In trials for murder which were brought before the

THE sHrRIDAE-EcHEL MURDER.
Thomas Sheridan, VINO, II Will be remembered,
was indicted Tor The murder OF Daniel Michel on the
25th OF June last, ala VINO, on Wednesday last,
pleaded guilty 10 maAsiarghter in the third degree,
was brought before the Co1rt yesterday Tor sentence.
Ills counsel read several alidavts which had been
made under oath, al OF which testified that up to
1he tilae OF his arrest he had borne an excellent
character.
Judge lngraHam, before passing sentence, dilated
very fully upon the great evils produced by the
cessive use OF Intoxicating liquor. Sheridan, he
said, was only one Of the many who lost everything
that was worth having in inns world by its use. TIE
fact OF his having received a good education only
tended 10 enhance the enormiiy OF the crime with
which he was charged. IL was fortunate thing for
him that the case had not gone 10 the Jury; they
result OF that would have been his ezplating the
crime " It'll his llIc IA IL was he must go to the
State Prison for three years.
laundering David Rescher, OH The 18Th OF September
last, WAS next placed al the bar: dis counsel, ".
the good character OF tho prisoner up to
the time OF the fracas which resulted liz
Sheridan, his client entirely without euuca-
ton, and what he did in this matter was wniie
under the Influence OF strong drink The Judge
said this like the previous case, was very lamenia-
ble Although the ignorance OF the prisoner was TO
be deplored, still he must have known the misery
and punishment for such u crime as numbering
quiet passer-by public thcroughfare.
The sentence OF the Court was that he should be
sent TO the State Prison for fifteen years.
H. Mannueli, who was charged with stealing
piece of cashmere from the store Of O. IL. Frey, No.
46 Leonard street, was sentenced 10 three months In

business largely increased and the tone OF the mar

brokers quite cheerful over the revived activity.
The best prices made at tne close OF the day.
The recent weakness IN Hannibal and st. Joseph

OF the preferred stock have Instituted proceedings
to prevent the payment OF the dividend Of three and
half per cent from the earnings OF the latter half
OF the current year. declared at the annual
