One afti- davit outlined was by Prof. Greene, to the effect instrument for the transmission of sound by Smithsonian institution one of Reese's Inven- tions for transmitting sounds, THE PITH AND POINT OF THE VARIOUS AFFI- DAVITS were in substance that Reese, V; and Pickering antedated Bell in the disco’ tricity. In connection with a statement of his fraud and collusion; that there was collusion in the Patent office with Bell, which enabled him to learn the secrets of other and rival inventors, and that the Bell patents were rushed through in an untair, improper and illegal mann An affidavit of Prof. Pickering, of Harvard college, was read, stating that in 1869 he in- vented an apparatus for transmitting sound, | Severe Strietures and that he showed it in public lectures. An affidavit was aiso read from Prot.

The New York World to-day says: A deserted wife set a trap for her bigamous husband, Fred- erick Osthoff, into which he unsuspictously fell lustevening. The trap was sprung under the big clock in front of Johnson’s Jewelry store, at the Bowery and Broome street. He did not surrender easily, however. and after a lively chase was only ‘brought tobay when a bullet was sent after him, ‘Two years ago Osthoff, aged 35 years, a native en, met Miss Emma Groetz, who lived with her brother at No. 57 Norfolk street, at Kronheim’s saloon, in AND DOES 80, Ac- POSSESS and was employed Stanton street.

One mystery of the second Bull Run that Mctlellan ts said to have cleared up in his description of the battle is that where Fitz John Porter is said to have had 30,000 troops which he failed to send into actio: McClellan shows that Porter had only 15,006 men, and that 3,000 of them were, owing to Secrétary Stanton’s orders, at Frederick and virtually out of Porter's hand, while the rest were under fire continuous! ‘Mr. Prime said last night that Gen, McClel- lan’s affairs were In the same condition as when he died. Nothing had been done to promote publication because there were other business affairs to be settled first. He would say, how- ever, that all the dead general's manuscripts had been caretully packed in trunks In the same systematic order in which they had been left, tozether with the books of reference and working material which McClellan had used. ‘There were several of these trunks packed full, and they had been removed from the country house at Orange to the city house on Washing- ton square. There had been a large number of offers received to publish the works, but under the circumstances nothing whatever had been done in this direction. Neither Gen, Porter nor Mr, Prime could give an approximate idea of the number of volumes the dead geueral’s meinoirs will mate, oo A Mob of College Students.
