OiabOlical Plot

Last evening box was sent to the
Marine Hospital, corner Of Longworth
street and Western Row, and was depos.
tied IN the room OF the Steward, Mr..
J. ii. Allison: about 10 o'clock the stew
and ms wife, being alone in the room,
opened the box, when it exploded mang-
Ing the bodies of both horribly. Mrs.
Ailsun had both her arms torn off and
her skull Iracturedr Mr.. Allison is dread
July mangled---the furniture windows
and ceiling OF the room shattered to al
oms. The indications are that the box
contained a bomb shell, about 6 inches in
diameter. There is no clue as yet to the
peYetraiof- oil this heilish act suspicion
rests upon u man named Conwel fol
sending the box to allison.
LArER.--Thc AIlisons are both dead.
MIR. Allison made a statement before his
death, which, with information obtained
to-day, will nprobably lead 10 the de,cc.
ton Of the guilty party. Ii is said fell
low named Conwell committed u murde,
some time since and Allison was acquaint.
ed with the fact, and it is supposed that
Conwell desired to take the life OF Ali.

their new brick store. They have now a
splendid establishment for a western town
and indeed will compare lavorably with

Their house is large ond the room occu-

wares of almost every description. --
Their store now is one that will give cred

The above firm are about receiving
large stock of goods from Boston, for the
fall trade, which when opened Will add

Upton Incorporation.

We are now on the I'd year of our
town incorporation, and as vet, po,bpo
has been done by the Councilmen not
even as much as to organize themselves
to do business. We suffered the incum.

we changed hands on our board of town
supervisors, and hope that we have prof.
tied 10y the bargain, but as yet, we have
no assurance our present incumbents will
do any better than the old ones, as they
as yet, have not organized. Muddy and
