THE CASE OF SANFORD OoNevER.-In the
Criminal Court, this morning, Judge Lander,
counsel for Sanford Conover, nled the fol-
lowing motion: .r-. ,.,rr,
United States rs Charles A. pnnham.-Per!
jury.-Comes now the defendant, Sanford
Conovek atlas Charles A. Dun ham, and moves
the court to set aside and vacate the judgme at
ard Tor new trial herein, for the following
reasons: H SEf
1st Because Of evidenc sdiscove vered since the
former trial and the decision Of motion for
20. For new matter arising since the entry
Of Judgment.
Sd. Because the defendant was aot tried
before a jury qualified to try him. -'
Judge Lander said he had examined the aH-
thorities in support of this motion, and he had
no doubt that the court had the power to grant
1t, and he would be able to show it by argu-
ment. He would like to have the case set down
for an early day, and would like the defendant
to be present. He suggested that an order be
issued to have the prisoner brought in.
Judge Fisher remarked that he telt much in J.
disposed, but would try and hear 1t after three
O'Clock this afternoon, IL well enough.
Judge Lander said he would like TO have
the defendant in court, and he did not want

order be issued suspending the execution of

And seen the clouds ascend in graceful curls,
But feels the world 8 dark picture all recede,
And hopes gush brighter each puff unfurls?
The choice aroma of the Grape Cigarn
Will spread like incense sprnkled on the hearth;
'Tis sweet as evening. when each peeping star
Receives its homage from the flowers Of earth.
Its fumes enliven, renovate and cheer,
Refresh the path mortality must tread,
Like scented groves in natures wild's appear,
To raise enchantment and relieve the head.

And all who wish to pass pleasant hour away,
Should call on WELCH, at his famed Cigar Store,
His superior stock a visit will repay.

IRON MILLS TO RESUME OPERATIONS.
We ore informed that the Wheeling
and Benwood works will resume opera
tions to-day, and the balance as soon as
they can get ready. The puddlers and
boilers get the old price, 50 rs per ton,
on condition that as soon as the Pitts
burg mills start up they will work for
the same price paid by them. This
will be good news to ALL. as the stop
page of the mills has affected all
branches of. trade, Us will readily be
perceived when it is remembered that
the stoppage took out of circulation
about $4,000 per week. The vast vol
umes of smoke from the furnaces
and clank of the ponderous machinery
will give our city buster appearance
than it has worn for some time. The
puddlers and boilers have displayed
good grit in holding out, and We hope
their work may be uninterrupted by
future differences.

ESTHER GRANT, u colored woman,
supposed to be nearly hundred years
of age, died in this city on Friday morn
ing. The deceased was many years ago
the slave of Reverend Christian STREET.,
q we'll known Lutheran minister of
Winchester, Virginia. Her distinct and
accurate recollection of events occurring
in the Shenandoah Valley during the
progress of the Revolution, and her ex-
act knowledge of the leading Virginians
of that period, showed that she could
have lived but little, if any, less than a
century.
After her masters decease, which &C.
Cured nearly forty years ago, she re-
NAMED with his family, nominally q
slave, but free in fact, her welfare being
cared for and all her wants supplied by
those whom she had so long and faith
fully served. Duling the progress OF
the war, although helpless %nd afflicted,
she was induced to leave her home in
Winchester and remove to this city,
where she remained until her death.
For many of the later years of her life,
it was remarked of her, that with the
deep devotion which has so often been
noticed in the Slaves of kind and
worthy men, she attached herself to
the younger descendants of her mas
ter, and was never happier than
when ministering to their child
ish wants. Under the mutations of an
eventful destiny the young objects of
her care have been sadly separated and
scattered; some, alas! have grown
weary with heir.wandering, and have
laid down in their last long rest; but, of
those who yet survive, there is not one
but will sincerely mourn the departure
of "Aunt Esther" as that of devoted
servant, an earnest Christian, and q
faithful friend.
