ESCAPING THE GALLONS.
A STORY OF CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.


Many citizens of the STATE of New York
will remember the excitement created dur
ing the summer of 1857, by what was gem
erally called the "Weatherwax Murder"
The arrest, the legal controversy concerning
jurisdiction, the final trial, and the howl
of dissatisfaction which followed the partial
acquittal, are matters not easily forgotten by
those who then resided near the scene of the
tragedy.
The circumstances of the case were sub
stantially as follows: Captain John G.
Woatherwax resided in 1856 near the village
of Plattsburg. New York. He was man
of good character, one of numerous family
of the same name, the settlement being
known for miles around as the Weatherwax
settlement. Captain Weatherwax was, at
the time of which we write, about thirty
years of age, and the owner of small craft
which piled on Lake Champlain trading with
New York, Vermont, and Canada towns
| along the shore Of the lake.
The crew of this vessel consisted Of him
self, his cousin, Andrew Weatherwax, and a
man named Walter Brown. In the latter
part of June, 1856, he leh Plattsburg with a
cargo for Canada, and on the way back
stopped at Pike River landing, on the Capa'
da shore, where he WAS to take on cargo oi
wood for Plattsburg, During the day, while
the wood was being taken on board, a sharp
quarrel arose between Captain Weatherwax
and his cousin Andrew, and mutual threats
were INDUCED in. 1t WAS soon over, how
ever, but as Andrew had become intoxicated
he was rather morose during the entire
day
50 far, everything is plain and easily un'
derstood bat here the mystery begins, and
what follows is largely based upon the state
ments of the third party, Walter Brown
lie states that afer dark (the night was very
cloudy and starless) he was standing on thC
rear of the boat and heard the captain and
his cousin (who were at the bow resume
the quarrel of the day. 1t steadily increas
ed in violence. threats were exchanged, ant
though he could see neither Of tho parties
he could hear distinctly all that passed, Tn,
wordy war waxed hotter and suddenly he
heard crash as of blow crushing through
ssull and brain. succeeded by a heavy fall
and as suddenly all Vas stin.
The man listened with batea breath ant
trembled his first impulse was TO rush FOR
ward and offer assistance To the wounded
n,aa, hat fear restrained him, and he waited
the result, In a isw minutes the captain
came aft. but he was alone, Brown noticed
OF he thought he did. that he was pale and
excited.

JOHN B0TTLEJ0HN,

Little John Bottlejohn lived on the hill,
And u blithe little man washe;
And he won the heart OF a little mermaid
Who lived in the deep blue sea.
And every evening she used to sit
And sing on the rocks by the sea
"Oh, little John Bottlejohn pretty John Bot
tlejohn
Won't you come out to me? ?"
Little john Bottlejobn heard her song,
And he opened his little door;
And he hoped and he skipped and he skipped
AM he hoppe
uHtil h, came down 10 the shore.
nj there ON rock sat the little maid,
'And shu stl!l WAS singing so free,
"Uh, liDlle john Bottleloan.t pretty John noi
tlejohn
Won't you:come out to mo2 ?"
Little John BottlcjOhn mate Il bow,
And the mermaid Sue laa IL one, too,
And she said, "Oh never saw nything hali
So perfectly sweet us you.
III my beautiful home, meath the ocean,
foam,
How happy we 10th should be
"Oh little John BotteJOhn pretty John Bot
tlrJDhn
Won't you come out to me 2"
Little John Bottlejohn said: "Oh, yes,
I'll Willingly go with you;
And never viii quail at the sight of your tail
For perhaps may grow one too"
SO he took her hand and he left the land,
And he plunged into the foamlhg main.
And little John BottleJohn, pretty John Bot
john,
Never as seen again.

fore magistrate and fined, but having no
money, and being stllisngry with his cousin
he would not go to him for aid, and was on
the point of being taken to Jail, when a
stranger in the audience came forward and
offered to pay his fine if he would engage to
sail with him, his vessel then lying at Mon
treal. lie consented, and the next day they
sailed for China and for eleven years he
had followed the sea and never once com.
municated with his relatives. He now heard
for the first time what one of them had
suffered on his account.
The matter of the blood, and his hat,
which, 1t will be remembered, was found on
the deck, he explained by stating that he
had had the nose-bleed during the day, and
that some of the blood had probably fallen
on the deck the hat he tossed upon the
deck when he decided to go out in the even
ing, taking better one in its stead.
The Identification of the body found the
quarrel, the blow, and the voice Of Weather
wax heard during the alteration are myster-
les never explained. Perjury can hardly be
alleged, but there was certainly criminal
looseness in judgment which embittered the
best years of an innocent mans life, and
nearly sent him to an untimely, and dishon-
ored grave. ...
1t is hardly necessary to say that there was
a complete revolution in feeling toward Mr.
Weatherwax. Every one seemed anxious tc
compensate by kindness and patronage foi
the wrongs so innocently inflicted before
This was not unappreciated Business pros
pered, and three years ago both Andrew ant
John A. Weatherwax were among the mos

The Bulletin of the French Anti-Tobscco
Society, in relation to Il recent case of poi
soning in Paris, recalls an episode of An
other celebrated case-thst of Count Bo-
earms, in Belgium. accused Of poisoning
many years ago. While Dr. Stas, Professor
of Chemistry in the Brussels Ecole Poly
technique, was engaged in examining the
intestines of the victim, he called out to
those present TO cease smoking, as he could
not endure the smell of tobacco. 1t turned
out that no one was smoking, but ray OF
light was shed upon the hitherto obscure
case, and the appropriate tests being applied
nicotine, the instrument of the crime, was
discovered. Had Professor Stas been smo,
ker this detection would never have taken
place, and the culprit, who was executed,
would have escaped.

FLEETING JOYS.

Time goes In for funny freaks,
Mans toy he likes to play with;
Notice how he lines our cheeks
Mark what glee he makes us gay with.
Pleasure comes 20 sootbe our hearts;
often like the rose, IT'S pr!clily;
Soon It's radiance departs
Happy moments vanish quickly
Supposing you by fate's decree
Love girl and long to greet her,
Don't the minutes seem to be
Leaden-winged until you meet herr
When the hour arrives at last,
And all care you Danish,
Then the tyrant travels fast
happy moments quickly vanish!
Here upon this earthly ball
JOY awhile win make us gayer,
But when sorrow gives call
Oftentlmes she prov es "stayer."
Hope, tnou swiftly glidest on
Fragrant are the flowers thou pickest;
Soon, alas, their bloom Is gone
Happy moments fly the quickest.
Never mind, we needn't groan;
Tear drops, shower-llKe, refresh us;
After all, were bound to own
JOY Is like precious.
Cast away regrets and signs,
Though our cares beset us thickly,
Happy moments let us prize.
Even though they vanish quickly!

A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. One of The
most singular sights growing out of the.wsr
is a continuous line of peach trees of nearly
so miles In length, around Petersburg, and
extendings towards Richmend. They are
growing from the breastworks thrown up by
the rebel army, and are the only.legacy lsfs
by the poor fellows who were on the advsnes
line with 100 yards of our forces. Having
eaten the fruit while on picket duty, they
cast the stones aside, and now they
appear in one continuous line of forty-nve
miles in beautiful trees, which yielded an
abundant crop the present year.
