1t may safely be affirmed that if John
II. Surratt be not found guilty of the
charge preferred against him it will not be
the fault of Judge Fisher. His Honor
rules out whatever Surratt'S counsel offer
in his behalf if there be any sort of legal
reason for so doing, notwithstanding that
he allowed the prosecution to prove all
manner of things not at all involving the
guilt of the defendant.
We understand that a man by the name
Of Lawrence, who is now in custody, has
confessed to the murder OF Lucy Prewett.
He says he was inStigated TO the deed by
another woman in the neighborhood. Our

was committed on last Saturday night,
near Mtchell's mill, in this county.-Ddn-

NEEDED TNvENTroSs.--Thc report comes
from Europe that some genius has at last
met tho want Of civilization by invcnting
model hat--a something as elegant as
the stovo-pipc pattern, ~ light as straw,
and as comfortable as kossuth.
Notwithstanding the triumphs Of skill
in the nineteenth century, many practical
Inventions arc still urgently demanded.
Tho art OF ballooning seems to make no
progress. There ought to be method de-
viScd of using steam on common roads.
Some cheaper material and process for
making paper is the great want of the age.
and if realized would give mighty i'm
pulse to civilization. The heating and
cooking of our houses ought to be done by
one and the same apparatus. There is
need Of something that shall be as conve-
nient as pencil, and as legible and dura-
bic in its traciDgs as those of pen and ink !;
there is demand for unquestionable
water-tisht backing; and there ought to
be boot which should have some distant
resemblance to the human foot, and yet
comely to the eye, and comfortable. Dos
Ton Joundl.
And q material as a substitute for
leather. 1t is poor compliment to man,
says distinguished writer, that in order
to have pair Of boots he must kill cow.
