Ills couns, again moved an adjourn
ment till counsel could arrive aud witnesses
be obtained, but the court declined, and the
town was greatly excited and arc in the
constant fear of rescue, and the guard
was increased around the Jail. o.-,
On Saturday, Henry Griswold of Ohio,
and Samuel Chiffon of Washington, arrived
as counsel for Brown, and the military
Guard was ogain increased The COW
ardice of the court and people is becoming
ludicrous in the extreme, and shows the
volcano on which shareholders live.
On Monday the counsel argued the case,
on both sides, and the jury after being out
about half an hour returned a verdict of
/" Guilty of treason. Of advising aud con-
spring with slaves and others to rebel, and
of murder in the first degree"
Thus the matter stands, and old Brown
will probably be hung in a week or two,
Ills trial has been mere farce. He has
had no opportunity to make adefence. The
shareholders are frightened and have too
much cowardice TO perait it.

LIGHTNING-RoDs.-Joseph TAFT Of Lee
County, Iowa, wants to know whether
lightning-rods are of any use? He "think
The Tribune must know" Yes, and 20
would Mr.. TAFT, if he had read it attentive
ly. Mr.. TAFT says: "On Sunday Sept Is
my house was struck with lightning, ihs
''dog killed, and myself aud six little Tafs
"sent sprawling over the floor. The light
ming seems to have come down the rcd
"and left il about six feet above the ground
sand punched hole in the cellar wall, sri
'after doing sundry damages, went out
"the cellar window. This knocked lie
afaith gu, Of me about lightning-rods.'
A hundred, at least, of just such ease
have come TO our knowledge, and We d
not believe that one lightning-rod in /,
thousand is of any more use as a protector
of the building, than the nails which hold
ON the singles.
Did it never occur TO the minds Of aaSO-
Gates for lightning-rods, that the heads Q
all nails, while new and bright, are just q
the points of their rods to attract electhd
/ ty? 1t is barely possible that rod Ea
made, well insulated, and well set 10 ID
ground, may serve TO conduct a portion 4
the electricity above the house to TIL
ground, should there be no great excess d
it in the atmosphere but whenever the,
is enough to produce an explosion, it viii
probably produce just such results as NJ
TAFT describes-the dog will be killed, and
'things knocked about promiscuously
If the readers of the Tri5aae think We
are mistaken, they will continue to iuyes
the cost Of "a protector" with the first light
ning-rod peddler that comes along @woh
ing upon the fears of the women folks

VIM. Palmer of Guildhall, recently gave
Charles Bellows of Northumberland, N
H., a severe Gaming for the a'ledged en-
ticing away of Palmer's daughter, girl OF
some fifteen years, TO house of ill-tame,
by Bellows, and there meeting her.
Bears hevc been pretty plenty in Guild

quite troublesome to the farmers, killing
sheep, &C., one large buck being killed by
bruin within six rods of the dwelling -honse.
The number of visitors TO Mansfield
Mountair the past season, has been so
great that the summit house erected in
1858, has been found too small to accomo-
date them, and its proprietor, w. II. II.
Bingham, Esq, has already contracted for
the building of an addition 10 it, at an ex-
pense of $500, to be in readiness by the
LIST of June, 1860.
A new military company has just been
formed at Thetford and they were drilled
by Col. Jackman on Saturday last.
On the 18th ult., Capt, Dan1 IIazen, fell
from an apple tree, fracturing the feniur
within an inch and half of the hip joint
The bones were put in place and he is do
ing well. For man of his age-seventy
yearS-it was serious accident.
On the evening of the 18th ult., an at
tempt was made by some scamps to force
an enterance into back window of the
house of Mr.. Noble, on the opposite side
of the river, about One-half mile from the
village; Mr.. N. being absent and his wife
in the house alone. She Immediately blew
horn, the loud reverberations of which
gave fright to the rascals who fled in sea-
son to escape detection, just as some of the
neighbors came to the rescue.

FOREIGN IrENs.-The English papers
record a case of fatal vengeance inflicted
by turkey cock. A child Of Mr.. Fin

young turkies with stick, and on subse-
quent day when he was in the yard alone.

Tie NeW Churches IN Vest Wtudsor.-
A highly respectable correspondent in
Brownsville, dislikes the term opposition"
which we applied to the second church now
being built in that place. He says, 'op-
position when applied to house of pub
lie worship,is derogatory; more so than
when applied to other things" Very well;
we cheerfully make the correction, as we
certainly would not speak of any religious
body, or Of their house Of worship in any
other but respectable manner. We used
the term opposition as it was used to us,
when we recently passed through that place,
by two or three different persons, one of
whom was a workman on the building.
We had supposed ii was built by all sorts of
folks, sometimes called The worlds peo-
ple,' but our correspondent says it is built
by the =" West Windsor Religious Associa-
ton, organized under a legal constitution.
The second new church, therefore, is built
by Baptsts and other people, and we pre-
sumo the Methodist church is built in the
same way, and we trust that both may
prosper, and'th true Christian life may be
increased among the good people of West
Windsor, in proportion TO their increased
facilities of worship.
In conclusion, if we have got our excel.
lent neighber Of the Windsor Journal into
a scrape, we sllall let him slide," as lie is SC
abundantly able TO take care of himself
We are always looking out for an item"
that's our bread and butter-and hope
we may find more of them among our
friends in Brownsville.

To THE BENEvoLENr.-Mrs.J r.
Thompson and Mr.. John Newly, persons
OF color, are now travelling in this State
aud holding meetings TO raise means TO aid
Sir. N inshis efforts TO procure an edu-
cation as a civil engineer and surveyor.
He is an intelligent gentleman, and has al
ready acquired the French and German
languages. If he can raise funds to get to
France, his friends there offer him a eratu-
ltous education after his arrival. and on ar
count OF the prejudice against his color, it
~oold De OF no use for him to seek any
such position here. Mrs. Thompson is she
that was Julia f. Sharp, who some wears
since gave concerts in this State. and there
by succeeded in raising funds with which
she bought her husband from slavery. We
commend them to favorable consideration.

FIRE IN NORTH SPRINGfIELD.-A fire
occurred on Monday evening, about one
mile above North Springfield, destroying
the new house of Mr.. John White, which
was recently completed and unoccupied.
The barns and out buildings were greatly
endangered and were saved by great exer-
ton on the part of the few that congregated,
there being no water in the vicinity. Mr..
Whites loss is some $500 or 5000, with no
insurance. Ii has been ascerained that il
was kinded by a fellow partially insane, by
the name of Roberts. He says that he
wanted to see big fire, not having seen
one for long time. He has heretofore,
been considered perfectly harmless, but will
now be confined TO prevent the repetition
of his " big fire entertainment.

CAUTION TO MorHERs.-The Windsor
Journal records a shocking affair which
occurred at Plainfield Y. H., on Monday
of last week, by which the lives of two
small children, one aged three, and the
other from one TO two years, belonging TO
Dennis Alexander, were sacrificed. While
the father was absent at work. the mother
wishing to visit ne;ghbor, after having
put out the fire. as she supposed, fastent d
up the house, in which were the two chilli
rem. But they got at the matches and up-
on the bed, setting fire TO it. A neigbbor
discovering the smoke issuing from the
window rushed 10 the primises, but sad to
relate, the garments Of one of the little
sufferers were completely burned of. and
the other nearly SC, the bed nearly burned
up. One Of the children survived only
about three hours. willie the other lived
about forty-eight hours We hope hi,
may serve as a lasting warning TO parents
nevert to fasten up their clildren in the
house and also, to keep matches out Of
the reach of children.
