CONVICTED OF MUIDER.-The case of Ma
ry Elliott charged with poisoning with strych-
nine her daughter-n-law, Ellen Elliott, has
been on trial several days at Machias. On
Saturday evening, the jury brought in YER
dict of guilty. 1t appeared from the evidence
that the prisoner resided with her son and his
wife, the deceased, at Jackson Brook. That
on the morning of the 18th of July the pris-
oner gave tumbler of warm toddy to the de-
ceased, who soon after complained of feeling
i'll and in a short time went into severe spasms
which rapidly succeeded each other with short
intervals. About noon the prisoner gave her
another tumbler OF the toddy, and at nearly
the same time powder which had been left
in the house by II Houlton physician. The
spasms increased in violence until o'clock,
when she died Expressions of hostility TO the
deceased Oh the part of the prisoner and a
statement before the Coroner's jury as to her
having strychnine in the house were also
shown.

THE CONSUMPTION ACT. - The practical
operation of the Conscription Act suggests
certain changes which will no doubt receive
the early attention of the next Congress. No
human sagacity could provide against all the
devices that would be used to evade the Act
neither could the effect it would have upon
existing army regulations be foreseen and
properly provided for.
There is no doubt il the examining sur
geons could have had larger discretionary pow
ers, at least one-third more men would have
been obtained in this State. The army regu-
lations are very definite in relation to certain
conditions of the system which would not at
feet the usefulness of the drafted man in the
position he would occupy. These slight disa-
bilities surgeons would not have considered
cause for exemption if they had not been
bound by the letter of the regulations.
1t is the prevailing impression that the COM
imitation fee will be stricken out, so that the
dr:ited man must go or furnish substitute.
Whatever changes may be made, they will be
In reference to obtaining larger proportion
of men. We hope such action will be taken
as that Names full quota may be obtained
before the time set by the President for draft
Ing 1t will undoubtedly be the last call let
1t be promptly responded to.

ExCURsioNs.-By Henry ID. Thoreau, Boston; Tick
nor & Fields, 1868. For sale in this city by Bailey
Noyes
Thoreau was one of the most remarkable
men of his time. He was endowed with high
moral and intellectual faculties and endeavor-
ed to live physically and morally up to his
highest idea of right He wished TO rebuke
the extravaganza of the age by living in the
most simple and natural manner possible.
Some think him mono-nanac in regard to
diet, exercise, air, dc, and that his course of
life, carried to the extent he carried it, does
not tend to increaseihappiness and longevity
we shall find no difficulty in inducing the ma
jority of the people to believe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was an intimate
friend and genial companion of Thor eau,
gives in this work, very interesting biograph-
ical sketch of the author, Who with all his I'M
social and misanthropic habits was one of the
noblest works OF God-an honest man.

New YORK, Oct. y.
If the enemy ever entertained any hopes OF
permanently cutting the lines of communiea-
ton by which the army of the Cumberland re-
ceves supplies, they must now be dssipated.
The Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. until
recently too shallow to be navigable by gun
boats, have risen very greatly, one of them not
less than twenty-five feet Admiral Porter
has taken advantage of the circumstance 70 60
with his squadron to points where he can rem
der essential service to the army.
The message which the President sent to
Gen. Meade last Saturday, deserves to be re-
corded as part of the history of the cam
paign now drawing to close. Mr.. Lincoln
told Gen. Meade that he must find and fight
the enemy at once; that if he won victory
he should have all the glory, but il he were
defeated lie himself would. as Commander-in-
Chief assume the responsibility.
The work OF apportioning the number OF
troops to be raised undsr the last csll of the
President amoug the several States and the
District of Columbia, has begun at the office
OF the Provost Marshal General. The States
thus far apportioned, and the number of men
to be raised by each is as follows: Maine I,
