MONROE CIRCUIT AND OYER & TERMINER

The False Imprisonment Trial - The suit of HILL vs. SIMMONS and WINCHESTER, for false imprisonment, closed on Saturday, after a closely contested trial of some three or four days. The jury rendered a verdict of $500 against WINCHESTER, but acquitted Mr. SIMMONS, believing that he acted in good faith as an officer, although misled by the representations of the individual claiming to have been robbed. The jury express themselves perfectly satisfied of the entire innocence of Mr. HILL and his family, a testimony as gratifying as it is deserved. The character of the accused has been fully vindicated, and their skirts cleared of a corrupt and foul charge. Mr. SIMMONS undoubtedly acted in good faith, and did no more than what he regarded as his duty.

In the course of this trial Mr. HILL has been subjected to an expense of several hundred dollars, and we hope that our citizens will manifest a substantial sympathy for the victims of misguided efforts to punish alleged crime. Suppose Messrs. CARR & WARREN, the gentlemanly managers of the Theatre, should give him a benefit? We have no doubt the announcement of such an act of generosity would crowd the house.

In the afternoon the prisoners were arraigned, and the following sentences passed by Hon. Justice HOYT

Orson DOTY, baudy house - plead guilty; County Jail 4 months

Joseph CHAMBEAU, riot; Jail 6 months

Lloyd H. BOWEN, riot; fined $100

James REED and John BARKER, burglary; breaking into house of James ABRAMS; State Prison 4 years and 4 months.

John FAKEY, assault and battery, with intent to kill; Auburn 3 years 4 months.

James B. GATES, selling liquor without license; fined $25

Austin REED, larceny; State Prison 4 years, 4 months

Myron HASKINS, grand larceny; State Prison 3 years, 4 months.

John STREETER, willful trespass; jail 30 days.

STOLE A HORSE AND STABBED HIMSELF

An Irishman of the name TIRRELL stole a horse at Mount Morris on Wednesday night of last week, and was arrested on Friday. He was confined in a room, and soon after stabbed himself in the abdomen with a knife, inflicting a pretty severe wound, though not a dangerous one. He will probably soon be able to stand trial for the theft.

Miss Marsh - The lost has been found - or rather found herself. Miss Ammarilius Ann MARSH passed through this city on Wednesday on her way to Buffalo, to join her family again. We hope she will now remain quietly at home, like a good girl.

Something of a Hog - Mr. Abraham VAN WICKLE, of Lyons, killed a three year old hog last week which weighed 760 pounds.

GOLD IN VIRGINIA

The Evening Post says the following extracts, in relation to the Whitehall gold mines in Virginia, owned by Commodore STOCKTON, Mayor HEISS and others, are from a letter written by a gentleman traveling in Virginia, to a friend in new York. The Post says, the statements may be implicitly relied on as true. We understand that the proprietors of this mine are erecting extensive works and employing a large force upon them, so that it is possible that a rich harvest of this precious metal may be reaped elsewhere than in California.

Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 1, 1846
GOLD IN VIRGINIA - I was at the Whitehall mines. Mr. REDING was there in high spirits - In sinking a shaft yesterday, they cut through a corner of a very rich vein, and Mr. REDING washed out of one panful of the ore, 125 pennyweights of pure gold, worth $125. Mr. R. C. TAYLOR, of Philadelphia, was there and saw it washed, and weighed it. * * * Commodore STOCKTON, with three negroes, last week, pounded out in hand mortars from the common ore, six pounds of pure gold in two or three days. * * * You must not think that I am exaggerating in what I have written about Whitehall, for I have stated nothing but facts.
****

DEATH OF ALEXANDER A. HOOKER

Alexander A. HOOKER, Esq., one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of Irondequoit, died on Tuesday afternoon, from an apolectic attack. He was seized with the disease before he arose from his bed, and notwithstanding all that medical skill could do, he died in about twelve hours thereafter.

Mr. HOOKER may be classed among the early settlers of the part of the country where he resided. When he emigrated thither, between twenty-five and thirty years ago, the neighboring country was a comparative wilderness. And considering that it was regarded in those days as a "sickly region," the number of the hardy pioneers who still survive is rather remarkable.
Prior to Mr. HOOKER's decease, there were himself, Isaac, Waring, Joseph LEGGETT, Henry CASE and A??? DINSMORE, all living on contiguous farms, which they have respectively occupied from twenty-five to about forty years. In addition to these old and highly respected citizens residing in one immediate neighborhood, there are many others in different parts of the town, such as Albert WILSON, Reuben HIKOCK, Watson and Nathaniel EWER, Ransford PERRIN, Hiram LOVELACE; James WARING and Immer REYNOLDS, recently removed into another town who formed almost the entire population in the several localities when they first became the inhabitants of that section. Mr. REYNOLDS, if we mistake not, settled there nearly or quite Fifty years ago, and he still enjoys good health and a vigorous constitution.

From this enumeration, it appears that Death has dealt leniently with those who, far back in the memory of the oldest inhabitant voluntarily incurred the hardships and privations inseparable from the settlement of a new country, in order to secure for themselves and family, the blessings of a home. The sudden demise of Mr. HOOKER, however, admonishes us that the hand the Destroyer will not always be stayed.

Mr. HOOKER'S funeral will be attended at his late residence, at 11 o'clock to-morrow, (Friday) morning.

OBITUARY

The sudden death of Arthur M. FOSTER, Principal of Adam Street Seminary, demands more than a mere record of the fact. A graduate of the University of Vermont. Mr. F. came among us some ten years since, and has been for the most of that period engaged in his private profession of teaching in the midst of us. He originated and elevated the Seminary in which he died. Beloved and respected for his finely cultured mind, his general benevolence and amenity of disposition, his simplicity and purity of character, and for his uniform Christian principle - he sustained without os?entation, a fine literary reputation. He was a man among teachers. Not only his bereaved family and brothers mourn his early departure, but a large circle of friends testify their sympathy. "They mourn with them their ?????." He lived and died a good man.

HORRIBLE DEATH BY CHOLERA

John D. BROWN, a native of Philadelphia, aged forty-two years, died at Cincinnati, of cholera, under the following horrible circumstances, as we learn from one of the Cincinnati papers:

"The unfortunate man had been here a short time since; he left this place for Pittsburgh, and on his return to this city contracted the disease which cut short his earthly career. It is not known upon what boat he started from Pittsburgh. The deceased was in a manner destitute of money, paying all that he had for his passage, and agreeing to ‘wood.' It was known to the clerk of the boat that the man was unwell, yet he was required to help to ‘wood,' until he reached this city. At the time of his arrival he was so far gone that it was impossible for him to articulate distinctly. --
Persons who saw him, fled from him as though his presence was calculated to contaminate those by whom he was surrounded. Everybody was fearful he had the cholera, and no one would assist him home. In the night, in a dying state from weakness, diarrhea, exposure, and bad treatment, he crawled home to his relatives house, near Sixth street market, and was not able to rise upon the door steps. In a feeble voice he called — was heard, and taken in. He was dying then, and in a few hours ceased to breathe. Imagine the feelings of that man and that family. The deceased was a worthy man, and his relatives, now living in this place, are highly respectable and much esteemed by all who know them.

Much censure, undoubtedly, attaches itself to the officers of the boat. How easy to have furnished him with a comfortable berth, and good attendance, and to have assisted him home. Alas, for the depravity of human nature. He leaves a wife and numerous friends to mourn his loss."

DEATH ON BOARD THE CARS

A young lady on her way to her friends in Genesee county, died on board the train of cars at Victor, Friday morning. She had been slowly sinking with consumption and was in hopes of reaching her home before the fatal disease claims its victim. At Victor she complained of fatigued, and the physician who was with her went in to the station house to prepare a refreshing draught, but before it reached her lips, she was dead.
****
RUN INTO THE CARS

A span of horses belonging to a gentleman from Pittsford, while hitched in front of the ALLEN Seminary, on Friday, got frightened by the western train of cars, and breaking loose run up Ford street just as the train was crossing, and dashed into the baggage car. The result was that the horses were damaged more than the cars, one of them being so badly bruised that he will probably die.
****
SUICIDE BY A BOY NINE YEARS OF AGE

A painful case of suicide by hanging occurred in the town of Clarkson, on Monday. A boy named Wm. GAGE, aged about nine years, son of Mr. Wm. GAGE, had been slightly punished by his mother for some offence, in the afternoon, and immediately left the house. His continued absence alarmed his friends, and on searching for him he was found in the corn house near by, suspended by the neck from a beam, his knees touching the floor. Life was extinct.

A short time since a man hung himself in the neighborhood, and the little fellow has often said he could see him hanging, and pointed to different spots where he said he was suspended. A few nights ago he jumped out of bed with the cry that the Indians were endeavoring to kill him. He was always very sedate and sober. His brain was undoubtedly diseased. Coroner FROST held an inquest, and the jury returned a verdict that he came to his death by his own hand.
****
SHREWDLY DONE

William and Ellen CRAFT, man and wife, he black and she white enough to pass for a white man, as she did, have escaped from slavery in Georgia, and arrived at Philadelphia. She in coat and trousers, pretended to be master of the black man, and as she could not write, tied up her arm as an excuse for not entering her name at the hotel. It takes the women.
****
The trial of the Factory Girls of Pittsburg has begun. They were indicted for riot in holding out for ten hour law, after the legislature had enacted it. In the course of their proceedings, they went to the factory to prevent others from working more than the hours allowed by law. Then a battle ensued between the two parties, in which the activity of their hands as well as their tongues was displayed. The case is a novel one, and the girls may be convicted. One of the persons on trial is a little girl thirteen years of age, who had been committed to prison for want of bail. It would be well for the authorities of the city, hereafter, to have the military always readiness for future emergencies, otherwise the little boys and girls may be creating another disturbance.
****
THE LAST ABSENCE OF MIND CASE - We knew a man, who positively, in a fit of rumination in a moonlight walk on a summer's night, stepped into the shade to avoid the heat; and we thought it a satisfactory evidence of absent mindedness. An exchange paper, however, gives a more recent and equally remarkable instance. At the alarm of fire at Martinsburgh, Va., the firemen started to the fire, and forgot to take their engine and apparatus with them. They "did not discover their mistake" until they felt the scorch of the flames, and the building was burned down before they could rectify their error. That will do - (Com. Adv.)
****
SENTENCE TO THE STATE PRISON - A correspondent of the Newburyport Herald an account of the sentence of one GLINES of New Bedford, who it will be remembered, induced a young girl to go with him in a chaise, on the plea that her father was sick, and after getting her into the woods committed an assault upon her, from the effects of which she did not recover for some time. He put in the plea of insanity, in mitigation of the crime, but without avail. He was sentenced by Judge MELLEN to twenty years confinement at hard labor in the State Prison.
****
SURGICAL - Dr. HOFF, assisted by Drs. AMES and BREWSTER of Mt. Morris, on Wednesday last took off the right breast of Mrs. DICKINSON, at Gibsonville, she being under the influence of chloroform. The operation, embrabing the taking up the arteries, &c, occupied thirty-five minutes, the patient experiencing no pain whatever.
Some four weeks since, Dr. H., extracted a tumor from the back of a young lady of the same place, chloroform being used to prevent pain. Both patients are doing well and are free from any bad effects of the chloroform - (Perry Dem.)
****
TWO RAILROAD ACCIDENTS - On Thursday last a portion of the freight train on the Syracuse and Utica road ran off the tracks, but we have not learned the amount of damage. Yesterday morning about one o'clock another accident occurred on the Auburn and Syracuse track. The train was on its way east, under good headway, and when about five miles east of Auburn ran off the end of a switch, which had been left open. The engine was thrown entirely off, and turned almost upside down, while the engineer and fireman barely escaped, the latter being badly scalded. Fortunately there were several freight cars following the engine ahead of the passenger cars, three of which were almost demolished, the flour, pork, venison, &c., being scattered over the ground. - One freight car was thrown off on one side of the track, and a second on the other. None of the passengers were injured. The engine was greatly damaged. The Auburn and Syracuse road has been peculiarly unfortunate the past year. The damage by accidents could not have amounted to less than ten or fifteen thousand dollars, a large sum for a road 26 miles in length.
****
DEATH OF ELISHA D. ELY

Our citizens were shocked by a telegraphic despatch received yesterday morning, announcing the death of our fellow citizen, Elisha D. ELY, at Philadelphia, on the preceding evening. Mr. ELY had gone to Philadelphia but a few days previous, where he was seized with inflamation of the lungs and pleurisy, which terminated his life in about eight days. - His wife and brother were with him during the last three days of his illness - having been summoned thither, by telegraph. It is some slight consolation to his friends, to know that he was surrounded by kind and sympathizing friends, who did all that man can do, to alleviate his suffering, and minister to his comfort. Among others who attended Mr. ELY during his sickness, was Rev. Joel PARKER, formerly of this city. His presence on such an occasion - at the bed-side of a friend sick among strangers, must have been cheering indeed. - His last end was peace.

Mr. ELY has been for several years past one of our most extensive flour manufacturers; and has ranked among our best citizens.
His remains leave Philadelphia this morning for their final resting place at Mount Hope.
****
DEATH OF AN OLD CHIEF - The Milwaukee Wisconsin notices the death of Thomas WILLIAMS, aged 90 years, a distinguished chief of the Iroquois nation, and descended from the Rev. John WILLIAMS, of Deerfield, Mass., who with his family and parishioners, was taken captive at the sacking of his native town by the Indians and French, in the year 1704. The deceased was an active participant in the scenes of the revolution, espoused the cause of the British at Bennington and Saratoga. During the war of 1812 by special invitation of the United States government, he placed himself under the protection of its flag, and was present at the battle of Plattsburgh. He had, for many years, maintained the tenets of the Christian faith, and died as he had lived, respected and beloved by his people, and in the full hope of a blissful immortality.
