The influences which have affected the course of prices during the week have been independent entirely of these ditferent . TS MONGY MARKET. Many of the shrew ler operators iu stocks were ‘ander the impression that the tendency which the Money market has shown to ease ever since New ‘Year's would meet a more or less serious check in the expanding volume of basiness at the Stock Exchange, and doubticas many contracts at the be- ginning of the week were made upon this hypothests, Phe relaxation, qowever, has sieadily progressed, and the prophecy of a five per cent money market before the Ist of February looks like realization. ‘The first week closed with six to seven per cent 28 ‘he race on cali. Yesterday fanoy loans were made at five per cent, and the offerings at six on stocks ‘Were abundant, althouzh some lenders contrived to @etseven. As might be expected, this decline haa affected commercial paper, which has been more @urrent during the wees at nine to ten per cent, although the extro:ne range for prime double name acceptances still coutinued at about eight to eleven Percent, The marsct was rather slow to yigid on account of four suspensions reported during the ‘Week, one of some account and the others for light @mounts, their cause belpg traceable to the decline fm gold, Tne prime bankers put up their rates for Sterling rather sharpiy on Friday, and maintained ‘sem in the face of a lignt demand for remitiances and of a better supply of produce bills, our exports Dewg fatteringly large.

New fea- tures came upon tie surface of speculation, while old. nes were more or jess negiected. The latter were Mot weak but simply somewhat Jower in price as eompared with their more buoyant periods. The @rat week of the new year produced a general ad- ‘vance of about aix per cent in the leading shares. ‘This advance has been fairly maintained the past ‘week, while the new favorites have veen brought up to the general standard, 4% 43 the deliverate pro- -gtamme of the cliques to “bull” stocks while Money remains easy. To be successful they must @ring in the outside public. A too rapid advance ould only keep the latter away. An advance -@f six per ceat every week would check the specu- lative tendencies of the public, especially since the September panic has led to unusual caution, An @utsider who 1s avout to venture, say upon North- West, will regard it favorably at 67 and may buy at 70, but let it rise to 75 aud he will abandon the idea, ®ecauso the stock has had too sharp an advance. By dropping it to 70 again, however, he will come in, Tne movements of the past week seem to show ‘the operation of tis or a similar system of tactics on the part of the cliques. They have not let old Prices go off too much to convey the impression that the market 1s weax, nor have they rushed it @bead too fast to keep out the general pubic. THE GOVERNMENT MARKET.

A'Terrible Aulmal in Page County, Ilowa— Eats Up Horses, Sheep and Hogs by Whole- sule. Mr. Homer Aldrich, who has been visiting his rela- tives in Page county, lowa, informs the St. Joseph Herald that m the vicimity of Buchanan, in that county, a large, ferocious looking animai was com- mitting great depredations among the farmers’ stock, killing 08 many us twenty or thirty head of hogs and sheep in one night. The animal also killed two horses and tnree cows for a farmer itving near Wiid Cat Grove, in which place this strange beast ™made his hidmg place. Taken altowether, the farmers of Page conuty have had killed 250 head ot stock. The animal was often seen, and ta described 8 being of @ dark brindle color, with jong, bushy 11, and in size between that of'a panther ana a California lion. Mr. Aldrich saw tho track in the snow, Which measured five 1ches across. Several parties had been in pursuit of the animal, but failed to capture him. At last accounts it had lett the west tork of 102 river and was supposed to be making tts way to DeKalb county, Mo., as Mr. Aldrich learued, on his reiurn In that direction, of several farmers having lost from twenty to forty hogs and sheep in a single night. The animal ts su Mi to be a cou- gar, Which probably escaped froth some menagerie. PRIVATE CHARITIES. The Retreat for the Insane at Hart- fora, Conn. The treatment of the insane is a subject which has occupied the minds of the best physicians of all ages, ana the differences of opmion in regard to the ‘Way this unfortunate portion of mankind should be cared for are almost a3 many as the persons who entertainthem, ‘'he insane asylum at Blackwell's Island aad that at Bloomingdale differ very much 48 o general thing in their respective modes of (reatment, but the general principle which actuates the managers of both institutions ts to use kindness and gentle measures instead of the harsh means once so much tn vogue “in past centuries. One of the most adintrable institutions for the insane in this country 1s THE RETREAT FOR THE INSANE near Hartford, Conn., which one of the papers of that city describes at great length:—The “Society for the Relief of tha Insane” was incorpo- rated in 1822, the State giving $5,000 wiih the charter, and adding afierwards sums that render the total of the benefactions of the State $24,000, Beginning with 1842, the State appropriated annu- ally sums varying from $2,000 to $20,000 nominaliy to the Retreat, and many were musied into suppoa- ing these to be gifts to the institution, but they were simply appropriations to be ex- pended under the direction of the Gow ernor for the board of the pauper insane, the towns paying in each case one-nalf. The Retreat charged nothing for rent, supervision or attendance, asking only reimbursements for the actual expenses of board. The arrangement waa cheerfully ac- cepted by the Retreut, but the time arrived when the demands of the State were likely to absorb all the accommodations and resources of the institu ton, leaving no room tor private patients. The Re- treat was relieved of its State patients last year, and after an interim isston of twenty-seven years the dl- rectors wore at ilberty to return te their original Policy, ‘ihe ‘Society for the Relief of the Insane,’ or Retreat, as we shalt call it for brevity’s sake, is nota joint stock corporation, but purely a charity, originating in the disinterested zeal of individuals, prompted and aided by leading physicians who found it impossibie to tak proper care of insane patients in private dwellings, 1: ts au association Of gentlemen without regard to party or sect, who derive no pecuniary benetit whatever, and in thelr annual meeting e.ect tue board of directors and ex- ecutive oficers; tne board chooses the managing and resident officers of the institution, directs its general aifairs, and extends over it a constant super- vision and inspection. ‘The ouly ‘aivideads” are Indicaced by the percentage of recovered patients. ‘The occasion: surplus of receipts has been mostly expended in permauent Improvemeuts, save that a fund of about $25,000 has accumulated. TIB LOCATION OF THR RETREAT possesses rare a vantages; it atfords a splendid view of the broad Connecticut river valley and the dis- tant mouutains; its spacious grounds are near to the city and yet nos embarrassed thereby, and are artistically laid out aud beautifully adornea by shrubbery and fine old trees. So far the new prob- Jem was alrealy solved. Its bulidings were oid and ‘ct entirely Quostanual; was it hecessary to rebuild ? he Board calied in the services of an ex- perlenced architect. His elaborate plans were unanimously adopted. Lhe didiculties of adapt ing old houses to modern tastes and neces- mtiee and to the greatly advanced demands of science are most bappliy overcome. By arustic touches the wooe exterior effect has been changed, making of the severeiy simple collection of barracks originally erected a picturesque group of great architecura! beauty. The great change is evident to ovd residents, out the internal alterations are much more extensive and costly. About $125,000 has been expenied. Two buildings about forty by forty aud and two stories high have becn erected, entirely re- lacing low one siory connections between old uiihogs. Two of tie other old buildings, which contained two rows Ot rather small rooms in each story. with narcow halls running between, have bad additions aiong their entire lengti sufticteat to supDiy tiers of goud rooins, wie broad halls occupy the whole space of one of the old tiers; that 18 where in the oid buildings were two rows of rooms, with a @ hall, are now one enlarged room and one enlarged hall, woile through what was once an outer -wall are entrances to elegant rooms. THE ARCHITECT'S IMPROVEMENTS. It ts impossible to describe the changes. They are found in we enlargement of rooms and halls, the addition of bow windows with delightiul views, the improved arrangement of the stoward's Qud apothecary’s oiices, the supermtendent'’s and directors’ rooms, the vastly improved de- vices for heating and ventilating, storage, cooking, &c., everywhere, in fact. It 13 a new tnsuta‘ion.

It 13 nota prison. One notices wita pleasure that tn place of prison bars there is in front of the lower sash only a tasieful lat- tice work Of tron, which antes grace with con- ceaied strengto. The upper half of the window is entirety clear, and ae @ close inspection dis- closes the fact that the sash itseif 1s of wrought iron. ‘Toe halls are wide, softly carpeted, wita many pic- tures along the walls, and frequent broad areas by bow windows, where easy chairs vempt to rest and reading. In the remodelled retreat the largest wards contain fifveen, aud that many can always be found who can be associated, put there are other waras accommodating Jess, even as few as four, and even suILs Of rooins having no connections Whatever with wards. ‘Ine smaller wards, containing four, are eie- gantly carpeted and furnished with every convenience of warorodes, bathrooms, £c., and ia eack wing ure jour suits of rooms, aifording a patient ms owa par- lor, bedroom, baturoom and water closet. PURPOSES OF THS INSTITUTION. It1s the parpose of the institution to provide am- ply for ail classes of the insane—everything that health and coutort demand for even the humblest, and spacious aud handsome rooms and suits of rooms for taose whose tastes, habits and weaiti re- quire them. modera science views insanity as pure- ly a physical disease. Robert Hall, tie great divine, whokuew whereol hespoke, said:—‘{f we could take irom tusanity the unreal horrors with which 16 19 in- vested we should deprive the disease of halfits mal nity.’ Dr. Brown, of the Bloomingdale Asylum, presents the common opinion of medical men de- voted to unis speciulty in sayiug:—"it can scarcely be too strong an expressiou to use, thai no piace can be considered too beauuful of wo valuable tor tae temporary refuge or permanent home of insane per- sons accustomed to tae Lugher comforts and iuxuried | enjoyed by many of our patients when in health.’ ¥ven in heaitu we are ail greatly influenced by ex- | ternal circumstances, how much more when the marvellous harmonies of the body and mind are ariven by disease inio Jangliag discord ?

THE BIDDLE-BALASKY SHOOTING. A Pretty Widow from Middletown Wants to Merry the Dying Man—A Mystery Unexplained. The HERALD of yesterday contained brief detalle of the shooting affray at No. 23 Bieecker street on Saturday night, whereby one Balasky was, tt 13 be- Moved, mortally wounded at the hanas of a man named Biadle. Captain Hedaen, of the Fifteenta precinct, yester- day made further investigation, that throws new light on the affair. It appears that the woman who gave the name of Raymona, in whose rooms the shooting occurred, is th® noto- nous panel thief Fannie Benedict, who has been frequently arrested, and is sald to be the most expert one of her profession in the city, mie Months ago her husband, Benedict, was de tected in a Brooklyn burglary and sentto Stog Sing. Fannie is of respectable parentage, and was origi- | Bally from Troy. Not wishing to let her family cor- | respondents know of her domicile she hasbeen in )the habit of having her letters addressed to the notorious private post oitice at No. 2 Amity street, until recently run by Balasky. Calling for letters there she became acquainted with the iussian, who hia visited her rooms frequently in the past. Some weeks ayo Fannie wrote to Troy tor her Young sister, who givs thename of Knickerbocker. She came on here, was imiatuaced by wie com- Manding presence of the Russian, who, she avers, succeeded in accomphshing her ruin under promise of marriage. Kuickerbocker states that a few days ago Balasky informed her he had secured an ap- ointment in one of the government oilives at ashington, but before leaving would arrange for her to draw a portion of nts ogee this city; that on Thuraday night Biddle and Balasky were play- ing cards th Fannte’s room for pennies. alasky me the victor, " Alter’ Gnishing the game he took When Biddle remarked — that like a Jew. This remark dd to Balasky by Knickerbocker, who ilves with him at the Devos House, on bieecker street, and he had been fearfully enraged tn conse- uence, and sought an Co aude eas to quarrel with ididie; that they met on Saturday pit, us already stated, when @ quarrel ensued. Baiasky attucked him, and he fired the fatal siiot to self-defence. Balasky lies at the hospital in a critical condition, Immediately alter uis*arrival ab the hospital he sent @ wlegraphic despaich to Middletown, N. Y., as foliows:. Miss E. Bas.asxy, Middletown, N. Y.:— Tam shot. Will no: likey live. Come on, This dispatch, he stated, was intended for hts sister. Yesterday morning a cartiage containing an oid gentleman aud lady and a young female, respec- tably dressed in a widow's garb drove upto the hospital. ‘The occupants encered, but the aged couple soon returned to the carriage and drove Tapidiy away, leaving the supposed widow to watch over the wounded man. It is said by the hospital omciais that the widow expressed great concern for Balasky's condition, and endeavored to prevail upon him to have a marriage ceremony pertormed. He, however, declined to yield to her importuntities. | There seems to be a mystery behind the veil taat has not yeb been cleared up. The widow ts descriocd ag about thirty-five, pretty and accomplished.
