In entering tlio plea. Mr. McClelland, counsel of Hughes, urged upon the Court the necessity of reading some afiidavits in support of a request be would make for a light sentence. The Court having granted him permission, he proceeded to read ibe following nflidavit: The l'cople ngt. James Hughes City and County of New York, ss. Albert Uraig says that he Is acquainted with James Hughes; that this deponent is well acquainted with an indi vidual named E. 1. Howe, who was confined In the penitentiary on Illackwell's Island from Way '21 until December 'M, lSiO; that this depo nent Is acquainted with an Individual calling and styling himself ''George the Count Jo annes," vtboie name, as deponent has been informed and believes, is plain George Jones, from the fact that he has seen the said George Jones in the penitentiary on Black well's Island in company with tne said E.G. Howe, and conversing with him (Howe) in the month of September, 1870. Further, this deponent says that ho saw the said George Johes alias '"George the Count Joannes" engaged in con versation with the said E. G. Howo on divers and different occasions lu said penitentiary; that the said Howe made a confident of this depo nent, and tho said Howe iutended, upon their release, to proceed together to California. That the said E. (I. Howo disclosed to deponent the object of these frequent conversations and con ferences with the said George Jones alias "George the Count Joannes." That the said Howe told this deponent that he (E. (. Howe) and the said '"Count Joannes" were "putting tip a job," to nso his language, to secure the large reward of $49,000 which had been offered by the authorities for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Benjamin Nathan. That the Bald "Count Joannes" had announced through the public press that he was the chairman of a vigilance committee, and desired any informa tion leading to the arrest ahd conviction of the assassin of said Benjamiu Nathan. That the said E. G. Howe further informed this deponent that he had told the said "Count" that he (Howe) could furnish proof which would fasten the crime upon one James Hughes (with whom he. Howe, had quarrelled shortly before), and notwithstanding he knew and was convinced of the falsity of the statement he had made to the said "Count." This deponent solemnly avers that he has made this aflidavit without any solicitation from the said James Hughes or his counsel, or any person whatever, and iu order to reveal an in famous conspiracy against the life of tho said Hughes, and to expose to this court and the public the baseness, duplicity, and monstrous fraud of George Jones alias "George, the Count Joannes. Albert Felix Craig. Sworn before me this 520th day of January, 1871, A. II. Hummell, Notary Public, New York County. After sentence Mr. Roche addressed the Conrt, requesting his Honor to suggest to the District Attorney the propriety of laying the action of George Jones before the General Term of the Supreme Court, and ask that bis name be stricken from the roll of attorneys and counsellors. "The "Count" jumped up and said, "I accept the challenge !" Judge Bedford's hammer came down, and so did Jones. IIEIiOD'S AWFUL J1ALADY. A Parasitical Phenomenon-A ftllmdanlppi Lady belo l.lteraltv Kuten Alive by Woruis A C hapter of Horrors. The Memphis Avalanche of the 21st instant says: A correspondent (Dr. J. M. Hughes) of the Meridian Gazette furnishes a horror in the shape of an account of a woman being devoured by worms. Ihe woman lives in Newton county. The Doctor is treating the case. Of it he says: The firt sensation is a creeping feeling under the skin, .producing a very unpleasant tickling; they commence at any part of the body, from the bead to the feet, and whenever one is felt to move, there is no rest for the worm nor patient until it makes its way through tha skin. and when he gets through ouly lives long enough to prove that it is an animal, making a few eaorls to crawl alter it gets through the skin, and in a few moments there is no evidence of life, giving us no chance to find out the best plan lor killing the auimai wnue under the skin. While in the flesh it seems to be strong, with great locomotive power, travelling from Dlace to rlace under the skin, at the rate of from four to six Inches per hour, at all times seeming to be bunting a place to get through to the eurUce. They can be felt to crawl under the skin as tbey go from place to place as sensibly as a II y can be felt to crawl over the face; whenever they come, or attempt to come, through the tkin, they produce intense pain, redness, and swelling, and a tumor forms from the size of a ben's egg to that of a tea-cup, and in the course of from four to six hours it either comes out or removes to some other part. Home of the places suppurate, and it comes out covered in flesh; others make their appearance covered in blood, the latter giving the most pain they have visited almost every part of the body. And nothing that has been done as yet seems to give any relief or stop their propagation. The places where they come through the skin seem to be obstinate in healing. The first one came through about twelve days ago and the place Is not well yet, each place discharging from five to ten drops of unhealthy-looking pus pr day. The worm leaves a bole where he comes out about like where a common-sized petrglDg-awl bad been thrust through a piece of solid leather, retaining its roundness for several U;e. There have latu about icq &( kavo made their way through the skin. I attempted to kill them nnder the skin by dividing it with my lancet, and failing to get out but one-half of the worm, the part inflamed very much and pre sented the appearance of erytipelatous inflam mation; the others killed by pressure resulted about as the former, but both yielding to the common treatment of local Inflammation pool tics, etc. The worm is about one Inch to one and a quarter inches long, and about the size of a large broom straw, looking very much like the fish-bait, commonly called sawyer, that we find nnder firm bark of decayed trttes. The patient is a lady about twenty-tree years old, fair complexion, mother of three children, constitution very good, no scrofulous tumor lu the family. AN ILLINOIS SENSATION. A llnttlnt Jeweller and a Irfr ftloslclan A feberp In Walt's 1 lotblna. A Peoria correspondent of the Chicago lie puhlivan wiltes: One of the nicest tea, mag. cases in the his tory of this city has justcouiejto light, and, as a matter of course, is the town gossip. The hero is Herman G. l'eiu, a well known jeweller, and a leading light in the Baptist Church. He is also considerably Interested in the work of the Yoong Men's Christian Asso ciation, besides being the founder and super intendent of a number of mission Sunday schools. In addition to all this, he is a married man, and has been for some years. His wife is a very pretty little woman, and in this affair has the hearty sympathy of the community. Tlio "leading lady" is a Miss Martin, a well known music teacher. Her scholars came from the most aristocratic families, and as she pos sessed considerable musical ability and the ap pearance and manners of a lady, parsed well in society, and was thought by all to be as virtu ous and pure as an angel. It seems Unit about eighteen months ago Miss Martin applied to Fein for admission luto bis family as a boarder. After due consultation with his spouse ho concluded to receive her into the family circle, and there she was installed. Fein and bis wife were delighted with their lady boarder. Her engaging manners and fine musical tastes made hr a valuable acquisition to the little household. Between Fein and her an intimacy sprung up, closing) with ; a finale that makes society stand aghast, and ask In agonizing tones, "W hither are we drifting?" So adroitly wai it managed by the parties, that not the slightest suspicion has attached to either of them until now, although it has been going ou f.r over a year. Fein mended watches, and sold his wares on week days, and on the Sabbath sang his psalms with fervor and unction, the same as in days of yore when he was "cha-Jte as l!e." Tho fair syren attended to the duties of her profes sion, and lifted uj her voice In the sanctuary with the same ardor and purity of expression that are popularly supposed to characterise vir tuous young ladies religiously inclined. Strange to sa', the wife was as ignorant of the amorous propensities of her lord as the rest of mankind, and not until about a week ago did the faithful and Moving' partner of Fein's joys and sorrows realize tho truth. Then there was a muss. The wife made such a noise among her friends that a clamor raised up around tho ears of the devoted couplo such as was never before beard of, and the consequence was that early on Thursdaj morning passengers might have noticed a couplo purchasing tickets for some far-off port, to which they have sailed, never, the community hope, to return. DROWNED UNDER HIE ICE. Terrible HuflerlnKH of Fishermen. The Buffalo Cominpvcial Advertiser says: John Cavanaugh, aged fifty years, and his son William, aged twenty-one years, have been well known among the fishermen in this vicinity, residing on the other side of Buffalo creek, opposite foot of Chicago street. It seems the men named had set their lines through the ice iu the bay, and on Wednesday evening at an early hour started out to examine the same, the fattier stopping at his Hues, which were about two miles from shore, and William proceeding about two miles further, to the place at which be expected to make a haul. A strong wind off shore prevailed at the time, and, uu noticed by the men, the field of ice was separated, William Cavanaugh being upon the detached portion, and his father on the firm ice. The latter having overhauled his lines started out to where his son had gone, and by tho time bo bad reached the fissure created by the wind a thin coating of ice had been formed upon the surface of the water. Advancing unsuspectingly upon the treacherous footing.theoldman was sud denly whirled into eternity, being plunged into tbe cold depths below the ice, and drowned, no helping baud being near to save him. The son having taken the fish from bis lines, turned in the direction of the shore, and pro ceeded as rapidly as possible, as night was com ing on. Suddenly be was startled by coming npon a dividing space of water, and at once his perilous position was realized. The field of ice on which he had been at work had been broken into three floes, and the young fisherman wa In great danger indeed. He plunged into tbe chil ling waters, and swam vigorously to the oppo site side of tho channel, reaching what ho con sidered tbe firm ice in safety. Again he started toward borne, but soon reached another break, and bravely swam across, though almost helplessly chilled. When tbe young man reached a third break he well nigh lost courage, but plunged in again and finally reached the firm ice. By this time his clothing was weighted down with ice, his body partially numbed, aud everything looked dark. However, borne was reached a t last, and warmth restored and comfort given. It was at once realized that the father was either in great dan ger or lost. Boon a party was gotteu together and search was instituted. Arriving at the spot at which the old man was drowned, the sled was found, and signs discovered of tho unfortu nate accident. Yesterday morning grapnels were used, and about noon the body was re covered. ItAILKOAD TICKET CASE. The Rlaht to "Lay Over-Alleed Bad Faith to PHOMeaaera. The Baltimore American of yesterday says: In the Superior Court yesterday the trial was commenced of the case of Fllsha P. McClure vs. The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company, an action to recover for alleged illegal expulsion of plaintiff from a pabsenesr train of defendant while near Aber deen, V.d. . In passing on the prayers the court remarked npon the facts presented by the testimony, which substantially were as follows: The plain tiff, having a ticket to come to this city from 1'biladelph'a, and desiring to spend four or five hours at Fort Deposit, made inquiry of the ticket agent at Ferryville whether bis ticket would be good to carry him to this city, after stopping, as he wished to, and was informed that it would, lie went to Fort Deposit, and on returning got on a train, tbe conductor of which refused to receive tbe ticket, and told bim be must either pay or get off. There was no force or violence used to compel bim to leave when be refused to pa)'. The Court said that if the plaintiff had trot the ticket agent and conductor of the train on which be bad come to terryvine to write on the ticket that it was good for a subsequent time, then be would have a guaranteed right to ride; but as be bad not done so, the conductor of the (rain on which be subsequently got was Dot required to take bis word unsupported by tbe written authorization of the agent for bim to take another train than the one be bought tbe ticket for. Tbe plaintiff then submitted ! another prayer, more in consonance with the 1 views of the Court. Tbe jury returned a verdict lor Uie ceitnaant.

Notwithstanding the violent snow-storm last night the second card reception this season of Minister and Mrs. Thornton was largely attended by some of the most distinguished and prominent persons in Washington, including Judges of the Supreme Court, members of both houses of Congress, and a more than usually large representation of the foreign legations, cither in the persons of ministers or officers attached to them. The reception, was generally regarded as delightful, not less for the hospi talities extended than for the refinement und sociability of the guests. 8peeUU Despatch to Tha Evening Telegi-apX Washington, Jan. 27.

Members of tho Ways and Means Committee are informed that an organized effort will be made as soon as tbe income tax is abolished to increase the tax on whisky. Commissioner Pleasanton is said to favor the increase, but he will not recommend it at the present sessicn. The Income Tax Prospects ofKepeal. It is tbe general opinion that the Senate bill to abolish the Income tax is fully debated in the House, it will be defeated. If it Is taken up and put through nnder the operation of the pre vious question, it will probably succeed. The Tax on Paper. Frank Leslie made an argument before the Ways and Means Committee to-day In favor of equalizing the duty on imported paper, so that sized and unsized shall come in at the same rate of duty. The 'Hirer and Harbor Appropriation bill, so far amounts to five mil lions. When finished it will probably reach seven or eight millions. The House Commerce Committee has been unable to come to any conclusion on the various nteam.blp Nubuldy Bill before them. The conflicting interests are so great that unless the parties concerned can come to some understanding among themselves, tbe committee will refuse to report any of them. FROM THE WEST.

CASE. ritttburir OortorN I'niilile to Decide Between Hydrophobia and Kpllepujr. The Pittsburg Dispatch says: Yesterday morning a young man known by the name of Henry Hunzinger was brought into Pittsburg over the Western Pennsylvania Railroad from an island near Lincoln's station. He had been for a brief time in the employ of a farmer on the island named Lane. Un Saturday he was threshing oats, and without any warning he fell down in a succession of the most extraordi nary fits. ah the circumstances of tbe case were well calculated to arouse curiosity, and yesterday aiternoon a leporter visited Hunzinger in a ward of tbe hospital. Tbe man's whole aspect was so quiet, subdued, and even comfortable at tbe time that we regarded our visit as thrown away. Hunzinger is a large, athletic fellow, with a strong, square face, aud a qnite prepos sessing appearance. He was as quiet as a baby, and responded to our overtures for a conversa tion with the utmost politeness. lie has for some time been working as a farmer. lie ascribed his fits to the Inhalation of dust from oats he was threshing. We asked h m if be had not been bitten by a dog lately. He said that be had, about the e'nd of August, been bitten by a dog. and by a snake also, very nearly at the same time Tbe dog was not mad to bis knowledge. After the snake bite bis body swelled up and became discolored. He was kept drunk for four days on whisky, and finally got over both. We asked if he had ever bad fits of the kind before. He said that he had bad both at Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Doc tor Allee, a physician of some eminence, bad told bim that tbey were epileptic. We rose to bid the poor follow good evening and with bim well, when his body suddenly stretched out, bis eyes shut aud a peculiar noise was beard from him. In an Instant he was in one of kls teriible fits. Four attendants, who had by this timo become acquainted with his habits, rushed forward and seized his disen gaged arm before the paroxysm was at its height. This precaution is absolutely necessary. Had not his bauds been piuionedhe would have bitten deep into his flesh. Tbe gentle communicative creature of a mo ment before was now a writhing monster. One attendant grasped bim by both ears aud held bis bead firmly on the pillow to keep him from bending forward and rending his breast. Stronger muscular efforts were probably never witnessed than tbe poor fellow made to free himself from restraint. A sort of wail poured from bis mouth at tbe beginning of the fit. Suddenly be began to cbauip bis jaws like a wild beast. We were informed that la a pre vious fit at the hospital be bad turned himself and board so that he faced the floor, and buried bis teeth in the carpet and wood. D'Atalie might well have feared to put bis teeth and jaws in competition with this frenzied man. He next began to bark literally to bark like a dog. It would be hard to persuade any one who saw him do this that Hunzinger was not labor ing with an attack of hydrophobia. The man's struggles were so fearful that we distrusted both straps and attendants, and hav ing nothing at stake, we thought it about time to retire. Tbe Rev. Mr. Wcnzel met us at the door. While talking to the Rev. gentleman we were surprised to receive a message from Hunzinger staling that he would like to see us. Ho had got over his paroxysm, and though very much exhausted said that be bad suffered no pain. If it be epilepsy, it is certainly a very peculiar case. Mow YorU meeev aad Mteclc market.

AN OLD TIME RELIC. "Snbba-nay or Noon Ileaae.." The Boston Traveller says: At Townsend Centre there is still standing one of these relics of a former time, a '"dAbba i ay or Noon House." Before tho modern convenience? of stovesand furnnces tor warming churches, it was very de firahle after attending service iu a cold ineet-ing-honee to have some place during the lnter missicn where tho sufferers could go and warm themst Ives Bnd eat their lunch. Some used to goto ut itfhboring houses that wero kindly o ened for particular friends; others went to the tavern, which always kept an open door and an open bar; others built for themselves what wsre called "Sabba-day" or "Noon Houses. " The pastor of the Congregational church In Townsend, in a receut historical discourse, de scribes these houses. Like the one now stand ing at Townsend, they consisted of four rooms leu or twelve feet square, with a fireplace lu each room. They were generally built at the united expense of four or more persons, to be occupied only on the Sabbath by their respective families and such guesU as they lnvitod to join with them. Dry lucl was kept on hand ready for kindling fires, and usually a barrel of cider for each family was placed in the cellar. Un the morning of the Sabbath, the owner of each room deposited in his saddle bass the necefsarj' refreshments for himself and family. and took took an early start for the sanctuary, lie first called at his noon-house, built a tire,' flepositea his luncheon, wanned himself and family, and at the hour of worship they were all rtady to sally forth and to shiver in the cold during U e morning service at the houso of wor ship. At noon they returned to their noon bouse, wilh invited friends, whero a warm room received them. The saddle bags were row brought forth, and their contents discharged on the table, of which all partook a little. Then each in turn drank from the pitcher or mugs of cider which had been brought from the cellar. This service being performed and thanks returned, tho remaining time was spent in reading notes and discussing the morning sermon, a chapter from the Bible or from some other book of a religious charac ter; not unfrequently prayer was ottered before retiring again to the sanctuary for the after noon worship. At the close of the services of the afternoon, if the weather was severely cold, the family returned to the noon-house to warm themselves before going homo. The fires were then extinguished, the saddle-bags gathered up, the house locked, and all returned home. Tho exercises, after lunch, here described, were much more appropriate for the Sabbath than those iu modern times of warmed churches and Sabbath-schools, connected with "horse shed" and '"horse-block classes," which some can remember, and which even now exist, which were moetly dl6cuslons about tlio weather, tha crops, the improvements in stocks, politics, and such matters. AERIAL NAVIGATION. Trial of ibe New tnn Francisco Flyloc itlnchioe. The Fan Francisco JinlUtin of January 7 says: The newly-luvented '"flying-machine" was put into operation yesterday, with considerable success. When everything was tightened and got in good running order, and the propeller arranged to cause elevation, it was just 12' o'clock. The fire for raisins steam was then kindled, and In one minute and a quarter steam was opened. At 12 47 P. M. tbe machine was cut loose and tbe propellers started. She then rose most gracefully in the air, amid the cheers of the crowd who bad gathered to witness the ascension. The machine was frnldcd by cords attached to both ends of tbe balloon, and lu the bands of persons on tbe ground. She ascended about fifty feet and sailed along about a block, when she was pulled down to havo her boiler replenished. Again she arose, this time to a height of two hundred feet. All the machinery connected with it worked to tho perfect satis faction of tbe inventor, who Intends to place it on public exhibition at some place, of which notice will be given. Tbe name given her is "America." . LTJOAL IWTSLHOIinCI. Tbe Trial of Dr. Nevllle-Aa Alibi. Court J Oyer out Terminer Judyet AUUon ana rajcuon. In tbe case of Dr. W. II. II.
