HAVE located in Carlisle for the purpose of
manufacturing and selling Hathaway's Pa
lent Hot Air Cooking and being aware, that
the people in this place and vicinity have been
much imposed upon by the introduction of new
and highly recommended articles which they have
been induced to purchase, and which have been
so slightly made, and of such'*bad material, that
in a short time they have failed and become user
less. We therefore do not intend offering stoves
fqr sale until they are fairly tried in this commu
nity and pronounced more durable in their con
■slTJicliohV a'nd“iroicer. adapted to the purposes of
boiling, baking and alLthe varieties of cooking,-
also ihat they are a great saving of fuel as well as
labor. * '
We earnestly invite farmers as well as residents
of this place and the neighboring villages, to ,call
on us at S; Wunderlich’s,hotel, or notify ns by.
letter (postage unpaid) that they are .willing to try
our stove; and the stove shall be placed .in the

is No.' 3, it has 5 boilers and,an. oven suflioiently

with much less wood than required for any stove

GEORGE F. CAIN,
Messrs. E. Robinson & Co.
Gentlemen:—l liavo fairly tested, the “Mot Air
Stoves" which you put up at my house and can.
recommend it as possessing principles of economy
and convenience far surpassing any other stoves
which I have ever seen. The boilers coming in
ifhmediate contact o with the fire gives it great fa
cilities for boiling, and tho oven is.heated on such
a principle that bread is baked in as fine a manner
as in a brick oven. I find it also a great saving of
fuel and labor, and would advise all to adopt it. '
Messrs. E. Robinson & Co.
Gentlemen.—l have during the few .days I have
had your Hathaway Hot Air Stove in use become
convinced of its great'superiority bvcr'all other
etovcs-Hiave unedTiV^SEen—rfiifd bythe tfia
boiling, roasting, baking and broiling mayall be
dome at the same time, in a,most perfect manner
and with less-than 1 one fourth the fuel I.have or
dinarily.used for the same I have here
tofore been df the.opinion oread could not be well
baked in a Cook Stove, but I am convinced upon
trial that it cart be done as well in your stove as in
a brick oven. I-believe that the general introduc
tion of your stoves into use will be very beneficial
to the public, therefore 1 shall lake pleasure in re
commending it to my friends."

Upon a keg he sat,
. And stole a last fond look
‘At.tho cabin's lone; deserted hall,

And the funny strains of the Sing Song Club,
But they came not to his car I

And'high upon the gable-end
A coon-skin fluttered .bare:

The cider revels dear—
And' drew.his slcovo.across hia nose,
..And wiped away a tear.
Ho rose, and waddled in—
' Oh! do hofdccm him weak,
Decause iris nose did shame the rose.,

Go watch and Icam his grief—
As. close behind the door,
Ho tries in vain the empty cask
That blessed his love of yore!
“Is this the cask,” ho cries,
• With mouth like yawning, cltasm,

JtlcFieod’s Trial.
PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS.
. The trial of Alexander McLeod ’ for the
murder nfO.urfce commences to-day, (Mon
day,) all the witnesses and commissions on
behalf of the prisoner having arrived. ■ The
number of witnesses for llie prosecution is
about fifty. The-‘evidence for the defence
is aribstly documentary, taken under com
mission, and about half a dozen witnesses
who will be examined. The proof contairftd
in must of thege depositions can have little,
if any force, and throw~iio light 'whatever
upon the presence or absence of McLeod at
the destruction of the Caroline, or ins'par
ticipation in that outrage. Consequently,
they can be of little avail in his behalf—the

ascertain, there are but three among all the

on that occasion; and each of th£Se,a% I

iJSsn„ .Bradley,.]
After the Court, Bar, .and Jurors had
taken their seats, the public generally were
admitted to.thecxtcnt of the capacity of the
room, and in doing which a remarkable de
'gfee of regularity and order was preserved.
Judge White, briefly stated to the auditory
the necessity' bf atrictly .preserving order

The Crier then opened the Circuit Court

not answering, Mr. Hall moved.(or an at

issued. - ’ ■
The prisoner,. M’Leod, was then brought
in and placed by the side of his counsel.—
His appearance indicated a man . who had
lived well, nnd felt much at ease.
Mr. Hall then called on tlie triaLof-ftJc-
Leud, and the counsel for the prisoner ex

Mr. Hall, Attorney General, then pro
ceedcd-tu open thc-case for the prosecution.
He. comtncnced ,by expressing briefly, but
feelingly, the delicacy, of his situation and
tlie duty .which had now devolved upon him
and the jury. He next reverted to the great
excitement which pervaded.the public mind,
from one extremity of the Union to fjjie other,
in relation to the important trial upon which
they hail now entered, ami the evidence of
which was'bqfofe the eyes of the jury, in'tlie
living masses which thronged and.surround
ed the Court-house. To this excitement'!!
WaVthe duty of the jury and himself to close
their eyes, to know it not, and to eschew its
influence. 1 — :
- Their duty was plain. It was to solicit
the truth, to be governed by truth alone, arid
to keep their, minds amf their judgments
freefrotri all extraneous influences, preju
dices; or fears. Truth was his only pursuit;
arid : if, from ah'innate weakness, he fell
short of the full performance of jtis duly, he
phayed I ,the’ jury to redouble their own vigi
lance; and solicit truth through theLchannels
presented to them, in all cases in which he
might be deemed remiss. ; V
Mri Hall then read to the jury the greater
part of the indictment found against the
prisoner at the Niagara Circuit;' for the
shbotirig and killing of Amos Durfee, ori the

!' At (hat time a band of Canadian insur
gents, three or four hundred in number, had
taken pqgsession of Navy Island, and held .
it in,(he name ,of the British government.— :
A great effort was also making at the'samo '
time, to enlist‘the feelings of our own citi
zens, on this side of the lines, in behalf of
the people who had been driven there by
their hardships and sufferings; and-for their
wives and children who had been thrust from
their houses and homes in the-midst of a Si
berian winter, found no difficulty in enlist
ing among a portion of our citizens, especk ■
ally among the young,' the sympathy then .«•
deplorable situation naturally drew forth.
But with the band-on. Navy.lsland the-
Caroline hid no connection; and it would be,
made to appear before the jury that she was
not at all in-their employ.
Mr. Hall was proceeding to explain to the
jury the_.we|l_known circumstances which
-preceded, the destruction of the Caroline,
and the various circumstances attending the
same, when we were obliged to despatch oub
express, at a quarter to 1 o’clock, E." M.
Utica, Monday, Oct. 4, 1841. ,
Mr. Hall then reverted to the manner of
the origin of this case, and the well-known
history of its progress from court to court,
up to its presentation here fur the decision
of the petit jury of Oneida county. In this
recapitulation, Mr. Hall introduced the de
cision of the Supreme Court upon the mo
tion for the discharge of McLeod, argued in
New-York-last summer.—When he had pro
ceeded about half through this decision the
Court, at 1 o’clock, adjourned for an hour
to-dine. . *
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At half past 2 P. M. Mav Hall resumed
the reading of the Decision of the Supreme
Court. Upon concluding, Mr. Hall called
the attention of the case as was passed upon ■
I the ci.vil .law ,of this country, that it was not
Tsh' §6vernineifi; and fhaf'ifjs'fer "tfie B flrlliu -' -
nals of this country, and to those tribunals
alone, his murderer was responsible. .
He also vindicated the murdered Durfee -
of-having he'en an insur
gent, and in arms against Canada. ;, Durfee,
he would show was in lip way connected ■ ’
with the insurgents, and Wholly innocent of
any participation in the insurrections of that
day. ■ . - ■ .
Hhe law points, Mr. Hall continued, had
been disposed of by the Supreme Court, and
all that was left for this jury to pass upon,
was that presented in the indictment —was
the prisoner guilty or innocent of participa
' tion in the murder .of DUrfee." To'sustain
the indictment he was prepared to prove the
assertions of the prisoner that he was pres
ent at the destruction of the Caroline aind
the murder of Durfee; that he was about
Navy Island and Schlosser immediately pre"-,
ceding these events; that he was busily en
gaged enlisting people to go upon the expe
dition against the Caroline; that he was at
Schlosser inquiring at what time the Caro
line would be there; and that, after the out
rage,.he exhibited a pistol and sword stained
with blood—which blood, he boasted, was
“the blood of a damned Yankee,” or words
to that effect—together with other corrobora
ting circumstances.
Mr. Half then explained to the jury the
laws relating to murder; and if they deemed
the testimony sufficient to uring the prisoner
within the purview of that law, upon them
their oaths imposed the duty of rendering
their verdict accordingly. '
In conclusion, Mr. Hall again urged up,on
the jury, a full and unbiassed performance of
the duty devolving upon them; impressing '
upon them the importance to the prisoner
and to the country, he proceeded to call his
witnesses.
,'l'he first witness colled, was Mr. Wells,
thhowner bf~tfie-Garoline.‘-—llhtestificd-fo —
the situation of the vessel at the wharf at
Schlusser. on the night of the 9th Decembers
There was a crew of 10, and 23 other per
sons sleeping on board that night. He was
awoke between 12 and 1 o’clock, by the at
tack, the particulars of which he detailed
much'to the same effect as has been hereto
fore published. Thinks the assailants were
between 40 qntfdO in number; came in five
yawl boats, with boarding pike and fire arms.
No one on board the steamboat was armed.
The 23-persons beyond-the crew, had arri
ved too late for the cars, and the public
houses being overflowing. he provided thenv—
with lodgings to accommodate them. 1 had -
intended to run up to Black'Ruck Bend that
night, and had invited n few friends; to go
with me; and they were also on boat'd.—
'Thinks he heard about 40 or 50 shots fired
duiing the attacks After leaving, the boat,
saw the body of Durfee lying on the wharf,
killed by a shot through the breast. Seven -
others were missing, and have'not been since
heard of. ~t >v.
1 never had'any connection with any as
sociations or matters of that sort connected
with the Canadianinsurrection; my object
in running my boat-to Navy Island was my
own gain, and the accommodation of the
public-ut Buffalo,- as well as the Island; it
was an experiment 1 tpok up in good faith,
uninfluenced by Tuny other consideration
than my-own pecuniary benefit.- The boat,
the day before she was’destroycd. had'made
her trips to theJsland/and had on several
other occasions carried freight & passengers;
