Deep sympathy, how- ever, is universally expressed for the victim, his wife, who was highly esteemed. An inquest was held on the body of the murdered woman Mary Isabella Tingley, before Judge Reod, at East Attleboro, to-day. The room was packed and the excitement among the townspeople ran high. Charles H. Pond was the first witness. He testified to entering the room with the mother of ‘Tingley, and told the story given to the Henan correspondent on the day of the tragedy and published in these despatches, ‘Thomas Clemens testitied that Tingley called at his house with his six-year-old dauuhter the night before the mur- der and spent a few hours; Gardner seemed very much depressed, and said he thought he was becom- ing insane, as his head sched; be could remember only for a Lrief time, but said be thought he would not be so violent in bis dixposition as his twin brother, now im the Taunton Insane Asylum; advised bim to take amore cheerful view of matters; he said his wages had been troxtecd and he seemed to fret about his children; he did not appear to be insane, but, on the contrary, perfectly rational; he sang, played the organ and chatted Lope alate hour; have known him for some years; he was of @ morose dis- ition.

To rue Epiron ov THE HERALD:— The Now York Fishery Commissioners report that their operations with speckled trout, lake trout and California trout promise well this season. The trout of Caledonia brook were two weeks later than usual in commencing to spawn, and the salmon trout im the lakes were ten days later than their ordinary time. This must hawe been due to the weather and the temperature of the water. They think very highly of the California trout in every respect ag regards its natural vigor, its game and table quali« ties, its rapidity of growth, its ruggedness of na- ture and the fecundity of ova. One year ago there were only 300 mature California brook trout at the State hatchery. From these 200 were obtained 60,000 eggs, in good condition. The eggs hatched well and the young grew rapidly, and appearances aro that the yield this year will be some- tl! astonishing. ‘These trout spawn several months later than the brook trout of Eastern waters. In one respoct are the California trout inferior; and that is in the matter of appearance. They are not by any means so handsome and have not the carmine specks on their sides which are the peculiar charac- teristic and ornament of the true salmo fontinalis. The Commissioners accepted a consignment of Cali- fornia salmon from the United States Comunission, but have no call for them, and desire to give notica to ull persons interested that if these salmon which are now hatched are not ,taken off their hands they shall receive no more. In New York there never been much demand for the of salmon, and so far as that State is concerned the importation might as well be stopped. California, salmon will do to stock preserved waters, as they will! attain s good size when restricted from ‘Visiting the. sea, and they might be used for that purpose in ponds, that have spring water or which were once inhabited by trout. ‘Vhey will live with trout and under the same conditions and will grow much more rapidly, but they must not be allowed to escape down stream, for go they will it they can toward sea, as thou~ sands have already gone over the Genesce Fails with that object. These last certainly will never coi back. If any one wante California walzhon he only to send word to ‘to Mr. Seth Green, State Superintendent, to be accommodated. ROBERT B. ROOSEVELT, HOTEL .
