The reason of postponement was a ripplo upon the surface of the Connecticut River, whtch, tn the eyes of the Harvard crew, was magnified iato a ter- rible rolling of billows, and they therefore retused torow.

THE BUCKMCUL ORIMZ, Clone of tho Testimony—Arguments of Coume eel on Both Sides—Justice Barnard’s Charge to the Jury—Tho Latter Locked Up for the Night. After an exhaustive trial, which has occupied nine days, the caso of Isaac V. W. Buckhout, the Sleepy Hollow murderer, was, for the third time, given te the jury yesterday in the Vourt of Oyor and Term ner, at White Plains, Westchester county. Althoug® it was not generally expected that the summing ap by counsel on both sides would take place so soom, tho largely increased number of spectators whlo& thronged the court room in the morning demonstra ted the interest with which the arguments of counses. were looked forward to, The desire to witness the closiag scenes in this somewhat memorable case was even more palpably evinced during the afternoon session, when every available spot in the court room was occupied by am. unusually respectable assemblage, nearly half those present being of the gentler sex, many of whom appeared gratified to obtain standing room. ‘Tho argument in bebalf of the prisoner was made by Francts Larkin, who, in an earnest appeal, whieh. lasted over three hours, labored arduously to cdm vince the jury that his client had brooded over the groundless suspicion of infldelity on the part of kis wife until to the German REASON FORSOOK HIM, and his senseless madness resulted in the killing o& two of his best friends. Counsel concluded hy assuring the jury that, if acquitted of the chi buckhout woutd at once be placed im the St Asylum for Lunatics, where he would be poweriess to render any further harm to society. Hionry L, Clinton addressed the jury on the pars of the prosecution, and in one of hia best forenaie efforts sifted the evidence with such masterly ability that link by link tue theory of insanity, as sought te be established by the deience, was logically aw from around the prisoner, leaving him dgurat naked in all the enormity of bis carefully plaw and terribly executed crime. Counsel dwelt at some. length on the circumstance that it was the evident intention of Bucknout to slay all three of his Vice pane when, in that caso, no Longae could ever have THE STORY OF THE AWFUL TRAGEDY. He said the whole evidence in the case provee conclusively and overwhelmingiy, beyond roe sonable doubt, that the prisoner, being of sot mind and memory on the Ist day of January, bdo | in cold biood, deliberately, wantonly and mance aforetnonens, assassinated Alfrea Rel i that law, jusiice, humanity and tne interests spolety demanded his prompt conviction. ‘The ade jreases of counsel were listened to witn the moss Fapt atten In a lengthy, lucia and comprehensive charge te the jury, Justice Barnard explatned the daa which shat wero to be governed in thelr liberations upon all the evidence adduced. Having pointedly alluded to tne fact that NO SYMPTOMS OF INSANITY on the part of the prisoner had manifested setves uutil altor ae homicide, th they must find @ verdict of murder in the degree; and if not, thelr verdict should be one not guilty. If the prisoner was insane whe! fired the gun and sane now he was fully enti @n acquittal; and if they had @ reasonable d his sanity when he committed the crime it was duty to acquit him.
