tied the sympathy Of her hearers. She
is young woman of prepossessing APP
pearance, and gave her evidence with
the air Of lady of culture and refine
ment. She was subjected 10 trying
cross-examination by the counsel for the
defense, and when closely pressed in
relation 10 her Illicit intercourse with
the prisoner and his companion, broke
down completely, and was removed
from the courtroom in Mysteries. Lewis
took the stand in his own defense, and
admitted having seen the woman bring
home the stolen articles, but denied
that he had ever induced or compelled
her 10 steal them, or that he
knew the property was stolen. These
assertions were repeated by his counsel
in an address TO the jury. Assistant
District-Attorney Russell, in his sum
ming up addressed TO the Jury, threw
all the eloquence at his command into
the case, and in an argument of rare
ability convinced the Jury that the pris-
oner was the vile scoundre! he had pic
tured him.
Without a moments hesitation the
Jury found Lewis guilty of the charge
in the indictment. Judge Sutherland
said he was gratified that the prisoner
had been found guilty, and that the
woman, whose career had been so sim
gularly unfortunate, was rid of him at
last. His Honor then sentenced Lewis
10 the highest penalty in his power to
inilict-fye years in the State Prison,
at hard labor. At the request of Mr..
Russell, q nolie prosequi was entered in
the case of the woman, whose name
and address, and those of her employer,
have, as an act Of justice to the parties
themselves, been withheld.

Finding a Father and a Fortune.

A piece of good fortune almost equal
ing that of fairy tale has just fallen
TO the lot of Samuel Chute, Young
man of 30, well known in this city, who
for the past II years has been employ
ed as fireman on the Maine Central
Railroad. When he was three years of
age his father went to California, and
shortly after his arrival in that land,
then teemtng with gold, it was reported
that a malignant fever had laid him in
a strange and friendless grave. So
young Chute was brought up believing
his father dead, and found himself OBJ
liged to labor hard for the bread which
perishes. What, then, must have been
his joy TO find, few weeks ago, that
his father was still alive and the owner
OF princely fortune in San Fransiscol
lie wrote TO his father, and that gentle
man responded in person, reaching this
city few days ago. Father and son
will start for the Golden City on the
first of next week.--Kenne6ec Journal.

GoOse-bOne Probabilities.

The Louisville Commercial says: Now
is the time when the weather prophets
come forward with their predictions for
the winter. These prophecies, just at
present, are as numerous and conflict
ing as political dispatches from the
South. All kinds of weather are fore
told, and people can have their choice,
but, before making a guess as 10 what
kind Of weather is hid away in the future,
we must first consult our goose-bone.
II carried US over the bridge of doubt
last year, and pointed out the changes
just as they occurred. OF all the wealth.
er prOgnosticators who entered the
field, the Commercials goose bone alone
hit the mark, and while Tice and other
weath9r-wise sages lost ground, it made
reputation and became honored in all
the land, and its prophecy for the com
ing winter will be watched with great
interest.
The goose bone is more closely watch
ed in Kentucky than in any other part of
the country. 1t has been handed down
among the early traditions Of the State,
and may be called the Kentucky wealth
er prophet. 1t is TO be found in nearly
every Kentucky country home, and in
many parts Of the State the
farmers consult it, and prepare for
handling their crops in accordance with
its readings. The prophecy Of the
goOse-bone does not extend beyond the
year in which the goose was hatched,
and the prediction is for the three win
ter months only. Take the breast.
bone of the last springs goose and di-
vide into three equal parts, and the diff
ferent divisions will represent Decem-
Der, January, and February. The
breast-bore of goose is translucent,
and if clear when held up to the light,
the weather will be mild and pleasant;
but if covered with cloud-like blots, it
will be gloomy and cold, the heavier
the blots the colder the weather. A
study Of this years goose bone indi-
Gates that the weather for December
will be cloudy and gloomy, probably
with much rain and snow, not very cold,
but withal a very disagreeable month
About the last of December we shall
have some cold weather, which will
continue TO grow colder as January adj
vances. The month of January will be
a cold one throughout, with some very
severe weather during the last part OF
the month. On the prophecy of the
goose-bone il may be predicted that
about the last of January we will have
the coolest weather experienced for a
number of years. February will be
more pleasant and spring-like, betok-
ening an early return of the flowers.
During the last of the month, however,
there will be a few cold days, but no
severe weather.
Such is the prophecy of the goose
bone, and as we have the word of a
good old farmer up in Woodford Coun-
ty that it has not failed for 80 years, we
may as well prepare TO meet it, and
need not be surprised if we have good
skating on the Ohio River during the
latter part of January.

A Big Hunt

The biggest job of deer hunting on
record for several years in Southern
Colorado occurred on Monday, at the
head of Gurules Canyon, about ten miles
from this place. The successful MINI
rods that did the job were Ed. Small, a
siXteen-year-old boy, and DR.. Parsons,
of Missouri. They killed nine deer,
including one buck, one Of which was
slain late in the evening, of which they
lost trace in the darkness. Mr.. J. W.
Smith went out yesterday and brought
in six Of them, which we saw with our
naked eyes. The girls now SOY that
though Ed is not their little dear, he
is the deerest boy in Trinidad by half
a dozen. Ed. is holding pretty high
head now, and says we must not say
any thing more about old Nimrod; he
is completely laid in the shade Alto
gether, Ed. killed five, and DR.. Parsons
four, three Of which were killed Tues
day.-7rtnidad (Col) Enterprise.

THE CHANGE WROUGHT When the
Republican party came into power
the auction block and the slave pen
were within the shadow Of the ma
tion's Capitol. What n change has
God wrought under the sway of the
Republican party To-day the flag
floats over freemen everywhere. Sla-
very has died before the breath of
freedom, and another decade Of Re-
publican rule will wipe out forever
the spirit Of oppression which still
fingers around the recent fields of
bondage. The prayer of freemen
throughout tho world is, that the
party that has done so much for
American liberty and human pro
gress will continue to govern the
country until every vestige of evil
growing out OF the institution of sla-
very ia removed.

Yellow Fever In the South.

The yellow fever is prevailing to
an alarming extent in some Of tho
Southern States. In Savannah, Ga,
the death ratio is the highest ever
known, the daily estimate being
placed at fifty-six. This is greater
mortality than in 1854, when it av-
eraged ffty-one. The gloom and
depression in the city is terrible,
there being over 1000 people sick
with the yellow fever. The fatality
is notable among the wealthier
classes.
Over 5000 people applied for re-
lief on the 22d ult., many OF hem
representing largo families, and tho
destitution is great. Tho negroes
are without exception, almost, de-
pendent upon the benevolent socie-
ties and are helped equally with the
whites.
The epidemic in 1854 ended with
the black frost on November 10, and
it is expected the scourge will hardly
end much sooner this year. Con-
trary to former experiences, the fa>
tality this year increases with the
progress Of the epidemic.
Every city and township in Geor.
gia has assisted Savannah to the best
of their ability but matters have
passed. beyond local control, and the
state now appeals TO the entire coun
try for aid. Reports state that there
are over six hundred cases In Bruins.

and were appropriately referred to

for the South under the amended
constitution to procure compensation
for slave property, nor to be reim-
bursed for the debt incurred by the
rebellion, but there are claims
amounting to hundreds of millions
OF dollars which arc not barred by
any constitutional provision. There
nre claims for property taken, and
damages caused by the invasion OF
Union armies, which penetrated ev-
cry Southern State, either by sea or
land. They took "food for man and
beast" they quartered iu their towns
and cities, they occupied the best
farm houses they could find, aud
they lived to large extent Off the
country they invaded. Southern
citizens still hope to bo paid for
damages Of this character, just as

Before and After TiIdsn's Statement.

Tilden, spoke as follows
"The charge has been made that

That charge has not been met by

Again, n charge originally embraced
in a paragraph ought not to require
three or four columns Of denial aud
explanation to expose its true char
acter. We are not able to persuade
ourselves that the defense Of Judge
Sinnott has been entirely successful.
However, the election will not pro-
badly turn on that alone. The effort
is being made to hinge the result on
reform.
This has considerable significance
in view Of the fact that this journal
zealously supports every ticket the
Democracy has put in nomination
Congressional and State, but not
that headed by Governor Tilden.
