New York Notes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The
trial of John HI. Simmons for the
murder of Nicholas Duryes will
be proceeded with in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer this morning.
Simmons still uses crutches and is
in feeble health
Mayor Havemeyer's son, who
was severely injured some days
ago by being thrown down by a
guy rope in front of the new Ma
sonic Temple, on Sixth avenue,
still lies in a precarious condition.
The Chamberlin- Wilkes libel
suit was to have been continued
yesterday, but adjourned to the
23d, in consequence of the illness
Of ex. Judge Fullerton, counsel for
complainant.

The Legislature ofPennsylvania
had some doubt about their au-
thority to repeal the local option
law, for the reason that where it
was enforced, it was the result of
an election carried by the major
ity of the voters. The Attorney
General of the State has advised
them that they have the
power of repeal, and as a matter
of policy being the party in power,
we have no doubt they viii repeal
the law. AS we said in reference
to the Maryland legislature, all
persons must practice what they
preach before we can have gen.
,aral temperance.

WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER.

Nothing presents sadder COM
mentary upon the present condi-
tion ofsociety than the large num-
Der of families, both in town and
country but mCre especially the
latter, that do not subscribe for a
paper of any kind. How many
families are thus growing up ut
terly ignorant of what is transpir-
ing in the world around them
ignorant of the mighty events of
the day. But who can tell of the
injury inflicted upon The rising
generation those who are to take
our place at no distant day-grow-
ing up without any knowledge of
the present or study of the past !;
this ignorance, too, being imbued
into them by the sanction of those
who SHOULD. and doubtless do,
know better. did they only think
OF the injurious effects of their i'm.
sane course. Let the head of the
family think of this, and place in
the hands of those for whom he
is responsible the means OF ac-
curing some knowledge of the
moving panorama in which we
act our different parts.
