UNDER TRIAL.-The evidence against
Mrs Nancy B. MADAM, on trial al Ded-
ham, for numbering her son-in-law, Oba-
diah Jones, is all in. The important parts
are her daughters confession that after
one attempt to poison Jones with some
cake, Mrs MADAM had shot him and
placed the pistol in his hand to indicate
suicide as the cause; and the testimony
of State Constable Eldridge and Deputy
Sheriff Wood, who overheard the mother
and daughter connecting false accounts in
Jail to contradict Mrs. Jones' confession,
made the morning after Jones died. Mrs
MADAM is decrepid, repulsive woman,
and has not borne q good character. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty.

cu,prrRl-sr,nrlsm Alley.

Starfish Alley Is not place TO be proud
or even fond of. 1t is not healthy. or a
savory, or quiet or convenient locali-
ty. Its centre is sewer, and its narrow
side walks are conduits for that sewer
The moldy bricks Of its walls reek with
the slime of corruption and decay, and its
atmosphere is a miasma.
With all these disadvantages, however,
few localities can boast such population
as swarms in Starfish Alley.

with the air of bird about TO take TO

HAIR, naturally wavy and Of bright
chestnut color, was drawn away from a

enormous coil at the back Of her graceful

After patient investigation, and a full hearing
of the parties, have come to the conclusion that
the question of annexation had better be post
poned for another year, when'a more perfect bill
can be prepared, and the subject be more deliber-
ately discussed This course will do away with
much bitterness Of feeling and dissatisfaction
among the people of Lansingburgh while Troy
need be in no haste to have annexed what must
sooner or later be hers. Troy can wait without
serious inconvenience er injury.

MEN AND DoGs.-The Grand List of
Rutland, just completed, shows 2,197
polls in town, and 329 dogs. The polls
are supposed to be taken more accurately
than the dogs, as only those ''purps' too

by the listers the day they were round.
Even the CANNES appear to have been in
troduced to the listers, as they would rush
to the right drawer every time upon the

and inclination the former because he
had enough for hiuIself and family, and
for the reason that he thought the sur
plus money of the nation ought to be
given to the wives and children of our
fallen heroes. No one can charge this

He is as simple as a child, and for that
reason has quietly pushed away gifts that
might have interfered with his manly in
dependence. His action carries US back
to the times of the revolution,
when the thanks of Congress were
sufficient repayment for the suffer
ings of our fathers and back still fur

Lawrence Eagle says that about six weeks
ago, a resident of that city. who had been
sick for some time, told his friends a
dream that hc had the night before. 1t
was that he was very soon to leave this
world, and take with him his grandson,
then healthy boy at school About two
weeks after, the lad was taken sick, and
the grandfather was so firmly convinced
that his dream would be fulfilled, that he
warned those about him that medicine
would do the boy no good The lad died
day or two ago, notwithstanding all
efforts to save him, and his relative re-
marked that he should follow him in a
few hours. He died the next day.

q We date the decline of the anniversary en-
