'I'his will ha.1s been contestod, and t 1the case is n1ow on trial. The claim -imthat Cornell labored tindeo- a po litical delusion equi'valbtnt tb 'a niono Inania. It has been proved by fan jamin Slater, ain intelligent morchant t of Norwieh, and one of 01he subvcrib- t '~ig witn esses, that when Mr. Cornell asked hii to signt the will as a wit ness, Mr. Corntell inad reference to ono of his daughters, and said : "ITit the lRepublican party was tho i main cau-se of the war-, and it Wa; for i that ranton - hie had diecardiII this daughter--hecauso she ectouraged the i inici ple.4 of sucl a party."

A most dliabolical outrage was om initted, on Saturday night last, by live unuknowvn persotus, at the house of Mir..1itnmes Il. Uossett, otne of our most~ valuted and amiable citizens. It appours that the ptartius sttolo noise lessly up to thte house and fired o no shot. I hrought the window in the di ftectiof of M~Ir. (Gossott's bod, where he was hying, the ball striking about six meches directly over Mar. (J.'s head.

One foot track wats undoubtedly that of a negro, barefooted, and1( mteasuredl elevent incohes ; anid tanother track waus about thme size of an ordinary No. 71 boot.
