SAMUEL TODD, Circiul Judge.

In the case of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, vs. John Dumont, I appeared as Attorney for the Commonwealth, and conducted the prosecution agrainst said Dumont. When the

whole testimony in favor of the Commonwealth had been heard, I felt it my duty to abandon the prosecution, without requiring the inlroduc tion of any testimony in favor of the accused. The jury accordingly found a verdict in his favor without leaving their box. Daring the whole trial there was no evidence tending in

any degiee to affect the reputation of fllr. Du mont, nor was there the slightest evidence con. ducing to show that he had been guilty of per

jury or of any improper conduct whatever.

MASON BROWN, Attorney for the Commonwealth. Port William, Ky. April 21. 1832 The above statement of the Commonweath'e Attorney is true, and I give my sanction to the

It names would serve you, have no hesitation in saying that there was not a single individual present (save Evertson. the prosecutor,) who did not think and wonld not say that the prosecution was malicious and wicked, and many who heard it do think and so express themselves, that Ev-

Mr. Editor: ertson entrapped you in getting yon to unent.

Sir It is generally conceded that little good for the sole purpose ol compelling you to swear,

results from a newspaper controversy; but as Lucius in your last week's paper, has been pleased to make a few caustic remarks on Sempro Bious' caution, published in your paper of the 17th of April last, perhaps it wotld not be a miss to give them a passing notice. He appears to labor to convey an idea, that he believes the Sabbath 19 done away perhaps he means the law of Moses and draws the sweep ing conclusion that the Decalogue (or ten commandments. as they are called,) are all swept away together under the gospel dispensation.

Can any reasonable person, for a moment, be.

before some tribnnal authorized to administer

an oath, with the predetermination to have yon indicted, no matter how you swore. 1 am one

of the number who think so. And I further

state, that in all my acquaintance with man

alkali will produce a ream of paper.

In speaking of the wonderful natural resources of the state of Maine, the Gardner Chronicle remarks: "We have fulphuret of iron, or copperas rock, sufficient to make copperas enough, when added to our maple bark, to dye all creation Llacli as the dark ages of Egypt." A curious circumstance occurred at Biggleswade lately. A gentleman found great fault with a young man who milked his cow, from the small quantity of milk he used to bring in, and said he was sure he could not

milk the cow clean. The mystery was shortly explained, by his discovering a pig, which he kept, sucking the cow the same as a calf would do, which immmedintely accounted1 for the small quantity of milk given by the cow. The pig has since been ordeied to do penance by'being kept fastened in the sty.
