Being well acquainted with the Abbe Liszt, he told him of the rumors current In Amer.'oa relative to his proposed visit to that country. The Abb6 replied that he feared he should never visit America, lie had heard of the terrors of the sea voyage, and dreaded to attempt it. Besides, he would not visit it as a public performer, as he had given up all ambition iu that direction. At one time he thought he would go, and give grand vocal and instrumental concerts of a Sacred character, the proceeds of which should go to the Church, but that idea he has sinoo abandoned. "I wished to visit America for two things," said the .Abbe Liszt; "the one was to see Niagara and the prairies, and the other to try the Chickering Pianos, of which I have heard bo much." " The ALUS was delighted when he heard that Chickering & Sons would send pianos to the French Exposition, and said, "I will go to Faris if only . to play upon the Chickering Pianos."

ArMolmt, That Ihe association have been Impressed with the continued and rernarkalie ImproveiHnta made upon the previous superior excellence c4 the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insatre. which we ttnd, as heretofore, to be the model Institution of oar country, and an example tothose having otllclal rela tions to similar Institutions, i lustihid, 'I hat the Friends' Asylum Is a most conv mi nOahle reluge for tlione atlllcle( with mental disease, and that Its management is still character Ir.ed by the tame philanthropic spirit which secure for It In Its oriKln and throughout Its history hithertoi the confidence and sympathy of a watchful and dla crlminallng community, Jtilvel, That the Insane Depattment of the Phila delphia Almshouse exhibits la Its arrangements a disposition on the part of the Guardians of that insti tution to render It as suitable to Its purposes as can be reasonably expected, though far behind some of the best arranged municipal and county institutions lor similar classes of the Insane.

Kingsley & Co , pro prietors of the Continental Hotel, we are largely in debted for the liberality and conrtesy which have secured us unusual conveniences for our meeting, and that we cordially thank them for such couslderailon. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Dr. Kay gave an account ot a murder case In Brad ord county, Pa., which had lust been tried. Accord ing to the evidence, the murderer had been subject to epileptic fits, and his relations before him. One of these fits lasted three or four days. Wnen eight or teu years old he had an attack of eryslpelrs, which produced delirium. After he recovered from this It was discovered that bis mind was affected, bis character was changed, and be became very troublesome aud very unruly; they could not keep him, and he was sent Into the country, ana there stayed for a year. Then became back all right. At a suitable time he became an apprentice at the stone-cutting business, and was very Industrious. He worked over-time and laid up money. He was then observed to love solitude, lie shunned other boys, and made no acquaintances. After working at bis trade for sometime, became to Pennsylvania, and made the acqiatotance of the woman whom he suhsi quently married. She belonged to a vtry good family, but whs from all accounts a coarse woman. It was evident from tne testimony that thei idld not live very happily together. She was an ambitious woman, and was constantly spurring him on to do somntlilng more, lie was Irascible, and even very violent In his tem per. At one time he received a kick in the face from a horse, and was Insensible for a lime, and was dis abled lor some twenty-four or fortv-elght hours, bnt finally he became all right. In 1S2 he went to work in the Brooklyn rsavy Yard, but disliking to work by the day, be returned home. His oldest son, an epileptic, who bad been In the army, became very unmanageable, aud the lather at one time was beaten severely. This incensed him, and he ordered the lad to behave better or leave. This he declined to do. This may have added sparks to the flame In his mind, and may have had some efl'eot in producing the death of his wife. On his trial three experts, Dr. But ler. Dr. Curwen, and mysell, testified that In their 0 Inlon he was Insane. Dr. H. Preston Jones, First Assistant to Dr. Klrk brlde at the Pennsylvania 'Hospital tor the Insane, testified that he was not Insane, He was followed by tour otber practising physician iu the Court, who testified the same. A verdict of murder In the second degree waa re dered by the Jury. Dr. Cbapin tlien read an Interesting account of toe provision made for the Insane lu Klnts county, showing the extent and thoroughness ot Its character. Dr. Curwen sa d that he merely testified to theca-e mentioned by Dr. K.lng as to the fact ol the man's sanity or Insanity. Taking the man's morbid ner vous organization, which bad been clearly proved on the trial, I thought that he was distinctly insane m iiie ilnie he ieit the fielrtln which be was on Tuesday, the aim ot iovefuoer, tip to mo ur ..... arrest. ....... Dr. Hlcholls then, upon request, give a detailed occnuut oftbe Insanity of Miss Harris, who was tried and acquitted, on the grouud of insanity, of the mur der of William Burrows. She booame very incensed at a gentleman nam. d Collins, who came to see. nod finally married, one of tlie daughters ot the lady she was living with, and threatened to lake his life, and did actually attempt to stab him, but only succeeded In cutting bis clothes, K he was taken to Washington, and the speaker re quested to visit her. He found her In a condition not ' Do irusiea. one ifniuiuiviru uurum absence from court, and Immediately released. Dr. Klrkbrlde, Ihe President, said It was getting to be a perfect farce. A man takes the life of another; ha is tried and admitted on the Erottnd of insanity, and Is immediately discharged from custody. A man in Wilmington was shot down in the street; the man who shot him was arrested, tried, and acquitted on the ground or insanity. He was placed in our Asylum, bnt was taken away in about three months. I think it is our duty to ex amine this thing dispassionately and carefully, and suggest something that could be adopted by the Court whicn wouiu prevent tuia. x tuiua it wuuiu uu m bibbi public service. .... On motion of Dr. Walker, It was resolved that the project of a law be assigned as the first business of the next meeting, and that the Secretary notify the mem bers ol that tact In the regular notice ol Ihe meeting.

Inree farmers of the vicinity of Warrens purg, connected with the banof horse-thieves, have been arrested by the Vigilance Committee and lodged in jail, to await atrial at the next term of the Courti LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. .9OU.flT OF QUARTER 8E38ION8-Atlison, P. J. Allscullaneous buslnasswas before the Court to-day. An application was made to the Court for permis sion to change the rinuie of the "The Nautical and Knglneerlng College" to that of "The Philadelphia Polytechnic Colleire." The petition was timid, upon the Kround that the name is useful. 'lhls was objected to by the Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania, commonly known as the Philadelphia lolvtechnlo College, upon the ground that the petitioners wished to use this name fraudently aud without msrit. In order to attempt to reap part of the benetit of the word "Polytechnic," by which the Polytechnlo Col lege of Pennsylvania Is so deservedly well ikoown, aud to which they have do-Just claim; the word was appropriated In the first place to the State col lego, and should not now be traodently taken away or di vided with these petitioners. Judge Allison took this view of the case, and there fore letused to grant the prayer of the petition. Again was the quondam case ol the Commonwealth vs. HteveiiBon, Walker et al., brought before the Court. It has been so often reported that a simple allusion to It will recall the whole matter to the minds of the l ublic. The argument of the motion to send back a bill or Indictment to the Orand Jury which bad been Ignored by that body, was begun last (Saturday and was continued until to-day. This morn ing au attempt to resume It was made, but on accouut of the absence of counsel It again went over COURT OP OYKK AN U TKKMlNKR-Judsres Alllion, Ludlow, Peirce, and Brewster. The full bench sat tnls morning to hear the argument ot the motion lor a new trial in Wlnnemore's case. Counsel tor the prisoner asked a continuance, saying tbitt they had labored under such dilltcuitles that they had not been able to prepare their argument as It should be In a case oi sucu Heavy importance. They had written to persons In neighboring States requesting their attendance to testily as to the pri soner's condition of mind, from whom tliey had not had time to receive answers. Even tills morning they had for the first time received inform lion necessary for the prisoner's defense, but had not vet put It la roper form lor presentation to the Court. Mr. Dwlght objected to a compKanae with this ap plication, sluoe it was not supported by atlidavlts of th facts alleged. I Judge Allison. In giving the decision of the Court, said that the application as presented to the Court was not so supported as to give a legal ground lor con tinuance; but notwithstanding this view of the case, the Court was disposed to give the prisoner time, and allowed the argument to go over until next Monday week. . Wlunemnre was sitting In the dock during the whole morning, calm, quiet, and. apparently uncon cerned, lie louki lu better health than durliigtue trial, and he was seen to bestow a brother's smile upon the afleoilonate sister who. has beeu bo true and riMl JCL hlQ-L)uevl!i tlk won w UIMB JUUKUItUt Uuuu Thomas liurker, who was convloted of murder In the second degree In the killing of William Johnson, on the 2lst oi February last. A ter reviewing the case nt oonslderable length, and lnroriuflig the prisoner that he was fortunate tn not having been convicted uf murder In the first degree, Judge Allison Imposed' the sentence of Im prisonment In the Kaslern Penitentiary for the uerina oi six years.
