y BISHOP RoBBED.-A Pittsburg
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
relates the following mishap which
befel Bishop O'Conner during his re,
cent visit to Mexico:
"Betwecn the Mexican capital and
Vera Cruz, the coach in which the Bis.
hop was riding was surrounded by rob.
bers, who demanded the money and
valuablcs of the passengers. On this
occasion, the Bishop, fortunately for
himself, had but eighteen dollars in his
possession, which he handed to the
highwaymen. AS the gentlemen Of
the road were about taking their de,
parture, the Bishop facetiously said
You have stripped me of my last cent
tomorrow morning I will need nv
breakfast, and will feel OBLIGED to
you for the loan of dollar The
money was at once given him, and the
robbers went on their way rejoicing at
their good fortune"

llOrrld Tragedy in North Carolina.

Fo"r Persons Beheaded by Mad
"'an.-Tho Wilmington On. CO. Jour-
al, of Wednesday, says: ....
"a most appalling tragedy was enact
cd IN this State, just after daylight on
the morning of yesterday, the 29th ult.,
resulting in the death of four persons.
The account as it has reached us, is,
that at the time already stated, Joshua
House killed his father, his wife, and
two OF his own small children, cutting
Oft their heads with an axe. His eldest
son ran over to the residence of Isaac
II. Powell, Esq.
There is every reason to believe that
he was insane at the time when he
committed the terrible deed for which
he has been arrested. The occurrence
took place some five miles from White
VILE, in the vicinity ofthe White Marsh.
The little boy who escaped, stated,
we believe, that Rouse killed the old
man in the yard with stick, and then
chopped off his head. He took the
old mans knife, and with that he killed
his own wife, and cut off her head
The children he killed with tho axe and
chopped off their heads. At White
vile, and when being carried to Jail,
Rouse said he had killed his wife because
she had tried to cut his throat two
years ago, and his father because he
had whlpt him severely when boy
lie had been in the insane asylum for
eighteen months preceding the affair,
with the exception of the last three or
four weeks. We hardly see how or
why he was set loose"
