only permitted as many to get in as the
seats would accommodate.
The prisoner sat in the box quite com
posed. Ho is a large, stout man, and his
face, though puckered up a little, has a
trace of melancholy in it. His ej'cs arc
small, and wear the expression of being
short sighted, as they are at times half
closed. His nose is broad at the end, and
his mouth indicative of firmness. Taken
altogether, his face is not a bad one.
When the bill of indictment was read
to him, he listened attentifely, and an
swered 'not guilty,' without a tremor.
While the Jury was being selected, he
was all attention, and. conferred with his
j counsel, J. M. Doran, Esq., as to whom
he should challenge.
The Jurors were all selected from the
regular venire. District Attorney Wm.
B. Reed and Wm. B. Mann prosecute the
case for the Commonwealth, and Joseph
M. Dorkn defends the prisoner.
The case was opened by District At
torney Reed, in a forcible and impressive
speech. During the entire delivery of
the opening by Mr. Reed, the prisoner
i wore upon his face a smile that was often
; sardonic in its character. He is a cold,
! callous wretch, yet is not totally regard.

The Court adjourned at 7 o'clock,, in ,
the evening, alter the examination or a
bout twenty witnesses. Spring's son, the
principal witness for the State, was not
examined the first day.
An immense crowd surrounded tho
Court House, but Spring was smuggled
into a carnage through the back door,
! unknown to the mob, and conveyed back
to prison,
i half past 9 o'clock, the main door3 of the !
! Court room were opened. Ihe rushor
I seats was terrific. The hoarse voice of
; the Marshal's Officers were heard above
: the confusion, demanding order, while
' the screeches of those jammed against
the railings and sides of the door-fay
added to the excitement. After the court
were examined, and their testimony was
of the strongest character.
Spring's son was placed upon the stand
in the afternoon. He is a manly, lmpres-
sing an wuo nearu mm vuu uib iuuuutrucu

to other houses for purposes of robbery
and murder, but by accompanying him,he
had restrained him. The boy's account
is similar to what he gave on the primary
examination.
The Court-room was thronged to suffo
cation. Young Spring was nearly three hours
on the stand, and his examination in
chief was not concluded when the Court
adjourned.
The elder Spring, despite his efforts to
appear calm and collected, fcels his situa
tion keenly, and dreads the result of the
trial. He says he sleeps comfortably,
and still declares his innocence. Last
night, as he was entering the prison door,
he remarked that he supposed the trial
would be ended to-day, and the next day
he would be hung. He declared his wil
lingness to die, to satisfy the public.
In conversation about tha death of the
two women, he said: 'the boy did it, as
sisted by another bo It was cruel to
kill the two poor women, and leave the
two innocent and helpless babies mother
less.7 He further said that he 'intended
to make a statement to the Court about
the matter.'
This is one of the strongest tragedies
that ever occurred; the crime itself was
of the most fearful character, and it was
committed under circumstances of the
I greatest enormity. The tale ot blood is
.suflicieutly horrible but the trial ot the
alleged perpetrator of the effeuse reveals
a scene in the drama scarcely less terri

for the prisoner told him after the ad-

cy of the Court, or procure longer time

Not an embellished and high' wrought
"picture, but a plain business-like state
ment, warranted by good sense and well
known facts, will convince the most in
credulous, if any doubt that the location j
of Scranton will command, thanks to
nobody and in despite of fate, an extent
of trade surpassing the highest" expecta- j
tions. I had like to have said, the fondest
wishes of its most ardent friends. j
Nature seemed to have, marked out N. !
York for the emporium of commerce; but
not more distinctly than Scranton or '
Providence; for a busy, populous and opu- j

growth, and annual augmentation, are
stamped upon it.

their railroad already connects with Lake
Erie and the far,, far west,
5. Look South a chasm in the south

Gap) opens a way to the Delaware.
6. The Water Gap at exactly the desi
rable place, presents an open gate to pass
the Blue mountain,.aud then Philadelphia
and New York, are each within three
hours ride.
7. The Railroad from Albany to Car
bondale will, of course pass down the val

be in demand throughout a vast extent of

be a bold man who dare hazard a guess
of the amount that ten years" hence will

" Shall wc weep Tor tho blossom that raised away,
Wulc tue early uevv oq its young leaves lay l
Can tvo wish it had bided & longer lime
Away from the tight of tU native clime 1
Can we mourn in the depths of our selfish lore,
That angels hare borao it to bloom above I
Fair was tbe blossom, and pure and meek
Txsever welt that the angels seek,
When they come to cull from this world of ours,
Flowers to transplant into Eden's bowora,
They saw our fluwer iu its beautv here,
And boro it up to their own bright sphere.
Vild was our giief, but the itorm is hushed,
And tears which once like a torrent gushed.
Fall gently now like the Mimmer dow.
And JIopc!s.6)eet suushintMs smiling through;
The roFC v5as plucked by a gentle-hand,
And it lives, and blooms, Insa brighter land,"-com.
