sfR. BUTTONS STATEMENT.

The affidavit of James w. Burton was
filed, stating that since the trial and rendi-
ton of the verdict of the jury in his case,
adiudging him guilty of assault and bat
tery and assessing against him fine OF 500,
he has discovered that he can prove by w.
p. Mitchell, Esq who saw the entire diff
Guilty between him and r. S. Taylor, that
Burton in no wise provoked it, and that Tay-
lor, when he turned and used the offensive
Language toward Burton, had his hands in
his pocket, and that when he turned upon
affiant he did so in demonstrative way and
with his hands IN his pocket.
MR. MrcHEILs AFFIDAVIT.
The affidavit of w. P Mitchell was 6led
stating that he witnessed the difficulty be-
tween Burton and Taylor. He did not hear
the conversation, nor pay attention to it, not
being attracted by anything unusual in it.
He saw Taylor leave Burton and walk north
wardly on Shelby street about sixty feet,
and then turn around and say something to
Burton. The latter then struck Taylor TWO
or three times with a penknife. The blows
we're delivered while Burton and Taylor
faced each othsr, and Burton seemed 10
direct each blow he made at Taylor's shout
der. This TO Mitchell appeared strange, and
particularly SO under the circumstances.
Judge Horrigan sentenced Mr.. Burton to
sixty days on the Island, but in view of the
document of the jury and the aHidavits,
suspended it dusiug good behavior.

ADJUSTMENTS.



We are promised an intellectual treat of
the highest order in the shape of a lecture
upon Thackeray, by Miss Mary A.
Wadsworth, of Boston, who comes to US
with the reputation of a brilliant lecturer.
Those who heard Miss Wadsworth.s excel
lent address on temperance last month will
need no reminder Of her fine points as
speaker. Others will remember the beloved
name OF Thackeray, familiar as a house,
hold word, and take advantage of this rare
occasion to hear what may be said by a close
student OF his life and works. The oiject-to
help in the good wCrk of temperance-will
make the occasion one Of generAlinterest The
lecture will be given at the Central Baptist
church, Friday evening, at s o'clock. Let
there be a full house, as promise of
much more in this direction for the future
