He had been unwisely eager to grow
rich, and had overtasked the energies both
of his body and mind, il the attempt to

founder of family that should rank

Aeuuittal of Mrs. Twitchell.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22-The trial of
Mrs Twitchell for completely with her
husband in the murder Of her mother,
Mrs. Sarah +. Hill, which commenced on
Wednesday last, wa, suddenly terminated
at noon to-day by the abandonment of,hs
case by the Commonwealth This action
was not unexpected, as the evidence I'd
duced during the trial of her husband
was purely circumstantial and in no way
connected her with the terrible tragedy.
4 fter the examination ofseveral witnesses.
thi. morning, District Attorney Shep-
pard stated that in his opinion the owl
dence was insufficient to warrant ver-
diet of guilty of murder, and the Judge
charged the jury accordingly. When
the prisoner was ordered to stand up, Mrs.
Twitchell, for the first time, removed her
vail and exhibited her face, which show
ed marks of Intense grief and premature
old age When the verdict of Not gull
ty" was recorded she fell into her seat and
wept bitterly, She was then conveyed
to her home, accompanied by some Of her
relatives, an innocent woman in the eyes
of the law.

The Professor gave 10 vowel sounds, four
more than appear in his chart. and he face
tiously gave as the reason for the non ap-
pearunce of these on the chart, that he would
be obliged To cut off the mans head on the
chart, to make room for the missing sounds
! On the whole, he thought the extra sounds
were brought out by the combination of the

The recent Investigations have fully
confirmed the general belief as to the
frauds perpetrated by the Democrats ss
the late election in New York. The de-
veiopments are truly astounding. hc-
cording to the New York Sun, thirtv
thousand fraudulent votes wer- cast in
that city 'i5re. Several witnesses testi
fed that they had voted as often as thirty
times each. The manufacturer of the bo-
gus naturalization papers testified tha. his
press was running for four months pro-
rious to the election, aud that be had
printed over one hundred thousand Of
them. The worst feature Of the business
is, that there is every reason to believe
this wholesale rascality was coneocted by
the prominent party leaders, men of stand
ing and influence the community What
else can we expect from party of this
character but opposition to registry laws
and other measures TO preserve the pur-
ity Of the ballot box, which is shown by
their papers in Pennsylvania at this time?
