SAVAGE DEED.

On Sunday morning last, Mrs. Margaret
Smoot, wife Of MIR. Isaac Smoot, of this village,
was shot in her own dwelling, about O'Clock,
by fiend in human shape,-an lndiViduai
named Robert Hoy,--and so badly wounoea-
1.-TWO large sized balls entering the lelt shouioer,
and passing from thence into the oody whence
,hev cannot be extracted, THAT no hopes are
entertained of her recovery. She is still living,
however, at the time of putting our paper 10
press.
1t seems that Hoy had contracted dislike to
three individuals, Zone of whom was the victim
whose name we have given above, the otner Two
his own wife's relatives) and was determined 10
destroy them. Accordingly, on the morning De-
fore alluded to, having armed himself with dou-
bic barrelled shotgun (both barrels OF winch
were heavily charged one with balls and the
other with shot) and a knife, he proceeded TO
the residence of the victim of his revenge, who,
surrounded by her husband and other members
of the family. was preparing for breakfast. Pas
sing through two rooms, he gained the apartment
at that time occupied by Mrs. s., and Wlthout
any previous warning, other than the eXclama,
ton, Mrs Smoot, you must die" discharged
the barrel containing the balls, producing the
effect before noticed.
Immediately after having discharged the one
barrel of his gun, he started out, determining to
90 in quest Of the other individuals by whom he
supposed himself to have been aggreved. lie
was caught, however, just as he stepped from
the outer door of the house in which he commit
ted this inhuman deed, by Mrs. SIS husband
who was preparing to give him the reward OF
his dongs when he was taken from his grasp
by some of our citizens, and after undergoing
an examination before a magistrate, committed
to prison, where he now awaits his trial.
Hoy is man about 80 years of age and has
a wife Ito whom he was married in this place,
about year since,) and one child living here.
1t is utterly impossible for us to give an idea
of the excitement produced in our town and
neighborhood in consequence Of this horrid af-
fair Every circumstance taken into consider
alton, we doubt whether more daring and dia-
boIical deed has ever been recorded.

NEW JERSEY.

1t is not our custom to copy anticipnted re-
suits Of any election; yet so much interest is ex-
cited by the elections, that we feel bound, at
present, to depart from our Understanding,
that too much confidence ought not to be placed
in these expected results. The New York Jour
nal of Commerce says:
We have this moment received from CORES
pondent at Newark the following cheering intel
ligence:
We hear this morning that the good cause
triumpbed nobly yesterday at the different polls
in the county. Even in the three Jackson towns
the wings went ahead beyond our most SAN
guine antcipations. In Union We had at least
two-thrds, and our friends give us hopes of
final majority; so in Clinton l3S votes were Ia.

as follows, viz:

Being not far from the whole number taken
in both days last year. The highest number
ever polled in the town We believe is 1880, tbis

son men hang their heads this morning in de.
spondency. The result will be better than our
hopes.
In Bergen township, $50 more votes were pol.
led yesterday than ever before on the first day.

Military Diciptine in RuSsia.-The Invalide
Russo give an anecdote which shows to what
extent military subordination is carried i'll Rus
sia During a violent storm which took place
on the Sd of July, the lightning struck a maya
zine connected with the laboratory of the artil-
lery, where there was large quantity OF pow
der, and great number Of Congreve rockets.
A soldier belonging to the I'd company of the
regiment of CKasseurs of Neuscholt, was sta
toned as sentinel near the magazine and when
it was in flames, some of the superior officers
who repaired to the spot, seeing the danger in
which the soldier was placed ordered him to re-
tire. - He answered, however with the most per-
feet Goodness, that his orders were not to move
more than three PAGES from the spot, and that
he should not stir until he had proper authority
do so from the officer on duty. The brave SOL
der continued at his post until he was relieved
by the guard, Notwithstanding the imminent
danger TO which he was exposed. This honor
able trait Of discipline and courage having been
to the Emperor, the brave sol
der was drafted into the Imperial Guard, and
was rewarded with sum Of 800 roubles.

hearing classes examined, worry critically, in A.
rithmetic, Mental Philosophy, History, Pressing.
Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Optics, Hydros,at-

fciency was manifest. A class in the French
language was also examined, and there was an a.
musing colloquy, in that language, between Misses
nj. NJ. Randall, X. M. Williams, and II. N. Child.
The plan Of instruction is iuductive, hence the
reasoning powers Of the pupils are called into Wig

but their own thoughts, expressed in their own

Riot.-By the Rochester papers of
Thursday we learn that considerable cx-
element existed there in consequence Of
the arrest Of the principal negroes of the
place. 1t appears gentleman formerly
Of Palmyra, but lately from the South was
accompanied by female slave as SER
want, whom the negroes of Palmyra aid
ed by those of Rochester atteL, pied to
abduct, and for that purpose attacked the
house of Mrs. Williams, the mother Of tho
gentleman in question, IN the course Of
the night, but were unable TO enter. A
gun was fired at them, which slightly
wounded two negroes,-they returned the
fire without ipjuring any one, and then
commenced demolishing the windows and
doors. The alarm was sounded and num-
bers repaired to the spot, when the ne
groes fed. The slave had no desire TO
leave, and positively refused when urged
by them.

TO the People of
RHODE-ISLAND.

The Convention to promote the estab-
aishment of State Constitution, at an
adjourned meeting h ED at the State
House in Providence, on the first day OF
July, 1884,. appointed Committee OF
their body to submit to the public such
articles, based upon the Resolutions OF
the Convention, as are deemed indispen-
sable to Constitution for this State. The
undersigned, in behalf Of the Committee,
ask the attention Of their fellow citizens
ITO the following statement of the views OF
the Convention on certain leading par
ticulars. There has been, it is believed,
no want of explicitness In the plan of the
Convention /; but they have been asked
for more details in some parts of it they
now comply with this demand, upon as
suranccs not to be questioned, that what
they have to offer will be examined and
decided upon with candor by portion,
and, they trust, large portion of the
freemen. The Committee believe that
the more frequently the essential changes
necessary to adapt the political institu-
.aions of this State to liberal and repub-
]ican standard are discussed, and the
moro minutely they are defined, the more
certainly will they recommend themselves
TO the practical good sense, and to the
ultimate acceptance Of the present vo-
tiers. The Committee desire at the same
time to disclaim for the Convention and
for themselves us their agents, an inten-
'sion of debating any form q ,cOrds for the
Constitution which another Convention
will soon assemble to frame Whenever
a Constitution is given to the State, to
supply the place ofthe present dccayed
charter, which shall be fair and liberal in
ats provisions, we care not in what Ian
guage il may be arranged, or from what
party it may come the friends of the
Constitutional cause stand ready to re-
ceive and welcome it, and their labors
~siIl have terminated.
Let us consider, ns briefly as the SUBJ
lect will admit, some Of the particulars
spoken of.
4. The Bill OF RIcHrs, which now
exists only as an act of the Legislature,
sogether with the acts for the mainten-
ance and security of Religious Freedom
ought 10 be established as I sIt Of th,
AHsdansntd law Of the State.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Ma. EpIroR-The time for the choice or .
Senator from this Stale has nearly arrived. and
never in the history Of this republic, did its citizens
have more important duty TO perform. At this
critical junciure, when the Constitution of our
country has been set at defiance, when executive
usurpaiion has come well nigh irampling over uIl
the checks wisely provided in this great chur-
ter of our Liberties, nothing hut the purity.
integrity and honest independence Of the Senate Of
the U. 5. has been able TO resist this usurpution
and stem this devastating torrent which WINS fast
sweeping the magnificent structure Of our repub-
lie into ruins and our proud name into Oblivion
But we have been saved from shipwreck. bv IN.
Of that salutary check which can be con.,itu-
tionally exercised upon the operations Of the ex-
ecutive, by the Senate 10 this branch of our
government all eyes are directed "a single yo,a
IN this body counts much more than we are ant to
imagine, in its influence upon the character OF our
government,-the prosperity Of its interests,--and
the perpetuily Of lis institutions. As this part Of
the Legislature seems 10 be the only means we can
use at present, to preserve our country and pro-
tecl our rights, we are bound no good citizens hon.
est men, and lovers Of our country 10 exercise our
elective franchise, in that way, which will mos,
effecually secure the preservation Of our .instit
lions, aud the prosperity Of our common country

can there be TO the elevation Of this venerable pa-
triot and eloquent statesWan to the high and re-
sponsible place ex-senator! There are MANY con-
sderations which should prompt us TO give him
our free suffrage. In the first place, he lives in
the north part ofthe State where the choice should
be made, according 10 immemorial usage "a

long time, during which period he has shown at {.
all times, thai readiness and capability of defend

him their cheering appreciation and by his elo.
quence and sarcasm, has put to silence and to

their convenience and love for sport. While by
his mastery powers of reasoning and eloqurnce,
