per blocks vrcre also Attached to one gold
plate, which completed the upper aet; there
were spiral springs which enabled the wearer
to open and close his mouth with less danger
of the teeth being displaced than without
them. -' -'-
The teeth were fastened to tho plate by
platina pins, and not gold ones ; mentions
that merely as n fact that he remembered.
Witness showed the model of the Upper sur
faces of the teeth, showing their length.
Owing to an accident which happened to
ono of the teeth it was necessary to have
another made, which made it necessary for
the witness and his assistant to work all
night; before the Medical College opened
we finished the teeth in season, and had just
30 minutes to spare.
second despatch
'. Examination of Dr. N.C.Keep resumed.
When tho teeth were in the mouth he had
just thirty minutes to get to the Medical Col
lege ; we only cut cfl the natural teeth in the
model to make it easier to get it out of the
eand. When I next jaw the Dr. he remarked
thet he did not seem to have room enough
for his tongue. To obviate that difficulty, I
greund ofT the lower jaw so as to give more
room for his tongue ; the teeth being on the
plate it was difficult to do this, and necessary
to grind on a very small wheel; this grinding
removed the pink color which was employed
to represent the gums aud the enamel ; the
fceauty of it was defaced ; the shape left by
the grinding was peculiar, becauso of its be
ing ground on a very small wheel. I saw
Dr. P. occasionally till such slight alterations
as wore needed were made ; the last time
I saw him in relation to his teeth was about
two weeks previous to his disappearance; he
called lote in the evening, having broken a
spring ; this was about 10 o'clock at night ;
it so happened that being unwell I had re
tired for the night ; tho person who went to
the door, seeing it was Dr. Turkman, asked
him in, and came op and told me ; 1 sent
word that I would attend to him, and dressed
as soon as I could ; I came down and told
him that 1 could help him look the teeth,
both upper and lower examined them all
over, and put in a new spring; he stayed
about half an hour ; I had no more profes
sional interviews with him. The day before
his disappearance he called and inquired
about a servant who had lived with me;
went to Long Meadow to spend Thanks
giving, and returned the next Monday ; had
heard of the disappearance before going.
On my return, Dr. Lewis presented to me
these portions of mineral, saying he was re
quested to bring them to me for examination.
On looking at them, 1 recognized them to be
the same teeth that 1 had made for Dr. Park
man. That portion which composed the left
side of the lower jaw was the most perfect.
I recognized the slope of the outline on the
same that I had labored. (Witness was much
affected here.) Seveial other portions were
much mutilated fev exposure to fire. On
comparing tho left lower block with' tho mo
del from which these teeth were made, the
resemblance was so striking, (much affected
here also.) and clear, that I could show where
they belonged. The upper jaw blocks are
divided into many pieces; the lower block
is almost entire J the front below is identified,

Dr. Keep in his testimony said that he
knew the teeth without comparing them
with the mould. Ho staled the order of the
natural teeth that remained in Parkman'i

ral tooth that was found adhering to the block

Detween them and the prisoner, who looks in

Ephraim Littlefield was the first witness
railed lo the stand. The public curiosity to
see mm and hear hu testimony was intense.
un his taking the stand every eye in court
was directed towards him, and a pin could
be heard had it dropped in court during the
time he was being sworn by tho Clerk. This
sudden silence, however, was soon broken in
upon by tho usual buzzing and whispering
in the court room.
Littlefield being the janitor of the Medical
College, and a principal witness on the trial
his evidence w as looked upon as deeply im
portant. In person he is tall, and wore a
blue frock coat, and blue silk scarf about tho
neck, with standing shirt collar. The fea
tures of tho lace were sharp, and his demea
nor on the stand was extremely confident,
laying great stress upon his answer, and fre
quently turning to the beneli, the jurors and
counsel, to explain the position of the differ
ent localities of the college to which he re-
f erred.
In referring to his having met Prof. W. oi

College, the Court took down his answita

November 19, between doctors Webster and
Parkman; I was ir Dr. W's back piivato

W. had thrcp candles burning ; Dr. W. was
looking at a chemical book, nnd appeared to
be reading; I stood at the stove stirring some
water, in which something was to be dissol
ved ; there was salt in the water; I heard no
footstep, but saw Dr Parkman enter the room
from the lecture room; Dr. Webster looked
round surprised to see him enter without be
ing heard; ho said "Dr. Webster, are you
ready for me to-night 1" speaking loud and
quick ; Dr. Webster answered "No, I am not
ready to night, doctor ;" Dr. Parkman said
something else, I do not remember what ; he
either refused to sell Dr. Webster something,
or refused to mortgage something. Dr. Park-
man took out papers from his pocket, and Dr.
Webster said "I was aware it was so ;" Dr.
P. said "It is so, nnd you know it;" Dr. W.
told him, I will seo you to-morrow ; Dr. P.
stood near the threshold of the doer, raised
his hand, nnd said something must be done
o-morrow ; he went out, and it was the last
time 1 ever saw him in the building; when I
was standing in front of tho college nbout
one und a half o'clock, next day (Tuesday),
Dr. Webster camo and asked me if I could
get any one to carry a note to Dr. Parkman,
and added, that if I could not get any one I
could trust, that I must carry it myself; 1

built right under his coal bin, which was be

in the bin we put about eight tons of coal ;
I told him tho weight of this coal sprung the
wall, so as to make it leak, and caused an of
fensive odor to be sont to all parts of the
building; he asked mo how it was fixed;
told him the vault had all been covered u
with dirt, and there had been no smell sincf
he asked me how I got down under the bulg

as half an orange, rounded on both sides; I
carried it down stair into the laboratory, and
set it up against the box in the centre of the
laboratory ; I have never seen anything of it
since, though I have hunted the building all
over; I do not remember any thing particular
till quarter before two, when after I had eat
en my dinner, 1 was standing in tho front
entry, looking out at the front door ; I thought,
before tho coroner's inquest, that it was nbout
half pM one ; but rellecting upon it, I re-
mcmbercd that day I had examined the tick
ets at Dr. Holmes' door, which would make
it a quarter of an hour lner; 1 saw Dr. P.
approaching the collep in Grove, abreast of
Fruit street walking very fast; I entered Dr.
Ware's lecture room, and lay on the settee
nearest the register and nearest the door,
waiting to Dr. Holmes' lecture to finish, to
help fasten his doors and clear away his
tMigs; 1 did not hear nny ono enter Dr.
W's. lecture room ; the front door was open
till after tho lecture that day; Dr. Ware's
lecture room door was closed by a spring i
after putting away Dr II. 's things, I enme
down and locked the front door; about fif
teen minutes past two Dr. Holmes went out ;
was generally the last one to go out of the
building; then I went down stairs to prepare
tho furnace for tho next day ; I always sift
the coal out in tho afternoon ; I cleared out
the furnace that warmed the anatomical and
medical lecture rooms ; they are both in the
cellar, under the front steps ; I then went up
and cleared out the stove in the back private
room of the Medical College room ; the anat
omical room is up stairs ; the chemical and
medical below ; the former in the west and
the latter in the east wing; I then went down
to Dr. W.'s laboratory door to clear up his
room; the door that leads In my cellar; the
door under tho stairs leading from Dr. W.'s
small room to his laboratory under the labo
ratory stairs; I found that door bolted on the
inside ; I then went round to the next door
that led to his laboratory, ami found that fast;
put in my key ; found I could not get in, and
that it was bolted ; I heaid him in there
walking; I heard the Coehituate water run
ning ; went up stair and tried tho door that
led to the lecture nom from the front entry

After the recess, Mr. Littlcfield resumed
I put the key into tho lock to unlock it ; I
found that it wal unlocked and bolted on the

went to tic door and found that it was Mr.
Petty, lo had come to fill out a ticket for a
student named Kidgway, who was going
away A'o filled out for him all but one for
Prof. Yebster's lectures that 1 gave him
myse'. I had some of Piof. Webster's lec
ture (ckets.
Aer Petty went away he staid about
fiflen minutes I again went to the door of
ihe-aboratory ; found the doors all fastened
atirst; I went then to fix his lire, and clean
lb room up. He, Prof. W., used to leave on
8 tables the glasses and vessels used in his
Jctures: and alwavs renuested me to clean
iiem up. At about half past five o'clock, as
was in my kitchen, I heard some one com-
l dn the stairs of the back entry .-(Here
the position of the stairs referred to was ex
hibited in the model.) Left Prof. W's room
and went out; saw Mr. Clapp, Kingston, Ful
ler and Kico come in by the shed. Clapp
said he wished to speak with me; said he
was going to search every every foot of land
in this neighborhood, and wished to search
the College, so that people around might not
object to having their houses searched. I
tuld him I would show him all parts of the
college, to which I have access. We then
saw Dr. Jacob Bigolow In .ntry. We
all went into my parlor and talked; Dr Hiye

CIIOLEIIA AT TRINITY, LA
We published last week an account of
the ravages of cholera at Trinity, Louisiana
Since then we have received the Trinity
Advocate dated March 9th from which we
take the following extracts. The cholera
has abated but inundation has added to their
cup of affliction.
Tho Advocate records the deaths by
cholera of three persons on the 23d, one on
the 24th two on the 20th of February,
and one on the 4th of March. Mr. Wm.
Snyder, formerly of this place, died at Nat
chez on the 25th, the day after he left
Trinity.
Fnmi (he Trinity Advocate, of the IMh In.
In consoquonce of the calamities that have
befallen us, in the shape of cholera and over
flow. Trinity has sutlered a considerable loss
in the amount of her population, for the pre
sent, at least.
Whether sho will suffer a permanent dete
rioration of prosperity, is for time to determine.
Some persons havo expressed a belief that
our late allliction, from disease, was a conse
quence of the decomposition of saw dust, nnd
that the location of the mill at this place
would continue to mnko the town unhealthy.
We entertain no such opinion. There have
been other exciting causes, to which we at
tribute ihe occurrence.
There is no sickness here iiow,anilit would
appear that those who have business here,
havo no reason to lear any more at tuis place,
than elsewhere."
With melancholy crief we register in this
number, Ihe deaths from cholera, in this
place and its vicinity, rtuu Iibto occurred
.i t.i: ..r ... I...I wi
since the publication of our last. Whether
its ravage are now stayed or not, is for no
over-ruling Providence to declare, by the
dispensation of mercy or misery, according
to its will. We always hope for good, but
should preparo to meet evil.
Let every one bo cautious lo avoid the ex
citing causes, and prepared to repulse th
enemy whenever it appears.

the interests of the s-x. The numerous
costly engravings which xpp. ar in each

Willi the management and superintend
ence ofsurh a vast concern, it cannot be
expected that Mr. (iodey would devote
much time to literature, yet he is not with
out merit as a wri'- - tnur-
isil rrnft entertain finer conversational pow-
ri or can rt-iaie an atl'-( uoi wnn more
zest, a fund of which he bus always raily
at command. Mr. Godey is a thriving iul
prosperous man, pecuniarily and corporeal
ly, which w ith an amiable disposition and
an abuni'ance of good nature, could not
fail to render him as he is, one of the hap.
piest of men. io one w ho has noticed a
rotund, active little man, threading Chest
nut street with a quick pace, can fail to re
cognize the proprietor of the "Lady's Book"
from the portrait in one of its late numbers.

from a late English paper, are as beautiful
as they are true, and may be read with pro-
fit by many :
"There is a voice within me,
And 'tis so sweet a voice,
That its soft lUpings win me,
Till tr sart to mine eyes;
Deep from my sou! it springeth,
Like hidden melody ;
And evermore it aiugeth
This song of songa to me:
"This world is full of beauty,
As other worlds above ;
And if we did our duty,
It might he full of love !"

OCT" The Telegraph line is now extend
ed from Mauch Chunk to Berwick and
through Bloomsburg to Danville. The peo
ple of Bloomsburg are required to subscribe
1600 to the slock, in order to get an office
there. At Danville there will be two offi
ces we understand, one of them exclusively
for the Montour Iron Company. The
wires, we believe, are to be extended to
Northumberland and we presume to Har
risburg. It will be an easy matter to run
them over here, on the bridges, at a very
small expense, but whether maintaining an
office would pay, is another matt r yet to
be determined.
