book spoke in general terms Of certain New

The coat seemed to fit certain people of Avon

Mrs. Hubbell, and the fact not being denied,
these very consistent, liberal minded and pious
church members succeeded in effecting the dis
missal of the offending lady's husband from
his place as pastor of the village church.
The Hartford Times publishes this para

The Killing of Major Arnold by DR.. Steiner.


The Washington Evening Star has private
letter direct from Fort Graham. Texas giving
history of this affair. The Star saws:
1t seems that Steiner and Lieut.. Bingham. from
drinking. fell 10 q,arrellng. so disturbing the
garrison as 10 compel the commander, Major Ar
mold, to 90 TO them. and order them to their re-
spective quarters. Steiner then told A. that if he
placed him under arrest. he would kill him. This
threat being taken rs mere ebullition Of passion
Arnold took no notice of it. and the qnarrellers
went to their respective quarters On the next
day, when they had time to cool their passions
Arnold sent the Adiutant of the post with an
der TO arrest both They We're found at Lieut.
Binghams quarters. apparently about to renew
the quarrel. Steiner, on reading the order for his
arrest, gave himself up and again remarked that
he would kill any who should arrest him.
and desired TO see Arnold. The Adjutant advised
him not to go over to AS quarters. lest he might
commit himself BY using violent and instlbordinate
language But he persisted in going there.
Ia few moments The Adjutant heard pistol
shots there-six-and. rushing oger found Arnold
lying welterine in his blood in the passage be-
tween his two rooms. Steiner had fred four shots,
each o. which had taken effect, and Arnold had
fired two, neither of which hit S. Arnold lived
but fifteen minutes after being shot. Steiner had
escaped when the Adiutant entered, but he rear
rested him few moments afterwards, saying that
he was about to mount his horse 10 20 and deliver
himself up to the civil authorities. He is new in
custody at the post. Mrs Arnold was in the Ma
ior's quarters and probably saw the whole aliray.
Steiner's offence is punishable with death, of
course under martial law, and we take it for
granted that he will be forthwith contaminated,
unless the civil authorities take him by writ OF
habeqs corpus out OF the hands of the military
and afterwards if the law courts fail to convict
him.
Some years since, Steiner cut Texan citizen,
with whom he quarreled in billiard room. al

the Texans wounds In that affair. ne was
thought to be justified. He is, proveIbially, one
of the most skilful surgeons in the service. and
devoted to his profession. that during the Mexican
war after he had sufficiently attended to the
wounded on the American side, he was in the
habit OF going over among the Mexicans and
dressing and operating on their wounded con
dn,ore He is a small man of remarkably polished
manners but with eye in his head which tells
of the desperation of his character when aroused

On one occasion the owner of the premises hav-

life than be guilty Of such thing" What pro-

he could not and did not ascertain The boy said
he had been interrogatea to know whether be had

He may b q liar, rascal gambler IN assassin
he may DO whatever his enemies proclaim him to be
and we are inclined to think that they are not far

rules BY means that reprehensble for ends that

Santa Anna, however it may be achieved.
Whatever may be his future--and who dare pro-
