MRS. RAPER SENTENCED.
Two Years at Albany--An Effort to Obtain
purInn.


Mrs. Martha Raper, recently convicted Of as
sault and battery with intent to kill John NJ.
Buckley, was brought before Justice Hagner,
in the Criminal Court, yesterday, to receive
sentence. Her attorneys, Messrs. Williams and
Rowe, werc also present. The circumstances
attending this affair were some time since made
public aud when the true facts connected with
the shooting became known the sympathies of
the community went out to the woman, as more
sinned against than SHINING. These circunl-
stances, being anterior to the shooting were not
proof admissible in defense, aud although her
attorneys struggled for their admission, the
court excluded them. Undoubtedly the jury
would have returned verdict for assault only,
had it been consistent with the instructions of
the Judge, but no alternative was left them
except to find a verdict, guilty rs indicted
His Honor, in passing sentence, said that IL
was painful duty for him to perform. But he
had elected to execute the law, and in occupy
ing the position he did he must do so no mat
ter how he might feel. The Jury, he thought,
been much come before them. not accepted rs
evidence, which was likely to make them vary
from their high sense as duty rs jurors.
They had recommended her to the mercy of
the court aud that should have its weight. 1t did
in all cases with him, but would especially in
this. The circumstances previously referred
TO, which ought to have had no effect upon the
jury, might affect the court, rs the situation
was different. This was very serious case :
yet he felt justified III bcstowing the sm sllest
sentence the law permitted, but it must not be
regarded as Il precedent. lie then sentenced
her to the Albany peuitentiary for two years,
but granted Il stay of execution upon the ap-
pliCatiOn of her counsel.
So much sympathy and feeling has been
manifested Ivy the citizens for Mrs Raper that
her counsel will try and obtain her pardon.
Prominent men have not only signiied their
Willingness to sign II petition, but promised to
exert their best endeavors to secure her release
from confinement.

caught fire about five o'clock last evening aud
the flames spread so rapidly that soon the

tar boiling over into the furnace. An alarm
was turned in from box 60, aud the Fire De.

minutes after the fire started, but the material
was so intlamniable that water had little effect

WITH a simplicity that is really
charming, an exchange compliments
the Tennessee Legislature by saying
"they did the best they could,
meaning, we presume, that they did
the best they knew how. We adj
nit that there were a number Of
gentlemen in that unsayory combl-
nation, who are men of real worth,
and, if their voices had ruled, our
State would now be infinitely better
of. But, unfortunately, they were
in a hopeless minority. But, OF the
majority, we are willing to admit
that most of them did ''the best
thew could" Where little is given
little is required, and nothing much
can be expected of a thick-skullec
greenhorn, with NJ room in his nod
die for the entertainment OF al
idea. When they do the best they
know how. it isn't much to boast OF
