The LATE Mrs. MAD1soN.-The National Intelli-
gencer, announcing the death of Mrs. Madison, pays
the following tribute to her honored memory:
Beloved by all who personally knew her, and uni
versally respected, this venerable lady closed her long
and well-spent life with the calm resignation which
goodness of heart combined with piety only can i'm
part. It would seem an abuse of terms tn say that we
regret the departure of one so ripe and so fitted for a
better world. But, in the case of this excellent lady,
she continued until within n few weeks TO grace So
ciety with her presence, and lend to it those charms
with which she adorned the circles of the highest. the
wisest, and best, during the bright career Of her Illus
trious husband. Whenever she appeared, every one
became conscious of the presence of the spirit of be-
nightly and gentleness. united TO all the attributes of
feminine loneliness. For ourselves, whose privilege
it was to know and admire her through the last forty
wears of her life. it would not be easy to speak in
terms of exaggeration of the virtues and winning
manners Of this eminent lady. To attempt it would
add no brightness to her fair name, and would be little
needed to move the public sympathy. All flour own
country and thousands in other lands will need no
language of euIogy to inspire a deep and sincere re-
greet when they learn the demise of one who touched
all hearts by her goodness and won the admiration of
all by the charms of dignity and grace.

TIE MISCHIEF OF A JEsT-The Boston Herald
gives the following account of Milton w. Streeter.
now lying under the sentence of death In Massachu-
sets, for the murder OF his wife:
Streeter is a man Of low order Of intellect, and al
most entirely governed by the animal passions. He
married his wife, Elvira Haughton, after one months
courtship. and was for several months most fondly
attached to her, so much so we understand, that he
could not bear to see any one render to her The most
common attentions without exhibiting the utmost
jealousy. This train was observed by his townSmen,
and some of them made 1t a point to work upon his
suspicious nature, by seeming to be upon the most In
innate terms with his wife. We were told that a
man named Bacon, doing business on the Island of
Cuba. visited Southbridge a few months before the
commission of the murder, and either having discov-
cred or been informed of Streeter's jealous DISPOSE
ton. set himself at work 10 excite his suspicious of
The chastity of his wife to the highest degree. To
this end he took lodgings in a tavern nearly opposite
the house occupied by Streeter, and used every meth
cd in his power to insinuate that he was IN unla wtul
communication with Mrs. S. Streeter observed this,
and watched his wife and house with the utmost vig-
lance, often neglectiug his occupations for that puT-
pose but he made no discovery warrantlng a certain
belief that his wife was unfaithful to him with this
individual.
1t is said that some of his townsmen were accus-
toned from time to time TO give him a half a dollar
or so. and request him to give it to his wife, pretend
that they were indebted to her for that amount for
some work done by her for them. Such things as
these, long continued, had rendered Streeter nervous
and irritable in the extreme, and he firmly believed
that Mrs. Streeter had been guilty of ~infdelity TO his
bed; he had therefore threatened her with severe
measures. unless she satisfied him Of her innocence,
and had carried a razor to bed with him several times,
for the purpose of terrifying her into confessions; but
instead of confessing any thing. she finally complained
to a Justice of the peace that she considered her life
endangered by any further cohabitation with him, and
he was therefore put under bonds to keep the peace.
and also was ordered to separate from his wife and
leave the state.
These rude and remorseless iokers have now the
satisfaction of knowing that their fine sport has been
purchased by the death of one human being at the
hands of a murderer. and is yet to be farther paid by
the death Of another on the scaffold.
