MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF FEMALE IN New
York. We learn from the Sunday World
thai the Coroner of New York has been ell
gagged in the investigation Of a case of consid-
cradle interest, inasmuch as strong suspicious
existed that foul play had been resoltcd to in
producing the death of young female named
Sophia Smith, a native Of Ulster county, N.
Y, aged % years, whom it was alleged had
been found dead in her room with eight pune
lures in her abdomen, bandage tied num-
Der of times very tight round her neck anoth-
or round her head; also piece of muslin about
two yards long and several inches wide in her
mouth.
From the evidence, it appeared that the de-
ceased had been attending in thread, needle
and trimming store, 1911 Greenwich street, for
Madam Hazard, of so Chamber street, at whose
house this unfortunate occurrence took place
On Saturday last, she complained of being
much indisposed. o. Monday morning, she
stated that she felt better and went to the store,
but returned in the evening more unwell. No
thing further that is worthy of note TRANSFERRED,
until evening, when about O'Clock young
female who resides III the house was in CONVEX
satlon with her in her room in the course of
the remarks which passsd the deceased observ-
ed that she intended to ask Madame Hazard,
in case OF death, whether she, Madame Haz-
ard, would see her decently buried From
little after O'Clock Friday night nothing was
heard or seen OF the deceased until about o.
clock next morning, when Madame Hazard en-
tered her room and discovered her lying on the
floor as before stated. A small penknite, with
the blade open, was then firmly grasped in her
right hand, the left hand lying on the abdomen
in the vicinity of the wounds inflicted with the
knife; pair OF scissors also was found near her
right side. She was quite naked; some few
articles OF underclothlng were under the body.
A post norton examination was made by DR..
Israel Aloores, who stated that the puncturcs
dld not penetrate the cavity of the abdomen,
and were not OF character likely to prodaco
death, and gave it as his opiuon, that the
death had been caused by strangulalon
Mr.. McLANE's Mission. Mr. McLane's
Mission to England is said TO be coucatory
The London Economist says its object is to
submit "a particular propositions" and the
Mercury of the 9Th says
"Mr. Mel. entertains confident hope of
bringing all the questions at issue between
Great Britain and America to an amicable and
satisfactory termination. He spoke very cheer
fully on the subject to one Of our fist mcr-
chants, shortly after his arrival. For the sake
of humanity, and for the best interests of two
countries united by so many ties Of blood IAN
guage, religion, and institutions, we hope tina,
Mr. McLane may be right bat we have our
! fears"

SAM Sticks IDEA OF Coon WIFE. She
hadn't no ear for music, SAM but she had
capital eye for dirt, and for poor folks that's
much better. No one never seen as much dirt
in my house as fly couldn't brush off with
his wings. Boston gals may boast of their
spinnets and their gytars, and their eyeialian
airs and their ear for music-but give me that
gal, say, that has an cue for dirt, for she's the
gal for my money.
