How 10 Cook a Ham.

We dined occasionally at the table of
Mrs. K, and until we tasted it there,
we did not know what ham was ca
pable Of 1t being too nice to remain
a family secret, we asked the recipe
for the benefit of our readers Boil a
ham for three hours, remove the skin,
and trim it nicely, and then rub into
the fat pound Of powdered sugar, or
as much az it will take up. The ham
is then placed in q dripping pan, in
which put a pint of sherry, or other
good wine, and put into the oven, aud
baked very slowly for two hours.
During the baking it is frequently bas-
ted with the wine. Try this, and we
are confident you will say that yOu have
never before eaten ham in its greatest
perfection.

DECAY IN THE Oh REGIoSs,-A re-
cent visitorito the oilregions Of Pennsyl-
vania describes the desolation which
reigns in a once famous locality. Be-
tween Oil city and Meadville not one
well is in operation. Iti only long
line of rotting derricks and rusted boil
ers and engines. At Franklin, where
the French Creek empties into the Al
leghany, they show with pride the
great court house that they are building,
the tall marble monument to the mar
tyrs of the war, and the tumbling down
farmhouse fthe Evans family. Three
years ago, 100000 were offered to
this family for their house and ground.
The offer was refused as too moderate;
and the daughter of the house, in the
flush of sudden wealth, scorned her rus
tic lover and cancelled her engagement.
Now, the estate, house, farm, and all
will not bring $1,000, the daughter
pines in single blessedness, and the
family can onlyremember, in their pres
ent misery, their former hope.

be opened on Monday next on Cary street
between Ninth and Tenth. 1t is intended
for the benefit of all who may choose to
patronize it. A nominal price will be

only who are deserving and unable to pay.

much suffering has been alleviated in other
cities, and, properly conducted, very
much good will be done here during the
coming winter.

The ROSE COURT OF. INoUIRY.-The
court of inquiry convened to inquire into
the conduct Of Colonel Thomas B. Rose
during the late elections has been in ses-
sion since Monday. On Tuesday several
witnesses were examined, from whose
evidence it would appear that Colonel Rose
was under the influence of liquor on the
first day of the election, and that he bad
ordered several white citizens away from
the polls.
Yesterday morning William T. Glenn was
first examined, and testified that he was
at the Third Ward polls on the 24th of Oc-
tober between 2 and o'clock. The
street on which the white voters were
advancing was guarded on both sides.
Witness was one of the parties driven
away from the polls. Colonel Rose caught
him by the back and showed him away,
ordering "every d-n one of them to
60 to their homes," and saying "that if
them to the alms-house." Colonel Rose
was then, the witness thought, under the
influence of liquor; for he smelt it on him.
Two gray haired citizens came up to the
polls, and were driven back by him. Wit
ness did not sec that the street on which
the colored voters were in line was guarded,
nor did he sec any negroes ordered away
from the polls. Witness was not pre-
vented from voting by the action of Colo
mel Rose. lie had already voted, and was
going to see the state Of the polls. There
were about one hundred white men in the
crowd about the polls ordered away by
al of ,p,l
did not interfere with the colored voters
in passing either to or from the polls.
There was no disturbance whatever about
the polls ut the time Of the interference.
One of the old gentlemen driven back by
Colonel Rose said that he desired to vote,
and Colonel Rose replied that he had
heard enough of this, and that if they
didn't go home he would soon find place
for them. Witness made no threats against
the officers during election day.
Policeman Wilkinson said that he was
on duty at the polls on the Oath Of Octo-
ber. He saw Colonel Rose press the
crowd of white voters back to the corner
of Third and Grace streets, saying to them
that every d-n one Of them must leave
for their homes; and if they didn't have
homes, d-n 'em, he'd send them to the
alms-house."
He afterwards saw Colonel Rose order
Mr.. Berry Amos to get down from the ia
BILE and stop issuing tickets, saying, "Let
Fitchett remain" At 10 o'clock that
night witness went to the polls, and was
standing near the colored voters window,
when Colonel Rose told him "By G., he
must get away from there" Witness
saw that he was very much under the in
huence of liquor, and paid no attention to
him. He did not know of his own know
ledge that any white voter was prevented
from voting by any action of Colonel Rose,
nor did he see him drink anything. Colo
mel Rose said to Amos when he ordered
him down that he belonged to the lower
ward, and there were plenty Of white
citizens in the upper ward to represent it.
Major 7. Hennessy appeared for the de-
fence.
The court will meet again at II O'Clock
this morning.

me account for my wife, when no one
knows what has become ofher."
Colonel Young then cited case from
the English Common Law Reports in
which woman was not made to account
for missing child, whose fate was enve-
loped in darkness, although she had the
child in her arms few hours before it was
missing.
1t was monstrous for q man to say that
ne was not to be held accountable for his
wife when she had been made away with,
her body found, land circumstances pointed
directly towards him. Such would be
contrary to law and common sense, and
subversive to the good order Of society.
Colonel Young then defined to the jury
the meaning Of the term reasonable
doubt" beyond which they must establish
the guilt of the prisoner in order to con-
ylct him of the crime charged, producing
Starkle and other high authority to show
that the jurors must, in order to decide,
after careful hearing Of the evidence, be
in the condition of mind to feel an abiding
conviction to moral certainty that the
charge is established. The evidence should
be such as would convince and direct the
understanding, and satisfy the reason and
judgment of the mind.
Gentlemen of the jury, 1 now give the
cause to you-you sit between the Com
monwealth and the prisoner. If he be
guilty, you bear the sword of the Com
monwealth. Examine we'll all the evil
dence, inquire well in your minds whether
or not he be guilty or innocent. Your re-
sponsibilities are just beginning mine, l
am thankful to say, are at an end.
AT quarter of 9 O'Clock the jury re-
tired, and at ten minutes after o'clock
returned. AS they came in every eye
rested upon the prisoner, upon whose
countenance nothing bat that same imper-
turbed blank expression that has marked
it ever since his imprisonment could be de-
picted. The jury reported that they had
not agreed upon verdict; whereupon
they were given into the custody of the
sheriff, and the court adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning.
