AN EXCITING SCENE IN COURT.

| The trial of Charles Kramer. indicted for rob
hing silverWare from the residence of Colonel John
G. Maynard, ended ca Saturday evening in the
| condemnation of tilc accused, and produced a
| heartrcnding scene seldom cuuacd. even in a
criminal court. Kramer has been three times tried
for this offence. On the first occasion the verdict
was set aside on the ground that Judge Lake gave
the jury instructions in the absence of the defend
ants counsel On the second trial the Jury dis
agreed, and the third was that which ended on
Saturday. The principal difficulty in the case
seemed to consist in the fact that the indictment
charged the defendant with 'bur@lar>," whereas
the testimony rendered it possible that the offence
which he really committed was receiving, with Il
guilty knowledge that the svCrWarc WAS stolen,
| and that the burglary WAS committed 10y Il man
named Meyers. who is also indicted for the offence.
The evidence in the ease WAS concluded on Friday
evening, and the Whole Of Saturday was consumed
in addresses to the jury, more than usual care be
ing bestowed upon the case, Judge Lake Went
minutcly through the evidence. calling the attcn-
lion of the jury 10 such portions We're pertinent
to the issue. His charge occupied one hour in lis
delivery. During nearly the whole of the trial the
defendants wife, who Is Il young woman of pre-
possessing appearance. about twenty years of age
sat with two young children on her knees She
WAS placed on the stand to testify on behalf Of her
husband. and the eager anxiety which She display
| c TO shield the loved though crring one. elected
much sympathy on her behalf. After m absence
OF about half an hour the jury returned into the
court with verdict of guilty. and strong re-
| commentator TO mercy. When the Young wife
heard the announcement which consigned the
father of her babes to clon'S CELL her feelings
perfectly oVcrpOWcrcd her. and a scene followed
that beggars description. Several of the jurvmcn
Wept like children, and tears stood in even the law
ycrs' eyes who are not naccn>tomcd 10 similar
scenes. Even the Court seemed affected. and
1t was some time before an attempt was made to
put an end to the painful occasion by adionrnin@
the Court. So soon she partially recovered her
self the wifes reason seemed 10 assume it, SWAY
she thrust her children into their fathers arms, As
if she said to herself 1.-The law has taken away he
who ought to find bread for my children. now let
the law provide for them also. She then hastily
fled from the court. SO soon rs She reached the
top OF the stairs her motherly feelings became up
pcrmoSt, and She loudly exclaimed, mo. will
have my childrcn: they are all ! have got now "
She then hastily rrturncl, and eagerly ~cZlng her
! little ones, LEFT the court. She had moi, however
gone far when the love for her husband. which loi
Il moment seemed stamped out, returned with in
creased ag,or; she rushed 10 his side. and, without
one word of uphraidin@. chung to him. and ii was
long ere the weeping spectators could tear her

A good story is told of the managers of
one of the horse railroads to one of our subur-
ban towns who desired to obtain permission
to run trains Ill the request OF the people. on
Sunday. The proposition was very stub
bornly and no doubt very honestly resisted
by certain strict Observers of the day, living
in the town in question, who insisted that the
accommodation was not needed, that among
other things the bringing of strangers there
from the city would deprecate property fifty
per cent, and furthermore some of the OPP
ponents sold out their stocks. declaring they
would never own in the road unless il ceased
running on Sunday. Nevertheless, trains
ran, the public were accommodated, real
estate in that vicinity took start and the
liercest opposcr refused to sell his estate after
two years time, at twenty per cent. advance
instead of fifty decline. Improvements pro-
crossed; the very church OF the opposing
gentlemen made money to meet the wants

Henderson, at his establishment on
Main street, seems to give industrious
attention to the welfare Of his customers.
He has been in Delaware over two years
and has a frst-class reputation as man
ufacturer of neatly fitting suits. Always
closely watching the styles, his monthly
report Of New York fashions is among
the finest in the world. His cutter, Mr.
Fred. Borneman, formerly Of Cincinnati,
has a reputation as a cutter that can on
ly be obtained by hard labor and large
experience. He has cut for three years
past in one Of the largest custom houses
in the West. Those of our citizens, both
in town and country, who desire a good
fitting suit of clothes we would recon-
mend to call at this house, see their
styles of goods and learn the manner in
which they do business. Above all
things, in dress, we Americans like a
good fitting garment Major Hender-
