EgWe copy the following report OF muir
der trial at the Supreme Judicial Court now
in session at Machias, from the Union
The trial of Mary Elliot, of jackson Brook
charged with poisoning with strychnine, her
daughter in law, Ellen Elliot. closed on Sat
urday noon 1t appeared from the evidence
that the prisoner resided with her son and
his wife. the deceased That On the morn
ing Of the 10Th OF July. the prisoner gave
tumbler of warm toddy to the deceased. who
soon after complained Of feeling i'll and IN
short time went into sprsms which rapidly
succeeded each other with short intervals
About noon the prisoner gave her another
tumblcr of the toddy and at nearly the same
time powder which had been LETT in the
house by Houlton Physician. The spasms
increased in violence until six o 'cIocN waen
she died Expressions of hostility to the de-
ceased on the part OF the prisoner, ana
statement before the Coroner jury a. to her
having strychnnc in the house wers shown.
The theory Of the defence was that rs no
poison was found in the body, all the symp-
toms OF the decelse could be accounted tor
as those Of Tetanus Much of the case de-
PENDED upon the medical testimony which
was quite yoluminous The jury was out

The Political Problem.

1t must be confessed by all, that during
the first year and a half of the war, we rs n
nation did not comprehend the magnitude of
the struggle which we had commenced. The
rebels beat us on almost eve y battlefield
They found out all Of our plans OF action
and bafcd them. While we could learn
nothing of thar plans, They always out
Unanswered us In the North, while the war
was being thus prosecu ted, there grew up
strong pnrty to oppose the war and sympa-
thze with the South. Our own State, which
had given Lincoln more than twenty thou
sand majority, was reduced in It's majority to
six or seven thousand New York, strong
in elcctins the present Administration, we
lost by ten thousand majority. Everywhere
the foes Of the government seemed triumph
log or just ready tc triumph.
Gradually we came to understand the
problem We cane to see that the rebellion,
which was brought on by the desire to cs-
tablish firmly and perpetuatc She institution
of slavery, could not be put down by protect
ing this same Institution. Pr5-slavery men
in the North said make this an abolition
war and you drive out the border states and
you divide the people Of the free States"
But the administration changed its policy
The cepp5rheads tried to keep their promise
and divide the North. Yet the adminlstra
ton has a stronger support to-day than ever
before.
We are beginning to understand the g:cat
political probIctn. The border States are
firm in the Union. Kentucky is almost
unanimously nnconditionally Union. Mis-
souri, is Union and emancipation. Maryland
is nearly as gooi.
Nicksburg, Gettysburg and Por. Hudson
have helped u demonstrate the problem
Vermont, California and Maine elections
have also helped to demonstrate the problem.
Pennsy lyania, Oaio and Iowa election have
finished the demonstration. Abraham Lin
coin is sustained. The war Will be carried
on until rebellion is crushed out la Penn
sylvAnia Curtin is reelected by nearly o.
600 majority. In Ouio, Nalandigham is
beaten by 100 eco majority. In Iowa. the
Union majority is 20 600.
Is MT this good solution Of the problem
OF the President war policy.

TINS EoLcANos OF THE Moon PHOTOGRAPHY,
The largest rejecting telescope in America
has recently been perfected by DR.. Henry
Draper. after five years of continued labor.
It is Of sixteen inch aperture, and thirteen
feet focal length. With it a Photographic
picture of the moon has been taken on a
scale OF only seventy miles to the iRch,-
showing distinctly the immense ranges of
volcanic mouatains, and on one place what
are suppoted to be streams Of lava, extending
over esght inches on the picture-equivnlent
to en- actual extent of nearly six hundred
miles Of active volcanic operations. This in
dicates that our silver moon is not 81

direction of its justly celebrated Principal
4. c. lIcrrick.
lie is native Of this county, and his ut.
tainments as q scholar, aud ability and sue
cess as a teacher, are too well known to
need comment. Since his connection with
the school it has steadily advanced in num-
BEES interest aud discipline. After his re-
turn from his travels in the Fast, he entered
upon his duties with his accustomed persev-
erance and zeal, and has gathered around
him class of students, who for sound in
tegrity and persegering ministry ar, seldom
equaled.
Within the past year the number has
increased one hundred PER cent.
The discipline is mild but firm the motto
being, " do right and 60 thorough" \
careful supervision is exercised over each
pupil and he,bcney9lcnt heart of the Prin-
cipll seems to be full of interest for all his
students His social. genial nature finds .
way to every hear; and he has the confidence
of each. and yet holds the most perfect
command.
He p sscsscs the happy talent of turning
every occurrence to the advantage of the
school. He appeals to the higher principles
OF human nature and presents a high stand
ard OF character and scholarship before the
students. The school has the appearance of
a we'll regulated family in which the most
perfect hdrmoag prevails. where all are uni
ted by fratcrnal love.
This institution has sent the past year,
larger class to Wateryii;e Collcge than any
other in the state.
There is Literary Society connected with
the Academy, upon whose records are the
names of some ef the FIRST men Of our ma.
ton, among which is that OF our worthy

expected Saturday evening, Eth inst. was
POSTPONED On account of the rain. Rev. Mr..
Small gave nm address ON " The soldier as
seen on the field ana in the hospital sun
day evening in the Baptist Church. The
house WAS crowded. All felt at the close Of
the address that they bad spent two hours
most pleasantly and profitable aud that the
cause was worthy Of a liberal contribution.
Mr. Small stated at the outset that he had
not CONS prepared to lecture hut that he
had a story 10 tell Of what he had seen of
the soldiers He described infinitely the
condition Of the hospitals at st. Louis, and
said they were far superior to any other hos
pitfalls in the country lie gave most in.
tcrcsting account Of an interview With a
party OF "secesh " prisoners both male and
female. and illustrated the alject ignorance
OF the mass of Southern people upon tn.
real questions a: issue Tlc accounts Of the
Potomac army, Of its various movements,
were extremely entertaining
Mr.. Small believes that the idea that the
army makes men forget God and despIss his
service is incorrect. The account which
he gave of soldiers wotships was highly
gratifying. lie also shovel that the idea
that religious teachings and religious rrivil-
eses unfit men for fEhtin. is incorrect. HIS
description Of the con,rabands was truly
lIushahie. Mean and low as they ueecrslri-
" were. be could not blame them They
