CRIMINAL TRIAL IN NELSON.
Trial Of Wood ter the Killing OF Driscoll.

The reader will remember the case VI
the murder of J. c. Driscoll by Iacha',a'
G. Wood, at New Market, Nelson Cum.
on the James River canal, on the IN -
December last. The testimony In 'he
case was published in the D'Spd'cn upon
the occasion Of the trial before the Exam'-
n;no Court Wood shot Driscoll upon sus-
n;cion of adultery with bis wife. Inc
evidence In the case, although aftordine
strong grounds Of suspicion of guilt OF the
deceased, yet presented nothing POSITIVE.
The accused was sent on 10 the 0ircui'
Court of Nelson, and his trial came OH on
Tuesday last at Lovingstop, the county
seat. before Judge Shelley. The accused
admitted the killing of Drlscoll, aud based
his defence upon criminal intimacy with
his wife. The testimony was nearly the
same with that elected at the examina-
ton. 1t was slightly stronger for the ac-
cused, but still did not bring out any posi-
tive proof. The declarations of the ac-
cused made cotemporaneously with and
after the killing were ruled out by the
court.
The testimony was given in on Tuesday
and the argument of counsel occupied the
whole of Wednesday and Thursday after
which the Judge charged the jury and
gave the case to them. They did not
agree upon verdict until Saturday at II
O'Clock, when they found the accused
guilty of murder in the second degree, and
fixed his imprisonment in the penitentiary
at five years. ;,
The case was most ingeniously and ably
arpued. For the Commonwealth, Robert
Whitehead, States Attorney; for the &C
cused, Mcssrs. William NJ. Cabell, J. ii.
McCue, Camm Patteson, and Alexander
Fitzpatrick. 1t will be considered no IN
vidious distinction to pay compliment to
Mr.. Patteson, since he has so recently
come to the bar, and appeared in this cause
amongst counsel of experience and extern
sive reputation. Mr.. p. acquitted himself
in an able manner, and made fine impress
sion upon the court and all present.
The prisoner, it was evident, had the
public sympathy very much in his favor.

A VALUABLE DOCUMENT, FOR WHICH An
Owxrp Is WANTED.-There is now lying
ON our table piece Of parchment IN the
form of a charter for q Masonic Lodge
which was issued over ninety-two years
ago II il still quite perfect and legible,
and every word contained therein may oe
read. ,o,, r
This charter was issued on the 18th OF
April, 1775, just six days before the battle
of Lexington, by Joseph Montfort, Esq, OF
Halifax, n. c., to John Crawford, Joel
Sturdevant, Sr., and William Simmons,
Jr., and several other brethren residing
near Cabin Point, Surry county, Colony OF
Virginia, who are constituted a regular
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, to
be opened at Cabin Point, and to be known
by the name of "The Cabin Point Royal
Arch Lodge" -, ,
In this charter Mr.. Montfort states that
Whereas His Grace, Henry Somerset,
Duke of Beaufort, and Grand Master of
the most Ancient and Honorable Society
of Free and Accepted Masons, hath been
graciously pleased 10y patent dated the
January 14th, Ammo Latomorrum 577l,
Ammo d. III, of London,) to constitute
me Provincial Grand Master of and for
America, with full power, &C."
The question will naturally be asked,
" How came this document in Rochester %
That can be readily answered. During
the late war, when Virginia was occupied
by Federal soldiers, some one of them
picked up this parchment and brought it
North. After passing from hand to hand it
oon,e into the nosseSsion of Mr. John Nc
Elhenny, contractor. He holds it subject
to the order of its proper custodans, if
they can be found, and would be very
happy to restore it to its rightlul owners.
If the Virginia papers will notice the fact
that the charter is here, it may lead to its
restoration. Rochester advertiser.

coffin and It's head on the pillow. Then
the dead children awoke and asked Christ
If there was no God. Jesus answered,
1--WE are all orphans-I and you are with
out father Then oil the dead shricked
in their collins, the church split open, and
with the children sank down, and the i'm
measurable universe rushed past. And
when Christ beheld the worlds grind to-
gether, and the coral banks Of bleeding
hearts, and the rivers of souls pour into
the sea of death, He lifted up His eyes to
immensely and asked for the bosom OF
His Father, where He might rest. Then
the great Serpent of Eternity coiled her
rings around the worlds and crushed them
together, when bell hammer, stretching
out to Infnity, was about to strike the
last hour of Time and to split the uni
verse asunder."

OH Be not the First.

Oh be not the first to discover
4 blot on the tame OF a friend,
A flaw in the faith of lover
Whose heart may prove true in the end
We none Of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall:
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or rspeak not about him at all.
A smile or sigh may awaken
suspicion most false and lnduei
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true
How often the light smile of gladness.
Is worn by the friend that we meet,
To cover soul full of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of detection.
Is heaved from the hypocrites' breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion.
hnd small ones to trace our defects
Let ours be q nobler ambition,
For base is the mind that suspects.
WeDone of US knew one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let us speak well of our brother,

of the peculiar logic Of an opponent.
The speaker said, few years age he

who was q regular attendant at

learning. He was saving wood one
day while his masters son, lad of
twelve years old, was looking on, and
now and then asking questions
(which of the apostles does you
like the best?" asked Ephe. "Well

strong and piled up dem wicked

the boy, "Sampsen wasn't one of
the apostles" Ephe put down his

mentin amazement, and then asked
him with an air of triumph, 'slook
