On the 13th of October, 1870, having re- ceived @ telegram which gave him reason to believe that Mr. Remington was an agent of the French government, he immediately gave orders that no more arms should be sold to him. He had never spoken to Mr. Remington, nor did he know until afterwards that Richardson was his agent at subse- quent sales, In reply to the question as to whether any pre- caution could have prevented the French from re- ceiving these arths he replied, “Not after they were sold.” He presumed the purchasers sold to whom they thought proper. Oficial orders, however, were given to the Ordnance Bureau not wo sell to tne agents of the French or Prussian governments, The War Department sold arms unsuitable for our service, being engaged in providing better ones, He only knew from newspapers and general rumor that arms were sent to France. Whether they had previously been purchased from tlils government or were manufactured by private firms he baa no means ef knowing, He was asked whether Baron Gerolt made com- pjaint that arms had been soid to the French goy- ernment, and to this queswon replied:—On the 15th of Uctover, 1870, Baron Gerolt calied to request that the sale of arms be postpaned till the next week, Witness informed tum that our government would sell Do arms either to the agents of the French or Bt.

Stepping up to thestand she drew from under her arm a roli ot manuscript, and commenced ner address by explaining that she was prompted to it by the errors into Wich a dear 813 ter had been drawn by aring of vile free lovers, headed by His Imperial Littleness the long-haired Messiah of the golden age. She then hurled her bolts of wrath against Theodore ‘il- ton, wnom she chafacterized ag a milk and water philosopher, who is corrupting society and who liad ruined her family, If she was | going to wrive his biography she would say, ‘Here 1s a fool” who had written Victoria’s lectures, Of Victorla she spoke in terms of sympathy, declaring that she was insane and did not believe in the dis- reputable doctrines she advocated, but merely acted as the mouthpiece of the free love scamps who throw the free love chestnuts into the fire tor poor Vic to pullout. She denounced the doctrines of tree love as @ religion that is tearing down the stronghold of marriage and womanly punty, and the men who advocate it as too dissolute to love the marriage state and too miserly to pay the price of their Ncentiousness. The lecturess brought ner aigcourse to a@ sudden termination, after speaking sixteen minutes and thirty seconds. The audience at once became demonstrative, and did not seem to think they had received fifty cents’ worth of pabulum until Ute had come out and vowed her acknowl- edgments.

A Man Suddenly Goes Mad and Attempts Murder His Mother and Two Sisters. Deadly Assault with a Shovel and a Razor—One Sister’s Throat Cut and the House Set on Fire—Torrible Struggle for Life—The Madman at Length Mastered. Newsora, March 7, 1872 At four o’clock this morning a tragedy occurred near the Hudson, seven miles north of this city, resulting in the wounding of two sisters, one of them, perhaps, fatally, by @ maniac brother. Tne wretched man, whose name 1s George William Purdy, is @ well-to-do farmer, about forty years of age, unmarried, and occupies, with his mother, an aged lady, Mra, Phebe Purdy, and sister, Miss Elza Purdy, the homestead left them by the husband and father, Mr. Isaac Purdy, who died two or three years ago. A widowed sister, Mrs, Anna Conkirng, lives in the vicinity, but has been for the past two or three days assisting her mother and sis- ter in the work of taking care of George, who has been unwell. For several years he has sut- fered from epileptic attacks and from temporary insanity, having been thrown off his mental bal- ance, it is said, by troubles which nave occastoned prolonged litigation in regard to disputed property. ‘The case has been in the courts for yeard, and on the death of his father the care of attending to the lugauon fell upon George. But until this morning ho NEVER OFFERED VIOLENCE to any one and was considered a very harmless, quiet sort of man, He had been very affectionate towards his mother and sisters, especially towards Mrs, Conkling, Last night George occupied a smal room opening into the sitting room, where the sisters haa arranged a bed for tne night upon the floor in order to be near the brother and attend to his wants. ‘The mother also sleptinthe room, At about tour o'clock this morning George entered the room occupied by the three females, and saying that the ticking of a clock there annoyed him, preventing him from sleeping, he stooped the ciock. He returned to his bedroom, but remained there only a few monuments, Opening the door again he either fell or threw himself at full length, with arms ex. tended, on the floor of the sitting room, The ladies were greatly alarmed, and, taking him from the floor, they laid him upon their bed. Ob- |. Serving no ul effects of the fall they left him ying there, Went into his room and lay down on his bed. ‘The mother remained near her son to care for his wants, In afew minutes he jumped up excitedly, seized a heavy tire shovel lying near the stove, and started for the room in which the sisters were. Opening the door, he shouted;— “(’M GOING TO KILL you ! The next place we'll meet is at the bar of Goa !"” He struck them each several blows on the head, and then, seizing each py the throat, he tried to choke them to death. Although partially stunned from the effects of the blows witn the shovel, they struggled with all thelr might, and at length released themselves from his power- ful grasp.and went into the sitting room, He fol- lowed them there, and the struggle for life was renewed, the mother now taking part, assisting with her feeble powers her daugh- ters, In the struggle the stove was over- turned and the house was seton fire. At length oe sisters again broke loose from the murderous m: man and ran towards the doors, Miss Purdy to the front door and Mrs. Conkling through the Kitchen to @ door in the rear of the house. The former made good her escape and went to alarm the neighbors; but the maniac brother, having now possessed himsell of a razor, overtook Mra, tery | as she was leaving the house and attempted to cut her throat. Here the unfortunate woman had anothers terrible struggle with the brother, and in the course of it sustained two severe cutsin the right arm, one of them just missing the main artery. He, however, overcame her and drow the razor across her throat, making g A TERRIBLE GASH, laying bare the windpipe and root of the tongue, but not cutting the arteries, By this time thé sister was returning, followed at ashort distance by one of the neighbors. The madman left Mrs. Conkling and Tanto meet Miss Purdy, seized her bythe hair of her head and threw her to the und. He would doubtless have succeeded in tak- ing her life but for the eiforts of Daniel ‘Van Ursdall, the neighbor referred to, who knocked the madman down and secured him. The flames were eXtinguished and surgical aid was rocured for the sister, who had been cut yy the razor. Althougu she has sustained terripie inj some hope 1s entertained that she will recover. Miss Purdy was badly cut and bruised about the head, nut is not seriol injured. The old lady, Mrs. Purdy, 18 sdghtly injured. In the struggle with her son she was dragged around the roont by the bair of the head, and was bruised by his falling on her, 1n the course of the morning an officer arrived irom Marlborough, a mile distant, and the son was handcuffed. He went to bed and.continued to feign sleep all the morning, refusing to reply when spoken to, From the expressions which he during the struggle it 18 supposed that he intended to kill his mother and sisters and then com- mit suicide, He will be taken to-morrow to the in- sane Hospital at Poughkeepsie. The family are all very respectably connected and in comiortable cir- cumstances, and the sad event has made a profound sensation in the vicinity. ST. MCHOLAS SOCIETY.

The followers of the good old Dutch saint, in large humbers, gathered in Delmonico’s last night w transact some routine business and to enjoy themselves over a social glass, The members were in excellent humor, and cracked jokes freely with each other, The Treasurer’s report, presented by Mr. Augdstus Schell, created considerabie laughter and merriment, Among the items of ex- penditare which the document contained was $15 for cleaning coats, $15 25 for six pairs Of stockings, and another sum for painting and re- gilding the old cock, and a lesser item for repairing the flag. Some of tne members jocularly asked for an explanation of these items, but Mr. Schell de- chned to give any. Considering that the society has over $82,000 invested in government and other securities, the maiter Was not pressed, and the re- port was accepted and ordered on file. Simce the previous meeting, in November, the Treasurer re- ceived $3,233, The disbursements during the same period amounted to $1,933, The Finance Committee and Treasurer were recommended to invest $1,500 in United States or city revenue bonds, so that the same may be transferred to the permanent tund, On motion $260 were appropriated for THE PAAS FESTIVAL, which {s to be held on Easter Monday, April 1, wnen the society will forget that 101s in its ‘thirty-seventh Year and will repeat the follies and pastimes of its youth, Since 1835, when it was organtzed, the so- clecy bas had seventeen: presidents, nine of whom have died.
