THE MURDER AT MACON, GEoRGn.-The
Macon, Georgia, Citizen, of the 9Th inst, says;
"Wm. Connolly, who brutally murdered his
young wife on Saturday morning last, was
arrested on Sunday morning and committed
to Jail. On Monday an examination of the
case took place before the magistrates, which
resulted in his being remanded to prison to
await n trial before the Superior Court of this
county. The evidence is altogether circum-
stantial, but too clear to admit of II doubt us
to the guilt of the prisoner. His victims
neck was broken, her skull fractured, and her
face bruised and cut. Connolly had been in
the habit of beating his wife, and it is said
that the occasion of the last outrage was her
breaking his liquor bottle and upbraiding him
for not bringing meat into the house instead
of whskey! Rum was, therefore, the demon
that did the work of death"

How TO GET THE REAL FLAVOR OF COFFEE.
In Knghton's "Forest life in Ceylon," are
the following hints on the preparation of cof.
fee, derived from long experience: The subtle
aroma which resides in the essential oil of the
coffee-berry,is is gradually disspated after roast
ing, and of course still more after being
ground. In order to enjoy the full flavor in
perfection, the berry should pass at once from
the roasting pan to the mill, and thence to
the coffee pot; and again, after having been
made, should be mixed when almost at boil
ing heat, with the hot milk. 1t must be very
bad coffee indeed, which, if these precautions
be taken, will not afford an agreeable and
exhilarating drink. Two great evils are con-
stantly perpetrated in England in its prepara-
tion, which are more guarded against in al
most all other countries, and which materially
impair its flavor and strengt ngth-keeping the
coffee considerable time roasting or grind.
ing, by which its strength is diminished, and
its delicate and volatile aroma lost, and mix
ing the milk with it after it has been allowed
partially to cool.

Grasshoppers are very thick, and are proving
exceedingly destructive in Chantauqe-at

story told us by a farmer of that country,
whom we saw a few days since at Dunkirk.
Said he, "This spring as an experiment de-
voted about an acre of land to the growth of
tobacco. The crop did finely, and in a short
space Of time the plants had attained to the
height of nearly five inches. Business called
me to Buffalo. was gone just two days;
but in that brief period every vestige of my
tobacco had been destroyed by the grasshop-
pers; and, sir, incredulous as it may seem,

marauders, which / saw sitting upon stump
as entered the field, actually had the audaci.
ty to ask me for the chew Ihad in my mouth"

QUEER MIsTAKE.-A Desperate. FigM.-
A curious game of cross purposes was played
of in Cincnnati, few nights since. Two
vigilant police officers, who were in search Of
rogue, came across Mr.. John Cnssady, pro-
prietor of the Queen City Race Course, whom
they attempted to arrest. Mr.. C. had with
him large amount Of money, and suspocting
the officers We're rogues who wished to rob
him, he tried to get away, and on their ap-
proaching too near, fired a revolver at ITEM.
After his shooting at the officers several times,
but without effect, they finally secured lin;
not, however, until they had beaten him se-
verely with their maces. Upon an examina-
ton before the police judge, it was clearly
proven to be mistake all around, and the
case was consequently dismissed

quantity Of blood was taken from him, after
which opiates were administered, and he slept

called for water, of which he drank proiusely,
