@ CLAY STRAIT and wife, formerly
of this county, but now residents of
Catlettsburg, Ky, were indicted in the
Boyd (Ky.) County Circuit Court, last
fall, for the murder of step-child. On
Tuesday of last week. the case was
called for trial, but it had very sin
gular termination. The boy was
brought into court alive and well, and
being Enthusiastically identified, by par
ties from this county who were well ac-
quainted with him, the case was, of
course, dismissed. Strait and his
wife were indicted upon pure circum-
stantial evidence, and the result proves
that such evidence is not to be, in all
cases, relied upon. The boy had been
absent, at work in an adjoining State.
Had he not appeared the parties indict-
ed might have been found guilty of
murder, while the supposed murdered
boy was alive and WE'LL So much for
circumstantial evidence.

will be visited for the first time by
this great establishment. As me-
nagerie simply, it contains attrac-
tions of a very superior character,
and those who would 60 only to look
at this part, will be amply repaid for
the small butlay necessary to gain
admission. The list embraces al
most all the animals of great inter-
est, from the tropics to the poles.
There will be seen the Lion, Lioness
and Cubs; the Alaskan bear; the
Ibex from the Alps; the performing
Elephant, Queen Emma, and its wee
projeny, Tiny Tim; in fact, so may
varieties that we must ask our rea-
ders to make personal inspection
for more particular mention.
In addition TO the immense me-
nagerie, the establishment also en-
braces a first class Circus, having a
large troupe of excellent performers,
and a clown, Mr.. James Mcclure,
called the funniest man of the age"
In fact, we do not recollect a per-
formance, promising SO much amuse-
ment as well as instruction as Bry-
ans Menagerie and Circus, to ex-
hibit in our city On Saturday, the

Prof. JOHNSON, who had charge of
the Musical Convention at Cheshire,
held some weeks since, through the
Allegany Musical Journal, of which
he is editor, speaks as follows of
some Of the matters connected with
the Convention:
The arrangements for the Ches-
hire convention were principally
made by Mr. Geo. b. Mcbride and
Mr.. A. O. Mauck. 1t would be diff
ficult to indicate where they could
have been made better. Mr., Nc
Bride has attended the Beaver Nor
NAL music school, and has spent a
short time at Friendship. IF any
one in America can beat Mr.. Mauck
in keeping an audience in a roar
with a humorous song, we should
like to see him.
We can hardly make up our mind
to close this account, without men
tioning two subjects not strictly mu
steal. At the mouth of the Great
Kanawha river is a noted Virginia
town called Point Pleasant, which
sent delegation to the convention,
and loaned a fine cabinet organ for
its use. These members belong to
a secret society in Point Pleasant,
and they held a lodge in Cheshire
and admitted several residents of
other towns as members, ourself
among the number. After being
voted in, we respectfully asked the
presiding officer what the society
was for, when a member immediate
ly arose and moved that we be fined
a dollar and half for making such
an inquiry, which vote was unani-
mously carried. We commend it as
model secret society, whose secrets
no member can possibly divulge.
Prof. Johnson, by invitation, re-
peated his Concert at Middleport.
Of an incident connected Herewith,
ne says.
Just before the concert commenced
we were informed that Mr. Downing,
who was good violin player, was
in the house, and it was desired that
we should invite him to play piece
or two. Weoften have such requests
made, and must confess that they
usually start the cold sweat on our
forehead, they are generally 80
much out of keeping with the per-
formances of the convention. Judge
of our surprise, then, to hear Mr..
Downing play with purity of tone,
and an exquistitely delicate express
sion which we never heard excelled
by any one. Mr. d. was long steam
boat pilot between st. Louis and
New Orleans, and to great natural
talent, has omitted no opportunity
to hear all the great artists who visit
! those cities.

~ Mr. HENRY VENEER for many

s% Mr.. HENRY VENEER, for many
years resident of this city, in the
Saloon business. died rather sudden
ly on Friday last. He had been
complaining for few days, of dia-
rhe, something of the character OF
fiux, and of partial paralysis OF his
feet and legs, but it was not consId-
cred alarming, and he was about
much as usual. On the day Of his
death, however, and but few hours
before his deeease, he felt much
worse, and his wife went for ply
sician. While gone, and while being
waited upon by his neighbor, Mr.. E.
x. CHApDU, death came and took
him away, without a struggle or a
groan. His age was about go years.
His life was insured for 81, 1,000 in
the Charter Oak Company, taken
out by his wife within the past year.
He was buried on Sunday after
noon by Ariel Lodge No. 156, |. O.
o. F., of which, SO far as we know,
he was a worthy member The turn
out was alike creditable to the Or
der, and to the memory of the de-
ceased, near ninety members being
in the procession.

BUILDING AssocIATroNs.-Says the
Chillicothe Register: "Of all the CO.
operative efforts of the working classes
and individuals of moderate means to
improve their condition, none, it is
claimed, have been more successful
than Building Associations. Saws
the Cincinnati Times: "On the 9Th of
June, 1857, such a society was organ
lied here, and now there are nine of
them in successful operation, and a
tenth is being organized" This is the
universal testimony of the press in re-
gard to these Associations-they are
measures Of good to all, but more es-
pecially to the working classes. We
hope to see the one organized here alike
successful With those in other parts o,
the State.
