II A recent foreign arrival brought us the
intelligence that the great English millionaire,
MOrriscn, worth twenty millions of dollars had
died. The following extract from a letter ia
the Boston Post shows how little benefit he per-
mitted himself to receive from all his wealth :
Mr.. Morrison retired from active business
several years since, without withdrawing his
capital from the mercantile house, and though
managing his vast funds himself up 10 the time
Ot his death with all the sagacity Of earlier
days, he has for the last three wears been POS
sessed with the idea that he should come to
want More than two years ago he commenced
doing day labor upon farm held by one Of his
tenants, for which he received twelve shillings
u week, and this he continued up TO the time
vi his illness. For the last eighteen months he
has been a regular applicant for relief to the
parish assembling twice week with the town
paupers at the door Of the Union, and receiy-
ing with each one Of them bis two shillings and
a quarter loaf. His friends have INDUCED him
In these fanoies Oh the ground that it was the
best choice Of two evils. The truth is, money
was his god, and the idea became at last too
great for him and broke him down. And yet
he is said 10 have made u most judiciOus will,
and his investments up To the last are charac-
teriEed by great good sense. The probate duty
CI his will exceeds flO0 OOO.

FATHER MORRIS The eccentricities of
Old Parson Mills, of TOrringtOn, Connecticut
the - Father Morris Of Mrs Stoves sketches
have furnished many au amusing anecdote.
This, which we now relate, go far as we know,
was never printed:
In New England churches, il used to be, and
perhaps still Is, the custom to put up special
prayers for the sick of the congregation, and
written requests were made from the pulpit.
The Rev. Mr.. s., Of Warren, had an aged
mother whose days were almost numbered, and
who was extremely feeble and decrepid. On
one occasion he exchanged with Father Mills,
and requested the latter to converse with his
mother, and to ask the prayers of the church
and congregation in her behalf In her c6H-
versation with Mr.. Mills, the old lady expressed
her Willingness to die, declaring that she g de-
sired TO depart. In the services Of tho day,
the queer old preacher announced as follows
"The aged and venerable Mrs s., the mo-
ther of your pastor, requests the prayers OF
this congregation that she may die. The Rev.
Mr.. S. and his family unite with her request.

~ The way in which they do things out west
:" is caution to offenders. The eldest bro
ther of Miss Carter, son and daughter OfJudge
Carter living on Jersey Prairie, Illinois, finding
that she had been in jured by a wealthy young
man named Shelby, who had been paying at
tention to her, armed himself with revolver
and hOrsewhip, repaired to Shelby's house,
found him at dinner, and Immediately com
menced beating him violently about the head
and shoulders with the butt of the whip. Two
hired men, who was also sitting at table. at
tempted to assist their employer. but young
Carter kept them at bay with his pistol, until he
He then departed, threatening to shoot Shelby
like a dog If he ever met him in the neig gbOrhOOd
of his Garter 81 house. Here the matter rested
until Shelby had quite recovered from a serious
illness into which the fagclatiOn had thrown
him He gathered a set of young fellows, and
waited for young Carter, and when he passed
rushed out and unhorsed him before he could
have time to draw his revolver They took
him about two miles into g the timber, J"
where they had several gallons Of tar, a
sack of feathers, and bonfire, and after heat
ing the tar so hot as nearly to take the
skin OF, stripped their victim, completely
covered him with il, and rolled him in the
feathers giving him a thick coat from head
to foot Not satisfied with this, they tied him
upon his horse, facing the wrong way, tied his
clothing behind him, and then sent him oif,
Mazeppa like, upon the prairie, and about one
o clock in the morning. His horse took him
straight home, and he Was found, more dead than
| alive, at his fathers gate at daylight. The
authorities were informed, and went ut once to
Shelby'5 house to arrest him. but they found
the house lOcked up and deserted, every thing Of
value having been taken away.

ANOTHER MONSTER SHIP.-Already a larger
ship than the Leviathan has been projected in
EngIand-a ship to which the monster will, her
self, appear as a minnow. And this new mon
ster, though it is proposed to make her 5000 tons
larger than the Leviathan, is to sail faster and
draws less water. An engineer Of Liverpool,
named Clarke, has come forward with PROPOSE
tions for building an iron screw and paddle
steamship, by way of testing principle, greatly
the superior Of the Leviathan. His experiment
is to be tried ON a scale of startling magnitude,
and has already exhibited his models, which are
attracting the attention Of scientific men in En-
gland. He proposes to build ship 1000 feet in
length, 70 feet beam, and only 80 feet from deck
to keel, making her perfectly fat-bottomed,
and her sides nearly square. In size she would
be 80 900 tons, and yet 50 light would be her
draught Of water that she could easily enter

A remarkable case Of female precocity and
depravlty Is related in the following letter from
18th: wv
The usually dull routine of law business in
the Supreme Judicial Court of Carroll county,
was disturbed, ut the late session, by the pre-
sentation of two youthful criminals for capital
offences A lad, IA years Of age, named Joshua
Eaton, Jr, Of Sandwich was sent to the State
Prison for SIX years, for shooting young son
OF DIR. L. j. Swett Of the same town The
other case has rarely parallel in the records
OF crime girl, by the name Of Martha Ann
Mclntire, was charged with a double murder.
that Of a child of jeremiah HI. Whiting of Tam
worth, and also with causing the death, by
abortion, OF her own offspring, she being but
fourteen gears of age at the time of the com
mission of the crime, in August last.
The girl who is Of illegitimate parentage,
had been brought up in various families, and
was employed by Mr.. Whiting as a nurse for
his wife (sick in child d-bed) when as is sup
posed, she conceived the horrible idea of making
way with Mrs. Whiting infant and substitu.
ting her own The facts, as gathered from the
girls admissions and from the testimony Of
others, arc as follows: Mrs. Whiting laid down
with her child 90 days old on bed in the sit
ting room, about noon. After sleeping two
hours, OH awakening she saw Martha, through
an open door In the kitchen, in the act of un-
dressing as II for the purpose of going to bed
She immediately arose and assisted her, being
convinced from previous observation and the
appearance of the girl at the time, that she had
been brought to labor prematurely. 1t was not
until then that Mrs. W. discovered the absence
OF her own infant. search being instituted
the child was found in brook near by, with
heavy stick of wood placed across its neck
The girls account of the matter was, that
she took the infant from the bed, strangled it
to prevent its crying, placed it in the brook,
and afterwards gave birth to twins which she
buried in the woods. All this took place within
the space of two hours. No cOrpses were
found to corroborate the girls story, but the
fact that she passed through the pains of travail
is indisputable. This young fend was appa-
rently sane enough in some respects, but, with
regard to the prOprieties pertaining to the sex,
was almost on a level with the brute creation
While confined I'D Dover Jail. she received
every attention that kindness could suggest at
the hands of the ladies Of that city The Grand
Jury of Carroll county refused to find a bill
against her, and she was sent to the n. H. In
sane Asylum.
