TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1864. i J®CtsteUang* NOT GUILTY—A STORY OF RSAL LIFE. One day, a good many years ago, a young woman knocked at the door of a little cottage in the suburbs of the town of Newcastle-upon- Tyne. The knock was immediately answered by the opening of the door from within. An aged woman, neatly dressed, and who bad ev idently risen from her wheel, was the solo in mate of the little cot. - “Bless ycur heart, girl,” said the dame, as she entered with the visitor and sat down to the wheel again, " there must be something particular to-day, for you did not use to knock.” “ I was afraid some one might he with you, mother, said the girl, who bad taken a, seat op posite the spinner. “And though a neighbor had been here," repented the dame, “ this surely wouldn’t have have frightened you away;" But the truth is, you have got something to say to roe, Catharine,” ! continued the speaker,* kindly ; “ out with it, my dear, or,d depend upon the best council that old Hannah can give.” The young woman, blushed, and did not im mediately speak. “ Has Wiliam Hutton asked you to ho his wife ?” r,aid the dame, who easily and rightly anticipated the matter that was in the mind of her youthful visitor. \ “ lie has, mother,” was the reply. The old woman began to birr earnestly at the wheel. “Well, my dear, said she, after a short pause, “ is not this but what you have long expected —aye, and wished ? He has your heart; and so, I suppose, it needs no witch to tell ■ what would be the end on’t.” This might all be very trne, hut there was something upon Catharine’s mind which strug gled to*be out, and out it came. “Dear Hannah," said she, seating herself close by the dame, and taking hold of her hand, “you have been a kind friend—a parent —to me, since my own poor mother died, and 1 have no one else to look to for advice but yourself. I have not given William an answer, and would not till I had spoken to you ; es pecially as something—as yon once said ” “What did I say, Catharine?” interrupted the old woman; “nothing against the in an .you love, surely. He is from all I have seen and heard, kind hearted, industrious, and every way well behaved.” ~ .“Yes, Hannah,” replied the young woman ; “ but you once said, aftpr I bad brought him once or twice to see you, that you did not like those—those sorts of low fits that sometimes fa 11_ upan.Jiirn even » company. Ihav.e. often, noticed thenr-aince, Hannah,” continued Cath erine with a- sigh/ ’ . “ Plague on my thoughtless tongue for say-' ing any such thing to ’ves you, my dear child. Heed nut so careless a speech, Catherine. lie was a soldier, you know-, a good many years ago—before he was twenty —and fought for his country. lie may hare seen sights -tbep that make him grave to think upon, without the least cause for blaming himself. But, whatever-it may he, I meant not, Catherine,, tliiit you should take sUcli a passing word to 'heart. If he has some little cares, you will easily soothe him and make him happy.” As the worthy datne spoke, her visitor’s brow cleared, nod after some further conver sation, Catherine left the cottage, lightened at heart with the' thought that her old.friend ap proved of her following the course to which her inclination led her. Catherine Smith was indeed well entitled to pay respett to the coun sels of Hannah. The latter had never been married, and spent the greater part of her life in the service of a wealthy family at Nor peth. When she was there, the widowed .mo ther of Catherine had died in Newcastle, and and on learning of the circumstances, Hamlah, though a friend merely, and no relation, had sent for the orphan girl, then about ten years of age, and had taken care of her till she grew fit to maintain herself by service. At finding herself unable to continue a work ing life longer, Ilapnah had retired to New castle, her native place, where she lived in horoble comfort on the earnings of her long career of servitude. Catherine came back with her to Newcastle, and- immediately went info service there. Hannah and Catherine had been two years in these respective situations when the dialogue which had been recorded took place. On the succeeding expiration of her term of service Catherine was married to the young man whose name has been stated as being William Hutton. He was a tanner by trade, and bore, as Hannah bad said, an excellent character. The first visit paid by the new married cou ple was to the cottage of tho old woman, who gazed'on them with maternal pride, thinking she had never seen so handsome a pair. The few years spent in the army hod given to his ndturally good figure an rn ct manliness, which looked as well in ope of his sex as the slight .graceful figure, and tbefair, ingenuous countenance of Catherine was calculated to onb of womankind. Something of this kind was in the thoughts of old Hannah- when Catherine hndiher husband visited the dame’s little dwelling. , "" Many a future visit was paid by the same parties to Hannah, and on each successive occasion the old worn an looked narrowly, though os unobtrusively as possible, into the state of the young wife’s feelings with a moth erly anxiety to know if she was happy. For, though Hannah—seeing Catherine’s affections to be deeply engaged-—bad mode light of her own early, remarks upon the strange and most unpleasant gloom occasionally if not frequent ly observable iii the manner of William Hut ton the old woman had novet been’able to rid bar own mind altogether from misgiving '>r"’h tho subject. For many months after Cather ine’s marriage, however, Hannah could dis cover nothing but unalloyed happiness in the air and conversation of the youthful wife. But at length Hannah’s anxious eve did , perceive something like a change. Catherine ;seeroed sometimesto fall, when visiting the cottage, injofits of abstraction, not unlike 'those which bad been observed in her husband, The aged dame felt greatly distressed at the thought of her dear Catherine being unhappy, but for a long time held her peace uppn the subject, trusting that the cloud might be a temporary one, and would disappear. It was not so, unfortunately, though in their manner to each other when together nothing hut the most cordial attention whs observable. Catherine, when she oame alone to see Hannah, always seemed a prey to some uneasiness winch all her efforts could not conceal from her old friend. Even when she boeame for the. first time a mother, and with all the beau t’lUhpride of a young mother’s lovo, presented her babe to Hannah, the latter could see signs of a secret grief imprinted on Catharine’s" trow. Hoping by her counsels to bring re lief, Hannah at last took an opportunity to tell the young wife what she bad observed and sought her confidence. At first Catherine stammered forth a hurried assurance that she was perfectly happy, and, in a few seconds, belied her "words by bursting into tears, and owning that she was very unhappy, “ But; I cannot, Hannah," she exclaimed, “ I cannot tell the cause—not even to you 1” “ Don’t say so, my poor Catherine,” replied Eahnab ; "it is not cpiiosily that bids me in terfere.” T “Oh, no? replied the young wife,' “ I know you speak from love to me." “Well, then, continued the dame, “open your heart to me." Catherine was silent. “Is your husband harsh?”asked Hannah. . “ No, no 1 " cried the wife; “ man could not be kinder to woman than be is to me.” “ Perhaps he indulges in drink—in private.” Hannah, you mistake altogether," was Cath- reply; “my husband is as> free from all such faults as ever man was." “My dear child,” almost smiling as ths idea entered her head, “ you are not suspicious— not jealous.” “ I have never had a moment’s cause, Han nah,” answered Catherine". “No, my griefs are not of that nature. He is one of the best and dearest of husbands.” Old Hannah was puzzled by these replies, as much as she was distressed by the now open avowal of Catharine's having some hid den case of sorrow ; but seeing that her young friend could not make up her mind to a dis closure at the time, the aged dame gave up her inquiries, and told Catherine to think seri ously of the propriety of confiding all tp her. Hannah conceived that on mature* consid eration Catherine would come to the conclusion of seeking counsel at the cottage. She was not wrong. In a few days after thor coo-cmturn; uieyuuog wire. carrie to vis it Hannah again, and after a little absent and. emharassed talk, entered upon the subject which was uppermost in the minds of both. “Hannah,” said' Catherine, “I fear you can serve me nothing—l fear no living being can serve me. 1 Oh, Hannah ! good as my hus band appears to be—good as he is some dreadful weight pressing upon his mind which destrys his peace nod mine too. Alasl the gloomy fits which yo'u and I noticed in him, are. not without cause, I fear.” Catherine wept in silence, and continued : “All that I know of this cause apises from his expressions—his dreadful expressions— while he is sleeping by my side, Hannah, be speaks jn broken language of murder I of .having a murder 1 He mutters about.tfie streaming blood that bis band drew from the 1 innocent victim!’ Alaa 1 I have heard ,-.enough to know that he speaks of a young woman. Oh, Hannah, perhaps a wo man deceived and killed by him I” As Catherine said this she shuddered, and bu ried her face in that of her babe which she carried in her arms. Hannah was shocked to hear of this, but her good sense led her at once to suggest, lor the comfort of tho poor wife, that it was perfectly possible for her husband to imagine himself a murderer in his sleep, and speak of it, with out the slightest reality in the whole affair. “ Ah, Hannah” said Catharine, sadly, “ these dreadful sayings are not the result of one nightmare slumber. They occur often—too often. Besides, when Ffirst beard him mutter in his sleeep of these horrible things, I men tioned the matter to bim in the morning at our breakfast, and laughed at it; but he grew much agitated, and telling me to pay no atten tion to such things, as he sometimes talked nonsense he knew in his sleep, he rose and wehtjaway, leaving his meal unfinished—in deed; scarcely touched. I am sure ha does not know {ion often he speaks in bis sleep, for I have never mentioned the subject again— though my rest is destroyed by it. And then his fits of sadness at ordinary moments I Han nah ! Hannah ! there is some mystery under it 1 Tot continued the petir young wife; “he is so good—and kind—so dutiful - to God-' and man. He- has too much tenderness and feel ing to harm a fly I Hannah, what am t to think or to to dp, for I am wretched at present ?” It was long ere the old dame replied to this ■ question. She mused deeply oh what had been told her, and in the end said to Cath erine V “ My poor child, I cannot believe that Wil liam is guilty of what these circumstances lay seemingly at his door. But if the worst be true, it is better for you to know it, than to be in this killing suspense forever. Go and gain his confidence, Catherine; telll bim all that has come to your ear, and say that you do so by my advice.” Hannah continued to nso persuasions of the same kind for sometime longer, and at length esnt Catherine home, firmly ‘ resolved to follotv the counsel :given to her. On the; following day Catherine once more presented herself at the abode of Hannah, and ns soon as she had entered exclaimed; ‘■Dear mother,.! have told bim all! He will be here soon to explain everything to us both.” The old .woman did not exactly comprehend this; “Has.henot,” said sbßj “given an ex planation then.to you.?”. - , ! "No, Hannabj”’said Catherine, but, oh! he is not guilty. When' I had spoken to him as yds dteirtd’ms, he *m silent for A long time, and be then took me in bis arms, Han nah, nud kissed me, saying, “My darling Catherine, I bad ought to have confided in you long before. I have been un. fortunate, but not guilty. Go to kind Han nan’s, and I" will soon follow you and set your mind at ease, as far as it- can he done,— Had I known how much you have been suffer ing, I would have dore this long before.” “These were his words, Hannah. Oh, he mnv he unfortunate.” Hannah and Catherine said little more to each other until the husband of the latter came to .tho cottage. William sat down gravely by bis wife, and commenced to tell bis story: 11 The reason of the unhappy exclamations in sleep,” said he, “ which have weighed so much upon your mind, my dear Catherine, may he very soon told. They arose from I a circumstance which has much embittered my j peace, but which I hope, is to bo regarded as a sad calamity rather than a crime. When I en tered the army, which I did at the of nine teen, the recruiting party to which 1 attached myself was sent to Scotland, where we re mained for a few months, being ordered again to England, in order to be transported to the continent. One .unhappy morning, as we were passing out of a town where we had rested-on our march southward, my compan ions and I chanced to see a girl apparently about fifteen years of age, washing clothes in a tub. Being then the most light-hearted 1 took up a large stone, with the intention of splashing the water against the girl She stooped hastily, end shocking to tell, when I threw the stone, it struck her on the bea : and she fell the ground, with, I fear, her sk-nli frac tured. Stupefied by what I had doc. I stood gazing at the stream of blood gashing from my poor victim’s head, when my companions, observing that no one had seen us (for It was then early in the morning), and were in a few weeks on the continent, but the image of that bleeding girl followed me everywhere ; and since I came home, I have never dared to in quire into the result, lest suspicion should be excited, arid I should suffer for murder! For I* fear from the dreaoful nature of the blow, that the death of the pool crearure lies at my door!” ■ "While Hutton was relating this story, he had turned his eyes to the window ; but what was bis astonishment, as be Was concluding, to hear old Hannah cry aloud “ Thank God !’’ while his wife burst into a hysterical passion of tears and smiles, and threw herself into his arms. “ My. dear husband,” cried she; as soon as her voice found utterance, “ that town was Morpeth?” . 1 -““It was." ' ~ _ “ Dear Willlia'm,” the wife then cried, “ I am that girl I” ■- “ You. Catherine I” cried the enraptured hus band, as he pressed her to his bosom. “Yes,” said old Hannah, from'whose eyes tears of joy were fast dropping,” the girl whom ■you unfortunately struck, was sbe who is now the wife qf your bosom ; but your fears have magnified the blow. Catherine was found by myself soon after the accident, and though she lost lulittle blood, and was stunned for a time, she soon got round again. ’ Praised be Heaven fat bringing about this blessed explan ation !” i “ Amen,” responded Catherine and her hus band. Peace and happiness, as much as usually fall to the happiest mortals, were the lot of Catherine and her husband from .this time for ward, their great source of inquietude being; thus taken, away. The wife even loved -her husband the more from the discovery that the circumstances which had caused her distress were but a proof of-his extreme tenderness of' heart and conscience, and William was attach ed the more strongly to Catherine, after find ing her to he the person whom ho had unwit tingly injured, A new tie, as it were, had been formed between them. Strangs as this history may'appear, it is true. COPPERHEAD CONSPIRACIES. The O. Jl JC s., tnl Indiana—Papers discovered in the Office of Congressman Yoorhees — Gen. Carrington’s Letter. Some time ago copies of the ritual of the O. A. K. were found in the office of D. W. -Ynor bees, of Terre Haute, which naturally led to the inference that they were tho property of Yoorhees. He has made a denial to Col. R. W. Thompson and to Gen. Carrington, which occasioned the following reply: Indianapolis. Ind., Aog. 16. 1864. Hon. H. W. ■ Yoorhees. Member of Concrete.

Thompson has done.” The assumption in the above is groundless. Toiir name is not mentioned by. me ,my re portr, neither have I published anyth i.» about you whatever.

Yon ** desire to ascertain whether the circumstances connected'with the. discovery of those papers in that -office. led -to the supposi tion that you placed them there, or was even aware of their existence.” Yon desire this that the people may know the truth, and “ not that you attach any par ticular importance to the documents.’* The papers referred to ore 112 copies of the Ritual of the O.
