Horrible Tragedy.

A deed of iniquity has been committed
at Grass Valley, California, which exceeds
in atrocity any crime committed in that
country. Michael Brennan destroyed the
lives of his wife and three children and
then committed suicide. He went to Cal
ifornia some two years since as agent of the
Mount Hope mining company: and the
cause of his inhuman act was embarrass-
ment in his business matters, as will be seen
by the following statement of the affair by
lady of Grass Valley:
at is supposed that he did not tell his
wife that he had lost heavily, and was
deeply involved, more than ten minutes
before her death. As she was totally un-
acquainted with her husbands financial con-
dition, she knew nothing OF his embarrass
ment; and when he told her of his situa-
ton and what he meant to do himself, the
shock caused her to feel faint, and she laid
down on the sofa. At this time he hand
ed her glass of claret with the deadly
poison in it, which she drank, thinking it
was only wine, and that it would revive
her. A loaded pistol was on the table,
for use in case she had not drank the
wine. After drinking, she clenched her
hands and struggled some, when he put
the pillow over her face and smothered her:
then saturated piece of sugar with the
poison, and fed it to the child. When
the cook returned, he took bis eldest child,
girl. and administered the sugar to her.
He then called the boy, Bobby, into the
room, but be ran out crying "Ohl mann
ma" but the father followed him, calling
him his little man, took him up in his
arms, carried him back, gave him some SUI
oar and smothered him. The girl, who |
was preparing lunch in another room did |
not think anything unusual of his actions.
After killing the entire family, the father
secured all the doors and sat down to write, |
but hearing Martineau come, he stepped
out, and, holding the door in his hand,
told him the girls were at church, and that
they would not bother about lunch, but
have dinner at FIVE o'clock. He said Mrs.
Brennan was not well, and had laid down."
He then wrote several letters-took the
poison; and the whole family were soon
after found dead in the same room.

That wonderfuI pistol.

Capt. Travis has received the pistol with
which he proposed to shoot three oranges
from the head and hands of a living boy.
1t was manufactused BY Morgan James. Of
Utica, n Y. The barrel is 10 inches long
and made of cast steel. The bore is rifled,
and the size of the ball 12O to the pund.
1t has movable globe sights, and will shoot
with accuracy 200 yards. II is a very
graceful and beautifully y-proportioned wesp-
on, and was designed BY Capt. Travis him.
self. The Captain has ramrod with a
cavity in one end, in which he places GER
tain number of grains of powder, so as 10
carry the ball just as far and with Just the
force that is desired. He puts the powder
into the cavity, turns the muzzle of the pis-
tol downward, inserts the ramrod to the
breach, then reverses the barrel and draws
the nod, so rs to leave every grain of pow
der where it is wanted. With such care
full and scientific loading, the Captain feels
assured that he can hit the oranges on the
boys head and knock them off without
any danger Of injury, even if he were to
make false aim. We should rather, how
ever, have him shoot his oranges from a
post, or from cabbage head, than our own.

The Annual Conference of the
M. e. Church in New York.

The telegraph has told us something oi
the antiSlavery resolutions, before the an
nual Conference of the NJ. E. Church, as
sembled in New York on Friday last
Rev. DR.. Wheadon, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Slavery, rendered the report to
which were affixed the following resolu
tions: 1e
Resolyed, That we affirm the language
of our Church in 1874, namely, that the
practice of holding our fellow-creatures in
Slavery is contrary to the golden rule ol
God and the inahenable rights of mankind,
as well as the principles Of the American
Revolution; and we therefore deem it our
most hounden duty to take some effectual
method to extirpate this abomination from
among us. ,-.--.
Resolved, That it is the duty of our
Church as unit to educate her member
ship to the high standard of these her pri-
mitive doctrines, and to this end it is her
duty to inculcate them prudently but firm
ly through her organs, whether press or
pulpit.
Resolved, That, while We oppose Slave
ry as citizens and give our sympathy to
those who, in. the State, are maintaining
the cause of Freedom against the Slave
Power, we are especially the opponents of
oppression as a SIN, and the supporters of
emancipation as the requirement of right
eousness;; and we would, therefore, re-
member that our anti-siaveryism should be
deeply imbued with the spirit of the Holy
Gospel; that should wisely consult the hon
or and unity of our Church, in the full
faith that the highest good will be OBJ
tanned through the legitimate instrument
tality of her established Institutions. s-sa
Resolued, That we offer our unfeigued
thanks to almighty God, and tender our
cordial congratulations TO the friends of
humanity, for the rapid extention of the
principles of justice and Freedom during
the past year, as we'll as for the cheering
prospects of the extension of Free Institu-
tions in our country; and we cherish the
anticipation that, with proper effort in
maintaining and diffusiug light and truth
on the subject, all misunderstanding will
disappear, and the church will unite, as
with the heart of one man, upon the an
cient Wesleyan platform, and, as in the
great English emancipation struggle, Meth
odism will be unanimous and energetic in
the cause of Freedom.
After discussion, the vote on the first
resolution was 81 yeas to 10 nays.

A Monster and a Mon.trous Case.

On Sunday evening, a woman named
Zell, who lived in court running out of
Poplar street, near Third, gave birth to twin
children, which were connected together,
at the trunk, somewhat after the manner
of the Siamese twins. The child or child
rem died soon after its or their birth, and
the mother having intimated that the re-
mains were in the market for purchaser,
the attending physician offered thirty-five
dollars for them. He was oyerbid, howey-
er, by German woman, named Whilhel-
nina Apple, who pureaslled the curiosity
for the sum of fifty dollars, on account of
which she paid twenty five dollars, and took
charge of the remains which were carried
to lager beer saloon in the vicinity of Sec
ond street and Germantown road, where it
was placed in bottle of water, for public
exhibition. The father of the wonderful
freak of nature was not satisfied with this
disposition of the body. He thought it
was worth more money, alleging that it
would bring $500. He, therefore, watch
ed an early opportunity, and stole the prize
away from the lager beer saloon. This
created quite an excitement among the pat
rons of that establishment. Wihelmina,
having no disposition to be thus deprived
of her lawful property, procured warrant
from Alderman CLARK, and placed il in the
hands of constable Burns, who arrested Zell
whom Alderman Clark ordered to find bail
to answer at Court. Zell alleged that he
only wanted TO have the body decently in
tered, but the story goes that the remains
having been put in water instead Of spirits
were not in marketable condition, when
the husband finally got possession of them,
and he was unwillingly compelled to put
them under ground. The whole affair from
beginning to end is monstrous. - Phita.
