AToUcH1Na SCENE.
There was a dramatic scene in the
Hayden murder trial at New Haven, Conn.,
Dec. 10, during the cross-examination of Mrs
Hayden, when Mr.. Waller asked the follow
ing question:: "Now, madame, you needn't
answer this question until you are told to by
tho court. Mr.. Hayden, you say, is your hus.
band, the father of your three children, and
he has been devoted husband to loving
wife for between eight and nine years. You
have constantly maintained pleasant rela-
tons, and there has been and is now the Ut
most confidence existing between you. You
are convinced Of his innocence, and know that
if he is found guilty he must suffer ignomin-
ious punishment Under these circumstances
would you not, under oath, as you are, make
misstatement in order to save him from
punishment" There was no answer. The
witness burst into tears, as did nearly every
woman in the court, and tears glistened in
the eyes ofmembers of the sterner sex. A ST.
lence as of death pervaded the room, and the
counsel In the defense Kissed out: ut is an
insult to the witness" Waller defended his
action, but the court ruled the question an
improper one.

GRAIN TRADE.
The Mark Lane Erprcss of Dec. 9.
says as rule farmers interests In England
have suffered by the delay In their operations
caused by frost, but In Scotland blowing is
much in arrear. Deliveries Of home grown
wheat were slightly less than the previous
week, but In consequence Of there being
no material improvement in quality, business
was very slow both In London ana at country
markets, with little or no change In prices
Imports Of foreign wheat have again been
large, amounting to 1854 quarters, received
at London during the week, and 100000 quar-
ters at Liverpool during the past fortnight
These supplies. though doubtless in excess Of
present requirements, have exercised very
little depressing effect on trade, which
possesses. many qualities Of inherent
strength, the principal of which are
the rise in American markets, and the antici-
pated decrease in the American supply. It
appears likely that increased activity, perhaps
even excitement may be felt before the close
of the year, a. further st. Petersburg ship
