and ingenious EFFORTS OF the latter he had
had fortunate escape in not having been con-

OF his lie in Sing Sing. Judge Brady, in passing
sentence, said the Jury had passed upon the pris-
Oner's plea OF Justification. The Court had taken
into consideration the excitement caused among
the workingmen by innammat0ry speeches and
the length OF time the prisoner had been confined.

Penitentiary. The prisoner and his friends seemed

Similar induIgences in humorous thrusts sug-

various jurors called, kept everybody in the best
OF humor during the usually tedious process OF
getting jury.

prosecution at great length. He said.-This kind

colds and diphtheria In human beings. On the
9Th February a vigllant Of1icer saw car passing
along 125th street track at night with the windows
OF salt, which the defendants were shovelhng out.
Josiah Citing was the first witness called. He
said he was policeman; that on the night or the
9Th or February last he saw covered car on l25th
street; that there were blankets on the windows
and that several men were shOvelling salt on the
track; he rested the defendants and took
them to the station house; he tasted the
contents OF the car; IL was salt.
On his crOss-eXamnatiOn he said that the charge
In the Indictment, that the salt injured his health
was incorrect; he did not mind salt; the defend
anus claimed to have permit from the Mayor.
This ended the case for the day, but before the
Court adjourned Mr.. Hall gravely asked if Mr..
Bergh wished to have the jury kept together at the
Aston House for the night, at which all laughed.
Judge Brady did not lose his dignity during these
rather seemingly mock proceedings, but neverthe-
less IL was very evident that he seemed at times
to indulge in capaciOus smile IN his coat sleeve.
The trial Will be resumed this morning.

OF the enacting clauses OF that special act BIZ
which he lives and moves and has his public being,
known as the act Tor the prevention OF
cruelty to animals. In this matter OF
sailing the streets, however, he takes
broader ground and makes the sweeping
assertion that this saline practice as at present
INDUCED in by the city railroad companies is
detrimental to the public health. with the view
to bringing the matter to legal adjudication he
caused, some time since, the arrest OF John Bird
sail and i've others, whom he charges with sprink-
ling l25tn street with salt in the interest Of the
Third Avenue Railroad Company. After the con-
clusion OF the above trial the SIX employees Of the

this charge was preferred were placed on trial

OBIIU. R Y.

Mrs. MARY l.. FRENCH, wife of deacon r.
w French, died at Ashland, Wis, Tuesday
evening, Sept. 22nd, 1874, aged 80 years, =
months.
One short year ago Mrs. French
came amongst us an entire stranger
Brief As the time was, it was suffi-
cient for her, with her zeal and
sympathy, to gain the love OF all
who met her
She came to new duties-to that
most difficult of all tasLs-the filing
the place of departed mother in
a large household.
With what tact, with what heart
felt sympathy, with what selt-sac-
riticing love she accomplished this
task Is best revealed in the deep
grief now manifested by all to
whom she ministered. In the
church, in the Sunday School, in
the family with all cheerfulness and
energy she did the work that fell to
her lot
One week ago she entered into
the valley of the shadow of death,
but slowly returned again, with no
murmur that death had cheated
fond hopes, which only a mother
can know, but rejoicing that she
herself was spared to those she
loved.
Day by day she seemed to be
gaining strength, till the morning
of the 22nd, when there was a de
cided change, which resulted to-
ward evening, in death. Con-
Sclous that she was going, she made
the utmost effort to call again by
name the loved ones, and leave
them her last legacy Of love. But,
too exhausted o speak, she sank
back, and with shining face and
finger pointing heavenward, closed
what she herself had termed the
happiest year Of her life.
BY her own request the body was
buried at Superior.-1shland Press.
