George Gould, Of Kentucky, and in charge
of the Millersville Female College, testified
that his mother was a sister OF Thomas
Oliver. He saw the plaintiff in Louisville
in 1854; she was living with his nncle,
Thomas Oliver, in a house on walnut
street. from which his family had previously
moved. Plaintiff commenced Whiting 10
witness in 1870, and continued to do Sc
until about two weeks ago. Inc genera
purport of the letters was, that II witness
did not use his influence with oilVef 10
have him pay plaintiff some money she
would prosecute him for bigamy II DIS
grace the whole family. He knew thai

Trial of Rev. Mr.. T~aimage.
New York, March "a.
Mr.. Talmace has secured the services of
Rev. DIR. Spear as counsel, In the trial
which begins to-day, at the Clinton street
church, Brooklyn. The feeling runs very
high, among the denominational brethren,
regarding lis case. One OF his leading
friends says This trial is a jealous hunt of
a great man by little ones. They can't get
within gun-shot of him, mentally, so they
seek to kill him, enthusiastically. They
might as we'll try to lombard Gibraltar
with thistledown. We believe the pastor
TO be as square as a die, and as straight as a
string. If he wasn't, he wouldn't suit us.
In any event, the Tabernacle will stand by
him, winter and summer, and hold up his
hands as long as God spares him. And
that settles it.

and a negro, who was driving a fouf-mule
team across went down with it, and was
crushed on the shoals a hundred feet be-
low. The total damages in the hye coun-
ties cannot be estimated.
TO General Legislation by
Congress.
WASHINGTON, March "a.
Speaker Randall is strongly opposed to
the movement for general legislation by
Congress during the present session, and
there is good reason to believe that even if
a majority Of the Democratic caucus favor
the proposition, he will hold back the an
nouncement of the full list of committees
until the appropriation bills shall have
been passed by the House, in the hope that
a concurren resolution for final adjourn
ment can then be pushed through before
the advocates of general legislation can
effectually muster their forces to preycntit

Boston, March "a.
The "Post' says the business prospects
are reviving. The factories are general,
resuming, or making ready to resume
work, and if the Foreign market could be
still more rapidly extended by intelligen'
legislation, their prospects would improve
at a speedy pace. Even real estate, which
is the last to rally, feels the effect of the re-
viving trade, and improves its figures.
