The Weather.

As predicted by the HERALD the great
rain area which accompanies that Of low
barometer from the lake to the mouth
OF the ST. Lawrence has barely touched
New York in passing and gave us only
light shower or two. The mountains
played their important part in detecting the
storm centre and forcing it to take north
easterly course. We have, therefore, bene-
fted nothing with regard to our water supply
from the great rain area This is SO often
the case that we hopo the Croton Board
will come at last to recognize the
value of mcteorologically good location
Tor watershed, a merit which our
present one docs not possess. Follow
ing in the track Of the storm low tenn
perature prevails which has caused snow
fall at Pembina and Fort Garry. The dura-
ton of the cold winds at New York will.
however, be short. and they will be consider
ably modified by the movement of high
pressure through the Southern States.
Another depression is presenting itself in
the northwest which by Monday next may
extend its influence to New York. Tho
weather in this city to-day win be cooler
and partly cloudy.

THE MONTPELIER LOTTERY SwISDLE
-ExrosUEE OF VIRGINIA LEGIsLA-
TOR AND A JUDGE.-A special dispatch
to The Sun from Alexandria, Va, pub
lished in Fridays issue, announced that
when the Montpelier lottery closed, all
of its funds over $4,000 were invested
in bonds and entrusted to a citizen OF
Alexandria Occupying an important
public position" who had been made
manager. 1t was further stated that
this person took the bonds TO Rich
mond, and fell into the hands Of gam
blers, who succeeded in getting possess
ion of the bonds, $4,000 of which were
afterwards recovered. The Alexandra
Gazette OF Friday, furnishes the partic
ulars of the affair, from which it APP
pears that on the evening of the 9Th Of
January, Mr.. Alexander Hunter, Of
Alexandria. received a dispatch from
Capt. w. ii. Fowle, a member of the
House of Delegates from Alexandria,
asking him to come 10 Richmond at
once. On arriving i'll Richmond Hun
ter found Fowle at the Richmond Club
House. The result of the interview
being that Hunter went at once to see
George S. Stephens, county judge of
Nelson county, who had won heavily
from Fowle, and who was stopping at
Worsham's Club House, and informed
him that he had full power to act, and
that he was friend Of Capt. Fowlc,
was prepared to arrange the matter at
once, and that he, Judge Stephens,
must either surrender a portion OF the
amount lie had won, or meet the cap
tain before sunset outside of the city
limits, and appeal to the arbitrament of
arms. subject to the rules of the code.
In response the judge answered that
he had nothing personal against Cap
tain Fowle, and that only for the sake
of his own feelings would he give up
portion Of tho amount. Upon being
Intercepted, he said that at different
times he had played draw bluff with
Captain Fowle in a private room, with
no witnesses, and that the sum total Of
his winnings was a 5000 check OH the
German Bank of Alexandria and ten
$500 District OF Columbia bonds. AT
ter lengthy interview an arrangement
was made, and Judge Stephens placed
into Mr.. Hunters hand six bonds Of
$500 each and the check for 5000,
making in all $4,000, and acting for
bis friends. Mr., Hunter gave a writ
ten acknowledgement of a satisfactory
settlement TO Judge Stephens. Mr..
Hunter afterwards found in Washing
ton George Hill, nephew of Worshanl,
the proprietor of gambling house in
Richmond, who had won from Fowle
eight $500 bonds, who, after considera-
bic interviewing, Turned over $1,000 in
currency. The Gazette says the total
deficit is $6,440 in currency. The
high standing of all the parties concern
ed, except one, has created quite SEN
sation in Alexandria and Richmond. :
The impeachment of Judge Stevens
is freely taxed about, but his friends
intimate that if such proceedings are
commenced Judge Stevens, by sum-
inoning members OF the House as
witnesses in his behalf, can put those
members In an embarrassing position.

guilt had been obtained, and that tie
Jail was surrounded by mob of excited
people, but both denied any completely

with them and asked a confession. The
mob finally forced The keys from the
jailer, took Williams out, placed him
under a tree in the courthouse yard,
where, with a rope around bis peck,
standing on a barrel, he made a confes-
sion. He expressed the hope that the
crowd might obtain Gods forgiveness
for their crime, as he had for his, and
declared he was happily started or his
Journey home to Heaven. He died at

Mrs. Meeting was then brought ont, and
placing her in front of the dead nur-
derer the crowd called for her confess

been trying for the past three months
to poison her husband without success;
that Williams struck Meeting on the
