AwiHl Tragedy.

John C. Fleming and Henry w. Flem-
ing, sons Of Capt. William Fleming, form
erly of Cumberland county, Pa, but now
residing at Monmouth, ILL.,, were killed on
the ll.h inst, at the latter place, by man
named Crosier. A letter in the Rochester
American gives the following particulars
of the sad affair:
"Mr. Fleming, who is an elderly gentle
man, and his two sons, about rs to %
years of ugc, had called upon Mr.. Crosier
ut his rooms at the Baldwin House, armed
each with n loaded pistol, to coerce the
latter gentleman into concession and re-
traction o! canmny affecting their daughter
and sister, with which they charged Mr. c.
Mr.. G., after scme pretty warm language
had passed between the parties, agreed to
and did sign retraction in the presence OF
friend, whom the MessrS. Fleming had
brought with them.
Immediately after delivering. the paper in
to the possession of their friend, the Mcssrs.
! F., or one of the brothers, said to Mr.. C.
IL am now going to cowhide you;" and
one Of the boys, holding cooked pistol in
his hand, directed the other to irfict the
threatened punishment, which he immeti-
atcly commenced. II, had struck three or
four blows; when c. pulled dirk knife
! from side pocket, and passing at the same
time his hand around the neck oI the one wht
piled the lash stabbed him in the lett beast
and, as quick as thought, withdrew the knife
and stru the one who held the pistol,
backhanded blow, which reached, as did thu
first, to the heart of his victim. Both broth
ers received their death wounds, in les
than two seconds, and both were bloody
rorpses in less than three minutes after the,
were struck.
The sympathies Of the people are mos'!:
with Crosier, who gave himself up. Ii

Ina Close Place.

Ono account Of Nicnrsgusn affairs states
that the two hundred aud fifty wounded and
sick, with the women and children, who had
been sent by Walker 10 0metepe, were at.
tackled by the native Indians Of the island
and probably all massncred. When they
succeeded in making their escape, the wo-
men and children, wounded aud well, were
running in every direction, hallooing in fran.
tic fright, and attempting TO conceal them.
selves from the Indians, who were said
to have been supplied with arms BY the enc
my in Rivas. There were no attempts made
at defense-all appeared overcome with fear,
and were being butchered by the savages.-
The passengers did not sail till two days af.
ter this, and yet no further intelligence hac
been received from Ometeps up to that time
1t is feared that the helpless ones, il rot all
were destroyed in that terrible butchery.
A letter speaking Of the burning of Gran
ada, says:
Property to an enormous extent was con-
sumed-much OF it owned by foreigners
whose governments will doubtless seek in
dpmnity. For some days the troops under
TIenningsen gave themselves up 10 the wild
est debsuehery. PIunder, Drunkenness, ant
all sorts Of cxcesses were the order of the
day. Henningsen was totally power!ess il
his attempts to bring them to their duty
/ The consequences which were to have beer
expected followed. Before any Of the ma
ntions of war could be transported from
Granada to Virgin Bay (as Walker intend
ed they should) the allied forces besieged the
plaza where the troops were garrisoned.
Another letter, referring to the rumor o
the massacre, snys thirty-six Of the sick diet
after reaching the island, and some twenty
escaped. 1t then adds:
Whether the rest were slaughtered o
merely made prisoners Of war, was no
known to Il certainty. Those who escapet
in the boats suffered dreadful hardships. -
There was only one woman among them
Mrs. Atkins, wife Of one of the musicians
All the American women in Nicaragua wer
on the island With their chidren-perhap
forty in number. Colonel Skerrt, Coone
Thompson, General Fry, CHptain Baldwin
and number Of other officers were on th
island. but there was no organized militar!
force.

Hard Timcs-FcarS of u FiMan-
ciaI Crisis.

Every mail from Europe brings word Of
a financial embarrassment nearly all over
the Continent, as we'll as in the British Isles.
1t is mainly the result of wild and unprcce-
dented speculation in RAILROAD stocks. The
rate of interest ut the Bank of England is
seven per cent.-,hree per cent. higher than
that ordinarily taken. To what on extent
the pecuniary embarrassment will be felt is,
of course, uncertain. But when we consider
tions existing between America and Europe
we cannot reasonably hope to 90 unscathed
The business records of the country, will
show that the condition of financial affairs
on the Continent, has always been mos'
sensibIy felt on this side Of the water.
The report Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury lately submitted to Congress. shows th'
amount of American stocks held by foreign
ers, to be OVER THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS o
dollars. If this amount is sent hume 70
realization it cannot fail TO influence til
money market immencely. We may loo

Hardly day passes without record {
some general crash in monetary affairs, il
volving the ruin Of hun dreds and thousant

There is one wuy and only one, in whit
we muy secure ourselves against such r
suit. Get RID OF all doubtful tank bills al

Judge Lecompte, of Ksnsas, has been re-

ses, and the privilege of bail refused them
while the advocates Of slavery were suffered
to 90 at largo even though the blood Of the
innocent was upon their skirts.
The position of judge is fear'ully res
Pensible, and a sacred Office. He mus
swcrve neither to the right hand or to the
left. His duty must be performed regard
less of fear or favor from any source what
ever. In this regard, Lecompte has utterly
failed. The circumstance which led imme'
diately to his removal, was the fact tina,
when Gov. Geay had caused Hayes, the
murderer, to be arrested, the evidence OF his
guilt being clear and overwhelming, he was
released by Lecompte on a writ OF hdbea'
corpus. Such proceeding is unusual, ile'
gal, and an outrage of oil principles of JUS
tice.
Gov. Geary has now clear field before
him, wherein to carry forward his work o.
restoring peace to Kansas and harmony to
. the Union. God grant he may be success
full in his enterprise. We believe he will.

The Oyster Trade.

Few persons are aware Of the extent OF
the oyster trade in Baltimore. The sales
amount in year, we are told, to between
between two and three millions Of dollars.
One dealer in this city has for some time
past paid nearly three hundred dollars per
day for lreiyhts aone on oysters brought
from Baltimore by the Railroads. In
single day thirty tons arrived Oil cars. They
are not all for consumption in this city, how
ever; but are sent ia various directions by
rivers and railroads. Some OF them g. fnr
to the west. Oysters are now not merely
q luxury, bu, an important article of food for
the people. BY cultivation supply can be
produced equal to any demand, and thousands
OF people are engaged in the business.
By similar cultivation they can be produc-
ed almost everywhere in salt water, though
differing IN quality and favor in different
climates and localities. Baltimore has long
been famous for the excellence Of its oys.
ters, but those from Norfolk, in Virginia,
are certainly richer and more highly favor.

The Great Forger Huntington.

The New York Tribune, in noticing the
tral of the great forger, Huntington, who is
now on trial under tpenty seuen indictments,
says:
Huntington is about thirty five years Of
age. He is nearly six feet in height, rather
slender in his proportions, but possesses
restless, mercuriui organization. His fea.
lures ere sharp, ard his small bluck eyes
hive q sharp and penetrating GxprcSSion.-
He conccals badness ON his crown by
well made wig. His face is set off by side
whiskers and mustache. He dresses in
excellent taste, and altogether is man Of
prepossessing appearance. His face at the
pres ent time presents ca'cworn appear
ance, which mny be the result Of his con-
firement iE Jail.
! IIuntinnton, we understand was born and
reared in Geneva, Seneca county, in this
State. He came to New York some ten
years since, and subsequently engaged in
/ business us note broker He was in good
position with the business community until
1862, when he became involved in difficult
ties grow ing out Of his nnCction with one
! Of the fraudulent banks nominaly located
! in the District Of Columbia-the Farmers
! and Merchants Bank OF Georgetown-for
which he was arrested ard indicted. The
charge against him was that Of obtaining
MONEY under fulse pretences; but, ewing to
! the mpossblity Of obtaining conviction,
growing out OF defect in The law, the case
was never prosecuted, and is still pending.
Huntington resumed his business as note
broker-be:ng "middleman" between the
drawer of the note and the money lender
! the general manner Of conducting business
being for the broker to druw his own check
for the amount and deposit the paper as col
literal.
He was regarded as successful operator
in this line; and since the recent exposure
of his affairs and his arrest, many rumors
(for which there is probably more or less
foundation) have become current ol his high
ing, superbly furnished residence in
Twenty street, fne horses, costly
carriages and general extravagance-while
other statements ure made of his keeping up
u second establishment in the city, the truth
Of which, on account of the delcacy of the
matter, it is difficult to ascertain. Hnuting
ton was married several years since to Q
Miss Barry, of Buffalo. He has two chill
dren. In the midst OF his reverses, his wife
f clings to him with fond devotion, and the
, affection she bears with remarkable firm
ness and resolution: The aggregate amour
of the iorgeries which it is alleged he has
committed is over $500 O00-the paper pur
, porting mainly to be that of Phelps, Dodge
f g. Co, Waldo, Barry & Co., Arnold, Con
t stable g. Co., Ubsdell, Pierson g. Lake
Churles Scranton & Co., and others.

An Odd Prize.

Alta concert in Liverpool recently, among
the inducements for an audience, prize was
offered and drawn for, consisting of"a free
passage to America, and complete outfit
for the voyage" The lucky individual who
drew the prize, wus a warehouse man, aud
on his name being announced he was greet
ed with hearty cheers on his good luck, and
an additional guinea bestowed upon him on
his pledgng to abstain from intoxicating
liquors.
r. our contemporaries over the waters are
in want Of text to dilate upon, in relation
to this country, we do not see that they
could desire better one than the fact above
stated, which we find in Manchester pa
per. An opportunity to leave England ant
20 to the United States is offered as prize
in a lottery, and the man who wins the
chance for expartration is cheered for his
good luck. This is decidedly rather more
complimentary to America than to Eog
land.

Life in New York City.

The following New York correspon-
dcncc of the Boston Journal is too tue:
One oe our rich merchants-a man of
the fortune of ST. 100000, resident on the
Fifth avenue, connected with one Of the first
houses in New York-was carried yester.
day to the Insane Hospital. He is anoth-
er illus tration of what our city shows, in
many lamentable cases. of the danger Of
over attention to business. We keep a list
of the drunkards Who die, OF the suicides,
of deaths by railroad collisions and acci.
dents; but could the number of deaths and
the cases of insanity, growing out of the
"haste to be rich"-over taxing OF the
mind in the accumulation of wcalth--the
appalling number would startle and con.
vulse society. Intemperance has her thou
sands Of victims; but ayarice can count up
ter tens Of thousands. Probably no city
| in the world demands so much OF man
who has fortune, or means to make one
| as New York. All his time, brains, affec'
| tion and intenseness, must be laid on the
altar Of his idol A business man OF this
city must be almost a stranger to his OWE
home. He comes home late to dine, If he
don't dine down. town. He sees his chill
dren for moment or two in the day, if q
all. He would hardly know them in th'
street. His wife is all the day alo ne
Domestic life and comfort is a thing he
reads Of. His hope is, that when his for
tune is made, he will settle down at hom,
and enjoy domestic life. Bat to thrvin!
New Yorker, that time seldom comes
And failure, insanity, or early death, cut
off his hopes. He lives, eats, sleeps, work
and dies, on the run.
