The sudden death of Mrs. Elizabeth
Reeve Weston, in this city last Saturday,
threw a feeling of gloom aud sadness
over a large circle Of friends. She was
the wife of Mr.. G.. NJ. Weston, Of the
firm of Oliver, Finnie & Co., aud daugh-
ter of Rev. VIM. McLaren, a Presbyte-
rian minister Of Ohio, but formerly of
New York, her native State. Her NAL
ady was an affection Of the heart, which
without any rremonition, carried her off
10 a few hours. She was universally
esteemed and beloved by those who en-
joyed her acquaintance and knew her
amiable and lovesble qualities. A
deeply bereaved and devoted husband,
two little children aud a younger sister
here, Miss Hattie McLaren, besides
numerous members Of her family in
Ohio and New York, are left to mourn
the death Of this excellent lady.

delegations and wa introduced 10 the
Convention by President Heating in a
short and eloquent speech.
When the uproarious applause had
ceased Colonel Young expressed his
thanks and confessed his own unworthi.
ness for the high honor conferred upon
him by the representatives Of Shelby,
Fayette and Hardeman counties in con.
vention assembled. He felt grateful
that the people who sent him TO Congress
had approved Of his conduct while their
representative. He had made every
effort to serve his constituents and
would in the future continue to do so
should the people of the district indorse
the action Of the convention. Upon
some future occasion he would address
his fellow-citizens Of the district upon
the national issues Of the day, but upon
the present occasion he would only
thank the Representatives of Hardeman,
Fayette and Shelby counties for the re-
newal Of their confidence given to him
in this convention. Again thanking the
convention for the honor and compli-
ment conferred upon him, Col. Young
retired from the stand amid tremendous
applause.
General Polk. of Hardemau county,
being called upon for a speech made a
humorous one ia response to the call.
Colonel Clapp, elector for the Tenth
Congressional district, on being loudly
called upon appeared upon the stand
and delivered a short but able and ex-
haustive address upon the important
political issues Of the campaign. a.
impressed upon his hearers the necessity
OF going to work aud making the victory
"a great one. He drew a vivid picture Of
the origin and greatness of the Demo
cratic and Wing parties, and of the
knightly contest q betwee9 these great
and good old parties. He pictured the
Know-Nothing party as one Of which
" the less said about the better" Then
came the Republican party; one founded
upon prejudice and %seetionalism; one
composed Of the odds aud ends Of all
other parties; One founded upon all the
"isms" that this couat-y has produced.
It waves its bloody shirt with one hand
and shoves the other up to the elbow into
the public crib. Colonel Clapp closed
his impressive and able speech in a bril-
liant perorat,on, which was received
with immense applause.
On motion the convention adjourned
sine die.

a Curious French Murder Trial.

A Curious French Murder Trial.
Pail Mall eaEette.l
The assize court of Vaucluse has just
dealt with one of the most difficult posi-
ole of cases-namely, the trial of a deaf
and dumb couple for murder. The man
Plantevin and his wife lived in the same
house as a NJ, Eugene Recorder, a watch
maker at Watson, in the district of
Orange, They we're excellent friends till
NJ. Reccrdon, having lent Plantevin a
sum Of e2O0, was %imprudent enough 10
ask for it, employing for that purpose
the agency of a sheriff officer. Poor
Plantevin, By the testimony OF those who
knew him best, was quite weak enough
to have paid the money without making
any fuss about it, but also weak enough
to aid committing murder at his wife's
request
At the sight Of the sheriff officer,
Nine. Plantevin. q Corsican by birth.
swore to be r~eveuged. Next day NJ. Re
Gordon was found lying deadin the midst
OF a pool OF blood, with q CHASTITY wound
in the head 1t appeared that Rone OF
his property had been stolen, but two
hammers belonging to Plantevin and a
white linen apron habitually worn By his
wife were missing. Some additional cir
cumstsnce rendered the presumption
against the Plantevins extremely strong
but French justice had the Courage to be
extremely patient, and to give the ac-
cused more than every chance, in con-
sideration Of their joint misfortune. The
murder was committed on the night Of
November ID IA last, but it was not un-
ill the 25th of April, after a long prelim-
mary examination, that the Plantevins
were formally arraigned at the a%ssizes.
They gave their evidence by means Of
two interpreters, but at the end of the
third day they declared that the interpre-
tations given of their thoughts were iu-
correct, and that the only person on
whom the could rely was q certain pro-
fessor Of their language at Marseilles.
Tbereupon the President Informed them
that he could not refuse to take their re.
quest in consideration, only if it we're
granted the trial must be postponed until
the August a%ssizes. The Plantevins ae-
cordingly withdrew their demand, and
the case was about to proceed, when the
foreman of the jury informed the judge
that he and his colleagues had already
made up their minds on the verdict,
which would be one Of acquittal. By
such a statement the law had been vio-
lated, and the whole trial had to begin
again ab initio.
The final proceedings were terminated
by a verdict of guilty against both pris-
Oners. Plantevin, who had done his
best in concert with q dutiful SOL to
throw the blame on his wife, was con-
demned to eight years penal servitude.
Nine. Plantevin was condemned to twen-
ty years.

A Curiou. study m currents.

Journal Of the Franklin Instituted
At the gathering Of people on the oc-
casion of the opening of the Centennial
Exhibition on the 10th of May, 1876, a
striking example and illustration was OBJ
served Of the fact that a crowd lives only
by aid Of the ascending current from the
bodies Of the persons composing it. The
observer was sitting on the platform in
front Of Memorial Hall, and all the space
between this platform and the Main
Building, a space of probably n hun
dred and fifty feet in width by FIVE hun
dred feet in length (of a dense crowd,
was occupied by about forty thousand
persons, standing as closely as comfort
would allow. The air was quite warm,
about s%eventy.6ve degrees Fahrenheit.
and a light breeze was blowing from the
west. There we're many smokers in the
crowd, and it was noticeable that the
course of tobacco smoke, which showed
white against the brown front Of the
Main Exhibition Building, indicated the
course of the current at different points.
A breath Of smoke on the outskirts ofthe
crowd was dispersed irregularly. A puff
of the crowd rose with great apparent
rapidity until it was lost to sight by as
cending above the line Of the building;
the background of white clouds, with
which the blue sky was then broken, not
allowing it to be distinguished higher up.
The swiituess with which the smoke rose
showed that the ascending current In the
centre of so thickly thronged and so large
a space was rapid. In fact, it showed a
set Of currents like those at a iro-on
the outskirts tending toward the center;
in the center upward.
