THE MYSTERIOUS Boar AFFAIR-SurposE1
MURDER.-It will be recolected that, on the
morning of the Goth instant, boat was found
adrift at the foot of Eghtieth street, containing
an umbrella, parasol, and loaded pistol. There
also in the boat considerable quantity O
blood, and the marks of bloody fingers, as if cling
ing to the side of the boat until driven away, pos
sibly by the blows of the assassin
The boat has since been claimed by person
who says it was stolen from him on the night in
question.
About 10 o'clock the same day man found on
the banks of the river Panama hat, in which was
the following note:
'Mr. CHAMBERs-Dear Sir: The train will
start at six and half p. m. Willyou meet me
at Goodnough's eating cellar, No. 179 Broadway,
where am about to take some refreshment, and
we will be off to the immigrant s refuge
ssYours, A. W."
AS it is known that two of the parties who stole
the boat were dock thieves, it is supposed that
some captain of vessel may have fired upon the
parties, on that night no less than two captains
of vessels discharged firearms at dock thieves as
they rowed from their vessels, after having been
on board searching for plumber.

CULTIVATION OF THE RosE.-The following
communication is clipped from the Boston Jour
nal of the Goth instant. 1t is as applicable here
as in Boston:
s'The rose, for its beauty, has ever been an OBJ
ect of interest to all in whose bosom love of the
beautiful had existence, while it's fragrance, en-.
during even when faded, has become an emblen
of those whose deeds and virtues
Like the rose when withcred, shed
balmy fragrance from their tomb
''The recent introduction of many beautiful
varieties has rendered the possession of selection
at least desirable, but the expense attendant on
the purchase of the best varieties has prevented
many from obtaining them To such we would
say, enter upon its cultivation for yourselves
Procure, during the next three four weeks
slips from any variety you may wish, and bu6
them upon stocks of the cinnamon, blush, or any
common variety you may have about your pre-
misses, in the same manner you would the ap
pie or any other tree. The buds grow in yer,
readily, often pushing the same season, when Sc
early. We have now growing in our yard ant
garden stocks which we budded about the Goth O
July, the last year, with the climbing variety, thu
queen of the Prairies, some of which the pre-
sent season produced twenty or thirty blossoms
and well repaid our labor by their first crop
You may thus select the finest varieties, even
''sThe rose which all are praising,'
and make it yours, to bud and blossom, as an or
namont to your svine-clad COTTAGE; to YOU
home, of all the pleasant places of earth to yo,
the spot most dear Says writer, 'the country
house that has it's shade-trees, its shrubbery ant
flowers, has hallowed memories to win back tn,
hearts ofits wanderers, and brighten their gloom
lest hours To all, then, to young ladies il
particular, would say, cultivate the time
endeared rose, and the bright blooming flowers
which render home dear while it is yours, anc
possess so many attractions to draw you bacl
when absent y
