Iaur,. n. Fair.

Fresh evtlelecs of the murder
ous propensity Of Laura d. Fair,
have lately come to light. She is
lWw represented with having plot
ted and almost succeeded IN procnr-
ing the death of Judge Dwirelle,
Judge Of the District Court OF San
Francisco. This occurred while
she was in prison awaiting her trial.
I}y her Eascilatiops, sllesucccedei IN
pcrsuading Swele by the ''ame OF
Bird, the waiter who brought her
meals, to engage to poison the
Judge, by putting poison in his
food at the restaurant where ne
was in the habit of eating. The
poison was procured, but the plan
failed for want Of opportunity She
then directed the Swede to go to
the Judges residence, to ring the
bell, and when shown into the sit
ting room, to seek OCCASION to put
poison into liquor which he would
find on the sideboam in that room.
This the Swe,le determined not to
do, and shortly afterwards he and
Mrs. Fair quarcled. Several
months later the Swede became
sick, and thinking the grim monster
had seized him for his prey, he
made the above confession. Since
his recovery, he continues to assert
its truthfulness. Other evidences,
however, are accumalating in cor
roboation. Charles n. Clint, =
,countryman and intimate friend Of
Bird, says that before these dcvilish
revelations reached the authorities,
Bird, III 4 state Of nervous uneash
ness, detailed the whole plot to
him, and that lie dissuaded him
from it :; and that before they part
ed, Bird took snail vial Of pois-
Oh from his pocket, which he said
he had procured at thu direction Of
the murderess to poison Judge
DwillelIe, and threw it into the
water, this conversation having &C.
curred on Greenwich wharf. These
are some Of the facts as printed in
san Francisco journals. They
show Mrs. Fair to be most dam
gerons and blood thirsty in her dis
position and character--a specimen
Of total deprayity entirely total.

TERRIBLY Lively"


COLUMBUS, Feb. 16.-There was terri
bly, lively scene in the Senate to-day over
the Kemp-Saylor contest. Lieut.. Gov.
Mueller ruled that Kemp as an interested
party, could not vote, which rulingthe Demo
Gratis denounced as prejudging the case
before the Senate had taken action. Great
confusion ensued, and the Senate acted like
frst-class lunatic asylum out for a holi-
day. Screams, yells, shouts and curses
rent the air, men and boys standing on the
sofas and desks, vieing with the Senatorial
uproar. The Democrats put on their hats,
and one passed out exelaiming "The Presi-
dent has taken the reins of this Govern
ment to run it himself, Cd d-n him,
to hell" Mr.. Schiff denounced Mueller as a
knsve, etc. Amid this perfect babel, the
Radical contestant Saylor is supposed to
have been voted in and duly sworn.

ADOG WHICH DOES NOT FORGET
ANINJURY.

AN INJURY.
From the Bridgeport Comm Standard.
There is a large Newfoundland dog in
this city, about ten years old, which is
doubtless one of the most knowing speci-
mems of the canine family living. When
it was about six months of age, a couple Of
young men, in order to have a little fun,
tied a tin kettle to its tail and sent it run
ming through the streets. II was sport for
the bows, but the act was never forgotten by
the dog. Till this day it shows signs Of dis
pleasure at the sight of either ofthose young
men. One OF them removed from the place,
and several years after the tin-kettle affair
he was visiting in the city, and called at the
residence Of the dogs owner. The dog
hearing the voice of the young man inside
the house, resorted to a number of devices
to gain admission. Upon being admitted it
sprang for the throat Of the visitor, with
Jaws extended. Thefamily ,interfered, Of
course, and the dog was removed from the
house. From that day (when the kettle
was tied to his tall to this, neither of those
young men can enter the gate leading to the
house if the dog is at home. On one oc-
casion a beggar called at the back door for
something to eat, and was plentifully sup
piled by the good old lady of the house.
While passing out through the yard the
beggar threw away some of the food, the
dog saw {, and, taking the unthankful so
Hcitor Of aims by the leg Of the pantsloons,
walked him hurriedly out through the gate.
No bsggar is permitted by that dog to en-
ter the gate since. A negro once kicked
his dog, and it has had such dislike for all
persons of color since, that not one, with
its permission, is allowed on its premises.
A few years sincethe owner Of the dog was
taken sick and died. The dog was most
deeply affected by the event, and refused to
be comforted for many days and weeks
thereafter. When the bell was tolled for
the funeral the dog seemed to understand
its mournful import, and from that day 10
this the tolling of the bell causes the dog 10
break forth in the most dismal walings.

How the Stokes Trial may Relieve

New YORK, Feb. 16.-Owing to the alb
sence off jurors Stokes case is adjourned to
Monday.
The indicted Ringites are greatly inter
ested in the issue raised in the Stokes case
as to the regularity of the Oyer and Termi-
ner grand jury that indicted him. If Stokes
secures the setting aside of the Indictment
it will establish a precedent for this indict-
ment by the General Sessions of the anti
ring jury, as the empanelling of both was
alike. On this account it is said that John
Graham, though battling for Stokes, is
really seeking to save Tweed.

he was accorded that privilege.
Mr.. Beck then proceeded with his re-
marks. He did not intend to use any
billingsgate or slang or degrade the House
by any allusion which members would say
were not eminently proper. 1t was more
important to him that he should be right
and that the House should say that he was
right in the remarks for which be had been
arraigned in the Senate. In that speech he
had said that Gov. BroWnlow, of Tennessee,
had made a
