The Ci ime chai ged against my client was one of shocking atrocity the murder of bis own child. The popular verdict bad already condemned him, and there was little doubt but that of tbe jury would go tbe same w ay. Aithnr Perkley, the prisoner, bad mar ried Edith Oi anger, a wealthy beiiess whose father bad died, leaving her bis whole fortune, to the exclusion of a protli gate son whom be bad disinherited and driven from his home. Mrs. P.eikley died within a year after marriage, leaving an infant a few weeks old, a feeble little creature, requiring con stant and assiduous care. Indeed, Pr. Baldwin almost took op his quarters in the bouse, often passing the night there, that he might be at band in case of need. One of these nights, the doctor, as be aftei wards stated in bis evidence, after re tiiiog to bed, feeling solicitous about bis little charge, got tip and stole soflly to the nursery to see that everything was right. Jf? found the door ajar and a dim light burning within. As be advanced, he dis tinctly saw Arthur Heikley standing by the table, holding to the child's mouth the Wile from which it was accustomed to re ceive its food. At tiie sound of the doc tor's footsteps, be quickly put down the bottle, and steilthily left tbo apartment by a side entrance. Not n little surprised at these move ments the doctor approached and laid bis band upon tbe child's face, which he found i'i violent colvulsions, which were followed, in a few seconds, by tbe stillness of death. A pout mortem examination and analy sis of the contents of the stomach, placed it beyond doubt that prussic acid had been administered. And an examination of the bottle, f.Hind where Eeikley bad left it, proved that the milk in it contained a large quantity of the same deadly poison. On this evidence Berkley was arrested and indicted for murder; and there was not a dissenting voice as to bis guilt. An incentive to tbe crime was found in the fact that, as heir to his child, be would in herit the fortune which bad descended to tbo latter through tho death of its mother. No wonder deed so monstrous, actuated by motives so mercenary, should excite the deepest indignation. Berkley's previous character bad been good. He bad al ways a ppeared gentle and kind ; bad been a devoted husband ; and, durin" the brief period of its life, had shown tbe tenderest attachment to bis Cl In my conference with bim, be seemed overwhelmed with grief, but strenuously denied all imputations of guilt, asserting that be had not gone to tbe imrfiery after retiring that nicht, till called by tbe alarm of the child's death. Of course, bis statements, in tbe face of n,',,f, ko damaging, weighed but little I lllrl no confidence in tl' myself. Still, it was my professional duty to seetbac a man d for bis life, who naa enu... EBEXSBUIIG, corded him. This duty rierfoimed my conscience would be clear whatever the re milt. uouiu ue tedious to dwell on the steps eceding the trial. I interposed no obsta cles in its coming on speedily. My aim mi.ka . a. a. a l a.. . - ..v.w juoi ivt-j UUb to see it fairly meted out. , j Dr. Baldwin was the first and chief wit- , noss. He told bis story clearly and meth- odically ; and it was easy to see it carried conviction to the jury. My rigid cross-ex- animation only served to bring out bis evi- nrt? uui to t wart I MP Pivk nf inwhon K., I rtence with more distinctness of detail. I , elicited the fact, for instance, that the ! child's nurse lay in the same room ; that ! she was asleep when the doctor entered, ! and that it was to her be first nr.nounced tho child's death. I also examined fully as to the prisoner's acts at the time the alarm was Riven, thinking to prove that he came from bis own chamber, appearing to bavo been jst aroused fn "in sleep. Hut I made nothing of this, the witness stating that his agitation had distracted his attention from casion of the fifteeth anniversary of tbe es these points. i tablishmeut of the military order of Maria The doctor bad only recently settled Theresa, among us, but his conduct bad been so ex- ! Not far from thirty thousand cavalry emplary that he had made many friends. were in line. A little child, not more than lie bad especially won the confidence of the prisoner. I interrogated him as to his past career, but brought out nothing tj his discredit. The evidence of the chemist who made he analysis was next put in, and the State's attorney "rested." "I have brought the nurse here," he said, "but as she was asleep when the pris oner entered, her evidence is unimportant. I thought it my duty to have her here, however, to afford the other side the op portunity to call her if they desired." Nothing could render the prisonr's case more hopeless than it was aheady, while something miyht come out to his advan- tage. i "I will call the witness," I said. j She was a middle aged woman, of not unprepossessing appearance. Her agiia tation was visible ; and I noticed that, in taking the oath, she laid her hand beside the book and not upon it. "I ask that the witness be sworn with her hand upon the book," I said, calling attention to the omission. The judge so ordered ; and the witness's hand shook violently as she reluctantly obeyed the direction, and the oath aus le administcred. After a few preliminary questions as to the hour of her retiring, her failing asleep, &c. "What is the uext thing you remembei?" I asked. The witness hesitated. "Answer the question," said his Honor. "I I heard a noise as of some one com ing into the room," she faltered. "Did you see any oue enter ?" Another pause. I repeated the inquiry. "I did," was the answer. "What did the person do?" The woman's face grew paler, and it was with difficulty she found utterance. "He came to the side of the cradle," she j said, "with the bottle of milk in his hand, j ami put it to the baby's mouth."

But I had gone too far to retreat. My voice trembled almost as much as that of the witness as I proceeded: "Did you recognize that person?" "I did," was the answer, scarcely audible. My client's life hung on the answer to the next question! The silence of the court-room was death like. I dreaded to break it. The sound of my voice startled me when I spoke. "Who was it?" I asked. Her lips moved, but no sound came. "By the solemn oath you have taken on that sacred book, and by your hopes of salvation hereafter, I adjure you to tell the truth !" I said earnestly. Her agitation was fearful to witness. She shook from bead to foot. A deadly pallor overspread her face. Slowly raising her trembling band, and pointing at Dr. Baldwin : "That is the man !" she almost shrieked. Then, in quick, wild accents she went on to tell that on finding himself discover ed by reason of her waking, tho culpiit, who was no other than Geo. Granger, Mrs. Berkley's profligate brother, bad disclosed I to Iter that, n is purpose was io regain ins lost inheritance by putting out of the way those who stood between him and it, prom ising the witness to provide for her hand somely if she kept his secret ; but, when put to the test, she bad found herself una- ble to violate her solemn oath. Geo. Granger, alia Dr. Baldwin, would have left tbe court-room, but an officer was ordered to detain him; and when bis dis- j niisfl was removed, though he had been j r absent many years, there were many pres eut who could testify to bis identity. My client was acquitted on the spot ; and bis cell in tho prison was that night occu pied by his false accuser. Witat we know here is very little, but PA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1870. HOW A CHIT.D WAS SAVED FROM CRUSHED TO DEATH. BEIXO A writer in the Ledger says t I find it in my scrap book, clipped and pasted there a fiv.wi r j v n i piju, lll llllll LUIIU111I1 lilt Austrian cavalry bad a charm for me at the time, as I was just home fiom that part of the world. I bad witnessed the evolutions at drill of the cavalry or every European nation except the Russians, and the Austri- aim bore the palm. It is a grand sight c. - a . A I. : twenty to foity thousand horses, where each and every borso understands the slightest note of the bugle, sweeping over the plain, and changing position like an enormous machine, guided by an unerring master band. It must be seen to be appreciated. Words cannot reproduce the picture. On a certain occasion an event transpired which lent a tnost thrilling interest to the military scene. It. was a review held in Vienna, on the oc- four years, standing in the front row of' spectators, either from fright or some other ; cause, ru.siieo out into tne open Held just j as a squadron of hussars came sweeping round from the main body. They bad made the detour for the purpose of salut ing the Empress, whose carriage was drawn up in that part of the ground. Down came the Hying squadron, charg ing at a mad gallop down directly tijK'ti the child The mother was paralysed, as : were other5!, for there could be no rescue from the line of spectators. The Empress ' tittered a cry of horror, for the child's de- j struction appeared to be inevitable and : such a terrible destruction the trampling j to death by a thousand iron hoofs. j Directly under the horses' feet was the 1 little one another instant must seal its j doom ; when a stalwart hussar, who was in the front line, without slacking his speed or loosening his hold, threw himself over by the side of his horso's neck, seized and lifted the child, and placed it in safety upon his saddle bow, and this he did with out changing his pace or breaking the cor rect alignment of the squadion.. Ten thousand voices 'nailed with raptur ous applause the gallant deed, and other thousands applauded when they knew. Two women theic were w ho could only sob fu th their gratitude in broken accents the mother and the Empress. And a proud and happy moment must it have been for the hussar, when the Em peror took from his own breast the richly encircled Cross of tho Older of Maria Theresa, and hung it upon the bieast of the gallant trooper. tiirki: Of on LI2SSOXS. "One of my first lessons," said Mr. Slurgis, the eminent merchant, w as in 1813 when I was eleven years old. My grand father had a fine flock of sheep, which were ca.iefully tended during the war of those times. I was the shepherd boy, and my business was to watch the sheep in the fields. A boy who was more fond of his left the work for me while he lay under j the three men then took the road west- tlie trees and lead. I did not like that, I wa'd .1" hw ''' hour John Stonier , - ,, A, . i and bis brother-in-law, John Lambert, and finally went to my grandfather and , ft blacksn.iil, by trade and a tho.ough complained of it. I shall never forget the fionti-.-rsmau, weie startled while in cou kind smile of the old gentleman as he said: j veiationJ on the poicu outside the inn to "Never mind, Jonathan," said he, if j Pollock's ridei less hoises approaching you watch the sheep you w ill have the sheep.' "What does grandfather mean by that ?'" I said to myself, "I don't expect to have a sheep." My desires were moderate, and a fine buck was worth a hundred dollars. I could not exactly make out in my mine! what it was, but I had great confidence in bim, for he was a juelge, and had been in Congress in Washington's time, so I con cluded it was all right, and went back con tenteelly to the sheep. After I got to the field I could not keep his words out of my mind Then I thought of Sunday's lessons: "Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things." I began to see through it. Never you mind who neglects his tluty, be you faith ful and you will have your reward. I leceived a second lesson soon after I came to New York c'ty as a clerk to tbe late Lyman Reed. A merchant, from Ohio, who knew me came to buy goods, and said, "Make yourself so useful that they cannot do without you." I took this meaiiinrr nniekor than T did that, of mv " yit y t j i . -j iicii. I wuikcu upon itiese iwo lueiis 1 . until Mr. Reed offered me a partnership in the business. The first morning after the partnership was made known. James i n , , . . . . . Geery, the old tea merchant, called in to t T j congratulate me, and be said : 'You are j all right new.

In the year 1812 the western portions of Pennsylvania, embracing the mountainous legions between Chambersburg and Pitts burg, presented little more than an un- broken wilderness, through which the great road from Philadelphia passed ; and at that jeriod it was a highway between the East ern cities and the great Western wilderness of Ohio atid Kentucky. About midway of this road, and in a most dismal locality, was located an inn, kept by an honest, well-to-do German, named Stottlers. The bouse was a small one, Out the accommodations were amply sufficient for the travel that came that way. In the spring of the jear mentioned, theie came from the stock-raising region, around Pittsburg, a drover, who, with his thick of well-fattened bullocks, was on bis way to Philadelphia, lie was well armed, and j mounted on a horse of spotless whiteness. In conversation with the inmates of Stot : tiers' inn the most of whom were ordinary hunters be staled without reserve the ou- jeets of bis trip, .and communicated tbe fact that on his return he would stop at the ! tavern with the proceeds from the sale of I his cattle in his possession. On the day following his arrival, the stranger departed. About three weeks j thereafter, or at the time be was expected j to return, two Canadian Fieuchmen, of I villainous appearance, and both heavily armed, ai lived at Stott leas', and, alter i breakfasting, continued their journey east ward. In less than an hour they returned, ! accompanied by a thiixt tiaveler, who was mounted on a white horse that closely ic seu.bled that ridden by the Pittsburg ' drover. The third party, in the course of bis conversation wuii tbe landloid, stated that bis name was Pollock, that lie lived near the residence of General Arthur St. Clair, in Weslmoieland county, and that he was on bis wny to n j 'in his wifo and childien, from whom he had been separated for some weeks. He slated also that ho was a tanner, but possessed of small means. The contents of his pure weie, however small they might be, at the disposal, in equal shaies, with destitute travelers, such as those whose company he was in, and whose expenses to Pillsbuig he expected to pay. Alter pai taking of some refreshments : luuiu on u gaiiop. -vs ine? riiiiiii.w nctieu them they saw that he was besmatted wiib blood, and La.ubctt, w ho had just been com muiiicaliug his suspicions oi tbe French men; insisted that the farmer had been murdered, and urged an immediate puisuit of his companions. 1 he servants about the inn were at once mcMjhted and sent out to scour the country for assistance, while Lambert aud his less energetic relative busied themselves in pre paring their horses and arms lor the chasu. By noonday about a dozeu men, residing nearest the inn, congregated at the general ! rendezvous, aud, with Lambeii fora leader, j were soon iu pursuit of the inurdeiers. j After a journey of about one mile the parly j came lo Ike scene ef tbe murder. Here they discovered the evidences of a terrible : struggle, 'ihe snow which lay upon the ! ground was much trampled anel greatly discolored with blood, aud a lew leet away from this scene lay the corpse of the mur dered man, wedged it: between two logs and covered with the lubbish of leaves and broken twigs. Two balls had passed through the boely, and in the breast were several gaping wounds that bad evidently beeu indicted with a large bunting knife. One of the bands of the deceased was terribly disfigured, as be bad evidently grasped the blade of the knife, which, be ing drawn thiougb his liugeis, nearly cut them in twain. His clothing n;.s badly I lorn, while b is countenance indicated the . ri j . intense agony of bis dying moments, it appeared from the foot tracks in the ! snow leading to the west that the murderers ' f'oir horses free or been compelled it'j pait with them, and this seemed a wise 1 , ., .' . .1 il'iiAH 111 lull tt t It k 1 1 lit lT Ott I llM nilillllTlll- ous condition of the country aheaet of them rendered travel by foot, to those accustomed ' "c1' exertion, lar more expeditious than i by horseback.

Accoid ingly the major part of the party at. once continued on the trail, while three or four of the men removed the boely and horses to Stottlers' inn. Shortly after night bad fallen, Lambert's associates became dis- j satisfied with their errand, aud in a body j returned to the inn. Tho intrepid blacksmith, not withstand- ing the demoralizing defection, continued the pursuit nlone. Alter tiavelmg iu a uuithves:ciu direction, for twelve or four- teen miles he came to an old and disused road, running nearly parallel with the one be had left.

A woikmnn named the man in vhoe hand was the still smok- 1 Duikin, who was engaged pushing a car ing musket.

CiiAc.t;n ttts Minp. A young ivan whom I know, says a correspondent of a New York paper, crossed the Chelsea ferry to Boston one morning, and turned into Commercial stieet. for his usual glass. As be ninied out the poison, the landlord's wife came in and confidentially asked for five bundled dollars to purchase an elegant shawl she hud seen. lie drew from his breast pocket a well-filled pocket book and counted her out the money. The man pushed aside the glass untouched, and lay ing down ten cents, depaitcd in silence. That very morning bis devoted Chiistian wife asked him for ten dollars to pinchase a cheap rloak. that she might attend church. He crossly told her he hadn't the money. As he left the saloon be reflected ; "Here T am helping to pay for a five linn- died dollar Cashmere shawl for that man's 1 - , wije, nut my wue hsks in vain lor a ten i . . -i , . r . dollar c'oak. I can't stand this. I have spent my last dime in diink." When tho next pay day came that meek, loving wife was surprised with a beautiful new cloak from her refoimcd husband. She could bard'v believe her own eves and ears as he laid it out on the tabic, saying: 'Th ere. Lmnm. is a present for you ! I have been a fool long eitontjb. Forgive mo for the past, and I will not touch liquor again. She thiew her aims about bis neck, ami her hot. tears told her heart felt joy, as she sobbed : "Charlie, I thank you a thous and times! I never expected so nice a cloak. You couldn't have selected a pret tier one. This seems like other days. Come, now. I have supper all ready. You are so gixxl. and I am so happy." The great, strong, noble fellow couldn't hide his teais as he related the facts to me. Ho said it was the happiest hour in teu years of mariied life. Coxcfrxino the word "Salt Ti'vor," as politically applied, we clip the following from an exchange : Davy Crockett, tho famous Kentucky i Congressman, while a Whig candidate, was ! challenged by Ins Democratic opponent to meet turn on the stntnp in joint disension. Crockett accepted and tho d.iv and place were fixed, but Crockett did not appear, and tbe poople. thinking bim afraid to do so, rallied for his opponent, and elected him. It afterwards turned our that Crockett, who had stnrtrel f"r tho pine in a eanoe propelled by a negro, bad been landed in the forest at the bead waters of Salt River, by his tronelierous guide, who til"" swiftly p:-dd'ed oft" down the stream. Crockett was too good a hunter to staive in the wil derness, but he was totally unable to reach the appointed place in time, ami gave Hup nnd with it bis chance of election.
