Terrible Tragedy at st. Louis.


The st. Louis papers, received last night,
give the particulars of shocking tragedy
in that city. The Missouri Democrat says ::
At eight o'clock yesterday morning. a
well known aud respectable young German,
named Henry Linhoff, called at the Office of
Justice P. W. tombstone, on Pine street.
and confessed that he had shot, and as he
believed, had killed DR.. Edward Van Der
Rookie, at the residence of the latter on
Fourth street.
The. Doctor was shot through the heart,
and died instantly. He had married sis
ter of his slayer, having already wife in
Germany. He and Linhoff had long con-
versation, after what he had done was dis
covered, at the close of which the shooting
took place.
The Doctor owned that he had wife in
Germany, but said he left her because she
was cripple. Linhoff conversed with
GOODNESS and candor; but when he re-
preached the Doctor for deceiving his L.'s)
sister, the Doctor replied that he also had
found himself deceived in her. AT this re-
mark, Linhoff drew his revolver and shot
the Doctor through the heart. The victim
started from his chair, clapped his hands to
his breast, fell, groaned once, and instantly
expired. The ball passed through both
venticles to the heart, from the left to the
right side.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH,

NEW YoRK. Dec. LIN

New YORK, Dec. I'm.
The steamer Washington, from Nicaragua,
has arrived at this port On the outward
passage she landed several passengers at
Port Royal. On the 10th ultimo she
arrived off San Juan.
The United States frigate Savannah,
sloop-of-war jamestown, and the British
Ships-of-war Ernard and Valorous were in
port. Sir George Ousley was on board the
latter vessel.
Col. Childs, the steamship company's
agent gave information that nothing had
been heard of the steamer Herman, and that
the government of Nicaragua refused to
permit the passengers by the Washington
to go through the country, alleging that
they were fillibusters.
The Catharine Maria had been sent up to
Grenada to obtain permission to land her
passengers in case the Herman should ar
rive at San Juan. The steamer Washington
was boarded by English officers from the
Valorous with side arms, and asked ques-
tons whether there were any arms on board,
and requested to see the passenger list
They were informed that the ship had been
boarded by the officers of the United States
frigate Savannah, who would give them all
necessary information regarding the charac-
ter of the vessel. The officers replied that
they were instructed to obtain such infor-
nation direct. They did not, however, in
sist on the papers being taken of, and left
suddenly. 4t
The same day the steamer Leopard went
in search of two hundred and fifty filibus-
tiers, whom it was reported the Washington
had landed the previous night. Our boat
could not get up to San Juan, owing to
low water, and had proceeded to the mouth
of the Colorado, where it arrived at day
light the next morning just in time to see
the officers of the Leopard. The boat was
chased by the Leopard with howitzers and
small arms, and having overtaken us,
but finding no filibusters on board, they
went back to their ship which returned to
Greytown.
On the 25th ult., the Roanoke arrived at
Greytown with information that the Her
mann had proceeded to San Francisco.
On the Gath Col. Childs returned from
Grenada without accomplishing any ar
rangement. The boat was not allowed to
pass without an officer and file of men on
board. The government however, became
fully satisfied that there were no fillibusters
on the Washington or Herman and was per-
mitted to land at Virgin Bay. 81
The agent of the company proceeded to
San Juan del Sur to look after the Her
man.
The U. S. sloop-of-war jamestown, sailed
on the Goth and arrived at Aspinwall on the
28th, in company with the steamer Moses
Taylor.
No orders having come for the Washing.
ton passengers to go forward by the mai
route they remained on board and returned
to New York, leaving Aspinwall on the
2lst ult.
Not case of sickness had occurred on
the Jameston.

San Juan

more buoyancy to the spirits and elasticity
to the mind than run of an hour or two
on a good pair of skates, over pond COW

steps to furnish ponds, where all may enjoy
themselves, who desire it. Boston Common
is the winter play ground for the Bostoni-

have formed beautiful pond in Central

amusement and exercise. Some of the finest
skaters are the ladies of the place. We
dare say the cold and exercise gives color

to shame all the cosmetics and paints of the
boudoir. Will not our ladies try the expert

covered with the fair ones of our city, re-

THE TENDER PASSION hackerays says
that-"When a man is in love with one
woman in a family, it is astonishing how
fond he becomes of every one connected
with it. He ingratiates himself with the
maids he is bland with the butler; he in
terests himself with the footman he runs
on errands for the daughters; he gives and
lends money to the young son at College !;
he pats little dogs, which he would kick
otherwise; he smiles at old stories, which
would make him break out in yawns were
they uttered by any one but papa; he drinks
sweet Port Wine, for which he would curse
the steward and the whole committee; go
in almost any direction out of the city, and
you can see them focking in from the for
est and the club; he bears even the most
cantankerous old maiden aunt; he beats
time when the darling little Fanny performs
her piece on the piano, and smiles when
wicked little Bobby upsets the coffee over
his shirt.

The contract for blankets and dry goods
for the Indian Department has, after long
controversy, been awarded to S. B. Critten-
den & Co, of New York. The controversy
was between them and Cronin, Hurxthall &
Deane, the old contractors.
1t was sought to rule out the former on
the ground that Crittenden Il Co.'s bid was
ambiguous and conditional, inasmuch as
after its specification of prices of such arti-
Gle, there were appended the words deduct
81 per cent discount. 1t is said the amount
of blankets and dry goods furnished during
last year was about 100000.

BGS~ The Randolph Journal says that tho
Treasurers Office of that county was entered
by burglars on Thursday night of last week,
and after failure to blow the lock off the
vault, the window outside was pried open
by cutting away the brick wall around it,
and the county funds ruthlessly hooked
There was just So so in the vault, one hun
dred coppers, and fifty three cent pieces. A
wretehedly bad speculation for the thieves,
for the wall was hard, and the night was
very rainy, dark and chilly, the journal
says, and more than all, the burglars didn' t
read the papers, for if they did, they would
have seen, from the size of the delinquent
list, that there was nothing in the Treasury
worth stealing. A new proof of the neces-
sity of reading the papers.

Heavy Robbery In New York.

Some adroit gentlemen of the burglarous
profession have been exercising their ingen-
uity at the store of Brown & McNamee, on
Broadway, corner of Pearl street The
amount of goods distracted as near as can
be estimated, amounts to some $4,000 in
value, the distracted goods comprising the
choicest uncut silks and velvets. The Sc
lection shows an exceedingly refined and
cultivated taste on the part of the managers
of the business. This morning, as one of
the clerks was taking look in the upper
story, he observed large hole cut through
the wall-a circumstance very suggestive of
something wrong. Further examination
developed the fact that the store had been
robbed of goods to the amount above NAM
ed. The hole in the wall cut through from
the upper room of the large tenant house adj
joining the rear of the store, in Pearl street
1t has been discovered that on Friday last
woman, giving the name of Mrs. Fisher,
hired the apartment on the upper floor, i'm
mediately adjoining, and paid a months
rent in advance. The occupants of the low
er stories observed several men, during Sat-
urday and Sunday, going into this ROOM
A large wardrobe with the back removed,
was placed in front of the hole to prevent
any unexpected visitors from observing the
work while in progress. A thick, heavy
mating was placed underneath to catch the
falling stones and deaden the sound. Hav-
ing made the hole through the wall, the
rest of the job was easily Effected rope
ladder and qnick and sharp inventory of
the stock being all that remained to be done.
The burglars did their work handsomely
There was no useless disarrangement OF
goods, or damage done to those that were
not taken. No clue has yet been obtained
of the thieves, but the police having the
matter in hand, feel confident of being on a
trail that will be likely to lead to the recov-
cry and detection of the culpable parties.

BIn A burglar entered the Post Office
