tive resort, fol- gentlemen and ladies. The
walls are colored very prettily, and the ceiling
is edged with a cornice Of a unique and ele-
CANT design. Through the centre OF the hall
runs a set of bookshelves, and against the
walls on either side are book cases with glass
doors, stocked with attractive bindings. In
the rear part of the hall, which Is about one
hundred feet deep, and thirty or forty wide,
are the parlors the members of the firm, the
Offices OF the clerks and assistants. and re-
firing room for consultation. All these are
neatly and simply furnished in style appro-
pirate to their object. Upon large table in
this part Of the store are kept the newspapers

gentlemen and ladies who may find it conve,
nient to read or write while waiting at the
store. The second, third or fourth stories of
the building are also loaded with books. The
whole of the building is used by the firm.

come widely known throughout the country
by their numerous and valuable publications.
In their new and more accessible location they
will become even better known at home than

An AWFUL TRAGEDY occurred i'll the vi
entity of Cascade, Iowa, on Friday night
Robert McGinty went to the house of his IA
ther-in law, Mr.. Clark; residing a short dis
lance beyond Cascade, and commenced an as
sault upon his wife, who had gone there to es-
cape his ill-treatment, when the father, Mr..
Clark, interlered by drawing pistol from his
pocket, and informing McGluty that he would
shoot him if he did not deslst McGinty
seized hat-iron and knocked the old man
down, took the pistol from him and shot him.
During the time shat this Ienconter was go
ing on between McGinty and Clark, the wife
escaped to a neighbours house but fearing
pursuit from her demon husband, she left the
house and lent into the woods, and there Sc
GREETED herself Mr.. McGinty followed to the
house where the wife had letrealed, and not
finding her there, swore he would shoot the
woman of the house if she did not inform him
Of the place OF co0cealment of the wife. The
woman, alarmed for her safety, informed Me
Glnty the direction the wife had taken. Bent
on blood, he pursued and found her concealed
in the bushes, and horrible to relate, cut her
head nearly OFF. He then went to his own
house, and placing the muzzle of the pistol
under his chin, discharged it, the ball passing
out Of his right cheek. Finding this effort to
destroy life Intellectual, he discharged three
balls into his abdomen, and then attempted
to sever his windpipe by drawing knife
across his throat. He was found sometime
during Friday night at his own house, in bed
and still alive, by some men from Cascade in
pursuit of him. They placed him in wagon
and started for Cascade, but before they reach
ed there, life had left the carcass of this mser-
able wretch. 1t is doubtful whether Clark
will survive.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Boston Courier, of the oath inst, pub
fishes the following extract from the London
Morning Chronicle, and makes quite fuss
about it -
I'VE must confess that our estimate of the
American character will be materially lower
ed, if there be not, before long. some satisiac-
tory reputation OF the outstanding tone
adopted by portion of the press, and, there
fore, it may be supposed, by portion OF the
public. Fraternization between democracy
and absolutism is unnatural and discreditable,
&C., &c"
The Courier considers the above to be
call upon the Executive of the United States,
to put down the one public journal, in the
United States, which does not echo the Ian
guage of the English newspapers, but auda-
ciously pretends to have an opinion of its
own" The audacious journal, to which the
Courier has reference, is, of course, the CoU-
rier. Every paper in this country has ex-
pressed its want of sympathy with the policy
of Russia, except the Courier. That manly,
brave, independent, republican journal stands
alone in its courageous defence of Russian ex-
pansion and supremacy; and being so omnip-
otently influential, of course, the British gov
eminent must pant to see it muzzled.
But, seriously, the Courier mingles with its
absurd vanity and affectaton of wit a certain
earnestness of Justification, that might easily
excite the wonder of any liberal mind in Eu.
rope, that such journal could exist in Mas
sachusetts 1t says that the alliance of
France, Britain, and Turkey, is an alliance OF
despotisms, to sustain paganism. Now, the
alliance of France and Britain is simply all
alliance to prevent the spread of semi barba-
rism and despotisn over Europe. 1t has no
reference to the internal polity, or theological
tenets, of the respective countries forming the
alliance. Besides, Russia is the aggressor,
while the allies are acting in the defensive
Russia seeks territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but
France and Britain only seek to maintain the
present territorial limits of Europe. We can
easily see how our countrymen may be some
what indifferent to the struggle that is now
pending before Sebastopol, but We cannot
comprehend how any one, in his right mind,
should wish Russia to succeed. The Courier
seems to stand alone, i'll this unenviable po-
stion.

YoUNa RoGUEs.-A gang of young rogues
has been arrested in Exeter, N H., who have
been carrying matters with high hand
Sometime since large quantity of goods were
stolen from the store of I. & j. D. Newcomb
in Haverhill, Ms, and more recently similar
thefts have been committed in Exeter. Sus-
picion rested upon two or three boys, and they
finding that they were watched, absconded-
The residence of one of them was then search
ed and great quantity of vests, socks, silk
handkerchiefs, silver spectacles, &C., &C.,
found hidden under some wood, and were re-
cognized by the Messrs. Newcomb as their
property. Officers started in pursuit Of the
boys, but nothing was heard of them until
Monday morning of last week, when they
were discovered returning TO Exeter, and
were arrested. One of them was armed with
a loaded revolver, They stated that they had
spent their money in high living in Boston,
and were obliged to retun on foot, sleeping IN
barn and an Irish shsnty at night, ard al
most perishing with the cold. Two of them
were examined at Haverhill and committed
to Jail to await their trial.

The Supreme Court of Ohio on Sat-
urday, decided that the liquor law passed by
the legislature, is constitutional. The law
prohibits the retailing Of liquor, with tho ex-
ception Of native wines, beer, and CT Ter, the
penalty for violation being fine and impris-
onment. Some Of the Cincinnati hotel keep
ers, convicted several months since, will now
have to undergo their punishment, twenty
days in jail.

TrThe Sunday rum traffic has been near
ly ii not quite suppressed i'll New York.
Mayor Wood, instead of croaking about the
impossibility of executing the law, has reused
himself, and straightway proceeded to execute
it. The Tribune of Monday says;
"Another remarkably quiet Sunday passed
away yesterday. The rum shops were very
closely watched, aud but few yentured to
defy the law. While no man should be en-
titled TO especial credit for simply doing his
duty, we confess to moderate share of ad .
miration for the unhnching manner in which
the Mayor has prosecuted his legitimate au-
thority, and forced compliance from a class of
citizens pIoverbial for their disregard Of all
laws that interfered with their profits. One
house which was open week ago, confessed
to making a hundred dollars by that one Sab
bath violation; but, under the pressure of a
special threat, concluded that the certain loss
Of their license would be paying too dear for
the whistle yesterday. What with the closing
OF the rum shops, and drizzly, half-rainy
atmosphere, yesterday was peaceable and
even dull day for New York city,"

The r. r. ACCIDENT AT CLAPPvILLE.-
We learn that the cause of the Rail Road Ac-
cident at Clappville, OH Tuesday night was the
breaking of the switch rail. The stove in the
car which was sent down the embank ment was
80 strongly secured that it remained in its place.
Had it not been so secured the consequences
would undoubtedly have been much more Sc
lious, but the main cause Of the wonderful
prescrvatiye of the passengers was the great
strength of the passenger cars.
