Diamonds and Rubies Seized.

Valuable registered packages sent by mail from abroad are examined by the proper officers when they reach this country unless the person to whom they are addressed is not resident of the port of entry. In the latter case they are forwarded marked "sup- posed liable to duty" Such packages are received evry year at the Hartford postoffice and are there opened by the deputy collector of customs in the presence of witnesses. Such a package came about week ago ad- dressed to MT. Douchaine, who is at Eek harts The package was held by MT. Wooi- house and the deputy collector of customs notified. He telephoned to Collector Put nam, of Middletown, and was instructed to examine the package and if it con- tained anything dutiable seize it and wait orders. The package was opened in the presence of Postmaster Chapman and MT. Woodhouse. It contained one large diamond valued by those who saw it at not far from $500 and about adozen smaller dia- monds. There was also one magnificent emerald and several rubies. MT. Douchaine states that the jewels were ordered sent from Constantinople by express and went by post express till the package reached the seaboard where it in some way got into the regular mail It is not probable that MT. Douch- aine attempted to evade the law as he has had previous consignments in the regular way by which it seems he intended to have this package come. The matter has been referred to the Secretary of the Treasury, MT. Douchaine asking that he be allowed to pay the duty and take the goods.-Harttord Courant

Superior Court-Criminal S1de-Judge

Superior Court-Criminal Stde-Judge
 Granger.
 This court came in yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
 David Kennedy, charged with burglary at the residence of George R. Wilmot, of Meri- den, on July 1, changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced to jail for one year.
 The court excused as jurors Isaac Ander- son on account of his age and deafness and George s. Arnold because he had served in the militia for twenty years.
 Louis Holdt, a youthful Dane, pleaded guilty to burglary at Seymour April 21 and was sentenced to jail for one year. State Attorney Doolittle excused the wit nesses summoned in the case against Biga- mist Stone, alias Barnes, who on Tuesday changed his plea to guilty and was given two years in the State prison, and in the case of Edward w. Richardson, who pleaded guilty to burglary at Cheshire May 29, and was given one year in jail.
 George Shay pleaded guilty to burglarizing Sturgis Whitlock's premises at Orange, and was also given one year in the county jail
 The jury was impanelled and James Me Keever was tried for burglary at s. B. Mer- win & Sons, packing house on the night of June 6. His associate in the burglary, John Downey, turned Ssate's evidence and showed his complicity in the burglary. McKeever denied the offense and endeavored to prove an alibi. After the evidence was all in and MT. Doolittle had commenced his argument, John Doughan, who had been an interested specta- tor in the gallery, came into the court room and wished an opportunity to testify which MT. Doolittle did not refuse him. Doughan swore that McKeever was with him about the hour it was alled the burglary was committed. Doughan's story did not agree with McKeever's, howev- CT, and the discrepancies were pointed out by Mir. Doolittle to the jury in his argu- ment.
 The jury after being out forty minutes re- turned and Foreman Allen said they had failed to agree upon a verdict, and he saw little prospect of an agreement being reach ep. Judge Granger ordered the papers re- turned, and the jury were excused. State Attorney Doolittle said he had no further business for them and they were dis missed for the term. MaKeever's counsel, Lawyer Tyler, asked to have the bond re- duced to $100. Tthe State attorney said it was belittling justice to ask such thing Meaning McKeever, hd said: "He is a bad man and am going to try him again, when the weather is cooler. l have convicted him before" The attorney agreed to accept $4OO bonds, but McKeever was unable to furnish it.
 The case against John Downey was nolled and as he is half-witted lad MI. Doolittle told his widowed mother to take care of him in the future.

court Tuesday morning for the abandonment of the three months infant on the steps of the Widow Buckley's residence on West street, State Attorney Doolittle decided to nolle the cases.
 tsMy theory in reference to these poor women" said he, lis that they have been more sinned against than shining. The man who seduced the Anderson girl went away and married another woman. The mother of the child is poor and ignorant and she had no means of supporting it, and when it was left on Mrs. Buckley's steps on a warm even ing there was nothing liable to happen to it. The girl has been wronged and guess has suffered enough"

Cossacks and Russian students.

I''Russia under the Tzarsn-Stepniak.
 An accident that occurred at Moscow in December, 1880, affords apt illustration of the trivial causes from which disorders some times arise Prof Zernoff was giving 8 lec- | ture on anatomy to an attentive audience, when all at once loud and unusual noise was heard in the next room, and most of the students ran out to see what had happened. Nothing particular had happened, but the professor, annoyed by the interruption of his l lecture, made a complaint to the authorities. The next day it was stated that the complaint l had let to the expulsion of several members of the anatomy class. A punishment so severe for an offense so ven1al k1ndled great indignation. A meeting was called and l resolution passed calling upon the rector for an explanation. But instead of the rector came the chief of the Moscow police followed ! by great array of gendarmes, Cossacks, and infantry, who ordered the meeting to dis perse. The young fellows were now greatly excited and, though they would have listen ed to reasol refused obedience to the behests of brute force On this the aula was sur rounded by the soldiers, all the issues were beset, the students, to the number or 4UO, were taken prisoners, and amid a square of bayonets marched off to jail. Affairs of this sort do not always end in simple arrests. At 1OOO SOANAASAo make free use of the butt end of their mus
 kets, the Cossacks ply their whips, the faces
 of the students stream with blood, some
 are thrown wounded to the ground and there
 ensues terrible scene of armed violence and
 unavailing resistance. It happened thus at
 Kharkoff, in November, 1878, when some
 troubles arose from a mere misunderstand-
 ing between professor of the veterinary col
 lege and one of his classes, misunderstood
 ing which few words of explanation would
 have suficed to remove. It was thus at Mos
 COW and St. Petersburg during the disorders
 of 1861, 1863, and 1866, ,and in certain circum-
 stances the law sanctions even grosser out
 rages In 1878 an enactment the cruelty of
 which is impossible to exaggerate was pro
 mulgated. ''Considering," it ran, ''the ire
 of 1861, 1863, and 1866, and in certain cir
 cumstances the law sanctions even grosser
