Stokes FOUND GUILTY.

The protracted and exciting trial of Stokes
for killing James Fisk, jr., III New York.
last year, was brought to close on Saturday
last, by the jury returning verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree. This result
was quite unexpected by many, and certain
| ly by Stokes. He turned ashy pale, at the
announcement and exhibited every sign of
terrible disappointment. His sister, who at
| tended the trial. was entirely overcome, and
wept aloud He was ably defended by Mr.. Ire
maine, and equally ably prosecuted by Mr.
Beach. Although guilty of murder in the
first degree" is the verdict of the jury. after
brief retirement, it does not follow as GER
tain consequence that he will be hung =
Doubtless every bubble and device known to
the ingenuity Of experienced criminal lawyers
will be resorted to for the purpose of new
trial, although this was his second, the jury
being unable to agree in the first. It re
mains to be seen whether the extreme penal
ty of the law will be enforced in this case
|lfit,is, it may be regarded as a new depart
|ure in the criminal proceedings of New York.
which may do much to arrest the alarming
disregard of human life, that has excited the
concern of all good citizens, and attracted the
almost daily denunciation of the press of that
city.
since writing the above, Stokes has been
sentenced to be hanged on the 28sh Of Feb
ruary, the shortest time that could be legally
allowed the murderer

SINGULAR CoINCIDENcE.-A correspond

Of the younger sons of Mr. Geo. Imboden,
now of Nelson county, but formerly Of Au-

She had a singular presentimcnt that she
would die on the 21st of the MONTH She was
born on the 2lst-engaged on the 21st-was
married on the 2lst, in the 2lst gear of her
aye, and died on the 2Ist. the anniversary Of
her marriage. She was evidently in the throes
of dissolution from Wednesday until Satnr-
day. On the 18th, fer hours her friends be-
lieved her to be dying. She rallied, inquir
ed the date. and said she would live until the
Dist, and did, though the doctors SAID she
could not live ten hours. Dr. Mcclure re
marked it was the most remarkable case of
teracity of life, after dissolution set in, he
had ever known or read Of.

Let MS hare the Scnlps.

The Apache war in Arizona, is progress
sing lively Gen. Crosk has his entire noun
ted force in the field, and moving in every
direction against the Indians. Numerous
CAPTURES Of Indian women and children are
reported. and killing Of warriors. We do
not much believe in these reports, except as
to the women and children. That is easily
accomplished. But the killing of Is or 90
warriors, is an entirely different thipg. The
Apaches do not fight in squadrons, but geu-
orally conceal themselves, and fight scatter
ine. We remember once to have been in a
campaign against the Navajoes who live North
west oft he Apaches Sometimes the troops
would make ght attacks on Indian camps,
and bring in trophies, in the shape of animals,
blankets, few old scrst.s and occasionally a
few women. On one Of these occasions the
officer commanding the attacking party, re-
ported to Maj. Bacchus, the commandant OF
the Post, Fort Defiance, that he had captured
the camp and killed Sarcillargos, noted
Indian brave, d chief of tie war party
This was cheering news and We all congratu-
lated ourselves that the wa was about over
But few mornings afterwards, this same
warrior made daring dash, with few selec
braves, into herd Of government horses
right in the precincts of the Fort, ran off e
even 6ue houses, killed one soldier and woun.
ded two others. Maj Bacchus became in.
dignant, and announced that he would court.
martial any officer that reported thereafter
having killed an Indian, Unless he brought il
his scalp.
We think it would be well enough for Gen
| Crook to issue similar order, or he will
nave nearly all the Apache warriors reported
killed, without having the pleasure OF sec
ing the top knot. Then these dead Indian
are sometimes dans erous playthipgs, as i
proved in tns, case of the Naeajoe chief.

THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE.

The last Scientific american. (the most
usefu! publication of the kind, in this coun-
try. copy Of which should he in every intel
lisent famiy,) contains an illustration of the
immense Refracting Telescope, the object
glass Of which was recently made in England
Its magnifying power, will bring the moon
within eighty miles of US and enable US to dis
c)ver whether that traditional man is really
10 that modest, bashful looking planet. 1t
will annihilate 100 900 miles of space, or in
other words, its magnifyin- power is 5000
times, land as the eye naturally receives
beam of light one-ffth of an inch in diameter,
this instrument, gathering from tho surface
of its twenty-five inch object glass, will have
an Illuminating power 15.625 times greater.
That is, it will carry that number Of times
more light into the eye"
The next largest telescope is located at
Chicago, its object glass being eighteen and
half inches in dismeter But the Messrs
Clark. Of Cambrideeport, Mass, have for
some time beeu engaged in grinding TWEEN

which will cost $4,000 1t is proposed to
place this telescope upon some point in the
feet above the sea level. The advantage OF
this, III the assistance which atmospheric
causes would give to the magnifying power of
the instrument can be understood, when We
state that an object which can be seen in the
dense, murkY atmosphere of our Valleys, tw o
miles distant, could there be discerned at
least ten times that space, by reason of the
exceeding rarity of the atmosphere. A knoll
or spur, observed in passing over the plains,

appear to be not more than an hours ride,

the Rocky Mountains, when attempted by
those uuacquainted with the atmospheric
anomaly.
1t has been suggested that the Govern
ment have made te esoope that will cost a
million dollars. Should this proposition be
accepted, and the magnifying power of the
object glass be in proportion to the cost, we
would be enabled to bring the moon right up
to our nose, and its pale glimpses" and its
"blushes." Of which poets have sung, have
the secrets of their existence exposed. Sci
