The BEECHER TRIAL. Sid IsSfe-While
me parties IN interest seem to be having a
good time in court. with Misunderstanding, in
terChange OF SalutatiOns, and an occasional
burst OF laughter, there are many homes in
and around New York that are filled with
diSmay while the trial goes on. In one of the
WealthleSt homes on Murray Hill there is a
young lady nearly craZcd with the Incidental
mention OF her name in connection with this
case. She = very talented, beautiful, the
IDOL of her home and her friends. She took
deep interest in the woman question i'm its
early stages, more from the Impulses of a
DeNeVOient nature than from the desire 10 be
prominent. She thought there ought To be
some opening for women who had brains and
talent, and in this movement she thought
she saw some chance 10 elevate her sex. She
had no idea where this thing would drift n0r
what sentiments would be agitated under he
pretence OF eieVating woman. She got out of
the company as soon as possible. but having
touched pitch She was defiled. The thoughf2
less use OF her name in court has filled her
win terror. and she weepS day and night lest
he threat be carried out Of putting her ON ;Ile

The ICE CROP OF this year, judging from
the activity which Characterized The b.rveSf
Ins OF past weeks along the Hudson, between
Poughkeepsie and Albany, promises to be
the most ABUNDANT that has been gathered i'm
many seasons. In ISIS the Quantity bonSad
was ,40o,5oo tons, and last year, when The
harvesting was delayed by the severity or
the weather, the amount was less and of an
Inferior quality. This season no impaIi-

as consequence, the ice already stored is
greater in quantity and superior to the crops
