| TIE MYSTERIOUS SMOKE IN FLORIDA
| OF the wonderful secrets of nature that
| Florida can boast of posse ssing within her
limits there is one in this county upon
which the eve of mortal has not vet been per-
mittcd to gaze. For more thCn thirty
years its existence has been tantalizingly
proclaimed by 4 cloud of smoke that has
increasingly asccnded, frequently changing g
from light to q dark shade, from an I'M
penetrable swamp some twenty-five miles
from Monticello, and in the direction of the
Gulf coast, from which point this pillar
Of cloud is also visible Learned gentle
men. after viewing " tnc landscape Ger :"
for many years and from various points,
! have made frequent and persistent efforts
to solve this long standing and perplexlng
mystery. But up to this time nothing has
been accomplished beyond unsuccessful at
tcmpts to reach the place, all OF which end
ed in disaster within four or five miles Of
the spot on which the supposed volcano is
thought to be located.
! am informed that Judge Bell, of this
place, and others are now making fresh
attempt to penetrate to this mysterious
phenomenon. and discover its true charac-
ter. Judge White, of Quincy. man of
large literary culture. has lcd several eX-
peditions to that region. bat in every in
stance failed to effect and entrance through
the closely interviewer and impenetraDlc
underground of the center of the swamp,
where the volcano is situated. While some
of these attempts have been feeble and in
efficient. others have been we'll organized
and equipped, and led by men of expert
cnce and tiXednesS of purpose. Judge
White had an observatory which he could
place in the tree tops TO guide him in the
right course. And vet this undiscovered
bourne remains untrolden by the foot OF
a modern traveller; At least none have ever
returned TO report its mystery. One thing

has been done up . for the reading pub

is more especially directed to the males)

way. and pursue some steady, permanent,
legitimate business or employment with
great perseverance and industry; and sue

Knowledged her guilt, and asked, OIL the
grounds OF us being her first offence, and her
infant children, to be sent to jail instead OF

however, ne said in consideration OF the cir

mutation OF sentence could be made and its
result determined. The commonwealth al.
lorney stated that he would sign such appli-

To-day, in the Criminal Court, Judge Mac
Arthur, the case of w. III. Ottman, charged
with the larceny of Si7 ,097 SO from the Trea-
sury In June last, IN which the jury failed TO
agree lest week, was called.
District Attorney Wells asked that the
case be set down for trial on Monday next.
Mr.. Elliott expressed the hope that the
assignment would not be made, and called
der exceptions, which have not been settled.
Mr.. Merrtck said that IL would be 1mpossi-
Die for him 10 go on with the case at the time
named, and he understood that there were
400 cases on the calendar awaiting trial.
Gov. Wells replied that many of them were
old cases, and there was really about 10 days
work for the term outside of these cases.
Mr.. Merrick urged that there was an ap-
peal pending in the Halleck case, and they
should wait until that is disposed of.
Mr.. Wells replied that these cases had
this trial is put off il becomes more and
more dificulJ to try. There are 10 witnesses
for the government scattered through the
country, some or whom may die; and there
was considerable money locked up in il.
The new indictment alleges the conviction
OF Halleck, and that is the only new point.
Mr.. Carpenter suggested that ii was no
iault OF The defence that the money was
locked mp; let the government release IL. AS
for the danger of witnesses dying let the
government insure their lives.
Mr.. Wells-That is not the practice here If
II is in Wisconsin.
Nj. Carpenter.-Neither is 1t there. Nor is
this practice.
Mr.. Wells What practice?
Mr.. Carpenter.-The practice of trying a
nan every week. Laughter
The Court said that without stating wheth-
er The case should be tried at this term or
not he would rot now assign the case for
any particular day. The next term will
convene In June and probably before that
time arrives there will be an opportunity
To try the case. In the meantime the Court
n General Term will have considered the

Association for collecting evidence touching
the guilt or innocence of Mr.. Beecher has as
yet elected no reply. The only source, IL
any, from which reply is looked for by the
committee Is Professor Tyler OF the Michi-

lessor, while connected with the Christian
C1ltCn, came into possession OF some facts
which il is thought he will now offer TO the
committee. Mr.. Hokarr, one OF the mem
