OF Potter, the Murderer.

Marshall Potter, who murdered his aged
mother and two brothers, at Lee, Maine, to
get some money they had, has made the toll
lowing terrible confession:
l am guilty. came home about 10
o'clock Wednesday night; my mother was
up; she told me it was a fine time of night
to come home; one Of my brothers told me
] had been over to Mr. Hanscom's, and car
ried bottle of liquor with me; told him
that j had not been there; he told me that
had; | told him did not want any more
stuff from MIN, or something to that amount !;
he told me then that it did not keep still
L should go out doors | told him shouldn't t
go out; } went out into the other part of the
house and got shingle maui IAN instru-
ment made of hard wood, l2inches long and
six in width aud breadth, with handle
about a foot long in the end), with which
took the lives of them all; | went in and
struck Alexander with the shingle maui;
hit him in the face and on the head, and
struck him n number of times.
| then struck Oliver several times on the
head and face; they neither of them strug-
gled after struck them. Ny mother came
into the room and got hold OF me; swung
round and struck her with the maui, and she
fell she did not struggle. The candle was
sitting on the wood box by the side of the
stove; tipped it off the box into the box
of shavings; the shaving took fire, and |
did not try to put the fire out; then left
the house, and went ont round it; | staid
out there till it got pretty well afirej then
went over to Mr.. Hanscomb's, called him up,
and told him the house was burning and all
there was in it; he got up and he and
went over; when we got there the house
was pretty much burned through
killed Albert This nephew, boy ten years
oldl; killed them all think ! didn't
strike Albert on the head; struck him on
the side of the face with the maui; he didn't
struggle then; heard him make noise af-
forwards; he was lying on the bed but
don't know as he was asleep. don't know
how the shavings came in the box; they
were there before; mother was up and sit
ting by the stove when | came in; my two
brothers were in bed. We had some quar-
reling before, but nothing but words.

Important DeciAiun

A Philadelphia correspondent of the Ian
easter Union, of April 18th, says:
"One of the most extraordinary decisions
ever enunciated from the bench has Just
been promulgated by the Supreme Court of
this State, and the whole business commu-
nifty of this city stands aghast at the conse-
quences which must inevitably flow from il.
The case is so simple and compact that you
will have it all in small compass. Some
twelve years ago one Chapman sold to two
very estimable gentlemen of this city, Messrs.
Fell and Morris, two hundred shares of Buck
Mountain coal stock for which they paid
him in cash the price agreed on. Some
years after Chapmans DEATH the two sons
commenced suit in equity against Fell and
Morris to recover back from them the two
hundred shares of stock, alleging that the
same had been held in trust and that as the
trustee had not applied the proceeds of the
sale TO the uses OF the trust, but had con-
sumed them for his own individual wants,
the purchasers were, consequently, liable to
them for the full -alue of the stock. The
Court decided in favor of the defendants,
and the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme
Court.
Ii was here attempted 10 DC SHOWN that
the purchasers of the stock not only knew
that it was held in trust, but knew also that
the trustee was misapplying the proceeds.-
But on the latter point the evidence showed
that the heirs actually received the proceeds
of the sale. Yet, strange as it may appear,
the Court reversed the decision below, and
decreed the defendants, Fell aud Morris, to
pay back the full value of the stock, to-
gether with all dividends and interest on
the same, being more than the plaintiffs de-
manded. This decision has produced deep
alarm in the moneyed circles here, and must
! unsettle many large transactions long since
believed to be closed up. Ii establishes the
principle that the purchaser from trustee,
whether of stock, real estate or merchandise,
is bound, for his own safety, TO see that the
purchase money is honestly applied by the
trustee-a duty which few will trouble
themselves to undertake. Ii trust property
is to be governed by so strange doctrine as
this, its saleable value must be greatly de-
preciated in the estimation of all who dis
| like the purchase of a law suit.

Richmond Democracy have reduced the Oppo'

In 1855 the vote was, for the Know-NothinSs

Though we have lost the Delegates, whleh

the Opposition" vote and the increase of the

Joppa-1s Associations and its Flea,.

Mr.. Brooks. Of the New York Express, IS
travelling in the Holy Land. His tour has
awakened many pleasant associations, and
some things not quite as pleasant as associa-
tons, kept him awake. On arriving, after night
fall, at the gate of Jafta, the ancient Joppa. he
was refused admittancc, and was forced to 20
to sleeper ut least attempt it-whcrc he was.
How he succeeded, his W words will best ILL.,
form us:
had not slept an honr before I was walked
up BY ten hundred millions OF tlcaS, creeping,
walking all over me, from head to foot. Ten
hundred millions Of ilcas, | say; o fconrSe did
not count them. but if you doubt my veracity,
come count the sands of the desert or the sea.
Look at me-, look at my companions; flea bot
tomizcd from the crown of the head to the >olcs
of the boots, Sec us all g~yrating, gcSticula-
ting, manipulating. the most active, the most
indeiatigablc of human beings, for finger.
thumb, hand and toes. jumped up from my
bench bed, Of course, Us soon as discovered
INV innumcrahlc bcd-fcllowS, ond rushed far of
from the gate and the walls. The dogs then
began upon me, in banks and howlS, and the
rest of the night was consumed in thrashing
them with my Jordan Pilgrim stick, and in
gynnastic manipulations, the causes of which
you can guess.
After this not agreeable experience. We ought
not to expect a rosc-colorcd description Of the
city. Hear what he says:
Jaila, ,Toppa, Japho, lafa- we havcit Spclt all
these various wayS-iS believed to have existed
before the dclugc. and TO have been the city
where Naoh dwelt and built his ark. 1t was
the port whence Jonah embarked for TarShish,
when he was thrown overheard and swallowed
bv a whale. Here, too. Peter the Apostle raised
Tiabitha from the dead, and tarricd many days
in the house of "Sinmon. the tanner. And
it was here that while praying on the house
top he saw that strange vision Of clean and I'M
clean beasts and creeping things; and heard a
voice saying Rise, Peter, kill and cat." Du-
ring the Roman war it was burned, and S.00n
of its inhabitants killed. Napoleon entered 1t
with a French army in 1899, and carried the
city by storm. And here was the place, If
English history be correct, where Napoleon
massacred 1000 Romans, principally Alba
mans, who had surrendered to Eugene Beau
harn9is and Crosier, his aidcs-de-camp; and
here too where Napoleon poisoned his plague
stricken invalids to the number of four or five
