= BosToN IN Is55.-The following affair
has very naturally caused considerable excite
ment in Boston where the two young men,
Coburn and Dalton, are nowundcr arrest on a
charge of murder. We copy from the
Boston Advertiser.
Two daughters Of Mr.. John Cove are mar
ried to young men named Edward q. Coburn
and Frank Dalton. These ''ladies' s'-for 50
it is most convenient to call them-contract-
ed an intimacy, unknown to their husbands,
with two young men named Josiah Porter
and William Sumner. The acquaintance
began in a confectionery saloon, and was
cherished by appointments at similar places,
walking upon the street, and other simple
amusements. Some letters had passed be-
tween the parties; but although we may
characterize such proceedings as wrong and
foolish, it does not appear that the acquain-
tance of the young men with their charmers
had been urged to degree either hurtful or
! dangerous. The young men had never
visited the houses Of their friends, and never
met them except in public places.
The acquaintance or intimacy such US it
was became known, however, to the hus-
bands; and on the 18th of November last,
that day being Saturday, Mr., Porter received
a note from Mrs. Coburn, begging him to
own house, where he had never been;) adding
that her husband was absent. The request
was urgent and Mr. Porter complied. On
entering the house he was instantly seized
by Coburn and his brother in-law Dalton,
who proceeded to assault him violently with
"cowhides' which they had in readiness for
the purpose. Before the cowardly revenge
Of the husbands had been sated by this un-
manly attack, Mr. Porter succeeded in
escaping from the house.
This was not ali, On the same day, about
two hours later, as Mr., Sumner, in entire
ignorance of the attack upon Mr.. Porter
was discussing cup of tea at a Refreshments
room before proceeding to take the cars fol
his residence in Milton, he was waited upon
by Messrs. Coburn and Dalton, both stran-
gers to him, who informed him that Mrs
Dalton desired particularly to see him imne
diately at this same house, No. a. Shawmut
avenue. Mr.. Sumner replied that his ac
quaintance with Mrs. Dalton was very slight
that he could not suppose that a visit from
him should be matter of essential conse
quence to her-that it would not be conven
lent for him to call now, because he had bu
Just time to take the latest train OF car
for his residence in Milton.
The gentlemen" however, rejoined tina
Mrs. Dalton certainly was very anxious Il
see him-and that if he would step into
carriage which they had in waiting, they
! would conduct him to her and atterward
drive him home.
Our readers will agree with us that n,
thing but the most innocent consciousness o
integrity could have induced Mr.. Summer t.
comply with this proposal. He did comply
however, and ON reaching the house in Shaw
NUT avenue he was dragged into the cellar b

A HARD CAsE.-The Albany Register says
there is in that city young man, seventeen
years of age, possessing voice and face 80
strikingly feminine, with some resemblance in
gait and manner to female, that he is often
mistaken for a female in male attire. lie is
often molested by rowdies, who mistake him
for female, and he has been obliged to
obtain certificate as to his sex from the
Chief of Police to insure himself from suspi-
cion and arrest The Register says that a
brother Of the young man possesses the same
feminine countenance and voice, while his
sister has a masculine face and voice. lie
has frequently assumed female attire. and
feels at ease in that dress-and indeed is less
liable to attract attention in that costum than
lin the one properly ybelonging to him. If all
this is correct the beautiful young man must

the two husbands, and after being most un-
mcrcifully pounded was thrown out at the
back door, whence he effected his escape over
fence-his assailants continuing their blows
until the last monent-and finally made shit
to reach his home in Milton.
Yesterday he died.
Both Coburn and Dalton are clerks; the
former in the store of his father-in-law, in
Merchants Row. They we're long since
rested and bound over for trial to answer for
the assault. An episode in the history OF
crime likewise occurred, from the arraign-
ment of Coburn to answer to charge OF
stealing Sl700 from the safe of Mr.. Cove, his
father in-law. They have now both been put
under arrest to await the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury summoned TO investigate the facts
connected with the death of their victim,
Sumner.
What Is called the "respectability' of the
parties who are made the victims of this
conspiracy. of course has nothing to do with
the merits Of the case; yet we may re-
mark that we understand that Mr.. Porter is
a graduate Of Harvard College of the class OF
1852, and that Mr.. Sumner, cousin of the
Hon. Charles Sumner, had recently completed
a course of studies preparatory to entering
upon profession.
But we feel bound to add that in measuring
the degree Of guilt attaching respectively to
Coburn and Dalton, it should e recollected
that the latter is much younger than his as
sociate before the public eye-that he is
newly-married to wife of whose character
what we have already said sufficiently speaks
and that it is perhaps not unnatural that
he should have submitted to the influence Of
his brother-in-law in attributing his want Of
domestic felicity to the wrong cause, and in
Joining him in seeking a remedy for it.

y The MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS of Monday
were significant eff the opposition of the in
telligence, the education and the property
of our esatern cities to the supremacy of..the
self-styled American party in their munici-
pal governments One year ago the latter
swept, with an almost universal and irresIs-
tible might, all the cities of the State, with
but two exceptions-Charlesto and New
buryport elected, in opposition, by slender
majorities, municipal officers nominated with
out any reference to party preposessions. In
Boston the secret organization elected their
Mayor and their entire Board of Aldermen,
by nearly two thou sand majority, and carried
every Ward in the city, with but three ex-
ceptions, electing three fourths the Council,
School Committee and Ward Officers Rox-
bury, Lowell, Lynn, Cambridge, Springfield,
all passed into the hands of the new organi-
zation- In all these cities, one years expe-
rience has sufhced, and no desire is expressed
on the part of the majority to intrust the
partisans of the new regime with the man
