Joroner Greentree held an inquest, at whi the eviderce showed that three colored boys, whore names were unknown, were firing & pistol ashort time previously at a house only tnree or four distant trom the residence of de- ceased, and it is supposed that her death was caused by a ehot fired by one of these parties, The verdict of the jury was that «death was caused by a pistol shot fired by colored parties 8 few doors above, to the jury unknown” The deceased leaves 2 husband and two children, Another sbooting affair, resulting in the death of @ young Woman mamed Ruch Lank- ford, occurred during the same afternoon.om the Liberty road, sbont five miles from the chy.

It is estimgtea that this road can be made for $15,(40. Tt will accommodate all the couniry from Mt. Zion Charch to Cool Spring, and thence to Middleburg, agq thence to Philo- mont.

Tux CorwzcticutT Divorce Law.—A com- mittee of the Connectient legislature bas re- ported a bill amending the law regulating the Matter of diyorce in that State. The first sec- tion provides that no divorce shall be erinted ‘on ez parte application, ard the good character of the applicant and the required ‘residence in the State ehall be proved by two credible wit- nesses. Two—The hearings in all sach cases sball be in open conrt, in the regular court- room, whether then before the conrt or a com- mittee. Three—No divorce shall be granted on the ground of “such misconduct as perm: nently defeats the happiness of the petit oner, ete, until a year baselapsad atter the com- mencement of the suit. Four—No decree of divorce shall have effect till six months after its passage, but the court can use its discretion about giving the petitioner alimony and the custody of minor childrensooner. Five—Dur- ing the six months the parties «have all the Tights and privileges and liabilities of single persone, except the right to marry;” but after that time either can marry. Six—A decree cannot be granted if the applicant has been re- fused within two years, unless for a new cause Srising since that time. Seven—Tnhe bill does not affect pending suits. wi THE WORKING PxoPLE.—In eral new co-operative societi formed, among them a co-op tive building society, and a tailors’ shop. The cigar makers ot New York are aleo discussing the co-oper- ative movement. but some of them fear that if they opem @ shop the denlers may not enly combine against them but employ boys and youpg women. and thus throw men ont of employment. With regard to the importation of iron-workers from abroad to take the place of the strikers imthe Pittsburg iron works, it is reported by a Pittsburg newspaper that the old laborers allege that the new ones know absolutely nothing about the American pro- cess of working tron, and for them to become “skilled workme: it will be necessary that they ‘‘learn the trade.” The experimentabout to be tried will, however, develop the truth of this. A large meeting of workingmen was held in Pittsburg on Saturday last to protest against the employment of those foreign-born labore: d- advocating the formation of a national labor party in this country. THE Crore aT THE SovTH.—A gentleman ot this city, who has just made an extended tour in the Southern States, epeaks in the most en- couraging terms of the prospect Of the crops in that section of the country.

Tne room was:crowded, as usual, a isrge number of those present beng Indies ‘The jurors and prisoner were brought iu at 1) O'cloukt, and the jary having been, called— Carrington said every exertion bad been wade to secure the autendance of Mr. Duel, by whom they expecied to prove the letier offered yesterday, but he could not be found. Tney fhe counsel for defence would ailow the pros- ecutiou to put the witness on the stand when be came ip. Mr. Bradley said they certainly wonla not agree to that. Mr. Pierrepoint thought it was a matter to Test with the discretion of tne Court. Judge Fishér said ne did not think such was the practice. It should bean agreement be- tween counsel. Mr. Carrington said the proseeution closed the case with the ‘understanding that they ‘would make appiivation*to have Duet Placed on the stand when he shonid come in. Judge Fisher.--Yon close your case, then? Mr. Carrington.—Y es, sir, with that under- standing. Mr. Bradley said the Government now hav- ing closed their case, the defense again desired ‘onsye Susan Jackson, Cleaver, and Lee re- called. Mr.'Pierrepoint said it had been rnled by the Court that the prosecution was not com- pelled to recall Lee. As to Susan Jackson, it bad been agreed that she should be recalled. After some discussion, in which the aefense contended that the prosecution had agreed that the witnesses shonid be recalled, and the prosecution denied that they had made such Bgreement, Judge Pierrepoint said they would recall Suean Jackson, and Mr. Carrington said he had agreed to recall Rhodes, and wonld do so. Mr. Bradley @mid the prosecution had failed to produce any evidence connecting Jacob Thompson with the conspiracy. He, there. tore, asked that all evidence relating tohim be stricken out. Mr. Pterrepeint said they had proved that Jacob Thompson bad the money. and that Surratt lett Richmond, before the assassina- tyon. with $100,000. That certainly connected ‘Tbompeon with it. Judge Fisher said the counsel for the de- tense would go on with their case, and the whole matter would be left open for the consideration of the Court after the whole evi- dence should be in. 1. Bradley said he understood the Court to rule that all that passed between Dr. McMil- lan and Surratt relating to the conspiracy waa evidence. He did not see what the shooting of Union soldiers and escaped prisoners had to do with the censpiracy. Mr. Pierrepoint said he would connect all these things betore the case was ended. Judge Fisher thought there would be no difieuity about going on with the case. The judgment of the Qonrt as to what matter should be etricken out of the testimony was postponed wntil a farther stage in the case. Mr. Jos. H. Bradley, jr., then opened the cage on the part of the defense. He said they had at last arrived at that stage of the case where the defense would not onl¥ be able to show the prisoners innocence, but they would vindicate the pure fame of his departed mether. You, gentlemen of the jury, are not only acceptable to the defense, but acceptable to the learned gentlemen who represent ‘he Government. The learned gentlemen on the other side have succeeded in satisfying the mind of his honor that the jurors drawn. who were as honest as yourselves, were illegally draw.i,hence we are ‘compelled to call upon ycu totry thiscase. I see before me men who represent the material weulth and honesty of this District: a jury who cannot receive the taint of religious or other bias: because there are men among you whorepresen: all opinions. We, as counsel for the accused, have become convinced of the entire innocence of the accused. Whena man js broughtin this court of justice, it 1s with all the presumption of innocence around him. The prisoner has a Tight toa fair, full and free trial by a jury of his countrymen; and he appeals to you’ not as @ crimmal. not asa felon, but as a citizen, to do him justice, us you wonld have justice done to you.” Tre learned gentleman for the Gov- ernment, before one of the eighty witnesses was placed om the stand arraigned the prisoner before you, and held him up to public abhorence as a spectacle to be gazed at as a perfect demon spring from hell itself. He Tepresented him to you as acoward who put other people's hands to do the work while he secured bis own ignominous escape. He told you he wonld trace him from station to station, from place to place, as the man who bonght the disguise he wonld follow bim to Canada, thence across the ocean to England, France and Italy, and into the Papal eervice. Has the learned gentleman kept his pledge! Cer- tainly not. Heinous as this offense is in the sight of God, itis no mere than when the life of the humblest man is taken, for the life of the humblest man is as dear to him as tha: of the most lofty. lt was well known that on the morning after the assassination men’s hearts stood still, people spraug to their feet to seek ont the offenders and have them brought to condign punishment. There was no doubt that John Wilkes Booth was one of the conspirators. There was no donbt that Payne was one of them. As to Herold and Atzerodt, there might be some doubt. As to Mrs. Surratt, it would be shown that agrave error had been made in her case. As to the prisoner at the bar, they took issue ‘with the gentlemen on the other side in ais court, and would plainly show his innocence. The prigoner at the bar, now 23 years of age, Jett bis college in 1863. or early in ‘1861, leaving behind him such a reputation as any young man might envy; his father died and ke wis thrown in the position of protector fer his mother and sister, for bis brother Isaac was im Mexico.

He had attained & reputation upon the stage second to none in this country. They rely principally upon the testimony of Lewis J. Weichman and Jobn M. Lioyd, and as we propose to contra- dict them. I will direct your attention to some points on which we will contradict Jobn M.

The Government knew that fact, but ‘would not divulge it After we have satisfied yon of all these things. we skall confidently expect a verdict of “not guilty.” In conclusion, allow me to say that we will bring testimony showing the contents of the articles ef agreement signed by the conspirators, in which they pledged Ubemeel ves to commit the assassination.

About one o’clockon Saturday night two bur- glare entered the house of Mr. D. W. Whiting, on Main street, Melrose. Mr. Whiting wasin New York, and the house was occupied by his wife and children. One of the latter, a son, heard the noise, and immediately got up and went Into his mother’s room fora licht, He informed his mother that somebody had broken into the house, and found that she had heard the burglars, butsupposed that he (the son) was up. She then started to go to her daughter's room to get a light, and in sodoing haa to pass the head of the flight of back stairs, the son in the meantime going down the front stairs When Mrs. Whiting had arrived at the head of the back stairs and was abont to passalong to her daughter’s room, something strnek her, and she was thrown down the whole flight of staire, and was subsequently picked up wounded and bieeding, and in an insensible condition. As the burglars did not pass throngh on the front stairs, it is supposed that they must have gone down the back staira, stepping over the yrounded Iady, and jamped out of the back window. Mrs. Whiting was immediately cared for. It was ascertained that her bead was badly injured: that one ot her ribs had beed fractured, and that she was injured internally. Her wounds are serious, and i: 1s feared she cannot recover.
