand
Rapids. Rev. Mr.. DAUGHERrY, NJ. Z.
minister, preached the sermon, from the
passage in XIV. John, Without me We can
do nothing" II was truly evangelical
discourse, well written and we'll delivered.
Rev. Mr.. SMITH gave review of Lands,
"On the Immortality of the Soul" which
was only Introductory to a course. 1t
was ably written, manifesting research
and thought Of no ordinary kind. Broth
rem GREELEY, BALLARD, and others, deliv-
cred written compositions; but rs we were
not present at the time, we can say moth
ing of their subject or character. The
meeting was pleasant and very instructive.
We were sorry to see only two ministers
present who reside out of Grand Rapids,
but hope il will not be so in the future.
The next meeting will be held in the M.
E. Church, Grand Rapids, in March next.

A SHOCKING AFFAIR.-A frightful oc-
currence took place in the town of Blooms
or, Montcalm CO., on Thursday the 18th
inst. At the raising of large barn, a
couple of small boys were playing with a
large broad axe, when one of them sug-
gcsted to his playmate to lay his head
on n block, and let him cut it off; which
was done, and the sharp heavy axe, in
stantly severed the head from the body
of the little fellow. Just Mt this instant
a large "bent" of the frame was poised,
mid air; but the men engaged in raising
it were so shocked at the sight, that they
let go their hold, when the huge timbers
with tremendous crash fell to the
ground, killing three men instantly.

guage:
I'VE are in favor of paying Spain a sufficient
consideration for the island and if she refuses to
negotiate on that basis, then we should act upon
that great fundamental principle Of selfpreserva-

them, aceH II not then lGe lciU kRow lchat course

Cuba, at once II ct armis What is he going
to do about that little force of tmenty-tour

that Spain has on ''the Island ?" We suppose
they would amount to a mere breakfast spell
before the 10000 soldiers composing the
standing army of the United States Per
haps our cotemporary is in favor, however,
of calling out the militia to assist the regu-
lars. 1t wouldn't cost much and the Treasu-
ry can well spare its surplus funds, thanks
to Mr. Buchanan's wonderful economy just
at this time. BY all means, let us 60 mme-
