Murder and suicide.

A man named lngersoll, in Chicago,
killed his wife and then shot himself.
They had been separated for a time and
the wife had applied for a divorce. which
application was sui pending. The hus-
band had endcavored to bring about a
reconciliation but in vain, and hearing
that his wife had been attending a party
and the theatre with his supposed rival,
he became desperate, and borrowing Il
pistol invited his wife to walk. They
had walked but a short distance when
Ingersoil fred a ball into her breast,
MORALLY wounding her, and turned the
pistol To his own heart and fired another
barrel producing almost instant death.
The Journal says:
jealousy doubtless had lis share in
the terrible occurrence, and as is always
the case, there was blame on both sides.
Nothing is changed against the young
wife more than indlscretlOns, which
aroused her husbands jealousy. Rath-
er than have her another's, he shot her
and himself. Inger>oll though Of I'M
happy temper, was Il temperate, indus
lrious man, and provided handsomely for
his house.

3 Chantar About Clocks.

Haroun ell Reschid, in 500, sent "a
clock TO Charlemagne, which was so ar
ranged that horsemen came forth from
it, and ~displayed themselves at the hour
of twelve.
So the g~ourmand Trimalchio kept a
~clepsydra in his dining room, with a
trumpeter stationed to the
hour.
Since the fourteenth century, clocks
have been placed upon steePles and 9TH
er conspicuous public buildings, in order
that people Of cities and large townsmight
have uniformity, as well as facility in
obtaining clock time. Hence a simulia
neousness of movement in all iarge cities,
at appointed hours.
Fanny Kemble gave to the town OF
New England, where she has her cot
tage perch, a clock with such an enor
nous dial hat the time may be seen a
mile or more.
An old gentleman, though misery,
gave to his native town a clock for the
old church with three dials, and his name
emblazoned for time, perhaps, on one
of them. He alleged as his reason, that
be liked TO have his money where he
could hear 1t tick.
General ~ashington would not wait
for a guest, If, deceived by a bad watch,
he did not come 10 dine a, the hour APP
pointed.
A nobleman celebrated for punctuali-
ty, who was To meet the king at twelve,
was startled by the striking of the clock
as he was passing the ante-chamber.
Enraged, he smashed the dial with his
cane. "'Why did you strike the clock?"
said the king. Sir" said he, " the
clock struck first
The English Board of Longitude re-
wa ded Harrison with S1OO, GOO for a
marine watch which determined lorgi,

were non and four brass. Ordinary pen.
dulums went f ster in winter than in sum

elongated them. These improved pen.
duIums, being made of different metals,
compensated or equated those effects,
and now, it Is said, there are ehIonome-
lers which do not vary one stroke Of the
pendulum in a year. This brings us as
near to true time rs We can approach.
As for watches, they do so notorious

p9irs, and so one serves 10 correct the
other.

Cleveland and MahOniue Railroad.

It is CRAFTY ing to see how rapidly the
great Mshoning Railroad progresses.
From the very first its management was
characterized by energy and caution.
At one period, work on a portion oft was
partially suspended /; bGt this suspension
was merely temporary.
1t must be a source of honest pride to
the men who projected the road, 10 see
their labOrS so nearly crowned with sue
cess. Most of the trark between this
city and Warren is now ready for the
rail. Nearly all the bridges anu c~ulveris
are finished. and a large amount Of rail
Is already laid down. The bridge across
the Cuyahoga will be up in a few days;
between this bridge and the deep cut
through Scranton's Point. the rail is
down, and the locomotive pulTs and
screams. The bridge across the track Of
the c. IL c. Railroad is finished, and is
a most substantial structure. The stone
abutments on which it rests are models
of strength. The deep cut through
Scranton's Point is nearly finished, and
about half of the rail is already laid down.
We apprehend that this cut will long be
subject TO land slides"
Nearly opposite the Harrison street
bridge, a substantial Locomotive house
as VT may term it, has been erected. A
splendid new locomotive named the Ne
hORing, was in il when we were last
there. The amount of filling up between
this building and the CuyaLoga River,
is almost incredible. The great embank-
ment near the termination of the North
Branch of tie Cleveland d. Toledo Rail
road, is scarcely a mole stupenduous
work. Our people have cause TO rejoice
that the Mahoning RAILROAD has pro-
guessed so far already 4; for it will add
immensely to our trade and population.
Its Repair Shops and Depots will give
employment TO hundreds Of men, and it
will open up the nearest route between
Cleveland and the Atlantic Ocean,.

Carson Valley

The boundary between Utah and Cali
fornia has been at length adjusted, and
most of the Carson Valley settlements
are found to be IN the former division of
the Urion. a letter from Judge Orson
Hyde, at the new Mormon town of Ge-
noa. in that valley, says that only a very
small portion of the upper end ofthe val
ley or lower part OF the great canon, is
found to be upon the California side Of
line. Judge Hyde has organized the
county of Carson in Utah Territory. EN-.
bracing almost the entire valley with the
adjacent territory. On the Goth of Sep
TENDER the various county officers were
elected. These settlements were not
Mormon, but the polite author ties at
the Salt Lake have established a new
town, called Genoa, obviously with a
view to throwing enough MoImons into

From a paragra phi in the Placerville
american We gather that the south fork
of the Carson river and its tributaries
flow over gold placers, and that he min
ing heretofore confined most exclusively
to Gold Canon, Is now being extended
over the gold fields to the south OF the
valley. Miners are as busily constructing
there mining diJches, many miles in
length. All this is in Utah, and these
miners are subject to the laws and de-
crees of Brigham Young and his coad
tutors. Can these people get along with
the Mormons ? They want a separate
territory organized for them. and we
think It will have TO be done sooner or la
tel. The Carson valley gold placers sre
west OF the great Sierra Nevada. and the
inference is irresistible that gold will be
found in all the streams flowing east
from hat range of mountains. In that
case a considerable mining population
would be thrown into Utah, all inimical
