SINGULAR CASE OF TRANCE.--An Eng
lish paper relates that about FIVE months
ago girl about twelve years of age, liv-
ing near Whitehaven, became i'll, and in
short time fell into lethargic state,
resembling that of person in trance.
In this condition she remained for sever
al weeks, but at length returned to
state of consciousness, and, called upon
her mother, related how she had been in
heaven and seen numerous angels and
her brother, who died some time ago.
This power of speech remained only for
a short time, and the girl relapsed into
her former state, or nearly so. She lies
in lethargie condition, but when a
question is put to her she manifests her
power of understanding it by slight
moving of the head The only suste-
nance she has taken for fully Is weeks
has been heoccasional moistening of her
lips with little brandy and water OF
tea. Within the last fow days tho s;-ps
limbs seem to have become gradually
more rigid, as though foretelling no
very distant dissolution.

A BEAUTIFUL Acr.-A little incident
has come to our knowledge, which We
chronicle as beautiful act. A lad re-
Gently applied to his father for seventy
five cents, with which to go ON a picnic.
Obtaining this sum, he procured from
his mother an additional quarter, for the
same innocent purpose. Thus in funds,
the little fellow hired two jobbing wag-
ons. proceeded to the Orphans Home,
and treated the little inmates to ride.
That was his picnic.-Ne,o Bedford Mer-

THE BUsTEED CASE.

lHE BDSIfLED CASE.
Another instance of his intrepidity
before judge was in the Busteed case.
The judge had threatened to convict
him for contempt. Busteed had apollo
gized ; and Brady also, with his match
less grace and courtesy, had rendered
Busteed's apology; but the judge still
said that he should send him to prison.
You will, will you ?" said Brady. al
say you will not p And, citing authori-
ty after authority against his power to
do so, he dared him to thus stretch his
prerogative. The judge thought best to
excuse Mr.. Busted. The fertility of his
mind and its rapidity of action, as shown
in drawing the objections in the Baker
trial, were once illustrated ON an occa-
sion when, on a caso being called, Mr..
Brady answered that his side was ready.
The opposite counsel also stated that he
was ready, and appeared for the plain
tiff. "No," said Brady, 81 am for the
PLAINTIFF" adding, 81 think must know
which side am on However, he was,
at last, convinced that he was mistaken.
So, gathering up his papers, he requested
his Honor to excuse him for twenty njn-
utes, as he saw he was for the defendants
instead of, as he had enormously suppos-
ed, for the plaintiffs, adding, "and from
my knowledge of the merits of the case,
| am heartily glad that l am to defend
instead of prosecuted" !" He left the room,
returned in twenty minutes, tried, and
iron the cause.
HIS FERTILITY AND QUICRNEsS.
The Hon. Luther r. Marsh gives an
instance of Mr.. Brady's fertility in an
important case to which he himself had
given thorough and, as he felt, exhaust
i've preparation. He asked Mr.. Brady
assist him on the trial, Brady having had
no previous knowledge of the case. "Go
on and open your case fully, use all your
points without regard to me-" said Brady
: Mr.. Marsh did so, and sat down, wonder
ing what new matter Mr.. Brady could
, find to say. To his astonishment Brady
rose and presented seven new and strik-
: ing points.

1t matters little where I was born.

Whether they shrank Mt the cold worlds scorn,
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure:
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,

In world of sorrow. sin and care:

Or live till my bones of flesh are bare;

On the faded cheek of my fellow man,

Or on the land, or on the sea

And marks my brow with his loving touch,
As one that shall wear the vietOrs crown,

DISH-WATER sTORIEs.-Mrs. Har-

Anecdotes of James Il. Brady.
THE BAKER TRIAL,

The trial of Baker for the murder of
Poole furnished notable instance of
Mr. Brady's intrepidity III behalf of a
client. 1t was at the height of the
" Know-Nothing" excitement, and Poole,
after receiving the fatal bullet, having
exclaimed, 81 die an American" sue
ceeded in causing himself to be regarded
as martyr to the cause. Lingering for
days with-as the post-mortem proved
a bullet deeply imbedded in his heart,
the interest and excitement became in
tense; and, on the day of his funeral,
twenty thousand men walked in solemn
procession behind the coffin of the mar
tyred rough" In such state of pub
lie feeling Baker was put on trial for his
life. AT the opening of the charge by
the judge, aroused by its tenor, Mr.. Bra
dy seized pen and commenced writing
rapidly, Indignation showing itself in
his set lips and frowning brow. The mo-
ment the judge had ceased he was on his
feet and began: You have charged the
jury thus and thus. / protest against
your so stating it." The judge said he
would listen to the objections after the
jury had retired. "No," exclaimed the
indignant orator, 81 choose that the ju-
ry shall hear those objections )" and, de
flying interference, he poured forth inn
petuously forty-fve separate and formal
objections, COUGHING them all emphati-
cally in words of personal protest to the
judge. The force of the judges charge
on that jury was pretty effectually brok-
en-. The indignation of the advocate at
this time was real, not simulated; and
he, at least, of the New York bar, dared
to defy and to denounce injustice, even
when clad in ermine. OF such were
those brave, elder members Of the legal
profession, who, in former days and 9th
er lands, kept alive the fires of civil lib
erty.
After two trials here he obtained a
change of venue, and the trial was trans
ferred to Newburg. This gave rise to
another incident, which Brady was fond
of telling, especially when he wished tc
disarm prejudice against the looks Of
any witness or client. The trial was to
be held before Judge Charles A. Pea
body, in the Supreme Court. The judge
lawyers, high sheriff, deputies, and pris
oner all went up in the ears to Fishkill
!. The streets were crowded by thousands
eager to see the prisoner. As they pass
ed to the boat to cross over TO Newburg
the judge happened to take the arm O
High Sheriff Willets. Some one recog
nizing the sheriff, pointed out his com
J panion as the accused murderer, witt
"Don't you see his id bloodthirst,
face!" fancying, as Brady would say
: they saw all the lineaments of a bruta
, murderer in the calm, bland features G

We Live i'm Three Climates.

In this country we have at different seasons
Of the year the temperature Of three climates.
Our Springs and Autumns have q softness and
mildness that belong only. TO the Temperate
Zones; our Mid.summers are torrid, and our
Mid.winters almost arctic in their frigidity.
These changes, involving variation OF from
ninety to one hundred degrees Of Fahrenheit
during the year are upon the whole conducive
to health and long life but they tend TO entail
upon us some distressing complaints which can
only be escaped BY the exercise of due care and
the use Of proper antidote when the system is
pre-disposed to contract them. The chief and
most ANNOYING of these disorders is dyspepsia,
once supposed to be incurable, but which, since
the introduction of HOSTETTERS STOMACH
BITTERS, now about twenty years ago, has
proved to be perfectly manageable disease.
In the Spring and Fall, but more especially in
the Fall the symptoms Of dyspepsia are geLer.
ally aggravated. The profuse expenditure ef
she animal fluids under the burning sun OF Sum
NOR is apt TO leave the stomach weak and indo-
lent and incompetent to the task of perfect
digestion 1t requires a tonic which will rouse
IL from its lethargy ana brace and invigorate
without irritating or intiaming it, This tonic
has been provided in the wonderful vegetable
preparation which has replaced, in a great
measure all the old palliatives formerly pre-
scribed by physicians under the false idea that
the disorder could not be radically cured. The
success Of HOSTETTERS BITTERS in all the
varieties of dyspepsia acute or chronic, has
effsctually exploded this fallacy, and it is now
recommended as q specific for Indigestion by
some Of the most eminent members of the med
zeal profession.

WANT OF UNIFORMITY AND
HOW WE PREVENT 1T.
The want Of uniformity in Boots and Shoes, 1t

other kind of manufactured goods. In order TO
protect ourselves and customers, We make it
rule not to receive or place on sale any goods
not regular and uniform, except they be too
low in price to allow of uniformity. To insure
this every pair OF Boots and Shoes that enters
our store is carefully examined and rejected I'M

GOODS Equal TO SAMPLES.
BUYERS cannot generally devote the time
necessary to examine beyond the samples
shown. By our system of examination and re-

goods inferior to samples. Aside from the
recognized duty Of dealing as we would be dealt
by we regard it as pecuniarily our interest 80
to act as to secure and retain the confidence OF
all who may favor us with their trade.

Cheapest Houses to trade with, we shall sell our
goods at the very lowest market rates.
