assented to agree to an acquittal provided the court should be referred the question as to the privilege of the jury to bring in verdict in the second degree. This, jurymen as sured him, was the law as laid down by the court, but he wished it referred. They in sisted. as they had done until exhausted, that the accused was either guilty way up to the top or innocent clear to the bottom. The question was put and the jury had another season of wrestling with the obstinate juror, and finally reported. Various of the jurors were evidently deeply incensed in the matter and unable to restrain their feelings.
 On having the case committed to their hands an informal vote was taken. It stood for acquittal and for conviction. One of these votes was cast by a member not as an expression of his feelings, as stated by 8 brother juryman, but to start the ball In mo- tion. The three who actually voted for con- viction were Messrs Perry, Brotherton and Hotchkiss. The next was formal ballot and stood for acquittal and 3 for first degree. Two more were taken, standing the same. The three following stood for acquittal, 2 for first degree and for second. Then right straight through thereafter 1t was Il for acquittal to for conviction, the one being for second de- gree. The first four votes were taken during Friday. The 9th, 9th, 7th, sth, 9tb, 10th, 11th, and 12th were taken on Saturday. None were taken on Sunday. The 18th, 14th and 18th were taken yesterday. They had taken the 14th when they reported for in, structions last evening. The 18th ballot was directly after their return.

 MARY ANDERSON. Tomorrow evening this famous young tragsdienne will visit this city, appearing as 'sParthenia'' in ''Ingomar" As heretofore, she is sure to be received by an overfowing audience. An exchange truly says: 'H there is one woman on the American stage to- day who can be said to be worthy in every respect to the laureIs laid aside by Miss Cush- man, it is Mary Anderson. Endowed with grace and beauty; with mobile features, pos sessing a fine voice, thoroughly trained-a voice the very qualities of which are sufficient to command success; and lastly, but most important of all, true love of her art. Miss Anderson is destined to achieve position in the profession rarely attained by man or woman." On Thursday evening Miss Ander- son will appear as the Countess in Sheridan Knowles beautiful play entitled Glove, or the Countess of the Serf." The sale of reserved seats has been very large, and those intending to be present will do well to apply at the box office this morning.
 FREAKS.
 But small audience gathered at the New Haven Opera House last evening to witness the Criterion Comedy Company in the farcical comedy entitled Breaks, but an audience of twice the size could not have very we'll filled the house with more noise resulting from shouts of laughter. If no particular praise is due to the play, it may be truly said that the company succeeded in keeping the audience in a constant state of jollity, which at times reached an unusual uproar. The character of "Theophilus Crank" WAS well taken by MT. F. F. Mackay, and the intensely ridiculous scenes between him and "Theodolinda Gol- burn," an old spinster with seven act trage- dy, sustained in capital manner by Miss Louise Sylvester, brought down the house with shouts of laughter. The company is a good one, and the several points are rendered in an acceptable manner. It is safe to say that more evidence of being intensely amused has been shown by an audience in the O pera House this season.

Mr. Jones' voice was heard giving the greatly wished for intelligence, so that the reporters could hear it.
 Eleven to One.
 ''Eleven to one" was whispered throughout the assembly from mouth to mouth. That was the way the jury stood, eleven for acquit- tai and one for conviction. The one standing out was MT. Hotchkiss, of Prospect, and he was for murder in the second degree The news soon spread from mouth to mouth as to the status of the jury. MT. Jones shook MT. and Mrs. Hayden by the hand with all energy, and it seemed as if he could not shake too heartily.
 The Jury and MT. Hayden.
 The jury had now shaken hands with each other, and bade each other farewell, and now began to circulate and one after another went up and shook hands heartily with the prisoner, who received all agreeably and pleas antly, and conversed with some of them briefly and spiritedly. The crowd of people seemed 10th to go, and the sheriff and assist ants were very busy for some time to get the people started into the lobby and down stairs. MT. Jones asked for few moments grace for the friends of Mir. and Mrs. Hayden to tender their congratulations. The old moth- CT of Mr. Hayden seemed overcome almost with parental feeling and emotion, and his father was deeply affected. Mir. Hotchkiss, the juror who hung out, was berated roundly by his fellow jurymen as the only man who stood out from almost the first. It appears that the jury were during nearly the whole of the time while they were out, laboring with the one who stood out, and they were warm and vigorous in their expressions con- corning him, and it was plain to see that they were out of all manner of patience and perfectly exasperated. It appears that the last report of the jury prior to their final report was to accom- modate this refractory ssjuryman, he having
