THE MURDER OF DR. PARKMAN
Borrrom, Marsh 19•---10 A. M.
The prisoner, Dr. Jona W. Waimea was
brought in at„Ptveisely9 o'clock A. M.
Ile w ho wore a composed and somewhat Melan
choly a ppearance, but in other respects was much
as usual. _
A few moments after, Chief Justice Shaw took
h i, sent on the bench, accompanied by Assistant
Justices Wilder and Metcalf Sometime was oc
cupied in calling the roll and excusing jurors.
The small gallery was densely crowded with
s pectators, but other parts of the court room, were
not crowded, spectators having been admitted by
tic k e ts. Tile gentlemen of the Bat were present
in full force. To prevent a crowd the Sherif had
taken the precautiop to barricade the corridors and
station officers at the outside doors.
The Council for the Government is J. A Clifford,
I. q . Attomey-General, assisted by George Bennis,
for the defence, Hon. Pliny Merrick and
E. D. Sobrier.
Fourteen Jurymen having been examined, there
remained forty two present.
At t 2 minutes to 10 o'clock Mr. Clifford moved
the Omit to proceed to empannel a Jury in the case.
Al ter (out/ en peremptory challenges °flagmen
1w t he prisoner, ten of whom were set aside by.the
Court. Mr having (towed an opinion in the case, or
for entertiiiiing such opinions on capital punish
ment as to fo rbid , conviction, a Jury was ernpan-
• pellet!.
Ah m it I o'el •ck the - indictment was rend, and
Mr C ifford, the Attorney-General, commenced his
• opening in ade berate and solemn manner, confi
ng himself to a clear and succinct statement of
facts in possession of the Government.
These facts, he averred, established two propo
sitions: -
First—That Dr Geo. Parkman was murdered.
Second—That Dr. John W. Webster committed
rite deed.
Mr. Clifford also dwelt at great length on Dr.
Webster's conduct during the time of his arrest,
and contended that a great number of circumstan
ces would be found irreconcilable with the *t yp o .
sewn of his innocence.
Mr Clifford concluded a few minutes past 1
o'clock, and on motion of Mr; Sobrier, the Court
ordered all but the medical witnesses to retire.

The Remit Fraud IN Wes,
A difficulty arose, yesterday, in front of the /RI
ON rdiee, between Bensons Foote and Bor
land, out of a conversation on Southern ethics.—
Mr. Foote dropped a few words about t a servile fol
lowers" of Mr. Calhoun which Mr. Borland con
aiming to reflect upon loused, t scuffle ensued, in
which Gen. Foote was struck in the-face. Be had
but recently recovered from a severe attack of
pleurisy, and was hardly prepared lora street fi ght.
Mr. Borland, the moment the blow was struck, per
ceived, himself, the extreme irnproprietT and an
generousness of his conduct, and apologised for it
since to tie manner which alone could atone for his
rash conduct.
The occurrence is the more to be regretted, as
Messrs. Forte and Borland have been friends, and
Mr. Foote had. on a very recent occasion , defend
ed Mr. Borland against the assault of but enemies.
I am glad to add, that the unconditional apology
offered by Mr. Borland, has since been considered
personally satisfactory by Gen. Foote; and that, in
all probability, Mr. Bodied will this evening be
introduced to the bedside of Gen. Foote, to shake
hands with him.
Alter so grate an offence was committed, tt was
certainty an act of justice and respect for , his own
dignity, as well as for the dignity of the body of
which Mr. Borland is a member, to apologize, as
he has done, to a tried and true friend. After an
error is committed, the best plan is to acknowledge
it frankly ; and not to aggravate it, by false pride
that would add crime to rashness.--Bakentore Sun,
Mardi 16.
SALISBURY FOUND--The long loot man hap 001130
to life. He has by many been supposed to be
dead some five months. Two men have been
tried for his murder riM probably one hundred and
fifty or two hundred dollars have been expended

It appears from Salisbury's story, that he recol
leas being upon the bridge with Rorick . and Rus

his horses were, and that is the last he recollects
until atter he ltund himself at Waterloo, Seneca co.

He has been there all winter, chopping wood for a

was on his way when he came to his brother—in—
law's in Newfield, who took, him up and brought
him here to get the reward of 850 that was offered
last fall by the board of Supervisors. They should
be well enough satisfied that he is found without
asking for .the reward, particularly when they
were at no trouble in searching for him never hay.

believe the supervisors will pay it or ought to pay
it they have already paid enough for Salisbury is

stanchion of the hindmost car and deliberately took
his seat among the ladies. A way-bounded the iron
horse with his usual speed to the no small uonder

fast before. Arrivin g at Foster's Crossing he walk
ed pack to take a loo k at his favorite animal, and
his surprise maybe imagined when he found only
the head of the d(V, attached to the rope with which
he had fastened him. After being perfectly satis

•• Well this is the only cutter that could ever best
