The trial OF Dennis Eagan before the Court OF Ses

day. In the argument for the defence 1t was held
that the deceased danes ilaggerty) visited the
liquor saloon Of the prisoner and while there was
noisy and quarrelsome, wanting to fight every man
in the house for $1,000. Eagan took him by the
shoulder and conducted him to the door, where he
left. without using any violence whatsoever He
did not see him TALL.
The Court then charged the Jury, setting forth
that the defendant was indicted for the homicide Of
James Haggerty the death Of whom he Is alleged to
have caused by violence on the 18th day Of April
last and that in order to warrant his conviction OF
the offence the jury should be satisfied from the
evidence produced that the defendant assaulted the
and only cause OF the injury which resulted IN tue
death Of deceased. The Judge then said;-

T A curious marriage occurred last
week in st. Louis. A stone blind BRIDE
groom was led by his blushing bride to
the altar of Justice of the Peace. That
honest and benevolent functionary
felt it to be his duty to inform the poor
blind man that the chosen of his heart
was really one of tho ugliest women in
the world, and that she had already, to
his certain knowledge, buried two hus-
bands. To this the bridegroom respon-
ded that he had seen the lady q great
many years ago, and that, according to
the best Of his recollection, she was then
"a thing of beauty and form of life
and light AS the unfortunate man in
sisted upon being married to this dream
Of his earlier and happier days, the knot
was tied !; but the Justice said that he
couldn't in conscience take fee for do
ing it; and SO the poor victim was sent
away rejoicing.

Preserving Peaches.

The following seasonable recipe will
be regarded as an interesting item by
many q matron: The clear stone yellow
peaches, white at the stone, are the best.
Weigh the fruit after it is pared. To
each pound of fruit allow pound of loaf
sugar. Put layer of sugar at the bot
tom of the preserving kettle, and then a
layer Of fruit, and so on until the fruit is
all in. Stand it over the fire until the
sugar is entirely dissolved then boil
them until they are clear; take them out
piece by piece, and spread them on
dish free from syrup. Boil the syrup
in the pan until it jellies when the
peaches are cold fill the jars half full of
them. and fill up with boiling syrup
Let them stand short time covered
with thin cloth, then put on brandy
paper and cover them close with corks,
skin or paper. From twenty to thirty
minutes will generally be sufficient to
preserve them.

A tabular statement of the whisky
trade Of the United States during the
past two years, just prepared at the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, shows that the
consumption for the fiscal year ending
June SO, 1868, was, according to the tax
receipts, 6,7O9,546 gallons, while for
the year ending June 80, 1869, it was
81, ,sS1, ,621 gallons, with thirty seven
districts yet to be heard from. Temper
anoe advocates will perhaps be disposed
to quote these figures as an evidence of
the startling increase of intenperance
in this country. But the fact is, more
distilleriss pay taxes than ever before,
and the increase il in favor Of honesty
rather than drunkenness.

John G. Whittier's letter to the Wo
man Suffrage Convention is character
lied by all the moderation peculiar to
the Society of Friends. He says he has
q general sympathy with the objects of
the convention, because he sees no good
reason why wives and daughters should
not have the same rights as their male
relatives, and does not believe that the
women will generally abuse their privi
leges when they get them. He adds,
however:
81 do not see that the exercise of the
ballot by woman will prove a remedy
for all the evils of which she justly COM
plains. It is her right as truly as mine,
and when she asks for it it is som mething
less than manhood to withhold it. But
unsupported by more practical educa-
ton, higher aims and a deeper sense Of
the responsibilities of life, it is not like
ly to prove blessing in her hands any
more than in q mans %

But the cheeks, tear-washed, are whitest,

The latter, however, gallantly, but
with great difficulty, held fast to the old
lady with one hand and to the steamer
with the other, his feet dangling in the
water. and just keeping the old lady's
head above the surface till several men
got hold of them, anG pulled them on
the deck. The steamer was crowded
with ladies and gentlemen. among whom
there was considerable fright for awhile;
for the woman and her assistant were
for time in considerable danger. The
old lady behaved in the most cool and
manful manner during the whole scene.

stood there calm and unmoved, with the
