Everett, late oil the OIato OI OuIO, Out at
the time citizen of Metropolis. He left
home in the early part Of January, and
nothing was heard Of him until few days
since when bis body was found near Freer's
house. Previous to the murder, writ had
been issued against Freer for threatening to
take Everett's life.
.Molasses.-The Cohoes Cataract says,
that tho body Of small negro child was
found in molasses hogshead in that place
a few days siuce, after the molasses was
drawn of: No marks Of violence were
found upon him. We can vouch for the
truth of this. The same phenomena have
been often exhibited in sugar hogsheads,
freshly emptied in this city-but the little
negroes were alive, kicking g.-.atbany Atlas.
.4nother .Mystery-.Murder of a Young
Grl.-Very great excitement was caused in
Methuen and Lawrence, on Sunday, by the
discovery of the murdered remains of
young woman, Hamcd Adams, sewed up IN
some old bagging. The body was found in
Methuen, on the Lowell road. about three
miles from Lawrence, and exhibited the ap.
pearance of having been dead two or three
days. The face showed severe bruises, and
the skull was fractured and crushed in
terrible manner! No marks Of violence
were found on the other parts Of the body.
1t is the prevailing opinion in Methuen, that
a horrible murder has been perpetrated,
and the community are very much excited,
as is also the feeling in Lawrence, where it
is said the unfortunate girl has been en-
ployed in the factories.
The Supposed Murder near Laurence
The Traveller understands that young man
employed in one of the mills of Lawrence
has been arrested upon suspicion of know
ing something of the matter. He formerly
paid attention to Miss Adams, but, when ar
rested, asserted that he had not seen her
since Christmas, when, as he said, she was
on her way to this city. 1t has since been
ascertained, however, that he was in her
company eight days after he said he had last
seen her.
The Sailor in TrouJle.-The boat Of a
whaler was once knocked several feet in the
air by blow from the tail of fish to which
it was fast. Upon coming down, the steers
man fell into the whales mouth, and the
teeth of the animal closed upon his leg
After being in this terrible position for some
time, he was released and picked up by an
other boat, and carried on board, where,
while preparations were making to ampu
tate the crushed limb, he was asked what he
"thought of while in the mouth of the
whale!" With the utmost simplicity he
replied:
"Why, thought she would yield about
sixty barrels!"
Faith ,cithout Works.-sMy dear child,
said plous old maid in New Hampshire to
a ragged little swaif' whom she had picked
up, and who had come to her 10 say his
catechism; 'who made the heavens?' Sod
ma'am.' sYes; and when you look up
what do you see?' The little urchin, glow.
ing with the wisdom of juvenile Bunsby,
glanced up at the dark and dingy ceiling
and replied, Il don't see nothin' but cobtce6s
ma'am" Not bad exposition of duties
sighted, as well as duty performed. The
good lady Uould not neglect the one, and
she should not neglect the other.
A Smash.-Last evening the six and 6
quarter train from this city to Lawrence
ran against the Haverhill train near the
bridge in Lawrence. The Haverhlll folks
were shifting some cars, and were on the
wrong track. The two trains which came
in collision, were going slowly, but though
they were full of passengers, no one sus'
tanned any injury except MIR. HOyt. the con
ductor on the Lawrence train, who had his
leg broken. The engines were damaged
somewhat, and also the baggage car of the
Lawrence train. 1t is very fortunate thai
the trains were just where they were, and
Of course not going at their usual speed
