Love, Murder, ana Suicide.

1t was stated by telegraph few days
ago, that a young man named Henry n.
Sargent. deliberately killed a young lady,
Miss Servlla Jones, aged II years, and
then shot himself, on the 18th inst at New
Boston, n. II. The Manchester Mir
ror. which has long account oil the ira.
gedy, says
about year ago lie became enamored
with Servilla, and, as neishbcrs say, for a
while she was pleased with his attentions,
but through outward influences was induc-
ed to treat him coldly. Upon this sub
jeet, that OF marrying her, from that mo-
ment he has been insane: it has been his
only, great engrossing idea. He said last
summer, that if she did not marry Him he
would murder her. Last week he ask ed
the sexton of the town if he could dig a
grave for him this week. The day be-
fore this sad event he told one of his
friends that he wanted to have him at
tend his funeral on the next Sabbath
1t seems that he had calculated this DELHI
erately.
On the morning oil the 18th inst, he
ate a hearty breakfast at a neighbors
of his mother, % miles distant. He took
the road on which he knew Servilla trav-
elled in going to schools and he calculated
to meet her. The 81 hool-house is part
way down long and steep hill. Some
hundred rods beyond it he met her, and
she said Good morning, Henry he made
no remark, but took hold Of her right arm
with his left hand, and with his right in
stanty drew a self-coeking six-barreled
Aliens revolver and discharged it several
times into the side of her head, and she
fell lileless. Instantly lie put one oil AL
lens one-barrel rifle pistols perpendicular
" to the side of his head, a little above
the ear, and discharged it, and the ball
passed through his head aud he fell by her
side senseless. Her brother, is years old,
was near by, also some smaller children :;
and they were terribly frightened, SO that
before they had got the news to the near
est house. two men came along and found
them as above described He could but
Just breathe; it was not supposed that he
would survive many minutes, but he con-
tlnued alive about six hours longer.
The blood of each one made deep
loiC III tuC SHON, ooiliC OLA IuCutS III uidill-
eter, and four feet from each other. The
mother of Henry heard the repor, of the
pistol, five in number, as she SAYS, and it
instantly flashed upon her mind "Henry
had killed himself" Two OF the barrels
of the pistol with which he shot her were
loaded when found, and it is supposed
that he fired at her four times. and reserv-
ed the rifle pistol for his own destruction.
A razor was found in his pocket He
had determined to make death sure. doubt
less. and IN case of failure he would cut
his own throat. Several letters were found
on his person, giving directions to his mo-
ther, sisters and brothers, aud disposing of
his property. In one of the letters he re-
quested that if he succeeded in killing
servilla that her remains might be buried
by the side of his own.

The M exican Treaty.

The Richmond Enquirer has the fol-
lowing concerning the Mexican Treaty:
A correspondent in Washington has
sent rs synopsis of an important treaty,
which, it is said, Mr.. Gadsden has Just
concluded with the government of Next
co. IF the information furnished by our
no reasonsto distrust it, Mr.. Gadsden has
unquestionably accomplished signal d.
plomatc achievement. When we consid,
er the unfriendly feeling Of the Mexican
people and government towards the United
States, and the various delicate and difficult
issues between the two countries, we NAV
well wonder that any treaty has been me-
gotiated; and when we come to examine
the stipulations and conditions Of the com.
pact, our surprise will be increased. IL
the first place, the dispute respecting the
right of way across the Isthmus oil Te-
hanntepec has been. adjusted, and provi-
sion made for indemnity to those who have
suffered loss in consequence of the bad
faith of the Mexican Government. As
this difficulty more than any other, threat
eaed TO rupture the amicabie relations of
Mexico and the United States, we NAV
express sincere satisfaction at this settle
ment OF still greater advantage to this
country is the stipulation for the repeal of
the eleventh article of the treaty Of Gauda.
lupe Hidalgo, which imposed an obliga-
ton on the United States to indemnify
Mexico for the dcpredations of the Indians
OH cur frontier. 1t is understood that an
immense amount of claims against the
United States has already accumulated un-
der this clause. But, apart from the pc
cuhiary obligation, this stipulation would
have been constant source of irritation
and dissension between the two govern
ments, and, for the sake Of peace, as well
as economy. we rejoice at its repeal,
Important as are these stipulations, they.
are OF Infinite less consequence than the
engagement for the cession Of territory In.
the Mesilla Valley. Under this article
the United States acquire rsil-way route
South of the Gila, and portion OF the
valuable pro, ince of Sonora, embracing
territory sufficient fo- two or three States.
In return for these important conces.
sions, the United States agree to nav
s20, 000, 000-S5, O00 900, of which are.
to be retained to compensate the claimants
to the Tehuantepec route. We did not.
anticipate so judicious disposition Of the
surplus in the Treasury.
The distinguishing merits of this treaty
are, first, that 1t adjusts all the disputes
between the United States and Mexico.
and thus cements the amicable relations of
the two governments secondly, that it
removes every inducement to fillibuster
invasions Of Mexican soil thirdly, that il
secures the only safe and practical route
for railway to the Pacific; and lastly.
and chiefly. it gives the South chance
Tor two or three more slave States.

Wm. Walker.

This gentleman, whose name has fgur-
ed largely in the papers for the last few
days, as Col, and President of Lower CAL
ifornia, is about thirty or thirty-two years
of age-irm, solid and sensible.
He is native of New York, a shrewd
debater, pleasing speaker, and an able law
yer. He was one ofihe editors ofthe San
Francisco Herald in 1850. and was impris-.
oned by Mr.. Parsons, Judge Of the 4th Ju-
dicial district, for contempt of court com.
mtted by publishing some evidence which
the court had forbidden and for structures
on the conduct of the Judge. He had the
Judge impeaehed before the next Legisla-
ture, bat failed to prove sufficient to cause
his removal. Shortly after he established
himself in Marysville. to practice his pro-
fession. Mr.. Walker has been a member
of several Democratic State Conventions
and was President pro TEN Of the State
convention, for choosing Presidential cleo
tors. He is mild and unobsrusive in his
manner, but decided in his opinions and
acts. He may be considered fair sample

Napier and the Indian 5wordsnan.

We give an aneedote illustrative OF the
unparalleled dexterity OF the Indians with
the sword as wei! as of Napiers simplicity
of character. After the Indian battles, on
one occasion famous juggler visited .he
camp and performed his feats before the
General, his family, and staff. Among other
performances, this man cut in two, with a
stroke of his sword, lime or lemon,
placed in the hand OF his assistant. Ma
pier thought there was some collision be-
tween the juggler and his retainer To
divide BY sweep of the sword on mans
hand so small an object without touching
the flesh, he believed to be impossible,
though a similar incident is related by
Scott in his romance of the Craftsman. =
TO determine the point. the general Offer
ed his own hand for the experiment, and
he stretched out his right arm. The Jug
gler looked very attentively at the hand,
and said that he would not make the ex-
pertinent. II thought | would find you
out !" exclaimed Napier. sl3ut stop -
added the other, 'let me see you left
hand" The left was submitted, and the
man then said firmly-'.if you will hold
your arm steady | will perform the feat. y
"But why the left hand and net the right
because the right hand is hollow in the
centre, and there is risk of cutting of
the thumb; the left is high, and the dan.
ger will be less" Napier was startled
/ got frightened, he said. 81 saw it was
an actual feat of delicate workmanship
and if | had not abused the man as did
before my staff, and challenged him to the
trial, l honestly acknowledge | would
have retired from the encounter. How.
ever, put the lime on my hand, and
held out my arm steadily. The juggle1
balanced himself, and with swift stroke
cut tile lime in two pieces. | felt tn,
edge of the sword on my hand as if a coli
thread had been drawn across it; "and s.
much he added, "ior the swoIdsmen O
India, whom our fine fellows defeated a
Meance." This aneedote is certainly
proof of the sincerity Of an honest mind
ready to acknowledge error, and Of brave
] ry and calmuess in expiating that error.
