The hall was filled, and the Colonel commanded the attention of bis audience for two hours and a quar- ter. He .commenced with a description of the ship and the ocean voyage, and con- tinued with an account of landing in Oork and visiting Blarney castle, the celebrated lakes of Killarn% and other places of in-* terest. From thence he took in Glasgow, Edtaburg, and gave brief descriptions of thoss cities. The Colonel's observations in travel were evidently made more from poetic than from a practical standpoint, and he dwelt with a peculiar interest on Scotland so rich in historic memories and the home of such rare poetry sod ro- mance. From thence he noticed London with a brief description and then turned his attention to the grand old cathedrals of England, finishing up with Westmin- ster Abbey. The lecture was listened to attentively and was free uently applaud- ed. The Colonel's powers of description are good, and his audience seemed very well pleased and enterta Jjed by his effort.

Crowded oat of our last week's •dltion. The tnal oi Joseph Woods, in Malone, has excited peculiar interest in St. Law- rence, from the fact that of late of our own county has passed thraugh a similar experience, The trial commenced on last Wednesday and was finished on Friday. From beginning to end the evidence has been mott damaging to Woods, and there could not be the slightest doubt but that was the guilty man. The facts of the murder are as follows. A tramp enme to tephen Barber's, in the town of Bel- moiit, Franklin county, on August 23rd. 1877, und wanted to sell a coat for $9.00. Mr. Barbour put on the coat and findinc hat it fitted him concluded to buyV He went into another room, got his pocket book and paid Woods the two dollars, nd in maklug change he showed that he had three ten dollar bills. He also gave he trsmp his dinner, and Mrs. Barbour gave him a lunch as he said he was on his way to Potsdam Junction. He then left, ut was seen by several lurking in the vi- inity. On Aug. 26, Sunday night, Mis. Barbour was awakened by a pistol shot and saw the man of whom her husband bought the coat pointing a pistol at bun. He fired two or three shots, killing her husband, and then fired two shots at her, one ball glancing from her head and the ther entering it just above the eye. It was a bright moonlight night and she ea- sily recognized him. He then searched the house and left. Mrs. \Barbour lay. in a semi -unconscious state till morning, she crept out to the road and told a passing neighbor. An alarm was at onco sent out Mrs. Barbour could give a de- scription of the Diurdeier and he was trace? Into Clinton Co. and there captur- d and brought back, and came near be- ng lynched.by the indignant and excited people. He has been in the Malone jail ver since, seemingly stoical and indiffer- ent, refuting the assistance o1 counsel aod never assorting his innocence. The first llay of his trial was occupied by drawing he jury, an attempt boing made to delay the trial on account of illegality of the )u- ry, but Judge Potter overruled all objec- ions and the trial proceeded. At the drawing of the jury Woods made a speech n which he said that the jury were prej- udiced against him, that all with three exceptions had declared a belief in his guilt, and such a trial would b« a hollow mockery. He proposed either a change of venue or that half the jury be compos- ed of Irishmen. The court denied this and the trial proceeded. Mrs. Barbour testified positively that tbe prisoner was the man who shot her husband, others tes- tified that they saw him in the vicinity of Barbour 1 s on Sunday. One person testifl- fled that the footprints around the win- dows where the' murderer entered the bouse bad two rows of nails which corres- ponded with the shoes that Woods wore. Some empty cartridge shells picked up ust outside the window exactly fitted Woods* pistol, and tfeey had the letter U, trsde mark ol the manufacturer upon them, as did some which were found in Woods 1 possession. The testimony was very perfect and wove a net of evidence around tbe prisoner that nothing could break. The Dfisoner sat within the railing dur- ing the trial listening intently and view- ing everything with stoical indifference. He is a man of largo frame and command- ing appearing. The growth of his beard had obliterated that villainous hardened look that was apparent at the time of his capture. He made three speeches during the trial. All of them showed that the prisoner had some knowledge of law, and was a man of considerable education and flood natural capacity. Tbe defence sum- moned no witnesses, but made a speech in which he declined*to go on the stand, aa be did not believe in swearing. It was noticeable that he at no time denied his guilt or asserted his innocence. The Judge ma^e an able charge and the jury were absent but hall an hour when they returned with a verdict of murder in the first degree. The prisoner's manner did not change at all and he laughed as the district attorney moved the sentence. In V SGBTINB AS EXCELLENT MIDICINL. • tomorarxvu). O., Tt\). %. ..
