Snow HILL, Nd, June l7.-At the

;pation Of witnesses for the State III rc-
buttal was resumed. Several were qses.
toned, and then both sides q, ciaIea
that their evidence was an IN. NJ,
Samuel H. Townsend, State At.orney ,ot
Woreester county, opened the argument
ON the mart of the State and explained
tha offrnse for which the traverser Is on
trial. He recited the various degrees Vi

tad the act and that was the no'Ivo
which induced the perpetratlon oi she
cri,ne for which she is now upon ner
trial That there was malice prepense
there WAS abundant proof upon MS Niew
of Testimony. He did not believe the
theory Of chloral poisoning OF lha, vi az
cidental shooting had been ihaue ou''
The weight of testimony was thae ai.e-

mart and that she contemplateu 'hAt
which would produce serious reshIts.
Al the night sessior Mr.. A. L. BaInes
made the oDening argument for the de-
tense. He analyzed the testimony for
the State and said there had been noth-
ing to warrant the assumption that the
shot wounding Miss Hearn was other
than accidental.
At the close of Mr.. Barnes argument
court adjourned until eight o'clock TO-
morrow morning.
This day has exceeded all preceding
ones so far as interest in tie trial OF Miss
Duer il concerned. At the morning sts-
sion the court room was lhronged, put
during the afternoon even the steps
lead ng to the gallery were Gro wded with
ladies', including almost the entire female
white population Of the town. Ihe pro-
ceedings were of an uninteresting char
acter, rs is usual in the last stage OF an
important homicide trial. The people
hsreabout are unused to such scenes and
they came with their infant children,
some of whom varied the proceedings
with yells and shrieks.
Tomorrow George W. Purnell, Esq,

for the defense and Henry Page, Esq,

PREsERvING HUMAN RODIES
THE PROBABLE RESULT OF A RECENT
INVENTION.

THE PROBABLE RESULT OF A RECENT
INVENTION.
In the course of she .ch ofWm. Adam
SOIL, whose death as announced in yes
terday's GAZETTE, the Philadelphia
Times says:
"The most important invention that !
William AGamson ever prodoced was
one that reached its accomplishment but
a short time since, and which is probably
destined to revolutlonize his firms bus.-
ness. 1t was only three weeks ago that
a number of well-known merchants we
invited to witness its workings. The in
vsntion consists of an arrangement 10y
which the carcass sofa horse, with its
ltgs anputated at the knees, is subject' d
10 a steam process in such way that
every particle of OF | and fat is removed
unit the flesh and entrails remain only
in the shape of dry powder, which is
priced in the manufacl ure of fertilizers.
The horses bones when removed are
found perfectly clean and even highly
polished, aud the larger ones are found
to be of service in the cutting of handles
fr cutters. By this self-same process
Mr.. Adamson contended that everything
except that of a solid character could be
extracted from human body, which
cou'd then be thoroughly injected with
parraffine aud the corpse lett in a perfect
life-like condition and possessing an ap-
pearance similar to that of wax. He
said that the body would then be found
to be hard and imperishable. Alluding
TO this in jocular way-although hold
ii 6 that there was no obstacle in the
way Of tie fulhlment-he said that q
family by means fhis process could have
their dead ancestors sitting around the
parlor looking just as natural as in life,
and the only care they would require
would be an occasional dus,ing 10 keep
them iresh-looking.

A CO,nncil Caucus.

Last night caucus Of the Democratic

Commissioner and Clerk of the Ma ket.
1t is reported, this morning that the ticket
selected was Thos. j. Bowen for Street
Commissioner and John n. Ogle for
Clerk Of the Market, but tins report is
Undoubtedly unfounded, as the general
impression is, and some Of the meal-
bers say so, that the caucus Adjourned

An Engine Improved.

Engine No. 40, of the p, W. & b. r.
has been improved by the addition of a
patent spark and cinder arrester. This
attachment is placed at the front end of
the boiler, and being covered looks like
an extension of that part of the engine.
The sparks and cinders are thrown into
this receptacle, instead of going out OF
the smoke-stack, as in other engines.
All the passenger engines on the Balti-
more & Ohio RailIoad are provided with
this attachment.

A Question In History.

Among the test questions in history
gwen to some Of the pupils of School
No. !, during the present examination
course, is the following: "Why was not
John Adams reelected President 2" In
answer the pupil is expected to recite
MIR: Adams advocacy of the "Alien and
Sedition laws and other Objectionable
measures, which served to render his ad-
ministration unpopular and were used
as arguments against him during his sec
ond campaign. But suppose the pupil
should write the simple, but truthful
answer, "Because he did not get the
votes of sufficient number of States"
would it be accepted?

you spend your money at home.
Spend your money at home, for there
is where you get it. 1t is your duty.
Spend your money at home, because,
when ii is for you to get credit, il is Of
your own town merchants you have TO
get it, and they must wait for the

4 Brave Despcrndo.


During the recent visit to this place
Of ID. Ii. Haskell, town site agent for
the Central Pacific Railroad Company,
We obtained from him some of the par
ticulars Of the dastardly attempt upon
the life of his son. Dudley Haskell,
only n short time ago. Dudley, who is
quite young. being yet scarcely twenty
one years of age, had some men en-
gagged repairing q road in a narrow
canyon, nea Aurora. A desperate
character, known in that section as
Ellis, came up the canyon on horse
back, driving a1ot of cattle while Has
keli's men were thus employed, and
simply because n horse and cart
being used in the work, was not re-
moved fOm his way quite quickly
enough to suit his regal pleasure.
Ellis flew into n towering passion and
without the slightest proyocation drew
his pistol and attempted to kill young
Haskell while in tho act OF leading the
horse attached to the cart mentioned,
out OF his way in fact had 1t not been
for the rare presence OF mind Of the
have accomplished his object; but sim
u~lianeously with tho crack OF the pistol
Haskell dropped TO the earth, and
writhcd IN we'll feigurd agony, but the
supposed accomplishment of his diabol-
zeal work did not seem TO appease the
brutality OF the man, for he was only
diverted from his purposo Of firing again
at she o PROSTATE form before him,
by the exclamation "Don't shoot him
again, you have already killed him."
from II OF the men present. Turning
to the speaker the desperate seemed
about to infict summary vengeance up
on him for his tcmeriiy, but suddenly
changed his mind and rode slowly
away.
Under the belief that he had "killcd
his man" Ellis soon increased his
speed. and leaving the cattle TO reach
their owner as best they could, forced
a hoy, who WAS assisting with the stock,
to accompany him. and struck out for
Il more safe and secluded locality for
himself. The boy, OH some pretcnse,
however, escaped from his captor after
having ridden only n few miles, and
hasencd back. Arms were at once
procured and pursuit made, but the
valiant rufian had made good his es.
cape. No quarrel or i'll will had ever
existed between Ellis and Haskell. and
the murdernus assault upon tho latter
must DO regarded AZ nothing but u cow
ardly aud unprovoked attempt upon
the life Of an invfrcnsiyo unarmed citi-
xpn.
