mark that Smith didn't want to see his
wife again, that he neglected attendance
Upon her. lie laid great stress on
the part acted by Burroughs, as dctec-
tive; claimed that every step Smith took
was suggested by Burroughs: that
Smith met Mrs. Champlin at Burling-
on through Burrougis's manipulation.
Mr.. Hard declined to make any argu-
ment in behalf of Mrs. Chainplin.
Mr.. Woodbridge, for the state, said
the argument of Ballard proceeded on a
false view of the law, which is not that
the evidence should be sufficient to Sc
cure conviction beyond reasonable
doubt, but whether there is sufficient
evidence to make il for the interest of
the public that further investigation
should be made by the grand inquest of
the county. The question is, did this
person die from poison? The evidence
was reviewed to show that Mrs. Smith
was poisoned with arsenic; that il was
not taken for sclf-destruction that il
was not administered by her attendants,
but given fcloniously, the motive aris-
ing from guilty love and desire to i'll
dulgc il. The indulgence of the guilty
passion was fully proved, and that ii
was of such character as in all history
has led to the commission of the most
aggravated crimes. The presence OF
arsenic in Mrs. Champlin's house was
the opportunity. II smith was limo.
cent he could never have attempted to
bride Prof. Collier.
Justice Knapp said that the court was
unanimous in the conclusion to which
they had come. They thought it would
appear TO IL Jury that Mrs. Smith died
by poison illcgitinatcly administered
that there was motive to lead the re-
spondents TO commit the murder; thai
they had the opportunity; that Smith''
manner before and since his wife,
death, his anxiety about the analysis
his conduct during the sickness anc
death of his wife, would seem to IL jury
strong circumstaniai evidence of his Iii
rect connection with the cause of hc
death; and therefore the court sees II,
other way TO do except to commit hin
for trial.
Against the other respondent, Mrs
Champlin, the testimony is not so strong
nor perfect, and the court is aware tina
II jury might think from this tcstimon,
that she is not guilty and acquit her; bu
il shows too strong connection of he
with Smith in the history of the Grim,
TO justify the court at this stage of III,
proceedings in releasing her, and there
fore must commit her also for trial.
\ grand jury will be called at iii,
December term of the Addison count,
court Tor the further examination o
these persons, and if they are indicted
it is expected they will be tried at thu
same term.

WIDE AWAKE FOR DECEMBER, 1877
The December Wide Awake opens
with "a Fox" spirited story for the
boys, by Elizabeth KEGS. 1t has CAPT
tai frontispiece drawn by Robert Lewis,
and is altogether just such healthfnl
story of fun and adventure as ought to
be given to the boys. "Child Marian
Abroad" comes home, and will retire
into private life, we suppose, but her
name and memory will be fragrant in
the hearts of thousands of children for
years to come. There is an end also
made of Emily Howe's troubles in
"Solomon's Seals" Sophie Nays de-
lightful serial. "Prue's Pocket Book, )"
and "The Wedding at Podgcr's are
capital stories. For more solid read
ing, three fine articles are given. GLOW
to Make Fire." by j. Il. Packard,
"Uncle Sans Almanac" by w. Il. O.,
and the fifteenth paper of the "Poets, y
Homes" this one being about 4. b.
Aldrich, written by the poets friend,
George Lowell Austin, and is finely
illustrated. There are several gems OF
poems IN the number bv Edgar Fawcett,
Ella Farman, Annie Boynton Averill,
etc, together with Parlor Pasiimes,
Music, Prize Tangled Knots, etc.
The "Behaving" paper, on GLOW TO

worth the price of the number in any
family where there are little folks.

AT the convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, held in
Chicago, October 24-27, an invitation
was sent out to all the sisters in the
work, dwelling in lands beyond the
seas, in Canada and in the distant isles,
to unite with the sisters of the United
States, in the observance of the second
Thursday in December, 1877, as a
national day of thanksgiving, fasting
and PRAYER; the burden of the prayer
to be for fuller reliance upon God
and the securing of n more thorough
union of earnest PRAYER.
They believe that the remedy which
must aud will prevail over the wide
spreading curse of incompetence may
be sought and found through united
force of fasting and PRAYER. and this
will be to all bulwark of strength
which is so much needed in the great
work. II was adopted that the pledge OF
noon-day silent prayer by all the mem
bcrs of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Unions be renewed and faith
fully Observed That the leaders OF
prayer meetings on that day be changed
every hour. and topics for prayer be
presented.
The following topics were recon-
mendcd:
First-"Thc speedy restoration to
health of temperance workers." rs all
around It's, earnest women are falling
from their post of duty from physical
inability TO perform the labor. We
would suggest that the hour from two
to three PM. be spent in earnest sup
plcation for the above.
Second-To ask God 10 increase our
faith and 10 consccrate lis more fully to
this cause; also, TO arouse christian
women more thoroughly TO their
responsibility in this gospeltcmpcrancc
work.
Third-That pastors of churches
superintendent and teachers in Sunday
schools, may have courage and strength
TO perform their duty in presenting this
subject TO churches with which they are
connected.
Fourth--That our homes and ON
sanctuarics may be thoroughly cleans.
ed from this evil.
Fitih-That mass meetings be held
during the evening ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SiXth-That all pastors b. urgently
requested to make temperance the sub.
jcct of their discourse the previous
Sabbath.
Services will be held in Middlebury
on that day, consisting of IL prayer
meeting at eleven AM, II children's
meeting in the afternoon and mas,
meeting in the evening.
