of the youthful portion of the community
should expand 'sOmewha1y,' in proportion
to the growth and width and height of OuI
glorious county. a @
In order 10 assist little; respectfully
suggest few questions, which will, think
materially aid school examining committees
in general, in their selection of teachers.
Being pressed for time, have not talzer
pains to classify and arrange wy questions
under the different heads of geographical
astronomical, arithmatical, scientifcal, pro-
blemical, historical, and stock material.
There being no patent right secured on any
of By questions, any member of auy learned
board, can select such as he thinks will be
likely to sharpen up the ideas of candidates
for school teachers: G

one now living that can tell with sufficient

he had not seen him for months
although she had seen him en-

THE POLLARD MOORE CASE.

l
on the 28th of Jan. 1868, Mrs
Maria N. Pollard, wife Of E. A.
Pollard, was arrested in Balti.

with intent to kill DIR. George
A. Moore, a druggist, doing
business on the corner of Hano.
yer and Hill streets. After re-
naming in Jail for some days.
she was discharged on her own
recognizance to appear when
wanted. In the meantime the
grand jury found an indictment
against the lady for common
assault. The case has been
postponed from term to term,
and the community seemed to
have lost sight of it entirely,
but it having been set for trial
yesterday, Mrs. Pollard, who,
has been sojourning in Wash
ington, was notified Of the fact,
and on the opening Of the Grim
inal Court Monday morning she
made her appearance accompa-
nied by a male friend.
The lady was richly habited
in a thin dress of dark material,
cut very low at the neck, 80 as
to exhibit to the best advant-
age an unusually we'll developed
bust, but her face was so thick
ly yelled that very few knew
her in the densely crowded
court room, even after she had
taken a seat in the witness box,
although many curious eyes
were turned towards the spot
in which she sat. When, how
ever, the case of Moore VS.. Pol
lard was called, Mrs. Pollard,
accompanied by John Wills,
Esq. left the witness box and
took a seat among the lawyers,
and she at once became the
great object Of attention, as
much on account of the previ-
GUS notoriety of her case as for
the present style of dress as
sumed by her on this occasion.
AS the lady was without coun-
sci, Mr.. Wills so informed the
court, and Judge Gilmor d.
rected him to conduct the de-
tense.
These was put upon trial be-
fore the court, a jury being
waived. DR.. Geo. A. Moore
and bis two assistants then
gave their evidence. The ply
sicians who attended DR..
Moore followed, and testified as
to the extent Of the wound in
fiicted by the pistol ball, which
passed through DR.. Moore's
wrist, doing injury to the mus.
cles that will last through life.
Mr.. Wills cross questioned
the witnesses, and then, by
permission of the court, took
the stand and detailed his form
er professional connection with
Mrs. Pollard, giving it as his
deliberate judgment that at the
time of the commission of the
alleged assault the accused was
not Of sound mind.
The counsel for the prisoner
then asked Judge Gilmor if he
would listen to a statement
from the accused, which request
the judge said he would grant
only provided Mr.. Knott the
States attorney, and Mr.. Mil
ton Whitney, counsel for Doc
tor Moore, did not object. These
gentlemen having signified
their willingness, Mrs. Pollard
was led to the witness stand by
Mr.. Wills, and after removing
the thick green veil that envel-
oped her face, she proceeded to
detail to the court the history
Of the wrongs she claimed to
