THE Gu1LFoRD ASSAULT CASE.

The Jury After an Hours DeIiberatioa Do Not Agree and KopfMay Go Free. All day yesterday Judge Torrance was en- gagged in hearing the case of the State vs. Kopf. He is charged with assault and high I way robbery upon Postmaster Dudley of
 North Guilford. MT. Dudley testified how | in going from the store to his house in the evening with dark lantern somebody tap ped him on the shoulder and at the same time hit him on the back of the head with 8 club. He saw the peculiar shoes worn by the person. He carried 8 pocketbook with quite sum of money and when he regained consciousness his money was gone. His wife told how she heard moans and went out from the house and found her husband lying in- sensible on the ground. At the same time somebody jumped up little way of and ran away. She could not tell whether it was Kopf or not. The doctor who was called to attend MT. Dudley also testified to the lat ter's injuries. MT. Chittenden, a North Guilford farmer, told how he met some one running away from where Mir. Dudley lay, and at about the time he was found. Kopf took the stand at noon. He denied having how he had spent the evening in question.
 Shortly after 9 o'clock Lawyer Kellogg, who
 assisted State Attorney Doolittls in the
 case, began his argument for the State. He
 pointed out the facts to the jury and then
 Attorney Blydenburgh began his argument
 the weak points on the States side and made
 them look strong for the accused. Shortly
 after o'clock State Attorney Doolittle made
 his argument for the State. It was short but
 right to the point, and he certainly made the
 case look bad for the accused At about
 quarter to four o'clock Judge Torrance made
 one of the most favorable charges for the ac
 cused that has been made for some time in
 this court. At five minutes past four o'clock
 the jury went out, and at five o'clock the
 jury reported that they could not agree, and
 they were discharged and the court adjourn
 ed until 10 o'clock this morning when Peter
 Coffee, the alleged murderer, will be put to
 plea.

In Addition to the S1OO.OOO Previ-
 Ous1y Given to Yale For the New
 Library BuildIng-HOn. s. B. Chit
 tenden's LiberalIty.
 Hon. Simeon B. Chittenden, of Brooklyn, has very generously added a gift of twenty five thousand dollars to the sum of one hun dred thousand dollars which was offered by him year ago for the new library building for Yale university. President Dwight, from whom the above is lessned, said last evening that the work ot erecting the new library would begin as early in the spring as prac- ticable.
 With work begun thus early the new building may be completed in time for occu- patton before Yale commencement, 1888. The architects are J. Cleveland Cady 6 Co.,, of New York city. The plans are in the hands of bidders for the contracts. The building will stand on High street, between the library and the Art school, and will be 80 built that it can be easily enlarged. It will be capable of holding several hundred theu- sand volumes, as well as offices for several of the college officers. The front part of the building, facing the campus, is to be occu- pied by the librarian, secretary, etc., and the large university collection of coins will have @ room reserved for them. This collection, which has here tofore been kept in the safes in the main H- brary, has been accommodating during the past years very rapidly and will be great addition to the means of studying archRol- ogy. The main building is to be no feet on High street and 100 feet deep. It will be three stories high. An extension 46 feet square and one story high will be added on the Art school side. Here will be deposited all the magazines now in the main building ana probably some from the reading room in the cabinet building. There will be accom- modations for large number of readers, and the glass roof will make the building much lighter than either the library or reading room. The entire second and third stories are to be reserved for books, as also the greater part of the lower floor. The entrance will be from both High street and the cam pus side, the campus entrance being the main one. There will also be 8 roomy porch with a vestibule somewhat like the Dwight Hall entrance. Beyond She vestibule will be ac- commodations for hats, umbrellas, etc. Over the porch there will be Norman arch with windows of similar design. The copings and frieZes will be handsomely carved and give the building an imposing appearance. A flight of broad steps of brown stone will lead up to the porch. The building will be freproof and damp proof, which will prevent damp ness from extending from the foundations to the superstructure. The materials of the building will be of dark Longmeadow stone. with trimmings of lighter shade of the same material. The stone is to be rough hewn, as in Dwight Hall and Durfee. The interior will be of polished woodwork throughout. For the present there will be 8 connected passageway leading from the old library to the new one. This will make it possible to use the two buildings as one. It will be a temporary arrangement and can be taken down at time.

Concert at she Methodist Church Last
 Night-The New o. E. s. Chapter.
 Despite the supremacy of Jack Frost last night and the apparent determination to send the mercury below zero, good sized audience assembled at the Methodist church last evening, the occasion being 8 concert and readings. The entertainment was of a varied and very pleasing character and gave great satisfaction. The duo by Mrs. Mans field and Miss Woedmansee from Il Trova- tore was enthusiastically applauded, as it well deserved to be. It was sung by request, these ladies having sung it so successfully on a recent occasion in the place. Mrs Mans field sang solo, "Yes, Sir, " and Miss Wood rnansee solo, "Tit for Tat, both very pop ular selections, with much success. Post master Isbell, better known throughout the State as fParson Isbell, ," gave 8 number of his always popular and successful recitations, among which were:

s.Ik marraI,, in Norwich.

The Norwich Bulletin says of Donald G. Mitchell, preparatory to giving a report of his lecture before the Norwich Free academy Tuesday evening:
 There was something pre- -emi oentIy ft and proper in the warmth and energy of the greeting accorded Donald G. Mitchell last evening" when he made his appearance upon the rostrum of the Slater Memo rial hall, in company with number of the trustees and faculty of the Free academy. Perhaps the sem timent of the audience who 50 ardently received him was best voiced by Dr. Keep in the words of in formal introduction by which the lecture upon Chaucer was prefaced; an intimation that the dis tinguished author needed no introduction to the people of Norwich, while many, especially among the younger generation might rejoice In being pre- senfed to Donald G. Mitchell. In addition, Dr. Keep pleasantly expressed the hope that the we'll Lap- poInted building so soon to echo to the words of the lecturer, and which overooks the yard of his fath- arsa home, might prove potent attraction in derfng Mr. Mtchell's visits to his birthplace less infrequent during the future than they have been .I---r ST.n frsar,aa fafA a0f

 Stock-Grade Crossing Matters-Other
 Notes of Interest.
 The fact has lately made itself apparent to a number of oyster dealers that they were
 has developed into certainty ,sand good
 many local dealers are at present at loss to
 find enough oysters to meet the steady and
 rather brisk demand. Several years ago it
 was the custom to charter schooners and send
 them to Virginia after stock, and as many as
 six or eight loads were received every year. But one load was received last year and this enough of Sound oysters to meet all de- mands. For some reason the yield has not been so large as was anticipated. A good many of the oysters taken from the beds off Stratford and Bridgeport are not in prime condition, many of them being of green color. The case is the same with oysters taken from the river. Years ego Quinnipiac river oysters were about as good as any in the market, but those few now taken are for the most part green and have 8 sort of cops per taste. This is attributed to copperas sub stance in the river betton, although the cause of it is not definitely known.
 The price of oysters has gone up about 15 cents per gallon and there is prospect that this may be advanced. The largest dealers, to be sure, have enough stock to carry them through, and 1t is the smaller dealers who feel the shortage in the crop most. Captain Charles Seeley has gone to Virginia with 8 New York vessel chartered by local parties and expects to arrive with load in few days.
