tn the authority af Col. Lloyd and Capt. Fal-

series of levels from Panama to Chagres, 1t has
been very generally believed that there existed
difference of meanlevel between the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans und many ingenious theories have
been devised Ia Recount for this fsupposed) fact,
and elaborate deductions in favor and against tho
practcnhility of ship canal have been drawn

Tho difference oi the mean height of the two
oceans was stated To be- 3 % feet--the Pecifc,

1t has been lutely decided by Col. Totten, af-

SUICIDE By A You've WrFE.-There
was no little excitement in Poughkeep-
sic, N. Y, on Tuesday night, in conse-
quenee of the suicide Of Mrs. NJ. v.
Seller, wife of John Seller, Of Mil
street. Some time during the afternoon
she went to the drugstore kept BY Mr..
Wood and purchased some arsenic, say
ing that she wanted it to kill rats. She
took it soon after, and at six o'clock
was dead. The following letter, written
to her husband, shows that her excuse
for so desperate deed is the behavior
of her husbands relatives. Any per-
son aspiring 10 the title Of man, who
permits the interference of relatives be-
tween himself and his wife, or in any
way tolerates mischievous meddling,
ought not to hope for sympathy when
the distracted and hunted one thus es-
eapes the torment:
"DEAR JOHN: sit down to write to
you for the last time. John, 1 am
downhearted. 1 can't stand it any
longer. Forgive me for what l have
done. Take care of Josey, and don't
think of what l have done. 1 loved
you too well. Oh, Godl forgive mel
After you went away on Monday noon
your father and mother commenced at
me. This morning 1 said 1 would give
them a dollar week and help to do the
work, but they would not do it. They
said that, if it had not been for me,
George would have been at Diettrich's,
and you would have been with them
John, l can't stand it. Ishall trouble
them no more. Ny time is at an end.
/ know that it will be hard for you, and
it is hard for me. i would like to see
you. but l cannot. So. goodbye for
ever, till we meet hereafter.

ATRocIoUs MURDER AT WABASH, IN
DIANA WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.
We learn from the Wabash Gazette,
of the 1Ith inst, Of the discovery, in
the vicinity of that place. of the bodies
Of an entire family, who, it is supposed,
were murdered some time ago, by a
man named Hubbard and his wife; both
of whom are at present confined in the
Wabash Jail, charged with the murder
Of aman named Bogles. 1t seems that
some time in September last. this Hub
bard family went~o board with family
by the name Of French, who then lived
in the cabin since occupied by the Hub
bard's.
IThis.French family consisted Of seven
persons, the father, mother and FIVE
children. They were a very poor fsmi
ly that had been Giving in the neighbor-
hood six or seven years, and were well
known by all the neighbors. Some
time in October, Mr.. Lewis, a near
neighbor went to the cabin of French to
purchase his corn.
He was met at the fence in front of
the cabin by the Hubbard's, and was
told that the night before Mr.. French's
brother had come along with wagon
and had taken Mr.. French's whole
family with him, and had started for
Illinois, and that they had purchased all
their things, including the corn, garden,
and furniture. A day or two after
ward, Mr.. Stearnes Fisher went over to
inquire if the French's needed any as
sistance, and was met in the same way
BY the Hubbard's and was told the same
story.
No suspicious were entertained at the
time that foul play had been used, and
nothing occurred until after the body of
Boyles had been found and the Hub
bard's were arrested. 1t then began to
be thought these monsters had mur-
dered the whole family. This led to
further investigations, which resulted in |
the discovery Of the bodies of the entire
French family buried in large pit, dug
beneath the floor of the cabin.
Their. skulls were all broken in, and
the legs of the old man French and his
wife were broken, so that they could be
doubled up and forced into the hole,
which was three or four feet deepl-
They were laid in heap, the father and
mother at the bottom, and the children
on top. The babe was about fifteen
months old, and the Oldest child about
fifteen years old. There were three
girls and two boys. The children were
much decayed, but the parents were
still sound, and were easily recognized J.
by those who had known them.

NEWSPAPERS. Judge Longstreet,
whose views on all subjects are sensible,
practical, and worth treasuring up, thus
sets forth the value of newspaper:
"Small is the sum that is required to
patronize newspaper, and most amply
renumerated is the patron. 1 care not
how humble and unpretending the ga
zette which he takes, it is next to i'm
possible to FIJI sheet ffty-two times in
year, without putting into it some
thing that is worth the subscription
price, Every parent whose son is of
from him at school should be supplied
with paper. 1 well remember what
difference there was between those OF
my schoolmates who had and those who
had not access to newspapers. Other
things being equal, the first were al
ways decidedly superior to the last in
debate and composition at least. The
reason is plain; they had command of
more facts. Youth viii peruse news
paper with delight when they will read
nothing else.''
