He bas in the yard attached to his premices a beautiful garden, and in the garden a fine lot of bees. 1n this garden his mostestt- mable lady spent & good deal of her time, it being 4 pride of ber’s to be among the flowers Yesterday morning. about 9 o'clock, Mrs. D. parted with her husband, he being called on a professional visit to the country. She went into the garden, as was her custum, and had pot been in it more than 8 minute before sne ‘was stung twice by's bee—once upon the neck, and agnin underneath the lefteye Mrs. Dono- hoff being a fleshy lady, fell heavily to the ground. Assistance was called. batit was ev: dent she was sinking fast. In fifteen minutes she was a corpse. Her busband returned from the country, bringing her some flowers, but his feelings can be better imagined than de. +cribed when the sad news fell upon his ears. We understand that the deceased was subjeet to apoplexy, having had an attack of it afew years ago. nd it is more than probable thatthis mostexcelient lady was frightened of apoplexy by the sting of the bee. a indy beloved by all who knew her ; an affec- Monate wife and mother.

A Fort Harker despatch says great indign: tion exists among the people there, in con quence of theindifference of the military an thorities, aud their manner of suppressing Indian raids.

Both George and Charlie Burt were present at the council. Colonel Leavenworth thinks he can influence a coun- cil of tribes at some point agreed upon, but it cannot be done through the military, for the Indians do not trust them. re A Co.orep Girt Kivtep sy Her Lover.— About halt past ten o'clock last night the most intense excitement was created on Franklin street, near Park, by the discovery of a brutal murder in house No.6. It seems from the statement of an old colored servant that about eight o'clock, last evening, a negro named Jcbhn Dixon came tothe house to meet a col- ored girl. 2 domestic, named Mary Ellen ‘Waters, aged eighteen years, to whom he was engaged to be married. She (the witness; was induced by Dixon to go out for the evening, wRich she did. and upon returning about half past ten o'clock. she was horrified at finding the girl lying apom her face in the mtddle of the kitchem floor, welteping in her blood, with her throat_cut ear toear. She at once we the siarm, and policemen Soulden, ftus and Baker were soon onthe spot. It Was discovered tnat a negro man named Wm.

Dixon, the de- scription corresponded eo exactly with that of the man ehe had left in company with de- ceased. as 10 leave no doubt of his being the guilty party. Detectives Pointer and Morris, and sergeant Burke at once atarted in seach of the accused, whilst Coroner Greentree was summoneé to bold am inquestover the remains. The deed was committed in the back yard, as shown by atrail of blood, the accused escap- ipg through a back alley.

THE Ligvor Law in Maine.—A Bangor corresponcent of the Portland /’ress asserts the truth of the statement that the eale of cider has been ordered stopped by the Stite consta- bulary : that no liquors can be openly bougnt except at the city agency, but that itis very evident that strong compounds are sold else- where. He adds: “At the risk of being called a ‘rum tavorer,’ I will state another facr, i.e, that a trong anti-prohibition and anti-consiabulary feeling is rapidly gaining ground among our people. I hazard the prediction that our representa- tives to the next Legislature will be pledged to work for the repeal ot the Constabulary law and to modify what are termed the ob- noxious featnres of the present liquor Jaw stainte—imprisoument clause. &c. Certainly such tall is frequently made and eagerly lis- Teped to among many of the most prominent Enion politicians im our city, and 1 teel safe ip making the assertion that an organized effort to that end will soon be manifested among the more liberal Republicans.” THe Naw OaTHoric MONASTERY AT Bat- ‘TIMORE.—The Inying of the corner-stone of the new Uatbolic monastery, under the auspices ‘of the order of the Passionists. took place in Baltimore yesterday afternoon, in the presence of from three to five thousand persons The which were very solemn and i pressive, were performed by the Rev.

He ‘wandered about the city until Monday even- ‘mg, when he was found by two gentlemen, who took bim to the Conoelleville railroad depot, aud put bim on board the train for home. Some time during the night he went into the paper mill of Markle & Co, at that place, where it appears they use a large quantity of sulphuric acid, or blue vitriol, for the purpose of Cleaning rags preparatory to working them into paper, a quantity of which was In alarge ston pitcher sitting ona table in the apartment where Beeson entered. Having been drinking liquor for several days he was very thirsty, and finding the pitcher supposed it contained water. He took up the pitcher and drank freely of the contents, as is very naturally supposed from the fact that bis clothes, breast, and tace, all showed signs of having been in contact with the liquid. He was foand yesterday morning in an insen- sible condition. It was decided to take him bome, and he was accordingly put on board the man! train East, and made as comfortable as possible by having a lounge put in the bag- gage car, on which he was placed, and attended by Dr. Robinson and his brother. He appeared to improve under the treatment and care ren- dered him for a short time atter starting for home, but about ten o'clock he began to grow weaker, and show eigns of extreme pain, which lasted antil a quarter past ten, when he died in the most excruciating pain.

His hat, glasses and cane were lying by his side, and bis effects were found in his Pockets undisturbed. They consist of two fresnly plucked daisies, aémall quantity of blue vitriol, afew unimportant papers. and rome trinkets: while in the breast et of his cost was an ambrotypeof his dead child whom he is eaid to have loved with a devotion emounting almost to idolatry. He is known to have once remarked toa friend, as he pointed to the grave of bis little one: “Under that mound my heart lies buried.” Mrs. Atwood was at Ningara with her parents, and was notified of the shocking event by telegraph. The caueed of Mayor Atwood’s death was an- known, althongh it seemed plain that he had commitied suicide.

THE MARYLAND ConsTITUTIONAN CONVEN- TION has, it appears, finslly settled the much mooted point of the salaries of the Judges un- ger the new system, the judiciary report having been again ordered toa third reading.

The vote ordering the constitution to be submitted to the people om the 25th of September was rescinded, and the 1th of September fixed as the day. It was also ordered that the constitution shall go into effect on thesth day of October. The article on education came up on Saturday on its third reading, and was passed without amendment. The article creating a department of labor and agriculture was put on ite paseage, but failed to receive the requisite number of votes.

It would seem, however, from some remurks in the British Medical Journal, that we no lenger find an ascending series in the ecale, but mast leok ata reverse movement. at least as relates to England. A comparison of the two earlier English life tables with the Jatest which has just been elaborately calct- lated by Dr. Farr, show that the probabilities of duration of life at every uge have decreased between 1€41 and 1854, the Intest year te which the calculations extend. This decrease is greatest at the age of 2 to 40, the most active and busy period of existence. but in which tle battle of life is carried on with the greatest eagerness and passion, and exhaustion of the faculties of both body and mind.
