TtJKSDAY MORNING, DEC. 21, 1868. easegocs^ML Mary apd the Doctor, through thcmseWese, their ex-eook.<1 er-n arses, friends, neighbors, anda<$SgStances occupy the court JtefnktaT* The Judge, that is to say the Court, lawyer* ?n4 - people assembled, seem to enjoy the details and press Mary and the Doctor to tell ?H they ? knoif and try and recollect more- Mary, the POl min'8 wife, is a captain in her way. Beau tifol.'tnore than ordinarily accomplished, quick j wittad, qaick-expressioned, knowing a thing or two aboint life above and below stairs, she is too much for oar unfortunate Pill man. She steals away the hearts of the soiroaoders, as she will no doubt those of the jury, by her taking ways and the wonderful Delilah-ism (we. claim a pat ent for this last word) of her tongue. Some fourteen days haver now elapsed since this fa moos, trial began, ana ICxry has been in Court, t?11ring * managing, taking notes or prompting her counsel all the white, ban-in meal times and sleeping hoars. It is said that she begins to look exbahsted like, under, this heavy pressure, "worse than under the lle-a-wake-o-nights regime to which-'been trained under the w man? The Key York Timet, *o noticed a day or two ago, claimed that Mary waa a charming beauty in Coba, in 1B56, and had there enraptured the pen <jf die of its' correspondents. Tt is evident she mast be a taking woman, for we read among the great-.batch of testimony, received by as, a parenthetical paragraph, mentioning that some Pictorial Newspaper man (Frank Leslie, we reckon), had Ant on ah 'artist to take a "sketch of Mary for his paper. We quote; One of ti?e episodes of the proceedings to-day had-for its hero the artist of an epterprising New.York Pictorial. Whilst intently occupied in sketching the handsome features of Mrs. Ben nett, she received an intimation of the fact, and immediately covered her face with a thick brown ?eil that'was impenetrable to the sharpest eye. Nothing daunted,, be turned; round and set in dustriously to work on the queer phiz of the Doctor. Some considerate friend informed the Docior of what was going on, and the latter, in a state of the utmost trepidation, moved about in a avery uneasy manner, and when he sat down, put his'hand up-to his face. The Sheriff politely insinuated to the disappointed draughts man tKaCkis presence was no longer needed, and he soon after retired. After thii teiflmodjr ?e4. on "again and . such all curious and- odd-, things aboutgeneral household and kitchen management, as come up are amuiirig and novel enough to us?non-"fam ily man." We feci npw after reading as much as weiu'B of Mary and the Doctor's experience, as if'we had been in the bonds ten yoars, and as if-we could pull; in the traces just like we had fimys been there. But we 4raw;dpwn our "specs" and proceed to read that Susan iflinnon testified that In March and April, 1838, she was employed as chambermaid. and fllfrsi for seven wGeks in Dr. Beunett a fam ily. At the time the children were rack, she said, Mrs. Bennett wanted to go.into anpthor room to sleip; she'tpok a ligbted'candle and the Doctor Was going with her; she turned round andok^ttfe^ctor where he was going; he aaid lie was'going atong with her; she said he was notf^e-iHBl^ato-liis own bed; she then turned back into the room, laid the candle on the mantle- jjieSeindVemaincd-there for abont a Snarter of an hour; she lit the candle again, again leDocttWtteripierfdrgo with er ahd again > s: ? would go, and she said' "No;" after that she.' went ai&fcbi a pillow aiiii^me^bod-clothcs anff, fixed herself roo the lounge; the -Doctor then wenMtilTj^t.'lfplUbVabd fixed himself :<ro"the other <#2irotj?e lonoge; after some time Mrs. Bennett c&thcje^ up her knefs very high on the InakSfjS^m^^orshlWt U t? feet so thatrib)} flapped hirtr^htWFmithfe car pet; she did it violently-. ^ Dofctbr walked up and dowrt tM'Atottl'Wo or thrqo timia rubbing his handaihMiudiomcthin*,. butjiyfaMSS could not Don't I 'i?. thins -Air ??* familyHa*'ntl everything nice and get Weiythjng'good ?"

One, charged with highway robbery, refused, because his mother would be liable for his bail of $1700. Among those who escaped, was Manlev Locke, the murderer of Benjamin Starr. The Sheriff is after them some ways. A* amusing incident is related ofhTo parsons up in New Hampshire, who agreed to make an exchange of pulpits, a Sabbath or two since.? OM of them by some means, made a mistake as to the day ofexchange, and appeared before his brother clergyman, notes in hand, on the Sab Oath .morning before the appointed time. It was within fifteen minutes of bell-ringing^the two tpwns were eightmiles apart, and the aston ishment of both was equal. ' The miscalcuUtibri was soon made to appear, but it was agreed Ihat the exchange should be made on that day Whereupon the pastor of the ctiurcb, where the parties tnet, immediately mounted his horse, and the way the stay-at-home people oo the route, : !tTd1^e d**hed 0Terthe r0ad- ? ? cauUon to How folkfi; but he made the distance id forty minutes,, arriving just as the' assembled people ? were wondering what they should do for preach MB' ? -t : ' Look' ont for counterfeit Twos on the State Bank of Ohio.
