Tact; contained in tho following state
Incnt made in your issue OF the 18th inst 4
I''It is somewhat remarkable that in these
| fast three cases, estate vs.. l.. Charlie
|"ville, State vs.. Sam and Wash Williams,
Estate VS.. II. II. Biggs') the parties ha,
|"all been found guilty, Of the Scvera
charges against them by former inries,
|"and new trials granted. The same YER
|'',licts were rendered by ,j,ries at the pres.
Sent term Of Court" Now the records
show that neither of these cases had ever
been tried 1T any previous term, and
consequently, no ver.liets could have been
rendered OF new trials ordered therein,
Nor does the statement correspond with
the facts in any other three eases on tlle1
.locket of the Court. The verdict Of the1
Hurry OH the former trial of the ease of in
lila BrOsset was that the accused was gull
'ty of murder; the verdict rendered ut the
present term was for manslaughter, with
Recommendation Of mercy quite differ
ent. III the case of the State vs.. VIM.
Everage, the accused was convicted and
sentenced to hard labor in the Icnitcn-
|tiary at u previous term, and on appeal To
the Supreme Court, the, verdict aud sen
tence were set aside, not on account of any
question raised IN the. District Court, but
solely by reason of the unconstitutional
ty Of an Act Of the Legislature Of 1850,
on the subject Of challenges in criminal
eases. 1t was the fault Of the law-na-
king power and not the Courts, that gave
average new trial, and saved him from
the ,,el,itentiary, through the reconInlen-
lation Of mercy by the jury that last tried
the ease. See the opinion and decree Of
Supreme Court Oh file in the Clerks Of
lice. In the case, Of the, State VS.. Clay
Holly, the verdict was the same as for
merly, but the new trial was granted on
the testimony of the best citizens, who
still think the accused is innocent Of the
charge. These are the only eases in which
new trials have been ordered ut former
terms and tried at the present term. osal

The Baptist Convention.

This body Of active Christians, repre-
senting one Of the leading churches I'M
the United States, convened in this city
on Friday the 9Th inst, it being the 3Al|
annual session of this denomination.
Notwithstanding the excessive heat of the
weather and the expressed doubt Us to|
the ability Of our citizens to furnish ac-
cOmmOdatiOns to Large mum BIER of visit
ors, no Less than one hundred and fifty|
delegates were present, many Of them &C.
oOmpanied by their wives and 'daughters,|
besides numbers of other visitors. Sucll|
m influx of strangers caused our quiet
city, at this season Of the year, to wear al
lively aspect, the streets being constantly
thronged with pedestrians. Be it said tO|
the credit Of the proverbially hospitableI
people Of Natchitoches, that not only
ample accommodations were furnish
ed to the delegates, but several families
who desired to entertain guests failed to-
obtain them.
The Convention was composed of not
only men of more than ordinary intellect
but the entire proceedings were marked
with commendable spirit Of HARMONY
and earnest zeal in their work which pro-
claimed the jealous spirit actuating the
delegates. The majority Of the members
were men whose locks and beard were
beginning to whiten with the frOsts oil
time, while the remainder were those in
the noon-tide Of life, their features ex-
pressive Of energy and ardent and active
interest in the cause for which they la-
bored. 81 .Fe ss a.p
During the session Of the Convention
services were constantly held in the
Methodist aud Baptist churches, these
etli6ces being threnged with citizens of
all denominations, deairOas Of listening I'd
the liscourses Of the eloquent diyines in
attendance. A very attractive feature Of
these meetings. was the singing which
was simply splendid, particularly the
quartette of ministers who frequently
conducted this part Of the exercises.
The Convention adjourned last Mon
day, after one Of the most harmonious $685.
sions ever held and having accomplished
| more satisfactory labor than at any pre-
vio,is meeting. The amount tof, funds
raisal footed up something like $500, .
larger ainoAnt than has been heretofore
subscrihed ut any convention. 81 / I'd u.
When the delegates departed hOmewartl
they universally expressed their pleasure
ct the hospitable manner in which they
had been entertained and thanks for the
cotrtesies extended to them from every
direction. Natchitoches has certainly
gained new laafslS IL that wers pqssible)
for vhe hospitality and generosity Of hel
cltiscns to strangers visiting their city,
and assuredly deserve the encomiumi
bestowed upon them for their disint eEest-
ed spirit 81 ffiendliness and kind feeling.
We IN glad to know that the delegates
we're pleased and satia6ed with thsir ne
ception AUD trea&nent during their %
ioarn IN our nilst.

MICE THIS WINTER.-Mice are very pro-
life; a single pair will often multiply to fifty
or more during single season, as the earlier
broods reproduce one or more generations.
Usually large proportion of each summers
growth is killed Off winter, if autumn rains
saturate the soil. At this writing, the ground
is still dry, dee p down, in several States. If
at any point the soil freezes solid before co
pious rains, extra caution should be taken to
protect fruit trees and shrubs against mice.
The methods we have often described, such
as banking earth around the trees tramping
the snow hard about the trunks as it falls; /;
putting tarred paper to six inches above
ground and little below, etc.-AmericGn

that on Tuesday evening, Mayor BRoDERICK

citizen kissed her three times against her
wishes. The worthy citizen denied the soft

however, testified under oath that he had
done what she charged whereupon the may

price of stolen kisses at one dollar and half
