Thirty 311.1nntes Old
A few weeks ago, a babe was left at the
New York Foundling- I lospital by a man,
that, at the farthest, could not have been
thirty minutes old. It was merely rolled
in a piece of cotton rag, when taken from
the basket—the gentleman had the grace to
ring the bell—it was thought to be dead,
but restoratives were quickly applied,
which produced a feeble respiration for a
moment, and while the faint animation
lingered it was baptized, and, in the hurry
and lack of a better, named John Smith,
The Christian rite was hardly over when
the quivering eyelids above the eyes that
had never opened were still, and the little
spirit fluttered up to the glory of God; the
mighty mystery of birth, life, and death
solved in a single hour.

Court Proceedings
Tuesday Afternoon.—Tho court was oc -
copied nearly all afternoon in the fornica
tion and bastardy ease of 'Alfred Bickham
and Eliza Thompson. From the testimony
in the case it appeared a terrible state of
immorality existed among the parties to
the case and the witnesses called by the de
fense. In charging the jury Judge Long
remarked that he had never had before him
a case exhibiting such a deplorable state of
morals; and suggested that instead of send
ing soldiers and missionaries to Utah to
suppress the vices of the Mormons, we had
better send them to Churchtown, where if
we may believe the parties and witnesses to
this suit, who under oaths have proclaimed
their own shame, a state of depravity must
exist worse than anything that has ever
been charged against the Mormons. The
jury after an absence of fifteen minutes re
turned a verdict of "Guilty."

at their home inSSalel l e Harlem, this county.
The testimony of the wife, who is a good
delicately formed, plainly dressed
woman of about 25, was to the elloct, that
011 the day above stated she told her hes
that the children were very ragged,
•
and that he aught to get them some clothes.
flu replied that he could not atrord to get
them any ; a hcn she answered that he gut
other things that cost noire money than

Wiicn she ventured in again, 'lie
caught her roughly by the arm, and seiz
ing his sliiielnaker's strap, NVilippo(l her
unmercifully over the bank and shoulders.
She was emirate at the time. On another
otivasitin he drove her out into the street
when she hail a baby three weeks old. Ile
hail often whipped her and otherwise abus
ed her before, but she was afraid to bring
suit as long as she lived with him, for fear
he would either kill tier or her children as
he hail frequently threatened to do. She
now lives with her father, Mr. Palmer, in
East Lampeter township. On cross-exam
illation, Mr. Davis, counsel for the lins-
Ivind, intimated that whatever bail treat -
lll4mt she had received, was the result of
her imijugal. infidelity. With unMigned
astonishment, indignation, and tears, the
witness repelled the charge and lisped that
she might he stricken-dead on the witness
stand, if she had ever been anything but a
true and virtuous wile to her husband. The
husband offered no testimony, and without
leaving the box, the jury rendered a v er

A surety of the peace ease, between the
same parties, was nest heard. Mrs. Trier
tostilletl that on the sth of February last,
her husband staid out very late at night;
that she silt up for him a lung time, but
becoming drows; ' she finally (vent to bed
and fell asleep. She soon afterwards heard
her husband coming towards the house,
and got nip and let him in. Ere brought
with !din ./1110 things that her mother had
sent her. Ile then fell to nitrating her and
her mpther and upbraided her for loving
her tenure than lion ; that she would do
everything for her methyl', trot would not
rare for him if he was hanging by the neck.
After muell more abuse he took a lamp,
went into the cellar, saying he might as
well yo to hell now as at any other time.
Ile picked up urn axe that was in the collar,
and as he lea, returning up stairs she ran
across the street, believing he intended to
kill her. 'Then, fearing lie would kill the
baby, that was in the lied, she returned to
the front Moir and remonstrated and plead
with him. Receiving no answer, she ven
tured in and saw him lying in the bed with
the baby, the :Ise lying across his breast.
Stir urged him to put it away, but he paid
no attention to her except to lay it on the
back part of the bed. !loping to pacify
sire also went to bed. Ile afterwards
lleeame reconciled to her on her promising
never to take her mother's part any more.
Ile had frequently at other times abused
beaten and threatened to kill her, and
she broughts these sults for fear that he
would put his threats in execution.
The evidence of Mrs. Trier was given in
a sad and trenmlons voice, and evident y
carried conviction of its truth to the judg
ment of all who heard it. At this point,
the Distriet Attorney stated that there were
two other indictments against the prisoner
—ono for larceny, and the other for deser
tion, and asked the Court to defer the sen
tence until these wore heard. At the
request of prisoner's counsel, the prisoner
was permitted to make a statement to the
Court. He is rather a good-looking man,
thirty odd years of ago, and spoke very
intelligently, and with as much feeling and
apparent truthfulness as his wife.
He said that it was with the profoundest
grief and shame that he stood before the
Court to make a statement of the wrongs
that he had suffered, and the disgrace that
had been brought upon him by his wife,
who had been so false to him while he had
been Co true to her. Ho had married her
about seven years ago, and for a .year or
two things had wont well enough-Aat least
he thought so. But he soon found that
other men had greater attractions for her
than he had. To wean her from her sin
ful ways, he had removed to Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, but there she pursued the satire
disgraceful course of conduct ; and finally
when he was absent from the city at his
usual work, she sold all his furniture,
pocketed the money, and ran off with an
other man. He then removed to Summit
county, Ohio, and after his wife had been
absent from him fifteen months she wrote
him a letter expressing repentance for her
conduct, asking him to receive her back
' again, and promising fidelity to him for
ever hereafter. On account of his children
and the great love he yet bore for her he
concluded to take her - back, and sent her
money to pay her way to Summit county.
She came to him all In rage, bringing with
her a child but two months old, although
she had boon fifteen months absent, They
left Ohio, and came to Sato Harbor, this

county, where she resumed her evil prac
tices, spent his earnings for liquor and to
bacco for her own use, and neglected her
family duties. On one occasion, when he
came home at night he was locked out, and
was only admitted after repeated thumping
at the door, and as he entered, a strange
man left the house through the back win
dow, leaving his pantaloons behind him.
He wanted to know whose they were,
when his wife with much obscurity
told him it was none of his business
and that she intended to do with her
own person Just as she pleased. En
raged, he struck her with the shoe-maker
strap. He was arrested, thrown into jail
and has been waiting for months for his
trial. What he has said is but a brief out
line of the sufferings and wrongs he has
endured at the hands of his wife.
Mrs. Trier listened with apparent amaze
ment to the charges made against her by
her husband, and the court, the bar and the
spectators with open mouthed amazement
to these two statements, so contradictory
and yet both delivered with such apparent
candor and truthfulness, by such honest
looking and intelligent witnesses.
The court adjourned without further ac
tion until 9 o'clock this morning.

where the key was, when one of them, who
was masked by having a handkerchief tied
over the lower part of his face, came to the
bed, took hold oilier, put a pistol to her
mouth and threatened to shoot her if she
spoke. They then ransacked the desk, and
took a watch, about $5 in change and some
other articles, throwing the paPers over the

It seemed to us that cases which cannot

taking action thereon, rather than impose
the costs upon the county, which from ne
cessity is compelled to bear heavy burdens
in the shape of costs in the ordinary course
of criminal procedure. The Grand Inquest
respectfully suggest that the able and effi
cient District Attorney, use his official au
thority to compel the attendance of prose
cutors and witnesses at the next Court, and
that those cases be disposed of as law and
justice may seem to require."
11. :MILLER, Foreman.
The Judge said that the District Attorney
inightenter nol. pros. in such cases.
The District Attorney replied that ho
could enter a 110 i. pros., but there being no
act of Assembly requiring the Commis
sioners to pay not. pros. cases, the only
proper way to dispose of them was for the
Grand Jury to ignore the bills where there
was not sufficient testimony to sustain the
charge; otherwise the costs could not be
recovered. As the Commonwealth has the
powor to compel the attendance of wit
nesses, some provision should be made for
their payment; and the only way to do so
was to have such bills ignored or to enter a
verdict of not guilty. By taking a verdict
of not guilty there are some three or four
dollars additional costs added, and therefore
he had suggested that the bills be ignored. At
every term of Court there are many wit
nesses in attendance who have barely
enough money to bring them to town and
take them home again, much less to pay
their expenses while in town. So far as
his own costs were concerned he cared
nothing about them ; but as the Commis
sioners by his own direction, had refused
to pay any costa iu nod. pros. cases, some
provision must be made to pay the wit
nesses for their attendance, and be thought
the course he had adopted was the only
proper one, lehldlopo but in eerergeefhtotieiarties what the
law allowed, and what he deemed right
and proper.
After further argument! the District At •
torney and further verbal - statemep by
some of the Grand Jurors, the indi eats
were by the direction of the Court ended
back to the District Attorney.
About half past 5 o'clock court adjourned.
Saturday Morning.—Jacob Trier, con
victed some days ago of assault and bat
tery on his wife, was brought into Court
and sentenced to three months imprison
ment. In the surety of the peace case
against the same defendant, by his wife, he
was ordered, to find bail in the sum of 1300
to keep the peace for three months.
Oscar Towle, sentenced a year or two
ago, for cutting loose some lumber on the
river at Columbia, was brought into Court,
and produced a pardon from the Governor,
whereupon he was liberated
The Grand Jury entered the Court Room
and presented the following report:
To the Honorable, th, Juaget of the (buy-if/Quar
t, Sessions in and for the Chunty 4/Lancaster:
The Grand Inquest inquiring in and tor
the County of Lancaster, for April term,
1871), would respectfully report:
That they have passed upon all bills
which were properly submitted to them for
their consideration. That they visited the
Children's Home, Hoipital, Alms House
and County Prison, and found them all in
good order and condition. The inmates
were clean and tidy ; the rooms, beds,
lathing, evinced care and judi
cious superintendence; and all connected
therewith mot with our warm approval,
and the ladies and gentlemen in charge
thereof are worthy of their positions.
The Grand Jury express their unquali
fied disapprobation of the returns nude by
many of the magistrate: , of the county, in
presenting trilling cases that should never
trouble our Courts; thereby adding costs
and expenses, unnecessarily, to tile tax
payers of the County.
The Grand Jury beg leave to return their
11a to the honorable Court; the gen
tlemanly and efficient Sheriff, Mr. Myers;
and Mr. Brubaker, our efficient District
Attorney, for courtesies reeeived.
All of which is respectfully sulimitted.

The ease of the Commonwealth vs. II hues
and le Barron was therewesuined, it. W.
Shenk, Esq., addressing the jury in behalf
of the Commonwealth. He was followed
by S. H. Price, Esq., for defendants.
Saltintity ApernoOn. —Court met at 2
o'clock. The consideration of the burglary
rave was resumed by J. W. F. Sul ft, coun
sel fur Mines, occupying nearly an hour
in addressing the jury in behalf of the de
fendants. lle was followed by F. S. Pyfer,
Esq., counsel for I.e Barron, who spoke
for Inure than an hour. S. it. Reynolds,
Esq., concluded the argument in behalf of
the COMmanwealth in an a tdress of an
hour and forty minutes. Judge Long oc
cupied twenty minutes in charging the
jury, recapitulating the main points of the
evidence, and urging them to lay aside all
prejudice either tor or against the prisoner,
and to render a verdict in strict accordance
with the evidence. They were instructed
not to separate until they had agreed upon
a verdict, when the janitor would have the
Court bell rung and the Court would as
semble to receive the verdict.
The jury retired at a o'clock and the
Court arose.
. .
urday Evening. —The Court Room
was open in the evening, and tilled with
a large and eager crowd; the Judges were
on the bench, apparently not having wait
ed for the ringing of the bell to re-assemble;
but the jury not having agreed upon a
verdict by le o'clock, the Court adjourned,
alter giving directions that they should
return a sealed verdict to the Court, which
would convene to receive it at 9 o'clock
in the morning.
Sunday, ii o'clock, A. IL —The Court
Boom was crowded by an eager throng
who had been impatiently " waiting Mr the
verdict." The jury brought it into Court,
sealed, shortly after It declared both
Himes and Le Barron guilty of burglary,
in manner and form as they stand indict
ed, lint recommended' Le Barron to the
mercy of the Court.
Mr. Price moved an arrest of judgment
Gt Mlow counsel for defendants time to tile
reasons to slit oNV tattoo why a trial
should not be granted.
On motion of Mr. Shenk, no further
action was taken Tii the matter for the pres
ent and Court adjourned until Monday
morning at It) o'clock, at which time the
application for a new trial will be heard.
The conviction of Le Barron was generally
regarded as having been rendered upon
very tiiinsey eircumstantiat evidence.—
ti toes maintained the same calm, immov
able expression of countenance that has
marked him during the trial, though his
dress was not so tidily arranged as usual.
i.e Barron looked greatly east dew ti.—
Ile evidently expected the able and in
genious arguments of his counsel, if not
his own iuuuceuce, to have produced a dif
ferent result.
After the rendition of the verdict the
Court adjourned.
Monday Morning.—Court metat lOo'clock
in the Orphans' Court Ittatin, all the Judges
on the bench. II lutes, Le Barron, and
Cosgrove were brought up handcuffed, in
to Court, by the Deputy Sheriff. The room
Was densely packed with spectators, all
standing Lip-toe on the floor, the benches
:tint the window sills.
S. 11. Price, lisq., counsel Gtr Mines,
asked that judgment Lt the Cfloe. of Minces
and Le Barron might be deferred, in cinder
to I give counsel time to file reasons to show
cause why a new trial should not he grant
ed.
.ledge Long remarked that application
for that purpose had hero asked for and
granted yesterday, and he understood the
case was to be argued this morning.
Mr. Price said that four clays were usu
ally granted in . the Court and 149 yesterday
was Sunday, le supposed the tour clays
time would comments! this morning.
\1 r. Reynolds, fur Commonwealth, de
manded that the reasons for a new trial is
tiled now and the case argued at once.
Pyfer, counsel for Le. Marron, Said
such a course would be unprecedented in
the practice of this Court. In the must
trival cases, involving nu Inure than five
dollars, the Court had always allowed four
days time in which to tile reasons for a new
trial ; anti in an important ca.se like this,
involving as it does, the liberty of
the prisoners, no less time, certain
ly, should be granted; particularly as
no possible injury could result to the
Commonwealth from the delay, while
much injustiee might be done the prisoners
by insisting on an immediate argument,
when their counsel were engaged in a
number of suits in the Common Pleas,
which would come on to-day and to-mor
row.
The Courtgranted counsel until Wednes
day morning, when, if any substantial rea
sons could be offered for further delay,
more time might be allowed them.
The prisoners then left the court rosin,
in custody of the Sheriff, and re-escorted to
prison.
Judge I layes wanted to know why the
court - was compelled to meet this morning
in the Orphans' Court Room, and called ha*
the janitor to make explanations. Thejan
itur being out of town, the Judge told the
crier to have the County Commissioners
summoned to explain the matter.
Lesse Landis, Esq., Solicitor to the Com
missioners, explained that the main Court
Rnuw sells tieing cleaned, preparatory to
having it frescoed.
Judge Long remarked that au his arrival
at the Court House. he found it impossible
to get into the Orphans' Court Room on ac
count of the crowd ; and suggested that the
repair of the main room should be deferred
until next week, or to such time as suited
the can Of the Court.

NEGRO JrBILEE.—The negroes had 8
fine day for the celebration of the mattes
iion-of the Fifteenth Amendment, but the
affair was very spiritless up to the time we
go to press. Flags were displayed from the
Court House, the Post Office, the District
Attorney's Office, and from the Express,
Inquirer, Examiner and Father _1 brehant
newspaper offices.
The ceremonies commenced in the Afri
can Methodist Episcopal Church, Straw
berry street, by the singing of hymns, fol
lowed by prayer by the Rev. Dr. Potts,
(white.) Rev. Mr. Cuff, (negro) then de
livered an address from the Ist and 2d
verses of the 15th chapter of Exodus,
descriptive of the liberation of the children
of Israel. Ho was followed in an address
by Prof. J. P. Wickersham, (white) who
had been unceremoniously cut out of the
programmeby the Dickeydes,but vrlio stole
a march on his opponents by entering the
San hed rim while they were preparing their
speeches to be delivered on the commons.
The morning services closed by the singing
of the Doxology and the benediction.
A procession was then formed in the fol
lowing order, being composed entirely- of
negroes :
Chief Marshal—Abraham Maxwell.
Assistant—George
Aids—James Howard, Daniel Clark, Ed
ward Mellon, Wm. Jones.
Lancaster delegation, numbering 65 men
and boys, with banners inscribed, " We
appreciate the rights which have been
granted," " We hail the Fifteenth Amend
ment," "We are Free," "In tits' we
Trust."
Eden Relegation.—. Joseph Wells, Mar
shal, numbering 33 men and boys, pre
ceded by the Stevens Drum Corps of Lau
ea ster They bore a banner inscribed "Wo
reverence the name of Lincoln and bless
(hid who has made us free."
This delegation was followed by open
wagon containing twenty odd little negro
girls, probably to represent the States that
have adopted the Fifteenth Amendment.
A number of wagons and,carriages con
taining distinguished and aged negroes
brought up the rear of the procession,
which nutrehed through several of the
principal streets, and then to the commons
adjoining the Locomotive. Works, where
speeches will be made this afternoon by
