Jan. 2.—The dangers which beset strangers in New York, or any great city, aro pumerous and varied in character. One class of them is sirikingly illustrated by a case which, but for the Brotherhood of Free Masons,—of whoss beneficence and vast worth this case is only ono of tho many proofs,—would have been forever [ENSHROUDED IN MYSTERY. For nearly six months Nathaniel French, Dep- aty Provincial Grand Master of Masons in the Bermudas, acd Bepresentative Grand Master of ke Grand Lodge of England, has been missing. When last seen he was on the whari of tha Ha- vane Stoamship Company, irom one of whose vessels he had just landed. Persistent search for Lim by & Mason of this city hrs brought to light his fate, Holanded July 25, 2nd within twenty-four hours thereafter was robbed and beaten until inseneible in the Twents-seventh Police Precinct, which is on the - sestern side of the First Ward. He was discov- ered ot 10 2. m. on the 26th by officers of this precine:, who called an ambulance and had him convesed to Park Hospital. He died about a Seek after being picked up by the police with- cut baving recovered consciousness, and, 48 his friends were not known, he was BHURIED IN THE POTTER'S FIELD. Singularly, the caso was nevor regorted at the Ceatrzl Police ofiice, u8 is customary, and thus asoapod publicity through the usual channel. Balow is the history of the caze as told by Mr. Brodley, the gentléman who worked it up: The steamehip City of Havana arrived in this port from Cuba and Nassau, N, P., July 15, 1873, Dringing ss a passenger from the latter city Mr. Kathaniel French. He camo to this city with tho intextion of taking a steamshup to Europe, his destination being Cardiff, Wales. After Jeaving the stesmer he 2ngaged an expressman to convey bis truck o & hotel which he nowed, aud received & cieck for it. He left the steam- ¥hip dock, and was never again scen to bo rcog- nized. Before ho loft, Winte, one of the officers st the stenmship wharl, noticed that . 'HE WORE EXPENSIVE JEWELRY and from his menner surmised that howass av of importsuce. Tho expressman fook Fronch's trunk to the hotel ho had indicated, butnot finding him took it to his own store- Roto, expecting that inquiry would bo made for it in o day or two, but no one called for it and the matter soon escaped his memory. About tho middle of last November a sister of 367 French, living in this city, reecived 2 letter from her brother's family in the Bahamas, which ftoted that since the departure of Mr. French from Nassam, -N. P., nothing Lad been heard from nim, and Tequesting her to do ail in her power to sscertmin his whereabouls, as they fcared De was _either sick or tiad Leen foully declt with. Knowing that her brother was & Freemason, she made known her perplosity to @ friond. A. H. Dradler, of tua city, who is n member of Acacia Lodge, ¥o. 15, of Washington. He at onco visited tho steamship oftice, and learned posi- tively that 3fr. French left the vessel July 25. o then called st the officesof various European teamship lines, and, after diligens inquiry, as- cerizined thet, Mr. French had not left New York b¥ sy of tieso routes. He ihen concluded that £0me Acci i ‘might have befalien the missing man, tod decided to SISIT THE ROSFITALS OF TIE GITT. Lo see if & person of Ar. French's description bad been_ an iumate of avy of them. Mr. Brad- ez examined tiie books of Bellevuo Hospital, but bie ecarch, though closs snd long, was oot rowarded for some timo With suc- Pess. At length,. when almost diecouraged of finding any =~ clue _in them, he chanced mpon the entry, “Nathauiel French, 49, Planter, Wales.” ‘ho book algo show- od thatbe was brought to tho hospital July 26. 1673, from the Receiving Hospital in City $1all Park, whither ho bad been talien in & stato of insensibility under the eupposition that be <as sufloring from the effects of intemperance. Hr. Bradley was fold by tho: hospital offcials thet rothing of value was found on French's person, and that it s supposed by all conversnni with the caso that he was a suranger in the city and penniless. After remaining in Bellevao Houpitul iwo davs, Frcnch was taken Lo the hospital on Blackwoll's Island. FURTHER INQUIRIES elicited the fact that marks of violenco had been found on French's head and body. As it was suppesed he was suffering from t}m he offecte | of oxcessive drinking when was tsken fo tho hospital it was in- forred thot he reccived these injuries Shile intoxicated, and less attention was paid to Dim than would otherwise have boen the case. on Dlackwell's Island shows that after remaiving st tho hospital there five days, Mr. Trench died, and as nothing was known of bis J:iends. Lo was buried in the Polter's Ficld. Af- fer ho was PICKED TP INSENSIELE in the First Ward, Le did not suiiciently recover consciousuess to give any information rezarding Lis friends. Alr.

In tho fright end bewilderment oceasioned by {ho subsequent proceedings, the servants could not bo positive as to the axact number of the in- trudess, which is variously stated at from nina to twelve. The men wero all masked and armed. They seized young Armatrong and ono of the women, taking thom by the throat to pravent an outcry, and one puraucd the other womsn, named Mar- faret, who endeavored to escape from the house through the lsandry window.

About 8 o'dlock yesterday morning the resi- donts of the lowez part of New Albany were startled and shocked to leam that Jobn B. Parker, a_well-known carpenter, had shot his wifo fatally and blown ont his own braine. The house whero Parker resided is adouble tenement cottage, situated neor tha corner of lain and Lower Eighth streets. The house contains three Tooms, tho middle one being used as a bed-room, and in this room tho terriblo crime was commit- ted. The body of Parker was found lying across the bed, with_no_ clothing on but Lis drawers and socks, His legs were hanging down, neatly this city, touching the_ floor; his right band was lying Joosaly by his side, and his left hand was thrown across his breast. On his abdomen mas Iving a six-inch Colt's revolver with six cham- bers, From the appesrauce of tho wound in hus Dead, he had evidently placed the muzzle of the Tevolver in his mouth and fired, tho ball paosing through the centre of his head and coming out at tho top, ecattering his brains ont on the bod and wall. The wound presented a ghastly sight. Parker ehot his wife in tne ceotro of theleft cheek, the ball passing ot the opposite ear and lodging in the wall over the bed. She musthave Tun out of the room immediately after she re- ceived the wound, for eho was found Iringin the sard in an unconscious condition a few moments after the reports of the pistol were heard. The wound received by Mrs. Parker is a frightful one, and it was tho opinion ofDr. Clapp. who was mmediately summoned, that if . prove fatal. We learned, however, last ovening that tho wounded woman tas restig more easily, and there wera some hopes for her recovery. Tho ceuse for Parker's murderous act was Jealovsy of his wife, whom, it is said, ho loved to distraction, and at the same time doubted her fidelity. On Tuesday it is stated that AMrs. Parker came over to thie city with a stranger. Her busband, Jobn Parker, missed his wife and commenced searching for her. Somo ono told um eho had gone to Louieville. He went down to the New Albauy depot of the Louisville train at 4oclock sndasked Conductor Davisif he Would stopat the ewitch long enough for him ‘Parker) te look through the train coming from i city. Dir. Davis told Parker that be wonld give him the time nsked for. Parker was evidently uneasy, and ssked Mr. Davis thice times if be would wait for bim, a8 he a8 “looking for somebody.” ~Mr. Davis ae- sured him again that ho would wait. Parker came on up to the switch and looked filmufih tho cars, and not finding the person of whom ho was in search, roturned to New Albany. After ho arrived there he- immediately went to the ferry landing and stationed himself where he conid observe all the passengers who should come off the boat. 1t is stated that while Parker was waiting at the ferry lauding a man snda woman camo over o the ferrybost and walked up tho hill. Parker went up ‘end sccosted the party, and thoy stook on the bank and talked for geveral minutes. The woman was supposed to be the wife of Parker. 3 The man who was in her company wasa stranger to onr informant. Parker was evidently excited, but the other party sppeared cool and collected. Tho three separated, and as Parkor walked off e met a friend and remarked to him, “that is the couple I waa looking for.” Itap- pears that Parker had once or twice mado threats to end hialife, and on Blonday he repoated his threat to Mr. Hardy, a brother of his wife. To a gentleman who called to sce Mrs, Parker yosterday afternoon, she furnished the following account of what she knew of the tragedy: She stated that within the past six months her hus- band had treated her badly, though she made a fair foco to tho world, He was vory angryat her for attending tho masquerade fball Christmas night, though he willingly sccompanied her there. Whenever they nt;unfledgmies, balls, or public entertainments he would bo sallen, cross, D0d jealous, and it was then that she was sub- Seot to spusis, cansed by fright and fear of in- Jary. Sho denios having auy knowledgs cf the Stk of his attempt to murder her, excopt that o litle boy they had taken to rear bLad told false storics sbout her. Last night ho told her hs fotended to kill her whon asleep, but she thought he would not do it. This morning he awoke her and told horto * prayand preparo for desth: " that he was going to shoot Ler and then kill bimself, and thon and thero carried out his threats by shooting her. She then ran out of tho sido door, and npon reaching the cornar of the kitchen, fell. Sho recovered herself and ran around the bouse, and ngain fell near the steps leading to the side door of Ar. McCutcheon's house, and_recollects nothing moro that hap- poned for some timo. She does nob know any- Pling of her husbaad'a killing bimself, oxcept from what e ssid.

From the Kansas City Times, Dec. 1. Tnformation rasched this city last evening from gentlemen who_arrived from Fort Scott, which farnishes matorial for a brief illustration of Missouri justice as dealt out to outlaws when overiaken by s jury of their countrymen. On Jast Fridsy morning two armed ruffisns rode up {0 the residenco of a farmer named Lowellon, residing near Monegow Springs, St. Clair Ceunty, aod finding Mrs. Tewellen alono attend- ing to some household duties, entered tho house and inquired for her husbaud. The lady said hor husband was not at home, butcould be found out in tho timber. The rufiians then soized upon her and nztumswd to outrage her pereon, and even threatencd to blow the braina out of her infant child. The terrified woman, i Ler despair. mado a frantic attempt to escape, but was eeized and cut torribly with a knife, and after beating her in a shocking manner thoy lefc her for dead . outside the door of her house. She was found by her husband eeveral hours afterwards in a pitiable condition. Mr. Le- ollen at once appealed to his neighbors, nud soveral organized bodics of men were soon BCot- tered over the country in pursuit of the ruffians. The ruflisns were found skulking in the timber 2 fow miles from Chalk Plai whore a ghort trial was had, Judge Lynch presiding. It is nob definitely known whether the ruflians are quito dead, bat it is considered very certain that they will not annoy tho peoplo of St. Clair County again. 5 A Fiendish Act. Paola, Ean.

REFOLT AT THE KANSAS INSANE ASTLUN The Employes Demand the Discharge of the Superintendent, and Twenty= four Leave in a Body. From the Sumner County (Kan.) Press. A for wecks since the Board of Lrustees of the losane Asylum at Osawatomio rcmoved tho Superintendent. Dr. Jacobs, and sppointed Dr. A. I Knapp, of Ottawa, to_ fill the vacancy. Soon after bia izstallation, Dr. Koapp inanau- Tated some rather radical changes, aud therchy incurred shie displeasuro of ceriain of the em- Ployes of the institution. A spirit of diseatisfac- tion was engenderod which grew in_intensity, a3 tho employes throughout the building Lecamo infected. The Donrd of Trustecs met in regular session during the last week in Decembor. The employes, headed by ono Hopkins, Trusteo of Osawatomie Townehip, preferred charges of a serious character sgainst the Superintondent, and = long aud tedious trial was entered into. None of the charges having been sustained by the evidence, the Doctor wes fully exonerated. Aeantime the spirit of insubordination had grown rapidly. On Wednesday, Dec. 3, tho Board procecded to the election of officers for ihe cnsuing year. Tho employes protested against tho election of Dr. Knapp. He was, however. clected almost uvanimously. At 3 o'clock tho Commissioners of State Iostitu- tions arrived, and snother factor was added 1o tho discordant elements. Al kinds of stories were rife througlont tho Asylum, snd tho pa- tionts caught the infection. At 4 o'clock the emploges, haviog been informed of the action of the Trustees, mado their appearanco in & body, led by Hopkins, and demanded an immediate Teconaidoration of tho election of Dr. Knapp. The President of the Board, tho venerable Dr. Wyman, of Topeka, sddressed them in kind and conciliatory language, advising them to bo con- siderate and reasonable in their proceedings. Tho Board refused to accede to their demsands, and stood firmly by the Superiniendent. At 5 o'clock the employes, numbering twenty-four Porsons, mslo ad femsle, filed into the prasencd of the Board, and dolivered their keys To the President. The greatest confusion now provailed. Ono ward was loft entircly without actendans. The situation wos rendered more unpleasant by tho spproach of darkuess and a. fearful storm. of snow ond slect that rattled agninst the pancs snd drowned the noiso and confusion that raged within. Tho employes ent ont into {he storm and left for their bomes,’ some of wWhich wers miles Bway. Darties, mounted on ficet horses, galloped sway to | tho little village of Osawatomie for_ aid, and _the whole county was aroused. Men were hurriedly brought in and placed in the most important positions, With orders not to leave their posts umatil relioved. An examination of the wards Iatb in the evenin; Tovealed the unpleasant fact tliat a patient hafi escaped. No ecarch was instituted, a8 no one could bo spared, and daring the long hours of the pight the ofiicers shuddercd as they thought of the poor wanderer oxposed to the pelting slorm. Tho next day partics came in from iho country and villages around, snd the vacated places were filled_and comparative quiet soon Testored. The missing paticnt has not yet beon heard from.

Being nunblo to return o the city with the bost and dead bodies, Capt. McAuley hailed a passing canoe, which contained a negro man and bos, and asked them if thoy know anything about the men in the boat. They replied that thoy did; that tho boat contained over thirty per- sond, and that the only survivor was a_colored mon whom they bad just left at their houso. Tho negroes were then requested to take the boat in_tow oud bring her to the city, but they declined to go mear it. Capis. Me- Auley and Bligs tben made the boat fast in the ‘marsh on the Carolina eido, and sent word totho city by Capt. Danicls. The boat contaived {runk and a double-barreled gun only. The lat— ter was taken on board tho Bello, whera it awaits an owner. The traak was left in the boat. I 3 the opinion of Capt. McAuley that tho bost was careened by the mast being broken ina squall whea it fell over on the mde. The boat being so densely packed, many of them undoubt- edly fell out, while is is supposed otbers reached the marsh but wero subsequently drowned by fuo incoming hde. The two doad negroos found hiad probably clang to the bont, and, being wet, evidently perished from cold during Mon- day pight. . The Accident on the Cincinnat, Hamilton & Dayton Railroud. From the Cincinnati Gazette, Jan. 1. Last night, when the Cincinnzti & Indianapolis train, on theC., I. & D. Road. due in Ciucinoati at 10:30, was leaving Winton Place, on time, un- der Conductor Joln Barber, the Richmond & Chicago train, duo in Cincinnati at 9:25, but an hour behind timo, ran at nearly fu!l speed into the Indismapolis or rear pasenger-carof tho Toledo train, The paseonger and the baggago car ahead of it telescoped ; the rear truck of the passenger-carfell into tho cattle-guard at the up- por end of the cemetery, ond tho train, with half the rear car resting om the trucks of the Dbaggage-car. and its forward trucks thrown back into the middie, yan down to the bridge over tho main avenue of Spring Grove Cemectery, before the train was stopped. Every car on tha train was moro or less smeshed, while the rear end of the Indian- apolis Leggage-car, and the possenger-car at- tached, weie totally wrecked. ~Their sides and floor formed a mass of hugo and small spliuters which, with long iron Atay-rods, bristled an projected in every dircetion; seats, stoves. pas- sengers, and all movable thinga were piled into promiscuons confusion. The [assengers raised themsolves over the rubbish as they could, and crawled ont of the whole knocked out of tho resr end, aod, with em- ployes of the train, belped out the wounded men. The wonder is that the twenty or more paseengers in the car were mot ail se- riously wounded. As it is, with one or two exceptions, the injuries are ali elight. Alr. G. A. Carnahen, Principal of the First Intermediato School, of this city, sulfered a compound frac— turo of his right arm; Mr. J. W. Mger, of the firm of French & Myer, was painfully bruised in Sarious parts of bis body ; Mr. French, ks part- ner, was slightly cut in the hand and wrist; s 1ady in oue of the cars forward was cut badly in the head by being thrown forward againet o broken window; a number of other ladies were stunped and bruised, and the fircman of the To- ledo-Indianapolis train wns bruised by some ‘moans in tho wrist. . William Moore, the engineer of the Chicago trai, 18 reported to bave jumped from fiis cn- gino at the instant of the coltision, and broke hisleg. The fireman is reported hmt in hiy hand.” The locomotive's smoke-stack, upper works, and pilot were knocked off, *leaving the " a4 to bruiso his chest. body in better condition than would naturally bo expected. The baggage and two passenger-cars of the Chicago train were thrown together. with such force that the platforms were all brokewn, the floors wrenched up from the sleepers, and and most of the windowa broken. Fortunately, Do passengers wera injured. ! A passenger on the Indianapolis car, who saw the locomotive thundering down the road behind his train, ran forward sod jumped off the {ront platform to safety on tho ground. A surgeon, who was o passenger on the train, dressed the wounds of the passengers. Conduc- tor Barber removed tho wounded to the locomo- tivo, and carried them down to the city, while 3 wrecking engino steamed up to the scone to clear away the wreck and movo the remainder of the posdengersto the city. "A party of threo or four ladies gob on the train at Winton Place, on the rear platform of the car directly in front of the Indianapolis bag- gage. Boforo reaching the door, a boy who ac- companied them to the station screamed out at the top of his Yoice, ** Jump, jump: o train is Funning iuto you! Omek!” And the lndies Jumped. If they had not dono so they would dither bave been thrown from_ the platform by the collision, or havo boen scriously mjured by {he smashing of the platform. A Gazelte reporter who rods from Hamilton in the teloscoped Indianapolis bagzage-car, with tho baggageman, first heard the indistinct screaming of cne or two boys’ voices, while tho train was moving from Winton Place. Rising from his chair, the reporter heard a terrific crash behind him, and at the instant was thrown forward on his face, whilo stove, stovepipe; chair, firewood, and broken timber fell upon him and tho baggageman, and the train shot for- ward with acceleratod speed into the middle of the gmvc{m‘fl, where it stopped. Tiio Toledo train carries the mail, and stops, consoquently, at every station. The Clicago: trein 18 an express, stopping st enly tho more _important statioms. As beforo stated. it was about an_bour behind timo last night, and started from Hamilton, under Conductor Farly, but a few minutes in rear of the Toledo train, and ahould have moved carefully all the way dovwn to Cincinnati, 80 a8 not to crowd npon the time of the. train shead. Tho rear signal-light of red was hanging ot the window of tho for- ward train as usual, and was still burning ofter tho collision took place. There was blundering or carclessness somowhere, and it ought to bo worth iuvestigating. The Accident om ‘the Cincinnati, Fiamiiton & Indianopolis Eailroad. From the Indanapoliz Sentinel, Jun. 1. A frghtful railrond accident happened Jast ovening about 7 o'clock on the C., H. & I Road, and is sufficient to make one shuddor with horror. The train due bore ot 8 o'clock p. m., when about a mile and s half this side of Browasville, and a few miles below Conuoraville, broko a wheel of the last coach. The train_ran somo distance in__this conditicn, uutil it renched a trestle bridge, and when nearly across, tho last car broke looss and fell over the bridge, » distanco of 20 feet, and against tho embank- ment, fiterally smashing the car into thous sands of pieccs. The rear brakeman rushed to his brakes as son 25 bo discovered the broken wheel, at the seme time signaling to the on- ginee?, who reversed the cngine, but tho speed was o_great that it was impossibla to check the train up beforo resching the bridgo. The brakeman, scoing that this was ivovitable, jumpod féom tho train, and 6o escaped ivjury. 3. John Fisk, ono of the injured passenge: vas the first £ extricato himse!f from tho coach, but not without eeriously cutting his arm with tho glass of the window. = A lady with her child, aboy of 4 or 5 years, whose name could not bo learned, had come on board the train at Brownsvills, and just taken her soat when tho 2ccident occurred. The child was killed out- right, A gentleman by tho namo of John Lizes was also killed outright, his body being horribly muilated past recoguition. Two other gentlo- men passengers wero injured, 80 serionsly a8 to givo no doubt but tbat death will ensae. The re- mains of tho doad and those that were eeriously injured wero left at Connersvilie, whero tho ué- most attention was in waiting. Mrs. Perry Little, who was cit and injured severelr in the hicad, came through, and was taken to 239 South Dela- waro strect. The forward coaches came through, and arrived hero at balf-pasy 1. Conductor Higby and tho train men did all in their power to help the sufforcrs, and on the arrival here tho conductor kindly offered_to tako all the injured passcogers to a hotel and kindiy cared for.” Ta- Fen 1 all is was ono of tho most frightful acci- douts that has occurred in o long time, thera b ing but one or two pereons ia the wreckod car {3t oscaped withoat more or tess injury. Thers were twenty or twenty-five in tho coach at the Limo of tho accident, and tho diemay and confu- sion were indescribablo. ‘The coach turned upsido down, and was completely Gemolished, Fortu- nately thero was but Little fire in the stove, and not sufficient to set the car on fire. A passenger Wio was on tho train_snd among the injured, whose nnmo is Jobn Fisk, from Tippecsnoe City, Ohio. states that be was on the lower side of the car when it commeaced tippinz. A mon who wasoa the opporito eide foll on him and jammed him 8o bard agsinst tho side of tho car Ho also sustained ather injurics on bis left arm and forebead, which Wero properly attended to when he reaciied this city. 'Conductor Higby and _the other cmploycs Dave the thanks of tho passengers aud injured ones for their noblo conduct m providing for their comfort and safety. Tho train was going at full speed, and everything scemed all rizht just beforo the accident. The night was just Waning, and the maon shone forth beaatifally from 3 clear sky, which tho passengers had ob- served snd wero falking about when tho crash F:;I]‘BB and they were precipitatod twenty fect oelow. Fhe fntelligent Jury in Italy. Netw York Tines. o Italy it has _produced some remarkabls re- sults, and the Minister of Justico despairs of being able to retain it in the Italian courts fora Tong timo to come., An Italisn paper reporis eevoral recent cascs which, if they were not well authenticated, would eecem hardly eredible. But thera is no doubt of their trath. ~The Duch- ee8 of Vastogirardi, residing in Naples, losteome Taluable diamonds. Suspicion fell upon herlady’s maid, who was forthwith amrested and tried. The evidonce wss quite conclusive egeinst tho woman, but the jury scquitted her and blamed only the Duchcss, who, they declared, ought not to have exposcd her diamonds, which “had exercised such a terriblo fascination on the poor maid that sho had been driven to com- mit the theft by an irresistible force,” snd thoze- fore was pot guilty. This wasnot unlike tho erdict delivercd by = Welsh jury, who found & prisoner * not guilty,” but accompanied tho findin; should caution the prisonor not o yield to temp- tation again. Ignorance or stupidity on the part of the Ttaltan jurymen may bave led to their decision: but, in another instance, tho violent projudice of tho people is Iudicrously displayed. A man fired 2 gun at random into & church, and bit the leg of a gontloman who was kneoling at bis devotions. Tho offender was brought to trial, but the jury decided that if tho gentleman had not been at chuzch his leg would not have been in the way of the bullet. Tho fauls, therefore, was mot with the man who fired tho gun and who was acquitted nccordingly, but it was with the man Vo yielded to a bigoted superstition and went to the ghcn where the shot hap- pencd to rench him. Another case will be el appreciated by somo of our Tammany Iriends, who ought to begin to consider very seriousiy whother a removal to Italy would not be advantazeous. A tax-collector at Naples ab- sconded with some public_money, smounting to about 2 million francs. o was caught, brought Lack, and tried; but the jury ncqnuitted um becanse the money he had stolen was the peo- g!e‘s ‘money, and s he was one of tho pcople e wag part owner of that money; and of course it would bo monstrous to convick n man of stealing what is Lis own. It may seem strange that such an ingenious argument has peveroccarred o the legal defenders of some of our own public thieves, but thoy aro very welcome to the suggestion. It is ot least as good an’ argument a8 many that havo beon urged. An Unpleasantncss Bcetwween Gove Xlendricks and the Mayor of Indian~ npoliv. . p'iom the Indianapoliz Journal, Dec. 31. Abont noon yesterdsy, Mayor Mitchel called upon Gov. Hendricks to cousult with roference to the situation. Just what led to the difficulty wo supposo will never bo_positively known, but it is stated that tbo Governor was foarful that tho Mayor was trying to detract from his reputa- fion 03 the grest peaca Governor, as evidenced by his actions during the continuance of the strike. At any rate, the two great men becamo very much hexted in their conversa- tion, and_ the Goverpor finally 8aid, that the Mayor had proved bimself un- egual to_the emergency during the past few dsye, and said he should have ntterly exbausted his powers as chief exccutive of the city fo pros- erve the peace before eveu allowing interferocce from the county or State oflicials. To tnis com-~ pliment the Mavor rejoined that the insult wonld nover be forgotten. and he would as well remem- ber its anthor.

[rom the Oshkogh Norlhwestern. Alr. A. N. Bugbee bas just returned from the cranberry marshies of Barnett County, and hands us the Poli County Press,from which we take the following description of tho cranberry lands, in which so many Oshkosh people are interested. Mr. Bugbee is an_old resideni of Oehiosh, has lived for a long timo near the Iazge cranber— rv marshes in Green Lake County. After look- ing around for a short time, be reluzned to Osh- kosh and formed companies vith ample capital, and, lste in tho fsM of 1872, returnéd to, Burnett County. ~The com- panics formea to oporato in Burmett County, are Tiltor, Ruseell, Badger « Bartlett ; Irving, Morgan & Stevonson; Clark, Forbes, Griffin & Roberts; Tilton, Badger & Bugbeo, and Alr. Gill, Theso gensler:en are all residents of Oshkosh. They Lave bought from the State, altogother, 6,000 acres in Burnett Counts, at 75 cents per acre. Mr. Bugbee is of the opinion that thero is at least 15.000 acres of cranberry marsh in Township 39, Raoges 17 and 18, in Bur- nett County. After purchasing land they commenced to ditch it, and during the season just closed have dug ten miles of ditch, six feet wide, and one foot deep. Next year they will dig the ditch anotber foot in depth, meking 1t two feet decp. Thoy have erected about one ‘mile of smrall sod-dams, with three-fect head, to flow the marshee with water, a3 care must be taken not to dam too suddenly and put on too much water at one time. During tne year 1372 sbout 40,000 barrels were shipped from tho Berlin marshes in Green Take County. Theso gentlemen have picked about 6,000 bushels from the Bamet: Connty marshes during tho past scason, cleaned and I’lflcm them at Grantsburg, and hauled them to ush City, Minn., and shipped them via the Lako Superior & Mississippi Railroad. Tho Burnett marshes aro located six miles north of Granteburg and threo miles from Clam River. Tho berries aro worth from $1.25 to 3175 per bushel on the marsh, and are shipped to St. li‘ouis and Chicago, bringing 95, per bushel there. On the Berlin marshes about one-third of a crop was gathered this year, while on the Bur- nett marshies o good crop was gathered. Somo of these gentlemen contemplate moving to Burnett County to live. I. E. Doty will baild two buildings during the winter; they will bo 80520, 13 stories bigh, and are to be used for store-hotses. Three other buildings, 50x25, 13§ stories high, will bo built and used as slecping- houscs for the pickers, 500 of whom will bo em- loyed snother year ~during picking time, at £1.50 per day and board. Those partics coatemplate building & stcam saw-mill and cooper-shop to get lumber and ‘monufacture barrels. Thoy have already invest- od about £25,000. In the townships adjoining there is estimated to bo at least 12,000 acres of crapberry marsh. A new road is to bo opened to Pine City, a distance of four miles to the St. Croix River and ten_milos from tho St. Croix River to Pine City. From a recent isaue of tho Pino City News wo learn that the road is com- pleted. Tho BDurnett County berries took tho first premium at the Northern Stato Fair, held at Oshosh last fall. Woare informed that they are very much like the Cape Cod berry. s o e The Marringe of the Duke pf Edine burgh. The St. Petersburg journals, says the London Daily Standard, states that the marriage of his Rogal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh witii the Grand Duchess Mary of Russia has been fixed for the 20th of Januarv. The marriage, accord- ing to the rite of the Church of England, appcara to’ creata certain difficultios. In tho Greek Chuzch marriages tako placo in the evening; in the Church of England during the day between cortain prescribed hours, Hitherto the marrisge ceremony of Russian Grand Duchess with s Proteatant Prince sccording to tho Greek rite hos always_ beon followed by that sccording to the Protestant rito in ono of tho saloons of the Winter Palace, but a marriago according to the rite of tho English Church, must bo per- formed, in_a church, chapel, or other building specially liccosed. Our informant states that nothing has transpired as yot about the manner in which theso dificultica are to be eolved. Ar- raagements for the reception of the High Priests, who will be present at the marriago, continne to bo made. For the bridegroom, his brother, Prince Arthur, the German Crown Prince and his consort, tho Dukes_of Saxe-Coburg-Gotba and of Cambridge, and for Prince Alexander of Hoase, spertmenta bavo been preparcd at tho Winter Palace.
