Brown in due course of time: | BATH, March 8, 1859 1 Dear Sir I received your challenge.

 We have seldom heard of a harder case than that of Mrs. Stout, of Rochester. the mother of Ira Stout the murderer, and of Mrs Little Since her son was executed an,t Der daughter imprisoned, she has been in an entirely destitute condition, and i at times it is said reduced to starvation. No one will employ her. or give her any kind uf work. She went out us a washer woman for a short time un der a fictitious name, but as soon as lie real name was known, she was at once dismissed. Proprie- tots of tenements will not have her en,nt, and turn her out of doors at once as soon as her name is ascertained. It seems hard thus to invert the der of things and visit the sins of the children up- their parents, but it is probable that the world : conceives the parent in some degree, accountable for the education that led the children to the crimes they have committed--H Hartford Cou5aat.

There is no doubt that Mir. Burlill Arnold of Centrevile, l., fell victim to his efforts to put down intcmperance. He had bitterly offended the whole class of liquor-dea'crs by prosecuting them under the provisions of the law, and some one in their interest, in revenge, took his life It is not probable that the immediate murderer will ever be detected but Arnclds death will always remain, a stain and q reproach upon a certain class of law breakers and the less guilty victims of the avarice of the liquor dealers in that community. Not half an hour before his death, he had refused to sign petition in favor of the release of liquor seller from prison. This was doubtless the signal for his immediate death. It may be stated fairly, calmly. and without any parade of language that Burrill Arnold was shot down in his own house in New England for his exertons in behalf of the cause of temperance!
 His funeral was very large and imposing one. All the Temperance Societies of the ntighborhood were in attendance, with delegates from the State Society. His immediate friends and neighhors took this opportunity to show their respect for the and the cause in which he died. It may prove true in his case, as in that of others, 1.-The blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the church We agi- tate Heaven ana eaftn 10 CatCn ana send to State Prison some miserable and needy horse thief and yet the base wretches who manufacture and vend at wholesale imitation liquors, have, (some of them) mpudence enough to show their faces in the vicin. ity of honest mon, and now and then find a boatcd outlaw of this stamp, rioting in ill-gotten gains, and mixing himself up with agricultural and other decent causes, as if he was of them. It is time that public opinion was brought to bear, hot and heavy, and with scathing drcctness upon these scholesae dealers in poisoned imitation -bran dies, ahd other cognate stuffs their very victims hate luathe aud curse, in their cups, the cold blooded misers who poison fcliow-bengs for prof 1 it. and rank lower in the scale of humanity than the public hangman who stranglcs his brethren for pay the one is necessary evil the other an un- mitigated nuisance, nauseous to the nostrls of God | and man.-Xasyord Couran

 Twas in the time when pearly flowers
 Expanded to the summer sun,
 And birds sang sweet in woodland bowers,
 And verdure smiled where streamlets run. A sweeter, fairer Flower than they,
 Pale, pale upon her death bed lay.
 No tender mothers watcbful care,
 No fathers fond and anxious love,
 Could their dear daughters health repair,
 Or Death stern, icy hand remove: No good physician's skill could save The lovely sufferer from the grave
 For angels bcckoned her away;
 She heard their sweet, enrapturing strains: ''I cannot stop; cannot stay r,g-
 A home for me in Heaven remains" heavenly smile her face o'erspread, And she was numbered with the dead. % z Thanks to her faithful Pastors zeal,
 Her soul was early ripe for heaven; For in the Sabbath School, the seal
 Of immortality was given. Ye loved companions weep no more, But seek like her fair Canaans shore. n. V. In sharon, 1st inst, Lucretia A. Butler daughter of Orrin and Anna Butler. aged 70 years In Footville; Wis.,, 18th ult, of consumption, Mir. Norman Austin, aged 74, formerly of Goshen.

Judge Russell in his speech at the dinner to the homeopatl,s.in in Boston, on Thursday evening, said
 You have all read in that excellent work. edited by Joseph Miller. the story of the poor huntsman who fired at a deer. and not hitting it gave as an excuse that he fired so as to hit it if it was deer and to miss it if it calf. So in homeopathy it is the pride of your theory and practice that if you pellets don't do great deal of good they never can do any harm. If you don't hit the disease you don't kill calf; therefore some of us are here.

fH After having the application of citizens of South Farms under consideration for three weeks a majority of the Committee on New Towns have cooperating the Town of '' Moriis.'' The Report was made in the Senate on Friday, and was to have been considered on Tuesday. minority report has also been made against the application. The vote has doubtless been taken in the Senate and possi- ply in the House but what the result is. we shall not have heard till after the publication of the Enquirer this week. Although we have the same wishes in relation to this application as the great mass of our citizens have not thought it proper to take sides ia the controversy editorially, and shall cheerfully submit to the result, whatever it may be. Of one thing, however, we do complain and that is, that the Committee did not make their report directly after hearing the evidence and argu- ments in the case. A Committee of the Legisla- ture has no more right to allow themselves to be the Committee Roon than have Jury to talk over cases in Conrt in public bar-room. In this case, however, we are assured, that members of the Con- mittee have been iobied with, day and night, by counsel, we'll by innumerable individuals act ing for and against the application. Such things should not be and we are not sure that Commit tees of the Legislature in the investigation of mat ters in which parties appear before them with sworn witnesses, should not themselves be sworn to keep their counsels, until they make their re- port to the Legislature.

The London Times disparages the battle of Mon tebelo, calling it tenth-rate victory. It says that the war will involve constant drain of men and money, with pitched battles and long selges' and this is perhaps what it will not long endure.
 The Times does not allude to the Emperor Napo- Icons views respecting the independence of Italy, but accuses him of having sold himself to the de- mon of military conquest. .@g
 In another article The Times alludes to designs on the part of the Viceroy of Egypt to take adyan tage of any disturbance which may arise in Turkey, fol the purpose of obtaining if not indepenence, at least large measure of authority It then goes on to say that the influence of France for the moment is supreme, but that England will allow of no tri- fling in this matter The slightest sign of dispo- siton to evade he treaty of 1840 it adds will bring upon the viceroy the whole weight of England s power. ss5s
