The body of an old colored man, Silas
Green of Vernon, who was missing and sup
posed to be murdered, was discovered, Mon
day evening, about seventy rods from his
residence, at the foot of tree, in sitting
posture, with Il parcel of leaves and twigs
tied up in handkerchief by his side, and

indicate that he had tried to make fire, but,

found it precisely where he had dreamt. The
old mans keys, wallet and a little change
were found undisturbed in his pocket. A
post moftem examination was made, but
nothing indicating violence was discovered,
and it is evident now that the suppositions Of

Lowell, Mass. IA. Hon. Frank Jones,
the well-known brewer of Portsmouth, n. H.,
was in this city to-day, and on taking out his
watch to see about train time, was factiously
asked by Maj. Nj. Donavan to give it 10 him.
He replied that he would if the Major would
take him to Portsmouth in a wheelbarrow, to
the door of the Rockingham House. 1t was
accepted on condition that if the Major failed
he was to pay dinner for fifty of his friends
in Lowell. The watch valued at $475 was
handed over to party in trust, and deposited
in one OF the city banks. The trip is to COM
mence at II o'clock Monday next. Jones
says that if the Major is successful he will
have band of music three miles out from
Portsmouth to meet him.. Jones and pona-
van weigh about 235 pounds each. 1t was
further arranged that all of the accompanying
party should 20 on foot. Further prelimi.
naries about the barrow were arranged. No

Washington Matters.

Brimidi, the artist who has decorated the
Capitol, has painted a life-like and well exc
cuted portrait of the lamented VIM. Pitt Fes-
sender, for citizen of Maine.
Mrs. Woodruff has been at the Capitol urg-
ing Senators and Representatives to remove
all restrictions on female suffrage, and elo-
quently demonstrating her peculiar views.
At private meeting of members of the
Republican National Committee and of the
Union League of America in Washington on
Monday, to lay out the work of the coming
Presidential campaign, it was decided to in
augurate vigorous and active canvass.
Mr.. Edward Fenno, who was for many
years bookseller in Augusta, Maine. where
he held several responsible offices, and who
has been for the two past years aR officer of
the House of Representatives here, has been
appointed Keeper of the Stationary of the
Senate. This is a pleasant recognition Of
the services of a genial and Industrious son
of Maine.
! The committee on ways and means has
acted favorably on the bill to remit the tax on
sales of vessels assessed under the act of
1865, ard will report it to the House of Rep
resentatiyes at an early date. None of the
committee have yet declared themselves upon
the subject of the tobacco tax.
1t is denied at the White House that Min
lister Schenck has asked to come home, or
that he be relieved of the duties of his mis-
sion. There are no indications that any ac-
ton is likely in consequence of the misister's
connection with the Lithe Emma Mine trans
action.
Attorney General Akerman rendered his
resignation to the President Wednesday, and

floor and basement, and four are in the two
upper stories. These each comprise six rooms
with closets, pantrys, &C., and rent from $50
to Sl25 each On the east side Rev. Geo. w.
Quinby has built three small, neat cottages
aifording convenient and tasteful homes. 1t
is houses of this class that our city is much in
need of, and we think capitalists would obtain
a higher interest for their investment by
erecting such dwellings TO rent, than by pur-
chasing large tracts of land for house lots,
and waiting for rise" At Stacyville-
Western Avenue-one of the growing suburbs
OF the city, two or three new houses OF mod
crate cost have been built. VIM. ii. Vivian
has built fine two-story dwelling house on
Sewall street, which he now occupies. Har-
mon Payne has built a twostory ell on his lot
on the same street, with the intention ofput-
ting up front the ensuing season. Ambrose
+. Arnold has erected a two-story house with
ell on Western avenue. We should not for
get the machine shop built the past season on
Bangor street, by Messrs. Allen, Small & Co.
Among the engagements and improvements
to dwellings which have been made, we notice
those of Charles Iicwins on the Gilman Smith
place, State street; John II. Hartford, Oak
street; Sumner Barton, east side of the river;
Mrs Mary Emery, Flagg street; J. NJ. San
born, and A. G.. Longfellow, Green street;
Mrs. John Macarthur and o. C. Whitehouse,
Winthrop street; Col. Dewitt and l.. l.. Lin
coin, Sewcli street; j. a. Richards, State
street; Capt. Charles Mclaughlin, Court
street; Gen. B. F. Harris, in rear Of State
House; n. G. Ware Spring street.
II is gratifying to note that better style of
dwellings are constantly being erected adding
net only o the size but to the architectural
character of our city. We should rot forget
to mention, rs coming within the scope of
our present notice, the new chapel on the
grounds OF the Insane Asylum, a building OF
fine proportions. built of brick, Il by "A feet,
the exterior Of which is completed. Besides
giving character to noble and humane in
stitution, this building is an ornament to the
city.
From the above it will be seen that our
building progress during the year has been
considerable, AMI that we are steadily enlarg-
ing our borders and acquiring more impor-
lance as an enterprising business city.

The Wharton Case.

Annapolis, Nd, IA. In the Wharton trial
! Henry w. Snowder who nursed ketchuln,
described his symptoms infinitely. DR.. Will
liams was called to the stand and prepared a
dose of yellow jessamine, such as he pre-
| scribed for Gen. Ketchum. The witness
stated that the medicine as now prepared by
DR.. Williams did not have the same appear
ance as the dose prepared by Mrs. Wharton
and administered by him to Gen. Ketchum,
which had thick, cloudy, lead colored ap-
pearance, where the preparation now be-
fore him was clear and transparent. Forty
additional drops were added and it was still
unlike the dose administered to Gen. Ketch-
um. On cross-examination the witness
stated that he had placed tartar emetic in a
lumber with jessamine and water and it
did not produce the color he observed in the
dose administered by him to Ketchum. The
witness stated laudanum was also placed in
tnmbler with tartar emetic and iessamine and
the mixture produced brown color which
in some lights might have appeared gray or
lead color. Eugene Van Ness testified that
lie resided in Baltimore was at Mrs. Whar-
tons house about the oath of June and Gen.
ketchum was there. Mr.. Sylvester, do not
answer the question l am about to ask you
until you have heard from the court. wish
you to state to the jury how you came to be
at Mrs. Wharton's house on that day, if well
or sick and describe your feelings and SYM
toms fully, and how you happened to be there.
The defense objected and lengthy argu-
ment ensued.
