One of the most heartless, cool and deliberate murders, recorded in the annals of crime. was pe:petrated in the town of Ava, Oneida County, in 1857. The circumstances revealed by the evidence, exhibited the most wanton depravity of the murderess in ad- ministering a slow and subile poison to her husband and father of her five young help- less children. Clorinda Yourden was tried at Rome, in October, 1858, for the murder of James Yourden. Hon. William J. Bacon. presiding ; L. S. Davis and B. F. Cady, side Judges : J. H. Manger. District Attorney, and Hon. Rufus Peckham for the People : Ward Unnt. Samuel Beardsley and D. O. Pomroy, for the prisoner. The murderess had been on terms of intimacy with another, and wished to rid herself of her husband that herself and paramour might enjoy the property of her husband. By the assistance of her sister she procured a quantity of arsenic. under the pretense of poisoning rat :. She put the poison into the coffee he drank for dinner : he came back from work about the middle of the afternoon, vomiting, with burning thirst. She prepared peppermint tex, but in more poison, and gave him to drink. She continued in like manner to ad- mimeter the deadly draught for about three days, when he died in great agony. She refused to send for a physician, stating to the neighbors, that he was subject to such spellaand would get over it. At the funeral, suspicion arose that all was not right, and an examination by the coroner revealed the fact that he had been poisoned. whereupon Mrs. Yourden was arrested and held to bail. The trial was delayed in consequence of the condition of the prisoner, who gave birth to a child some months after Yourden's death. During the trial ste manifested the most stoical indifference. sitting with ber infant in her arms. There were about fifty witnesses sworn. On the evening of the 8th day of the trial, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder, on hearing which the prisoner shed tears. The following shows how slight a circumstance changed her destiny from death to imprisonment for life : L. S. Davis, one of the side Judges, (with consent of Judge Bacon.) left the Court long enough to walk to the depot and accom- pany Mrs. Davis to the house of L. L Lewis, in the village, then returned to Court. One or two jarors were sworn in Davis's absence: the trial was set aside as irregular. The prisoner plead guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to the State Prison for life, and is now suffering the penalty of the law .-- COMMUNICATED.

The Congregationai Charch of Paris Hili was organized in 1701. January 8. 1810, the Union Society was organized at Sanquoit. Mr. M. M. Gray has in his possession an ancient record. dated July 6. 1795, signed by Joseph Howard, Clerk, stating that a meeting was held on that day in Dr. Perkins's store when and where a society was formed by the name of the "Hancock Religious Society." The following officers were chosen, viz: Joseph Howard. Clerk: Jonathan Davis. Wm. Babbit. David Seymour. Asa Shepard, Matthew Nichols, Jonathan Davis, Jr., Jesse Pior and Aaron Davis, Trus .. tees. A committee of three was then appointed to appraise the land for a site for a house of worship. Henry Crane, Jonathan Davis and John Clay were that committee. The records of a second meeting held September 7, 1095, show that provision was made for the purchase of a lot for a burying ground, and received the report of the committee on selecting site for a church, and voted to "agree to the report of said committee. "- They then "voted to dissolve the meeting." This is all the record that we have of the society.
Prof. Asa Gray, of Harvard University. one of the most distinguished Botanists of the country is a native of Paris. He was born November 18, 1810; graduated at the Fair- field Medical College, with the degree of M. D., in 1831. Preferring the study of Botany to the practice of his profession, he was in 1834 appointed Botanist of the U. S. Exploring Expedition, but as the Expedition did not sail for some time, he resigned, and was subsequently appointed Professor of Botany in Harvard University. Professor Gray is the author of several works on Botany, which have been extensively circulated and are regarded as the best of authority upon the subjects upon which they treat.
