The SECOND TRIAL OF LAURA d. Fam Mrs.
Fair having been convicted, upon her trial at
San Francisco more than a year ago, of the
murder Of Mr. A. p. Crittenden on the 18th
November, 1870, her counsel carried the case
before the Supreme Court for revision and
upon atechnical point procured an order for
new trial. This commenced on Monday, and
during four days only three competent persons
were found to sit on the jury though about
seven hundred talesmen had been examined.
1t asserted that in this trial entirely distinct
line of defence will be adopted from that at
tempted before, and the champions of the
prisoner are now confident that at the worst she
will only be found guilty Of manslaughter in
the fourth degree. Emotional insanity in her
case was not SO successful plea as to warrant
its repetition. At the rate of progress SO for
we may calculate on jury being obtained by
the end of the month, and verdict may be
safely expected before election day.

We ore sorry to say that this speech does not
appear to have gone at any length into the
treatment Of local affairs. Personal praise
Of Mr. Herman as an eminent jurist
from his eloquent tongue was, of course, emil
nently in order, as the eulogy has the more
excuse coming from whilom republican to q
quondam democrat; but mere derision Of
General Dix and the ''bloody chasm' bust
ness does not come up TO the expectations from
the candidate to SO important an Office as the
Presidency of the higher branch of our State
Legislature. This is the more regretable as Mr..
Depew ought to be especially well-informed

touching upon the great business interests of

Our latest contribution to this branch of COM
munication is the construction of HERALD
telegraph line to MILESTONE Long Island.
The prime necessity for this was the want of O
rapid means of reporting the movements of
vessels on the Sound going to and from New
York There was no telegraph line ex-
listing, SO we put one up at our own
cost, and 1t is now opened. To meet the
commercial want of communicating promptly
with vessels passing up or down the Sound we
have thrown this open to the public, and mes

where necessary, for delivering the messages
aboard ship.
Now the development Of the telegraph, like
every advance in civilization, is born of par
ticular necessity. The man first to recognize
necessity of this kind will always have before
him rich harvest of honor and gain If he can
only procure the thing needed to meet it. The

ofjudgment, and none mere ready to &C
knowledge its discovery.
The deceased was s1eEsber Of tho Con
stitutional Convention Of this state, ant
the foremost member, influence considered
in that body. He represented La Fayett'
| county in the Senate for two terms. III
was the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this district in 1856 against Gov
Washburne.
In referring to him as public man, We
should not omit to mention that he wal
Gov. Dodge's competitor for the U. s.
Senate, and narrowly escaped election.
As a Judge, Charles Dunn was unsur-
passed in purity rs lawyer, we regard
him as the Nessor of the Wisconsin Bar
at all times courteous to the Bench and
kind to every member of the bar, as we'll
as every officer of the court. He exploded
the idea that Judge could not return
from the bench to the bar and make de-
cent lawyer.
As politician, the "rols" which pleased
him least, he was 'open and above board !"
he nailed his colors to the mast, and none
ever misunderstood him. His political
views did not happen to agree with ours.
but that makes no difference with our
view of the man, the purity of his motives,
and the sublimity of his character.
We have hitherto referred to Judge
Dunn as a Judge, legislator, lawyer, and
politician, but when we come to the last,
Judge Dunn as MAN. we frankly admit
that we arc unequal TO the occasion. he
was real christian, because he believed
in the Golden Rule. lie was not demon
strative. He was governed by high
moral code. He was honorable. lie
scorned hypocrisy. He would freely for
give the ebullition of passion, but he dss-
pissed mean action and the psrpetrator.
He was q fine convsrsationalist, and an
instructive one too, if you we're one that
he deemed worthy, otherwise, you might
pass with the ordinary coursesies Of the
day. lie was the type Of consistent
gentleman. As q speaker. Judge Dunn
was not an orator-in common phrase
but he was terse, concise. clear, convin-
cling, cool and calm in his manner, svincing
great tact either before court or jury.
We have had him. He is gone. Lot
us drop a silent tear to his memory.

LOST AND FOUND"


at was meet that we should make mcr
ry and be glad; for this thy brother was
dead and is alive again, and Was lost and
is found"
Hon James Ross, of Madison, Wis,
to whom the above language is peculiar
ly applicable, lectured on the subject Of
Temperance at the P. NJ. Church, In this
village, last evening, to an over crowded
audience.
Mr.. Ross, according to his own story,
has sounded all the depths and shoals
Of dissipation, consequent upon the use Of
Intoxicating liquors, until, by an acct
dent which well nigh cost him his life,
being capsized in sail boat on one of
the lakes surrounding the capital Of our
State, in dark, tempestuous night. with
three Of his comrades, two Of whom were
drowned, he carnc to the firm determine
ton that reformation or condemnation
was the alternative. He thereupon made
the solemn and determined vow to never
drink another drop OF intoxicating liquors
The reader can well imagine how an ell
oquent and highly cultivated man, as Mr.
Ross is, would deal with SO important
subject under such complication of diff
cult circumstances No man can describ,
the evils of intemperance but he who ha.
felt them, and when Mr.. Ross felt the old
dark shadows of his former feelings creep
ing upon him, as we occasionally fanciet
he did. he would throw force aud feeling
into the subject that ran through TIT
audience like an electric current, and al
present seemed to feel the very sensa-
tons Of the speaker.
His lecture was eloquent, impressive
and noble, and was received with enthu.
siasm aud sincerity.
