At two o’clock yesterday afternoon Alderman Co- man, President of the Board, and now a member of the New York bar—the legal bar—took the chair in the old chamber of the Board of Supervisors, and called the Aldermen to order, At that time there Was a qnornin present, although the gentleman from the “deestreak” pear the “sunken lots’ was pot on hand. ‘The “emigrant bench” was crowded, and the space between the railing and the chaynber door was filled by a most motley assemblage, among which was ‘the captain,” who, speedily perceiving the peculiariiy of his position, vacated it for the companionship of decent men and took a seat at the reporter's table, The nice young man who reads the minutes having struggied through the dry and uninteresting document placed in tus hands rabbed his hat aud o ® his exit, probably to “wei iis hinge after his task, and then the work com- need.

All these matters were laid over under the rute, and then came papers from the Board of Counctimen—the Board wie! surpasses the Aldermen in forensic displays and grammatical, rhet- orical and logical disquisitions—Ninth avenue is to be regulated and graded between Eighiy-sixth and ittth strects; Laight sirect, White street and North Moore street are to be paved with some new fanged wooden arrangement, known as the Brown and Miller py Ment; several silewalks uptown are to be lagged, Crotén mains are to be laid and sewers constructed jn dliferent streets, in accordance with the wise pro- visions of ie Counetien. All these matiers hav- ing been laid over the Board took np “General Or- ders.” The first order was «lirecting the Comptroller to draw his warrant in favor of Felix Murphy for $100, for “serafs’’ worn at the funeral of Counetl- man Long. ‘Tie amount, it appoars, had been omit- ted by the clerk who made out the resolution order- ing the payment of the bills for this funeral. ‘This matter looks very much lke ‘scarf ‘skins’? it ts very “thin, and the grantee may count himself a ‘yelie” man when he gets lis money. Tue order was adopted, however, and then, by tlie unanimous vote of the Board, the Croton Board was ordered to move a hydrant t Mott street three feet from its present tocation, and to see to the laying of Croton, mains tn East Forty-tifth street, and the Street Com-- missioner was ordered to supetintend the erection of gas lamps inthe same street. These latter orders were for the beneft of the “gentleman” from near “the other end of the avenue.” Then the modest oung Alderman rises in his place, like a good litte joy, and, holding his book tn both bis hands, reads ou'—like a very modest man, as he is, and a white man, although a partisan of dejected Batier—the number of an order which relates to Ninth street on his book, but Ninetieth street on the manuscript; and then, when the mistage is discovered, he say “Oh, Mr. President, if you please, that ain't what want, I thought it was Ninth street.’ Being a good little boy he must have a nice littie bit of a bon-bon, and as the last matter don't agree with him the worthy papas find out what does, aul give it to him, and ‘that 1s ® crosswalk between Nos 6i and 62 Jane street. The venerable member of the Board—who generally votes to suit himself or his property, of which he has a modest share— | Was about to vote against the matter; but turning, he asked his young colleague in the battie for econ- chment, honesty, virtue, “Oh, baa that’s your’a, arnt’ it ?—ay ‘The tast word was in reply to the call of the working clerk, who ts so often obliged to call the names that the hair has been started from the top of his head, and who has by that mechs become—as Billy Birch would say— “barefooted on top."

Bishop Bayley visited St. Jopn’s Catholic church for the purpose of administering the sucraments of confirmation and first communion to some three hundred of both sexes on Sunday morning. The young postulants attended neatly attired, the snowy dresses aud wreaths and veils worn by the females, together with their personat charms, lending an agreeable effect to the ceremonies. Before adminis- tering the confirmation tie Bishop exhorted the children in a simple address on tie great objects of the rites they were about to receive. He then (us- sisted by the pastor, Father Smyth, and Father Gaber, of the German congregation), administered confirma- tion, after which he cetebrated mass.

From the detendant’s testimony it Appears that he organized a company and purchased an oil territory for $75,000, which was divided into seventy-five shares of $1,000 each. Plaintiit charges that it was by the allurements heid out to him by Grant that he felt constrained to invest in three shares; but the evidence went to show sthat not only did the defendant clo hts utmost to de- velop the resources of the region, but he has been a loser to an immense amount, and at present holds a great number of shares.

Pike, atias Ross, the murderer of old Mr. and Mrs. Brown, at Hampton Fills, N. H., a few days since, was arraigned before a trial justice thi morning on two charges of wilful murder. He peared very much dejected, and responded “guilty’ to both complainis. There was a large attendance of visitors from the surrounding towns, among whom there was manifested the greatest indignation and excitement. ‘The presence of a large police force, however, prevented any overt demonstration. ‘The accused wiil be fully committed for trial. Particulnrs of the Murder=The Cirenm- stances a Commission of the Deed=The Marderer=His Arrest and Final Confession, H., May 15, 1863, The citizens of southeastern New Hampshire were Unexpectedly shocked and startied ,by the announce. ment that a most appailing and cold-blooded murder had been perpetrated in the little town of Hampton Falls on the morning of Friday, the 8th of May. THE LOCATION OF THE MURDER. Hampton Falls isa smal! town of about seven or ight hundred inhabitants, pleasantiy situated in Rockingham county, seven miles southeast from Exeter, and about twelve west soutitwest from Ports- mouth, It is a farming town, ani comprises some of the dnest land to be found in Liis pari of (he State, THE VICTIMS OF THE MURDER were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brown, the former sev- enty-five years of age and the latter seventy-tiree. Mr. Brown was a wealthy farmer, the owner of con- siderable land and handsome buildings. He and his wife resided alone, the hired man who usually worked on the farm boarding with Mr. Brown's son, Who lives in a house situated some 200 or 309 yards from his father THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE MURDER. At twenty minutes of five o'clock on Friday morn- ing Mr. Timothy Leary, the hired man previously alinded to, went to nis employer's house as usual preparatory to his daily labor. He first knocked at the door, as he was accustomed to do, but received noanswer, He then wensto the barn, where he found the horse standing on she barn floor with the bridie on. It seems as if the murderer deter. mined to eacape on horseback, but subsequentiy changed his mind. Leary returned to the house and rapped on the window, but receiving no answer he went to the kitchen door and rapped loudly several times. At last the door was siowly opened, and Mr. Brown appeared with his head terribly gashed and covered all over with clotted blood, Leary, momentarily paralyzed at the frightful and anexpected appearance of Mr. Brown, staggered back in horror, but quickly recovering asked Mr. Brown what was the matter. The latter maile no reply, but although, weak from the loss of blood, managed to go to one of the inner rooms and get upon a bed, Leary entered the kitchen, where & Sight still more frightful than tuat airewdy witnsaged | | { E i H ] ' upon the brain, Mr. Brown kd and 6 quarter long, the frontal bone and a portion of the brain the wound.

Ross, Mr. hired him to work upon his farm, he remained, as before stated, until within a of the murder. Ross, whose real name is Josiah Pike, was born in Newburyport, Mass., and is at the present time about reef pe old. He married ten years ago, but his wife and child died soon after. During the war he served two years in the Mozart regiment, was twice wounded at the batule of Wi- lamsburg, once severely; was carried to the hos- no and soon after discharged, After his reco’ ¢ enlisted in the navy, and took of Mobile. Pike has rather a bad record, has been in tveuble many times for drinking and stealing, He had just completed a two years’ term in the Ipswich ‘Mass,) House of Correction—where he had been sent for robbery—when he hired out with Mr, Browm under the assumed name of Ross. While with Mr, Brown his conduct was unexceptionable, and he was well treated and cared for. When he left Mrs, Brown pitied him, and kindly made him a present of $4. Pike being the suspected murderer measures were at once taken to insure HIS ARREST, The olay marshal of Newburyport, upon hging shown atintype of the supposed murderer, at Onoe recognized the features of Pike. Upon inquiry ia various public places it was soon ascertained that he stayed at a public house in Newburyport a portion o€ ‘Thursday night; that he came there from Amesbury Mills, exhibited considerable money and Icft in a hurry Friday moraing. Conse ne ass he (Pike) miglt be at the residence of his (Pike’s) mother-in- law, on Vernon street, the city marshal, together with other officers, went to the house and found Pike conversing with his mother-in-law and another woman. He had just given his mother-in-law some bills, and had the wallet in hishand, He remarked to her, If have got some money now, but it won't jast always.” He was at once arrested and charged with the murder, when he answered, “Oh no; I guess not bad.” Upon examination it was found that he hod upon his person $171 and some od@ ange; that he had shortly before bought a new for which he paid $35, and also @ . He was soon delivered into the hands of the New Ham re officers ant taken forthwith to Hampton Fa’ thence to Mr. Brown's house into the very room where, a few hours pre- vious, he had so flendisily assaulted his benefactors. Confronted with the biooily evidence of his crime he mantested the utmost indifference, and coolly de- red (lat he was not guilty of the murder, THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM, although circumstantial, was of such a character as to leave no doubt of his guilt, It was proved that on the afternoon previous to the murder he calied at a small hotel in Seabrook, three miies from Hamp- ton Falis, and asked for a drink, stating that he was very dry, had walked ten miles, wanted a drink, but had no money to pay for it. ‘he proprietor gave him a drink, when he left, saying that he was going to walk to Hampton Falls, He was seen by sever persons on Thursday afternoon, and a lady saw him as late as eight o'clock in the evening. A® soon as Pike made the assault and rendered his victims ‘nsensible, ha pr to scaroh for money. He touk what money Mr. Brown had about his person, and taking the key from hia (Brown's) pocket unlocked the desk and took some more from the drawers, in the whole about The murderer then went to Amesbury, where he ar- rived about ten o’clock Thursday night. A cout be- longing to Mr. Brown, which hung in tne entry of his house the night before the murder, was found tn the room that Pike slept in at Amesbury. Some papers belonging to Mr. Brown were found undisturbed im the pocket. When arrested Pike denied that he had been to Hampton Falls or Seabrook at all; said his name was Ross; but upon being made aware that le was fully recognized admitted that his name was Pike, Mr. Brown was conscious at short iater- vals on , and said, “John Ross was and burt me.” He alse recollected events pre- vious to weing struck, but gave no evidence of dis- tincily remembering anything afterward.

AND MRS. BROWN. Mra. Brown gave no sign of consciousness, but gradually grew weaker until Saturday morning, when death ended her sutferings. Mr. Brown lingered along, with intervals of ‘returning reason,” until Wednesday morning at one o'clock, and then quietly breathed his last. Tis ended this most horrible tragedy—a cold biooded, brutal murder, that has ne parallel in the annais of crime in New [lampshire. The victims were highly respectable people and were reatly beloved by all who knew them. . The indigna- Uon of tue community against the murderer is Most im- tense and can scarcely be subdued by the customt restraints of the law. Next Monday (May 18) Pike to have a further examination at Exeter, and it is thought by some that the indignant citizeus will sum- marily lynch him. Whatever may be the strictly le- gal aspects of the case, justice evidentiy demands @ terrible and swift retribution. PIKE CONFESSES HIS GUILT. At five o'clock P. Me on Monday, the 1ith, Pike, on learning how strong was the circumstantial evidence of his guilt, indicated to the keeper of the jatt, To. sherut N. K. Leavitt, that he Knew something of the murder and called for writing materials. Upon be- ing furnished with these he sat down and wrote a foolagap page concerning the murder, acknowledg- tng that he did the horrid deed. He says he does not know what prompted him to commit. the murder; sloes not want a trial; does not want to die; but is ready to suffer whatever punishment 13 ordered, whether hanging or imprisonment for life. Uf mat- ters take the ordinary course, Pike, after the prelim. inary examination next Monday, will be remanded to jail until the October term of the Supreme Judictat Court, which will be held at Portsiiouth, where he will be removed for trial, and, we trust, for convie- tion and execution, LABOR MOVEMENTS.
