The affidavit filed by Mr. Wells is made by him and sets forth “that Isaac Cutids, the foreman of the pretended jury before wnom the said Green was pretended to be tried, was heretofore, by the judgment of the Court of Oyer Terminer and General Jail Delivery in and for the County of Montgomery ard Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the said court then and there having jurisdiction thereof, tried and convicted of f by the judgment of said court da to be imprisoned in solitary con! hard labor, for the space of 1 which judgment was never reversed, an- nulled, or set aside.” Accompanying the affidavit are certified coy les of papers filed in the War department, from the records of the late Provost Marshal for the District of Columbia, showing that Chiids wasdrafted in 1562; notified August llth. and ordered to report September 2st, ie on the 18th was exempted on account of felony. . Appended is a copy of the proceedings of the court of Montgomery county, including the indictment Kray ome James Maloy and Isaac Childs with having on the Sth of | February, 1547, set fire to the barn of Susan- ba Jacobs. These papers also show that they were convicted and recommended? to mercy in February 2d, 1$!8, and on the following day were sentenced to pay each a fine of one dollar to the county, costs of prosecution, and to undergo an imprisonment in solitary confinement, at hard labor, for the space of Ubree years. Mr. Childs Bas been a resident of this city for about nineteen years, during which time be has amassed some property, mostly in the business of brick-making, and for about ten years has been a leading member of the Hast Washington Methodist Protestant church, and bas heretofore been regarded as a thor- oughly upright and conscientious man. Mr. Childs mits that he was convicted, and plead that he was by such reason exempted trom service after having been drarted. He, however, states that for his offense he w: pardoned by Governor Johnston. of Pennsyl- vania, On March 2ith, 1850, and that the par- don, after reciting the conviction of arson, recites that the executive clemency is inter- on the representations of a very large bumber of respectable citizens of Mont- gomery county that he was a mere boy at the time of the commission of the offense, Which was his first. and upon the statement of the warden that he could be released wi'h great propriety, and that the pardon was granted unconditionally.

Last Friday night a man, whose name is not known, threw a small into the river from the railroad bridge. Instead of passing over the falls, as was bg cope the dog reached a large piece of ice close to the brink. He was seen there Saturday, Sun- day and Monday, but no one ventured to rescue him. An attempt was made to in- duce bim to jump into river by throwing stones athim, but it failed. The moaning of the dog during the nignt was painful to listen to. About noon on Leagan two small boys passed over the bridge, and, seeing the dog, determined to rescue him. Neither one of them would go alone, but each challenged the other to gowith him. They started, walked through the cold water to where single misstep would have sent them to their death below the ost up the log, and regained the bridge in safety, to receive the hearty compliments of those wi witnessed their daring adventure. The dog, when rescued, had been on the ice Just above the brink of the falls for four days, and was 80 weak that he could not stand up. It would afford a great deal of satisfaction to many that witneesed the dog’s misery to see the man who threw him into the river ly punished.—j[ Roches. ter (N. ¥.)

A team was loading and Brown | Was in the ore-house, where he was working | with a pick at pulling the ore down toward the chute through which it passed into the wagon. There was a large bank of ore above and arovnd him. This suddenly caved upon him, covering him entirely up. He was so suddenly overwhelmed that he had no time to make an outery. The teamster knew no- thing of what had happened above, but he resently observed a boot projecting from ; the mouth of thechnie. At once Cory hending the nature of the accident that had occurred, the teamster hoisted the gate of the | chute to full height, when forth came a rush | of ore and with it the almfost inanimate body of young Brown. He was almost at bis last gasp when he was thus tumbied out into the open air. Had the teamster gone up intothe ore house and attempted to rescue the young man by digging he would not have succeed- ed in getting him out in haif an hour, and the man could not have lived half a minute buried as he was in the ore. Young Brown Was very severely cut and bruised, but his injuries are not of a dangerous nature.” A WRITER in the Nation criticises, with See, the system of drawing which bas been introduced into the Massachusetts schools. It 1s based on the South Kensing- ton system, which originated in the mistaken idea that, in the interest of the material ends of industry and commerce, a scheme of art instruction can be devised which, without thorough and distinctively artistic training, mny permanently raise the standard of ar- listic culture and produce a great body of designers.

This season of social ‘festivity recatis to | the memory of many of our older readers a | domestic “institation” which has fallen into | isfavor in modern times. We refer to pies. Of late years it has become fashionable to sneer at this once popular article of food. In the pomp and circurstavee of what is called “a classic cuisine,” there is no place for the bomely pie of fruit, mince, or pumpkin, whieh has graced alike the boards of the Knickerbockers and the Pilgrims. It is true, too, that ignorant persons have, in the pre- paration of pies, given cause for the a eo mas which doctors have pronounced on all | kinds of pastry. As statuary may be de- based by worthiess casts,or dishonored by | vicious morels,so pies may be, and have been, discredited by dishonest departures from a good old rule. The pie, such as our a, and mothers Koew it, bas failen upon evil da; This is unjust. The pie of commerce is chiefly responsible for the mischief. Tne pie which comes out of bakers’ carts, or is ex- posed in the windows of a French pastry cook, has no relation whatever to the home- | made article. It is vain for designing people, who admit the baseness with which they ap- peal to an old prejudice, to advertise their abominable preparations as “Mrs. Bakewell s home made pies.” The dish honestly cailed by that name is not hawked about thestreets. | it belongs to the home, and cav no more be transferred from thence than the comfort of the fireside, the laughter of the children, and all the rest of that nameless charm which we call domesticity. The pie of New Yorkand | w England, where it still lingers in a few favored homes, is noarishing an¢ delicate as to its irtertor, and crisp, but fe ky and melt- | ing. as to its rust. Frencn cooms have vainly triel to that sot flakiness, of which speak xs Charles Lamb TORSt p ‘crackling?

The delusive pies of the con- fectioner’s art should be given over to (e- struction. They advertise themselves where- ever they go. They need deceiye nobody. Like the pies of the baker, and like Mark Twain's hash, tney are “myster But the honest fruit-pies of summer and fall, and the minee and pumpkin of winter, are Sacre! to the fami The scret of pons them healthful and alluring may be partially lost; tut againttsuch pies there is no law—2y- gienic or otherwise. There is something national in the prev: ing taste for pies. Wherever the passion may have originated, it has firmly rooted it- self in our own soil. The smailest curbstone vender of eatables must have pies, or he has no customers. A well-regulated eating- house can no more exist an hour without pies than a well regulated theater can be without an ipjanction; and the establish- ment of a pie- ler in a corner of Mr. Mul- lett’s granite pile in this city was lately made a matter of national coneern. It is b: no means certain that the armies of the union did not conquer on the very indifferent pies to whieh they were notoriously a/ieted. Certainly they carried the pie of the north to regions where it was before unknown. When the Army of the Potomac pursued Stonewall! JackSon’s men through Maryland, the spared the rebel sympathizers wao had re- fused to imitate the conduct of Barbara Freit- chie, bat they devoured all the pies in the land, One of Livcoln’s favorite stories was of the Union toldier, who, borne to the rear,with both legs shot off, asked a pie-vender, whodrove her trade close to the edge of battle, “Say, old lady, are those pies sewed or pegged.” The American tar, returning from a long voyage, seeks his pie before he looks for any other eatable thing. Even in Pelee y ble and frugal days of the New Eng: jand Puritans, it was thought necessary for the fathers to preach against mince pies and Christmas, hecause they savored of Papistry. The New Englanders have survived that early prejudice, and the whole nation re- joices in freedom to eat pie after the dictates of itsown conscience. Itisa pity that this natural. and we may say national, desire for a dish that might be harmless and useful sbould be so imperfectly met. It cannot be possible that the domestic pie of fore- fathers (and foremothers) has gone with the fireplace and filial respect. This is the age of restorations aud revivals. Peraaps some apostle of good living will bring bac the pie of other days, One of our own poet Joel Barlow, himself honored by two co: nents, celebrated the praises of hasty pu ding. Some other patriotic bard may rise to fing the revival of the home-made pie.— SUDDEN DEATH IN CHURCH.— This morn- ing about 7 o'clock Mr. Thomas Leonard was taken suddenly ill in the sacristy of St. Pe- Ler’s cathedral, while preparing toserve mass, Mr. Baggett, who was in the room at the time, set bim ina chair and started out to pro- cure medical assistance.
