WII4H CHURCH.
"Will the trial of Jim Nutt toki
place iu tho new Court House?" uskcil
a l'unt reporter of Courtly Coutuiia
*i'iner Mercer yesterday.
" I'lio new Ciurt House is in the dim
future," niiHewt-red Mr. Mercer.
"I mean the Welsh church around
the corner."
" 1 fiat is a matter for the Court and
District Attorney to decide."
"But il has beeu intimated that the
elm roll may prove too weak to safely
h ild so great a crowd as will surely
uttcud this trial."
" 1 hat is u mistake. Tho County
' E igitieer lias examined the building
tod he says it will with safely hold J
just us many people tut can get into it :
L is sup|H>rted Jby irou colums iu th.-
centre, and pillars underneath. lib
strong and aubstaiitial,and if thetrini I
i< held there no oue need have any j
fears of that kind."
Up stairs iu the Criminal Court '
r Hint Judge White stood chatting with :
t ie District Attorney that is and the
I) strict Attorney that is to be. When ]
Mr. ILihh WAS nkcd where it is to IK.- j
held ho said it was a question for Mr. 1
I orter, and Mr. Porter in turn said it
r-sud with His llininr, Judge While. '
I lie Judge said it would re*t with
Judge Bailey, 'lt is uot unlikely," j
• uuinued His Honor, "ihal Judge
, Bailev may prefer the church on ac j
•I.uut of better ventilation. Unsafe ? 1
, 1 *h, tliat is nonsense! But if the ,
church will hold the largest crowd
1 then I am iu favor of the place where
we will l> annoyed by the fewest 1
number of people."
, "By the way, Mr. Porter," said
i Judge \V liite, adilreksing himself in- j
J formally to the District Attorney- j
t elect, "I was examining the law in re
gard to this change of venue, and was
. at first under the impreasiou that we
would have to certify this case back
' Pi Fayette county, but I find wc must !
go on and treat it just as if it belonged
to our own county."
"I believe so, your Honor," re
plied Mr. Porter, "but I understand
ihe District Attorney of Fayette
county intends to conduct the prose" j
••itinii, tud I would prefer that be .
should,"
f crtainly; it would only be proper
courtesy that they should have charge
if the case. That still be easily ar
ranged. But fherc is another point. '
I dont know of auy law that tells us
uow to act in case of conviction. I
Mind, I say, in case there is a convic- i
•on. Mhall I sentence the prisoner, j
tnd if I do, shall sentence him to |
oc executed in !■ uyetie county by the '
h ayetfe county Sheriff, fir by our own j
"heriff and in Allegheny county ? '
fiu Bf>e there is no law exactly bear- :
"g on that point. I wanted ro save j
Cluley a little if I could, hut I sup 1
oose we would act just a* in civil mat- '
ters, and il he should be convicted
would have to sentence him to be ex
ecuted iu Allegheny county by our
own Sheriff. Of course the expense
would belong to Fayette- If the case
should lie taken up, our own courts
would *have to deal with the qum
lion."
By this time his honor had reached (
f<r his hat, and he and the reporter
indulged in an informal talk about
this caac as they walked to
gether towards the post office. Said
tie Judge: "I ibiuk there will be
anrac difficulty in securing a jury to
try that young man. Moat people
have an opinion in cases of this kind.
Now, with me, it makes no
what my opinion ia, it never has auy
bias in my reaching a conclusion.
!■ irst, I want the law and the evidence,
an I then—shake my opinion ? Well,
■hake the Cathedral over there," and
the Judge amiled blandly.
"Do you think Null is guilty f
"He seems to be legally guilty, un
less they can show be is or was legalyl
insane."
"Do you think he will be convict

"Ah, that is another question. Ju
ries in these sort of cases want to deal
with mercy too mnch."
"Is it the duty of the Court to con

be shown."
"Well, some tint us I think that

Heroism of an Irish Girl at tho

Dublin, January 3.— The Weekly AVin
liabilities a letter from A. M. Sullivan,
■ne ol Patrick O Donnell'* counsel, en*
• illed, "Susan Gallagher, the Irish
leanuie Deans, an episode of the o'Dun
ned trial." Sullivnn describes the coi •
'ii-ction of Su*an Gallagher with the
aiding of Carey, and argues that the
nets redound to the credit of tho Irish
■easantry, In this case, he says, s
■ ingle Donegal girl outrivaled the
vt i ilothi in heroine in her anguish.
•xcriAce, devotion and truth. Hussed'r
easterly utid irresistible argument
proved a hundred circumstances and
considerations in favor of Carey having
handled the gii-tol during the tragedy.
Years ag > O'Donned separated from

consented, under the appearance of hi

•♦here they intended to marry. When,
lier her return so Eugltnd,she w
interviewed by Piyor and Sullivan,

question, suffered inleu-e mental ai.*
guish and trembled like ari aspen leaf.
Solihingly she replied, "My hack n>.

I only turned round before. Oh, sir, I

Sullivan adds: "Who could contra-
I diet her it she testified she beheld Carey
with a pistol in his band? Or what
' could be easier than for her to declare

STixasrii.lt, Pa. January 3.—The
section of country lying along the Blue
mountain, in the northern portion of
Berks and Lehigh counties, has been
excited by theelopement of Ot J. Smith,
lf> year* old, with Amanda Klaae, 13
year* old. They resided oa adjoining
farms between this place and Jackson
ville. The children had been ront|>an
ions for years, and latterly had been
much in each other's company, going to
and Sunday school and returning to
gether; Smith is a rather handsome
youth, with red checks and bright eyes,
and without a sign of hair upon hi*
smooth, fair faoe. The girl is aa pretty
as a picture and unusually well develop
ed for her age. Owing to their extreme
youth, the parents of Amanda lately
objected to the attention which was
being paid to her by young Smith, and
at laat, tired of parental restraint, the
couple quietly laid their plana and
oloped. They were last seen in thia
village, and soon after they were miaeod.
Tho country was scoured in smirch of
them but all in vain, and no further
trace of them could be found. Yester
day they returned, after having been
absent since Monday morning, and
produced a marriage certificate. The
parents of the child bride were much
agitated by tho discovert, hut aa
Smith's parents are wealthy, and aa he
is an only- aon, they bate been recon

Domery, called "the Voracious Pole.'
-xoited great wondeve in bis dsy. H
-nlisted in the French service, and •-
captured by the English in 17'J'J, anu
mmured in Liverpool prison.
When in camp, if bread or meat wer<
•caice, he made up the deficiency b
-sting four or five pounds ol grass dsili.
In one year he bad devoured and rku,
<ied 171 cats, dead and alive. When
very hungry he did not wsit to kill them
•efore eating. He also ate dugs anu
rats, and even their entrails, if food wa>
scarce. When the ship surrendered on
ahicb bo was on bosrd, finding nothing
meat hut a man's leg thsi had been
shot off, be began to eat it, when a
-silor RUtttbed it from him and threw it
iverboard.
In the Liverpool prison, although
luuhle rations were allowed him, bed- ■
routed everything he oou d get Iroui
the other prisoners, and would even !
swallow their medicines. He daily ate
i raw bullock's liver, three pounds o! '
candles and several pounds of raw beef, I
•nd all that they would give him of beer
•ir water. His stomsch revolted at '
nothing arid retained everything.
I he docters, wishing to try how much
•ie could eat in one dsy, tested him. At
I in the morning he broke his fast by
eating four pounds of cow's udder, raw.
During the day, which was hot and bi>
• ppitite poor, he coniumed, in all, cow's
udder, four (•ouuils; raw meat, ten
pounds; candles, two pounds, and five
'•ottles of porter. He strained hit ap- j
pitite on this lest occasion, because otb
er prisoners frightened him by telling :
him the docters were going to experi
ment on him.
The greatest eater that erer lived ex '
•sled in the days of old Parr, in the be- j
gining of 1600. His name w*i Xn hola*
Wood, of the county of Kent. One ol
ibe writera of the time says :
"He di Jest with ease a whole he?p, !
| and that raw, at one meal, at another
time thirty dozens of pig-ons.
"At Sir William Hedley's banquet be
did eat as much as would suffice for
ittirty men. At Lord Walton's at one
meal, he did eat four score and four :
rabbits.
On <ne occasion he devoured '
eighteen yards of black pudding. He
made an end of a whole pig at once '
and after it three peck of damaons. At
another time be ate six peony loaves j
the six penny veal piea, one pound of!
. butter, one good big dish of tbornback
sod a peck leaf, id the space of an
h<>ur.
Peter, the wild boy, was found in 177."*
in a forest near Hanover, walking on
his bands and feet, climbing like a
•quirrwl nude, and feeding on graas and |
mow.
With difficulty be was caught and i
taken to Eel I. Hanover. He was un J
dvubtedly a human being, and was sup {
posod to be about thirteen years of age
but cculd not speak, consequently r*> ;
information could be obtained from htm
oa to bow be came to be living amoug 1
the wild beasts.
After several timet escaping to the
woods, Peter, ss they named him, vs<
taken to Englahd and exhibited. He
had hardly any idea, could scarcely be
induced to wear any clatbes, and would
not steep in a bed, but slept crousbed
in a corner, which led to the supposition
that be had always slept in a tree fur ir
curity against wild be as Is. He could
never be taught I o coverse though he
would get out a few words.
George I. gave him a pension and
placed him with a farmer to live. Peter
was a giant for strength, though hi„
height was only foe feet. He acquired
many oivilixed habits, such as an over
weaning fondness tor liquor. He wat o|
a gentle disposition, notwithstanding
the savagery of hia life, but could ncvei
be induced to notice the fair sex. H.
died at the supposed age of 71 Ilow ,
human being came thus deserted in the
woods has ever remained a mystery.
