A singular Pollt,caI Trial.

A curious political trial has just taken
place in Berlin. The accused was Count
John Dzialynski, brother-in-law to
Prince Ladislas Czartoryski, and the
charge against him was that he had
conspired in 1868 to re-establjsh an in-
dependent Poland, including the duchy
of Posen, thereby committing an act Of
high treason against the Prussian State
The Count had already been tried once
before on the same charge, together with
great number of other emineRt Poles
of Posen, in 1854 but he was at the
time out Of the country, and sentence of
death was passed on him IN his absence.
About month ago he returned to Prus-
sia, and presented himself before the
Prussian authorities, asking for a new
trial The proceedings lasted week,
and ended in the former sentence being
commuted to three years imprisonment.
During the trial Count Czialynski was
subjected to a long and severe cross ex-
animation, which elected several inter-
esting facts relative to his participation
I in the insurrection. He admitted that
his house was always open to the insur-
gents, that he provided numbers Of them
with provisions and horses, that he gave

The Cable as a Patent agent.

The american 4ArtiSan gives an illus
tration of the advantages afforded by the
Atlantic cable as a patent agent. Some
time since an American patentee wished
to secure a patent in England, but un-
fortunately knowledge Of his invention
leaked out There are patent sharks al
ways OF the watch for valuable inven-
tions, and one of these started immediz
ately for Lendon,s where he hoped to
secure the English patent on the inyen-
ton for it is one Of the beauties of Eng
lish patent Legislation that the person in
Great Britain first in possession Of q
knowledge Of an invention is allowed the
patent on application, even to the exelu-
sion of the nEentOr. But. the. cable. an
ticipated the Cunarder, and four days
before the steamer reached liverpool a

superacIal Inaaels.

Sir Isaac Newton set out in life a
clamorous inidel but on a nice examina-
ton of the evidences Of Christianity, he
found reason to change his opinion.
When the celebrated DIR. HALEY was
talking infdelity to him, Sir Isaac New
ton addressed him in these or like words /;
" DR.. HALEY, | am always glad to hear
when you speak about astronomy or
other parts of mathematics, because that
is subject you have studied and well
understand but you should not talk Of
Christianity, for you have not studied
it. | have, and am certain you know
nothing about the matter" This was a
Just reproof, and one that would be very
suitable to be given to half the in6dels
of the present day, for they often speak
Of what they have never studied, and
what, in fact, they are entirely ignorant
of. DIR. johnson, therefore, well OBJ
served, that no honest man could be
an atheist, for no man could be 50 after
a careful examination Of the proofs Of
Christianity" The name Of Hume being
mentioned to him, No, sir, said he.
/" Hume owned to clergyman of the
Bishoprie Of Durham, that he had never
read the New Testament with attention.

Trout Raising in PenusyIvania.

A correspondent of the Elmira AdUer-
riser, writing from Seely Greek, gives
the following account of trout raising in
that place We lately saw at the
fountain head of SeeIy Creeks fne tri-
butaries, between 5000 and 10000 real
genuine, healthy, speckled spring water
trout. These trOutlets were about an
inch in leuth when seen by Us, and al
though we were unable to count the pile,
should Judge the number estimated to be
correct. This fine show Of trout is the
astonishing result Of an enterprise inau-
gurated the past autumn by DR.. Eldridge,
of Elmira. The doctor has an extensive
farm in Well, Pa, situated about three
and half miles south Of the State line,
and upon the farm are fine, pure springs
OF water, and the doctor thought why
not have in abundance OF these
delicious fish, and Immediately acting
upon the suggestion, obtained the ex-
perienced counsel of John King, the
trout king of America, and has succeeded
thus far beyond his most saRguine ex-
peetations. The pond is about forty
feet long by twenty in width, strong and
permanently enclosed by solid walls,
with waterproof cement bottom, the
whole surrounded by a formidable iron
picketed fence. The Matching boxes, or
beds, where the trout are propagated
and confined until large enough to bear
the more common exposure OF the open
pond, are located in the cellar Of the
farm house adjoining the pond, and are
very conveniently arranged The many
peculiar and interesting features respect
Inc the tender and intricate period Of
hatching, were kindly explained to US
by the polite superintendent, AIr. Smith,
but we shall be unable to enter into the
details for want of space. We do say,
however, that too much praise eannct
be given the doctor for thus boldly un-
dertaking an enterprise so uncertain and
novel. The investment, We hope, may
prove successful and paying one.

RD- Say what we will, Death is a romorse-
less enemy. How often he snatches from a
beloved circle one of its most cherished
members! No vigilance of mortals can
guard from his open or insidious attacks,
none but Omnipotence preserve from the
grasp of the Destroyer. How terribly are
we sometimes reminded of the frailty Of hui
man life! The thunderbolt that, from a
cloudless sky, rives the sturdy oak, is not
more startling than the blow of the invisible
Angel who smites the sons of men with re-
sistless power. In the most cruel manner,
again and again Death deprives us of the So
ciety of friends whose excellencies were
widely known and honored. Such an one
was HENRY G. HOBART, whose sad fate has
elected ordinations of regret from the
lips of hundreds. The community has in
deed reason to glieve for the loss of such a
worthy and accomplished citizen. Mr.. Ho-
BART was devout Christian, a scholar Of
fine attainments, friend who delighted in
ministering to the happiness OF his associates.
Farewell, faithful, genial friendl No more in
earthly sanctuaries will our voices blend in
Inscriptions of praise, but if my faith fails not,
it will be permitted us, in glorifed forms,
again to unite in praising our ad&able Re-
