A gentleman asked : ‘‘ Have you any idea who gid it?” He replied, “ Certain! ye have—an enemy of mine.” Gent—‘ What is name?” Mr. Allison—“ It is William Connelly, of New York. ” Dr. Baker.—‘ Henry Connelly?” “ No, ‘William Connelly.” Mr. Allison tried to give the mumber and street of Connelly’s residence in New York, but he fainted. Gent.—‘‘ What did he do it for?» Mr. Allison—* Because I wrote him a letter, and teld him of his meanness to me and my wife.’ @ent.—‘Do you really think he intended to kill you?” Mr. Allison.—* Certainly, I know it. I am sure it was from him. I knew it was from him Dut did not think it was so bad asthis.” Dr, Baker—“If you thought so, why did you open it?” Mr. Alfison—“ 1 didn’t think it would be so bad, and I wanted to show it to you; I did not think it would beso bad as this.” Gent— You seem Sure it was William Connelly; what: makes you so sure? You should be very careful in acct ay one.” Mr. Allison squeezed the gentleman’s hand, and said: “Iwish you to notice that this is my dying word—that I am as certain it is William Con- Belly as that I am going to die.” Gent‘ Didn’t = do anything else ides writing ?” Mr. Aljison ld not answer, bot asked if Dr. Baker was present. * I want to tell him something particular about thia, before I too weak—before I die.” The room ‘was then cleared of all but Dr. Baker and Mr. ARI- Son, when the latter made some private communi- ¢ations. He died about 12 o'clock, and before his death said a number of times,“‘He did it—he Wreatened me—I expected something, but not 0 bad as this.” Mr. Allison was about thirty-one years of age, and had rather a prepoasessin; ce. In artment, divides uly by a mall passage from the room that contained the remains of her husband, lay Mrs. Allison,a young and handsome ‘woman @ few hours before, and now a horribly ‘mangled being, the flesh torn from both aides of her face, her right arm amputated, and her entire con- @ition so helpless that the physician remarked that it would be the greatest of mercies if she had never dzawn another breath. She was perfectly rational amid all her sufferings, which must have been as gevere 26 ever mortal endured. After the death of her husband, it was thought beat not to inform her of tie fact; but she remarked to Dr. Baker, ‘It’s of ne use, Doctor; I know he mast be dead, for he held ‘the’ box on his knee and was it when it ex- led.

Fam sur Fause.—Yesterday morning officer Lewis sexed, at the Waverley House, a dashing and remarkably good looking female named Cook, of whom intelligence had been received from Cleve- land that she wasa fugitive from justice, where she had been arrested upon a charge of adultery.

The parties stand in the delicate relationship of uticle and neice, the defend- ant being the husband of the aunt of the prosecutrix. It seems that the prosecuting witness, whoee name is Phillipena Engert, was, during the month of Se, tember, 1853, residing with the defendant, ase Reinhart, whose house is on Clark, one door from Freeman street. But here we will give an abstract of the testimony of Phillipina herself. She said that on the eve: of the 14th of September she had heen to a vilding party, and that upon return- ing to her uncle’s house, which she entered through a stable in the rear, he met her, and taking violent hold upon her, threatened that if she resisted he would shoot her; he accomplished his purpose, all the time holding a handkerchief over her mouth to prevent her screaming. Moreover, that he had some ten or twelve times previously attempted to effect his purpose. After the outrage, she went up stairs into her aunt’s room, and laid-down by her side on the bed for half an hour, when Reinhart came up and she retired to her own room. She did not reveal the ciroumstance, because she felt ashamed. On the 4th of the following month, (Oc tober,) she was married to Joseph Engert, and on the 16th of the present month baby was born. Her husband, two days after the birth, questioned her as to its paternity, and the lady then acknow- ledged the li faux pas which had occurred in the Btal U; the husband procured an alma- nac, and after examining the date, closed it with a will, exclaiming “It was all right. ” The examina- tion and cross-examination of this witness occupied over a couple of hours, at the close of which, no ot witness for the State being called, the counsel for the defence made a motion that the case be dismiss- ed, the evidence throughout being utterly worthless, inasmuch as it tended to convict his it of the orime charged. The lady had, in the scene of the stable, acted so palpably upon “Dean Swift's advice to maids over-nice,” so far as the struggle was con- cerned, which, with the secresy observed by. the (mented tor 80 spread pe ba oor rR conyince any un} person arge could not be ‘4 .

Morper.—From a gentleman who arrived in this city last evening from Geneva, we learn the foilow- ing particulars of a most brutal and fiendish murder which was committed at Blackberry grove, a short distance west of Geneva, about eight o’clock yester- day morning:—An En; man named Thos. Pauly owned a farm and dings, which were occupied by a man named Mitch: auly was in the dwel- Hing carly in the mena) when the children were eating some nuts and throwing the shells on the floor. The landlord remonstrated with them, and finally became very abusive in his language. Young itchell, aged about 19 years, told him if there was any blame in the matter, that he was entitled to it himself, as he had treated the children, and it was ungentlemanly in him to abuse the little ones. This infuriated Pauly, who threw a chair at the young man’s head. itchell then went out of doors, ob- tained a big stone, which he threw at Pauly, but it struck a door panel staving it in. aay then drew a big knife, rushed out after young Mitchell, caught him, and stabbed him to the heart, producing in- stant death. The murderer then fied, but a large crowd of pereons soon assembled, on hearing the news, and proceeded to search the country for Pauly. It is ba they succeeded in finding him.—Chicago Tribune, June 24, Pixzapine Poverry.—On Saturday, just from New York, called on Mr. Thompson for aid to ba his journey west, stating in all imaginable ways that he was entirely destitute of money to proceed on his journey. He then went so far asto make an affidavit to that effect. Mr. T. gave him an order for entertainment at one of the public houses till this morning, when the man pre- sented bimeelf again for aid. As the superintendent was about to write an order for a passage, he thought he would ascertain the contents of the mendicant’s poketa, and in d 80, found in a watch fob a fine ia watch c ten eagles, and dollars in other money. The fellow beggcd to be let off, said the mone; longed to his brotber, with nomerous other protestations equally reliable. Finally, he was told to remain in the till Mir. T. returned from the police office, which he did not do, but cut stick, was found stowed away in one of the care. He was hauled out, and taken to an emigrant, the ice office, where he plead for mergy in the moi et manner. On removed to the lock-up, he sank prone upon the floor in pure terror, when he was reprieved, and suffered to depart. This morning, another party applied for aid, when, on examination, $18 were upon one of them. ~~ Yd off without aid—Rochester Advertiser, june 26, Deeravetive Fire.—The distillery of P. L. How- lett, at Lockbourne, eleven miles below this city, ‘was destroyed by fire on Baturday night last. The fire was discovered about nine o’cloc! the upper story of the building, and burned with such etal? Ly as to render all attempts to extinguish it utterly useless. The loss of the buildings is estimated at fifteen thousand dollars, the stock at fifteen thou- sand dollars, and the machinery at ten thousand dollars, upon which there is an insurance of twen' two thousand dollars in the different offices in th! city. Twenty-one barrels of high wines aud a few sacks of malt were saved from the ruins. The newly covered canal was burnt down, and the re- mains falling into the water, obstruct the navigation in such a manner as to prevent boate from ing.

To « Juror—I did not go alone there with Mrs. Walker; three or four ladies were with us, and some gentlemen.

Walk-r’s; I then went to Mrs, Walker’s and she gave me a)l the information I desired; I wag only there a few moments. Te a Juror—When I left Mrs. Walker at the door of ker husband’s house in Boston, the reason why I did not par- tieularly notice any salutation pass between her and her husband was that the coach was leaving, ond I was oblig. ed to pursue it.
