TRIAL OF Mrs. EDWARD A. POLLARD
In the Criminal Court, Mrs Maria N. Pol
lard, wife of Edward A. Pollard, was
placed on trial before the Court, for shoot
ing DR.. G. A. Moore through the left wrist,
with single barTelled pistol, at his apoth-
ecary store, corner of Hill and Hanover
streets, on the 28th of January, 1868. The
circumstances of this affair were published
In the Gazette at the time. Mrs. Pollard
entered the store of DR.. Moore about mid
day, and commenced questioning him as to
the whereabouts of her husband, with
whom she had recently had one of their
not unfrequent matrimonial difficulties
DR.. Moore being a friend of Pollard's,
whether ignorant rnot was averse to CIV
ing any information, and after some words
desired her to leave the shop and seeking
to enforce his wish, advanced towards her,
when she fired, inficting the wound above
stated. Upon her trial, DR.. Moore and one
of his clerks appeared as witnesses against
the accused. John Wills, Esq, cross-ex-
amining them for the prisoner. During
the examination, Mrs. Pollard who was
very handsomely and tastefully dressed in
certain style, remained closely yelled, but
the evidence having been closed, Mr.. Wi il
lis requested the Court to hear Mrs. Pol
lard's statement. Judge Gilmor stated
that though it was unusual to do so, and
the Court could not treat the prisoners
statement as evidence, he would hear what
she might have to say. Mrs. Pollard then
advanced to the illness stand, and throw
ing back her veil, disclosed very pretty,
clever face, and made most pathetic ap-
peal to his Honor, ~~ t;"s, tlIo otvIy 81
the woes and ill-treatment she had received
from Mrs. Pollard, and duplicating DR..
Moore, his intimate friend, as one of the
sources of her troubles, accusing him and
his clerks of having assaulted her before
she used the pistol, and praying the
Courts mercy for what she had done His
Honor listened patiently to her, and upon
the close of her appeal, sentenced her to
thirty days imprisonment in Jail. Upon
this announcement of sentence which,
though light, was unexpected, as she APP
parently anticipated only fine, the pris-
oner lost all control over herself, and weep
ing bitterly, went into Mysteries, begging
the Court to spare her this disgrace-it not
for her own sake, for the sake of her chill
dren, &c. The Court was compelled to
end the trying scene, by directing the War
den to take her in charge, which was done,
and she was placed in the private office of
the Clerk of the Court, preparatory to her
removal to Jail, and in the meanwhile she
moaned and sobbed unceasingly.-Bau.

To the Voters of Hartford County

The question has been of late repeatedly
asked whether or not intended to be can
didate for the State Senate at the election to
be held next November To those who have
made the inquiry of me l replied affirmative
", and as | deem it to be proper that the pub
lie at large should be made acquainted with
the fact, | take this method of doing so. In
thus announcing myself as candidate, will
avail myself Of the opportunity to return my
heartfelt thanks to the people of Hartford, for
the high honor conferred upon me in electing
me to the State Senate in 1867, with the
knowledge that the chances were even that
would continue member of that body for
four years but it has SO happened that in
drawing lots for the longer and shorter terms,
/ drew the latter. My now becoming can
didate will allow the people Of the county an
earlier opportunity to pass upon me as their
representative in the State Senate, than if I
had drawn the longer term and | am truly
satisfied that such is the case, because if my
course had been such as not to merit their
appreciation, l would lave no right to con-
tinue their representative. If it has, trust
[ shall have the proud satisfaction of having
their endorsement.
Whether so honored or not 1t will always
be to me most agreeable reflection that no
act of mine, while member Of the Senate,
was dictated through desire to serve any
mere partisan purpose, nor performed with
an eye to future personal or. political advan-
tage the belief that it would promote the
interests of the State, or of the county more
Immediately concerned, was sufficient for
me.
Through life Democrat, but always en-
tertaining those conservative principles
which are the very foundation of true Re-
publicanism, it is scarcely necessary for ME
to pledge to the people of my county, who
know me so well, that if honored by having
the opportunity, shall in the future, as in
the past, devote the best energies l possess
to advance every interest that may conduce
to the advantage of my county and State;
and will add, that if should be their choice,
whatever influence may happen to possess
in the appointments to office, shall be used
in behalf of those of my constituents who
would be the choice of the people, if they had
the selection, as far as it can possibly be as
certained.

BITTEN BY SNAkE.-A son of Mr.: John
England, residing in the upper part of this
county, aged about fifteen years, went into
the woods on his fathers farm on Monday
last, to haul some wood, and having loaded
his wagon, filed basket he had with chips.
Having left the basket sitting where he had
filled it he returned tn place it upon the wagon.
when, as he took it by the handle, snake
fastened itself ON the index finger of his
hand, and was with difficulty shaken off, af-
ter having inflicted wound upon the finger
Of the boy. lie Immediately returned home,
and proper remedies were applied to the
wound The boy is hna6ie to say of what
species the snake belongs, but Mr.. England
was fearful that it was what is known as the
copper-head as he had seen several of these
snakes in the same place. DR.. E. H. Rich
ardson rendered medical attention to the
boy, and no bad effects, except slight swell
ing of the hand, have as yet developed them
selves.

NEGRO URoRs.-Judge Fisher, of
Washington city, has ordered the Mar
shall of the District of Columbia to fill
up all vacancies in the list of Grand and
Petit Jurors with negroes. This is part
of the Radical programme, by which
the doctrine of negro equality is to be
fully enforced at the capital of the me-
ton. Negroes are employed on all the
government works, and white men are
given the choice of working with them or
leaving. The object is not so much to af-
ford work to negroes as to break down all
barriers of distinction betw en- the races
throughout the country. The Radicals re-
gard that as necessary to the full develop
ment of their theories, and they will not
cease their efforts until the end
they aim at is accomplished.-Lancaster

COUNTY LEvY.-The county levy was
closed on Tuesday last. The following is the
assessment made: For county, road and
school tax, 81 cents on the $lO0 90; for
State tax, 10 cents on the $4,000. The
amount of assessable property is $13,322,
$4,000. The assessment last year was 81
cents for county tax, and the State tax the
same as it is this year. The increase this
year for county taxes is owing to the fact
that the sum of S13,4O0OO is levied to NEE,
the Bounty Bonds of the county falling due
in 1870, whereas last year only $500 was
levied for that purpose. The school tax, al
so ordered by the school commissioners, is
81 cents on the $4,000 greater than it was
last year. The ordinary expenses of the
county are really less this year than they
were last year; the increase, as before stated,
being solely due TO the increased school tax
and the greater amount Of county bonds fall
ing due the current year.

Dix, then commanding the Department
of the East, and was confined in Fort
Lafayette for four moaths In 1866 he
brought an action in the Supreme Court
against General Dix for damages. The
suit has slept for some time. The at.
torney for General Dix endeayored to
have the case removed from the, State
to the United States courts, bat failed,
and since then has given the matter no
further attention. An order was re-
Gently obtained directing the She III Of
Ulster county to empanuel a jury to as
sess the damages. This was done on
Monday last, notice having been given
TO Mr.. Dix's attorney, and the jury
awarded Mr.. Bell sl0,O 900 damages
