Tag NEW YORK TRAGEDY.-Last week we
published a brief account of a horrid tragedy
in New York, in which a young man iniic-
ted dangerous wounds, with a Ratchet, upon
the person of his father, mother, two little
brothers and two servant girls in the family,
and finally blew his own brains out with a
pistol. 1t was expected that several Of the
victims of his wrath, if not all of them. would
die but at the latest dates all were still a.
live and though in a very critical condition,
they are apparently improving. 1t is said
that should they recover, it will be almost
miraculous.
The perpetrator of these horrid deeds AZ
a yonng man only 10 years old-bnt youth.
ful as lie was, Of very ~diSsipated habits
Though said to be sober at the tiuIe when be
committed this indiscriminate slaughter upon
his fathers household, he must have beer
temporarily insane-rendered so by the u
quor-fend that had fired his brain and EN-
Uttered his heart so intensely, against hi,
best friends.
What a warning to young men who par
take of that cup which has caused a mer
youth to imhrue his hands in the blood O
father, mother, infant brothers, and inall,
to a k his own life! But will men be warn
ed by it? Alas how many who gazed on thi
tragic scene, and many more who read &C
counts of it, will turn away to the bottle an,
drink, though they know they run the risl
of being themselves overthrown by its mad
dening influence.

PromIse ava performance.

There is always worldwide difference between
the promises Of the Democrats during CANVASS, and
the performances after an election is over. For ex.
ample, as a contemporary observes
Mr. Bnehanans persistent demands for "more
money! do not sound much like bis promised IRE.
trenchment." But it Is always the way with Demo-
cratic Presidents Mr. Van Baren; when he came in
found OHr annual expenses seventeen millions, and
almost doubled them before he went ont Mr. Polk
found them twenty-five millions, and he doubled
them. Gen Pierce found them forty millions, and
he very nearly doubled them. Mr. Buchanan, prob
ably is only trying 70 see whether he cannot double
them again
All very true, but that is the 'way of the world'
in this country. Our people SO dearly love to be hum
bugged that we verify believe they would turn any
party out of power which obtained power on the
faith Of promises Of economy and Ietrenchment oi
public expenses, and then practfced in accordance
with their professions The strangeness Of such
practices would astonish did not drives people
into commissions produced BY downright disgust
This is "a great country" and Buncombeu ID The
principal sustenance OF our political being.
However, our people, Notwithstanding their par
tiality for humbuggery, don't like to lose too ucl
by it, They are prepared to pay iberally but not Il
the verge Of bankruptcy. They are willing to let tht
income go, but when It comes to mortgaging thei
estates, they become reative, turbulent, Obstinate
and will upset the governmental wagon before the
will submit to it. Now, if Mr. Buchanan goes on tht
way he has commenced, the probabilities are that h
will entail upon the general estate Of the nation, a
the close of his administration debt Of four or iy
hundred millions Of dollars Considering that he ha
some twenty-five millions surplus to begin with, hi
prodigious capacity for spending money win proab
arrest the attention. if it does not arouse the fndigna
tton, Of the Taxpayers. But, nous perrons, as oil
Father Ritchie used to say.

A PET MoLE-Being very desrous of watching
the mole in its living state, directed professional
catcher to procure one alive if possible; and after
awhile the animal was produced, At first there was
some difficulty in finding proper place in WHICH To-

was surmounted by procuring tub and filling it hal
full of EARTH In this tub the mole was placed and
instantly sank below the surface OF the eafth It was
fed by placing large quantities of earth.WorIns or
grubs In the cask and the number of worms that
this single mole deVonred was quite surprising. As
far as regards actual inspection, this arrangement
was useless for the mole never would show ITSELF
and when it was wanted for observation ii had to be
dug mp, But many opportunities for investigating
its manners were afforded by taking it from its tub,
and letting it run hard surface such as gravel
walk. There it used to run with some speed, CON
tinuay grabbing with It's long and powerful snout,
trying to discover spot sufficiently soft for tannel
