TESTIMONY FOR THE CROWN.
Baron Holsteln gave his testimony. He denied
that Prince Bismarck had commissioned him to
watch Won Arnim; the accused had stated that he
would not resign and that the Foreign once
would not place him on the retired list, because
ne held documents which compromised Bismarck.

ing them. The revelations communicated to the
Vienna Presse were intended 10 be used %
weapons for q campaign against Prince
Bismarck; out the accused retreated almost
before the attack was commenced. The
echo OF the assassin's shot at Kisslngen
was too much for him. The offence was without
extenuation, and was aggravated by the rank OF
the accused. Nevertheless, concluded the prose-
cutor, the government would refrain from de-
manding deprivation OF civil rights.
The Public Prosecutor spoke two and half
hours, and concluded by asking that the prisoner
be sentenced to two and half years. imprison-
ment
THE REPLY IN DEFENCE
Herr H0ltzendorf, counsel for the defence,
argued that even II all the charges were ad-
mitted. an acquittal was unavoidable on purely
legal grounds. IL could not be maintained that
the Crown had any proprietary right in the MISS
ing documents. The accused in his conflict with
Bismarck considered that he was defending his
honor.

Over tho Public ation OF the Bismarck.
Arnim Papers.
LONDON, Dec. IA, 1874.
Intense feeling has been aroused In france BY
some OF the papers read IN the Arnim trial.
One despatch especially, In which Bismarck

One of the most laughable scenes con-
nected with the conflagration last evening
was the expert and expeditions manner
in which "Tete" Cain removed one of
George Richardson's VARIABLE animals.
Theodore, with good intentions, excitedly
ran to the stall where he supposed good
and valuable horse was wont to stand and
feed. The horse was gone His car de-
tected sound. Amid the smoke and ex-
element he made an entry into the ''stall, +"
and seized with malice and aforethought"
Georges "best" trotter, 'pig" and he
carefully landed him--at the risk of his
own life-upon The streets. Much praise
is due Mr.. Cain for his bravery in thus res
cuing good and noble animal.

a Benson Man Missing.

John Harlow of the firm OF Harlow &
Hale, merchants of Benson's Landing, on
Lake Champlain, has been missing for five
weeks. He left Benson's landing for
Whitehall, on some business, intending to
return in few days. Mr.. Harlow was a
soldier in the Union army during the rebel
lion, and lost an arm in one of the later
battles. His friends are very anxious and
are searching the country round for him,
but as yet without success. He was seen
at Whitehall shortly after leaving home,
but cannot be traced from there. There
are rumors that his cash account is some
what short, though his friends deny this,
and it is conceded that the credit of the
firm will not be impaired in any event.
