CRIME.
A Remarkable Case in the United States
Crurt.

Remarkable Case in the United States
Crurt.
A trial which developed some singular Incl
dents, has lately closed IN the United States
Circuit Court at Cleveland, Ohio. The circum-
stances are substantially these: In December,
1868, q young banker at Hudson, Michigan
named William w. Treadwell, possessing large
capital and high reputation Tor integrity and
business capacity, borrowed upwards of 5000
from banks in Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit,
Adrian, and Hilsdale, and then absconded
was heard OF him again TILL February
8, 1864, when he arrived at Mansfield
OHIO, under the assumed name of G. Clemmer.
While there Tread we'll met an old friend to
whom he showed large amount of money,
some $50, 900, aud said he intended to return to
Hudson and pay his debts. On the evening Of
the 10th instant Tread Wells wife and her
father, named Samuel Hester OF Centrevlle,
Ohio, visited him at Mansfield with small
trunk. As the party were on the way to the
depot the next day, Treadwell and his wife
were arrested and the trunk seized, but Hester
made off with the black satchell. Treadwel
was taken to Michigan, tried, convicted, and
sentenced to Jail. On the last day OF the trial his
wife secretly gave him $4,000, and that same even
ing he broke jail in company with horsethef
named Cowell, to whom he disclosed the fact of
having large sum of money. After escaping
from jail Cowell murdered his companion In a
piece of woods and stole his watch and money.
Long afterwards wood-chooper discovered
Treadwell's body, which, by series of prov-
Dental circumstances was Identified, and the
murder traced to Cowell, who was committed in
May, 1865, and executed in September following,
after confessing his guilt. Samuel Hester,
Treadwells father-in-law, who ran away
with the satchel, at Mansfield, returned
to his home at Centreyille, after various
adventures, one OF which, led to an at
tempt to arrest him as a thief, but which
he resisted with firearms. and finally escaped
because the Sheriff, when he saw him, decided
women employed by Mrs. Hester discovered
Samuel Hester, Mrs. Treadwell, and Mrs. Hester
counting large amount of money-"a peck
measure full" as she testified on the trial. This
led to the arrest of Samuel Hester, and the trial
which has just closed sho VS. that it was the
money fraudulently obtained by Treadwell, and
the plaintiff in the case obtained q verdict ior
$3S, 800. The case affords another Illustration of
the saying, "The way of the trauseressor is
hard" Treadwell was murdered, his murderer
executed, and the father-in law, who is supposed
to have prompted Tread we'll to commit the
crime, is in the hands of justice and compelled
to relinquish his illgotten wealth.

The following paragraph from the pen OF
Admiral Andrew Ii. Foote was written by him
Just after the capture of Fort Donelson.
Foote himself had so strong love OF public
honor and applause, when it came to him In the
way OF duty, that it was a serious matter of
conscience with him not TO accept it for himself
when 1t justly belonged to another. 1t was ON
them to newspaper correspondent, with whom
he was on friendly terms, requesting him to
incorporate them in his letter giving account
of the capture. They were prin ed in one of
the most influential OF the Western ne ewspapers;
but it never was publicly known that Foote
wrote them:-

1t is generally supposed that white beans
will grow on a weak soil which will produce
hardly anything else. We remember hav-
ing an interview, some twenty years ago, with
"a gentleman in the city Of Monroe, Michigan.
lie bad been Governor of that State, and, il
our memory is not at fault, his name was
Phelps. In speaking of the soil of his adopt
ed State, he remarked that it was very fertile
as compared with that of Yo,k county in
Maine from which place he emigrated several
years previous, where it was so sterile that
white beans" could not be grown. 1t SEEM
ed that he thought he conld not put lower
estimate ON tie soil than that. He only re-
iterated the common opinion. But is that
opinion correct? Will beans grow better on
poor soil than other vegetables? We think
there is some mistake in this matter, and
our beliefs that poor soil will produce only
a poor crop of beans just as it does of every
thing else. True, barren, sandy soil will
often grow quite crop of sorrel, but then
the sorrel don't grow so well as it would on
richer lands it were permitted to grow al
all on them.
Farmers usually select light, gravelly sol
for the growth of beans, believing they viii
produce more abundant crop on that thar
on richer, stronger lands. But we ventur,
the opinion that they make a mistake in III,
selection of such soils for their beans. A cor
respondent OF the Country Gentleman, writ
ing from Orleans county, N. Y, says: st /
pretty well understood in this country tina
white beans do the best on rather heavy ol
clayey soil. On such soils they ripen VI
much better and more evenly-makipg muci
less time and labor necessary to cme and Sc
cure them in good ORDER" On sandy ant
gravelly soils and the lighter loans OF diher
ent qualities, beans, he thinks, do not ripel
and fill out so well. They show a strong ten
dsncy to keep growing, blossoming and set

There is an end to old Toryism. Warwick
was the last of the barons who governed Eng

disparagement to the talents Of the late pre-
mier to say that, for his ancestry and bis Tor
tune. he would never have had q chance of
being an Under Secretary at twenty seven, a
Cabinet Minister at thirty TIN ee; the head of
great party in the State Tor twenty yesrJ,
and three times the head of the Executive
Government. No praise of his facility as
versiier, no fatery oil his volubility in evasion
or invectiye, can dupe the most grateful of
the many. followers whom he politically led in
to believing that their patron was a states
man or man Of genius. Nature gave him
pre- eminent degree suppleness OF purpose
and adroitness OF tongue. With all his Os-
tentation ofinfexibility and unconcealed en-
Joyment OF hauteur, there never was a man
who compensated himself more largely tor
whatever sacrifice he may have made to con-
sistency, at the cost of other mems feelings
and opinions. Two or three untamable pre-
ju iices he always kept, indeed, like wolEdogs
about the house, less tor mischief than for
show; fo- the fourteenth Earl OF Derby was
exceedingly fond of all that kept in remem-
btance the dignity and pretentions OF his
rank.
