FORTUNATE REscUE.-A little boy 81 years
of age, son of Samuel II. Cotton, who resides
in the outskirts of the city, at the Southwest
part, was missing on Thursday; and diligent
search made for him in the neighborhood prov
ing unsuccessful, messengers were dispatched
into the city, in the supposition that he had
strayed away, and probably been picked up
and detained till it could be ascertained where
he belonged. In the meantime, a man en-
ployed on the place was accosted by the
family dog, and, by significant motions and
gestures, conducted to a nook where the
snow had drifted in, during the winter,
and accumulated to considerable depth. 1t
had become soft and loose by the action of
the weather, and there the little fellow was
found He had widowed into the loose snow
till he had become so enveloped with it, as to
become chilled and unable to extricate himself
The dog had stayed by him faithfully till he
discovered the man at distance and went af-
ter him, to come to the rescue. When discov-
cred, the boy was soexhausted as hardly to be
able to speak, and but for this fortunate discov-
cry, must soon have persisted, as he was in a
place where no one would have thought of
looking for him.

FROM WASHINGTON.

an indictment found against Mr.. SickleS for kill
ing Key-Acqmttal of Mr.. Butte,7corth-An
extra session in August, &c.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Grand Jury
will tomorrow morning bring in an Indictment
against Mr.. Sickles for killing Mr.. Key. Be-
fore determining on this action to-day, they
unanimously acquitted Mr. Butterworth of any
and all participation in the affair Even Mr.
b. Ogle Taylor expressed his entire conviction
Of Mr.. Butterworth's innocence. This neces-
sarily relieved the Sickles case of its embar-
-rasment. The charge against Mr.. Butterworth
implied generalization, arrangement, and plot
on the part of Mr.. Sickles. The exculpation
of Mr.. Butterworth ignores all such implica-
ton, and leaves simple case of homicide under
provocation.
After this disposition of Mr.. Butterworth's
case, the Grand Jury freely expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Sickles had done as they
would have done under similar circumstances.
Yet, as the proceedings of their body were
secret, and the basis of their action could not
be laid before the public in an official form,
they deemed it proper, under all the circum-
stances, to afford an opportunity for public
investigation before the Court. They deemed
this alike due to the public and to Mr.. Sickles
After Mr.. Butterworth was informed of the
action Of the Grand Jury in his case, he visited
Mr.. Sickles in jail for the first time.
When the indictment comes in, Mr. Sickles'
counsel will demand an immediate trial, but
the District Attorney, understand, will ask a
postponement until Monday, to enable him to
nrenare for tho prosecution. The case VIII, no
doubt, be set for Monday.
1t is rumored, tonight, that an extra session
will be called for the Fourth Monday in August

MUSICAL.

1t will be seen by our advertising columns,
that the Mozart, Society will give a grand con-
cert on Fast Day evening, aided by the Boston
Mendefssohn Quintette Club. The selections
will be the best pieces from Haydens great
oratorio of the Creation, and the Twelfth
Mass" of Mozart. A great time is anticipated.
The musical entertainment of the Haymaker
was given for the third time, in Boston, with
great success, to full house, on Wednesday
evening, and will be repeated this evening.
The desire to hear these performances is so
great, that extra trains are run upon the rail
roads, to accommodate those who attend. We
shall have the opportunity to hear it here, next
week.
A Mrs Howard Paul has been giving imita-
tons of Mr.. Sims Reeves, in London, with
such perfect success, as to deceive even those
who are most familiar with that great tenor's
voice. We do not see why she could not fill
his place in the concert room.
In the absence of Italian Opera from London,
there is a perfect swarm of concerts taking place
ON every evening of the week, while the provin-
cial towns are having their fair share of the
same pleasant recreation, in concerts by the
first artists of the country; and most of the
vocal music on those nccasiene !. BY Isngllsil

MIR. s1CKLEs INDICTED.

A Washington Grand Jury hive brought in
an indictment against Hon. Daniel E. Sickles
They do not think him murderer; no, it is
simply "a case of homicide under provoca-
tion." But this is more than was generally
expected, and probably more than would have
been done, if the Grand Jury had taken up the
clse Immediately after the murder; for now
they do say murder in the Indicate, although
hey very carefully explain that they do not
mean it.
The attempt to win public sympathy to sup
port Mr.. Sickles has not been very successful.
The more his case is discussed, the more pub
lie feeling turns against him. 1t appears that
his own record is very black, that he himself
has been reckless violator of innocence a ia.
miliar of wantons, and a most intolerable Of
fence to chastity. He should have begun the
business of assassination by shooting himself
if the shooting of such offenders had become
necessary and justifiable. Nor is this ALL 1t
does not now appear that Mrs. Sickles had any
very strong claim to the services of an avenger
of innocence. She was evidently very will
ing anu persistent 'FlctlHl, not Wnit less
willing and wanton than the not-very-much-to
be-lamented Key himself. They were all cor
rupt; and the attempt to lift Mr.. Sickles out
of himself, and make him sublime as an ayen-
ger, might become ridiculous, but it could not
be successful.
The well being os society requires that
murder should Invariably be treated as
murder; but at Washington, the corruptest
place in the country, it is nearly impossible to
secure for ii such treatment Honorable gen.
uemen (they call tn, mseves "honorable")
may shoot or otherwise assassinate, Irish
walters, and other persons OF humble station,
without danger from the law. The law would
doubtless become very active and ferocious Il
the waiter should shoot one Of the honorable
scamps; but it was observed long ago that
circumstances alter cases" Mr.. Sickles bav.
ing assassinated an honorable" gentleman q,
his own rank and quality, tried for murder
meaning thereby "homicide under provoca
ton" but he il nowise likely To be convicted
His case has occupied public attention in
very unwholesome way; and it is likely /,
be unwhOlesome to the end.

"REMINISCENCES OF Mr. SIcKLEs.-The AL
bany correspondent of the Utica Herald has
the following
"The latest sensation has not passed away.
People still continue to talk about the murder
at Washington. To the honor of Albany, be
it said, that public sentiment here denounces
the shooting down of Mr. Key as cowardly
and brutal act. Let him that is without sin
cast the first stone Said friend to me, yes
terday-one who has known Daniel E. Sickles
almost from Notwithstanding less than
five years ago knew woman, young, beau
tiful, and confding. She was loved wife, and
happy, loving mother Though occupying
no exalted position, she had a manly, upright
husband, and pleasant home That woman
became a reluctant victim to the seducer's dew
ilish arts. Her child today is an alms-house
'boarder,' her husband a sot, and she degra-
ded outcast.

UNIFORMITY IN WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Although the effort made by our government
to induce England and other European nations
to unite upon a standard system of decimal
coinage failed of its object, we are glad to see
that bill has been introduced into the British
Parliament, providing that after the first ofJan-
uary, 1860, uniformity shall exist in the
method of selling agricultural produce, by
which grain, meal, flour, butter, and potatoes,
shall be sold on the decimal system ofweights,
viz by the pound avoirdupois, the score of 20
pounds, the GENITAL Of 100 pounds, and the ton
of 1000 pounds. In England, great variety of
measures are in daily use in the grain trade,
and wheat may be bought by the comb, by the
quarter, by the last, by the bushel, by the load,
by the sack, by the pound, by the stone,
fourteen pounds,) or by the dozen Stone
AS an illustration of the folly of retaining
the present system, or rather no system, Mr.
Muller of the Bank of England, says that the
liz pounds, instead of 100 lin the GENITAL, or
quintal,) causes five millions of useless figures
to be written every year, in nothing but in
voices, &C., of bonded tea and many of these
figures are results of useless calculation. An
English writer basing his calculation upon
these figures, supposes, that taking the whole
business of the country, fifty thousand millions
of useless figures are publicly written every
year in the United Kingdom, which could be
savedby the decimal system.-Boston Journal.

ANNIE LAUR1E.-"These two verses" SAYS
Mr.. Robert Chambers, (which are in style
wonderfully tender and chaste for their age,
were written by Mr.. Douglas, of Finnan,
upon Annie, one of the four daughters of Sir
Robert Laurie, first Baronet of Maxweton, by
his second wife, who was daughter of Rid
dell, of Minton. AS Sir Robert was created
baronet in the year 1875, it is probable that the
verses were composed about the end of the
seventeenth or the beginning of the eighteenth
century 1t is painful to record that, notwth-
standing the ardent and chivalrous affection
displayed by Mr.. Douglas in his poem, no did
not obtain the heroine fora wife, she was mar
ried to Mr. Ferguson, Of Cragarrech."
