Orrawa, Canada, July 25, 1870. We have in Canada supped full of horrors and \patiated ourselves with sensations this week. 1 ass over such trivialities as fires, whose lurid laze Was seen at a distance of ninety mili thunder storms, tornadoes that unroofed houses and sent the stous.o0 wees crashing limbless, men Jott piackened attestations of the lightuing’s power, deail.on the road or in the furrow; husbandmen Impeled on pitchforks, men with.eems wrenched off by machinery, cases of drowning in harbor, and stabbing affrays between sailors. Instances of all'these have sickened the reader within the ‘past few days in quiet Canada. It {s not often, however, that it is tne good fortune of a corre- spondent to have placed at his disposal four good murders, about each of which there are circum- stances which may be, in the parlance of the | pulpit, “improved.” Such, however, is the case Ha as will shortly be seen. | It is too often the case with Canadian Journalists ‘to Ignore the law of averages and to forget that there is 4 PERCENTAGE OF MURDER IN CHE PUREST MAN. ' This theory is forced upon our acceptance by atistics beyond contradiction or impeachment. en conditions of society almost equal, and the ‘annnal rate of murder per million of the popula- tion will not be found to vary one-fortieth, In France, England, Austria, Prussia, Germany and the Netherlands long and carefully prepared Trecords show that the murder roll for any year in ‘any one of the countries can be foretold with a wonderful accuracy. In Italy and Spain the averages run much higher, as might be expected. ‘It is just like tho fatal accidents to passengers in ‘the streets of London, where so many must infal- bly be crushed and mangled in one week, or the ‘rules of statistics will be proved incorrect, which ‘is impossible. It is the popular thing in Canada ‘to assume that the rate of murder, burglary, 8e- duction, adultery, incest, embezzlement, Bo- Demian journalizm and other analogous crimes is much higher in the States than in Canada. Editors felicitate themselves on ‘the fact that monarchy means morality, and that republicanism is but a synonym for ‘rapine and red-handed murder. They claim that ‘there is ton times as much crime in the States as Vin Cauada, So there is. But there is also ten "times aa much population. Thave carefully kept the bloody record for the ‘last three years, taking the Heratp as the blue ‘book, red book, Newgate Calendar, Almanac de Gotha and general mirror of America, I have ‘compiled accurately : THE BLOOD-RED ROLL” ; ffrom its special correspondence and telegrams, “while, on the other hand, I have taken such figures a3 wero presented me from the weekly perusal of probably a thousand Canadian journals. I pro- pose, at some not distant date, to ‘dwell’ upon this subject at some length in the Hera, if per- mitted. It may suffice for the present to say that, allowing a small margin for cases unreported, and assuming the population of the States to be forty millions and that of Canada four, the records for three years show the following result:— Murders committed in the States 130 to 100 in Canada, of total population. i Eastern States 100, as against 103 in Canada, Rot inclading New York city. i Northwestern States 100, as against 104 in Canada, America, as compared with European average Of six nations and 140,000,000 of souls, 108 to 100. So that between Canada and the States we have @ difference of about thirty per cent, of which much must-be allowed for urban populations, the vast excess of property, which increases crime; the now mining countries where lawlessneas prevails, and the violent elements superinduced by freeing #0 many slaves and the recency of war. The grand average only varies eight per cent from the accu- rate records of Europe. We are, then, entitled to assume that in every human organization lies latent a certain percentage of murder, adultery, thoft. Figures prove it, or at least give & result which no other hypothesis will satisfy. It would, therefore. be interesting to watch how infallibly the bloody total comes out, to see who are the men out of one million who must be killed by this day next year, unless ave- xage is wrong, which is about as likely as that two and two should cease to make four, or that ‘the sun—or the Heraip—should fail to appear of a morning by break‘ast time. But Providence takes care of that. When a sufficient number of lives is not being taken on the railroads and rivers up comes the re Sep salad of Providence, ‘in the shape of the Erie ‘ilway, or & Mississippi horror, and things are all right again. Thus the profound philosopher may see how even Jubilee Jim or Captain Tom Leathers may be an instru ment of Divine Providence. And thus a Pantin ora Marshall tragedy brings up the ghastly ave- jrage of murder, , ‘has it was inCanadaa fortnight ago. We were ‘falling behind in our average, MORE MURDERS HAD TO BE DONE, jand how they were pencmpranee succpssfully the Heraxp correspondent will now proceed to show. At Kingston, Ontario, is the great Proviu- cial Penitentiary, the Sing Sing of Canada. Its numerous warders, its high walls, its inexorable bolts and bars seem to bt oe of any misera- Dic anit of the eight wretched hundreds who are ‘here had in custody. And yet there are occa- sional escapes or attempted escapes. It is only a few months since a rising was attempted, and one dapless convict was shot dead by the carbine of x guard, The labor of many of these men is let out to contractors, who employ them in making Shoes, in cabinet work, &. Many more are em- ployed in quarrying rock and in erecting the walls of a lunatic asylum, or toil to’ build cells, which, ‘haply, their children may occupy. These quarry inen are worked in small gangs at some distance from the Penitentiary in charge of armed guards, each bearing a gun and revolver. The system is poose, and the avenue of possible murder is thus ‘kept unbarred. A FAMILY IN PRISON, In this Penitentiary was immured, some time go, for the crime of housebreaking, an entire family—father, mother andson. Their name was Mann. The son, David, is aged about thirty-five, a slight, ner@ous man, with sharp features, keen eyes, a nose bent as if from a blow, and dark, snaky hair. His mother is still confined in one of the women’s wards; his father died in the Peni- tentiary. He had been to the States and seems to have behaved well there, although in Canada he belonged to a rough gang, known as the Malahide raiders, James Smith is a short and thick-set man, light haired, with a heavy countenance ; such a man as ould readily be inspired by a superior intellect. was born near Kingston, is thirty-six years eld, and had served half of his time of six years for cattle stealing His father died many years a fe and his old mother is now in the United Bates. i These were the actors inthe tragedy. The vic- ‘Hm was one of the guards, a young man named ill, of respectable family, being connected with the taleuted family of authors and author- esses, pioneers in Canadian literature, the Traills, Moodies and others. He had only recently been appointed. or gome four months Many and Smith had worked together in the quarry and at the lime- Serato tape ee to ref other of escape, tormer otanion ta ie + meee Mann Ami on 8 t A DARING LEAP FOR LIFE and liberty over a wall, but had been captured, Bat his mind was made up, and when one of the convicts expressed astonishment at the leap Mann said defiantly, “I'll take a bigger jump than that Rome of these days."’ Query, the drup of the gal- lows? The plan of escape Was made. At dinner hour they would be left alone with the guard, who was to be stunned by a blow. ‘Then, taking his arms, they were to escape to the woods and thenoe, if possiblo, cross to the States.

At miduight they broke into a milk-house, where they obtained an axe,some piesand bread. They slunk through the woods all THE QUIET SABBATH DAY, About dusk they crossed the bridge of the Grand Trunk Railway at Gananoque. Three men were standing on it, but Maun said boldly, ‘‘They will think us railroad men,” and passed without chal- lenge. About three miles east of one the came to the wide St. Lawrénce, beyond whic! was freedom. But they could find no boat, and pursuers were on their trail. Patrols of cavalry were out scouring the country, soldiers and de- tectives were on every road, the disappointed murderers passed up from the river they were espied and fired upon by the volunteers. Drop- Ping the axe and their bread they ran about forty to some rocks near a barn and hid themselves in the crevices. Here they remained until nine o’clook on Tuesday morning, They could see and hear their arsuera seeking them, and almost pass- ing over them, and once a little dog crept into the cave, licked the face of the murderer, Mann, and quietly trotted away, wagging his tail amicably, On seer morning the pursuit ha slackened and again they made for the woods. On their way they got some chickens, and 80 ravenous were they ate the raw flesh. About noon they entered a house and secured a pair of pants and ashirt. All Tuesday night they walked along the railroad track, hiding in the bushes whenever the trains went roaring by. At day- break they again took to the woods near Lans- downe. Until tne following Monday they kept on their toilsome through the forest, almost always so near the highways that they could hear the TRAMP OF PURSUING ROOFS. They stole and killed a lamb, and ate part of the hindquarters grilled over a fartive fire. About threo o'clock on Monday morning they reached Graham's Lake, near Brockville, and strack a fire to rid them of the myriads of mosquitves. The: tried to sleep, but they could not; indeed in all their ten days’ wanderings they say they did not sleep twenty-four hours, so closely were they hounded, so troublesome were the flies and mosquitoes, They were tired out, almost naked, almost starved, worn with sleeplessness. In this for- lorn condition they were surrounded by a party of some twenty men. They waded into the lake up to their necks, concealing their heads behind a stump. Their pursuers passed very near them, but did not perceive them until Mann started to ewim away, when he was captured and “‘peached”’ on Smith, who was next secured. ‘Thus, after ten days’ wanderings, Nemesis at last laid her grasp ou her victims, not to be loosened until she hands them over to the hangman, A ROMANTIC MURDER. The murder which I have just recounted is suffl- ciently commonplace; but that which Ihave now to describe has about it many redeeming features of romance worthy of Miss Braddon, The ac- counts of the murder are somewhat conflicting, but from what 1 can gather the facts are about as follows:—In the pleasant and peaceful village of Sherrington, among other pretty girls, was one in particular, the daughter of a wealthy farmer. She was handsome, educated, affec- tionate, an heiress, and wanted nothing, not even a tilter, to make her a belle and a good match. Among the numerous village swains who owned the influence of her charms were two pre- eminent rivals, both merchants, one named La- france and the othernamed Pelletier. The rivalry between these two ran high, although fora long time it did not assume any features other than those enerally manifested by rival lovers. Finally La- rrauce proved himself the better wooer of the twain, and the news was circulated through the village that he was shortry to wed with the fair Adele. Pelletier, the unsuccessful lover, took his defeat more sorely to heart than was generally the case, and was heard to mutter that the marriage was not yet over, and that “(DEAD MEN NEVER MARRIED.” No weight, however, was at:ached to his threats or moodiness, and the days passed on until the weck appointed for the wedding. Two days be- fore the jour des noces the intendent bridegroom aid a visit to his sweetheart, and remained with er family until near eleven o'clock in the (dare when he mounted his horse and rode away gay! in the direction of his home, whistling carelessly. On his way he had to pass through a lonely stretch of road, bordered by deep, swampy ditches, and running through a wood of some ten or fifteen acres. Although there was moonlight the trees made the road gloomy, and what hap- pened in that sullen shade and beside that dead water only One Eye could see. Suffice it that at early morning Lafrance’s horse was found, rider- less, in the road, while the body of the lover, so soon to be united to the object of his affections, lay in the copse, with a bullet through his heart, dead. No robbery had been committed, but the public curiosity at once hit off a clue, and the sudden and unexplained absence of Pelletier ives sad confirmation to the conjecture that fealousy had urged him on to murder, I think that Miss Braddon and the Bowery itself would not want a better sensation, but they would hardly lay the scéne in America and make the time Saiy” 1870. And so for the one thousandth time Truth has proved herself stranger than fiction. ‘The third murder whose “dainty dish” I can lay before the readers of the Henaty. smacks of the RAAL OULD TIPPERARY STYLE, and is quite Irish in conception, execution and vic- tim. In the parish of St. Sylvester, near Quebec, a quarrel had arisen between a man named Cro- teau and the village attorney, Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns went to tender some money in a land dispute to this Croteau, and the latter tendered him a re- ceipt in full by cocking a loaded gun, and placing the muzzle about six inches from the notary’s nose. The notary fled, and at once laid a com- plaint before the Judge of Sessions at Quebec, ob- taining a warrant for the apprehension of Croteau, and subpoenas to compel the attendance of wit- nesses. These subpoenas were entrusted to a bailiff named Donohoe, better known as ‘‘Nosey,”’ from his having had his nose sliced off in an en- counter. Donohoe set out on horseback on his errand, and had reached @ small grove on the property of a Mr. Landry, near St. Sylvester, when a bullet from an unknown rifle struck him on the throat, beneath the jaw, and, crashing through the skull, almost took off the top of the unfortunate man’s head. He was dead ere he tumbled into the dust. Who fired the fatal shot is not known, although suspicion has fastened on a man named Lynch, formerly a soldier in the American army. A body of police are in pursuit of him. Croteau is also closely watched, suspicion having been excited by the manuer 10 which he wept over the victim and by the zeal which he has displayed in urging on pursuit of the murderer. St. Sylvester has enjoyed a bad reputation for many years back. ‘About 1857 troops had to be sent thither to procure tho arrest of several murderers, and afterwards the train on which the troops were re- turning was thrown from the track by obstruc- tions placed on the rails. Itis only a few weeks ago since a similar attempt was made upona train laden with volunteers. ‘The last of my quartet may be a murder or may not be, as events decide. I give the facts and ra- mors, distinguishing between them, suppressing names. About a week ago we in Ottawa we roused about two A. M. by the fire bells, and found that a small bakery, wherein the two bakers, partners, slept, was on fire. Oue jumped from the window and escaped, and the body of the other was drawn from the flames most fright- fully mangled.’ A more sickening sight it has rarely been my lot to witness. ‘A SIGHT OF HORROR, One Jeg was burned, oc rather cooked, till the skin had cracked and shrivelled away from the roasted flesh, Boveath the knee all was burned, away. The other had gone above the knee, and about five inches of the charred bone protruded beneath tie baked and bloody thigh, Part of the abdomen and side had been completely burned out, Where the body had lain on the coals, so that the entrails were visible, and some of the minor intestines protruded. The flesh on the shoulder and one arm was burned away, and the bone calcined. The other arm and hand were beneath the trunnx and head. The eyes and flesh and cartilage of the nose were burned away, and searrcely a shred of flesh was left on the face. The hair was singed off, and the whole back and crown broken in as ifby an aw'ul blow, oozed out of the aperture. The f humani ity was between two and a ree feet in length, And this had been « stalwart man! geet was held) and from the evidence ell- cited it seemed probable that, in attempting to es- cape, the flooring, burned through, had given way beneath him, allowing him to fall into the blazing alf beneath, while the murderous wound on tho ind head was ascribed to a falling rafter. Ru- mor, however, was busy, and declared, horrible as such @ crime would appear, that the man must have been killed and the body given to the flames to avoid detection. Late last night J heard that the valuable gold watch of the deceased had been recognized upon another man, and that investiga- tions into the matter were about to be made by the proper authorities. We therefore await anx- jously the elucidation of this mystery. Such are the four cardinal sensations of the week in quiet Canada, ‘ FASHION IN BRITAIN. Englishmen in America and Americans in Eng. lJand—International Receptions—English Pashionables Apathetic as a Body— Selfishness and Preocoupation—A Young Ladies’ Day—Health of Queen Victoria. of Lonpon, July 11, 1870. T happenen to sit at a large dinner party the otner night between an Englishman, who had lately re- vurned from @ somewhat extended tourin the United States, and an American who ts ‘doing’ England ‘this year for the first time, It was very curious and not @ little instructive to listen to what each had to say upon the same subject. My countryman was loud In his praise of the kind and warm reception he had met with in America; but your feliow citizen seemed to be in despair at the very little prospect there was of ever penetrating the interior of family Mfe—of ever being wéicomed as a guest to anything save formal stiff dinners aud parties in England, ‘The Englishman told me that he had left England for the United States about a year ago armed with but three letters of introduction. One of them was to a merchant in New York, the second to a well known literary man in Boston, the third to a Senator at Washington, ‘Anything,’ he said, “like the hearty, friendly welcome I received not only from these gentlemen but also from their friends and the friends of their friends I shall never forget. Be- foro I had been a week at New York I was on friendly conversational terms with almost as many people as I knew in London, and not a day passed that J did not receive an invitation—often two and three—to dinner. Iam quite sure that bad I remained sfx months instead of one in New York, énd had I been able to eat two dinners a day, 1 need never have dined at my own expense.” “But,” he continued, and I think I remember the exact words he used, “but it was not merely the Dospitality of all that I met with that delighted me so much; it was the wit, the evident desire to make themselves pleasant and iriendly to a stranger, which animated every one I came across, I am neither @ wealthy man nor a statesman, nor an emi- nent literary individual, The good people of New York never heard my name before, and the chances: are they will never hear it again. But they knew and could see that 1 was one of the same speaking race from the east sife of the Atlantic, and they de- termined to make my sojourn agreeable to me. And this Was not only the cause with those to whom I brought letters of introduction, but also to quite as great an extent with those L met at their houses, Mr. A. and Mr. B, and Mr, C. would meet me at the house of Mr. D., to whom I had brought a letier ot introduction or to whom I had perhaps been Intro- duced at the house of Mr. E., whose acquaintances Thad made througu Mr. F., to whom I had brought a letter trom Europe. It was quite enough, A and B and O asked me to their houses and mtroduced me to other friends, Who asked me to theirs, and who were ail of them always ready todo me any kind ness.?? NEW YORK SOcIrTy. “And how,” 1 asked my couulryman, “did you like soctety in New York t”" “it 13,7 he sau, “the pleasantest I ever came Across in any part of the world, ‘The ladies are the brightest, most sparkling conversationalisia T ever met with, ‘there 14 nothing of that vapidness of tone which prevatis In London from a month after the commencement of the season until the end. ‘The lively, Witty and earnest style of taik in a New Yi or Boston drawing room used to remind me of 8 ety in a good English country house, except men do not couflne their cony the ‘SALON, aS 18 Luo oiten the case with us, to horses, dogs, hunting and shooting. The ladies are ail wonderfully well dressed, and seem with their French mithioe to have imported French good taste into the States, ‘The only thing 1 could never understand is what be- comes of their oid ladies, for they all look s0 young that a matron of fifty is a sight unknown,” Such were the opinions of a London fashionahie maa (member of a noble family), and one who has for a quarter of acentury moved in the very best circles of England, France and Germany. He has lately made @ tour of some months In your country, and thus he records his optmion of society in whe West. THE AMERICAN IN ENGLAND. The American gentleman sitting on my other side gave, however, a very different account of tiie nos. ‘ped of people m this country. He told me he had come to England armed with more than a dozen letters of introduction, Two of them were to cait- net ministers now in office; one to a very leading man in the literary world of London; six or seven to members of Parliament; two to peers with large cs- tabiishments in town; three or four to city magis- trates, and soon, He had, as he said, certainly been asked out to dinner, and had also accepted invita- tions toa few balls; but there his intimacy with Englishmen and women seemed to cease, “Lhe reception I meet with at one house,” he said, “is so exactly like what I meet with at another, that it Would almost seem as if there was a stereotyped formula, laid down by law, for the manner and tue amount of kindness which 1s to be vilered to strangers, A wise man always tries when in Rome vo do as Rome does; and, therefore, | have followed to the letter what is this custom’ on these matters in England. Thus, let us say, on the 1st of the month I send my letter of introduction to Lord A. or Mr. B.; 1 endorse tt in a letter from myself, written in the third person, and dated from th Langham Hotel, where I am staying. About the 7th or sth of the month—certainly not sooner—I find Lord A.'s or or Mr. B.'s card left for me at the hotel. It would not be deemed the correct thing at all if I Was im too great a hurry to respond to this civility; therefore [ don’t go to leave my card at Lord A's or Mr. B.’s until the 12th or 13th. The chances are, ten to one, that I find the owner of the house out, and as for asking for Lady A. or Mrs. B., uf [ did so the footman or hall porter would deem me mad. I therefore hand in my pasteboard and am off. About the 18th or 20th of the month I receive @ formal tnvi- tation—written, or more likely still, printed ona card—asking me to dinner on tie 28th or s0th. Here, then, 1 am # whole month in London before I come face to tace with the gentieman to whom [ have brought a letter of introduction. Why, in New York or Boston I should have any Englishman who brought me a letter of introduction to dine with me in twenty-four hours, and in three days he would have known more than half my irtends as well as 1 know them myself. DINING IN “GOOD socTETY.”” “But,” he continued, “what is the dinner at Lord A.’s or Mr. B.’s, When Ido get there? Iam taken up stairs, my name is called out, Lord A. or Mr. B, comes forward (very kindly and very gentiemanly in thelr manners, I acknowledge) to welcome me, I am introduced to Lady A. or Mrs. B., and to one or two others of the assembled guests. We go down to dinner; everything very grand, very formal, very vapid. The host certainly tries to be civil to me, and for that evening he makes more of me than Of any Of his other guests, The hostess is not gra- cious, iget a very excellent dinner, and am asked a number of not very wise questions about America, ‘The other ladies of the party—and more particularly the younger ones—have, as a rule, the most offen- sive manner Of silently staring at me all the time T am speaking; and if an American lady is present they look at her as if they expected her to eat with her toes or utter an Lodtan war Whoop between the courses. The dinner goes on through an Infinite number of dishes which are hardly touched. We come down to dinner at a quarter belore nine P. M., and we leave the dining room—gentlemen and ladies together—a few minutes after eleven o'clock. After dinner coffee and tea are served. If it 18 during the Lon- don season the party breaks up before midnight, for the ladies have nearly all to go to balls or other as- semblies—perhaps to more than one—the gentlemen are due at the House of Commons, or are going to hear—that 1s if they are too old to dance—the chit- chat of the day at their respective clubs, i make my bow to Lord A. or Mr. B. and to the lady of tne house, and there ends, as it begins, the civility that 1 get from the letter of tutroduction, I have been four months in London, 1 brought, as, I told you, a score or so of letters of introduction, gome of them to the very first people in the land, and [ have been to some twenty very formal din- ners, to half a dozen formal concerts, to two or three lawn parties and to some eight or nine balls or eveu- ing parties, or “at homes,’? ISOLATED. Such was your countryman’s experience of an American coming to London, armed win good intro- auctions, and I only fear that what he said is but too true, English fashionable society, as at present constituted, seems to be impenetrable from without, 1t does not seem to desire for the admission benind the svenes of anyone beyond its own peculiar set. Not that 1 think our fashionable people are inhos- Ditable: but-they are really 80. occupied and have really 80 much to do in following out the pursuit of leasure that they to Do tine or thought to estow UPON ABY person or any thing out of the regular groove in which their existences funk, From the time they get out of bed, at ten A.

The fact is robberies by force are becoming daily more and more common th London, and if things progress as tuey are doing we shall all have to go apout armed at night. The “dangerous classes,” ag they are very properly cal seem to increase in numbers like rabbits and to have got quite the upper hand of the police, for the present at any rate. HEALTH OF THE QUEEN.

DOUBLE DEATH IN A TENEMENT, A Philadelphia Mystery--A Man aud His Wife Found Dead ia Their Rooms—A Joint Spree the Probable Cause. [Erom the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, July 26.) ‘Two deaths occurred early this morning under rather suspicious circumstances in a tenement house in the northern part of the city. A manand his wife were both found dead in their own room, with no apparent cause for the occurrence, they having been seen in apparently good health ou the ever previous. ‘The man’s name was John Gallagher. He was an Irishinan, and did not do anything in particular tor a living, having lost one of his hands. His wife was a hard-working Woman, and has generally borne the reputation of being temperate, She worked out by the day, did washing, cleaning and the like, and supported her husband. They lived in one small room on the back of the third floor of No. 609 Swanson street, in tl ‘hird ward. A little girl living onthe premises states that Gallagher was seen at the front door last evening in good health, but some of the other occupants of the building say that he was about the house, but was not well, being overcome with the exer- tion of moving their household effects on last Thursday, when they moved into the present quarters after being turned out of a house near Water and Dock streets. This possible sickness might show cause for the death of the man, but the fact that both the man and the woman were found dead at nearly the same time cannot so easily be accounted for. The woman was known to be in good health, strong and hearty, and with- out complaint. Officer McCullough, in whose beat the house is situated, was informed early this morning that the deaths had taken place, and visited the spot. He found the man lying deid on the bed in their third story room, and the woman dead on the floor, facing in the other direction from the man. A small tin kettle partly filled with whiskey was found on a trauk near the bed. The officer immediately mye orders that nothing was to be disturbed, and telegraphed to the Coroner to hold an inquest. i The inquest was to be held at some time during the morning; but until the result of that is made known a true statement of the facts of the case cannot be made. On visiting the spot this morning the bodies were found as described. The house is three stories in height, and in every room is one gutire family, and none_of the families are vers*small by any means. The house is in the filthy condition usual to such places, and the strong and unpleasant odors that greet the nose of the visitor are any- thing but pleasant. The various inmates of the house have different Stories of the occurrence, from which it is almost impossible to glean one which will combine the eee facts of all. The landlady of the house, iving on the first floor, says that she had no knowledge of anything connected with the affair until about half-past five o’clock this morning, when some one came down stairs and told her that Gallagher was dead, and that his wife and another woman living on the third floor had lified him from the floor, where he had been lying, to the bed. A doctor was sent for, but when ue ci Rit Mowat nae : dead also, and was lying, in her everyday clothing, on the floor. The doctor said thas rotting could be done to aid them, and directed that information should be given to the police, which was accordingly done. The officer Ben came and covered up the bodies to keep the flies off, and closed the shut- ters, but otherwise left the bodies just as they had been found, The landlady expresses her sorrow that she did not know of the occurrence sooner, or something would surely have been done to help the sufferers, No marks of bodily violence were found on either of the bodies, but some time after death had taken place the bodies turned a dark yellow color. This, taken together with the fact of the whiskey being found in the room and tha state- mont of a neighbor, leads to tho belief that the parties died from tho effects of excessive intem- perance. The neighbor's statement referred to !s that of a woman living in the third story front of the same house, who says that Gallagher and his e were cutting up high and making a great e during the night, and that this uproar only eased with the coming of morning. If this state- ment be true the two undoubtedly participated in a heavy spree in tho night, from the effects of which t af died this morning. The resuit of the inquest will be published as soon as known. THR FENN MURDER.—A young man named Bliss, a resident of Milford, was arrested on Friday on sus- picion of being the murderer of Feun. He was golng off to visit a friend, and certain circumstances ex- cited the suspicion, He was, however, release. The people of Milford are quite confident that the perpetrator of the crime was a resident of the town, and a report is now being circulated which confirms the suspicion. It 1a stated that Mrs. Fenn recalls the fact that when her husband leaped from the bed and pursued the burglar he sald something or uttered some exclamation that on the instant caused the thought to pass through her mind that she knew the man. The fright she sustained drove the recol- lection of the Incident from her mind for several days, and she ts not now able to indicate who ibe perso was,— Worcester Spy, July 21. WoMAN SUFFRAGE IN Connroticur.—Tho late Majority report submitted to the Connecticut Legts- lature in favor of woman suffrage, from the com- initcee to Whom the sudrage was referred, was writ- ten by Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, and the mi- norlty report against it was written by Mrs. Thomas Cowes, wife of the chairman of the committee on the part of the House, While Mrs, Hooker's report argued in favor of @ policy of universal suffrage, with only, perhaps, the limiiation of certain educa- onal tests, and held this principie too well seitied to be open for discussion, the gentiemen who signed the report were oaly willing to assent to an amend- ent to their constitution which should rea “Every white citizen of the United States, without distinction of sex, Who shall have attained the age of twenty-one yeara,”” &c.
