HEI.IA A CO., H, T, HELMBOLD’3 CONCENTRATED Fluid Extract Buchu. rr h e GREAT DIURETIC. The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the fact of being advertised, may not be classed as Pa tent Medicines. IJL'CHU, in one form or other, has been presented by every educated Physician for more than TWO HUNDRED YEARS. II. T. irKLMBOLDnclaims a superior mode of extracting its virtues. The experiments were made while engaged in the DRUG business in the city of Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the alarming increase of diseases of the Bladder, Kid neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existi g in both sexes. These diseases were justly attracting as much attention as diseases of the Liver, or any other vital organs of the body. Upon the sound and healthy condition of these important organs, the healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys tem and Liver, and consequently the happiness of the entire human family, depends. That Buchu should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre pare it so that it would retain its strength and active principle, was liis aim. It must not be made, as housekeepers make tea, by boiling. It is a delicate Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed by such a process. It must be prepared in V ACUO, and from the Long-leaf, fresh and carefully se lected. Tin: SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGED, I now ship even to the point (CAPE OF GOOD HOPE), where the leaves are gathered, large quantities of MV FLUID EXTRACT. IN FACT, THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE-EMI NENT, AND IS KNOWN IN ALL PARTS OF THE WOULD. The flr^Rwd most important object was to offer to the afflicted a remedy that was perfectly safe, and could be taken by adults and children. Igno rant persons, who pay no attention to dose, direc. tlon, or advice, might reason, “That if a teaspoon lul, taken occasionally, did good, two would do l better, and perhaps a bottle would cure in a day.” Many have broken down their health by dissipa I lion,and on his principle; but they had been years I in doing ho. I What 1 would have understood is, that no injury can arise from its use. It is as safe as uny article of food; but patients mud not expect any medicine to rebuild a wrecked «>r shattered constitution in a few days. This truth is «o self-evident that it would seem j unnecessary to repeat it, were it not/or the fact that thousands of persons who are intelligent in all other matters, seem to think unreasonably, that a cura live agent must exhibit its pec i lie effects immedi ately, when the fact is, that time is olten an impor tant element in the progress of a safe and thorough cure, even when the medicine is working the best results. These same persons would expend HUN DREDS, yes, THOUSANDS of DOLLARS, in articles of LUXURY and DISSIPATION, and think less of it tliau they would of FIFTY DOLLARS in medicine to rebuild a BROKEN DOWN and WORN OUT CONSTITUTION.' Notwithstanding the number of years I have keen engaged in business, there may be those located at a distance that may not be aware of all the facts, and would like to be satisfied on all the points. Having been educated a druggist, I append the fol lowing From the Largest Manufac turing Chemist in the World. “Inin Acquainted with Mr. II. T. Helmbold; he occupied the Drug Store opimsite my residence, and was successful in conducting the business where others had not been equally so before him. I have been favorably impressed with his charac ter and enterprise.” WILLIAM WE1GHTMAN, Firm of Powers A Wrirhtninn, Manufacturing Chemists, Ninth and Brown Streets, Philadel phia, Nov. 15, 1854. I propose to give evidence that this Remedy is not a patent medicine. The objection which gener ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in medicine is “publicity.” If somebody should dis cover a remedy to prolong life, or an infallible cure for cholera or consumption, what a monster would he be to withhold his knowledge 1 We have yet to learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to quote, “that may not heal others of their fellow men of any disease.” Nor have we asked Pickwicks, afTectcd prudes, or, in short, men who are possessed of every kind df sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin ions but their own. The Buchu is a good thing. It has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to attest its virtues and commend it. It is the preju dice of bigots and the envy of “Quacks.” We offer ihe following evidence SEE JOURNAL OK PHARMACY. SEE REMARKS MADE BY DR.

Savannah, Tenn., May 14,1S69. Dr. II. T. Helmboi.d, 1 DEAR Slit: Wo introduced your “Fluid Extract 1 Bnchu” in this country about eight mouths ago, and arc* happy to state that it is meeting with universal favor. We wit»h to inform you of one Instance (among many) where your “Bi'ehu” has worked wonders. A man in our county, named J. It. Es tell, had lw*en suffering about live years with grav el. About six weeks ago he bought of us one bot tle of your “Bue.hu,” and before lie was through with one bottle he passed a gravel that weighs eight grains, which we now have on exhibition in our drug store, lie says he never will be without the “lluchti” in his house again. Your preparations are gaining favor every day. Very respectfully, yours, Ac., KCCLES A HINKLE, Druggists. Cure of Bladder and Kidney Af fection of Long Standing Stone Passed and to Be Seen.

I have suffered by spells very much for a few days past; but yester day relief came through the effect of your Bn hu.” A stone passed from my bladder about the size of i large pea. and 1 now Teel perfectly well, and en tirely free from the pain that I have stiflered with i “so hard.” I attribute my cure to your medicine entirely, and would recommend all persons similar ly affected to try it.

Cure of Kidney and Bladder Affection of a Patient seventy-eight years of age. T II A N K 8 TO MR. IIELMBOLD. Girard, Pa., March 31,1809. Editor Cosmopolite:—! desire, as an unsolici ted tribute to the merits of Helmrold’8 Buoiiit, and for the benellt of those similarly aftlicted as myself, to say that after consulting many eminent physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies, in the vain hope of finding relief lYom aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from which 1 have suffered excessively for many years, good fortune finally suggested to me HELMtiOLir’a Bl’CHU, which I commenced using with little faith, and no apparent beneficial effects for about a month. At the expiration of that time, however, I thought I commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere in its use. and now at the expiration of four months, although 1 am an infirm old man, nearly seventy-eight years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex pected to favorably affect me as they otherwise would, i have fouud such unspeakable relief and permanent benefit from Mr. llelmbold's valuable discovery, that 1 feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgment to him, ami a valuable suggestion to the public.

IIklmrolp—Dear Sir In regard to the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu rhu, 1 would say I have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or known to be used, in the various diseases where such medical patent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder ailtl kidneys, ami the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by ihe facts. I have seen and used, as before stated, every form of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tracts—and I am not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, t give me me right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality, 1 give you precedence over all others. 1 value your Buchu for its ell'ect on patients. I have cured with it, and seen cured with it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compound of w hatever name.

IIelmbold, Druggist—Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during w hich time I have used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised. I consulted my family pbysicau in regard to using your Extract Buchu. 1 did this because 1 had used ft’l kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and »omo quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, eubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I w as confined to my room. From the lirst bottle 1 was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and alter using it three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the tune, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see il it would effect ft perfect cure, knowing then it would he ol greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to n port that a cure is effected, alter u^ing the remedy for live months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and leel as well in all retqiecta as 1 ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tome and in vigorator of the system, I d# not mean to be without it whenever occasion i may require its use in such affections. M.

Jlailj Jifnitf&tf Journal. AUGUSTA. MONDAY MORNING. DEC. 8. 1876. The testimony of lloswell created an impression in his favor upon those who heard it. The east will probably be sub mitted to the jury to-morrow forenoon.| The Alabama difficulty is occasioned by the fact that Governor Smith believes hi opponent's majority was fraudulently ob tained. and he refuses to give up his offie. until the question is settled by the courts, to which he has appealed. The general government has not interfered in the mat ter aud does not propose to do so. The agreement of the great Powers o! Europe to a conference on the question raised by Russia, puts an end, for the present at least, to the danger of war on account of it. The conciliatory reply 1 Prince Gortschakoff to Earl Granville also indicates a peaceful settlement f tin threatened difficulty. The late despatches from France would lead to the opinion, if we had not so often found such coming from that quarter to be utterly false, that the French had re cently gained important successes before Paris. A few days will probably show- as the result of these French victories, the Prussians drawing closer around Paris, and rations diminishing in the city. II they do not, it will be something new in this campaign. The President's Message will without doubt be sent over the wires this afternoon, and the readers of the Daily Kennebec Journal will have it to-morrow morning, along with the usual report oi the lloswell trial. The Journal office has had no help thus far outside of its usual force, except one reporter, to give the very full and cor rect report of the trial which it lias pub lished day by day as it took place. Our report has been better than that published in the New York dailies of the McFarland trial, and we think there is no other office in the State that could have placed it be fore the public as promptly and as well as we have, without increasing its regular force. GENERAL NEWS. A New Hampshire apple tree bore forty-six bushels. What a borer! ’Tis sweet to know that there is enough sugar in Paris to last a long while yet.— I Ex. Davenport, Iowa, supplies the laek of other amusements with “shiverees.” French balloons, with a fair wind, travel as fast as an express train. A Pennsylvania oil man lost a set of tools in a well, a year ago, but the earthquake threw them out. The largest farm in England contains 3000 acres. The live stock is valued at $61,500. The custom revenues of Havana during the past year shows an increase of 86,000,000 over last year. Bradford N. Stevens, who was elected to Congress in place of Ingcrsoll in Illinois, is very ill, and his friends have little hope of his recovery. “Give me your chunk of licorice before you go, Johnny,” has succeeded the Button String ballad in the affections of Western warblers. The opening of the theatre* in Paris is a military provision, to prevent the troop* and the populate from dwelling too much on tlieir j situation. The Canterbury Shakers have just put a cabinet organ in their worship room—the first musical instrument they have ever owned. A Hillsborough Bridge (New Hampshire) farmer named Wellington has made at his cider mill the past season one thousand six hundred barrels. A Troy paper lately got two headings ex changed, and an obituary of a long time patron was heralded as “A Good Joke,” and a funny story was called “A Sad Announcement." In Harrisburg the policemen regard it as beneath their dignity to light and put out the street lamj>s. The Mayor tells them that they must perform this duty or he discharged. The British Guardian states that the Bishop of Gloucester makes frequent use of the half- j penny postal cards in his correspondence with his clergy, and that most of his commnnica- tions are written iu Latin. It is a pleasant tiling to reflect upon,'' says Dickens, “and furnishes a complete answer to those vrho contend for the gradual degen eration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the i last." A maiden lias fallen in love with Mr. John E.

Bricked, recalleil by defence, testified—Arrived at Hallowed on evening of Monday Sept. 19th, between 10and 11 o’clock saw roll of carpeting lying on work-bench in l.allin’s back room; that was while Mrs. llos will’s wounds were being dressed. First time ever saw Mr. Hoswell was some 8 or 4 weeks before the atiair occurred; met Hos well between Augusta and Hallowed spoke to him; he was walking towards Hallowed, I asked him to ride; he said “No, guess not.” 1 asked him a second time, and received the same reply; asked him a third time and he dually did. I asked him if he lived in Hallow ed he said ‘‘No;’’ I asked him if he lived in Augusta and he said‘'No;” asked him if he lived any where and he said “No.” I carried him as far as the Hallowed cotton factory, and then told him if he was going to stop at Hallowed he had better get out—that I was going to Loudon Hill: I formed an opinii n as to the condition of his mind and expressed it at that time. His general appearance and talk were strange. Mr. Libbey.—What in your opinion was the condition of his mind at that time? Mr. Keen—Objected to. The Court—Not admissible. Witness—Have been in practice 24 years have made insanity a subject of inquiry the same ns other diseases connected with my profession have had occasion to treat of in sanity in the course of my practice. Gradu ated at Hanover. Have made no specialty of mental diseases. Mr. Libbey—Now, your Honor, I claim to ask the question. The Court—Inadmissible,—very clearly. Mr. Libbey—Shad I inquiie upon what grounds it is inadmissible? The Court—I understand the law to be set tled that none but experts can give their opin ion those who have made insanity a special study are therefore supposed to have a knowl edge not common to others—such ns physi cians who have an especial care ot insane usy Ititus or insane persons. I ain not satisfied that a physician who has not made the study of insanity a specialty knows any more about it than any other intelligent man in the com munity. Mr. Libbey—I propose to get at it by the qualifications ot an opinion. The Court—If you propose to put in the opinion of uny man, 1 desire you shad show before you ask the filling of the cuurt, ad tho evidence bearing on the question. I do not like to rule by piecemeal.

The Court. He stated that he had not made it a special study,—any more than other dis eases. Mr. Libbey.—And is he notan expert in his profession, in all other diseases; he has treated patients for that disease; I submit that within the meaning of the law he is an expert; perhaps an expert, standing U9 he does, would not he entitled to so much weight as a man who has had the care of an insane asylum for many years, and in every case that comes up where ex pel ts are called, there maybe different de grees of weight to be given to the opinion of one or the other. For instance, ayounu man who had hut a short time before graduated and lias just commenced the practice of medi cine is admissible as an expert, still hi- opin ion might not be entitled to so much weight as a physician of twenty or thirty years' practice. Hut he is entitled to give an opin ion I submit, and it is to be taken for what it is worth under the circumstances. It is not the great amount of skill, the great degree of knowledge, the great degree of practice ot the expert, which is the test of admissibility, I submit, but that goes to the credibility, the weight to be attached. I am not aware that there has been any case decided hut do not know hut what there may have been, when physicians who have made the subject of in sanity a study, as other diseases, and treated patients for disease of the mind as well as other diseases, have been excluded. 1 know they were admitted in the McFarland ease—j many of them. The Court.—I never read the McFarland i r ise, Mr. Lihbcy of course in common with the community 1 have heard a great deal about it. Mr. Libbey—I have rend a part of it. I hat has been the practice in this court heretofore. incases within my knowledge; there is another case that is now before the court where phy-1 ricians of ordinary practice as physicians were called us experts and admitted. I refer! now to the Green will case trial at Bath In fore .lodge Kent, and that has been the practice' heretofore so far as my knowledge has ex tended. And then, qgain, in the I/iwrenco case at Bangor, Dr. Martain of this ci v. Mood precise y the same as the witness on the stand. I will reason the point if you desire. 1 The Court—I have no doubt the question i> as improper one. [The court gave permission to Mr. Libbey to make a farther preliminary examination, j and intimated that in the future it would ad here to the rule of requiring the preliminary examination to be computed before ruling or. the admission of the witness as an expert.] i Witness—Was surgeon in the army; had no occasion to treat cases of insanity in the army; have had a good many cases in my practice and have treated mental diseases alone; have made the subject of insanity a study as a part of my profession. Mr. Libbey.—Now I propose to examine the witness as a expert, your Honor. The Court. Do not think he is qualified to express his opinion as an exp rt; 1 am under oath as well as the jury. Before can admit any gentleman of the medical profession or any body else to express an opinion as an expel t, 1 must be satisfied that he is an expert. I am not satisfied that Dr. Briekett knows anything j more about it than any ordinary physician. I understand that he has not made it a spec-1 ini it y. Mr. Libbey.—Then if that is to be the rule in regard to experts, 1 suppose that we can not examine a physician as a surgeon unless he has made surgery a specialty.| Tlu» Court.—I suppose you will not require no to decide anything more than the present that is difficult enough. Mr. Libbey.—I suppose then in order to save our rights, that we should put the ques tion to him as an expert. If so, I put it so as to have distinct ruling. The Court. It is no use to put the ques tion to hint as an expert, calling for an opinion on the subject of insanity for 1 am not satis fied that he is an expert. [Witness was here directed by Mr. Libbey to step aside.] Dr. II. Hill, recalled by defence, testified— Graduated in Bowdoin Medical College in epring of 1836; have ever since practiced medicine ami surgery never made insanity a subject of special study; have made it a study j in common with other branches ot my profes sion; have had occasion to treat persons fori insanity during niv practice of 34 years think I have i ot given so much attention to diseases of the mind as to physical diseases. Mr. Libbcy—What is insani y The Court [to Witness]—Wait a moment. Attorney tlcneral—I do not feel inclined to object to Dr. Hill. The Court—If the counsel on both sides consent that any physiaian may give his opin ion I shall not interfere; I never intend to interfere; I wish to say, with all respect to Dr. Hill. I do not wish it thought that there is any discrimination between him and Dr llriekett. I know Dr. Hill personally, and well by reputation; he is an intelligent phy sician, and we know that lie stands in the first rank. And so of Dr. llriekett, 1 have heard; but the doctor (Hill) is not an expert on in sanity, and I wish to say that whenever he testifies he does it with a degree of candor and truthfulness that I commend to the con sideration ot others. The evidence tails far short, in my judgment, of making him an ex pert on the subject of insanity. Attorney General—It was with that view of the ease that I consented to Dr. Hill, and did not feel inclined to object; but Mill 1 do think that the ground as stated by the Court is ot such a sound character, and that it is so de sirable to keep out of the case opinions which the doctor himself, I know, would qualify, that 1 think I will object. The witness—It is my custom, when cases arc presented to me, to recommend them to the Insane Hospital for treatment. Mr. I.ibbey—Xow, Doctor, I wish to ask you whether in such cases you do not first m ike an examination into all the facts and circumstances tending to show whether the patient is sane or insane, before you come to a conclusion that insanity exists. Witness—I do, of course; it is usually the case, I think without exception, where it is evident to everybody. The Court—1 will read to you the law on which I rely. [Court reads from Gray’s lie ports, 14, page 336;] ‘•The defence relied upon was insanity. Jacob Mitchell, a witness called on behalf of the defendant, testified that he had been in practice about 30 years ns a physician, the last 8 years of whieli he had practiced in Chel sea, and the 11 preceding years in Welfleet. where the prisoner resided, and where the murder was alleged to have been committed that he had mpde the subject of mental dis ease a study, but not a special study; that he had considered the matter only so far in his general practice as to determine whether a patjent was in such a condition of mind as to require treatment for insanity, and if he was, be had been accustomed to call in the sertices of a physician who had made the subject ot insnnity a special study, and had Imd experi ence in the treatment of nu ntal diseases, or recommend the removal of the patient to a hospital for the treatment of the insane,” 'Ilie Court—And the Court held that lie was not an expert—not entitled to give his opinion as an expert. This physician testi fied further, however, that he had met the man frequently, and had talked with him iu the street; testified that ho had known the prisoner during the 11 years, while he was in Wellfieet—practising there; had seen hint very frequently and had spoken to him as he passed him daily in the street. Held not to lie admissible. Dr. Hill disqualifies himself rather more than Dr. llriekett, by his testi mony, I think. Mr. Libbey—May it please your Honor, this ruling has taken us by surprise; the prac tice as I have already stated, so far as it has come to my knowledge,—and 1 have been in several cases wltero the question of sanity or insanity was the test, in the State Court, and one in the U.S. Court,—where witnesses stood precisely the same as these—have been admitted as experts, without an exception. 1 never luvve betore known witnesses excluded, presenting the qualifications that these wit nesses have, in eases of this kind; so far as the evidence coming from nn expert goes, it leaves us in a very peculiar position. We have but one institution of the kind in the State, with but one physician at the head of it,—the Superintendent,—and he is summon ed by the Government. We cannot compel the attendance of an expert from without the State, so that, practically, so far us we now have knowledge, if we wish the evidence of this character, we are confined to the evi dence of one, bt cause we have no process to procure the attendance of a witness outside of the State. The rule, virtually, so far as my knowledge of the profession extends, makes the Superin tendent of the Hospital here the only expert in the State. There may he others. As we now stand, 1 ask the Court lor a postpone ment moil we can consult, and see if we can procure evidence. We are entirely surprised by this ruling. It is the first time within my knowledge of practice, that such ruling has been made in this State. I know some years ago 1 defended a young man indicted for stealing money at liangor—tried in the U. S. Court—and physicians, standing precisely as these witnesses stand, were summoned as ex petts in that Court. In this Court, where I have been eounsel in a number of eases on one side, it lias been so, therefore 1 hope your honor will give ns some opportunity to try and procure the evidence of experts within the rule now established. The Court. What is it you desire Make your suggestion more specifically. Mr. I.ihhcy. 1 desire now a suspension, un til we can consult, until we can see if there is any one within reach that we can procure. The Court. You may liavg a recess of 10 or 15 minutes. [A recess of l.» nuntes was hen- taken. 1 Mr. lieMay it please your Honor:— After consideration I have concluded to take upon niyselt the responsibility of foregoing the summoning of witnesses which I have brought here ft out another part of the city, and from a distant State—l)r. Harlow, the Superintend i nt of the Insane Hospital in this State, and Dr. George Choate, for many years Superin tendent of the Taunton Insane Hospital—are both present to testify in tins case. My broth er on the other side says that they supposed that the testimony of the physicians which they had summoned here, would be admissi ble. 1 had not supposed so, and from a care ful examination of the authorities had pre sumed that no one would be admitted except those who were especially trained, and could give an opinion that would be fit for a jury to rily upon. Such being the aspect of the case and they finding themselves without any wit nesses upon this point, and as I dt em my du ty simply to have the ease fairly presented to the Jury without advantage on the part of Government, and with the utmost fairness in my power, I have concluded to let the facts go to the Jury as they stand, believing that any intelligent man can come to a correct judgment upon this subject. I shall there fore not call those witnesses that I have named, although they me here, prepared to testify upon the subject. Mr. Libbey. May it please your Honor: After the statement made by the Attorney General for the Government, I think it proper for us to state how we understood this ques tion in regard to experts. So far as Dr. Hill and Dr. lirickctt are concerned as witnessec in this case*, they were summoned by the Gov* eminent, and we suppose summoned ns ex perts. Certainly Dr. Hill we supposed to be an expert, because we had no intimation that he was to testify to any fact, or had any knowledge of this case. I only stale the posi- tion that we were in. We had four that we intended to rail—Dr. Brickctt, Dr. Hill, Dr. McKeen of Topsham, for a short time Super intendent of the Insane Hospital, and Dr. Martin of Augusta. Those w ere the experts, and 1 supposed they were admissible. The Court. Perhaps it will not be improper for me to state that the best authorities say that any man of ordinary good common sense c.m describe a case of insanity just as well as tfie best experts in the world. I am glad you have mad the arrangements you have. .Mr. l.ibhey—.May it please your Honor, wo stop lu re. Tho Court—I will say to the counsel hy sug gestion. that I will only require them to close the evidence to-day. 1 had l oped at an ear lier stage of the trial that we should be able to close it this wctk; but it is now Saturday, and the counsel have expressed a desire they should not be compelled to enter upon the arguments to-day, even it the evidence was closed. 1 have taken the matter into consid eration, and on the whole I think that the re quest for the delay and little recess is not un reasonable, and shall not require counsel to enter upon the arguments until Monday. Mr. l.ibbey—There is another reason, and that is we have proeeided in this ease without taking any minutes of the evidence, to any extent, on account of having official report ers; and 1 think counsel on both sides should have an official report of the evidence before being required to commence the arguments. The Court—You are right. Kebcttimo Testimony. TIk* Government called Miss Anna L. Lakcman, wlw, having been swore, testified: Heside in Hallowed: knew Mr. Lallin, never saw Mrs. Hoswell to know her personally; have seen her at church; know now that I saw her at the depot on the 12th of September; know it was that day went to the d, pot a lit tle past one o'clock.

Went directly to Mrs. Boswell's t sitting-room; I saw the pillows of Mrs. Hos well's bed; botlt pillows were smooth. Cross Ex.—First went into what you call i sitting room; Mrs. Iloswell was not on bed I when I went in—-he was in her sitting room. I Was in the room long enough to go from her sitting room to her bed room; did not assist her to get on the bed; sbe was not on tho bed when I wont into her room. David U.

Dr. James B. Bell, affirmed, testified—Am homcepathic physician: remember being call ed upon to attend little child of Mrs. Iloswell, j who had been bitt* n by dog; was called again j in from three to five days to attend Mrs. Hus- well. Question-In what condition was she? Mr. Libbey—I object. [Witness steps aside by direction of Mr. I teed.] Charley It.

My mother at that time was sick abed Mr. Lafiin came to the door but did not come in; he did not stay over 5 or 10 mitiun s. I was not away only when 1 went fora pitcher of wati r; was gone 5 or 10 minutes; I went into the stable atter it; went and done the errand and came right back. 1 was bitten by a dog; Dr. Hell came on Friday or Saturday, I believe; he came to see mother when she was sick af terwards, on Monday or Tuesday.

I My mother had a wrapper on the evening of the murder, before I w» rit to bed; saw her wearing the wrapper that I saw here in Court with the blood on it; white buttons were on it. Mr. Latlin was in our house frequently; he was in two or three time s a day sometimes some days he would not come at all; have seen my mother talk with I itn in the yard; once saw mother beckon to Mr. Laliin at Mrs. Patterson’s request, who was in her window up stairs.

What did lie say Objected to by Mr. Libby. Witness. Saw Mr. Latlin during the day of the murder when he came from dinner; he did not talk with my mother then; saw him talk with her when we first got home. Cross examination Mother never talked to me about what I should testify to; once in a while she would talk to me about not to swear to a lie: she lias two or three times. Mr. Lallin came to our house when mother and I got home; saw him again at the door when he came back from supper; was at the door not more than five minutes; did not see him again that night; sewing machine was moved down between 8 and 8 1-2, and mother did not undress before I went to beti; I went to bed about S 1-2; Mrs. Patterson was in the house when I went to bed. I slept in a back room; once in great while I would slei p with her: can't say how of ten slept with her about all the time before she j went to Carmel, until a little while before we went away; then 1 slept alone: she let me sleep in a little room under the stairs, because I kicked her so. I was asleep; did not know what occurred that night. The day we went to llermon we went to depot about 1 o'clock. I)o not know from what direction Mr. Latlin came to depot; he was there until we went away. Ke-Direct—He was not talking with my mother all the time. The last time we went to llermon was about a week before the mur der; slept with her while there. Dr. James B.

Henry Sewall, recalled, [shown knife] Have seen that knife; Mr. Fowles showed it to me the 19th of September. [Witness ex plains peculiarities wf knife and why he can identify it Am employed at the jail. [At this point 22 witnesses, citizens of Hal lo well, were sworn.] Eliphalet Rowell, having been sworn, testi fied— Reside in Hallowed; have lived there over 30 years; knew John B. Lallin; have' known him 15 or 20 years. Question—Do you know his character? Mr. Libbey—I object. Mr. Reed—Do you know what his moral character was The Court—I have given the proposition considerable thought, thinking that possibly it might come up in this case, 1 have looked hurriedly into the authorities, but can find no warrant for it. It' you have any authorities 1 should like to see them. Mr. Keed—I have no direct authority upon tliis point, but the leasons which induced me to present this question: the reason why it seems to me that the testimony of these-gen tlemcn which have been sworn is admissible, is this: All testimony, as I understand it, is admissible—depending upon its tendency to prove or disprove a particular fact. Now, it we show that Mr. Laflin was a man of irre proachable charactir, it seems to me that it plainly tends to show that he was not in the act of adultery, or about to commit it with Mrs. Hoswell. If Iloswell had succeeded in his purpose, and had inflicted deadly wounds upon Mrs. Hoswell, and Mr. Laflin had es caped and was on trial here to-day for the crime of adultery, it is undoubtedly the fact that evidence of liis moral character would be admissible, to show the improbability of his committing such a crime. It seems to me that this stated fact of adultery and the fact that Mr. I.aflin has heretofore borne an irre proachable moral character, is an element proper tor the jury to learn, to consider the question whether this defence is true, or simply a wicked invention after the fact. Mr. I.ihbey—It appears to me that the counsel for the government now, ami I have thought to a great extent throughout this trial, have imagined that Mr. Laflin was on trial, instead of Mr. Hoswell, and the great effort in this prosecution is to vindicate Mr. Laflin for some reason or other, 1 don’t know i what. Now the issue here is, not whether i Mr. Laflin is on trial to be convicted or not: it is whether the prisoner at the bar had any provocation far doing the act which he did, 5 either by taking the parties in adultery, or under such circumstances as was convincing to him at that time that they wi re about to commit the act. Now tiie fact that Mr. Laf lin may have borne one character or another, or Mrs. Hoswell may have had one character or another, is immaterial to the issue. But 1 suppose the learned counsel for the State has accomplished his purpose by arranging his witnesses here, and stating the purpose, of trying to create a prejudice against the de fendant. The Court—I do not sec that an array of witnesses is to create any prejudice against the prisoner. The fact whether or not Mr. Laflin was guilty of adultery, is heing tried, and that is the ground on which the defence is tested. I do not know why a dead man should not be presumed innocent of crime un til proved guilty, as well as a living man. It seems to me that the presumption of innocence might be strengthened by showing that he was a man of irreproachable character. It does seem to me, upon reason, that such testimony is pertinent to the issue. But in looking in to the authorities I could find no authority for it. We rule all doubtful points in favor of the prisioner. I have doubts upon the mat ter and would not like for the first time to es tablish a precedent of that kind; then fore, 1 feel compelled, in the absence ol'any authori ty. to exclude the evidence, k Calvin Spaulding sworn and testified on the part of government.—My shop is on Water street, about east of the di pot; M r. Laflin has ofien bought room-paper of me. Bought some of me last summer, but cannot tell the exact time no one sells room paper in Hal lowed but me. At 4 o'clock Mr. Heed said ,-We rest the rebuttal here, your Honor.” Mr. Libbey—Then I suppose there is but one otla r matter to show, and that is the lo cation of Mr. Baffin's house. [Counsel pro duced a map of the city of Hnllowcll, and the location of the residence of Mr. Baffin, as well as that of his shop, and pointed out to the jury.] At a few minutes past 4 o'clock, the Court adjourned until Monday at half-past o'clock A.

Tho Bombardment of Bellf'ort has Commenced. Mantuciiet Ordered to March on Paris. Tours. Tours, Dec. :i. It is officially stated to- I ni«Iit that one or two days musi elapse be fore tlie fruits of the movements now in pto gress can be fully reaped. I’p to this time most complete success has attended succes sive steps taken. Every moment brings more to each other, the army of the Loire and I’aris. Prussians are concentrating at Etampes, 30 miles soutli of Palis, to dispute the advance! of Gen. Paladines. Prince Frederick Charles has left Titlii-1 viers. A baloon from Paris lias descended near Lc Mans. It left that city on the 1st, and brings the following news. The French troops kept the positions which they took in the sorties of the 39th and 30th, and were preparing to prosecute vigorously on the offensive moment. Gen. Yenoy had a position greatly in ad vance of Gen. Dncrot. The latter was stopped owing to a sudden rise in the river, brought about by the Prussians breaking away a dam, anil not on account of any re sistance offered by them. The Prussians re took Champigny, but the French again cap tured it. The Prussians and not the French demanded a truce to bury their dead. The army of the Loire made a successful forward movement to-day. All the railroads in this part of the country ceased temporarially taking passengers,! owing to the enormous movements of the troops. Gambetta announces that the army of the Loire has discontinued its tormal movement, owing to resistance of the enemy who have concentrated large masses of troops between Pitliiviers, Arthenay and Angerville. The army occupied a strongly entrenched posi tion in which it will remain for the present, postponing its advance until better opportuni ty is ottered. In the meanwhile Ducrot with his army which lie led out of Paris is disen gaged and will be able to act more freely, not finding before him masses of the enemy which it was supposed were going to meet him, but which really remained north of Orleans. The march of troops through Tours on the wav to the front is incessant. 1.011(1011. _ London. Deo. 3. On the 28th at day break, a cannonade opened from the (arts on the south side of Paris.

The Prussians are also dislodged at Granvilliers Jerie. l.oss severe. The Economist to-day, referring to German loan, says security is excellent, as no popula tion is better able to bear taxes, und none taxed so little. A correspondent of the Tribune telegraphs from Berlin, Sunday P. M., that the King tel egraphs to the Queen as follows "No light ing ol any moment yesterday at Paris. The Trench are massing troops from Vincennes. During the tight, Dee. 2. the French lost 1800 prisoners, including one general and 20 superior officers, besides 7 guns." The bombardment of Belfort has com menced. Nothing new has been received from the army ot the Loire. The military situation among best informed circles is deemed critical. Mantuellct has been ordered to march to Paris. It is stated on good authority that Bismarck insists that he must and will retire from office unless the convention with the south German States is adopted unaltered. Special to N. V. Tribune. The Tribune’s correspondent at Versailles on the 1st, writes that the sortie yesterday against the Wurtemburg division east of Paris, between the Seine and Marne, re- suited in leaving the French in possession of the villages about Brier Stir Marne. The j Germain say they must retake these villages at any cost. I.ille. Lille, Dec. 8. Gen. Ducrot's sortie from Paris was successful, lie is now seeking to effect a junction w ith Gen. Paladines.
