The generosits of the late Mr. Newberry will in time give Chicago onec of the Dbest publie librarles fn this country, and ' the munificence of Mr. Lewls will enrich it in the courso of a few fears with one of the best Polytechnie Instl- tutes, open alike for young mien and young women, epecially founded for those who have not been blessed with wealth, but who desire to fit themaclves by study of the arts and sciences for usetul positions in lfe.

The majority of the lbunds are thoss of "tho Michigan . Central, Michigan South- crn, and Chicago & Northwestern Rail- roade. Judging trom a hasty glance by the re- porter over the schedule of these accuritles, ubout $50,000, conslsting of some bonds of the Chicago, Danville & Vinconnes sud some Missouri roads, tnust be worthless, but the re- mainder are undoubtedly good. DBut even allowing for shrinkage, thc cstate roust be worth is e 2650, at lenst €500.000. The principal, how- ever, s to bo left at interest until it amounts to $300,000, so that, it will be some years before the Institute can be founded, "Ihe greatest corc is taken in settling the detafla of the devise ko that itahall eperate, hut the discretion of the trustces is relied on 14 to the stwlics which shall be taught in the Institute, the lectures which are to glven, within the general Himits above prescribed.

Burnham has worked on the farm about four years past, and has been considered an upright, industrious verson of faie famlly,having good relatives tiving near here—ail well-known reshdeuts, For a year ormore past Burnbam had been desperately 1n love with Rosa, and become very jealous of her recetving attentions from any other gentlos men, Rosa, however, did not at oll lke Burn- hatn, and wonld mot recelve his atten- tions, and thus made him very angry and sullen. He has often made threats that she should be his wife or die.

Mr. Tritt then turted amd tried to go up-statrs to get his daughter, but could not, us the whole uppet part was all in flamee, mostly from his daughter's room, the door of which was standlug open, and he could just distinguish evidences of n terrible struggle there when the great heat drove him back. He and lus wife nad then barely time to escape {rom the house, nut being able to save anything, not cven any clothing. Neighbors liad by this time arrived, and assistance waas rendercd. Positive cvldence was discovered by them that Burnbam had early fledd, and it {8 beyond a doubt that he flrst pro- ceeded to Kosa's roum and_assaulted lier, tak- ing her life, then tired the louse in her * room, took his truuk and left, Chief Stack aud a rnny fmwedlately vlsited the fagm, and ate this alternoun found Buruham's trunk hid In o strawstack andis warm clew to the vil- laln, The girl's remalns were also . discoyered all burnt up exeept the upper part of the budy, which showed muny slgus of vivlence, and i been tightiy wrapped lu the bed quit.
