The Post says: The above table, which is transcript of the one kept by the clerk of the jury, does not fully explain their true sen- timents in regard to the guilt or innocence of the accused. On the first ballot five voted for murder in the first degree, five for the second degree, one for manslaughter, and one, James B. Rose of Suffeld, for acquittal. As the balloting proceeded the first degree men and the juror who had cast his vote for man. slaughter were willing, for the sake of ver- dict, to vote for the second degree, but even be reached. It will be seen by this explana- ton that the sentiments of the jury were eleven for murder in the second degree and one for acquittaL Another trial will be had in March.

MIR. sPAULD1Na's LECTURES.

Though the preceding lectures in this course on Rome have been of very great interest, the lecture on Wednesday evening on "Ancient Roman Amusements" will be likely to be more interesting than the previous ones to most people. With the assistance of his superb illustrations the lecturer will describe the Ro- man drama, the famous races in the circus maximus, remote imitation of which some people may remember was attempted some years ago by Barnum in the Hippodrome at New York, and the brutal contests of the gladiators in the arena. In connection with this last portion of the subject views of the Coliseum will be shown and an account of the recent valuable excavations within its walls will be given. For the remaining three lectures reserved seats can be obtained at Judd's for 75 cents and $1, and this is the last opportun- ity to obtain course tickets, for after this lec- ture none will be offered for sale.

Church Notes.

Prof. Llewellyn Pratt, of Williams College, occupied the pulpit of Center church yester- day, preaching two able discourses The text was, "Whereupon, o King Agrippa, was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.'' The ap- plioation of the theme was very forcible and impressive, and among the special lessons conveyed was one to the young, that of emu lating Paul, in obedience to the appeals of conscience while 1t speaks in youth before the days come when the heart may exclaim, have no pleasure in them.
 Yesterday afternoon Rev. MT. Hart, pastor of the First Congregational church, preached from the words as found in St. Mark 13, 36 37 verse. The discourse was an interesting one, and was listened to with great deal of interest by a large audience.

About o'clock yesterday morning John Myers was seen coming out of Ives bakery, corner of State and Elm streets. He was ar rested by Officer McMahon and taken to the station house. An investigation revealed the fact that the burglar had entered the bakery through the cellar door by bursting it open, and had thus gained access to the room above. He had ransacked the money drawers, but as he had nothing on his person it is presumed that he found nothing. This is the same fel- low who was before the City Court on Satur. day morning charged with vagrancy, and who wanted to go to jail, but Judge Pardee would not accommodate him. This time he is in a fair way to bring up at Wethersfeld.
 Last evening William J. Markey went to see his wife, who lives out at service on the corner of Chapel and Dwight streets. Hewas intoxicated and the family desired him to leave, but he declined to do so. policeman was called and Markey went to the lookup for the night.

The Key Note of Structure.
detroit Free Press. ]


Professor Lowering, of Harvard college,
declares that all structures, large and small,
have definite note of vibration. He tells a
story of a fiddler who came along when the
workmen were erecting the Bridge at Cole
brook Dale-the first iron bridge ever built
and said he could fiddle it down. He played
away until having struck its key note he
made it sway so violently that the workmen
stopped him. When the machinery of one
of the Lowell mills is running at a certain
rate of speed, the building will shake so as to
empty pail of water. 1t has to be run fast
er or slower than the vibratory note of the
mill. The muleteers of the Alps tie up the
bells of their animals, as they have learned
that the tinkle may bring down an avalanche.
Glasses can be broken by the human voice !;
and an organ if it touches the key note of
the edifice has been known to shake it from
top to bottom. Some persons have on this
principle explained the falling walls of JeIi
chO al the blast of the rams horn.
Perhaps, too, it will account for the other
wise unaccounted fall of two iron bridges the
past ten days. The rolling Of the trains over
them may have coincided accidently with the
vibratory note of the bridge and shaken it or
swayed it to pieces; although the theory that
on the St. Charles bridge the train ran off
and broke it down is far more plausible. At
any rate this property of matter is exceeding
ly suggestive and possibly covers more points
not otherwise explainable.

EuCenie's Souvenirs of Her Son.

The poor Empress, writes correspondent
the Boston Journal, in her melancholy seclu-
sion Camden House has the sympathy of
everybody, including the ladies who are her
old enemies, and who would not admit once
upon time that she was good wife and
mother. She received the Queen of Eng land
the other day in the famous blue boudoir,
where has collected ali the souvenirs which
must hereafter have only a tragical interest
for her. There under glass case she keeps
the casts of the right hand of the Emperor
and the young Prince, and these two hands
are represented as holding the telegraph dis
patch announcing the adoption of the law or
dGring the reconstruction of the column in
the Place NendOme. There is also on a
dainty shelf little white saiinS rosettei that
the Prince Imperial wore on the day of his
first communion. By singular stroke of
tact in the midst of the Tulleries, preserved
in some miraculous manner from even sin
gle stain. There, too, on pedestal and care
fully shielded from harm, is a marble bust of
the Prince, which was likewise uDinjured by
the fire. The grief of the ex-Empress is over
whelming, and she wanders from room to
room weeping the whole day long. As the
bed-chamber and the study of the Emperor
have been kept exactly as they were on the
day of his death, so are the rooms of the
young Prince left precisely as he Quilted
them never to return, and the beds of both
the Emperor and the Prince are constantly
covered with fresh yiolets. In the chamber
of the Emperor stands a large wardrobe
which contains every object which Napoleon
III. took from the Tuilleries when he went to
the war that on the 4th of September, 1870
he would call his own, namely, his uniforms.
