Fiddle at His xKife,s Grave.

A dispatch to the New York Times says of the finding of the grand jury in the Riddle case that it was surprise to every one. News of his acquittal was conveyed to Riddle soon after the jury reported. He was much af- fected by the result, and the subsequent meeting with his present wife was touching in the extreme. Riddle has been in confine- ment since October 3. It is represented that lis business has suffered in the interim, and that he is now poor man. On the day of his arrest he could have sold his business for $50, ,O0O. Public sentiment in Norwich has been adverse to Riddle. The fact that thirteen out of eighteen of the grand jury voted against true bill indicates that it is a sentiment based upon prejudice. The jury was rather above the average in point of in telligsnce. After being set at liberty, Riddle spent an hour at the grave of the wife he was charged with poisoning.

Time Indicators.

Exact Time from the Observatory Clock by Tezegrnph-Am Hmportant Invention.
 One of the most recent and important electric inventions recently put in successful operation in this city is what are known as
 sstime indicators" This little instrument,
 which is similar to a telegraph sounder, is about six inches square, and placed at diff ferent points about the city, in the offices of merchants and manufacturers, indicates the exact time at the Winchester Observatory. This little instrument is 50 governed by the laws of electricity that it gives every beat of the observatory clock with remarkable precis- ion. At the fifty fifth minute of every hour it gives an uninterrupted signal, and at the fifty. fifth second of every minute it commen- ces beating double until the sixtieth second is reached, when it goes on as before. At the Western Union Telegraph office the opera tors will be able to transmit the beats of this
 clock to every part of the country, and by
 cable to Europe. The observatory clock from which the time is taken is never more than a sixth of a second from the true time, and by
 this telegraphic connection the exact time is assured to those connected. with 1t. Among
 others who have connected their business off
 ces with the clock are Mallory, Wheeler & Co.,, o. B. North & Co.,, Sargent & Co.,, W. & E. T.
 Fitch, Henry Hooker & Co., Benjamin &
 Ford, J. B. Kirby & Son, City Bank and John
 R. Cramer. It. is is also expected that the Unior
 Depot and other places will soon be connected
 with the observatory clock. When the entire
 system is completed, it will be in charge of J
 MurrayF airchild, which will insure perfect l working of the system.

An eloquent politician, during the last great campaign of the Whig party, suddenly left the speakers platform never to reappear. He should have treated his cold with few doses of Roberts Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cherry, and cured his cough and sore throat at the beginning of the trouble. This medi- cine tranquillizes pain in the chest and heals the exacerbated lungs. It is the best cure for sudden colds attainable. Sample bottle ten cents large aiza fifty cents.
