Mr. Ratclifte stated that the defence understood that this witness was called as to the d ing decla- rationsof the deceased. Hesupposed the evidence would be confined to the statements of the de- ceased as fo the killing. The Court stated that the declaration, whether written or oral, must be coufined to the killing and the circumstances surrounding it; rat See 3 aside from that the Court woulfl undoubtedly ex- clude, ‘The attested declaration of Ennis was bere sub- mitted to the Court by Mr. Ould, and, after read- ing it, the Court read from the law controlling the giving of dying declarations as evidence, and stated thet it was immaterial whether such deciarations were taken orally in writing.

They (ihe company) com- menced throwing stones at him, the said John Ennis, cursing him at the same time. He, (John Ennis,) making no resistance whatever, retreat- ing and getting over « fence, and got into an open lot, and was fired at by a pistol {n the hands of Hillary Hutchins. The first shot entered the abdowen, the second st iking his hip. He said that Hillary Hutchins shot three times at him. He, (Jobn Ennis,) farther states that he did not stone the house of Hillary Hutchins, and that he knows of no good reason or just cause by which he would in any degree be justified in shooting him.” ‘The witness was then cross-examined, and stated that at the time he was present the deceased had no minister of the Gospel present, and made no remark about his approaching end. TESTIMONY OF J. CARTER MAKBURY. Mr. Marbary testifled that he is a member of the bar of this District; saw Hutchins on the day ia question, in front of Justice Reaver’s office, in Georgetown ; was ou the north side of Bridge street, and saw a crowd in front of the office, and went over tosee; Hutcbins came out of the Justice's office and said, -‘1 would give tweuty dollars for @ pistol ; if I had one, he wouldn't stone anybody else’s house ;*’ this he said three or four times.

Not our own citizens, but strangers to us, who came here for purposes of pillage and bk . Such were parties who went to Georgetown on that day. The Court decided that the question to be asked was clearly not admissable at this stage of the case. It was just such a point as the Court had decided long ago, in the celebrated case of George A. Gardner. ‘The witness was then placed on the stand again, at Reaver’s ottice a good ‘ament on the that the prot and stated that he saw many persons, and recollected John W. Gross, who was then a police ofticer, and another man, named Robinson; the crowd was composed of per- sons whom witness does not know; don’t k the Crouses; Hutchins did not strike witness a being excited; he was calin; witness noticed his general appearance. Here the jury took a recess. Tue May Bati.—The Assembly Rooms last night were thronged with a bright and happy concourse of the fair and the gallant, the young and the light-hearted. The ceremonies of the evening were conducted in a style that reminded many a parent present of the May balis of the olden time, when Sige Washlugtonian was wont to anticipate with glee the annual advent of Carusi’s festival. About half past eight the grand march of the popils began, headed by two young marshals in Highland costume. After a series of mazy involutions, th: upils less skillfully Miss Ella Murray 1 night Lave bewildered ned, the Queen of May, daughter of the Hon. W_ A. Harris, of bright-eyed girl, who shone conspicuous amid the gulaxy of loveliness around her, gracefully ascended the throne and took ber seat. ‘The crown bearer, Miss Avonia Bonney, a little girl about five years old, then approsied the Queen with measured tread, and the ceremony of coronation was performed by Miss Susan Braugh- ner, the principal maid of honor. who addressed her youthful majesty as follows: » Behold, decor maid, your subjects oning A wreath of flowers most rare, Fit tribute of the early spring, To one so young and fair. “ Weculled them in youth's joyous hours, When all was bright and By, And bring them fresh from nature's bowers, To crown the (Queen of May.” od W hen the white wreath had been placed over her raven tresses, the Queen said : “ Dearer to me these simple flowers Than any tribute wealth can bring! ——— far these —e hours han e’er were known to royal king ; O’er such fair subjects am proud to n, Jn love and kindness, as your May-day (jueen ** The fancy dances were then begun, during which the throne was radiant with clusters of bright faces and yay dresses, while the Queen, whe throughout the evening w the floral dia- dew with a staid dignity, surprising in one of ber vears, formed the worthy centre of the tableau. After the conclusion of the fincy dances. the floor was thrown open to the company, and sets of the quadrilte and les Lanciers were formed with a spirit which nobody knows as well how to intuse among his guesia as Carusi. W iti detic is music, to which a thousand tiny feet kept time, the evening wore away, and the wee hours of th morning saw the beaux and belies still whirling merrily in the dance. it appears to be the universal desire that this de Ji shite festival be repeated, and we hope that r. Carusi will aceede to the public wish. Unxnarry Covrie.—This morning, Officer Gin- nity arrested a Gertnan named Joseph Kubns, and took him to the guardhouse for trial. The readers of the Star will remember a case at the last term of the Criminal Court of a German badly beating his wife, which excited great sympathy for the fe- male. This is the same woman. Kuhns was charged with being profane and disorderly, which he did not deny. ‘The Justice asked him if this woman was not bis wife? He siid “No! She vas marr’d mit me, and she haf one children, but den she haf more husband as me. She haf dree, two, tw -fife men husbandt effary dime.

However, they separated. She afterwards warried again, and then Kuhns supposing her a widow, married her about three years age, and the youngest child isthe fruit of marriage. Since then the second husband has made his ap- rance, and this has caused the dissatisfaction nhns said he wanted to take and maintain the child, but she should not come about him. She deelared her willingness to se ite from him if he would maintain the child. Justice Donn having no t to divorce the pair. that matter remains ‘nd gnome of. But in the profanity case he was fined $1.15. The very sight of the woman appeared to excite the anger of Kuhus, and those Present were of the inion some means should be taken to prevent his doing her mischief.
