Stokes Convicted Of Manslaughter in
the Third Degree.

New YORK, October 29.-District At
torney Phelps concluded his address to
the jury in the Stokes case at 1920 to-
day. Mr.. Tremaine, for the prisoner,
submitted some points to the Judge for
the consideration of the jury, and the
Court took a recess.
At quarter past o'clock the Court
reassembled; and Judge Davis commen.
ced his charge to the jury.
The Judges charge terminated at AS
this afternoon having lasted exactly
three hours. Mr.. Tremaine then took
special exceptions to his Honor's con-
demnation Of is called emotional insani-
ty.
Judge Davis said he used the very Ian
guage of the Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Tremaine said he specially objec-
ted to the expression that the evidence
of insanity was very meagre, and asked
to have the question submitted to the
jury.
Judge Davis said he had submitted it
to them within the law.
Mr.. Tremaine also took exception to
a remark that insanity as rule involves
delusion, and that the prisoners ideas
seemed to have been based upon reality
and to his Honor saying the other hole;
in the cloak besides the'four in the breast
were not particularly material, as it was
not claimed that the fatal wound was
made through any of these.
AT the conclusion of Tremaine's ex.
.eption4 the case was given to the jury
who retired, and at 1925 sent fer Judge
Davis to repeat his definitions Of til,
various degrees Of crime in taking hs
man life, after receiving which the,
again retired.

In Woods Household Magazine for
November, the table of contents seems
spread for Thanksgiving feast, and
gives evidence that no efforts have been
spared that could add to its excellence.
"a Sermon on a Skinner" is not only
pleasing in its quaintness, and originali-
ty, but contains sound logic "Mrs.
Pomeroy's Pin Money" is capital. Cup
on the Stand" is another meritorious
sketch, by the popular writer, Kate w.
Hamilton. "Codfsh and Potatoes" by
Eleanor Kirk. is a short serial which
opens we'll. "Growing Aged Together"
by the Rev. Robert Collyer is well worth
the price of the years subscriptions; it is
full of this great mans eloquence-pow-
erful in its very simplicity. There are
many other interesting articles had we
space to mention them. The poetry in
this number is unusually good. A new
feature of the magazine is the introduc-
tion of pictures, and the illustration,
"Past, Present and Future, here given,
is exceedingly pretty.

Mother Shipton's Prophecy.

HoMBURG voR'D HOME,
July Goth, 1873.
To the Editor OF the Providence Journal.
An English friend has given me
copy of Mother Shipton's Prophecy in
1448," which is of SO remarkable and
prophetic a nature as to entitle it to re-
publication, especially in the United
States, as / question if it has ever been
seen or known there.
By some persons it may be supposed
10 be very clever, smart production of
I less remote parsonage. Be that as it
may, my friend informs me of its being
generally believed to have been as it
purports to be. Admiral Stopford tof
the English navy informs me, also, Of
his having seen, many years since, in
one of the suburbs of London, "Mother
Shipton's Tavern" which was indicated
by the sign of the good old dame, in a
red cloak, astride of broomstick, and at
this time, one of the London omnibuses
has "Mother Shipton" upon it, indica-
ting its route or termination Of it.
AS the paper from my friend states, it
was first published or known in 144S,
republished 1641, and again in Belfast
newspaper of January 29th, 1872.
1t has attracted much attention since
being in my possession, and many friends
of England, Scotland, and Ireland, are
kindly endeavoring to procure for me a
further account of the prophecy" "
with a memoir of it's author | have
personally written to the Northern
Whig, of Belfast, ireland, asking the
cooperation of it's editor or publisher
in assisting my efforts to know more OF
this wonderful production.
Perhaps the last line may be some
what appalling, but there it is, and your
readers may be assured that all can say
certain in reference to it, through your
courtesy, they shall know.

The Sacramento Record of a late date
says: can odd entry for premium was
made at the Pavalion last night. Mrs.

head. Four years ago she cut off her
hair, shingling it close to her head, and
it is five feet long, reaching within eight
inches of the ground when she is erect.
The hair is fine, strong, thick, and of a

When young man | was travelling in

night applied at log cabin for lodging
The occupants, a woman, refused it, say

chance to the storm, and she consented
that might lie down before the fire
In the night l heard them coming, and
scrambled up the chimney. Thinking
that was safe when at the top, stepped
over the roof, and jumping down at the
back of the cabin, struck plumb into
wolf trap. A scream of pain brought
the men and boys ont, and they declared
| deserved 4 worse punishment than
death; so they kept me both in the trap
and suspense until morning, and then
heading me up in hogshead, with no
light nor air but the bung hole, they
put me on sled, drove me some four
miles up hill, and then rolled me OH
to starve. This l undoubtedly should
have done, but for a singular occurrence.
The wolves smelIed me out and gather
ed around my prison, when one of them
in turning around. happened to thrust
his tail into the bung hole. 1t was my
I only chance. l caught a firm hold, and
held on like grim death to a dead dar
key, which frightened the wolf, of coursC
and he started down the hill followed
by the hogshead and me. Itwas very

slaves, worn by long travel, were brok

That is, in round Numbers, $4,000 less
Republican votes were cast at the recent
October election than Governor Noyes
receceived in 1871; and $1,000 less votes
were cast for the head of the Republi
can ticket than the Republicans cast last
year for Secretary of State; and 6S,000
more Republicans voted for Grant in
1872 than for Governor Noyes in 1878.
The falling off in the Democratic vote
is less marked than that of the Republi-
cans, and to that fact their success is
due. Mr.. Allen received $3.50 less
votes than were cast for Geo. w. Nc
Cook, the Democratic candidate for
Governor in 1871; and 1850 less votes
than were cast for Mr.. Wiley, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Secretary of State
last year; and 29,796 less votes than were
cast for Horace Greeley.
The total vote for Governor this year is
447 ,223, against vote of 52S,273 on
President last year-a difference of ST.
900 votes. OF these stay-at-home voters
it appears that (supposing the Prohibi-
ton and Peoples parties to have taken
about equally from the Republicans
and Democrats) about 10000 were Dem
ocrats and nearly 60,0o0 were Republi-
cans Cincinnati Commercial.
