SIHoULAR TRAaKDY.-At the Insane
Hospital Of sOmerville, Mass, m aged
aud feeble woman from Vermont, Mrs
Strong, was killed BY Mrs. Jameson,
another lunaiic. on Wednesday nOon.-
The latter says she heard Mrs. Strong
ask for a light, and it then occurred 70
her that the Lord had delivered her into
her hands. whereupOn she invited her
into her room. Mrs. Jameson continues
her story thus
She came with me willingly /; she had
on two caps, / took them off and tied
them round her neck, the strings broke.
She stood still, close to me, making no
resistance, SO l knew the Lord had given
her to me. then put my hands around
her throat and choked her. then laid
her down on the floor softly, so as to
make no noise, and took off one of my
stockings, and put it around her neck,
pulling il as hard as could, but 1t was
NO usc--she was already dead. l felt
hCT pUloCS "IA AuC" I've " IIlO L was
doing this l said my prayers. and thanked
the Lord that he had permitted me thus
to glo'ify His name"
When the body of the deceased was
discovered, it was lying upon the floor.
and Mrs. Jameson was looking down
upon it from her bed, where she was
upon her knees, in the attitude Of PRAYER.
The Trustees of the Institution have
investigated the matter, and the district
attorney publishes letter, giving the
result. He says that in the absence Of
the declaration OF Mrs. Jum-sou there is
no evidence tending to show that Mrs.
Strong came to her death by violence.
His belief is, however, that she was
strangled by Mrs. J. who at the time was
utterly irresponsible by reason of insan>
ity. Legal proceedings seem unnecessary
and he finds that there was no neglect
shown on the part Of the Attendants
Both the women are respectfully cons
nected, but for some time have been
hopelessly insane.

For the Enquirer.
More Insanity.

We learn with regret that Sarah Ann.
wife OF John aud mother Of Julia Ann
Carpenter Of this town, (well known 10
the public throughout this section as
the subject Of the Seduction Case re-
Gently tried iu this County, has fallen a
victim to the deep grief and painful so>
licitude, occasioned by the misfortune Of
her daughter, and is now n,aniac.-
Preparations are being made to send her
TO the Insane Retreat at Hartford,
where il is hoped. her mind may be re-
Eeved from the thraldom Of sorrow, and
enable it to call back its absent faculties,
and again fit her for the society of her
family. We can scarcely refrain a
thong ht from the unhappy husband
His condition is surely one BY which
philanthropy cannot pass without sigh.
Time. with its healing hand was striving
to close the wounds which the ruin Of
hopeful daughter had made, when the
poignard Of woewas again nsheathed and
plunged to the hilt into his still bleeding
heart. II any are conscious Of having
done aught to occasion the distress and
sadness that now encompass this family,
We hope that enough exists TO be be-
held and felt, to arouse to compunction
and repentance; for better be the victine
than the author of such a calamity.

RAILROAD ENeINEs- -Zerah Coibnrn
makes the following extraordinary state
ment in an article in tile Railway Times !:
1.-THE average annual deterioration Of
American engines is from eight to twelve
per cent, upon their fist Cost, while FIVE
cenls per mile are required for repairs, so
that generally our engines destroy them
selves at ten dollars value per day when in
full use. This eau be easIly established by
proofs" t,
Engines cost from $500 to $5oCRe-
Taking The average cos. at $4,000. and
calculating that the engine now used 500
days in The year, the wear would amount
to $4,000 per year. The Erie Railroad
have ls7 engines, aud at this estimate their
annual cost must be $54o, 600 flowing that
they are all III use.- Boston Journal
