commission of the act, but find the
prisoner sane now" 1t might certainly
be accepted in testimony Of the prison
er's immediate sanity that he had elect
ed to be tried by the Baltimore County
jury, but what was the proof of his in
sanity at the time of the deed upon
which the jury relied The proofs
were these: He shot the wrong man,
and he had been drunk for some tiue.
If his aim had been better, and the
prisoner had actually killed the brother
whom he shot at instead of the unof-
Tending third party, the jury would have
deemed him sane, for the reason, we
suppose, that fraticide is more intclli-
gent act than any promiscuous malicious
shooting can be. In the same way the
jury were careful to distinguish between
an old drunk and one less inYeterate.
They did not release Goodrich from his
responsibilities to the law because he
was simply drunk, but because he had
been keeping up that same Old drunk

Drunkenness, per Sc, in the eyes Of this
most intelligent jury, was no excuse for
crime, but drunkenness repeated and

WINTER NOTES.-THE FIAT AGAINST THE
BREwERs-BENNETT STREET TRAGEDY
MISS EMILY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ITEMS.
BOsToN, Mass, Feb g.
Bostonians are likely, by present ap-
pearances, to remember this winter as
the season of storms and SHOWS, of cold
and inclement weather. The climax of
the severity was reached on Wednesday
last when the thermometer sank to an
alarming number Of degrees below the
point of comfort and good temper The
dealers in ice, and the cutters of the
same are jubilant over the assured stock
in hand for the approaching Summer
and indeed the denizens of the city may
congratulate themselves that they are
not again to be threatened with The
alarming scarcity of ice which was APP
pretended during the year 1871. The
season of tIlaws has nearly passed and
the sleighing, now in its seventh week,
has suffered but one decline Ardent
hopes are expressed that this luxury NAV
extend even into the spring months The
class of humanity known as sleigh max
ers had almost disappeared from the
manufacturing stage in disgust at the
Generalization of our present mild win
tiers. but they have reappeared and are
practising their special craft with a ven
geance, as IS evident from the daily adj
ditions in vehicles upon the Brighton
road, During the past week the sleigh
ing has been the dissipation of the hour,
and the various hotels and inns upon the
fashionable courses have flourished like
green bay trees
The fiat has gone forth over the ex-
pectant city against the brewers. The
House of Representatives has passed the
act prohibiting the sale of ale or bner by
vote of two to one. The Senate will
Immediately follow suit, since this body
is far more prohibitory in its compost
ton than the House. This act is not
subject of surprise. The Republican
party declared in favor of it at its State
convention in August, and the Republi-
can party carried the State in the ensu-
ing election by a majority of nearly
seventy-five thousand votes. The move
ment is perfectly legitimate, as all suf-
ferers are aware, but the dependency
among the German population is truly
heart-rending. Lager beer to our Teu-
tonic brethren is the necessary ear de 0ie
from the cradle through manhood to
totterlng age. 1t is the panacea of all
their lengthy woes, and not only binds
its disciples in jolly fraternity, but it
also acts as shield against the attacks
of this malignant world. What's to be
done? The problem is readily and ably
solved by philosopher in daily publ
cation, who hints that, we need hardly
sorrow as those without hope. Ale and
beer will still be drank here, If no bet
ter arrangement can be made the State
police can be compounded with upon
this point as well as on that of the sale
OF stronger liquors. Nobody is going to
be compelled to-refrain when thirst,
after all. No one who is anxious at any
time, to obtain liquors is forced to re-

engaged in the practice of law, real es-
tate and the publishing business with
Colonel John w. Shaftcr, who served
in the Legislature during the past two
years as the representative from Shelby
county. Colonel York was radical of
the blacklist dye, and published the Shell
by county Herald, one of the most pros
scriptive papers in the State. He con-
tributed his efforts in giving the vote of
Monroe county to Pat Dyer for Con-
gress against Switzler. After the cleo
ton in 1870 Colonel York, together with
nected with the Shelby Herald as the
practical business man, removed to
Montgomery county, Kansas, where be
began the publication of a republican
paper, and the step appeared too easy
from this position to that of Senator of
the great State of Kansas, one of whose
bleeding wounds he has sought to scab
over.
From the editorials in the Kansas pa
pers it would seem that the Kansans are
anxious to canonize York The follow
ing, from the Fort Scott Monitor, is 4
specimen of the praise showered upor
him:
Senator York's brilliant expose of S.
G. Pomeroy-we do not use the ''Sena-
tor, for he can no longer be considered
a representative of the State of Kansas
was coup that was likely to give
York fame far wider than our State
boundaries, and make for him national
reputation. Indeed, a man who, in 6
single half hours speech, could totally
annihilate United States Senator-tea,
down fabric that had been twelve
years in rearing, and whose foundation
were thought to be on the rock of Exc
cutive favor, forming one the "pillaB
of the administration, and with singh
breath, as it were, scatter it in dust b
the four winds of heaven-would in al
times, ancient or modern, be considered
a worthy candidate for the brightest lau
rels of fame and have niche hewn fol
him in the temple of immortality. Kan
sas owes him a debt of gratitude that
only her choicest favors can repay.

turn empty-handed, and why should he
be as regards ale and beer? The only
difference will be that they will be sold
against the law instead of with its sane
ton.
Aterrible chapter in the great romance
known as conjugal infelicity was enact
ed in Bennett street, on Saturday last.
1t appears that Alfred o. Love, aged
forty-five, a travelling agent for patest
articles, has for some months been sepa-
rated from his wife through certain
deficiency of harmony in their mutual
relations. Love, who is represented to
have been of a jealous disposition and
eccentric habits, came to the house
where his wife was staying and remain
ed an hour or two while she was pre-
pairing their only child, a girl of four
years, to go to the country to pass Sun
day. The husband seemed calm and
pleasant, and even carried the little girl
down stairs in his arms when ready to
go, and held her with every mark of
affection while she kissed the inmates of
the house Within few minutes, with
the imprint of the child's kiss still warm
upon his lips, he placed her upon the
floor, deliberately shot her through the
head and then committed suicide with
the same weapon. The horrid deed can
only be accounted for as the phrenzied
impulse of mind distracted with pas
| sion. Love was not intoxicated at the
| time, and has always sustained charac-
| ter for sobriety. The horror of this sin
gular murder is vibrating over the whole
community, and is awfully notable on
| account of the utter cold blood in which
it was perpetrated. The man died in a
| few hours, while the child is lingering,
although the wound must prove fatal
During the week we are to meet Miss
Emily Faithful, the great pillar of the
| 'sWoman question" Her mission in this
country is to continue the work she has
so ably sustained in England namely,
| that of raising her sex to the standard of
man; and as a great help towards a less
disastrous equality. She insists that a
| new scheme of education for women
must be provided, to prepare her from
| childhood for the contingencies which
may arise, by teaching her trades as well
! as the piano, and by intoxicating the
truth, that a knowledge of the use of the
sewing machine is as important as an
| acquaintance with the language of
Dante Miss Faithful will find many
adherents to her cause, while the sympa-
| thy of all will be rendered her in the
| great philanthropic movement.
Miss Adelaide Nelson. the English
tragedienne and Agnes Ethel, promi-
nent New York actress, are with us to
perform this evening respectively at the
! Boston Theatre and at the Globe. The
London critics speakin highest common
dation of Miss Nelson in the character
of Juliet. Expectancy is on tip-tOe, for
it is many years since the stage has seen
/ any but most insipid interpretations of
the joys and sorrows of this daughter of
the Capulets. Miss Ethel comes with a
romantic history of her own, is quite
pretty, a charming actress and is said to
wear the most astounding toilettes that
the famous Worth could invent. She
appears in a speciality, written by the
! young dramatist Sardon, entitled Agnes.

SENATORIAL DESIGNATIONS" Perley, "
the well informed Washington cores
pendent of the Boston journal, gives
the following resume of designations of
United States Senators, TO take effect at
future day. He says General Will
son, after having asked the advice of
Mr.. Trumbull and other Senators as to
whether he can, in resigning, appoint a
future day for his retirement from the
Senate, is advised that he can, the ques-
ton having been decided by an unbroken
series Of precedents from the foundation
of the government. Mr.. Bledsce so re-
signed, fixing future day; so did Mr..
Clay in 174e, and again in 1851. So did
Mr. Berrien In 1862, and so did Mr..
Foote again in 1882. When Mr.. Clay
resigned the second time on the 18th of
December, 1851, he addressed a com
munication to the Legislature of Ken
lucky declaring that 1T was to take ef-
feet on the first Monday in September,
1882. The Legislature, then in session,
received the resignation and chose Mr..
Dixon 10 ill the vacancy thus to occur
from the first Monday in September,
1882, TO The third day of March, 1856.

and rules high. Fancy is worth in New
York AZ to As cents, and fine half-nr-
kins bring 3S to 40 cents. Choice state
commands sc to 40 cents, and Welsh
tubs 90 at 80 to SO cents, according to
quality. The Price Current says
.sTbere is some talk of California arriv-
ing here by the 10Th of February. This
seems to us very doubtful, as there is no
accumulation of old stock in the Cali
fornia markets, and it does not seem to
us likely that new yellow could fall low
enough there to allow of shipments by
so early date"
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-02-06

The Legislature then adjourned. On the
twenty-ninth of June Mr.. Clay died, and
the Legislature, not being In session, the
Governor of Kentucky appointed Mr..
Merriweather as temporary appoint
ment until the first Monday in Septem-
ber 1852. Mr.. Merriweather took the
vacant seat, which he occupied until the
adjournment of the Senate on the last
day of August, 1852. When the Senate
reassembled in December, 1862, Mr..
Merriweather did not appear, but Mr..
Dixon did, and the Senate, after discus
sion, gave him the seat. This establish
ed the right of Senator to fix in his let
ter of resignation future day for his re-
tirement from the Senate, and also fixed
the right of the Legislature to fill va
cancy so created prospectively. Even
the death of the person so resigning can
not defeat the action of the Legislature
in filling vacancy prospectively.

BOILER EXPLOSION. dispatch from
NOrristown, Pa, states that the boiler
of Moorehead's rolling mill, in Consho-
hocken, exploded Monday afternoon,
killing three men and three boys, and
severely wounding fifteen others. About
one half of the large mill was destroyed.
Later dispatches state that two others
have since died. The explosion was ter
rife. Walls were thrown down and a
number of workmen buried in the ruins.
Half of the boiler, which was an old one
and recently patched, was carried some
three hundred feet and buried in the
Albion print works, in which an eXplo-
sion occurred last week. In the print
works two boys were killed, one Of
whom was literally cut in two The
names of the killed are William Hanna,
Peter Carroll, George Smith, Henry
Hummel, McNulty, a boy named
Mccall, and two others whose names
are unknown The badly injured are
Nm. Kelly, Hugh ODonnell, James
Hanna, John Wall, James Slattery, John
Mahoney. John Cogan, and a man nam
