Mrs. Wellman, going home at night,
from her millinery store, was attacked by
two disguised rut1ians, who filled her
mouth, eyes, nose and ears with vitriol,
which burned her horribly. 1t is one of
the worst of the ku klux outrages yet re-
corded, and we trust will be vigorously
ferreted out by the President, and severe
ly punished. 1t didn't happen in one of

Love in Haying Time Again, with Little

of Jacobs service for his wife, reversed
to illustrate Abby's service for y husband,
even to the care of ilocks and herds
moved not the hard-hcarted interpreters
of the law and the facts. In vain the plea
that the keeper of n mans chest-key and
of his spare shirts must of necessity be
the keeper Of his heart. Vain the photo

motto of Forget Nc Not.

One hears the clnk-clink Of the scythc

out dissenting voice they agreed with
me. | believe they surrendered in good
faith, and would have lived up to the
very letter of the agreement, and, in my
opinion, if there had been no reconstruc-
ton acts of Congress, and the armies
been left at the time to settle all questions
of difference between the different Sec
tons Of the country, the people would at
once have become quiet and peaceable.

stave jointing machine we have noticed, derry

Another of those insanity murder

Another of those insanity murder
trials. that of Mrs. Fair for the shooting
of Judge Crittenden at San Francisco
has just terminated in verdict of muir
der. Every considerate person will re-
joice at it. The collision with and tho
apology for bloodshed which has charac-
terized so many verdicts in years past
and the encouragement of feigned in
sanity for purposes of murder, are to be
no more. Whoever shall in future pre-
sumo to waylay and kill, from motives of
hatred or revenge, is to receive the pun
ishment provided for murder. The errors
of the public sentiment and the weak
sympathy of juries, are being rapidly
cured.

Quarrel over the Spells.

A suit is going on in the U. s. Court
at Portland, between William A. Crom.

$4,000, the informer's share of forfeited
contraband goods. The parties were
revenue detectives, and Cromwell claims
that he didn't get a fair 'divy' of the
spoils The seizures were made in Bel
fast, and witnesses have been summoned
from this locality. AS evidence that he i:

and that Bingham expected that he would
have it, Cromwell introduces the follow

PORTLAND. March 3. 1867.

FRIEND CROMWELL: l wrote you quite
hastily yesterday. The Belfast offenders have
proposed terms which Mr.. DevereuX will ex-
plain to you.
Mr.. Devereux is of the opinion that you and
l are entitled to the ntormanf's share of what
is paid as penalty for goods brought or sold by
Howe and Anderson, other than the goods that
were brought in the Wakula, which it is agreed
is about one half | think he is right about
this, except what may be outside agreement or
understanding between the parties, of which,
so far as you are concerned, you know of
course made between them. One-fourth of the
informant's share will amount to about S1 200.

We must meet and have sit down when the
fox is skinned. Write sure.
Yours as ever, BINGHAM.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says that in the event
the subject of San Domingo annexation is
brought up at the approaching extra ses-
sion of the Senate its fate may be easily
foreshadowed. He remarks further
Thepassive friends ofannexation are bare
ly in a majority, if, indeed, they do number
a majority, while the earnest advocates Of
it are less than a fourth of quorum. As
annexation could not get q two-thirds vote
as the Senate now stands, and in the present
light as regards the island, the project of
annexation could not get two-thirds vote
by any turn it could take The Senators
leading in the matter are aware of this. and
IL Is not probable that the subject will be
alluded to in the coming session.

Mary Perkins, called by plaintiff testified
am sister to plaintiff; made my sister visit nj
Furnllam's in July 1865; had a conversation
with defendant down in his potato field: he
said he was engaged to be married to my sister
in the fall, her birth day. My sister had the
care of his chest, keys and money. He said
that Abbie would soon be mistress of his house.
Emma Perkins, called by plaintiff testified ::
am mother of plaintiff; while Abbie was home
on visit she made known to me her engage
ment to Farnham; she wrote me a letter in
1864 about the courtshp; but l cannot find it.
TESTIMONY FOR DEFENCE,
The defendants side of the case was begun
by his own testimony. He is an intelligent
looking. man, inside of 80, with the general an
pearance of smart and Woodworking Young
farmer. Like good many men who are new
to the witness-stand, he insisted upon testify
ing too much, emphasizing his statements, and
arguing his own case, SO that Mcclellan had
good deal Of trouble in keeping him within
bounds. His testimony concerning his alleged
courtship of Abbie, and of the genuine one OF
his present wife, was given in an open and
