ATROCiOUs MURDER IN NEW HAVEN

Discovery of the Concea'eck Body-The
New Haven Palladium has the following ac-
count of an atrocious murder in that city:
Some time in the latter part Of April last,
Mary Ann, aged u, wife Of Isaac Randolph,
(colored butcher) who occupied part of the
house with Il white man, named William Tut
tie, and his wife, was missed. Her husband,
who had frequently beaten her, was arrested
at the time but discharged for wan. of con-
victive testimony. lie is a black man, q
butcher by occupation, and'married his wife,
who was nearly white, about a year ago
On "Wednesday, the father Of Mrs r. search
ed, with Others i'll the garden, and upon dig
ging into the earth, the trunk Of woman
was found clothed in pink waist, and wrap
ped in coarse sackng. This waist was the
same which she wore the night previous to
her disappearance. Upon digging in other
places, other dsmcmbered portions of the
body were found, also wrapped in sacking -
The head was severed from the body, the
trunk disjointed at the thighs. the legs sun-
dered at The knees, and the arms served at
the shoulders and elhows-all in q remarka.
ble state of preservation, and such as could
not fail to identify the person. The features
Of the face were al most perfect.
Randolph left New Haven some weeks age
and went to Waterbury, near which place he
was arrested on Wednesday night. He was
found about midnight in q shed. and haC
with him provision bag made of sackng
precisely like that in which the dead bod,
was wrapped. This will probably prove evi
dence against him. The murder is supposed
to have been committed either from jealous,
or to obtain the sum of $500 which the muT
dered woman had in her possession.

The safe return Of DR. Kane, after so pro-
tracted an absence, is a subject OF almost
national feictaton. During the two years
which elapsed from his last letter to his or.
rival at New York, the public, through all
the weary months, shared the concern OF his
family. and sympathzed with its anxiety
And now they Join ih to welcome him home
The voyage has not been without advan-
tage TO science. 1t has added considerably
to our knowledge Of geography settled IN
the Affirmative the question as TO the exis-
tence of a Polar sea and proved that human
life can be sustained, in the Arctic regions,
az DR.. Kane always asserted, by the game
which explorers can shoot. But it has done
what is even more important than this at
least in moral view. 1t has furnished an
example of heroic courage, maintained, not
| merely for few hours, as on battle field,
but for weeks months and years; q courage
which combined active bravery with patient
| endurance. which was as sagacious as it was
| daring, and which succumbed to neither dark
| ness, nor tempest, nor SHOWS, nor glaciers,
nor the imminent peril of being left without
fuel or food. 1t is such examples that stimu-
late to great deeds. 1t is such that become
immortal.
The Arctic expeditions are now over. The
book may be considered closed, sealed up.
and laid away forever For three centuries
the idea of northwest passage has stimula.
ted a succession Of heroes to endure the ri
gors of an Arctic winter, in the hope of find
ing passage from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fc. AT last the great problem has been
solved. The successful voyage and journey
OF Com. Mcclure, terminating last year, has
proved that there is really such a connec-
ton by water. But it has also proved that
the passage can never be made available for
commerce, and that, for four years out of five
it is rendered impossible by ice. There is,
therefore, no longer any call, nay there is
no longer an excuse, for voyages Of Arctic
discovery. Hereafter such expeditions would
be totally indeiensible. Even the natural
curiosity of science eager to determine dis
puted facts, will he no justification for the
perils, exposure, and loss of life involved in
those enterprises. From this day out, there
fore, Arctic explorations may be considered
us among the things Of the past. To prose
cute them, as Franklin said, in his homely
way, would be paying too dear for the
whistle"
SO far as America has partaken in these
expeditions, she has entered upon them from
the purest and noblest motives. 1t was tc
relieve u lost voyager, and one not even o
our own nation, that both Lieut. De Haven.
expedition, and this, left our shoers. In the
annals Of nations there are no brighter deed,
to show. Such acts prove the advance o
civilization more conclusively than volumes
of dry statistics .-Ledger.

In this mammon-worshiping Age, it is rare
to find a man place his usefulness to the
public, before his interest During late
visit to the City ofSpndles,' we were pre-
sented by professional friend to the cele-
Lrated Chemist, DR.. j, G. AVER, whose name
is now perhaps, more familiar than any other,
at the bedside of sickness, IN this country.
Knowing the unprecedented popularity o;
his medicines and the immense sale of them,
we had expected TO find him millionaire,
aud rolling in wealth. But no. we found
him in his laboratory, busy with his laborers,
among his crucibes, alembics, and retorts-
giving his best personal care to the COM
pounds, on the virtues Of which, thousands
hang for health. We learned, that notwth'
standing his vast business, and its prompi
returns in cash, the Doctor is not rich. The
reason assigned is, that the material is cost
ly, and he persists in making his preparations
so expensively, that the nett profit is SMALL

THE PENNsYLvANIA COAL PLATFORM

The Philada. Bulletin some days since
contained an excellent article under the above
caption, on the importance Of the Coal and
mineral productions of Pennsylvania. The
editor Of the Bulletin, however, in referring
to the Opening of a new Northern outlet"
for the mineral wealth of Pennsylvania has
committed most egregious blunder by Civ
ing the Cattawissa rail road the credit for
furnishing the method by which the first
cargoes of Pennsylvania coal were taken into
New York State"
The coal referred TO- was not carried over
a single foot Of the Cattawissa road. 1t was
brought from the mines at Shamokin in Nor
thumberland county 20 miles over the Phila.
and Sunbury rail road to Sunbury, and from
thence 80 miles over the Sunbury and Erie
road to Willamsport, and from that point rs
miles over the Williamsport and Elmira road
to Elmira, not touching the Cattawissa road
except at its point of intersection with the
Sunbury and Erie at Milton IL miles above
Sunbury. If any company is deserving o.
commendation for developing and opening
the coal trade OF the middle region with the
North it is the Philadelphia and Sunbury raj
road company and the pioneers of the Goa
operations in the Shamokin coal region
Their operations have not only been conduct
ed on a scale of grandeur and magnitude un
surpassed in this country, but the road is on'
OF the most solid and substantial structures
iu this state, over which trains, numbering
from so TO 40 cars Of coal, are daily brough
u thp piece.

NoRTHUMBERLANDC COUNTY AGRiCULTU.
RAJ EXHIBITION.

The annual fair Of the Northumberland
county Agricultural Society was held at
Sunbury, on Tuesday, the 10th inst. The
weather proved favorable, and there was
much better exhibition on the grounds than
we had anticipated, although it fell far short
of what it should be, and Of what could be
done, if our farmers and others would take
hold of the matter with proper spirit, The
success Of these exhibitions in some Of the
eastern counties in this state has been Of
great advantage to the interests of the Agri-
culturist, and has also proved that these Fairs
when properly conducted, can sustain them
selves, and at the same time pay out large
sums to exhibitors, stimulating them TO fur
ther improvement and success. But to do
this it has been found necessary to select o
permanent location-to purchase ground and
erect suitable buildings. In Lehigh county
the Society have pnrchased eight acres Of
ground which they have enclosed with q high
fence and on which they have erected large
and commodious buildings, sheds, and neces
sary fixtures. The different articles for eXhi
bition are assigned to various rooms in the
main building adapted for that purpose. The
roof which is u Cat ono is capable Of sustain
ing a large number Of spectators, and from
which can be witnessed the various scenes
of the exhibition The Fair is continued
three days, and the receipts for admission anC
membership, count by thousands of dollars.
There is no reason why the same thing coult
not be accomplished here if conducted in
similar manner.

NEW BUILDInG MATERIAL.-The Cleveland
Herald speaks of a new kind of bricks which
have been introduced there for building pur-
poses. They have the appearance of granite,
and are made Of sand aud lime. the blocks
being subjected to great pressure while in
nearly dry state. In size they are ten by
four and fSe inches and followed, the linden
ted part being seven by one and half inches
After the bricks are formed into shape and
pressed they are subjected to the action OF
the atmosphere, and soon become as hard as
rock, and insensble to the frost or rain
These bricks cost twenty dollars per thou
sand but the inventors say they are cheaper
than clay bricks that cost three dollars, be,
cause they furnish SO smooth an interior sur
face that no plastering is necessary. and be-
ing followed, the walls do not require to be
cred.
