NR. HALLIDAY SKETCHES HIS OWN HIS
TORY

Tho cross-examination of Mr.. Halliday was re-
>umed at the opening Of the court. The Plaintiffs
counsel began with strong effort to bring out what
Ms Bradshaw had said to the witness in reference
10 the prosecution Of the West charges. The de-
feuse objected to this evidence of conversations
between persons not parties to the case. Mr.. Beach
replied that they had a right to bring out the mo-
tyes under which thewitnes had acted contradict
some part of his testimony Judge Nelson ruled
that they could only show much of the CONVEX
cation as was reported to the Examining Commit
tee. Under this ruling Mr. Halliday testified that
lrs. Bradshaw stated TO him that Mrs Tton asked
ler not 10 be n witness against her husband, say
ing Matte, how eau YOU appear against
mei" Mr.. Halliday was then called
apon for his past life and history. and gave full
account of the various societies with which he had
been connected. In answer to the question, " Have
you ever had any connection with the juvenile
Guardian Society," the witness answered. NO. l
hope not: il is Of the greatest humbugs that
ever existed and the witness gave his views In
very decided language about the Society and ITS
officers This terminated lbs examination the hour
being 1880 p. III.

telling what she heard and saw at the time Of Mrs.
Tilton's alleged confession and retraction. She
was Obliged to stop. however, before o'clock. and
the Court adjourned until Monday when her direct
examination will end and the REORGANIZATION be-
gin.
The Hon. Isaac S. Morse Of Boston was with Mr.
Tltons counsel in court Yesterday morning and sat
beside the plaintiff. He is the gentleman to whom
frequent reference made in Mr.. COwley's testi-
mony as the District-Attorney who would not pros
ecute the charges against him. Mr.. Morse will
probably testify in rebuttal of Mr. Cowley when the
defendants case has been concluded.

Court here in evdence-ha Mr. Halliday the witness the
stand stated IN substance to the Committee reason why
the prosecution should not be enforced that Mrs Bradshaw
would appear before the Committee and that that was In
reply statement Of assertion between members OF the
Committee that there good witnesses to prove the
truth Of the charges contained the specifications against MT
Ton, naming Mr. and Mrs Bradshaw and that the Commit
deferred have observed from prosecuting those
charges from information given them by MI Halliday ha
Mr. and Mrs Bradshaw Mrs Bradshaw would not appear
before the Committee; and propose TO show that what MI

Mr. Fueron-No, Sir; there has been objecton but
stated that fact % chow what object In introducing l'
evidence want show that this witness had conversation

Mr. Fncrton-Did you say the Comrattee at any time
that M Bradshaw had told You that she would not appear "
fore the Committed
Mr. Shearman-One moment. To that, your Honor, we
object Mr. Beecher yet connected with this in any way
and this relates meetings concerning which no inquiry mas oc
made certainly side Now, the only meeting tat We
did make inquiry into the meeting that was referred

Mr. Beeche All have done has been to disconhee'
Mr. Beecher and have gone further; and that was W
meeting October 3h 1872 Now these are inquiries Win
relating meetings taking place in 1879 Mr. Beeche Is i'll

Judge Neson-My impression that having let show
what occurred at meeting although Mr. Beecher was not
there and what very important Mr. Ton was not there
yet allowed it part OF the official action determining not

He went to the house of Friend

was very low, and paying 70 dividends,
Uncle RICHARD was present where three

The GrasshOppPr.

The astonishing vivacity which the
progeny of the grasshopper host of last
summer are already beginning to exhibit
when disturbed by the removal of chips
and bark beneath which they are Matched,
is causing profound distrust of Ento
mologist Rley's assertion that they
wouldno plague us this year. We have
reports OF them in various parts of the
State. The Henry County Democrat
says that on opening hot bed in Clinton
last week, not less than five hundred OF
the enterprising little insects manifested
their presence by jumping around in q
rudimentary but very suggestive way
and we learn thatthey have been seen
coming out of flower.pots kept all win
ter ia the house,as far east as Lewis Coun-
