FROM the Lawrence (han.) Tribune, Dec. -
For the past month or more there have been
rumOrs flying on our streets 10 the effect that
Mrs Ruth has been 'conductirg herself in IN lst
shameful manner with one OF the prisoners.
Usually rumOrs will Not do to depend upon. Bat
We have investigated them carefully, and are
forced 10 believe that they have considerable
foundation. Certain incidents and circum-
stances in Mrs. Ruth's prison life point bat TOO
broadly TO the suspicion that her relations with
young Frenchman in the Jail have not been
what they ought 90 be. IL would also appear
that Mrs. Ruth has likewise been too intimate
with johnson, the well-known witness in the
MedlicOtt case. For some time past she has pre-
tended 10 be very kind to him. About a week
or 30 ago he became slightly indiSpOsed. Mr..
Ruth prepared a cup OF tea and a dose OF vine
gar tor him. which he took. Almost Immeai-
ately after taking these preparations he became
very sick and appeared ii lac had taken arsenic
We undersiandthat the physicians who ATTENDED
him were OF opinion that his sickness wa caused
by arsenic, and treated him for such. We saw
johnson last Monday. His tace WAS still swollen,
with dark lines under his eyes, and pre- sentcd a
fearful spectacle. We asked him wha WAS the
matter. He answered that he had been very
sick. and had come near dying. Since hiS sick
ness he has been allowed to sleep i'm the Office Of
the jail. Last Sunday, a. Mrs Ruth was pass
ing or standing in the office, she went up 10
menced to stroke his hair saying, Poor te low
johnson pushed her away with his hand. and
said: $50 away from me; don't want 20 have
ANYTHING more 10 dO with yoa''
We might relate many other incidents which
have come 10 our knowledge, aud viii. here
after. our readers will draw their own cOnciu-
slOns nom What We have related.

The Situation i'm Rochester To DAY.

1hE MILITARY STILL GUARDING THE JAIL.
ROCHESTER, y. V, Jan. 3-From ; TO n this
morning the city was comparatively quiet. Four
companies OF the 9th regiment are guarding
the jail and it, approaches, and loaded cannon
are placed to command the bridges. At II
O'Clock the crowd assembled. and there Is good
deal OF boot ng at the military, but no overt
act was committed. At hali-past IL some one
placed on canal boat in the slip OF Court St,
"A flag on which were the words, "Agenge your
IrO;her>." Brig. Gen. Clarke tore II down, and
the crowd rushed uPOn him, and for a short
time he was in peril, OUs was released, an Ere
arms were handed 10 him by his friends. The
sheriff has ordered out the remaining six com
panics Of the 5ith regiment. and they are now
asst mhiCd at the arsenal IL is feared there will
he more trouble this afternoon and evening.
The authorities are determined To defend the
roll, bat they wish the negro Howard well out

evening show that the soldiers were peltcd with
brirkbats and stones, and several were injured
thereby. The order TO charge the mob was

ALL HoUsE PLANTS, il is said, flourish better
for being watercd with water several degrees
warmer than the atmosphere in which thew are
grown. AIR. X. q. Williams, OF the Vermont
normal school, gives TO tue department OF agri-
culture his testimony on this subject. a follows:
last inter we had about one hundred plants
in the house, and usually gave them warm
water, and very frequently water thai was much
too warm for the hand; some water al or very
near the boiling-point has been poured into the
saucers OF the pots and just ON the side. We
have about forty persons In the family, from
different parts of the country, and their testi-
mony is that they never saw 90 fine geraniums,
heliotropes, fuchsiss, verbenas. passion wers
oleanders. These plants show very marked i'm
provement; Others have iourished finely ader

TIE OvERHAULTNG OF THE FLoRIDA.-The
facts OF the affair OF the firing OF q Spanish gov
mt ship upon the Florida on the high seas
are said 10 be substantially these:-''After tn
Florida had sailed from st. Thomas a Spanisi
man-of-war followed and fired blank cartr!tig
at her. The Florida continued on her way IN,
the man-Oi- war then fired a ball cartridge Tn
lorlda was then stopped and a boat seat from
the Nasco NuneZ die Balboa. the Ger in charr
having orders to examine the FiDri,la'S pap r.
As Iio fauit was found with the papers. til Flor
IDA was allowed to proceed on her VOYAGE"
Is believed that If this act was done by the arl.l
OF Spain, or is upheld by her, when brought to
her notice grave consequences may ensue. The
probability is, however, that she will ,iisclaim
all responsibility for il. The rule is that out
side the marine jurisdiction, there can be no
forcible visiting on the high seas by one nation
OF the vessels OF another in the time of peace fuI
any sort of inquiry. This we'll understood prin
cirle of International law has been SO often vim
Glcated by this country that Spain can scarcely
be expected 10 violate il in the present instanc,
WIN Impunity- However, she will be likely to
make an apology, as our own gOvernm mt did
for the inGiscreet patriotism of Captain wilke,
In overhauling the British steamer Trent, anG
taking from her the persons OF Messrs. Slidel
and Mason.
