New York Stnte Charities.
62,sO4 Persons Cared for During the Year
 nt Cost Of S0,0S3,O5T.

The annual report of the State Board of Charities, of New York State, shows that the value of property in charge of the Board is Sl3, 1903, ITS, of which S7, 520, 933 is personal estate. The ro- ceipts of the fiscal year ended Sept 30, 1883, were S10, 772, ,269; expenditures, S9, 9S3, 037 number of persons under care Oct. l, 52,s04. There were 11,848 insane persons in the various institutions of the State on Oct. 1.
 The Board recommends the purchase of the Simpson farm of 130 acres adjoin- ing the Willard Asylum, at Ovid, at a cost not to exceed S100 per acre. The Board criticises the care of asylums in New York and Kings counties, and rec ommends that the care of the insane there be placed in each county under a separate department, entirely independ- ent of the Departments of Charities and Correction.
 The average number of blind in State institutions is 400. There are now six State institutions for deaf mutes, where 686 males and 513 females are cared for. The five reformatories in the State con- tain 3,295 males and 1 1,095 females. The earnings of these institutions were S4S, 592 and the expenses $262, ,277. The care of these juvenile delinquents is much be- low the proper standard.
 The total number of paupers in the poorhouses and almshouses of the State is 17,3l6, of whom S,522 are females. Their support cost during the year S1,- 959, 1886. The number of persons re- ceiving outdoor relief is 60. 554; and the amount expended S579,9 ,957. There are 1S4 orphan asylums and homes for the friendless, and their inmates number 42, ,643. The disbursements on their &C., count were $4, ,s6S, ,s42, and the receipts &. .353. .927,

The Mutt Trial.

On Tuesday morning the court room wac crowded to suffocation with anxious spectators. The prisoner was placed in the dock at 45 minutes past a. In. At 10 o'clock the jury was announced, and after the roll call were asked the usual questions, and replied:
 "We have agreed upon a verdict"
 "What may it be ?"
 "Not guilty"
 Scarce had the hum of approval ceased in the court room until the cry was taken up by the crowd on the street below, and shouts were heard from those unable to gain an entrance sufficient to temporarily render 1t a matter of impossi- bility for the voices of the jury or judge to be heard.
 The excitement in the court room was also intense, but previous to the ap- pearance of the jury the judge had issued such strict orders ill regard to manifestations of approval or disap- proval that the reception of the welcome verdict was rendered rather tame, though the faces of those present spoke volumes.
 James Mutt was twenty-one years of age in August last. He was his fathers second child and next in age to his sister Lizzie, whom Dukes traduced, and in the protection of whose honor Captain Mutt, the father, lost his life at Dukes's hands on the 24th of December, 1882. On the morning of that day Mutt, who had been goaded to desperation by Dukes's letters to him in which he boasted of his intimacy with Miss Lizzie, visited the hotel at which the self claimed seducer was stopping at Union town to demand an explanation.
 During the altercation which followed Dukes shot Captain Mutt dead. He was tried and subsequently acquitted. The judge rebuked the jury for their verdict, and discharged the prisoner. The yer dict was received with general dissatis- faction, and the murderer was burned in efhgy. Dukes. who was a lawyer and e member of the Pennsylvania Legisla- ture, was expelled from that body.
 After the acquittal young Mutt brooded over the matter, which was aggravated by the conduct of Dukes, who, when he met him, would laugh in his face. The trouble culminated on the evening of June IS, 1888, when the two men met at the Uniontown Post Office. With the same revolver that his father carried on the morning of his death young Mutt shot and killed his fathers slayer and sisters traducer
 It was universally agreed that the shooting was justifable and the young man was the recipient of much sym pathy. Young girls presented him with flowers, men offered him sid, and law yers, among them United States Senator Voorhees,, volunteered to defend him.
 He was placed on trial in December of last year in Uniontown, but it was found impossible to obtain an impartial jury and the Court granted a change of venue to Pittsburg, where the trial which has just closed took place.

A NInann,n AnnIr.

1 have been troubled for number of years with kidney and bladder difficulty; at times have suffered great deal with the weakness caused by the Inflammation and intense pains in the back and loins. I tried many medi- cines that were recommended, but none of them seemed to reach my case until one day I related my case to one of our druggists here in Auburn. Mir. Smith was very urgent that should try Hunts Remedy, for he knew of many who had used it with wonderful success. I purchased a bottle and used it, and found a good deal of benefit, and com menced to improve rapidly, and the pains in the back were relieved. I gained strength and vitality, and after using four bottles l have been completely cured, and have recom- mended it to others, and give this statement voluntarily, believing that, from my own case, Hunts Remedy Is all that is recom- mende1, and you can use this as you choose for the benefit of the public.

Sheridan's Fox Hunt.

General Badeau, in an article in the February Century, tells this story of Sheridan: During the winter he re- the roads and the rains allowed, Grant directed him to push once more mp the Valley-this time not to return. He was to advance in the direction of Rich mond, destroying the railroads ill every direction, as we'll as all the stores that could possibly be of use to the enemy. In order to conceal his purpose, Sheri. dan resorted to one of those ingenious devices in which he was uurivaled since the days of Hannibal. He learned that the people of the neighborhood were fond of hunting, and encouraged his staff to make their acquaintance and talk of foxes and hounds. A pack of hounds was found, and day set for the chase. The hounds were brought into Winchester, the horses were shod, and all the talk of the country around was of Sheridans hunt. On the appointed day the whole neighborhood came to the meet, the General and his staff con- spicuous. The start was made and tho run was good, but the General and staff went further than the Virginians, and the army followed. They rode after the enemy, and never returned. The strat- agem had kept all news of Sheridau's in- tentions secret, as all preparations were attributed to the hunt, and he was far on his way before the vile was discovered.

soNz INSTANCES IN PoNT-How PREDICTIONS MAY
 Ton days before his Rtdeaii2 death Lincoln dreamed that the President" lay dead in the White House, killed by tie hand of an assassin WI hen his wife heard of the tragedy she ex. claimed, His dream was propheticI" The majority of dreams, however, are never full tlled-they are too fantastic, or they are solved by contrary events. People are often possessed of the idea that they shall soon die. They find themselves the subject of strange feelings. They know they are not what they once were, and as they approach certain ages they are quite sure they will not be long of earth" These impressions as rule are the result of m imagination disordered by disease, but they can be shaken off by prompt and thorough measures We are told that very many dis cases can be prevented; indeed, half the deaths arc said 10 be preventahlel Hence the importance Of always acting promptly ip every personal emergency.
 Justice William Moul, Of West Sandlake, ", N., very highly esteemed in Troy, was for years plagued by forebodings that he was doomed to au early death. He had dull and Hitting pains in various parts of the body, his complexion was bad, his appetite was variable be felt weary without known cause was constantly constipated, his tongue vas heavily coated, and frequent feyerish dis orders appeared. Then followed extreme tenderness and pain in the back, great las. sltuue' BFdNelly ueFosltS m water whicH was dark, frOshy aud odorous, al mdicnt. ing liver and kidney disorders. These dc. velonnents alarmed him, especially since physicians dld him no good About giving up in despair, he followed the counsel uf one of the Supreme Court Justices to use Dr. David kennedy's Favorito Remedy Iof Rondout, N. Y,,l as an experiment. 1t seat tered hs bad feelings, revived his appetite, restored his liver and kidneys renewed luis blood increased hi3 weight by twenty pounds and to 1t alone he gives the credit of saving his life
 Dreams and warnings and forebodiugs of early death need not always be fulfilled if proper meosIres aro promptly taken to de- feat them. Troy (M Kl fumes.
