CON DEMNEDMAN.  Although Parton, who was convicted of murdering the gentleman who was found dead in a cab in Manchester, pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder at the Liverpool Assizes, it is alleged that he had previously confessed to having administered the drug which killed his victim. Whilst he was in custody at the Manchester Town Hall, a Manchester gentleman, who knew Parton's father, called to sea him, and they had some conversation in the cell. It has been reported to the police that the prisoner then said he knew Mr. Fletcher, who used to go to a Manchester hotel, where he (Parton) was at one time engaged as a messenger. He saw him on the 26th February, and they had some conversation which resulted in their going to the Three Arrows public-house, where he drugged him. "I gave him," Parton is reported to have said, "more than I intended, and when we came out of the Three Arrows I saw he was a 'goner,' so I put him in the cab, and got away as soon as I could." The gentleman to whom this statement is said to have been made, did not inform the police. They, however, heard of the conversation just before the trial, and efforts were made to find the gentleman, but he could not be found.  Thursday's storm did considerable damage in Westmoreland. A train on the Eden Valley Railway was blocked by snow, and number of telegraph posts were blown across the line.  - The D4ity News Calcutta correspondent tele graphs on Friday :--The Chinese Amban is returning to Guatong to re-open the negociations which were suspended some weeks ago, On Sunday last a large audience highly appreMated the rendering by the Pellstreet Chapel Choir, assistea by several local instrumentalists, under the leader_ __  ship of Mr W.
