The QUINCY TRAGEDY.--Ihe Mystery Unrdp-
elled. The Baltimore Sun, says We have pub
lished several accounts of a mysterious tragedy,
recently enacted at Quincy, Massachusetts. IT
will be remembered that the bodies of man and
woman--the latter dressed in male clothing, and
passing by the name of George Sands, and the
former as John Green--were found last week in the
woods, near Quincy, Massachusetts,, lying side by
side, with gun shot wounds in their heads and that
the result of the coroner's inquest Was that the
man had first shot the woman, and then shot him
self.
We were yesterday called on by a gentleman,
who informed us that he fully recognizes the parties
to this mystery, as having been John Grieve and
his wife Hannah the first the son OF MIR. Peter
Grieve, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and the latter the
daughter of Mr. John Banks, of the same place.
He states that they were noted for their romantic
Freaks and that the wife has been known to ai'enr
lectures dressed in male attire, where no one bu
males were admitted, and that they made a prac
tce of going out in boat in the Muskingum river
she attired as a male, for the purpose OF fishing
sailing, bathing, etc. The following, published II

LAKE SUPERIOR MINES AND FrsuERIEs The
mines in 1910 yielded IA tons of copper. In 1850,
the yield exceeds 1000 toas and the present year it
will be GOOO tons, enough to supply the United
States. The amount of ore which had been raised
up to December, lS49, was $4,000 tons, which

Cornwall only yield eight per cent.

SUSPICIOUS Lond on paper
by the Canada, says:
"The American packet Old England, which
arrived at Havre lately from New Orleans was
Immediately placed under sequestraton, in conse-
quence of one of the passengers, person named
Hahn, having disappeared at sea, under circum-
stances which cast some suspicion on part of the
crew. On investigation, it appeared that Hahn
shortly after leaving New Orleans, acted as il his
mind was affected at times he was in a state
of great agitation, at Others he displayed a pro-
found melancholy. He had no luggage, but wore
belt containing gold and bank notes and these
after while, he confded to the care Of one Of his
fellow passengers, in the presence Of witnesses On
the 10Th when the vessel was off Barfeur, Hahn
disappeared, but it was not known at what hour.
At five o'clock in the morning, however, he took a
cup OF coffee. As there was trace of blood from
his cabin to the side Of the vessel it was at rst
assumed that he had been murdered but no proof
has been obtained of this and as no one could have
any interest for committing the crime, it is sup
posed that the man committed suicide by throwing
himself into the sea. On the suppositon of suicide
| he must have cut his throat aud then gone on
deck to leap into the water. The vessel was admit.
! ted TO free pratique, and the passengers were
allowed to disembark. Nevertheless, the judioia
authorities are proceeding with their investigation
and some gendarmes and polcemea passed the
night on board. The money which Hahn gave tc
his fellow passenger, was asceitained not TO hav,
| been touched. Three other passengers, and two o
