THE trial of the assassin Gui eau is now
rap dly drawing to a close The que
tions of law, involved in the instructions
20 be given to the jury by the tour, have
been argued upon prayers by the respect
tive counsel. Judge Cox has rendered
his decision upon these points, from which
it IS manifest that his instructions will
be seriously detrimental to the theory Of
the defense with regard TO the irr, sponsi-
hi ity of the assassin. Judge Cox also
took notice of the question of Jurisdiction,
which was raised by two Of he prayers OF
the defense, and decided in favor of the
validity of the Courts jurisd ctjnn, decid-
ing t'a' the jurisdiction OF the Court
where The iltaI stroke is inflicted is com
plete, both in England aud in this coun-
try. The case is now oc:ng argued to the
jury by counsel and the probabilities are
that the next issue of the TIMES will an
nounce the verdict.

Chief Engineer Melville.

Chief Engineer George w. Melville,
who is making the hazardous and al
most hopeless search for the missing
boat and party of the Jeanette under
command of Lieutenant Chipp, is a
man of very striking appearance He
was born in New York, and in his
young days his family was well known
among the old Knickerbockers. He is
heavily-built man, weighing about 100
pounds, and is about five feet eleven
inches in height. OF large and power
full frame, he is of light complexion
and has bright, piercing blue eyes. He
is supple and skilled athlete. When
he returned from the Arctic in the
Tigress, in November, 1873, he visited
the engineers office in the Navy yard,
and, when met by his brother officers,
the natural question was asked: Well,
George, how do you feel?'' He an
swered: GAS bright as new uniform,
and l never felt better;'' and, to prove
his assertion, turned handspring with
out the least difficulty. When serving
his time in the machine-shop he could
do more work in the same time than
any other man, and when passing
through the shop if he met an obstruc-
ton no higher than his shoulders he
would spend no time in going around it,
but would jump over it with the greatest
ease.

A Farmer Under a Roller.

Robert WEIGH, farmer living one
mile east of town, was rolling piece of
plowed land the other day with pair
of oxen as the motive power. In some
way he was caught under the roller,
and the team stopped when half way
over him. There they stood quietly
chewing their cud until he had nearly
dug himself out, when they deliberately
started and pulled the roller up on his
shoulders and stopped again. Their
standing SO long in one place attracted
the attention of neighbors at work in an
adjoining field, and they went over and
relieved WEIGH from his unpleasant
position. He had been under the roller
for nearly an hour. He was not hurt,
but very dusty, and hitching up his
oxen went on with his work, but was
careful not to get caught under that
roller again with those oxen.-Dover
