Special DL'pGteh to the LateliGeneT.
CAMBRIDGE, o., Dec. 13.-The argu-
ment in the Shoots case began this morn
ing, and at the present rate will occupy
the rest Of the week. There are three
lawyers to speak for the State and three
for the defense. For the State, Capt. B.
F. Power opened this morning in very
long speech, which was not concluded
until after dinner. Frank B. Durham
followed for the defense, occupying the
rest OF the day. The jury listens with
great patience and close attention, but
the accused is again losing her composure
under the gnawing anxiety Of long-con'
tinued suspense. The court room was,
as usual, crowded all day.

His eyes were fixed; they resembled glass painted as eyes, the colors faded. He had a broad belt round his waist, and the hilt of Q kind of cutlass peeped from under his cloak; otherwise he was unarmed. thought he breathed, and seemed to see movement in his breast, and I took him by the shoulder, but in the hurry of my feelings exerted more strength than I was sensible of pushed him with the violence of sudden trepidation; my hand slipped off his shoulder, and he fell on his side, exactly as statue would, preserving his posture as though, like Q statue, he had been chiseled out of marble or stone.
 I started back frightened by his fall, ir which my fears found a sort of life; but it was soon clear to me his rigidity was that of a man frozen to death. His very hair and beard stood stiff, as before, as though they were some exquisite counterfeit in ebony. Perfectly satisfied that he was dead, stepped round to the other side of him and set him up as had found him. He was as heavy as if he had been alive, and when I put his back to the rock his posture was exactly as it had been-that of one deeply meditating.
 Who had this man been in 1ifea How had he fallen into this passa How long had he been dead there, seated as saw him?
 These were speculations not to be resolved by conjecture. On looking at therock against which he leaned, and observing its curvature, it seemed to me that it had formed part of .

cave, or of some large deep hole of ice; and this, was sure, must have been the case-for it is certain that, had this body remained long unsheltered, it must have been hidden by the snow.
 concluded then that the unhappy man had been cast away upon this ice while it was under bleaker heights than these paral- lels, and that he had crawled into a hollow and perished in that melanchohc sitting post ure
 Thinking might find something on his person to acquaint me with his story, or that would furnish me with some idea of the date of his being cast away, pulled his cloak aside and searched his pockets. His legs were thickly cased in two or three pairs of brooches the outer pair being of dark green cloth He also wore handsome red waistcoat, laced, and stout coat of a kind of frieze- IF his coat pocket found @ silver tobacco box. a small glass flask fitted with silver band and half full of an amber colored liquor, hard froze; and in his waistcoat pocket gold watch, shaped like an apple, the back curiously chased and inlaid with jewels o. several kinds, forming small letter M The hands pointed to twenty minutes after three. A key of a strange shape and 8 number of seals, trinkets, and the like were attached to the watch.
 These things, tcg gether with knife, a key. a thick plain silver ring, and some Spanish pieces in gold and silver were what found on this man. There was nothing to tell me who he was nor how long he had been on the island.
 The searching him was the most disagree able job ever undertook in my life. His iron-ike rigidity made him seem to resist me, and the swaying of his back against the rock to the motions of my hand was so full of life that twice quilted him, frightened by it. On touching his naked hand by acci- dent, I discovered that the flesh of it moved upon the bones as you pull glove off and on. I had had enough of him, and walked away feeling sick.
 I pushed onward, stepping warily and probing cautiously, at every step, and earn estly peering about me, for after such sight as that dead man I was never to know what new wonder might stumble upon. About @ quarter of mile on my left-that is, on my left while kept my face to the slope there was the appearance of a ravine not dis cernible from where the boat lay. When was within twenty feet of the summit of the cliff, the acclivity continuing gentle to the very brow, but much broken, as have said, noticed this hollow, and more particularly small collection of ice forms, not nearly so large as the other groups of this kind, but most dainty and lovely, nevertheless. They showed as the heads of trees might to my ascent and when had got little higher observed that they were formed upon the hither side of the hollow, as though the con vulsion which had wrought that chasm had tossed up those exquisite caprices of ice. However, I was too eager to view the pros pect from the top. of the cliff to suffer my admiration to detain me; in few minutes I had gained the brow, and, clambering on to a mass of rock, I sent my gaze around.
