AN INTERESTING SKETCH, A little more than fifty years ago, a lean by the name of Henry Thompson, called at the house of Mr. J. Smith, a resident in a retired part of Eng land, and requested a night's lodging. This, re quest was granted, and the stranger, having tak en some refreshments, retired early to bed, request ing that he might be awakened at an early hour the following Morning. When the servant appointed hvall him entered the room for that purpose, he was found in his bad perfectly dead. On examining his body marks of viiJneo ap peared, but his countenance looked extremely natural. The story of his death soon spread among the neighbors, and enquiries were made as to who he was and by what means be came to his death. Nothing certain, however, was known. nu had arrived on horseback, and was seen passing thro' a neighboring village about au hour before ho reached the house where he had come to his eud. And than, as to the manner of his death, so little could be discovered that the jury returned a ver dict that he "died by a visitation from Gail"— When this was done, the stranger was-buried. Days and weeks passed on, and little further was known, the public mind, however, was not at rest. Suspicion existed that foul means had has tened the stranger's death. Whispers to that ef fect were expressed, and in the hearts of many, Smith was considered the guilty man. The former character of Smith bad not been geed. He had lived-a loose and irregular life, involved himself in debt by his extravagance; and at length, being-suspected of having obtain ed money wrongfully, he suddenly fled from thO town. More than ten years, however, had now elapsed since his return, during which he had lived at his present residence, apparently in good circumstan ces, and with an approved character. His former life, however, was now remembered, and suspi cion was fastened upon him. At the expiration of two months, a gentleman one day stopped in the place for the purpose of making inquiries respecting the -stranger who bed been found dead in his bed. He supposed him self to be the brother of the man. The horse and clothes of the unfortunate man still remained, and were known immediately as having belonged to his brother. The body also, was taken up i and though considerably changed, bore a strong re semblance to him. - He now felt authorized to ascertain, if possible, the manner of his death.. He proceeded: there fore, to investigate the eirchmshmees as well as he was able. At length he made known to ,the magistrate of the district, the information he had collected, and upon the strength of this, Smith was taken to jail to be tried for the willful murdor of Henry Thompson. The celebrated Lord Mansfield was then on the bench. Ile charged the grand jury , to be cautious as to finding abill against the prisoner. The ev idence of his guilt, if guilty, might be small.— More information might be obtained, should be be acquitted he could not be molested again, whatever testimony should rise up against him. The grand jury, however, did find a bill, but by a majority of only one. At length the time of trial arrived. Smith was brought into court and placed at the bar. A great crowd thronged the room, eager and anxious to see the prisoner, and to hear the trial. lie him self appeared firm and collected. Nothing in his manner or appearance indicated guilt; and, when the question was put to him by the clerk, "Aro you guilty, or not guilty 1" be answered with an unfaltering tongue, and with a countenance per fectly unchanged, "not guilty." The counsel for the prosecution now Opened the case. But it was apparent that he had little ex pectation of proving the prisoner guilty. lie stated to the jury that the case was in groat mys tery. The prisoner was a man of respectability and property. The deceased was supposed to have had about him gold and jewels to a largo amount; but the prisoner was not so much in want of funds as to be under a strong temptation to commit murder. And beeides, if the prisoner had obtained the property be had effectually, con : eeatedsit.• Not a tratmalleatuld be found. Why, then, was the 'prisoner suspected? The deceased, Henry Thompson, was a jeweler,. resid ing in London, and a man- of wealth. Ho had left London for the purpose of Meeting a trader at Bull, of whom he' expected hi make a largo pur chase. The trader hs did meet and after the de parture of the latter, Mr. Thompson was known to have in his possession : jewels and, gold to a large amount. With these in his possession,- Whiff, Hull on his . return to London. It was not known that he stopped until he reached Smith's and the neat morning was discolored dead in his bed. lie died, then, in Smith's house, and if it could be shown that he•came to his death in an unnatural way, it would increase the suspicion that the prisoner was in" someway commuted with the murder. Now, then, continued the (*andel, It will be preyed beyond the possibility of *doubt that the deceased died by poison. What was that puisonf It was a recent discovery of some German chem ists, said to be produecd from distilling the seed of the wild cherry tree. It'was a poison more powerful than any other known, and deprived of life so immediately as to leave no mark of suffer= lug no contortion of the features. ' But then, the question, when and by whom was it administered? One circumstance, a small one indeed, and yet upon it might hang &horrid tale, was, that the stonier of a small bottle of very singular description had been found in the pris oner's house. Thei stopper had been examined, and said by medical •men to have belonged to a German vial, containing the kind of 'poison he had describe& -Ant, then, was that poison ad ministered by'Sniith; hiainstigation ? who were the priSoner's family? It consisted only of himself, a housekeeper and one man servant.— The mati servant 'slept in an outhouse adjoining the stable, and did so on the night of Thompson's death. The prisoner slept in ono end of the house, the housekeeper at the other, and the deceased had been put in a room adjoining the house ...keeper's. It could be proved, that about three hours after midnight, on the night of Thompson's death, a light had been Seen moving about the house, and that a figure holding the light was seen to go from the room in -which the prisoner slept to the housekeeper's room; the light now 'disappeared for a minute, when two persons were seen, but whether they went into Thompson's room, the witness could not swear; but shortly after they were observed to pass quite through the entry of Smith's room, and which they entered, and in about five minutes the light was extinguished. The witness would further state, that after the person had returned with the light into Smith's room, and before it was extinguished, he had twice perceived some ark object to intervene be tween the light and the window, almost as large as the surface of the window itself; and which he described by saying it appeared as if a door had been placed before the light. Now, in Smith's room there was nothing that could account for this appearance, and there was neither cupboard nor press in the room, which, but for tfiebed, was entirely empty; the room in which he dressed, being a distance beyond it. The counsel for the"prosecution here concluded" what ho had to say. ',During his address, Smith in no wise appeared to be agitated or distressed— and equally unmoved while the witness testified in substance what the opening speech`of the coun sel led the court and jury to expect. Lord Mansfield - now addressed the jury. Re said that in his opinion the evidence was not suf- r ficient to condemn the prisoner; and if the jury agreed with him in opinion he would discharge him. Without leaving their seats, the jury agreed that the evidence was'not sufficient- Ea At this moment, when they were about to ren der a verdiot of acquittal, the prisoner rose, and addrEssed the Court. - He said he had been accus ed of a foul crime, and the jury lied there was not sufficient evidence against him. Was het° go out of court with suspicious resting upon him, af ter all ? This he was unwilling to do. Re was an innocent mem anti if the judge would grant hint an opportunity, he would prove it. He would call the housekeeper, who would confirm a statement which he would now make. The housekeeper had not appe:tred iu court:— She had concealed herself or been concealed by Smith. This.was considered a dark sign against him, but he himself now offered to bring her for ward, and stated as a reason, not that he was not willing that she could testify, but, knowing the excitement, he was fearful that she would be-brib ed to give testimony contrary to fact. But ho was now ready to relate an the circumstances he know; She might be culled and examined. If her testi mony does not confirm my story, let me be con demned. The requestof the prisoner appeared reasonable and Lord Mansfield, contrary to his usual. prac tice, granted it. The prisoner went on with his statement. Be said ho wished to go out of court, relieved from the suspicions which were"resting upon him. As to the poison, by means of which the stranger was said to have died, he knew neither the name of it, nor even the existence'of it, until made known by the counsel. Me could rail God to wiles,* the truth of what he said. . And then, as to Mr. Thompson', hi was a perfect stranger to him. How would he know what ar ticles of value he had? He did not know. If he had itieh articles at Hull, he might haio lift them on the road, or which was more probable, have otherwit=e,disposed thVit. And if" ho died by moans of the fataldrug, he must have admiaister e;l, it himself. .11e 'begged thejury to remember that his prom ides" bad been 'repeatedly and minutely searched, and not the innst trifling article that belongcd to the deceased had been discovered in his posses ion. The stopper of a vial had been found—but of this he could. only say, he bad no knowledge, and bad not seen it before it was produced in court: • One feet had been proved; and only one. That he would explain, and his housekeeper would con firm his statement. A witness bad testified that some, one had gone to the bedroom of his housekee per on the night in question. lie was ready to admit that it was himself, Ile had been subject for much of his life to sudden fits of illness; ho had been seized with one on that oeasion, and had gone to procure her assistance in lighting a fire. She had returned with him to his room for that purpose, he had waited for a few minutes in the passage, whilesheput on her clothes. This would account for the momentary disappearance of the light. After remaining a few minutes In this room and finding" himself better, he had dismissed her and returning to bed, from which be had not ris en when ho was informed of the death of his guest. Such was the prisoner's address, which produc ed a powerful , effect. It was delivered in 'a firm, and idipressive manner, and from the simple and artless manner of the man, perhaps not ono pre sent doubted his, entire innocence, The housekeeper was now introduced and &am ined-by tho'cOunsel of the prisoner. Sho had not heard any part.of the statement of Smith r nor single word of the trial. Iler story confirmed all he had said. To this succeeded cross-examination by the' counsel for the ' proshentiOn. One circumstance had made a deep impression his mind—that was that while the prisoner and the housekeeper were in the room of the former something like a door had obstructed the light of the candle, so that the witness testified to the Tact, but could not see it. What was this. obstruCtion ?. There was .no door—nothing in the room. 7 —whiet contd . , account for this.; But the witness was positive that 'genie.: thing like a 'door did'er a moment beam" hetween the window and the candle ibis ntoided nation. the housekeeper was the person that could givo it. Designing to probe this matter in , the end to tho bottom; but not wishing to excite her slam, he began by asking her a few unim portant questions, and among , others, where the candle stood when she was in Mr. Smith's room? "In the centre of the reom,'''she replied. "Well, was the closet, or cupboard, or whatever you call it, ope . ned ones or twice while it stood there ?" She made aq "I will helryour reeollection," said the counsel "atter Mr. Smith had , taken.the medicine-out of the closet, did - he shut-the door, or did itremain open?", "Ile shut IL" "And when he replaced the bottle in the closet, he opened it again, did.he "Ile did." "And how, long wan it open the bat dual" "About a minute." • "Well, and when open would the door be ex actly between the light and the window ?" "It woild."

"I never opened it myself." "Did you.ever keep the-key?" "Never." "Who did ?" • "Mr. Smith, always." And that moment the housekeeper chanced to east her eyes toward Mr. Smith, the prisoner. A cell, damp sweat stood upon his brow, and his face had lost all' its color; ho appeared a living image of death. She no sooner saw him than she shrieked and fainted. The consequence of her answers flashed across her mind. She had been so thoroughly deceived by the manner of the advocate; and the little importance he had seemed to attach to her statements, that she bad been led on, by one question to another, till she had told him all he wanted .to know. She was obliged to be taken from the court, and a physician who was present was requested to attend her. At this time the solicitor for the prosecution (answering to our state's attorney) left the court, but no one knew for what purnose. Presently the physician came into court; and stated that it would be impossible for the house keeper to resume her seat in the box short of an hour or two. It was almost twelve in the day. Lord Mans field, having directed that the jury be accommo dated with a room, where they could be kept by themselves, adjourned the court two hours. The prisoner, in the meantime, wairemanded to jail. It was between four and five o'clock, when the judge resumed his seat upon, the bench. The prisoner was' again placed at the bar, and the housekeeper brought in and led to the box. The court room was crowded to excess, and an awful silence pervaded the place. The eross-examining eoun set again addressed the housekeeper. "I have but a few more questions to ask you," said he, "take heed how sun answer, for your life hangs upon a thread." '' ,l "Do you know this stopper?" "I do." "To whom does - it belong ?" "To Mr. Smith."' "When did you last see it ? At that moment the solicitor entered the court, bringing with him upon a tray, a watch, two money bags, a jewel ease, and a bottle of the same manUfacture of the stopper, and having a cork in it. The tray was placed on the table in sight of the prisoner and the witness, and from that Moment no doubt remained in the mind of any man present of the guilt of the prisoner. A few words will bring this melancholy tale to its close. The house where the murder had been committed was ',etymon nine and ten miles dis tant. The solicitor, as - soon as the.cross examina tion of the housekeeper had discovered the exis tence of the closet, and its situation, had set off on horseback, with two-sheriff's officers, and after pulling down part of the wall, had detected this important concealment. The search eras well re warded. The whole of the property belonging to Mr. Thompson was found there, antounting in vale, to some thousand pound.; and to leave no room. for. doubt,- a bottle was discovered which the medical men instantly pronounced to contain the very identical.poison which sensed the death of the unfortunate Thompson. The remit was too. obvious to need explanation. Tt scarcely need be added 'that 'Smith was con victed and executed, and brought to his eyeful punishment by his own means. Mahe said noth ing—had be not persisted in calling a witness to prove his innocence, be might have escaped. But God tad evidently left him to work out his own ruin, as a just reward of his awful crime. ioctilantouis. NO FAVORS FOR THE POOR. Once poor, friend, still poor pou must reread% The rich alone have all the means of gain. No complaint has been more frequently repeat ed in all'ages than that of the neglect of mentos sociated with poverty 'and the' difficulty with which valuable or pleasing qualities force them selves into view, when they are obscured by indi gence. It has been long observed,that native beau ty has little power to charm without the ornaments which fortune bestows, and that to want the favor of others is often sufficient to hinder us 'from ob taining it. Every day discovers that mankind are not yet convinced of their error, or that their conviction is without'power to influence their conduct; for poverty still continues to produce contempt, : and still obstructs the claims of kindred and of virtue. The eye of wealth is elevated towards higher sta; Lions, and seldom descends to examine the actions of those who are placed below the level of its no-' tice, and who in distant regions and lower sites', Lions aro struggling with' disuses; or toiling' 'for bread.

WHOLE NO. 435. A REMARKABLE CASE. • A correstiondent of the Albany Evening . Jour nal gives - the particulars of a visit to Mrs. Hays of Herieion, Warren county, N. Y., who is known in that regien'asTothe woman that lives without eating." The woman, it appears, is in a dierhod condition, and' subjeot to alumet'continuous spasms of 'groat violence, and from the aeseription given, of the most heart.rending character to wit ness. The writer says: "She has had long-continued . spella raising hefbodya#,lthen throwing herself back so as to strike the tcip4f her head 4i:in-:the bed—thus bringing her feet and face so near together as to forma semi-cliele i with her body. SoMetimes her head has been' rawn back so that the lino of her face would lie x 'reversed, and would rest upon the Then she would straighten out again, an d there would be the most forcible . agitation of her whole frame—rt violent quiver—a rapid spasmodic action of every-nerve and muscle, with strangling and muirdzistrfor breath, like a person in the last agonies - of d ith. This 'strangling and gasping is In ctioaSeqiiiiiice , ofsusierided respiration dur- Inethel her head is so forcibly drawn back. • . At one Limo she r e mained in that position twenty minutes twelve minutes were the longest while I was with her. I applied a looking-gimps to her face as a test, but could see no evidence of her breathing. She does not now usually remain in those peculiar spasms longer than from three to five minutes. During a space of three weeks, they estimated that she went through with those mo tions at least once a minute on au average. The statement they gave me would make much more than that. One day, on which they kept some count, there were not less than three thousand five hundred of these spasms. "The least particle of food taken into the room will produce violent heaving twit retching. .1 sim ply handled bread, and then - went near the bed, and it produced heavingwhich was alarming. I sprinkled an impalpable and almost imperceptible powder of meeker/4m Incas upon her tongue, and it produced violent heaving, which lasted over an hour." The writer says he has convincing proof that this woman has neither eaten nor drank from about the 20th-of February to September Mk, when ho saw her; and she has not eaten more than a healthy person would eat at a single meal since the - 2Sth' of June, 1855. A gentleman living near the town of Rock inghiun,.Va., has lost five head of young cattle and two line milk cows, within the last few days, by permitting them to run in the same field where ho was feeding his'hogs. The hogs ate the stalks of corn, and left them on the ground after chewing. These were taken up by the cattle, eaten, swallow ed, and not being digestible, produced an itching all over. They at once - Commenced rubbing their heads, when their throate swelled, and in a short time death ensued. tsg..

Salt is added to bitter for reasons—ono is to assist in its preservation, the dairy-woman vainly thinking that salt will, keep the butter sweet. Another set add salt with dis honest motives, with the idea that all the salt put in the butter is sold at the full price the butter brings. It is a great mistake. , Every , pound of salt put in butter over what is required to give it a flavor, instead of bringing a cash, return to the butter maker, proves a positive loss of several rents a pound, because it reduces the value of ev ery.pound of butter so over salted, frequently as much se three cents a pound. Butter is not pm. served by salt. That is positive. It will keep just as sweet as Olive oil, without salt, if no other substance Is incorporated with it. It is the case in milk that spoils the butter, and union free from that, no art can keep it sweet. Butter should be chulmed at 65°, and immedi ately afterwards minced to 40 0 , and the less it is touched by, human hands the better. It must be worked cool, either with cr without washing, as that . iita mooted question, until absolutely free from butter-milk or particles of sour curd, and then just enough and not more salt added to suit the taste of the consumer. The salt must be pure, and one ounce to ten lbs., of butter wilt be suffi cient. Then pack the butter solidly in any cask of sweet wood or stone pot, so as the air is ex= eluded the butter:will remain sweet. If it could be .:kept perfectly, excluded, thelkperiod that it would keep sweet forever. Your question is an. swered. Salt will not preserve butter. 1 . ...414)0e ),'YOO,'S:titviti:44ll4ca4l(ti:l As accurate and carefully conduded experinients in fattening pork are rare, and as the subject is often discussed among farmers, as to the "profit or loss," of fattening, without coming to any de finite conclusion, I am prompted to relate a few foots which came to ray observation during the past year, with a view of influencing others to try similar experiments,' and communicate the result for the benefit of their brother farmers !
