THE GIFT BUsINEss-WHAr IsA LorrERy?-Yes-
terday in the Quarter Sessions the case of Thomas
+. Coryell, charged with setting up lottery for
the distribution of 'goods wares and merchan-
disc" was tried. The articles advertised to be
distributed to the purchasers at Mr.. Coryell's
store consisted of gold and silver watches chains
shirt studs, breastpins, sewing machines &C.
MIR. John w. Ulrick, the prosecutor, testified
that on the End of July, in answer to an advertise
ment TOR agents, be visited Mr.. Coryes store, but
was informed that the situations we're filed While
in the store the witness read the circular, setting
forth that, by the purchase of box of tooth
powder or indelible ink, at twenty-five cents per
box, certificate would be given which would
entitle the holder, upon the payment of dollar to
one OF the articles which would be mentioned in
the body OF the certificate. Mr. Urick decided to
"trv bis hand" He first desired Mr.. Coryell to
sell him certificate, but this was refused and
finally Mr.. Ulrick bought bottle of ink, and then
Mr.. Goryell presented number of envelopes, and
Mr.. Ulrlck received a certificate emitting the
holder, upon the payment of one dollar, to set of
jewelry worth twelve dollars. The envelope was
drawn by Mr.. Coryell. The witness left the store,
and the next morning, in company with bis wife,
he came back, and instead of the Sl2 SET the ladv
selected set marked SO.
The commonwealth next proposed to show the
value OF the set drawn by Mrs. Ulrck, but the
counsel for the defence contended that the value of
the articles had nothing to do with making out
the charge of opening a lottery. If the article was
worth less than nine dollars, then the defendant
could be indicted for offence, but not for open
ing of lottery
Judge Allison ruled the evidence out as the only
ques ion before the Court was whether the defend
ant had set up lottery.
lhls closed the case for the present and the de-
fence called witness who was present when Mr.
Urick came to Mr.. C.'s store and he testified that
when MIR. U. wished to buy the certificate, Mr.. c.
refused, as that would not be honest but be told
him if he bought the ink he would give the certi-
fcate.
In the argument, Mr.. F. c. Brewster, one of the
counsel, urged that in lottery a man pays his
money hSf"~o he GetO tho nrtolo, While in tbio
the customer had the opportunity of paving or not
paving his money, just as he chose.
Judge Allison, in charging the jury, said he was
not prepared to express a very decided opinion in
regard to the question whether this would consti-
tute lottery or not His present impression was
against the proposition that it would; but the ques.
ton should have more careful consideration than
was possible in trial like this The jury should
therefore, take the case as one of fact, and he
charged them that the drawing of the certificate
by the defendant himself would not relieve him
from the charge OF maintaining lottery, if such
should be his business and for the purposes of this
case 1t the jury believed the evidence they would
be justified in cOnvicting.
The jury did convict, and motion for a new
trial aud an arrest of Judgment was entertained
and before full bench the point will be argued

TRAGEDY IN RIcHMoND-A You've WOMAN KILLED
BY HER BROTHER-IN-LAw.-In Richmond, Va, on
Wednesday, Miss Catharine j. Thorn was shot and
seriously wounded by her brother-in- law, VIM. d.
Totty Miss Thom, it is said suffered the most ex-
cruciating pain for several hours after she was shot,
and died of her injuries that night between the
hours of IL and II O'clock. On Thursday morning
Justice King held an inquest over the body, when
the following facts were ELECTED:
For some time previous to the shooting, Totty
and William Thoms family, with whom he
lived, had had frequent spats and on the very day
before the murder Tbom had forbid him the house,
and Totty was seen to have pistol, with which he
said he intended to shoot the old man, at the same
time calling him hard Names On the morning of
the murder, between the hours of and o'clock
Miss c. j. Thorn, Mrs. Elizabeth Adams and child
and young man named Pleasant Orange, went
into the kitchen, and the ladies took seats at the
breakfast table. They had been sitting there but
NJ -.
between them. Miss Thorn asked him to have
breakfast He declined, and asked her if she would
go away with him. She replied that che would
not lie then drew two pistols from his pockets
and placed them on the table, and on her again de-
clining leave home with him. he told her to take
of the pistols and shoot him. and that he would
shoot her with the other. She told him not to be
so FOOLISH and on seeing him pick up the pistols and
aim one OF them at her, she attempted to seize it,
at which he fired, the ball entering her stomach
about three inches above the navel, and passing
through her, lodging in the muscles of the back
near the spinal column, from which place it
soon after removed by DIR. Lewis. Totty then fled,
and had not been arrested yesterday morning.
Miss Thorn stated to DR.. Lewis that Totty shot
her. She said there had been trouble-that he had
been trying for three weeks to induce her to go
away with him, but that she had steadily refused
to do so-that he told her he would kill her if she
did not go-and that Mrs. Adams knew the fact
She said he to the fence on Tuesday night and
repeated the proposition and the threat.
The jury after hearing such facts as were stated
by the dying woman to DR.. Lewis, and such as they
could draw from Mrs. Adams and Pleasant Orange,
by questions, rendered verdict that the deceased
came to her death by wound feloniousy inflicted
with pistol, by William d. Totty, on the morn
ing of the 18th of July, of which wound she died
that night
1t was reported to members of the jury that
Totty was seen, the evening before, but short
distance from Thoms house, and that he was then
in or near the neighbor hood of his crime.
RUMoRED INTENTION OF SoULoUQUE TO INVADE
HAYrI.-The Revue de Commerce, of June 30th,
contains statement to the effect that the Emperor
Sououque, in his exile at Kingston, Jamaica, has
become SO excited by the news of the triump phal
tour OF President Geffrard, that he is endeavorng
to get fleet tnge her to return to Hayti again
to his sway. Vii Lubin and Addison, Soulouques
Prime Ministers, charged with the execution OF the
project, had already obtained schooner, but were
nnahla do anpthins fn thar -Whnn Snnlnnane
left yti, he said he would return in three months
but now he says, with singular frankness, that
he has allowed a longer time to elapse, that the
recollection of his cruelties may be weakened. 1t
is expected that Soulouque will publish, before his
arrival at Hayti, proclamation offering general
amnesty. The friends of the republican govern
ment do not apprehend any danger from the old
mans attempts, but still think it well to be on
their guard. rta
FRoM HAvANA.-By the arrival of the United
States mail steamship De Soto, at New York, we
have New Orleans dates to July II, and news from
Havana to the 18th inst. rr
At Havana the weather was hot but few cases
of yellow fever were occurring, and those not of
malignant type. The city was considered much
more healthy than for several years past. There
was very little business doing except in sugar.
Several vessels in the harbnr were loading with
that article for the United States and Europe.
Freights remained active, with numerous arri-
walls during the past week. .s- "a.
