Let every voter, as he casts his ballot. deposit with it at least one cent for this great object. No man wonld hesi- tate to contribute so small a sum to the memory of Washington.

The firemen, including the Sun company and Hook and Ladder company, ‘with its useful apparatus, were soon on hand, and speedily extinguished the flames. A por- tion of the flooring, ceiling and stairway of the second and third stories were damaged by fire. also some furniture, including bedding. The damoge amounted to perhaps five hundred dol- lars, more than half of which may be credited to the water thrown in the direction of the flames, but which, as usual, fell elsewhere, The Bricklayers’ Union of this city have fixed $4.50 as ‘a day's wages fora fird:-class workman, and $19 per thousand, all rhaterial included, as the price for laying brick. day previous to the homicide he was differently dressed from what other witnesses described. Witness had never seen him with the coat on which was exhibited in Court. Officer Leech recalled, and said that the priso- er was putung on dark pants the morning of bis arrest. Catharine Kinge testified that he had on dark Pants all toe day of the homicide; the same he put on.next morning: had hurt bis arm in the morning; witness had tied it up for him; never saw him wear the coat exhibited in court; never saw the knife before; be generally hung up hi hat and coat down siairs before he came up; had been home some time when Bell came in, Eliza Worthington testified that the prisoner said he had bad some difficulty about his dog the day of the killing: don’t know whether his arm was hurt or not; prisoner took dinner home that day, also supper: did not see his arm wrapped up. Stephen McDermet, clerk in Kidwell’s drug store, where the deceased was carried, was ex- amined as to the declarations of Maria Hender. son, as to the color of the man who struck the blow. He said some one in the crowd asked who did it, and some one else answered a light. cored or yellow man; nearly white; don’t know who asked or answered the question, Edward D. Price testified that a colored girl in the crowd said it was a white man, which ‘ated by # colored man, wh said he bad on hght elothes, and had run awa; the night was very dark. John Bell had known Becket some 15 years; Was in the neighborhood of the homicide that night, and a man ran by, pursued by a soldier and another man; did not see his face; could not swear what kind of a man it was, whether white or black. Witness thonght if it had been Becket and he had taken particular notice he would have known him, but he ram by too swiftly. ‘The question arose as to the admission of the beequent acts and conversations of the ac- ised as affirmative proof of his innocence. ‘The Court eaid this quescion was treated as if one proposition was the corrollary of the other. The acts and words of a prisoner previous to and contemporaneons with an act may be given in evidence, and any act of the prisoner subse- quently, as distinguished from his declara- tions, may be given to show his innocence. ‘The Court said the prisoner could not manu- facture evidence, and refused to permit the sub- sequent declarations of the prisoner in evi- dence; but said his conduct might be taken in evidence for what it was worth, viz: That the prisoner remained in the bailiwick and was found im his bed after he was advised that he was suspected. Anna Worthington testified that she lived at the same house with prisoner; she was awaked by his coming in the night of ‘the homicide; he slammed the door and went directly up stairs; he did not take bis coat off; don't know who the coat belongs to; don’t know whether it is Phil Lancaster's or not. To-day—Mr. Carrington opened for the de- fence, and reviewed the tesumony and argued thatthe question of identity was clearly set- ted, and s to the extent of the crime it gould not be doubted that it was a felonious homicide. Gen. Terry, for the defense, arose and opened his case, saying there were three ques- ons for the jury to decide: Ist, Was there a homicide; znd, Whether it was homicide justi- fiable, manslaughter, or murder; and 3d, Is the prisoner the guilty party: and argued each of the points in detail. At the close of his speech the Court took @ recess. The jury, after an absence o&25 minutes, re- turned a Verdict of guilty of manslaughter, and the Court discharged the jury, with his thanks for their attendance during the term. The prisoner was ealled up for sentence, and Protested that he was innocent when asked by the Court if he had anything to say in exten: tion. The Court said that the charities of the law only saved hiin from the severest penalties of the law, and sentenced him to the Albany penitentiary for 8 years, the severest penalty of the 1a) iry Court, Justice Olin.—Wilson vs. Wil- son: order confirming report of auditor.

Biot, thesuccessfal lecturer on the art of cookery : eb. 17, 1567.—A good dish is unpalatable by the use of a detestably cheap, impure and deleteri- ous flavoring extract. Great care should be eed in ee! the genuine, both in regard to taste and health. In answer to inquiries from ladies of my various classes I invariably reply that I have tried several kinds of flavoring ex- tracts during the last two years of my lectures on cookery, and certainly prefer those prepared by Joseph Burnett & Go, of Boston, over ail others.

Lyons, President, in the cliair. The President read the annual report of the President and Directors, which was accepted and ordered to be published. The report says “The aseociation was organized on the last Monday of February, 1867, as an experiment to ud and facilitate the purchase of flour and grain. The comfort and ease with which sales nd purchases bave been made, the large and increased amount of grain brought to and dis- posed in our market, showing adecided im- provement in the general trade of the town given such evidences of prosperity, that it may now be regarded as a decided succes. There bas been brought to our town and dis- pored of through the agency of this exchange, for the year ending on the 22d instant, 61,60 bushels of wheat, 545,220 bushels of corn, i 1S5 bushels of oats, 5,615 bushels of rye, making a total of 1,181,450 bushels. This must not be considered the full amount of the trade in the artieles enumerated for there are large quanti- ties brought to us by wagons from the adjacent country, which would probably swell the whole amount to ing near 130.0%) . Our flour trade is not so prospe As could be desired, owing to the fact that other cities have been extending their railroads in every direction around us. and drawing from us produce that heretofore found a market at this place, and the benefits which we pre- viously enjoyed. Our trade in grain must con- tinue to mcivsse as we offer inducements to families and others, superior to our eighbor ing markets and iterior to none. Our flour mills have a capacity of manufacturing 300,00 barrels of flour per annum, which will require A supply of nearly 1,500,000 bushels of wheat.” The following were elected as officers for the ensuing year: Evan Lyons, President: George Waters. Vice President: Directors—John B Davidson, A.H. Herr, A. H. Pickrell. Peter Berry, and Benjamin Darby.
