The following is a britt hisiory ofthe case : Bepi«min Guchonour, administrator of Chris¬ tian Newewenger, dec'd. coltecicd ibe share duf hia wile who woa a daughter of aaid dec'd. A' the lime he received the money he reronrkeii' " It ia my wife Barbara's and is to be here."— Benjamin Gochenour died. inieBiate but aoivent, leaving Barbara bis widow, wbo claimed from his eatate the share at'orceaid. Tbe administrators refused to pay it until tho right to the same should be deiermined. Accordingly ihe wid>w excepted to the administration account, making the non-payment ofthe share aforesaid one ofa series oi exceptions. These were referred to an Auditor to pasa upon and make distribution of tbe balance otthe money among those legally entitled thereto. The Auditor sustained the claim: 30 did the Court below.: and the Su¬ preme Court affirmed tbe decree,—thus awardv ing the money to tha widow, Barbara Goche¬ nour- A. Herr Smith for widow, who was ap¬ pellee ; I. E. Hiester and N. EUmaker for ap pellants ; Jobn h. Thompson, Esq.| for accoun- lonrs.

Thb opinion of [he Court waa delivered by Woodward, J.
Under the terms of the Acta of Asaembly re¬ lating to the jurisdiciion and powera of the Or¬ phans' Courts, and the opinion of ibis Court in Kittera's Ejtate, 5. H. 422, it ia not to be doubt¬ ed ibai tbe Orphans' Court ofLancaster had ju¬ risdiction of the widow's claim in this case.— The eecond and more iraporiant queaiion is, ¦ whether, under the circumstances, in proof be¬ foro the Auditor, the money claimed was eo re¬ duced into posaesaion by the husband as to be¬ come hiH proper'.y. It it was, the widow haa no title to it;—if it was uot, her right survived and may be asserted in the Orphan's Court.
Tbe money came into his hands as administra¬ tor of Christian Newswenger, ol whom Barbara was a daughterand heir; and to ber, Gochenour
Blood in ihe double rolation of husband and trus¬ tee.
In Baker va, Hail 12. Vesey 497, where an Ex¬ ecutor entered into puBseefiion of the real aud personal esiaiea ofthe leatQior—married ouo ol tho residuary devisees under the wilt, and died leaving her surviving hira, it was held by Sir William Grant, Master of [he Rolls, that the husband musl bo considered to have entered in¬ to pusscEaiou as iniatee and executor of thc will only, and nut aa husband ; and therelore his wjfp's pbarc ui the rc6id:.'C rould not be deemed sufficiently reduced into poasession aoasio pre¬ vent its surviving lo her upon his decease. And in Wall VE. Tomlinson, 16. Vesey 413, it was said that the transfer ofsiock to a husband mere¬ ly as trustee cannot be regarded as a reduction into poBseasion ihai will cntule his representa¬ tives.
Il was made dtrcrfio tre(«itu. If the husband take poBaeesion, aaya Ch. Kent 2d- Com. 139, in tbe character uf trustee, and not ot husband, it is not luch a possessiou aa wilt bat the right of a wife if she survive him. The property musl come under the actual control and possession ot the husband, <;ua3t husband, or the wite will lake aa aurvivar instead of the personal repre¬ sentatives of tbe bubband.
This disunction has been fully adopted in PenosyUania, anda serica of well considered caies carrying out thc principle to ita logical re^ suit, haa eisi&bli&hed that reduction into posECs- sion EO aa to work a change ol ownership, is a queetion ot intention, to be inquired of upon all Ihe circuraatances. Conversion is not reduc¬ tion into posstsdion, but only evidence of it; and thereli/re conversion maybe explained by other evidence, negativing the intention to re¬ duce lo podaesBion in euch manner as to transter tbe liile. According to these cases, marriage is ireaiedaaonly a conditional gilt of the wife;' choses inaction—or, to speak more accurately, a gift to the husband of her power to dispose ol them to himself or any one else by force of the dominion lo which be has succeeded ss the rep¬ resentative of her person ;—and because the gift is conditional he has a right to rejeci It by refu¬ sing to perform the condition. The law does not cast it upon him beyond his power ol resis¬ tance, for every gift requires the ascent oftho donee, and hence clear proof that a husband re¬ ceived his wife's money as a loan, or a disclaim¬ er of intention to make it his own property, pro ved by his admiasions will preserve her right of survivorship.

It wae said in Gray's case that such admis' siona as a medium of proof are to be scanned with extreme vigilance ; and to prevent the con sequences of misapprehension or mistake on tbe pan of wimeeses, it is necesaary that tbey be deliberate, preciae, clear, and consisieni witb each other ; not inconsiderate, vague or discra* pant;—a rule founded in the experienced uncer¬ tainties of parol proof and moat necessary to bo continually applied.
Besides Ihe implications from the fiduciary character of Gochenour, we have in this case hit declarations ond admissions, made, not in casu¬ al conversations after receipt and conversion ol the money, but in tbe very act of receiving it,
I anon louno, nowevcr, that the "dreorit'ul thing" was ilie subject of convrrsation all s'l-'ul me, and by aimply listening, I gained an insight into lbs mystery. It eecmed that there was to be a trial for murder there on the next day, and ihat the criminal was a young blackamlth who had heen horn and brought up in the town, and who, until the present time, had ^lorne a char¬ acter above reproach. I endeavored to find out tbe partlcular-1, but t could learn little upon which to depend, for diffdrent people gave differ¬ ent accounis, end all who knew anything of iho matter were too much excited to speak culmiy. Tbe murder had iranspired only about a week be¬ fore, and consequently, ibe event waa fresh in the minds of the people. The only facia ihal came to me upon whica I could rely were, ihat a mid¬ dle aged man named Mathew Hampton, had been murdered and robbed, and that Abel Ad' ams, the young blackemith, had been arreated for the crime nd would be irJed on the morrow. Some said that the murdered man's money, to lbs amount of over two thousand dollara, had been found upon ibe young man's person, but othersdonied thla fact. Yet all sympathized withthe prisoner. He waa beloved by all his townamen, and bul tow of ifaem could believe anything ol the reports thai had crept into cir¬ culation. Aa I waa in no particular hasie, I resolved to
remain in M until the trial had come off; so
I went and erased my name from the stage-book where I had placed it, and then informed mine host of my determination.
Onthe following morning at an early hour, the peupie began to flock towarda the court¬ house, and I saw that if I would secure a place I must join the crowd. I did so, and at lengih found myself within the building, and as good fortune would have it I made a stand nearthe prisoner's box. Ten o'clock waa the hour set for opening the court, and before thai time every conceivable standing-place outside of the dock was fiyled. Staginga were erected upon the out¬ side under the windows, and these, loo were crowded.
Atthe appointed time the court came in,and the prisoner was ci'nducted to the box. Said prisoner wae not more than five-and-twenty yearsof age, and he poasessed one of the moat pleasing countenances I ever saw—it' was one of ihow bold, frank faces, full of noble courage snd good nature—just auch an one as is unbesi- latingly taken as ihe index toa pure and gener¬ ous soul. He waa a stout, athletic man, and carried the palm at every wrestling match in ths country. I thought within myself that that man W&3 no murderer. And yet, wo know not lo what extremities a man may sometimes be driv¬ en. Young Adams was quite pale, and hij ne¬ ther lip quivering as he found the gaze ot the multitude fixed upon him ; but hia eye was bright and quick, not decant, hut bold and hope lui in its deep blue light.
. The trial commenced. The complaint was clear and distinct eeiiiog forth the fact that the prisoner, Abel Adama, " did, wiih malice afore¬ thought-" etc.. kill, etc., on such a day, one Matthew Hampton—in the first place by a rik- ing hira upon the head with aome heavy blunt weapon—and in ths second place by stabbing aim in the breast, etc. To all this the prisoner pleaded " not guilty.'' From the first testimo¬ ny called up I learned the following facts:
Near sundown, one afternoon, about a week previous, Matthew Hampton stopped at the shop ofthe prisoner co get his horse shod. This Hampton was a wealthy farmer, and his estate lay to the southward, near ihe Tennessee line, and only about filteen miles distant from M-—. He was known to have had some two thousand dollars with him at that ume—money which he had received at Columbia for corn. It -la* nearly dusk whenhe started from the priaouor^fi thop. He look out his pockei-book to pay fur ihe j.)b of shoemg his hon-. Thia he did with¬ in ibe ahop, and two persons were preaent who now testified to ibe fuct, and alao that when iLe puckei-book was opened a large bunch of bank notes was exposed. About an hour«fier Hamp¬ ton lelt, tbe prisoner came out from hid shop and went to his stable, and having saddled his Seot- t:si horae he mounted and started ofi at a lull gallop in the direction Hampton had laken-
Nexi came two wiinesaes—'* Mr. Simple and Mr.Jurdan," both of them respectable cnizens
uf M , who teatified aa follows: They bad
tjeen into the edge of Tennessee on business, and were returning home. At about nine o'clock on the evening in queaiion, they came to a point in ibe road where a.high bluff overlooked the way, and while passing ihia tbey were startled by seeing s^jmething In the moonlighi which looked like a man. They at once dismounted, and found that what they had seen was the body of Matthew Hampton, all gote-covered and ' bleeding. Tbey had not been there more than a mimite, when they were joined by a third man, who said ihai he saw the murder committed, and tbe murderer had fled towards M-——. Simple and Jordan both recognized ihis new¬ comer aa one Henry Bigler, and though big character was by no means of the most exem¬ plary kind, yet that waa no time for discussion. The body oi Hampton waa still worm, so that the murderer could not have been gone long.— Bigler had no horse, so Mr^ Simple agreed to remain by ihe body, white Jordan and Bigler went in ^pursuit of the murderer. They put iheir horees to the top of their speed, and in hall an hour ihey overtook the prisoner, whom Big¬ ler at once pomied out es (he man. Jordan
bejudco shook his head, and the lawyers shook their heads, and the jury looked troubled and nn.Tiou8. The prisoner's counsel did all be could to esiablish his client's good character, and also to impeach the cbaracior of Bilger, but he could relute none of the testimony that hnd been giv-

and there he was placed in the hands of the
sheriff* and upon examining his person, Mr.
Hampion'fi pocket'buok, containing iha two
and which seem lo answer all iho conditiona of | !'^°""'»°'* dollars,,.was found upon him, and hi.
the above rule. Thus Barr, who saw him re ceive $415 of tho money iu 1850, swears ihai he declared al the time "it is my wile Barbarr's, and ilia tobe bera,"—and Ann Newswanger,' apeaking ofthe money begot from ihe notes and articles bought at tbe vendue amounting to $700, reports him as saying, »-he would lake this money dnd pay his debts on which he was paying interest, but that ii waa Barbara's money and should be hers*" Anna Kline thinks she. was present three limes when Gochenour got money, and every time she heard him say ft waa his wife's and ahould be hers. She saw bun count tha $700-ho .aid it was his wife Barbara's—he owtd iiand was going to pay ii oui-heodghi'ui almoat to take it to pay his debts. ' It cannot be doubled ibti such declara. tions imported an iniention to convert iha mon¬ ey to his uaa as his wife', money and not h.s own;-ihat ia. they explain the act of conver¬ sion consistently wab bia intention that it should survive lo her and not he co reduced into bu. poBBtaaion as tu exiiuguiah her right, I.

hands were also covered with blood.
At this juncture tho excitement in the Uttle court room was intense. The crowded mass swayed lo and tto Uke wind-swept grain—mur¬ murs broke the sanctity of tbe place—murmurs loud and deep—and it was some minuter ere anything like order could bo restored- At length Henry Bilger was called upon the stand.
He was known by most oftho people in M ,
and though nothing positive waa known against him ofa criminal nature, yet he waa kno.wn to be a reckless, wandering fellow, flpmetimea trading in slaves, sometimes driving a flai-boat dowiiihe Missiisippi. He stepped upon the' wi^ness'a block with a comiplaisant bow, and he gave in his tesiimouy clearly and diatincily.
He said hfl was coming down the road towards M— on fool^and when near the bluff he beard tbe aoiind bfa slruggle, accompanied by load groaiia a'ndenireatiefi. He sprang forward, and arrived jtiatio season to aoa the prisoner leap, into hia saddle and tide off.; The moon was Bhioingatth«time,-Bo4w eould not faavfl boen mistaked.

Bilger was croM-qaestloiied very severely, but his tesiimony waa noi to be.flawed. 'Ho waatzplicJL mail hia hiaeiatiJmeniA,'vid'a; ihe: same time:ha.profeiMd to fael a" deep: regret Ihat b6 wao-called upon to testify againat a man ibr wbifa he foltto much respew iui -toa did for

When the judge came to charce the jury, he •poke of the preciseneaa of the testimony ogainsi the prisoner, and of the corroborative circum- siancee, Wiih regard to the prisoner's 8tor>» he said that it was very simple, and sounded very much like truth ; but be wf.uld have the jury remember how eaaily such stories could be made.
It was long alter dark when the jury retired tp make up their verdict. They were gone half an hour, and when ihey returned, the foreman ahowed by the very hue of his countenance that tho verdict was (o be fatal! All saw it, and I could hear the throbbing of ihe hundred hearts Ihat beat about me.
"Gentlemenof thejury, have you made up a verdici V
•* Wo have."
" Shall your foreman apeak for me!"
" Yes."
" Abel Adams, stand up and look the fore¬ man in the face. Mr. Foreman look at the pris¬ oner. Now, sir, is Abel Adams, the prisoner at the bar, guilty of murder, or not 7"
Hark .' The first syllable of the word "Guil¬ ty** is upon the loreman's lips, but he speaks it not. Thoae who yet crowd about the windows shout with all their might, and in a momert more a man crowda his way into the court-room* He hurries up and wispers to the sheriff—theo he goes tothe bench and whispers to the judge. Henry Bilger siarts up and moves towards the door, but in au instant the hand of the sheriff is upon him. All is excitement the most intense. Directly the mass about the door begins io give way, and four men are seen bearing upon iheir shoulders a chair—a large stuffed cbair~and in that sits Matthew Hampton—not dead, but alive. True, he ia pale and ghastly, but his eyea are open and hia lips move. At length the chair is Bet down before the bench, and the old phyai¬ cian of M asks permieaion to apeak. As
soon as this ac: becomes known all ig quiet once more.
The physician aays tbat nfiitherof the wounds which Mr. Hampton had received are mortal, though he at firat thought they were. The blow upon the head, and tfae stab in ihc breast, com¬ bined 10 prodace a slate of catalepsy which -re¬ sembled death so nearly that many an experienc¬ ed person might have been deceived. When he gave out thai Mr. Hampton was dead, he thought it was so. But when hc found that Hampton was living, he kept the secret to him¬ self, for fear thai if the truth got out a certain man. whose presence was much nreded, mighi be missing.
Ai Ibis joncture, Mr. Henry Bilger made a savage attempt to break away from tho sheriff, but it did not avail bim. The jury were direct¬ ed IO return to their box, and then Matihew Hampton was reqiiesied lo speak- He waa too. weak to rise, but bespoke plainly, and in a man¬ ner that showed his mind to be clear- He Btated that when be reached tbe bluff, on the night ofbis disaster, he discovered that his pocket-book was gono. Ho stopped hia horse, and was trying to think where he could bave lost it, when aome one came up from ths side road* He had just time to see that it was Hen¬ ry fiilger, when he received a blow upon the head from a c!ub that knocked him from his horse. Then he felt a sharp. Btinging. burning pain in the bosom, and with a momentary start¬ ing o! the muscles he opened his eyes. He saw that Bilger was stooping over him, and ransack¬ ing bis pockets. He could just remember ot hearing lho distant gallop of a horse—then he thought hia body waa being dragged to the road¬ side—and after that he couIg remember noihintt ' until be awoke in his own house, and found the.' doctor by his bed-aide.
For a littlo while longer ihe multitude had to restrain themselvea, I remember ihai the judg- eaid something to ihe jury, and ihat the jury whispered together for a moment. Then the prisoner stood up onco more, and the foreman of the jury said—" Not Gijilty 1*'
Then burst forth the beari-aliouts of the peo¬ plo, Abel Adama sank back upon his seat, bU( in a moment more be waa seized by a score of stout men, and with wild and rending fhouts they bore him out into the free, pure air, where the bright stars looked down and smiled upon him. A little way had they gone when ihoy met a young woman, whose long hair was flying in the night wind, and who wrung her hands in agony. Tbey. stopped and set iheir burden down. Abel Adams aaw the womani and he sprang lorward and caught her to bis bosom.
'* Mary—Mary—I am innocent—innocent— frea!"
The wife did not speak. She only clung wildly to her nob lo husband and wept npon :hi8 bosom.
A wagon body was lorn from its axleirees— the blacksmith and bi. wife were placed therein and then they were borne away towarda their home, and long after they had paased from my sight I could hear the glad shouts of the impul¬ sive people, waking the night air, and reverber, aiing among tbe distant bluffs.
On tbeneximorning,i>efore tho stage started' I learned that Matthew Hampton bad determin¬ ed to make the young blacksmith accept of one thousand dollars whether he waa willing or not.
Two weeka afterwards, while sitting in th, office of my hotel, at Cincinnati, I received i
newspaper from . Henrv Bilger had
been hanged, and on the gallows he acknowl edged hia guilt. Matthew Hampion waa slowly recovering, ana ihe blackamitb had, after much expostulation, accepted the thonsand dollars from Hampton's bounty.
so as not to approach the laat routing place of ihcir departed Iriends.
This growing dread at length became insuffer¬ able; and | engaged all minds. There chanced to be in (he village, a ynuthot nineteen, J*rom Weaiern New York, whose domesiic educaiion had carefully excluded nil faith inaupernalural agencies, and who iherofote, looked only to nat¬ ural cflUi-es for explonatipns ot the events and occurrences ot this Ufe. Thisyouth resolved to la thom the mystery of the grave yard ghost.— He found onv. osaociaie ; and the two aHer nigbi- fall secreted (hemaelves among the tombs, to ob¬ serve. Punciually, as ihe hour of twelve drew nigh, the ghost which had caused eo much dread waa seen approaching. Tbe moon wae shining brightly, and the while robed object was floen moat'distinctly. Overcoming two fences, thia entered the grave-yard within actual reach of tho youth who had set on toot thc investiga¬ tion, and, as ihe tight fell fully upon the face of the ghost, he recognized the well-known fea-, lures of an acquaintance, who was thon tn her early widowhood. Her husband had recently been buried there, and so dreadful hod been (he shock, that the reason of tho wife had been dethroned by it, sad ahe was now a wandering maniac. She saw not her observers, but seated herself, as she was wont, upon the grave ofhim sho had loved but too fondly. Tho two then approached the unfortunate and addreased bar in kindness. She knew thera nol, but conversed freely with them; calling them angels and crav¬ ing their protection. She was in her night cloihes, and hor wandering thus through the agony she bad suffered, and her nightly occupy¬ ing this sad seat, had converted ihot poor mental wreck of humanity into a ghoat. On thia occa¬ sion she could not be induced to abandon her poet, and of necessity she was left there to com, pletc the hours of thai nightly pilgrimage.

ifD"A correspondent of ihe Philadelphia In-' quirer Blares that a slave formerly owned by General Waahington, and now one hundred and i twenty years old, la living in Fayette county, Pennsylvania. Thia Hisiliry is aaid to be well amhenticated. He was brought in a alave shiP from the coaat of Guinea to the port of Philadel- ' phia-, somewhere between the year 1760nnd'70, and was purchased, tugeiher wiih nine others, : for farm hands on the Mount Vernon Eaiaie. then owned by Col. Geo. Washington,- {already a man of note in the Colonic?, from hia eerviccB in thc French and Indian wars.) His name in hia native coantry was Funtemah. but at Mount Vernon they gave him the leas barbarous appel¬ lation'of Simon, to which he afterwards added the name of Washmgtonin honor of his good master. Simon continued to reside at Mount Vernon until ihe tlrad of the Revolution, when with others, he wae sent out to a tract of land in Fayeite county. Pa., owned by Gen, Washine- ton, to assist in the erection oi a mill. After la¬ boring here for some years, be wae eold to Bra. zil Brown, from whom the town ol Brownaville is named, and he sold him lo Col. Edward Cook, in whose service he remained aa long aa he was recognized aa a slave.
The beer, (especially Lager beer) statistics of Si. Louis, for the last seaaon. instated by the St' Louia/rt£e/i{gcncer aa follows : "St. Louis has about twenty-four breweries, and every one ol them had siored nearly twice the quantity of "ale" for this summer tbat had been made in the preceding one. As we are informed by one of tbe largest dealers of this article, ihe quantity may be aafely reckoned at forty thousand bar rels oi lager heer. By an average count, one barrel of ihirty gallons gives about three hundred £/cs«c.«,thus we have about twelve millioTia of {•lasses of tagor beer and about six millions of common beer ; in all eighteen million glasses o' beer drank in St. Louis Irum the Ist of March last up to the I7ih of Scpteitrber, the time the lager heer gavo out. Cummon beer is sold at 5ve dollars per barrel and lager beer seven dol¬ lars, that is, at wholesale ; this wilt make tho amount received by the brewers for' lager beer, 3290 000. and for common, f 100,000—together say. S380.000. The retaitera, at five cents a glass, took in $600,000 for lager beer and $300,- 000 for tha common arlicle. Just ihink ol it. Nearly a miUion ofdollars ($900 000) spent in St Louis, during one summer, for beer! And that chiefly among the Germans themselves !

WEEDst—If every farmer will look over his grounds he will find that tbe list of really trou¬ blesome weeds is'qaite small, although there are thousands of apeciea of difierent plants, which migbt all become weeds. Why are they not ail so ! Simply because -they have no seed in the soil. In some parts ofthe world* ourweeds are entirely unknown. Why f They have not the seed. Now if otber countries have notour weeds, ehould «« hcve'them, if we were only to ridourselvesof the weeds r If only aforiieih partof our plants have beensuQared to. get in and drop their Beeda, and become troublesome weeds; why should we keep out thirty nine lor- lieihs, and let ihe other fraction over-run us ?— In China and in some pans ol Flandets, the fields are entirely free irom weeds—the result of Iqog. cof^ttnaed, cleanly ¦ calitvatioo. If the French are not uopbled with our.red-root« why should not we try fur the same exemption f If the £DglJab are unacquainted with our chcsss, why can we not enjoy, the same privilege? ; If & single couiity' io )^ennaylvani& has neVer xnisedapl&nt of the Canada thistio, why ntay pot.AU the couDlieain.the Unioo'become equally free I They may-rnf they.wiJl only reraeniber ihe.ephorism, that "Reprice bf this freedom is eiBnwl tigilwicc,"^

Adulteration of Coffee.—It is very true that a person here does not know what he drinks or eats, unless he uses pure water for hia bever¬ age and buys his meat of an honest butcher.— Wliat with tho flesh of overdriven and diseased animals, adulterated wines and liquors aod coffee and condiments and bread, to say nothing of sham druga and medicines, the purchassrs of cheap articles are the victims of a set of shar¬ pers who have grown up in less favored landa.
Chicory root end roasted acorns 'are imported and sold to a large amount with ground coffee, which they are made to resemble in color, as they do somewhat in flavor, by being roasted and ground. Chicory is eold by ilja cask at four cents per pound, a price which is richly remu¬ nerative at the present prices of coffee. Fortu¬ nately it has no injurious effects, but on the con¬ trary, it is eaid to be a gentle aperient, and probably is less hurtful than coffee itseli, which, for nervous and dyepectic persons, t's, though temporarily exhilarating, a perfect bane to the digestive organs and nervous system. The Turks, Arabs, Spanish, French, Spanish Amer¬ icans and Brazilians, who indulge freely in the use of coffee and tobacco, are particularly sub¬ ject lo billious and nervoua diseases, and we have known invalids addicted to their use resto¬ red to perfect heaitb by abitainine entirely from ihem. ¦ The acorn coffee is said to act as a'tontc-: If wo are to use these things at all why. should not grocers odvertise and sell them pura as ar¬ ticles of merchandise T Our Government has decided to prevent ibis spurious traffic by all le¬ gal means.
According (o Dr. Ure. no process in science is simpler, or more certain, than tha detection of chicory, or of similar BobstanceB, in coffee powdcr. Ground roasted coffee imparts to cold water a pale sherry color; whereaa, when it is adulterated with ground roasted chicory, it com- muntcatea a brown color, of greater or less in¬ tensity. If tbiee g'asB tubes* set upright, be charged, respectively, with a few grains' weight pf* 1, pure coffee, 2, of coffee mixed with a little chicory, 3, of coffee mixed with much chicory ; and if. into each of thieee tubes, a like "quantity of culd water be poured, if, aftir agitationi the tubes he aet upright, at rest, the solid pairiicles witl soon fall to the boitorn,-and the transparent liqdid in the stems bf-the" tubes will show, by the variable depts of the- linciurea, the presence and proportion of coffao or .chicory in each of tbem* An:apparatus for making this experi¬ ment may be had lorfrsbJling^oriwoVand those whqbuy groondroastfii^coH'ee'woiild find it for Uteir advantage to supply tbemselves with theiri'

The following is a britt hisiory ofthe case : Bepi«min Guchonour, administrator of Chris¬ tian Newewenger, dec'd. coltecicd ibe share duf hia wile who woa a daughter of aaid dec'd. A' the lime he received the money he reronrkeii' " It ia my wife Barbara's and is to be here."— Benjamin Gochenour died. inieBiate but aoivent, leaving Barbara bis widow, wbo claimed from his eatate the share at'orceaid. Tbe administrators refused to pay it until tho right to the same should be deiermined. Accordingly ihe wid>w excepted to the administration account, making the non-payment ofthe share aforesaid one ofa series oi exceptions. These were referred to an Auditor to pasa upon and make distribution of tbe balance otthe money among those legally entitled thereto. The Auditor sustained the claim: 30 did the Court below.: and the Su¬ preme Court affirmed tbe decree,—thus awardv ing the money to tha widow, Barbara Goche¬ nour- A. Herr Smith for widow, who was ap¬ pellee ; I. E. Hiester and N. EUmaker for ap pellants ; Jobn h. Thompson, Esq.| for accoun- lonrs.

Thb opinion of [he Court waa delivered by Woodward, J.
Under the terms of the Acta of Asaembly re¬ lating to the jurisdiciion and powera of the Or¬ phans' Courts, and the opinion of ibis Court in Kittera's Ejtate, 5. H. 422, it ia not to be doubt¬ ed ibai tbe Orphans' Court ofLancaster had ju¬ risdiction of the widow's claim in this case.— The eecond and more iraporiant queaiion is, ¦ whether, under the circumstances, in proof be¬ foro the Auditor, the money claimed was eo re¬ duced into posaesaion by the husband as to be¬ come hiH proper'.y. It it was, the widow haa no title to it;—if it was uot, her right survived and may be asserted in the Orphan's Court.
Tbe money came into his hands as administra¬ tor of Christian Newswenger, ol whom Barbara was a daughterand heir; and to ber, Gochenour

In Baker va, Hail 12. Vesey 497, where an Ex¬ ecutor entered into puBseefiion of the real aud personal esiaiea ofthe leatQior—married ouo ol tho residuary devisees under the wilt, and died leaving her surviving hira, it was held by Sir William Grant, Master of [he Rolls, that the husband musl bo considered to have entered in¬ to pusscEaiou as iniatee and executor of thc will only, and nut aa husband ; and therelore his wjfp's pbarc ui the rc6id:.'C rould not be deemed sufficiently reduced into poasession aoasio pre¬ vent its surviving lo her upon his decease. And in Wall VE. Tomlinson, 16. Vesey 413, it was said that the transfer ofsiock to a husband mere¬ ly as trustee cannot be regarded as a reduction into poBseasion ihai will cntule his representa¬ tives.
Il was made dtrcrfio tre(«itu. If the husband take poBaeesion, aaya Ch. Kent 2d- Com. 139, in tbe character uf trustee, and not ot husband, it is not luch a possessiou aa wilt bat the right of a wife if she survive him. The property musl come under the actual control and possession ot the husband, <;ua3t husband, or the wite will lake aa aurvivar instead of the personal repre¬ sentatives of tbe bubband.
This disunction has been fully adopted in PenosyUania, anda serica of well considered caies carrying out thc principle to ita logical re^ suit, haa eisi&bli&hed that reduction into posECs- sion EO aa to work a change ol ownership, is a queetion ot intention, to be inquired of upon all Ihe circuraatances. Conversion is not reduc¬ tion into posstsdion, but only evidence of it; and thereli/re conversion maybe explained by other evidence, negativing the intention to re¬ duce lo podaesBion in euch manner as to transter tbe liile. According to these cases, marriage is ireaiedaaonly a conditional gilt of the wife;' choses inaction—or, to speak more accurately, a gift to the husband of her power to dispose ol them to himself or any one else by force of the dominion lo which be has succeeded ss the rep¬ resentative of her person ;—and because the gift is conditional he has a right to rejeci It by refu¬ sing to perform the condition. The law does not cast it upon him beyond his power ol resis¬ tance, for every gift requires the ascent oftho donee, and hence clear proof that a husband re¬ ceived his wife's money as a loan, or a disclaim¬ er of intention to make it his own property, pro ved by his admiasions will preserve her right of survivorship.

It wae said in Gray's case that such admis' siona as a medium of proof are to be scanned with extreme vigilance ; and to prevent the con sequences of misapprehension or mistake on tbe pan of wimeeses, it is necesaary that tbey be deliberate, preciae, clear, and consisieni witb each other ; not inconsiderate, vague or discra* pant;—a rule founded in the experienced uncer¬ tainties of parol proof and moat necessary to bo continually applied.
Besides Ihe implications from the fiduciary character of Gochenour, we have in this case hit declarations ond admissions, made, not in casu¬ al conversations after receipt and conversion ol the money, but in tbe very act of receiving it,
I anon louno, nowevcr, that the "dreorit'ul thing" was ilie subject of convrrsation all s'l-'ul me, and by aimply listening, I gained an insight into lbs mystery. It eecmed that there was to be a trial for murder there on the next day, and ihat the criminal was a young blackamlth who had heen horn and brought up in the town, and who, until the present time, had ^lorne a char¬ acter above reproach. I endeavored to find out tbe partlcular-1, but t could learn little upon which to depend, for diffdrent people gave differ¬ ent accounis, end all who knew anything of iho matter were too much excited to speak culmiy. Tbe murder had iranspired only about a week be¬ fore, and consequently, ibe event waa fresh in the minds of the people. The only facia ihal came to me upon whica I could rely were, ihat a mid¬ dle aged man named Mathew Hampton, had been murdered and robbed, and that Abel Ad' ams, the young blackemith, had been arreated for the crime nd would be irJed on the morrow. Some said that the murdered man's money, to lbs amount of over two thousand dollara, had been found upon ibe young man's person, but othersdonied thla fact. Yet all sympathized withthe prisoner. He waa beloved by all his townamen, and bul tow of ifaem could believe anything ol the reports thai had crept into cir¬ culation. Aa I waa in no particular hasie, I resolved to
remain in M until the trial had come off; so
I went and erased my name from the stage-book where I had placed it, and then informed mine host of my determination.
Onthe following morning at an early hour, the peupie began to flock towarda the court¬ house, and I saw that if I would secure a place I must join the crowd. I did so, and at lengih found myself within the building, and as good fortune would have it I made a stand nearthe prisoner's box. Ten o'clock waa the hour set for opening the court, and before thai time every conceivable standing-place outside of the dock was fiyled. Staginga were erected upon the out¬ side under the windows, and these, loo were crowded.
Atthe appointed time the court came in,and the prisoner was ci'nducted to the box. Said prisoner wae not more than five-and-twenty yearsof age, and he poasessed one of the moat pleasing countenances I ever saw—it' was one of ihow bold, frank faces, full of noble courage snd good nature—just auch an one as is unbesi- latingly taken as ihe index toa pure and gener¬ ous soul. He waa a stout, athletic man, and carried the palm at every wrestling match in ths country. I thought within myself that that man W&3 no murderer. And yet, wo know not lo what extremities a man may sometimes be driv¬ en. Young Adams was quite pale, and hij ne¬ ther lip quivering as he found the gaze ot the multitude fixed upon him ; but hia eye was bright and quick, not decant, hut bold and hope lui in its deep blue light.
. The trial commenced. The complaint was clear and distinct eeiiiog forth the fact that the prisoner, Abel Adama, " did, wiih malice afore¬ thought-" etc.. kill, etc., on such a day, one Matthew Hampton—in the first place by a rik- ing hira upon the head with aome heavy blunt weapon—and in ths second place by stabbing aim in the breast, etc. To all this the prisoner pleaded " not guilty.'' From the first testimo¬ ny called up I learned the following facts:
Near sundown, one afternoon, about a week previous, Matthew Hampton stopped at the shop ofthe prisoner co get his horse shod. This Hampton was a wealthy farmer, and his estate lay to the southward, near ihe Tennessee line, and only about filteen miles distant from M-—. He was known to have had some two thousand dollars with him at that ume—money which he had received at Columbia for corn. It -la* nearly dusk whenhe started from the priaouor^fi thop. He look out his pockei-book to pay fur ihe j.)b of shoemg his hon-. Thia he did with¬ in ibe ahop, and two persons were preaent who now testified to ibe fuct, and alao that when iLe puckei-book was opened a large bunch of bank notes was exposed. About an hour«fier Hamp¬ ton lelt, tbe prisoner came out from hid shop and went to his stable, and having saddled his Seot- t:si horae he mounted and started ofi at a lull gallop in the direction Hampton had laken-
Nexi came two wiinesaes—'* Mr. Simple and Mr.Jurdan," both of them respectable cnizens
uf M , who teatified aa follows: They bad
tjeen into the edge of Tennessee on business, and were returning home. At about nine o'clock on the evening in queaiion, they came to a point in ibe road where a.high bluff overlooked the way, and while passing ihia tbey were startled by seeing s^jmething In the moonlighi which looked like a man. They at once dismounted, and found that what they had seen was the body of Matthew Hampton, all gote-covered and ' bleeding. Tbey had not been there more than a mimite, when they were joined by a third man, who said ihai he saw the murder committed, and tbe murderer had fled towards M-——. Simple and Jordan both recognized ihis new¬ comer aa one Henry Bigler, and though big character was by no means of the most exem¬ plary kind, yet that waa no time for discussion. The body oi Hampton waa still worm, so that the murderer could not have been gone long.— Bigler had no horse, so Mr^ Simple agreed to remain by ihe body, white Jordan and Bigler went in ^pursuit of the murderer. They put iheir horees to the top of their speed, and in hall an hour ihey overtook the prisoner, whom Big¬ ler at once pomied out es (he man. Jordan
bejudco shook his head, and the lawyers shook their heads, and the jury looked troubled and nn.Tiou8. The prisoner's counsel did all be could to esiablish his client's good character, and also to impeach the cbaracior of Bilger, but he could relute none of the testimony that hnd been giv-

and there he was placed in the hands of the
sheriff* and upon examining his person, Mr.
Hampion'fi pocket'buok, containing iha two
and which seem lo answer all iho conditiona of | !'^°""'»°'* dollars,,.was found upon him, and hi.
the above rule. Thus Barr, who saw him re ceive $415 of tho money iu 1850, swears ihai he declared al the time "it is my wile Barbarr's, and ilia tobe bera,"—and Ann Newswanger,' apeaking ofthe money begot from ihe notes and articles bought at tbe vendue amounting to $700, reports him as saying, »-he would lake this money dnd pay his debts on which he was paying interest, but that ii waa Barbara's money and should be hers*" Anna Kline thinks she. was present three limes when Gochenour got money, and every time she heard him say ft waa his wife's and ahould be hers. She saw bun count tha $700-ho .aid it was his wife Barbara's—he owtd iiand was going to pay ii oui-heodghi'ui almoat to take it to pay his debts. ' It cannot be doubled ibti such declara. tions imported an iniention to convert iha mon¬ ey to his uaa as his wife', money and not h.s own;-ihat ia. they explain the act of conver¬ sion consistently wab bia intention that it should survive lo her and not he co reduced into bu. poBBtaaion as tu exiiuguiah her right, I.

hands were also covered with blood.
At this juncture tho excitement in the Uttle court room was intense. The crowded mass swayed lo and tto Uke wind-swept grain—mur¬ murs broke the sanctity of tbe place—murmurs loud and deep—and it was some minuter ere anything like order could bo restored- At length Henry Bilger was called upon the stand.
He was known by most oftho people in M ,
and though nothing positive waa known against him ofa criminal nature, yet he waa kno.wn to be a reckless, wandering fellow, flpmetimea trading in slaves, sometimes driving a flai-boat dowiiihe Missiisippi. He stepped upon the' wi^ness'a block with a comiplaisant bow, and he gave in his tesiimouy clearly and diatincily.
He said hfl was coming down the road towards M— on fool^and when near the bluff he beard tbe aoiind bfa slruggle, accompanied by load groaiia a'ndenireatiefi. He sprang forward, and arrived jtiatio season to aoa the prisoner leap, into hia saddle and tide off.; The moon was Bhioingatth«time,-Bo4w eould not faavfl boen mistaked.

When the judge came to charce the jury, he •poke of the preciseneaa of the testimony ogainsi the prisoner, and of the corroborative circum- siancee, Wiih regard to the prisoner's 8tor>» he said that it was very simple, and sounded very much like truth ; but be wf.uld have the jury remember how eaaily such stories could be made.
It was long alter dark when the jury retired tp make up their verdict. They were gone half an hour, and when ihey returned, the foreman ahowed by the very hue of his countenance that tho verdict was (o be fatal! All saw it, and I could hear the throbbing of ihe hundred hearts Ihat beat about me.
"Gentlemenof thejury, have you made up a verdici V
•* Wo have."
" Shall your foreman apeak for me!"
" Yes."
" Abel Adams, stand up and look the fore¬ man in the face. Mr. Foreman look at the pris¬ oner. Now, sir, is Abel Adams, the prisoner at the bar, guilty of murder, or not 7"
Hark .' The first syllable of the word "Guil¬ ty** is upon the loreman's lips, but he speaks it not. Thoae who yet crowd about the windows shout with all their might, and in a momert more a man crowda his way into the court-room* He hurries up and wispers to the sheriff—theo he goes tothe bench and whispers to the judge. Henry Bilger siarts up and moves towards the door, but in au instant the hand of the sheriff is upon him. All is excitement the most intense. Directly the mass about the door begins io give way, and four men are seen bearing upon iheir shoulders a chair—a large stuffed cbair~and in that sits Matthew Hampton—not dead, but alive. True, he ia pale and ghastly, but his eyea are open and hia lips move. At length the chair is Bet down before the bench, and the old phyai¬ cian of M asks permieaion to apeak. As
soon as this ac: becomes known all ig quiet once more.
The physician aays tbat nfiitherof the wounds which Mr. Hampton had received are mortal, though he at firat thought they were. The blow upon the head, and tfae stab in ihc breast, com¬ bined 10 prodace a slate of catalepsy which -re¬ sembled death so nearly that many an experienc¬ ed person might have been deceived. When he gave out thai Mr. Hampton was dead, he thought it was so. But when hc found that Hampton was living, he kept the secret to him¬ self, for fear thai if the truth got out a certain man. whose presence was much nreded, mighi be missing.
Ai Ibis joncture, Mr. Henry Bilger made a savage attempt to break away from tho sheriff, but it did not avail bim. The jury were direct¬ ed IO return to their box, and then Matihew Hampton was reqiiesied lo speak- He waa too. weak to rise, but bespoke plainly, and in a man¬ ner that showed his mind to be clear- He Btated that when be reached tbe bluff, on the night ofbis disaster, he discovered that his pocket-book was gono. Ho stopped hia horse, and was trying to think where he could bave lost it, when aome one came up from ths side road* He had just time to see that it was Hen¬ ry fiilger, when he received a blow upon the head from a c!ub that knocked him from his horse. Then he felt a sharp. Btinging. burning pain in the bosom, and with a momentary start¬ ing o! the muscles he opened his eyes. He saw that Bilger was stooping over him, and ransack¬ ing bis pockets. He could just remember ot hearing lho distant gallop of a horse—then he thought hia body waa being dragged to the road¬ side—and after that he couIg remember noihintt ' until be awoke in his own house, and found the.' doctor by his bed-aide.
For a littlo while longer ihe multitude had to restrain themselvea, I remember ihai the judg- eaid something to ihe jury, and ihat the jury whispered together for a moment. Then the prisoner stood up onco more, and the foreman of the jury said—" Not Gijilty 1*'
Then burst forth the beari-aliouts of the peo¬ plo, Abel Adama sank back upon his seat, bU( in a moment more be waa seized by a score of stout men, and with wild and rending fhouts they bore him out into the free, pure air, where the bright stars looked down and smiled upon him. A little way had they gone when ihoy met a young woman, whose long hair was flying in the night wind, and who wrung her hands in agony. Tbey. stopped and set iheir burden down. Abel Adams aaw the womani and he sprang lorward and caught her to bis bosom.
'* Mary—Mary—I am innocent—innocent— frea!"
The wife did not speak. She only clung wildly to her nob lo husband and wept npon :hi8 bosom.
A wagon body was lorn from its axleirees— the blacksmith and bi. wife were placed therein and then they were borne away towarda their home, and long after they had paased from my sight I could hear the glad shouts of the impul¬ sive people, waking the night air, and reverber, aiing among tbe distant bluffs.
On tbeneximorning,i>efore tho stage started' I learned that Matthew Hampton bad determin¬ ed to make the young blacksmith accept of one thousand dollars whether he waa willing or not.
Two weeka afterwards, while sitting in th, office of my hotel, at Cincinnati, I received i
newspaper from . Henrv Bilger had
been hanged, and on the gallows he acknowl edged hia guilt. Matthew Hampion waa slowly recovering, ana ihe blackamitb had, after much expostulation, accepted the thonsand dollars from Hampton's bounty.

This growing dread at length became insuffer¬ able; and | engaged all minds. There chanced to be in (he village, a ynuthot nineteen, J*rom Weaiern New York, whose domesiic educaiion had carefully excluded nil faith inaupernalural agencies, and who iherofote, looked only to nat¬ ural cflUi-es for explonatipns ot the events and occurrences ot this Ufe. Thisyouth resolved to la thom the mystery of the grave yard ghost.— He found onv. osaociaie ; and the two aHer nigbi- fall secreted (hemaelves among the tombs, to ob¬ serve. Punciually, as ihe hour of twelve drew nigh, the ghost which had caused eo much dread waa seen approaching. Tbe moon wae shining brightly, and the while robed object was floen moat'distinctly. Overcoming two fences, thia entered the grave-yard within actual reach of tho youth who had set on toot thc investiga¬ tion, and, as ihe tight fell fully upon the face of the ghost, he recognized the well-known fea-, lures of an acquaintance, who was thon tn her early widowhood. Her husband had recently been buried there, and so dreadful hod been (he shock, that the reason of tho wife had been dethroned by it, sad ahe was now a wandering maniac. She saw not her observers, but seated herself, as she was wont, upon the grave ofhim sho had loved but too fondly. Tho two then approached the unfortunate and addreased bar in kindness. She knew thera nol, but conversed freely with them; calling them angels and crav¬ ing their protection. She was in her night cloihes, and hor wandering thus through the agony she bad suffered, and her nightly occupy¬ ing this sad seat, had converted ihot poor mental wreck of humanity into a ghoat. On thia occa¬ sion she could not be induced to abandon her poet, and of necessity she was left there to com, pletc the hours of thai nightly pilgrimage.

ifD"A correspondent of ihe Philadelphia In-' quirer Blares that a slave formerly owned by General Waahington, and now one hundred and i twenty years old, la living in Fayette county, Pennsylvania. Thia Hisiliry is aaid to be well amhenticated. He was brought in a alave shiP from the coaat of Guinea to the port of Philadel- ' phia-, somewhere between the year 1760nnd'70, and was purchased, tugeiher wiih nine others, : for farm hands on the Mount Vernon Eaiaie. then owned by Col. Geo. Washington,- {already a man of note in the Colonic?, from hia eerviccB in thc French and Indian wars.) His name in hia native coantry was Funtemah. but at Mount Vernon they gave him the leas barbarous appel¬ lation'of Simon, to which he afterwards added the name of Washmgtonin honor of his good master. Simon continued to reside at Mount Vernon until ihe tlrad of the Revolution, when with others, he wae sent out to a tract of land in Fayeite county. Pa., owned by Gen, Washine- ton, to assist in the erection oi a mill. After la¬ boring here for some years, be wae eold to Bra. zil Brown, from whom the town ol Brownaville is named, and he sold him lo Col. Edward Cook, in whose service he remained aa long aa he was recognized aa a slave.
The beer, (especially Lager beer) statistics of Si. Louis, for the last seaaon. instated by the St' Louia/rt£e/i{gcncer aa follows : "St. Louis has about twenty-four breweries, and every one ol them had siored nearly twice the quantity of "ale" for this summer tbat had been made in the preceding one. As we are informed by one of tbe largest dealers of this article, ihe quantity may be aafely reckoned at forty thousand bar rels oi lager heer. By an average count, one barrel of ihirty gallons gives about three hundred £/cs«c.«,thus we have about twelve millioTia of {•lasses of tagor beer and about six millions of common beer ; in all eighteen million glasses o' beer drank in St. Louis Irum the Ist of March last up to the I7ih of Scpteitrber, the time the lager heer gavo out. Cummon beer is sold at 5ve dollars per barrel and lager beer seven dol¬ lars, that is, at wholesale ; this wilt make tho amount received by the brewers for' lager beer, 3290 000. and for common, f 100,000—together say. S380.000. The retaitera, at five cents a glass, took in $600,000 for lager beer and $300,- 000 for tha common arlicle. Just ihink ol it. Nearly a miUion ofdollars ($900 000) spent in St Louis, during one summer, for beer! And that chiefly among the Germans themselves !
