VERDICT OF THE JURY in TIE Penn
BERTON MILL CALAMITY.

LAWRENCE, (Mass., Feb 3.-Theiurv of in
quest on the Pemberton mill calamitf rendered
their verdict last evening. L; is quite lengthy,
embracing careful revIew OF the +stinoDv.
The jury find that, from all the evidence ad-
duced before them, they 90 not believe that the
owners OF said mill, at the time of the denoli-
ton, ever doubted lis security. The kfy fur
ther find that fire originating after the fall OF
sand mill was caused by the accidental breaking
OF a lantern il The hands OF some personto.them
unknown, and at the time actually engaged IN
aiding and removing The sufferers thea alive
and beneath the ruins Of the mill. They also
find that the causes of the de5noition'ofthe mill
lay in the thinness OF the brick walls and their
manner Of construction, and in the length of
space from one support to another. For the de-
tects IN the cast-iron supports, the jury find
that the responsibility rests upon Albert Fuller,
former constructing agent and foreman of the
Eagle lroa Company in West Boston. Charles
L. Blgelow, the architect, and the superinten-
dent, are held responsible for the test Of the
pillars and Tor any defects in the building.

THE TRAITOR REWARDED.

JOHN W. FoRNEY, the blacklist and foulest
traitor that ever apostatised from the Demo-
cratic party, has jest received the thirty pieces
OF silver for which he agreed, two years ago,
to sell out the party that nursed him and raised
him to position of responsibility. People can
now see why it was that Mr.. Forney has been
50 persistent in his slanderous abuse of Dem
ocratic President. His vili6cations of Mr.
Buchanan, was the price he was required to
pay to the Black Republicans for the ClerkshIp
to Congress, to which he has just been elected
by bis newly found friends. This places Mr..
Forney clearly and incontrovertibly IN the
ranks of the Opposition. We hope he may
stay there, never to return.

Trial Of SteDIlenS.

THE TRIAL CoNCLUDED-vERDICT OF THE JURY.
CnARLEsTowN, Feb. 4.-The trial of An
drew Stephens, charged with treason, murder
and conspiracy, was concluded to day.
No new evidence was adduced
The speeches OF the counsel were mostly Of
political character, discussing the present posi-
ton OF the question between the North and
South.
The Commonwealth made proposition to
submit the case without argument, but it was
declined bv the counsel for the defence, who
desired to be heard for his client.
MIR. Harding made the opening argument--
He denounced as a falsenood and a libel the
assertion Of Brown that he was to receive aid
from the Ia5oring classes at Harper's Ferry
IIe claimed that they We're true 10 the Con-
stllRtlon and the State Of Virginia, and referred
to their acton in assisting to queii the invasion
as proof their fidelity. He concluded with
an earnest appeal to the jury to vindcate the
law, styling the prisoner bIoodlhirsty villain
and wretch, and worse even than his master,
John Blown.
Mr.. Sennot for the defence made an able and
eloquent speech, going into detailed narrative
Of the rise and progress ofthe Republican party,
and closing with an earnest appeal 10 the Jury 10
spare the life Of the prisoner.
Mr.. Andrew Hunter closed on the part Of
the Commonwealth. He replied to The argu-
ments Of that counsel for the defence with tell
ing effect. IL had no confidence IN the Union
meetings whica had been held in the NORTH
| EIe believed that this iavasion Of John Brown
hai oeen a benefit TO the South, as it bad shown
them toe position in which they we're placed.
| eighteen millions Of freemen Of the North, and
declared the South was prepared for any
| emergency.
The case was submitted the jury at I o.
/ cocl; this Saturday. afternoon, they retired,
aud after fifteen minutes absence, returned
with verdict guilty on all the counts o
the Indictment.
Ths PrIsoner received the verdict with most
perfect indifference, and even appeared t.
smile at the announcement.

A WARNING TO YOUNG MEv.-In nearly all
the large towns ard cities, young men form
themselves into clubs, o. various kinds, to ena-
ole them 10 pass away the hours Of the loo-
winter evenings socially and PLEASANTLY. They
are, many of them, among strangers, far away
from the home circle, and the pleasant associa-
uoos which gather around the beaJthstone Of
their childhood. and they find It difficult to get
into society. Their time, after the business
hours OF the day are past, drags heavily, and
they are ready 10 take up with almost anything
that offers itself in toe shape Of amusement or
recreation. A club of jolly good fellows has
many attractions under these circumstances
Whilst we would not DO anything to cuFtail the
real enjoyments of the young, especially under
such circumstances as we have detailed above,
We would VAIN them against those which are
injurious TO either soul or body.
IA old merchant related in our hearing, a
few evenings since, his own experience and OBJ
seyvation in regard to this matter. When he
left home to 90 into business in the city, he felt
lonely in the evenings, and loaged for conpan-
lonshp. he was diaiiieDt, and had no iniuen-
tial friends 10 take him by the hand and intro
duce him into society. A friend invited him to
join a social club. They spent their time ~
song and jest, eating and drinking aud general
iollty. lie kept list of all who belonged to
the dub during his connection with it, and has
traced their histories since. OF forty-nine, but
three now remain, enjoying a green old age.
Most Of the others Went to early graves the
victims Of intemperance. Very few of them
were ever successful in business, though some
o: them were young men OF fine business capa-
city Our venerable friend thinks t6e seeds OF
thpir] ruin were sown in the club-room. He
said, with great emphasis, had | an iron voice
which | could ring through our whole country
would say to every young man, beware of the
| cub-room, and especially the room Of drink
ing club. Many young man is ruined there
before he is aware Of his DANCE .-PREsBYrE-

has, very properly, vetoed bill passed by the
Legislature ofthat Territory for the aboiijila
Of slavery therein. It's an agreed point, with

school teacher in the German district of Board

and brutaIly beating young woman Of some
eighteen summers, without Just cause or reason.
From the testimony elicted in the case, we
learn the circumstances to be- as follows On
Friday, the l4.h ,rst., the young lady, some
time during school hours, desired of the teacher
leave Of absence for short time, ayerriug it ex-
tremely necessary tha, she should 20 home at
that time. The teacher demanded an excuse.
which the young lady refused 10 give, further
than that it was absolutely necessary. The
teacher refused, and the young lady, knowing
her own business probably better than the wise
teacher, went home without bis consent. Du-
ring the course of the day she returned, and up
on entering the school room was Immediately
accosted by the teacher tor an excuse OF absence
which she as before refused whereupon the
teacher drew forth heavy CAD, I'VE say CAD,
because it SO much resembled an ox-gad in di-
menslons, and form that we cannot properly
apply 10 it any other name,) aud at once fell to
work and beat her until the CAD was broken to
pieces and, not beng satisfied with this,
struck her once or twice in the face with his
fist or bis open hand. The teacher was held to
