The Buchholz Trial.

 BIOOd Stains.

 pr. TreadweIl the Expert-Finding
 Blood Stains.
 The only feature of the BuchhoIz trial yes terday was the expert testimony of Dr. J. R. Treadwell, of Boston, which related particu- larly to blood stains and the distinguishment of the blood of one animal from that of another. He stated that he had made a specially of the study of blood stains for the past six years, which had occupied his atten- ton from four to five hours day. He claimed the difference between corpuscles of 8 mans blood and that of fowls could be distinguished as readily as chair from desk, or a cabbage from a turnip. On Febru- ary 14, 1880, he made an examination of spots upon the axe alleged to have been used by Buchholz, but with no satisfactory results. The corpuscles were affected by rust and were shrivelled up. This however, was generally the result upon primary examinations. Sub sequent examinations produced striking re- suits, as follows: First spot-(On right side of blade when held in front of the examiner with the edge held downwards, close to edge,) found the round and fiat corpuscles of man. malian (human) blood, as distinguished from HASOACc Found nothing else he was sure of. Three separate examinations were made. Second spot-Right side of blade, one and one-half inch from edge found both kinds of blood, mammalian and fowl In answer to a ques: tion, the doctor said the fowl blood was more affected by the rust, and therefore was nearer the iron than the human blood, and conse- quently went to show that the fowl blood was on the axe first. He made examination of some fifteen other spots of blood with sub- stantially the same result as above stated. The witness thought the wounds described on the head of Schulte could have been made with an axe in the hands of another, and the injured person might walk mile under some circumstances. He identified pair of pants (Buchholz's) which were shown him, as pair from which he removed quantity of mate rial and tested it. He made eighteen slides, and obtained satisfactory results from sixteen of them. He found mammalian blood, but no chicken blood. The witness identified another pair of pants, called the ''army pants." He said he found in the materials taken therefrom dark-colored masses, similar to those found mixed with blood on the butt of the axe. On the cross- examination of the witness, conducted by General Smith, witness said that corpuscIes of blood were a good deal smaller than the head of pin. In 8 cubic inch there were about 30 million cor puscles

The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Jenny H. Renfrew took place from her late residence on Broadway on Wednesday afternoon at o'clock. The Rev. Joseph Brewster, of Christ church, officiated. There were about fifty friends of the deceased in at- tendance, large number of whom were her shopmates. The ceremonies were very i'm pressive, and were made more so from the fact that her daughter Minnie. nine years of age, was baptized beside the casket containing the remains of her mother, after the funeral cere- mony had been performed. During the bap- tismal service the scene was very touching one and brought tears to the eyes of many. The remains of Mrs. Renfrew were taken to Lee, Mass, yesterday for interment

 HERRMANN.
 The slim audience that witnessed the admir- able performance of Hermann, the magician, at the New Haven Opera House last evening, were highly entertained. MT. Hermann sur passes any magician that has visited our city in many years, with the exception perhaps of the deceased Heller, and in some respects his performance is even better than that of the late renowned trickster. His deception by sleight of hand is very clever and done in such an artis- tic manner as to defy detection except by the initiated. Novel and very acceptable additions to the entertainment were the performances of MT. Val Vose, capital ventriloquist, and the 'sLorelIas," who, after the manner of the Majiltons, gamboled in an impish manner all erthe stage and so astonished and amused the audience that they had to respond to loud ap- plause three different times. This evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening oppor- tunities will be given to see the performance, and we feel safe in recommending it to the public.

Released from Prison.

John Ho Shields Returns to his Home
 in this City---What he Says About
 Prison Life. -
 John Fl. Shields of this city, recently par doned by the General Assembly, was released from State prison yesterday and returned home on the o'clock train. It will be recollected that it was shown to the committee that he was not guilty of the crime for which he was convicted, and his petition for release was signed by Senator Platt, who at the time of Shields conviction was State Attorney, and by many other prominent citizens. He has been in prison over three years. In talking with our reporter last night Shields expressed great gratitude towards the friends who had interested themselves in his behalf. He says that since he has been in prison he has tried to comply with the prison rules, and has never been punished for disobedience. Since his incarceration he has improved all his leisure moments in reading and study, and he says he fatters himself that he has nearly mastered mathematics He speaks highly of the Young Mems Christian Association of Hartford, who frequently on Sundays gave musical and read ing services at the prison, which was great relist to the monotony of prison life. To a question as to the management of the prison, Shields said that it was much better now than it was under Warden Hughes. The quality of food is much better than formerly, and al- though the rules are strict, yet any one who behaved themselves were treated as well as they could expect to be in prison. He gave it as his opinion that there was no better man. aged institution of the kind in the country. He said it was the hsppiest moment of his life when MT. 0. T. Driscon called at the prison yesterday with his pardon, and he was permitted again to breathe the fresh air of heaven. He is a carriage blacksmith by trade, and bright, intelligent man, and will have no trouble to find employment. No one will be so heartless as to refuse him work be- cause of his unjust imprisonment, and his friends will DO doubt receive him with opsn arms.

Barking in Church.
 .

Nothing so offends the sensibilities of an earnest preacher of gospel truth as the pro- Ionged and simultaneous barking and cough ing by the youth of his congregation who happen to have slight colds. The administra- ton of Roberts Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cherry is clearly suggested for the cor- rection of such an annoyance. Pleasant in color, odor and taste, children like it and it always cures their cough. It is equally good for that distressful trouble, the minister's sore throat. Sample bottle ten cents, large size iftv cents
