The Lunberton IN. c. Robesontdn tells
that Stephen Lowery was present at JUS
tees court In Burt Swamp township, in the
Scr1ff1ctown district, short time since. He
was armed to the teeth, holding in bis hand
all the time Spencer rifle, and having his
belt stuck full of revolvera. There was on
the ground large number of mulattoes and
half dozen whites. He seemed entirely at
ease, and during the progress of the trial
manifested considerable interest in it. The
trial was held in the church., close log
building, from which it would have been
impossible for him to escape otherwise than
BY the door, yet he seemed to feel no appre-
tension, and but for the fact that he con.
stantly kept his rife in bis hands stranger
would not have seen anything in his manner
to betray the peculiar relation in which he
stood to society.
A grand exposition will take place in 1873
at the Sydenham crystal palace, near Lon.

partment Of Arts and Sciences will be espe-
caly full, and will form the distinguishing
feature of the exposition Of 1873.

soEs.-R. Louis, November 17.-At 8 O'Clock
tonight, while large number OF gentlemen
were congregated In the yestibule Of the
Southern Hotel, Captain Edward Dix, n well
known steamboat man, walked up to Rober!
w. Estlin, of New Orleans, who was con-
yersing with some friends, and deliberately
shot him In the left jaw. Estiin fell, and
while down he was again shot by Dix in the
left side. ...
After the shooting Dix gave his pistol to
one of the clerks of the hotel, and was taken
by his friends to the Office Of the chief of Pc.
lice, who ordered him to be locked up on
four counts.
Estlin WAS taken to bis room, where his
wounds were examined by surgeon, and
found to be very slight The cause Of the
shooting cannot be ascertained, both parties
being very reticent; but 1t appears ehat the
