A most horrible snd cold-blooded murder was ted in Queen Anne's county, Md., sapere woes ee soe which are thus given in the Centreville Citizen ot Saturday: Aman named Reamy Gilmore, an indastri- ous, bonest, and inoffensive farmer, aged about forty years—residing ona farm belonging to the beirs of the Inte Judge Chambers, on the rosd from Church Hull to Chestertown, about four mules from the former and two from the lntier place—was found dead at an early hour on Friday morning, and bis wife lying in an man and woman who Mr.Gilmore to “save fodder” tor him. ummediately gaye the alarm to one of more’s neighbors, the insensible condition, but still alive, by a negro bad been by 4 They - Gil- 5 "pet ——S between daybreak and sunrise.

The woman Martha says Bell then commenced rifling the baresa drawers, bat drove her from the room, and she does not know what amount of money, if any, Bell ob- tamed. After completing bis search for booty he left the premises, and that was the last she saw of him. Information Was afterwards obtained that 11 made bis way to the river, just below Chestertown, and ‘procuring a ‘small boat, boarded the steamer Chester as she passed, and st is supposed went to Baltimore. Un obtain- ing this information, parties were sent to in- tercept the steamer Trumpeter, in the Sassa- tras river, who went in parsuit of the mur- Gerer; and as the Trumpeter bas a much shorter route than the steamer Chester, she generally arrives in Baltimore in advance of that boat, and it is confidently hoped that the murderer was arrested upon his arrival in Baltimore.

Tae New TsrRitory of Wromno.—A Jarge number of the citizens of the new Terri- tory of Wyoming have petitioned the Presi- Gent \o complete the organization of their Ter- Titory, 4s soon as possible, by making ad inter- im apporatments of Territorial officers. It will be remembered that A. S. Paddock, Esq., was Rominated about the close of the sessiom for Governor, and the nomination was confirmed but supsequently reconsidered, as there was no approprianon for the pay of the officers of the Territory. The people have offered to pay all expenses of the new officers, if the Presideat would make ed ini-rim appointments. Bat the President has declined to take any turther ac- ton in the matter, until after the reassembling of Congress, Rezveinc Exrunszs.—The Secretary of the Treasury is engaged im reducing the expenses of collecting the customs, by discharging the useless force empleyed in the different cus- tom houses.

The Secretary signed am order Saturday cutting off $95.000 in yearly expenses of the New York Custom House. When the work 1s finished the reduction of expenses in the Customs ment will amount to over a million of dollars per annum. ‘Wuat Kitten Tax “Grecian Benp.”—The stcoping posture, styled the “Grecian Bend,” renewed by the watering place fashionables this season, is not practiced as much as it was. ‘We hear from Saratoga that it has been killed off there quite effectually by satire and bur- lesque. John G. Saxe, the poet-punster, who has been summering at Saratoga and writing letters to the Boston Post, first got the laugh on the fashion by calling it the “Colic Stoop,” and recommending the essence of peppermint as a remedy: bat the quietus was put to it by the work of a clever German Silhouettes artist named Schmidt, who made such droll, yet truthful representations of the ladies affected by the “bend” that all Saiatoga was ina roar of laughter, and his, silhouettes went off like hot-cakes, for fifty cents each. The ladies re. monstrated and the hotel-keepers attempted to stop his busy scissors, and succeeded, but the photographers reproduced his pictures and they sold by thousands, domg the business for the Grecian Bend most effectualiy. Saxe says of this absurd fashion - “Isee that a writer in the New York Times defends the usage in tion—shm ground enough, one granting it to be true—that it is the &s the “Grecian Bend’ of thirty years ago,which originated (so he tells us) with a certain grace. ful English Duchess several generations be- fore. however charming her grace may have been im spite of an affectation of this sort, the Teal origin of the ‘Grecian Bend’ is as patent as its topes by fashionable women is ridicu- ra Venar, and our nude f jurés, from the hands of the Greek scn)ptors, have failed to reflect that the curve im those beaut:fal forms is grad- ual and unbroken by corsets at the waist; and, above alt, ‘stooping x hata: Fal, and therefore graceful, attempt to hide what they can of their nakedness, ‘Olothed and in her right mind’ no sensible woman will think of umitating in public the shrinking stoop of comscious indecency.” SSPTEMBER Ssssioy.—Hon.S.
