A TRAGEDY IN RIPLEY, OH1o.-Robert Peters,
a tailor, was shot and mortally wounded, at Rip
ley, Ohio, last Wednesday, by Charles Baird,
whose sister had been seduced by Peters. 1t is
said that Baird was in California when the news
of his sisters ruin reached him, that he immediate
y left his business and scarcely took rest or food
till he reached Ripley. He sought an interview
with Peters, and used every entreaty to induce
him to make the only reparation left possible.
Baird finally offered Peters three thousand dol
lars of his hard earnings If he would marry her.
When this was refused, Baird drew his pistol and
shot the seducer, with the intention, as he frank
ly AYERS, of killing him on the spot Miss Baird
is said to be partially deranged. The affair has
caused much excitement, and great sympathy is
manifested for Baird and his sister.

WILLIAM HOFFMAN.

Among the many wonderful discoveries of the
age, the Genoe correspondent of the Newark Ad-
vertser notes that complete revolution in the
means of steam navigation and locomotion, is an
ticipated from recent invention by DIR. Carosio,
of that city. He has, it is said, succeeded in con-
structing an apparatus for the decomposition OF
waterby electromagnetic, which will introduce
the gas thus generated into the engine, in way
to save all the expense of fuel! His invention
has been approved by savans and practical engi-
neers, and company has subscribed the means
of giving it fnll experiment. Means have also
been adopted to secure patents in all other coun-
tries Mr.. J. B. Musso, respectable merchant
of Genoe, has started for the United States, with
letters from our Minister at Turin, to the heads
of the Patent Office at Washington.

The following inscription is to be found upon
grave-stone at New London, Conn: ssOn the 3oth
of October, 1882, 1000 English fell upon this
town by fire and sword; 700 Americans defended
the fort for whole day, but in the evening about
4 O'Clock, the commander of the hesieged delivr'
ed up his sword to an Englshman, who immed-
ately stabbed him. ALI his comrades were put to
the sword A line of powder was then laid from
the magazine to the sea, there to be lighted and
blow the fortress into the air. William Hoffman,
who lay not far distant, with three strokes of the
bayonet in his body, said to one of his wounded
friends who was still alive-"We will endeavor
to crawl to this line and thus we will completely
wet the powder with blood, and with the life that
still remains in us the fort and magazine, and
perhaps few of our comrades who are only
wounded" He alone had strength to accom-
plish this noble design. In the a7th year he
died on the powder that he overfowed with
with his own blood. His friends and seven of his
wounded companions by that means had their lives
preserved" After this narrative are the follow
ing words;

MEMORIES.
By ROBERT GILFlLLAs.

Oh for the songs of other years,
When life and joy were young;
When naught hut gladsome tales Wero told,
Or mirthful strains were sung!
/ Or at the fcstal board high healths
Were given with cheerful brow,
/, Our cups, alas in silence pass
e We've naught but amemories'' now!
Fhe loved. the kind, the good, the true,
In many o toast were given;
Those who though knit to us on earth,
Yet raised our hopes TO heaven!
Who, when in childhood's helpless days
Around our couch did bow;
A mothers nalge no more gives fame
We've naught but 'smemories'' now!
on In the stormy sea of life,
Our bark by tempest driven,
Fun dashing ON the shoals of fate,
With cords and canvass riyen!
A mothers Words mothers love,
Like angels at the Prov
Would cheer us to the haven of health;
We've naught but s.memories'' now.
Youths days are fed, and in their stead
Come sorrow, grief, and tears;
And for the sunny morps of song
We number heavy years
Fond friends are gone, and we alone
Beneath affiction bow;
Tina was whom gave happy healths-
We've naught but ssmemories'' now!
