NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
New York. State. 
The trial of Gen. Geo. VV. Cole for the murder 
of Hon. L, H. Hiscock began in Albany on Monday 
of last week, but there was really nothing done ou 
that day. Tuesday and Wednesday were cousumed 
in efforts to empanel a jury. Tne jury of twelve 
was finally obtained from lists embracing one hun¬ 
dred and fifty-eight names. On Thursday lion. 
Henry Smith, District Attorney, opened the case for 
the people, after which the testimony for the prose¬ 
cution was introduced. The fact oft ie murder was 
established by local witnesses, the character of the 
fatal wound was shown, the weapons employed by 
the murderer were identified, and on these with 
some minor incidents being proven, the prosecution 
rested. The opeuinsr for the defence, by Mr. Had¬ 
ley, laid out a great deal of ground for The justifica¬ 
tion of the homicide. The first day’s testimony for 
the defence was devoted to the question of the 
sanity of the prisoner, and several medical witness¬ 
es were introduced to show that his tneutal sound¬ 
ness bad been impaired by the results of an injury 
sustained in the war. The broader ground of the 
right of the prisoner to avenge his wrong by slay¬ 
ing Die alleged invader of bis marital rights, is also 
embraced in the theory of the defence. Public in¬ 
terest in the case is rapidly increasing. 
The Assembly has passed the bill relative to the 
submission of the new Constitution. The Assem¬ 
bly differs from the convention as to the method of 
submission. The latter body suggested only two 
ballots, one relative to suffrage, and the other cov¬ 
ering the rest of the constitution. The Assembly 
bill proposes to divide and submit the instrument 
in four separate parts: First, that, relative to Suf¬ 
frage; second, Judiciary; third, Legislature; fourth, 
the remainder of the constitution.

Twelve convicts escaped from Clinton prison 
Wednesday last. They were at work in the iron

mouth of the mine. There they encountered a 
guard, but with the gun in their possession they 
disposed of him and jumping over the stockade tied 
for the woods. The prison was closed as soon as 
the alarm was given, and all hands started in pur¬ 
suit of the fugitives. Seven were captured Wednes¬

swer to the question “Guilty” or “Not Guilty.” 
Secondly, That on conviction, the presiding officer 
shall pronounce the removal from office, and any 
further judgment shall he on the same order of the 
Senate, but objection being made to them they went 
over. Mr. Grocsbtck then delivered his argument 
for tkedefen-c. It was, in the main, a repetition of 
what hud been already said in the President's de¬ 
fense. Alluc ng to a portion of Mr. BoutwelPs 
speech, he denied that the President was merely the 
servant, of Congress to execute their laws; his oath 
of office required him first to maintain the Consti¬ 
tution. He farther combated earnestly the posi¬ 
tion assumed by that gentleman that the President 
is required to execute all laws, even if they are pro¬ 
nounced unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, 
claiming that, in such cases he was bound by his 
higher obligations.

Experience with Clothes Wringers. 
I tkied many of them and fonnd them unsatisfac¬ 
tory. Thinking that something of ihe kind must be 
a boon to housekeepers, full of cares and often over¬ 
worked, I tried the Universal Clothes Wringer, sold 
by R. C. Browning, Agent, at 32 Cortland street, 
New York. It answered the purpose desired al¬ 
together beyond my expectation, proving itself 
well made, lasting, little liable to be out of order

I wish was in every family in tne world. J. A. Nash.

The Trial of the President was not coneinded 
last week. The High Court adjourned over from 
Monday to Wednesday, to give counsel time for the 
preparation of arguments. Upon the re-assembling 
of the Court, on Wednesday, the question came up 
as to how many speeches should be made on either 
side in summing up. It was decided by a vote of 28 
to 32 to allow as many as wished to make oral argu¬ 
ments or file them a.- they might choose. Mr. Bout- 
well then commenced his argument ou the part of 
the prosecution, and proceeded with it till 4:30 P. M. 
—three and a half hours—when, at the suggestion of 
Mr. Conkiing, he yielded to a motion to adjourn. 
Mr. JBoutweD opened his speech by saying that this 
trial relates to the chief magistrate of the principal 
republican nation of the world, and is a test of the 
national virtue and of the strength of popular gov¬ 
ernment. He considered the articles of Impeach¬ 
ment at length and claimed that every article is fully 
proved, lie demanded conviction on every count 
and declared in conclusion that the acquittal of the 
President is not possible, and that his conviction is 
the peace of the nation. Mr. Logan filed his argu¬ 
ment, which occupies twenty-three and a half col¬ 
umns of the Congressional Globe. 
On Thursday Mr. Boutwell concluded his speech, 
and Mr. Nelson began the argument for thedefeuce. 
He spoke extempore, and did not complete his argu¬ 
ment until the ensuing day. He quoted at great 
length from the debates on the formation of the 
Constitution, and on the passage of the act of 178V) 
and from numerous legal authorities, to show thai 
the question of the President’s power of removal 
was definitely settled by tbe action of Congress at 
that time, and that in removing Mr. Btanton the 
President had but exercised what he had good rea 
son to believe was a constitutional right.

man and train men were all at breakfast, and no one 
was hurt. A piece of Iron weighing a thousand 
pounds was thrown forty rods, killing a calf. The

The windows iu the depot offices were demolished,

well summed up in the following remark:— 1 * There 
are two towns, Prescott and Ogdensburg—the 
former on the Canadian bauk of the St. Lawrence, 
the latter on the opposite side, exactly opposite. 
Prescott is a miserable, depressing place, with grass 
iu its streets; whilst Ogdensburg, with, I was as¬ 
sured, no greater local advantages, is all life and 
bustle—gas works, water works, mills, manufacto¬ 
ries, shipping, aud every sign of wealth aud pros¬ 
perity.”

wards of seventy and the bride more than three score 
years of age. Many years ago, perhaps forty, pre¬ 
parations were made in the same house for the mar¬ 
riage of this couple, but some untoward circum¬ 
stance defeated it. They are now happily married, 
and received the congratulation of the children and 
grandchildren of those who forrnly assembled for the 
same purpose.”

In reference to the Boston market, the Bulletin of Satur¬

PERFECT SUCCESS! 
JOHNSTON'S PATENT 
SELF-BAKING BEAPEE! 
We Manufacture Reaper* for Reaping and 
Mowers for Mowing. 
Our Reaper is a perfect, success.because it is simple tn con¬ 
struction, and has less than half the number ot parts con¬ 
tained In mo~t Reaping machines. The rnjrSTRl’CTfOM Is 
such ns to enable us to bring the machine In small space, and 
also enables us to construct the i*' inclpal parts of Iron, ma 
king tbe machine strong and durable. 
THE P1KGEH BEAM 
Is located opposite the tread or the driving-wheel, giving 
the machine a perfect balance, and enabling it to pa83 over 
uneven ground aud water ftn-uws with ease. 
THE HEIGHT OF CUT 
Is readily varied from 3 to 13 inches,and the platform always 
kept lu a horizontal position, or the driver can, bv a lever, 
raise and tower Die. cut and give, the proper angle lor cutters 
In lodged or standing grain. 
The .joh\sto\ Self-Rake 
Gathers and delivers wheat, rye. barley, oats, buckwheat, 
clover, timothy and flax teed, and sowed tern In gavels, 
bunches, or a swath, at the will of the driver. 
IT IS A PERFECT SUCCESS! 
Because it was the Brst ro abandon the smooth slat or beat¬ 
er lor gathering in the gram, and to use the ltakes lor gath¬ 
ering, as well as delivering. It. W'as 
THE FIRST GATHERING APPARATUS 
In which the beater dropped down on alevel with and in ad-’ 
vancc of the cutters, curried the grain on to the platform, 
brushed It back Tar enough to keep Die cut tors clean ; then 
rose up till a sufficient quantity w.m deposited for a gavel, 
when the driver could at wilt deliver It, The 
Johnston Patent Sweepstakes Self-Raking Reaper 
Cuts a sLx foot swath, With as little draft as a light four foot 
mower, and no side draft whatever. Do vou ask as to its 
strength and (inr.abitttv? The cmnhlnaUou’of wood and iron 
in the Huger bur makes it the moat periectof Auger bars, its 
machinery is im- most eon-pact arid Out able of am other, 
and the seat of the driver outsldnuf the driving wheel so 
balances and relieve? the linger bar that it is less liable to 
sag or break, than that ot any other Machine. Well, but 
how much work will it do? Here is Its great value, for it 
draws so light, and cuts so wide, that It has been known to 
cut 1 10 acre? ot heavy grain in seven days. But it cuts easily 
with j. common team, 15 acres a day.
