The new Unitarian Church in this
city, at the corner of Yamhill and Sew
enth streets, was dedicated to religious
worship last Sunday at 2:30 p. N. Rev.
Dr. Stebbius, Of San Francisco, deliv-
cred the dedicatory sermon, remarka-
bly, eloquent discourse, listened to with
the silence and attention which this pull
pit orator always commands. The So
ciety is in a sound financial condition,
there being no Indebtedness hanging
over the church.
There is a general theory among
farmers and ranehers on the Columbia
that in those years when the total rain
iall from November to June is greatest
there is the greatest liability for June
flood. By an examination Of records, u
Is found that the theory, as general
rule, is correct. Inasmueh as the rain
fall the past Winter and Spring Is
greater than for any year in the past
ten, with the exception Of 1876, the con-
elusiOn is drawn that We may expect 10

OF course, the fall Of snow will also al

To the Editor of the Courant:
Wiehing to ohteiu faw rartlculara about
the life of the famous Gustave Dore, stepped
into that grand public storehouse of informa-
tiou, the Watkinson library, this morning,
and consulted that paragon of encyclopedias.
commonly called Appleton's. Finding therein
all the facts I wished was about to take my
departure when my eye fell on that beau-ideal
of cyclop@dias yclept Johnson's, and it occur
red to me that would see what that authority
had to say about Dore. Unhappy thought,
for whereas Appleton had given Jan. TO- 1888,
as the natal day of the great artist, johnson
gave Jan. 6, 1888, and I was now obliged
to look further to reconcile this difference.
So I found the life of Dore written by Edmund
Ollier and prefxed to the Dore Gallery. But
it set the date back to Jan. 6, 1882. My next
recourse was to the great Dictionaire DIES Con-
tenlporains, which I found coming to the
support of Olier by giving Jan, 1882, as the
date. 1 thought these two French authorities,
agreeing as they did, ought to settle the qnes-
ton, but on reading through the article in the
Dictionaire, was informed at the close that

THE NORWICH MURDER.

Expert Evidence for the Defence ON Arse
mic Eating-The Prisoners Mother Re-
called by the ProsecutiOn-Efoft Is to Inn
peach Her Testimony.
NORWICH, Jan. lin the Cobb case TODAY the
defence put DR.. P. A. Jewett of New Haven on the
stand to testify about arsenic eating. He quoted a
large number Of authorities to establish the reality
of the practice in SYRIA and to show its method and
extent. He Endorsed the authorities, who deemed it
possible for person to habituate himself to taking
large quantities OF arsenic, and thought, If it were
suddenly discontinued the effect would be fatal He
condemned DR., Doremus' method of calculation of
the whole amount Of arsenic in Cobb's body, from
Whist he found in the vital parts Alone as not rea-
BILE. On cross-examinaiion witness said he had no
personal knowledge of arsenic eating and his whole
experience and that of all reputable doctors was con-
trary to 1t. He regarded Taylor good authority on
poison, and tine states attorney quoted Tayors as
sertion that these Syrian stories ought to have no
weight in legal cases.
The state recalled the prisoners mother for cross
examination, and ELECTED statement which it tried
to disprove by calling the prisoners little girl The
aim was to impeach the value of Mrs. Waterman's
testimony. There was protracted and exciting ar
gument over allowing the child to testify at ALL and
then over the nature of the questions put to her,
very dramatic and exciting scene ensued. The court
ruled that she might testify. She then narrated
conversation with her grandmother, showing that
the latter had tempered with her as a witness.

Oa the Circuit.

10 the god old days of Michigan there
wasn't much money to speak of floating around
from hand to hani. When q householder
wanted meal, be scraped half a dozen coon
skins together and made q trade. If he want
ed mes', be killed it; and if there was need of
whisky, it was a very poor man that couldn't
find wildcat bill or q bogus half.dollar down
in his pocket. One day circuit preacher,
hunting for place in which to speak to the
dozen or twenty settlers 10 Oakland County,
halted at q for.on looking cabin beside the trail
and asked for dinner. The squattel's wife ex-
tended very cordial welcome, and said:
"Irs lucky you come along to-day, as / have
got new bag of meal, lots OF sassafras for
coffee, aud some of the best coon-mutton you
ever tasted Of Go down to the ditch and
wash up, and Pil have the dinner ready in ten
Minutes
When the preacher returned he tegan Ia
menting the hard times, and the fact that he
hadn't seen the sight of money for several
weeks. He was cheerfully trying to do good,
but he frankly confessed that be could do
much better if he could now and then hear the
jingle of money in his trousers pocket. The
woman looked wise, bat made no reply, and by
