came to see how the work progressed. The
old man stood by, smoking short pipe, as the
reverend gentleman ran his eye over the Ia

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Burch Divorce Case.


NAPTBRvuIE, LII, November 30.-Thurs-
days proceedings elected nothing new or
interesting.
During the trial to-day the following
letter, from Burch to Erastus Corning, was
read
"My Dear Uncle: am in the deepest
atiictioni my wife has played false with me.
She has committed an awful offense, which
consigns her forever to hell. You must
come here at once and take care of her she
may stay under my roof but separate FROM
me, until you have time to come here. David
Stuart has debauched her repeatedly, and
she confesses it. Oh, for Gods sake, hurry
out. Telegraph me when you will arrive.
1t seems shall die before you arrive
In another letter to Mr.. Pruyn, Burch saws
be frequently warned Mrs. Bureh of the
danger of associating with Stuart. He also
recounts, with great length, the different
crimes of Mrs. Burch. He said she was the
smartest woman for mischief he ever saw,
and be considers she has a wofulIy depr8ved
heart. He warns her friends not to trust
her, even if she should repent He says he
felt the sustaining power of God in the
prosecution of the task he had to perform
in bringing about the final disclosures.
AT the opening of the afternoon session
David Stuart appeared in Court for the first
time; when Mrs. Burch entered they mutu-
ally recognized each other in friendly, un-
embarrassed manner.
David Stuart being sworn, gave a lengthy
account of the progress Of his acquaintance
| with Mrs. Burch. On being asked if he ever
had criminal intercourse with Mrs. Burch ne
replied, "Never so help me God, at any
time or any place on earth, or any act ever
approaching any thing like it."
His whole testimony was denial of the
statements made by other witnesses tending
to criminate him with Mrs. Burch.

Barney Williams the successful burlesque of
Prince DoloToso and AH Hdlloi0 Zee, with a
langhable sfterpiece, win be presented; these
astral Hibernians appearing in the first two
mentioned pieces. They will no doubt
make their farewell obeisance to a large au-
dience as they usually-whateyer opinion
recherche critics may have Of their merits
manage to draw remuneTative audiences.
The dancing of the Gale sisters, by-the-
by, seems better every time we see It. They
are graceful and very clever Grtistes, and
their style is chaste, elegant and attractive.
They are rapidly gaining in public favor as
they deserve to do, and we are pleased TO
note the fact of their appreciation.
NATIONAL THsATER.-Annette Ince's per-
sonation of the Countess last evening was
quite creditabe and well received by fair
audience. This evening LiIerezia BoTgia and
the beautiful domestic drama of Madeleine
will be given, with Miss Ince In the leading
parts. This is an attractive programme, and
will evince the lady's capacity for the tragic
and the tender to an unusual degree.

ceased, had fight at the Coke Oven, in the
vicinity of Smith and Front streets; the
prisoner, who was the smaller man, got
knocked down and was kicked in the head.
The parties were then separated, and all
seemed quiet for about ten minutes, when
the prisoner went aside, brought back a
shovel, and struck the deceased blow in
the head which knocked him down, and
then struck him four or five times again.
The deceased was taken to the station-house
that night, and on the following morning
was removed to the Commercial Hospital,
where he died on the 4th of March-some
three days after the injury was inflicted.
The State abandoned the charge of murder
in the first or second degree, and claimed a
conviction only for manslaughter and the
defense admitted that the crime of man
slaughter was made out.
Judge Carter instructed the jury to exam
inc the testimony and return such verdict as
they conceived the evidence established in
view of the law (Which he stated to them
defining the various grades of homicide.
The Jury brought in verdict of man
slaughter after about an hours delibera'
