The Trial of the Young Reid's.

The trial of Ambrose and Mack Eeid.
two well known and highly cOane.ie
young men of this county, as accessories
before the fact in the killing of John Ham
ilton West, by negroes several weeks ago
came to close on Thursday. The trial
was before Esqs. c. c. Ruddle and ]. R.
ChappelI; Hogan & Hogan prosecuting, and
Henry MeCorry defending. After day
and haf consumed in FSSaming VIZ
nesses and in speeches, the Court bound
the young men over to the Circuit Court in
bond Of one thousand dollars each. The
bonds were promptly given. No case for
years has excited more interest, but the
trial just had has materially softened pub
lie opinion with regard to the young Reds.
They are quite youthful, the oldest being
only 81 years of age. As the Circuit Court
meets soon, and as all The facts will be
made public then-we will make no further
comments on the trial just closed.

OF course, but charging a nominal price for

ABOUT 5tASOSs.

The Olympia Tribune contains the
following:
We have recently learned some
thing further concerning those very
Masons who SO abused us the other
evening, and We will relate the
circumstance right here, without
more ado. It seems that an unfortu-
nate woman in this place last Fall
became very destitute. She had
large family of small children, to
support whom, without means, in
come or assistance, was more than
she could do. Becoming indebted
to grocer to the extent of $50, and
being perfectly honest and anxious
to pay what was due from her, she
sent her furniture, bedding and
kitchen ware to the auction room.
with directions to sell, and turn over
to the grocer enough of the proceeds
to satisfy his claim. Now this poor
woman was not herself q Mason,
nor was ever her husband, brother,
or other relative; in fact, she was
under no obligations whatever to
them, nor they to her, and there was
not the least excuse for any officions
interference on their part. How
ever, the Society met in their hall, as
usual, precisely as they did on Satur-
day evening, and, without solicita-
ton or excuse, as said before, Que
brother stated the case, about as we
have, and appealed to those around
him for help. Pocket books were
brought out, and contributions freely
made, until there was enough and to
spare. Next morning, without pub
fishing to the world how he had ac-
compiished his object, this brother
paid the grocer, and sent the furni-
ture home, with purse of money
for the widows future assistance.
How we obtained this information is
neither here nor there; it is all true,
and we are prepared to prove it.
We are hungry for just such items,
and, in our crusade against Masonry,
we will not hesitate one moment in
publishing others of similar charac-
ter. We propose to uproot Masonry
and stand proudly on its ruins.

From the Idaho World.
DEATH OF An IDAHOAN.

From L. b. Britten Esq. :, who now
lives at Gold Hill, Nevada, we re-
ceived few days ago the following
extract from the Virginia Erening
Chronicle Of FEBRUARY 18th, giving an
account Of the death of Mr.. Slosson,
formerly a resident of this city, where,
for some time he was in the employ
OF Hon. q. w. Crafts. one Of our prom
inent merchants. Mr.. Slosson had n
wide circle OF personal friends in
Idaho, who receive with sorrow the
sud news of his ubtimely death.
DgAD.-Mr. Slosson, who was so
badly injured short time since in
the Savage mine, and who the Enter
prise says "is in fair way to recover,
though he still has before him many
a long day Of confinement and pain, !"
died this morning at the boarding
house Of Mrs. Plum on South Z
street. The accident which caused the
death Of Mr. Slosson was the caving
OF the clay wall while he was at
work in the Savage mine, and which
tore the flesh off the right side of the
body and caused some very painful
wounds from which his recovery has
always been considered doubtful.
The Masonic fraternity of Virginia
City will send his remains TO the Ma
sonic Lodge in San Francisco, of
which he was n member. The day
before the one on which Mr.. Slosson
was injured, he received letter
from brother in Phoebe in which he
related dream that he had the night
before. The letter says: II saw
you as plain as / ever saw you IN my
life, working in a mine a great many
feet underground, and saw the earth
slip away from its foundation and
cover you entirely, and that you
were almost killed when taken out.
| have been very uneasy in my mind
ever since then" Slosson took the
letter to the mine with him and read
it 10 several of the miners, who eau
toned him and told him to look out
rs it might come true, for the place
he was working in looked n little
dangerous. He however, paid no
attention to them. aud on the follow
ing night was caved upon and injured
in the same manner that his brother
stated in the letter.

i STORY OF srR1euE.

Mr.. Henry c., a young man we'll
known in the highest circles of Pa
risian society twrites the correspond
ent of the Swiss Times), had passed
the latter part of the Summer in
shooting on the estate of one of his
uncles. and had seduced the wife of
D., the principal game keeper.
After the young mans departure, the
keeper was informed of what had
passed by servant of the Chateau.
He said nothing to his wife, but de-
termined to be revenged. Last
Thursday NJ. C. went to see bis mis-
tress. The keeper, warned before
hand, was on watch, saw him arrive
and then hid himself near the house.
A quarter of an hour after M. C.'s
entrance into his dwelling, he went
toward the door. singing aloud as he
went. His wife heard him, and said
to III. c.: ''It is my husband! for
heavens sake hide yourself" !"
"Where?" She showed him cup
board. the only one in the house, and
through which passed the pipe of the
stove. be entered rapidly and closed
the door. "Cood morning, wifer'
said the keeper with his natural voice
and manner; light the fire and
make my breakfast; I am dying with
hunger" She obeyed; at the end of
a few minutes thick smoke issued
from the cupboard. She uttered an
exclamation of alarm. ssDear me"
said the husband with indifference.
1.-THE pipe has burst in the cupboard;
bnt it does not signify as it is empty
Il will have 1t mended tomorrow, =
and he made her blow the fire, and
affected not to hear the groan that
proceeded from the cupboard. The
fire was soon lighted aud he told his
wife to make him an omelet: she
obeyed, but the llial was too great
she tainted while breaking the eggs.
The husband paid no attention, made
his omelet himself breakfasted quietly
and went out. When few minutes
later the poor woman, who had re-
covered her senses, opened the closet,
IL G. was nearly asphyxiated; his
life is almost despaired Of.

A LADY's SEAT ON HORSEBACK. "A
