WHERE He WAS STABBED. -"Gen
tlemen of the jury" said Tuscarora
lawyer, "what kind of swearing has
been done in this case? Here we
have physician, a man who. from
his high and noble calling, should be
regarded as one who would scorn to
stain his soul with perjury or be
guilty of giving. utterahce to an un-
truth. But what did he testify. gen.
tlemen? | put the question to him
plainly, as you all heard: "Where
was this man stabbed?" And what
was his reply? Unblushingly, his
features cool and placid as though
cut from marble, he replied that the
man was stabbed about an inch and a
half to the left of the medium line,
and about an inch above the umbili-
Gus, and yet we have proved by three
unimpeachable witnesses that he
was stabbed just below the Young
America hosting works" - Elk o

Down. ut was raining, and the
streets were gloomy and uninviting.
An expire wagon headed the pro
cession, in which sat gray-hared
old lady beneath, an old umbrella.
which partially sheltered her and
the driver from the rain. She was
bowed with grief and sorrow, and
wore that tired, weary aspect of de-
spair which hetokened hopelessness.
just behind her was a rough coffin
of plain, undressed pine-a pauper
coffin. What it contained could only
he guessed by inference. In lum-
Der wagon just behind the coffin
came q family of children, drenched
with rain aud shivering in their wet
rags. But they were ali crying and
bowed with anguish. 1t was sad

sorrow in langua e which spoke loud
er than. words. Aa aged widow, too
proud to give her deceased consortsa
pauper's burial. A sad and sorrow
ful family in borrowed wagon. No
friends, no hearse, no coffin bnt a

Another /" Good Man" Fallen.

Charles r. Stickney, of Fall River, Mass,
has been for many years one of the leading
lights in that famous nest of industry. He
was a heavy stakeholder in several of their
manufacturing companies, president of a
national bank and of their gas companies !;
had served the people four years as Senator,
and was prominent candidate for the last
nomination of Lieutenant.Governor of the
state. But his bottom has fallen out, and
he has followed the steps of Chace and
Hathaway, the noted Fall River defaulters.
The amount embezzled is stated at $4,000,
but it is thought that the figures will be
much larger when all the facts come out,
An irregular gas company's note was allowed
to go to protest on Saturday, and Others
will probably follow till the full amount of
crooked paper issued is known. Stickney' s
friends volunteered to procure funds TO a
certain sum if it would set him right, but
their offer was declined. He is very weak
excepting during periods Of mental aberra
ton, when great exertion is required to quiet
him. The defalcation has caused grea
sensation wherever Stickney was known, al
he was considered one of the most solid ant
honest of business men. He has been con
nected with Fall River manufacturing in
terests for many years, owns stock in NOR
concerns there than any other man, and is
leading officer in many corporations, beside
being director in the Old Colony railroad
Six months ago he was considered wort
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
but being associated with Chace an
Hathaway in many ways he is suppose
to have been ruined by them, and afte
ward resorted to illegal means to better h
fortunes.

The work of specie resumption seems to
have been practically accomplished already.
On Saturday the Secretary of the Treasury
addressed a note to the United States Treas
urer as follows: "On and after the 10th day
of this month, you are authorized at the
treasury in Washington, and at the several
sub.treasuries in the United States, to ex-
change standard silver dollars for United
States notes" And on the same day Secre.
tary Sherman said; The gold premium is
only at onefourth of one cent to-day, and
there is no reason why that premium should
not be rubbed out. | expect that great
many silver dollars will be paid in for Gus
toms, dues, and in exchange for four per
cent. bonds, but the amounts thus paid in
will naturally be paid out again. All silver
certificates received by the treasury enable
it to use corresponding amount of silver
dollars | am confident that the treasury
will be able to exchange silver dollars for
all the United States notes presented" The
secretary, referring to reports that he con
templated issuing minor gold coins be
fore January |, 1879, disclaimed such an in
tention. He desired it understood, however
that he now has sufficient gold in the treas
ury for resumption purposes, and will b.
ready to carry out the provision of the re
sumption act January LIST.
