AWFUL TfAGrDY IN LITTLE COMPTON.
We learn that an awful tragedy occurred
in Little Compton, X. l., on Monday which
resulted in the death OF young man nam
ed Valentine $. Amy, son OF Mr.. Fredcr-
ick Almy. Ii appears that the deceased
was on his way to a fishing excursion ard
stopped Tor short time at the residence OF
his uncle, Mr. John T.. Almy. While there,
AM standing by fence, his cousin, Char
les L. Almy, son of Mr.. J. +. Almy, went
into a corn house near by and took gun
which was in the building and shot Valen-
tine, wounding him mortaily. The gun
was charged with mould shot, three Of
which passed through the left arm OF the
deceased one through the body, inflcins a
Il ,sh wound, anl one into the bod y below
the vial organs. lie fingered from Q
o'clock in he morning when the fatal act
occurred, un,l , l.2 o'clock, this morning,
when he died Charles Immediately fled
20 his room, and declined answering any
questions as to the cause OF the murderous
act-ouly stating that Valentine knew
what il was for" Valentine on being in
terroga,ed before he died, said that he knew
nothing about it. No steps had been taken
IN to the time of Valentines decease, to
secure the arrest of Charles. 1t is sup
posed that the cousins had some di fficulty
while in California, from which place VAL
cntine returned some time since, and Chr-
les but few weeks ago, although its Ia.
ture is not known. The deceased was 23
years of age. lie was at home on a vist
hayiag been for some time past employed
in the aporhccary establishment of Mr..
Sylvester Almy in Boston, Charles is
about the same aye. 1t is horrible affair
and must be the source Of great excitement
in the quiet town in which it occurred

Almy has been arrested and was COM
mi,tcd to Jail in this city on Wednesday.

I-r The Spirit.rapping mania is prevail
ing to a considerable extent in this city, at
present; meetings are held at different
places every day aud evening, where theso
myste rions performances take place. We
are sorry for this, because il is very evident
that no benefit will accrue thereby TO any
ons,--b't on the contrary, much mischief
may be done. There is not an Inssno
Asylum in the country that does not con-
tain large number of persons whe are
the victims OF this delusion, and whose
minds are cIoudcd By an impenerable veil
which no human power can remove.
The Bible tells us that the dead shall
rest until the last great Resurrection, when
all shall be Judged according to deeds done
in the body on earth. How futile, how
wicked is it, then, to pretend that tho i'm
mortal souls of the departed are communi-
eating with the living, and ihit, too, ly
such ridiculous means as rappings, tipping
Of tables, knocking over chairs and other
modes equally absurd. Men and women.
instead OF striving to converse with spirits
in the eternal world, had much better de-
vote their time and energies here to the
accomplishment of the great works and i''a
fulfment of all the duties which God re-
quires Of them.

Mr.. EuIroR 1T was a matter Of re-
gret with many, may not say all, wio
heard Mr. Richmond on Saturday evening,
that SO few were present, owing to the
short notice which was given.
1t is hoped that those who had this ple'-
sure wi II induce their friends to attend the
remaining lectures, as by so doing they
will enjoy one OF the rarest intellectual
treats of the season.
Unfortunately people do not understand
what these lectures are,--that they are
neither proSy nor CON non'place, at the
same time conveying vast deal of inform
alton. observation-disclosures, they
have heard 80 many that they are sick Of
the very name. But these are Of differ
ent character, merely pleasant, familiar in
structive talks--entirely Sui generis.
From his large views on all subjects, en-.
tire freedom from clerical atfectat,on and
ogmatism-extensve sympathy with the
poor, the shackIcd and the down trodden-
keen perception of the ridiculous, and great
flucncy, and independence in expressing
his honest convictions, Mr.. r., is admir-
bly, calculated for a popular lecturer.
Should he be induced to repeat those
lectures in New York, there is no doubt
they will be we'll received.

An lSrgLLIGEsr CoURT.-It is often a

the first principles of our Government, as
well as other things relating to this coun-

across the water. The publisher OF the
London Times who talked so luminously
in a speech, in the House of Commons
about The President OF Virginia, and the
universal disfavor in which the ballot is held
in this country, was thought to be a model
Of stupidity by Americans but Horace
Greeley tells Of lawyer who read from
French Journal paragraph professedly
based on American newspaper authority,
asserting that all the articles remaining in
the Crystal Palace had been coniScated by
our Government for non.paymcnt Of duties.
This very intelligent idea OF the relation
which our Government holds To the Crystal
Palace, is probably as much as We can en-
pect from a French lawyer or a Parislan
Journal. One would have thought that the
prosecutors of an American editor, on the
ground that no was Director OF the Crys-
tai Palace Association, would have taken
the prccauiion to become deccntly acquain-
ted with the facts before bringing the case
into Court. We are glad to hear that Mr..
