deep TO be forled, but being anxious tc

the place where the catastrophe occurred,
two bridges, one over the Carding Mil
race, and one over the River proper. In
ficshets the whole space between and
around the bridges is overaowed. To as
certain the depth of the water, he got Out

In New York a shocking murder was
committed On Tuesday morning at No. 4
Baxter street, by shoemaker named Ed
ward Mcdonald, while laboring under a
temporary fit Of insanity. ltappears from
the testimony tina! he must have risen
from his bed about 2 O. clock while his wife
was sleeping, struck light and lighted
the candle and placed it on the table, then
went and procured his razor, returned to
bed, and deliberately cut his wife's throat
from ear to ear. 1t also appears that she
must have been asleep at..the time the deed
was committed, and that consciousness
was only restored for shot time, and that
in less than half an hour she returned te
sleep the sleep OF death. The wound il
the throat was so effectual that it was ut
r terly impossible on her part to cry; thu
windpipe being severed: The servantgir
who slept in the same room was awaken
ed by heavy fall on the floor, perhaps i
was only death leap. The girl immedi
ately gave the alarm and assistance wa
procured. In the meantime the murdere
walked cody down Baxter street to Chat

A MILLER Sold WITH WHEAT.--Start
not realer-its no horrible relation that
we are about to make! We are not go
ing to tell how milIel--a Rochester mil
ler, the paragon ofthc rrolession-was put
into d bag, erupticd into the hopper, eleya-
ted and sold at twenty-ono shlllings per
sixty pounds. Nothing Of the sort. But
we will tell how one Of the aforesaid very
clever gentlemen was sold by a Canadian.
Not long since gentleman from the trans
Ontario Province, brought across the Lake
cargo of very choice A. No. one white
wheat. He showed sample to a miller
here who pronounced it good for Canada,
but not worth 50 much rs Geuessee by a
shilling a bushel, and what was more, he
pretended to see the difference in the article
very plainly, The Canadian, probably
by little Yankee advice, resolved to sell
our friend the miller some Of that same in
ferior Canada wheat for pure Genesse, -
and did so. He hired a man with team
to put enough Of the wheat into bags tc
fill wagon, which was driven to the mil
of the aforesaid miller, and the Canads
wheat acas sold for Ge~esee and the cur
rent price current for Gene&ee paid. Th
miller was sold under the impression tha
the seller had brought the wheat from tn
country. This was a clever trick, and W
have reason to believe this was not tn
only load of Canada wheat which has beel
sold for Genesec by a similar process
We don't mean to be unde stood that tn
average Of Canada wheat is SO nice as t.
pass for prime Genesec, but there arc som
parcels Of it are quite as good as comno
| Genesee. -RocheSter Uniou.

It is singular fact That of the class which,
