Ihave the greatest respect for the press, for the HERALD 11 particular. My views are those of an ola servant of the crown on his own responsibility, and entirely Without inspiration from the home government, REPORTER—So much the better. Can you tell me if there are any steps on foot looking to a contedera- tion of the British West India Islands?

PETROLPOM MA: —ANTWERP, Apri) 26,—J’etroigum, 4$7f. for One pale American, and A Man Kills His Wife and Himself. mm the San Francisco Bulletin, April 20. it became known tn the city that a had been enacted at the corner of enty-seventh the details of Some four years since, Unarles married his wife, Adelia, a young inh girl. some time they lived together in ony, but Te- cently a change came over the nature of thetr dr mesic relations, which ended in a euit for divorce institutea by the wife, which has been pendiag in one of the District Courts, Yesterday aiternoon they had arranged te meet the office of a lawyer in town and some atfairs. At the appointed hour Peterson was on hand, but his wile came not, and alter wating some tume he left the office and repaired to his house on Bernal Heights, where he mtended to see his wife and find out why she had not kept her engagement. She was not.atflome and for a ume he remained in the vicinity. In the meantime, Mrs. Peterson had been to the lawyer's ofice and at six o'clock returned home. As she was Sing on the cars at the corner of How- ard and Twenty-nfth streets she was met vy her hus- band and together they walked towards what was once their home, Alter this nothing turther was seen of them until they reached a ravine at the foot-hilla, While they were ening near a bridge that crossed the ravine @ man named Schultz passed within a hundred yards, and was startled by acry of ‘Mur der! murder!” from @ female, He turned to the spot from whence the sound came and saw Peter- son clutch his wife’s arm and raise what appeared to bea knife. For some reason best known to him- self Schuitz, instead of going to the woman’s assist- ance, ran away, and did not appear for some ume afterwards. ‘Tne next scene in this most horrible tragedy was the appearance of Michael Skelly, a geatieian'con- nected with railroad matiers. Mr. Skelly was ariving past the locality meutioned when he observed what appeared to be a Wo- man) lying by the road side. He alighted from hjs carriage, and was horrified when he saw that the woman’s Clothing was covered’ with blood, and that her face was cut almost beyond re- cognition. He soon alter noticed tie body of a man about a hundred yaras away, which was that of Pe- terson. In the right hand of Peterson was clenched a bloody dagger, and his clothing, saturated with blood, told plainly that three stabs in the leit breast had caused his death, either one of which would have been fatal, all having passed through the heart, Mr. Skelly aroused the citizens in the vicinity, who took care of the bodies, and himself reported the matter to Coroner Letterman, who took charge of the re- Mains and haa them placed in the Morgue, An ex- amination of Mrs. Peterson’s body revealed six dis- tnct wounds, one on the left cheek, which fractured the Jaw-bone, two on the left arm; and three on the yd ag the ,last mentioned being the cause of lath. When. Peterson married his wife he had asum of money which he invested in property at Bernal Heights, starting a small grocery, It is statea that soon aiter he deeded the property to his wile, They had three children, and for a time lived happily to- gether, Recently @ man, whose name for the present 1s not made public, was in the habit of visiting Mrs. Peterson frequently when her busband was away from home, and it is stated that the hus- band had occular proof of her unfaitnfuiness, From that time forth a coldness sprang up between thew, and the result 1s as elsewhere stated. Yesterday morning Peterson went to a friend of his and asked what was best to be done. This party said that Wf Peterson thought bis wife fulse 4 should kill her, Petersoa replied that he would be hung, and then saying he would consider the mat- ter left, and was not again seen until dead. The dead parents leave three cniidren to fight through life aione, and the wife leaves an aged mother, Charles Peterson came here as @ sailor on board a merchant vessel in the year 1859, He was a Swede, and, like most of his countrymen, was industrious, He had left @ wile 1n one of the Eastern cities—Bos- ton or Lowell—and immediately upon his arrival here set to work to accumulate sufficient money to pay her passage to California. He succeeded in his efforts, sent for his wife, and shecame. Hecon- unued to work hard, treated her well and supported her in comfort, But the seducer came into the orbit of Peterson's married life, and ere long es! ed the heart of his wife, so that she left her husband's home, and, not content with taking away all that properly belonged to her, carried off even the joint household furniture. He cared no longer to remain steadily at work, and soon afterward joined T. J. L. Smiley in his expedition to recover the treasure from the wreck of the Golden Gate. He returned to this city ‘With a little money, and, baving ascertained beyond a doubt that his wife had been unfaithful to him, h obtained a divorce from her, To illustrate the cha- racter of the man. however, we may mention that, even after her conduct toward nim, meeting her on the street almost in rags, he spent two or three hun- dred dollars in providing her with decent clothing and other necessaries and comforts. With the re- mainder of his money he went into the express business, doing the carrying for the Sailors’ Home, on Bactery street, and invested in some lous of land in the neighborhood of Twenty-seventh street. Supsequently he leit the service of the Sailors’ Home and took his stand, with his wagon, opposite the Alameda ferry, on Davis street. He left that and went into the grocery business, having im the meantime married another wife. A friend of his doing business im this city says that he often warned Peterson aguinst giving credit, but finally one day Peterson came w him and said that he had been obliged to give up the business; that his wife would give credit, and that she had ruined him. He Went to Virginia Oity to get work, but failed to get it. His wife, of whom he had already had his sus- piciens as to her fidelity, commenced an action for divorce against him on the ground of ‘‘crueity,” and at last, goaded by despair, he ended her life and his in & fit of frenzy, as unexpected to his friends as it was Inconsistent with his former conduct and course of life. In some points the case so resembles that which 1s now on trial before Judge Dwinelle as to challenge attention. A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE IN LAKE ONTARIO. Government Survey Boat Upsct—One Life Lost. (From the Oswego (N. Y.) Advertiser, April 26.] ‘nis morning Mr. Fred Tarril and William P. Jud- son, of this city, accompanied by two oarsmen, Started out on business connected with the govern- ment survey for the new west pier in a boat far- nished them by the government for that purpose- Proceeding west of the city, near Sheldon’s Point 1t became necessary to raise ‘a buoy anchored about one-fourth of @ mile from shore, in doing which the buoy stick broke, causing the boat to careen and upset. The four were immediately precipitated into the coid water of the lake, while the boat was turned bottom upward. The whole party succeeded in clinging to the boat, although with some dim- culty, and commenced slowly drifting to shore, en- deavoring in the Meantime to signal those on shore to come to their assistance, Failing to attract attention there was little left to ‘be done but to await the natural course of the boat, as slowly she drifted on. Very soon the limbs be- gan to be chilled, the breath iabored the nead La ‘he tug Melvin came steaming past with a vessel ‘er. but a short distance off, and although every fort,was made to attract the attention of her crew, itseems that they either did not see the exhausted menor misunderstood the signals. At all events she rendered them no assistance whatever, but Steamed past and into the harbor. The action on the part of the captain of the tug can probably be satisfactory explained by that person, as it 1s clearly Unjust to accuse him of intentionaiy leaving four men to struggie with death im the coid waters of the lake without offering to assist the: Wher in tue water about an hour and half the boat had drifted so near to tne shore that Mr. J. F. Sugrue, of Rochester, swam with a line to their assistance. This line Mr. Wright heid, while per- sons on the shore pulled the boat in. It seems that an elderly man, one of the oarsmen, was so far gone that It Was only with @ desperate effort that Mr. Sngrue succeeded in getting bim ashore. The whole party were conveyed to a neighboring house, where every effort was made for their comfort, but in spite of all, the older man, Thomas Brosnahan by name, s00n expired, The other members of the party, although terribly chilled, soon recovered suffictently to be brought to the city. All aMrm that had not ald been afforded just as 1t was others must also have died of exhanstion. The city was soon filled With rumors that the entire boat load was drowned, but the appearance of the would-be victims on the street this afternoon put an end to such sad reports. Under the circumstaaces it is a marvel that no more lives were lost, A TRANSIENT FOAGER. George F.

Almost every battalion las lost one or two vivandiéres in the combat. ‘The following rejoinder 1s given by the Augsburg Aligemetne Zeitung to the Archbishop of Munich on the Dollinger question:—“It appears that among other agreeable messages sent to Dr. Dollinger by archiepiscopal authority there was also this: ‘Whether he did not think himself that his notorious declaration against Papal infaltibility had, ipso facto, carried excommunication with it?’ The Ailgemetne Zietung thereupon takes the liberty of asking the Archbishop “Whether he did not think that he, in his own person, had for some time past lain, «so facto, under the ban of excommunication himself?” He had, at the end of last year, youed in the First Chamber with the ma- jority for the treaties with the North German Con- federation. By those treaties a Protestant prince is placed at the head of Germany and endowed with the most extensive powers. This, however, in- volves, according to Papal law, the crime of ‘‘Iavor- ing heretics,” in punishment of which the bull “Cum Ex-apostolatus Officio” decrees ‘for all times"? the excommunication tpso facto. But this 1s not all.

Reception of Two Young Ladies into the Or- der of the Sisters of Mercy. [From the Louisville Ledger, April 26.) Yesterday afternoon one of the most solemn and impressive ceremonies of the Roman Catholic rell- gion was enacted in the beautitul little chapel at- tached to the United States Marine Hospital. Tne ceremony was the reception of two young ladies, Miss Mary Esther Melion, of New York, and Miss Josephine Dilloa, of Alton, Ill., into the Order of Sisters of Mercy. ‘This order is comparatively a new one. Its doc- trines are celibacy, the care of the sick, poor and suffering. of whatever age, race or condition. The order has been very attentive to the inmates of the United States Marine Hospital and has accomplished @ vast amount of good, The ceremony 01 reception was witnessed yester- day by a large number of ladies and gentiemen of this city, who were present by special invitation. The services were solemnly impressive, and were attended with all the pomp and state of the Catho- lic Church, The priests in their gorgeous vestments, the sisters in their sable habiliments, the resplen- dent crucifixes, the lighted candies, swinging cen- sere, and the overpowering perfumes of the burning incense, and, above all, the glorious, thrilling music of the grand old service of the Roman Church, deeply impressed even the most indifferent of the spectators. Bishop McCloskey presided, assisted by Fathers MeNicholas and Montariol. At four o'clock the novices, cross bearers, bishop, priests, bearing can- dies, entered the chapel, the choir singing the hymn “QO Gloriosa.’’ Alter appropriate ceremoni the novices were presented with the holy candles and re- ured to put off their secular dress, and in a short lume reappeared, habited in the garb of Sisters of Mercy. Kneeling before the Bishop, the cincture Was placed about the waists of the novices, and they received the blessing of the Bishop. | The church cloak, of white material, was placed upon the novices, and they prostrated themselves before the Bishop and were sprinkled with holy water. After prayer the novices arose and kissed each of the sisters upon both cheeks, The benediction was then pronounced and the solemn ceremony was ended, The novices, in leaving the world, leave behind even their names, and are Known ever alter only by their religious names, That of Miss Mellon 1s Sister Mary Evangelist, and that of Miss Dulon Sister Mary Xavier Alter taking the white veli the novitiates, after a probation of two years, i they 80 desire, take the Diack veil, This is termed the ceremony of profes- sion, and the vows are for life.
