T E E , . -E ERRR A THRILLING TALE. A little more.than fifty years agoanan 4.~; h 1' me of Henry Thompson called of Mr. John Smith, a resident d part of England, and request 's lodging. The request was dil , anted, and the stranger, having ken some refreshment; retired early to ,requesting that he inight be awakened t an early hour the following morning. When the servant app-iinted to call him i entered the room foi that purpose, he was found in his bed, perfectly dead. On e.amining his body, no marks of - violence appeared, but his countenance looked extremely natural. -T e f hiII death soon sprcall among the neighbors, and inquiries were made who lie was, and by what means he came to his death. .Albthing certaini, however, was known. -lie N arrived on horseback, and was E ssing through a ncighboring vil out an hour before he reached the wheore hie camte io his end. And, eui, as to th6 mfannt-i- vof his death, so lit fle could be discovered, that the jury! which was summoned to investi-atethi cause, returned a vardieth*mOie " by a vi 'a- .iVrchen this was done, r was buried. d weeks passed on, and little nown.

Suspicions ex dia hstened the - , to that et; essdd, he hearts of Szifk was A d as guilty. r cha f Smith had not d ie .ed a loose and -e v inhinelf in debt by travagances, and, a pected of having obtaine e lully, he suddenly fled from the than ten years, however, ha. epsed, since hilitp;e durin~ he had lived at his sent resi eie, apparently in good circumsta utd' with an improved character. ~ dierlife, however, wva% not ed, and susp~icion, after all, fa~ ed upon hina At the bxpiration of two months, a gn tleman one dlay stoppedl inl the platce for the purpose of making inquiry respecting the stranger who hadeeen found dead in his bed. He supposed hximself t4o be a brother of the man. Th'le horse and clothes of the unfortunate man still remained. and were iniimediately kngywn as having be S langed to his brotlF Trhe body, also, was taken up, and though consid eraibly changed, bore sa strong resemnblar.ce to him.V' Hiow felt authorized to ascertain, if possill, .the nmanner of his death. He proceeded, therefore, to investigate the circuinstances as well as lie was able. At length hie e known to the magistrate of the disi the information lie had col kecte ~i~upon the strength of tis~, Sibith was taken to jail to be tried forf thil ~ft1,murder of Henry Thompson. The scelebrated Lord Mansfield was then on the bench. Hie charged the Grand Jury to b~e cautious as to the find nga bill against the prisoner. Tih~e cvi. dence of his guilt, if guilty, might be small. A t a future time it might be grea ter-more information mimght be obtained. Should the jury nowv find a bill against him, and should he lhe acquitted, lie could niot be molested again, whatever testinmo ny should rise up agaiinst him. Tfhe grand jury however, did find a bill, but-it was by a majority of only one. At length the time of trial ar:-ired. S- Smith was brought into court, and plaed at the bar. A great crowd thronged the' room, eager and( anxious to see the pri soner, anid to hear the trial. He himself appeared firm amnd collected. Nothing in his manner or appearance indicated guilt; the clerk-" Are you guilty ?" he answer ed with an* unfaultering tOngue, and with a countenanceperfectly unchanged, 'lNot guilty ! The counsel for the prosecution now i thdCase. But it was apparent that h6 had little expectation of being ible to prove the prisoier guilty. Ie sta ted to the jury that the case was involved in-great mystery. The prisoner vas a man of respectability and of property. The deceased was supposed to have had about him gold and jewels to a large anioant; but the prisoner was not so much in want of funds, as to be under a strong temnptation to commit murder. And besides,if the prisdner-ad obtained the propert he had effectdally concealed it. Notace'o dt could be-found. the prisoner susjiected! He the grounds of suspuicion. Ienry Thompson, was a d ng in London, and a man l je had left London for the ometng ar Atrader at'Hull, of ise. 'Itat trader he did meet; and, after the departure of the latter,. Mr. Thompson .,was known to have had in his possession gold and jewels to a large amount. With these in bis possession, he left [lull on his returd to London. It was lot known that he stopped until he reaici ed Smith's, and the next noi-ning was discovered -dead in his bgd. He died, then, in Smith's house; and if it could be ihown .that hecame to his death in an un satural way, it would increase his suspi. ,ion, that the prisoner was in some way ,onnected with the murder. T:e counsel for the prosecution con .laded what be had to say. During his iddress, Smith. appeared in no wise to be igitated or. distressed -and. equally un noved was he while the witnessed .testi ied in substance what the opening speech >f the counsel led the court and the jury :o expect Lord Mansfield now addressed the jury. [Te told them that, in his opinion; the evi lence was not suflicient to condemn thfl n'isoner, and if the jury agreed with him ao:fii:,, iL os woulid diamrge him. Without lea heir seats, the jui-y lgreed that thee ice was not sufflicient. At this momen hen they were about o render a verdict of aciuitt:uI, the .pri ;oner rose and addressed the court. Ile aid he had been aceused of a foul crime, aid tie jury had said that there was not miflicient evidence against him. Did the ury meuan that there was au-- evri".C 1griinst him? . Wato go out of court it.6n~rs upon him, after if? This he was unwilling to (10. He as an innocent nian, and if the judge vould grant hi:n the opportunity he would >rove it. He would call his housekeeper, .ho would confirm a statenz-nt which lie ,ould now make. 'Th1C housekeeper had not npeared in onurt. She had concealed herself, or ind been concealed by him. But he him. ;elf now offered to bring her forward n-id stated as the reason, not that he was mwilling that she could testify, but know rg the'excitement, he was fe'arinl that she night he bribell to give testimony ccntra -y to fact. lBut lie was now ready to re ate all the circuimst-mes he knew-4 iight, then, he called and he examiil tf her testimnony does not confirm tory, let me be condemned. he requec4 of the prisoider seemed rea blec, aund Lord Manmsfiel.d, contrary t sual practice, granited it. nent. J.fo said he wished to go ou1t of ~ourt relieved from the suspicins wiebI ,''ree r'esting upnon him.

Ilet iould e:dIl God to witness thle truth cf wvhat he said. The bonsmekeeper~ was no0w introduced, sod examinmed liy the couni sel. for the pri to'ner. She had not heard anyD pamrt of the statemenst of~ Smith, nor a single word atf the trial. Her story confirmued all lie Toai.lsuedeeded her dsszexamnina tion by the counsel for the prosecution. One circumistance had made a deep im. pression on his mind-this wsas, that while the prisoner and the housekeeper were in tile room of the former, something likesn dooi- had obstrueted the light of the canm dIe, so that the witness testified to the fact, but could not see it.'-Whiat wais the obstr-uctionm ? '[here was nso door-noth inmg in the room which could account for this. Yet the witness was positive that something like a door, did, for a moment, come betwveen the wvind~ow and the can dile. 'isneededexplaniation. The house keeper was the only person that could give it. Designing to probe this matter, in the end, to the lbottomi, bu1t not wishing to excite her alarm lie began by asking herra few unimportant questions, And among others, where the candle stood wh'!ile she was in Mr. Smith's room. "in the centre of f he room," she replied "XWell, and wvas the closet orcefpboard, or wvhatever you call it, open'ed once or twice while it stood( there ?' She madeh not reply. -r " I will help yonr recolleclion," said the' connel. Aft.. Mr. Smith had taken the medicine ont of the closet, did he shut the door, or did it.remain open ?" "He shut it." "And when he replaced the bottle in the closet, he opened it again, did he ?" ie did." "And how long was it *open the last time " "Not above a ninute; 'Well, and when open ivould the door be between the light and the window ?" "It would." "I forget," said the counsel, " whether you said tho closet was on the right or left hand side of the window." "On the left hand side." "Would the door of the closet make any noise in opening f" "1 None." "Are'you certaii1" ." "Have you ever: op- yourself, or onlf seen.Mr-Snitloien it".

A cold,4xa tstood upon. his brow, and ha fa lost all its color; he appeared a lhiin inage of death.. She no. sooner saw him, than she shiiek. ed and fainted. The consequence of her answers flashed across her mind. She had been so thoroughly deceived by the manner of the adviocate, and by the. little importance he had seemed to attachl to her statements, ttatshe had been led on by one question.to...another, till she had told him all he wanted to know.. She was obliged to be taken fron the court, and a physician, who was present, was requested to attend to her. At this time, the Solicitor for the prosecution (anl. swering to our State's attorney) left the court, but.no one knew f6r what purpse.
