TIE pARKmav TRAGEDY We perceive m the
newsrspers that. in the discussion OF this myster-
Gus affair. there is an opinion held by some per-
sons. that Dr. parkman has not been murdered.
It's suspected that the relatives OF the missing
man are DESTROYS 10 appropriate the great wealth
which he possessed, and are too easily satisfied
that the human fragments discovered are those OF
Dr. Parkman Another thing which has created a
great sensation, is the secret and curious invesu-
cation resolved upon by the authorities. They
made good deal of unnecessary parade before
this secrecy was adopted and We can see no good
that is TO result from IL. one way or the other.
Such secret investigation oi a monstrcus crime
involving character, and life or death, is nothing
but a return to the practice Of the dark ages, when
the public were considered nothing, and people in
authority everything. The course Of the Boston
authorities is simply inconsistent with the civili
cation Of the present age. They have no right to
impose this secret examination. The reasons
which they assign for it are futile, wlshy-washy,
and impairment TO the subject The secrecy OF the
hing can only be productive Of mischief-of pre-
iudice against the authorities, want OF confidence,
end Of suspicion from the beginning to the cad.
They are making a dark mystery Of the whole
matter, when nothing short of a full, clear investi
cation. open and accessible to the press, is de-
rnanded, and when nothing else will be satisfactory
10 the ends Of Justice.

Destruction or THE ROCHESTER CRY Mus
A short time since we had the unpleasant task Of
recording the partial destruction of the city mills
by fire. General Y S. Beach soon put them IN as
good running condition AZ ever, and up to Moa-
day night was doing an extensive and houushIng
business. At this time there were 1000 bushels
of wheat in the binns upon the upper floor. and
cargo OF 2,JO0 bushels was then partially unloaded.
a young man, named Frank Lucas, who slept in
be droom by the side Of the mill, was awakened
about one o'clock yesterday morning, by tre-
mendous crash. and without waiting TO ascertain
exactly what it was, he broke out his bedroom
window, and Jumped into the street lie then
found that the excessive weight OF the wheat had
broken down the upper floor, which, in lts fall, had
carried the others with n, and being unfortunately
directly over the race, the wheat was oil washed
away. and foated down the river. Mr.. Lucas had
a narrow escape, for had the bedroom been in any
other part Of the mill, nothing could have saved
HIM. In addition TO the loss of the wheat, the
dsmege 10 the building must amount TO SIX or
eight thousand dollars. In consequence of the
race being destroyed, all the mills and machinery
below il are compelled to stop work until the
calamity can be remedied, thus throwing a large
number Of industrious mechanics out of employ
