Remarkable Discovery of Crime.

A Hong Kong, China, correspondent
of the Boston Traveller relates an extra
ordinary discovery of a mysterious muir.
der. A Chinese boy, servant to Capt.
johnson, of the New York ship Mastiff.
was missed one morning in January, and
$3.50 belonging to the Captain was also
gone. 1t was supposed, therefore, that
he had absconded on a Chinese boat
which had been seen around the ship
The correspondent says:
One afternoon the Captain had occa-
sion to go ashore, and his own boat be-
ing engaged, he was obliged to procure
one of the Chinese, called a fast boat"
carrying a sail as well as using oars, and
large and heavy. When he returned
from the town, the sea was rough, and
the Chinese master of the boat being ig
norant of the accustomed way of ap,
preaching the ship, the boat was driven
by the wind and waves with great force
against the side of the ship, producing a
violent conclusion in the water as well
as in the ship. The effect of the dis
charge of cannon in raising dead bodies
from the water is we'll known, and such
was the effect of the conclusion of the
boat. Had the trump of the archangel
been heard in the ear of the Chinese boy,
hardly could he have sprung more sud.
denly from the deep where he lay The
mystery was cleared up suspicion gave
way to certainty, and now it was known
that the poor cabin boy had been MUIR
dered on board the American ship. But
had not the captain been obliged to hire
a Chinese on the occasion. and had not
the ignorance of the master caused the
violent dash of the boat against the side
of the ship, the secret might not have
been revealed till earth and sea alike
gave up the dead. How remarkable the
Providence! How much like the finger
of Godl
When the body came up, it was found
with a creased rope around the neck in
a moose, which had been drawn so tight,
that upon a post norton examination,
not a drop Of water was found in the
body. The body had died Of s~trangula-
ton and not by drowning. Besides this,
a piece of iron of about rs lbs. weight,
called a mormon" an appendage of ship
tackle, was fastened to the body by the
rope, that if the boy was not choked he
might be drowned and whether clicked
or drowned, or both, that he might tell
no secrets. Nor was this enough, the
head bore marks of violent confusion,
and evidently it had been attempted to
kill the boy by blows, and instantly, as
we'll as by strang.ing.
Finally three men were suspected and
arrested, but denied the crime. One,
however, turned State S evidence and
charged the other two with the murder +;
he also told where the money was hidden.
Doubt as to the suficiency of the evidence
was entertained, but one night the jailor
overhead the men accusing each other,
and thus giving all the details of the
crime. On this accidentally procured
evidence all was convicted, and sentenced
to be hung.

Death of a Familiar Character.

On Tuesday night, at his stone house
on the Bloomfield Turnpike, in the 18th
Ward, died William Patterson, aged
about 80 years. a native ofScotland famil-
iarly known as the Swamp Miser." For
years it had been the habit of all pass
ing his neglected and cherries dwelli ig,
to point out to companions and stran
gers the residence of the miser, and
many curious incidents are mentioned as
having occurred in his life. He died as
he had lived, talking of interest and
gain-and surrounded by nothing con.
ductive to comfort except such things as
had been furnished in his last hours by
kind neighbors. He would have no doc
tor, though one was procured against his
will, who was asked by the dying man
how much he was going to charge for
the visit, saying he would rather spend
the money for something else. Neither
would ne have a clergyman saying he
believed none of their doctr mes. His
belief was peculiar. After a certain
number Of years he expects to return to
this world a young man, and he had
amassed his property with a view
to that event, expecting to receive it
again with interest, when he returns.-
Two nephews, it is said, are hisaheirs,
and will come in for a large FUN. 1t is
said by some persons that he has a wife
and child, who were driven from his
presence years ago, and who he would
never consent to see. The house in which
he. lived or the east bank of the canal,
is q low some building, and the furniture
OF his room consisted of three chairs and
three chests, one Of the chairs and one of
the chests made his bedstead, and he lay
upon them without covering, seldom un
dressing himself, aid always seen, stand
ing, sitting or laying with his hat on his
head.-Newark MercurV.
