Townshend, where they came up with re-
spondent and Kingsbury, and upon its
being charged upon them they acknowl'
edged they left the child there, but that
they would return, take the child and
return it to its mother, they claiming it
was not respondents child, but one en-
trusted to them to dispose Of to some
good family; that they returned and
took the child from Bailey's about 3 o.
clock Sunday morning, Oct. 20; that
from Bailey's they left on the Grafton
road, passing through Grafton village
about daylight, and from thence they
went up the Windham road a few miles
beyond Houghtonville, when at the sug-
gestion of the respondent, kingsbury
took the child, carried it into the woods
and left it near certain hemlock log 4;
respondent and Kingsbury then return
ed to Grafton, and there took dinner, and
| from thence returned to the house of re-
spondent's father in Jamaica that five
days after this, Kingsbury returned to
where the child was left, found it dead,
and buried it near said log, where it was
found in May, 1868, by the officers of
justice, they being piloted to the spot by
Kingsbury, who had previously return
ed to Jamaica, confessed the deed and
given himself up to the authorities.
The defence was merely an attempt to
show that the respondent at the time of
the commission of the offence was labor
ing under puerperaI mania; also that
there was a fatal variance between the
proof and the allegations in the indict-
ment.
The jury returned a verdict of not
guilty. States Attorney Arnold and
Wheeler for prosecution; Eddy and
Stoughton for defence.

81 HAVE SToPPED YOUR PAPER." y
The following anecdote, told by a
Philadelphia paper, is decidedly sug-
gestive:
Many years ago, Mr.. Swain, then edi-
tor of the Public Ledger, was hailed at
the corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets by a very excited individual, who
informed him in the most emphatic
terms, Il have stopped your paper, sir,
and proceeded to explain the why and
wherefore, all the time gesticulating
wildly. My gracious, sir, you don't
say so. Come with me to this Office, and
let us see if we cannot remedy the mat
ter. 1t grieves me that any one should
stop my paper" Down Chestnut street
to Third, the two proceeded. Arriving
at the office, Mr.. Swain said, Why, my
dear sir, everything seems to be going on
as usual; l thought you had stopped my
paper" Then and there the excited
gentleman, whom the long walk, by the
way had partly cooled, said that he had
stopped taking his one copy of the
Ledger. Mr., Swain was profuse in his
apologies for having misunderstood the
meaning of his late subscribers words,
and regretted that he had given him the
tramp from Eighteenth street to Third,
down Chestnut. The gentleman went on
his way home, wiser if not better
man, marvelling over the stupidity Of
editors in general, and Of Mr.. Swain in
particular. Before he left, however, he
ordered that the Ledger be still sent to
his address

come round to look at it. You find
stranger walking around with airs OF
proprietorship. He patronizlngiy re-
marks, " Looking for u house !" You
reply, +" No | have leased this one.
A little explanation, and you find your
domicil in prospective has been let over
your head for $50, and the chances are
some third man gets it at 500 after all
You go around among your friends, and
probably indulge in some strong remarks
about the lack of honor among house
proprietors here. But the only sympa-
thy obtained is laugh, coupled proba-
bly with the remark, Honor! Why,
how long have you been in White Pine?
Honor's played out People here are
son the make !" What dye s'pose they
come here for 7"
The same thing is the case with lots
You see lot you like it buy 1t or
der the deed made out; see it signed
You go after the money, and hunt your
man up, only to find that some one offer
cd him fifty dollars advance, and that
the lot is sold. You spluttera little may
be, but you are completely taken aback
by the careless, nonchalant reply " Oh
stuff What dye 'spose | came here for ?
Take drink, and have your money with
you next time r
As natural consequence, every thing
in the way of real estate is advancing in
value. A corner lot, so by 100, sold the
other day for $4,000, gold. Another lot,
Is by 100, sold for $4,000, gold. Sever
al good substantial frame buildings, for
stores, are projected, but, as above stat
ed, there is nothing yet erected worthy
the name of building. One man in
vested $3.50, in November last, in Ham
ilton, and couple of weeks ago sold
his purchase for $4,000. A certain prop
erty in Treasure City advanced from
February Is at $4,000, to $4,000 on
i March s.
Although have written Of faro and
other gambling institutions, you mus
not suppose that we have not responsible
banking houses here. In this distric
there are six legitimate banking houses
You can buy exchange on New York a
4 per cent, and can sell bullion (if 20,
haveit) for il per cent premium. Thu
banking business pays we'll and is rapid
ly increasing.

Hon. C. w. Willard from the first dis
trict of this State, made speech in the
House just before adjournment, directly
against the popular current there in re-
lation to Cuba. He took the ground
that it was an ahsurdity to rush in hot
haste after the Instruction in Cuba, inn
mediately after we had with so much
alacrity and cordiality acknowledged the
new government of Spain, against which
was this revolt in Cuba. The speech is
strong, we'll put. and may be regarded as
the sober second thought We don't I'M
derstand Mr.. Willard to be opposed to
a free government in Cuba, but rather
that our country shall stand by consis-
tency and the laws of nations

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT IN ELEC-
TRICITY.-The Boston journal of Chem
istry gives the following amusing and
instructive experiment: Procure four
glass tumblers or common glazed tea
cups, ard having wiped them dry as pos
sible, hold them over tn fire to evapo-
rate any moisture which may still adj
here to their surface; for if there is the
least moisture it makes connection and
spoils the experiment. Place them up
on the floor in a square, about one foot
apart; place piece of board upon the
tumblers, and have a person standing
upon the board. This person is now COM
pletely insulated, the glass being a nom
conductor of electricity. Now take a
common rubber comb, and having wound
piece of silk around one end of it, rub
it briskly through your hair, and draw
the teeth parallel to the insulated per-
sons knuckles, leaving a little space be-
tween the comb and the persons hand.
The result will be a sharp, cracking
noise and if dark, there will be seen a
succession of sparks. Repeat the pro-
cess until the phenomena cease. The
person is now enlarged with electrici-
ty, the same as a Leyden jar. To draw
off the electricity, approach your knuck-
les to the persons hands or his nose (be-
ing careful not to allow any portion OF
the body to come in contact with his, }
and there will be loud snap and the
sparks will be very brilliant. If cat
be held so that the charged person can
place his knuckles in proximity with the
animals nose, it will suddenly appear as
if it were in contact with an electric bat.
!, terry. A glass bottle may be used in lieu
of the comb, but it is not so well adapt
! ed for the purpose. Much amusement
may be derived from this extremely sim
pie experiment, and some of our numer
Gus young readers will hasten to try i
, for themselves"

LET THEM COME I

The Louisville Courier Journal very
we'll says, "The people of the South in
repairing their shattered fortunes are
wisely inviting immigrants. In this
movement Virginia has been very sue
cessful. and capital and labor are now
rapidly flowing to her borders. What
is true of Virginia is true of theentire
South. The great desideratum to be
secured is political and social tranquil
lity-this accomplished and the pro-
gress of Southern manufacturing enter
prises will be one of the chief features
in the current history of the times. The
poor of the South will have remunera-
tive employment, skilled laborers will
flock to her genial cline from the North
and from Europe, and tho problem will
be solved"
The Chronicle says: We have hore in
Virginia all the elements of prosperity
except men and money, and these
should be encouraged TO come to us by
every possible means. No pains should
be spared to let the world know the adj
vantages we offer for settlers. Whatever
branch of agriculture or manufactures
any man may want TO follow, he can
find in Virginia choice situation. Good
lande, fine climate, fine water-power
minerals of almost all kinds are found
in abundance in her borders, and only
want money and enterprise for their
development.
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-04-09

long night of trouble which has lasted
for four weary and toilsome years, we
trust will soon be over, and we think
we can see that our deliverance ap-
proaches. If the people of Virginia
will be true to themselves; if they will
act with all who are willing to aid them
IN purglng the Constitution of its OBJ
noxious features, and establishing a
government by their own votes-taking
only what belongs to them, the control
OF their native State-our restoration
may soon be accomplished; and THEN
we can amend and mold this restored
government at our pleasure, in accord
ance with the popular will.
