'Comm. vs.•Harrhion Shomo.—This was a
prosecution against the defendant for ad.,l
ministering drugs to produce abortion upon
the person of Miss Sarah Varney, whom •it
was alleged ho had seduced: •It was' stated
by the counsel for the Commonwealth in the'
opening of .the case that the crime was sur.
rounded by circumstances of a' partiefilarly
aggravating nature, the most unnatural and
revolting violence having been resorted to
by the defendant as the auxiliary means to
accomplish his object, in condequeace of
which the girl had been physically ruined for
life. Miss 'Varney was then offered as a
witness, but objetted to by the defense as
incompetent. Having been sworn to make
true answers, she stated that she was the
wife of Harrison Shorn?, the defendant,
having been married to him on the 18th of
Fetruary ; last, under the eircumstances al.;
ready referred to in the case of the Com.:
monwealth vs. Jesse Varney et al l before'
reported. The legal point was; then raised
by the defense that a wife was legally in•.
competent to be a witness againsp ;her hue.;
biaid, except for the purpose of teitifyinglo
violence done to her during coverture, The:
Prosecution, on the' other hand, contended:
;that the marriage here set up was illegal and;
;void, and that there was therefore no • legal:
disability on khe part of the wife to testify,.

fallen Into discount, and it might well be
doubted if any prediction however sure,
could keep people from their pillows., But'
it would appear the meteors have come.
Persons in this eity_have Elm -them - for the
past two nights. The noWspaPera heralded
all over the country that at about ibis time
they would appear, and we have not been,
disappointed. WO Ogre they didn't show:
themselves in cottAtlext myriads, but yet'
they blazed across the firmament in numbers;
unusual t thick and fast. Last' night Was'
beautiful, the heavens.twinbled, and thelair
was cold and bracing:' Our informant shya
that shortly after midnight the celestial fire'
works began. First, up from the north.
east shot a brilliant star, like a royal'rocket,'
which left its train of.brilliant light in , the:
heavens, as it dropped out of sight. We'
see by the newspapers that meteors alp
peered in every portion' of the heavens,'
rose in =testy, and exploded ih fire, !nay'
were, visi ble all over the laud. At some
places they made a light so brilliant that
persons were able to read the stnall.type Of
a newspaper. Just before five o'clock they
ceased, but up to that time they averaged
about six per minute.
