end of a celebrated case. Young Natt Acquitted of the Harder of Bakes. PlTTSBUBQ, Pa., January 22.?The trial of James Natt for the murder of N. L. Dates, which began on the 14th instant, closed this 'morning, the jury rendering a verdict of not guilty. The circumstances which led to the shooting of Dukes are as follows: Nich? olas Lyman Dukes, who was 33 years old when he was killed in June last, was & resident of Uniontown, a; village in Western Pennsylvania. He was a grad? uate of Princeton College, of the class of 1878, was a practicing lawyer, and in November, 1882, was elected to the State Legislature. At that time he was en gaged to be married to Miss Lizzie Nutt, a handsome young lady, the daughter of Captain Adam C. Nutt. Captain Nutt was 42 years old. He had served during j the war as a private and as captain, was j subsequently admitted to the bar, and later became cashier of the National Bank of Fayette County. In 1881 he resigned that position to accept the office of cashier of the State Treasury. He resided in the suburbs of _ Union town with his- wife, his daughter Lizzie, his son James Nutt, who had not reached his twenty-first year, and several younger children. On December 4,1832, Dukes wrote to Captain Nutt a letter, in which he ac? cused Miss Nutt of. the most serious im? proprieties, stated that he himself had been intimate with her, and concluded by declining to marry her on account of what he termed her notoriously bad character* In reply to this Captain Nutt wrote a letter stating that he would de? fend- bis daughter's character with his lifo if necessary, and threatening Dukes with punishment if he did not marry her. * > Shortly before. 11 o'clock on the morn? ing of Sunday, December 24,1882, Cap? tain Nutt sent his nephew, Clark Breck enndge, his successor as cashier of the National Bank of Fayette County, to the room of Dukes, in the Jennings House at Uniontown, to tell him that he (CapL Nutty wished to speak to him. The message had hardly been delivered when Captain Nutt, who had followed his nephew, poshed his way into Dukea's room and shut the-door, leaving Breck enridge in the corridor without. A scuffle took place, cries of "murder" were heard and Mr. Breck en ridge, a porter and the son of the proprietor of the hotel rushed into the room to find the two men struggling. They were separated, Dukes being pushed into a corner and Captain Nutt, who was physically the weaker of the two, being led to the mantel piece, against; which be leaned, panting from exhaustion. As the two men stood in these respective positions, Dukes drew a revolver' and sent a bullet into Captain Nutt'a brain. Captain Nutt fell dead. . It was. claimed by Dukes that at the time he: fired Captain Nutt was in the act of drawing a revolver from his pocket. Dukes surrendered himself and was ad? mitted to bail in $12,000. His trial began March 10,1883, and ended March 14 in his acquittal. Judge Wilson, who presided, expressed from the bench h:s dissatisfaction with the verdict.- The community: was indignant at the verdict, and Dukes and the members of the jury were burned in effigy. Nearly all the members of the bar in Fayette County signed a. petition for the disbarment of Dukes, and the feeling against him was so strong that he resigned the seat in the | Legislature to which he had been elected. On the evening of June 13, 1883, Dukes was on his way to the postoffice in Uniontown, when James Nutt, the son of the mau he had killed, fired two shots at him from the doorway of an unoccu? pied store. Dukes ran towards the post office with young Nutt following, and three more shots were fired. On the steps of the postoffice Dukes fell dead. One bullet had passed through his heart, two more had entered his body within an inch of the heart and a fourth bullet had grazed his ankle. Young Nutt was im mediately arrested. As early as 7 o'clock this morning all the entrances to the Court House were besieged by crowds. The doors opened at 9 o'clock and crowds of people were wedged into the narrow passageway and moved up stairs and soon filled the Court Boom. Promptly at 9.30 Judge S to we ordered the Court opened and the pris? oner was escorted to bis seat in rear of I his counsel. He was carefully dressed, but his face gave evidence of the mental strain to which he bad been subjected. He had slept very little last night. At 9.57 the jury filed in, and as they seated themselves the silence that prevailed was oppressive. After answering to their names the Judge said: "Gentlemen of the jury, have you decided upon a ver? dict?" They replied, "We have." The Judge then said: "Prisoner at the bar, stand up." Nutt, who was very weak and much affected, attempted to rise to his feet, but had to be assisted by one of ] the Court officers. "Gentlemen, what is your verdict ?" asked the Court, to which the foreman replied: "Not guilty on ac? count of insanity at the time the act was committed." The crowd, which had been restrained, then gave vent to its approval in a loud cheer, which the immense crowd on the outside took up from those inside. Order was restored, and the Judge sent Nutt to jail until to-morrow when, in accordance with the motion of his counsel, a com? mittee will examine him as to his present mental condition. Nutt was taken back to'his cell. Mrs. Nutt and Miss Lizzie were not present. The jury, were out ten hours. After their discharge an effort was made to in. terview them, but they positively de clinedjto give any information as to how they stood up to the time of the final ballot, as they had sworn not to divulge the secrets of the jury room. It is ascer? tained, however, that four ballots were taken during the night, and that the con? clusion was not reached until 7 o'clock this morning. When the first ballot was taken three jurors favored a verdict of J guilty as indicted,, three plain "not guilty" and the others not guilty because insane. The verdict meets with approval on all rides, and a special from Union town says it was received there with great rejoicing. Congratulatory dispatches are pouring in on the Nutt family and tbo counsel for the defence from all parts ot the country. James Nntt will not re? turn to Uniontown. Pittsburg, January 23.?The hearing as to James Nutt's present mental con? dition, took place this morning before Judge Stowe and resulted in the prison? er's release. Doctors Wylie, Hurououd, Beatty and Christy were examined and all agreed that at the present time Nutt was of sound mind and fully responsible, and thought that it would be perfectly safe to restore him to liberty. He was then discharged, and after receiving the congratulations of those present repaired to Major Brown's office, where his mother, sister and other relatives had gathered to receive him. On the way he was tendered a perfect ovation. Hun? dreds of people followed in front of and behind him. Old men patted him on the back. Women crowded around him, and children pushed and shoved to get a look at the boy made famous by the great trial. The scene in Major Brown's office was very affecting. Nutt's mother and sister wept bitterly as they threw their arms around him and the joy they ex? pressed seemed to know no bounds. A number of jurors who satin judgment on Nutt were admitted and shook his hands warmly, one remarking: "Jimmy, if they do anything to you in Fayctte send them down and we will see to them." By this time the crowd on the outside was so large that it was found necessary to call officers to clear the streets. The family was, then driven to Major Brown's house for dinner, and this afternoon at 4 o'clock all will return to their home at Uniontown, where James will be' tender? ed a reception. It was the intention at first to send the young man to his.uncle's near Brownsville for a few days; but the plans have been changed, and he,will go home with his mother. A special to the Pott from Uniontown says: James Nutt was met at the depot by a crowd of 800 parsons, and was wild? ly cheered. He was at once driven home, where be Intends remaining qui? etly. A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT. The Young Man?Death?The Thrse Mes? sengers. One evening, says the allegory, a young man was sitting in his little cottage, talking with his wife about their future. He wm poor as to money, but had the wealth of a good and strong constitution, and able and willing to work. He was bleat with a good mind, and full of ener? gy and industry. Sitting in his lap was his little son who had not numbered his first twelve months. Tbe young mother was busy with her needle. -Just then a knock was heard at the front door, and a cordial and free invitation was given to come in. A neighbor, thought the young couple. But much to their alarm in walked death. Fixing his eyes upon tho ycung man he said in an authori? tative manner: "Young man, I have come for you and shall make you a citizen of my ? eilent kingdom." "Have Mercy 1" Exclaimed the young man. "You have mistaken the house, and certainly must have come for my old and rich neighbor whom you have permitted to journey on life's course, over three score year- and ten. Go take him, and spare me." "I make no mistakes. I came for you. I respect neither age, circumstances nor condition. Come go!" Said the young man in terror and de? spair: "Let me reason with you I Let me plead my case 1 Hear my petition for a longer life." Death said: "Speak on and let me hear your case. I do sometimes relent, for a season, at least." Said the young man : "In the first place, I think you have come too soon for me. I have just start? ed life, and there you see my young wife, and here in my lap is our little babe. Would you make her a widow eo soon, and; my. babe fatherless ? Besides, here I is my little home, I have just bought; my prospects in life are fair and inviting. Would you blight all in a moment? I am young, strong and healthy, and I thought I had a good many yean yet ahead of me; are my hopes to be thus blasted ? Let me mature my plans, and see my boy grow up to man's estate, so that he will be able to take care of his mother; and the last, but not least, reason I have is this: "I have not made that preparation I should have made for so important a journey as you would send me on. I have neglected my bouI's greatest interest, in looking at and thinking of my tempo I ral. I am unprepared for you, 0 Death! ! Neither am I ready to meet my Creator." Death arose from where he Bat and said: i "Young man you have stated your case and condition fairly, and with good reasons; I will leave this time without you, but mark me well, I will return at some future day, but I will hear no rea? sons?you must then go. But before I come again I will send you three messen? gers?each will tell you I am coming take care that you heed them." "I will I I will!" exclaimed the young man, "and thank you for your kindness in now going, and your generous consid? eration in sending me notice." Time rolled on. The young man grew to middle age and in time old age came upon him. His life had been a success so far as to the accumilation of wealth and of comfort and luxuries. Affluence, children and grand children bad blessed his declining years. One pleasant evening, sitting- at his ease and comfort in his elegant home, with a little grandson playing about him he heard a ring at the door bell. Too old and stiff to go to the door, he called the visitor to come in. In stepped Death. "What!" exclaimed the old man, "come so soon." "Yes," answered Death, who, eyeing his old acquaintance, added: "I have come for you, as I promised." "Promised!" said the old man. ' Yes, you promised to warn me beforehand by sending me three messengers before you yourself would come in person and I have not seen one of them." "I sent them," said Death, "and if you did not heed them it was not my fault." "When did you send your messengers, for I have not the faintest recolection of their coming!" rejoined the old man. "I sent them," answered Death ; "and if they came quietly and gently, remind? ed you in looks and touches, you should have heeded their silent but expressive admonitions." "Explain yourself," said the old man, "for I do not understand. You talk in riddles or fables." "Easily enough done," said Death. "When I first came you were a young man; your hair was black as a raven's wing?now it is grey, and your locks are thinned by age. That was my first mes? senger. Thoso eyes of yours were bright and undimmcd by age ; now I see you use glasses to aid your failing sight. That was my second messenger. That form of yours was stout atd strong, un? bent by years; now you totter as you walk and lean upon your cane for t ip port. That was my third messenger. Your babe, whom I saw in your lap, has grown to man's estate and is himself a father and your grandchildren remind you that your years have not been few." "But bear me," said the man, "what you have said is very true; but my careB and business affairs have been so great that I have neglected to make prepara? tions for so important and serious a jour? ney. I have made no preparation to meet you 0 Death, though I knew you were coming at some future time, but not so soon. I am not prepared to meet my Creator and Judge now. Give me a little more time?just a few years more, will you not?" "No," answered Death, "if you failed to attend to so great a matter for so long a time, the fault is yours, not mine. I warned you before but you heeded not; you must now go, prepared or unpre? pared, and the consequences be upon your own immortal soul. Come!" and laying his cold hand upon the old man, his soul departed.?Sunny South. Tbe Dogs' Dressmaker. A visitor to the etablishment of Ma? dame Ledouble, the famous dog-modiste in tbe Palais Royal, says that all day long a serieB of pugs and smooth-haired terriers arrive at her salons to try on their garments and have their paletots fitted. As they have occasionally, like their owners, to await their turns, small mats and rugs are scattered over the waxed floors, so that the little dogs may be com? fortable while anticipating their interview with their modiste. They have several changes of dress in their wardrobe, which they wear according to tbe hour or the temperature of the day. When they take their morning walk in the Bois with their mistress the "cor? rect thing" is a paletot of dark blue cloth, warmly lined with red flannel, and a military gorget coming high up under the leather collar, which is hung with bells. The monogram of the dog's mis-' tress is no longer embroidered on one corner of tbe paletot. That is out of date?and why should a little dog be out of the fashion ? So mortifying, you know, when it sees other doggies carrying their monograms in tbe middle of the back, the "correct" place. To complete this morning toilet a bunch of violets ia fast? ened on the left shoulder. On mild days the little creatures have "Excelsior" paletots in dark green cloth, lined with bright yellow silk and em? broidered in silk of the color of the lining. The monogram is worked in similar silk. The collar is black velvet, with gilt bells pendant from it. On very cold days the paletot is seal? skin, with handsome buttons, and the pampered little things wear fur collars mounted in silver. For traveling a tar? tan paletot is de rigueur, with harness of red leather, having detachable reins.? London Truth. Tobacco and the Yolco. While tobacco is now well knowo to injure the system in every possible way, and to an extent not generally apprecia? ted, the voice k affected more than may I be supposed. It may not be of much use to warn the enslaved victim of tobacco to give it up, having, as a general princi? ple, La; much decision of character by its degrading influence; but it may be well to warn the young, who may be will? ing to receive advice from older persons. The effect on the voice may be a little more apparent than upon certain other organs. On this point there is the best medical authority in decided condemna? tion. Dr. Allen aays: "Tobacco injures tbe voice, of which any one can be con? vinced by observing the harsh, thick, husky, mumbling, and insonorous voice of tbe confirmed tobacco user." Prof. Mueso says: "The habitual use of tobacco in any of its forms produces a harsh, squeaking condition of tbe voice." Dr. Woodward, well known in connection with the Massachusetts Lunatic Asylum, is even more direct in his opposition to the use of the poison, declaring that "every cace of bronchitis and loss of voice is either directly caused or aggravated by the habitual use of tobacco." The testi? mony of such men, of great attainments in medical science?men of experience and observation?is entitled to considera? tion.? Golden Rule. ? A Montana postmaster, who ar? ranges tbe mails for tbe little town of Birnery, lives eighty miles from a Nota? ry Public. When he sent in the first quarterly report he administered the oath to himself and then certified to the cor? rectness of the account. A reply came back from the red-tape headquarters at Washington, that he had violated a sacred precedent and must get a Notary Public to swear him. His retort was that he knew no precedent that would assure him mileage aud traveling expenses for 160 miles in order to get a Notary's sig? nature. This loft tbe Department not a leg to stand upon and they have since observed a discreet silence and allowed tbe Montana man to swear as he pleases. Did She Die ?

The reading farmer is always known by the thrift and comfort of his homo. His home has not the appearance of a mere lodging place, but it has a comfort? able look, and in most cases is surround? ed with trees and is ornameuted with shrubs and flowers. In many cases a closely mown lawn surrounds the house, giving, as it does to comparatively cheap buildings, an air of elegance and refine? ment seldom seen except in suburban homes. The reading farmer is also known by the convenient arrangement of the house and barns. These will be found to be arranged so as to save steps. The time lost by inconveniently arranged build? ings on the farm is generally under-esti? mated* by farmera who do not read. Reading begets thought, and thought begets action in the right direction. There is no reason why farm life should not be more attractive than it is. A few more books and papers will do much as esaential aids in solving the deaired prob? lem."' The reading farmer is known by hia words and works.?Planter's Journal. The Red Sunsets Explained.
