The Gold Mines of Nicaragua.-We have
received some interesting information from Mr..

lative TO the extensive gold discoveries in the dis
trct Of Chontales, the east shore Of Lake Mica

square miles, said 10 be uniformly rich. The
quartz in which the vein is found is rotten, and
can easily be crushed by hand. Some of the
specimens sent to the United States and England
for assay resulted very iavoraby, yielding in
cases as high as 81 so TO the pound The rivers
had been too high until recently 10 allow the mines
10 be conveniently worked, but it is confidently
expected miners will be handsomely remuneraied
during the present dry season The district of
Chontales is now occupied principally by Ameri-
cans. Mr.. Borland, United States minister TO
Nicaragua, was on tour of inspection in the min.
ing district, and his report upon the subject will
be looked for with much interest.

in this life, no wearied and troubled souls, and all
were as gay and happy as themselves When
one feels mischievous, he perches himself on the

one bright, rogush eye, and then with the other,
as much as to say.--'come, old fellow, get up and

tracing attention, the canaries tip over a wafer
box, or rattle the steel pens. They have never
attempted composition yet, although on one oc-
casion page of the editors manuscript was mis-
taken for the tracks Of their inky feet.

A Woman Murdered by her Husband in

Woman Murdered by her Husband In
West Trov.-A bloody deed was committed in
West Troy last night which, from what we have
been able TO gather, appears 10 have been pre-
mednated. The perpetrator OF the deed Is John
IL. Phelps, and the victim his wife. II appears
that the parties resided in the I'd ward, near the
Methodist church; that about two O'Clock this
morning he came home under the influence OF
liquor, when he retired 10 his room. Soon alter,
the shrieks of his wife were heard by the inmates
of the building, all Of whom were females. They
Immediately left the room 10 ascertain the cause
of the outcry; and on approaching the door: found
that it was barred or bolted. Finding that they
could not gain access, they obtained assistance IN
the neighborhood and on breaking open the door,
a horrid spectacle was exhibited TO the view. A
female murdered in cold blood by the hands of
him who had sworn 10 love, honor, and protect"
lay upon the floor, and he. the monster in the
. room, with the bloody weapon in his grasp.
The weapon used was butchers knife, with
which the murderer inflicted two wounds upon
his wife, and which caused almost instant death
Ii does not appear that he attempted 10 make his
escape after committing the dead nor have we
been able 10 learn that there had been any illfee
ing between them. He was arrested, and, after
an examination before the justice at West Troy,
was brought TO this city and committed TO Jail for
murder.
The deceased is represented, by resident of
that place, who knew her before she was married.
to have been amiable woman and faithful
wife, about 35 years OF age. He is about 40 years
of age, machnst by trade, and formerly in the
employ Of Messrs. Corius Sage IL Durham.
While in Jail this morning, saw the prisoner.
He is about five feet six inches in height, thick
set, and dark compexion. He appeared reluctant
to enter into conversation, and like one who was
just getting over drunken frolic But he knew
what he had been doing, for when he was told
that he had got his neck into the halter, he drop
ped his head and remained looking at the floor for
some tlme.-ABany (M ~ Journal, April II,
