Singular Tragedy in Michigan.

The Grand Rapids Eagle reports that
. murder and two suicides occurred I'M
der singular circumstances in the town
of Ensley Newaygo county, on the llth
inst. In the early part of the week two
men named jacob Dopp and Enos Mer-
RITZ called on a Mr.. White and wished to
borrow money, but were told by Dir.
White that he had none. On Friday, as
Mr.. White and his son were putting upa
well sweep, Merritt again appeared and
asked the young man to 60 with to dis
tant marsh and help fetch in a deer which
he had shot. The young man complied,
and not long after the elder White was
startled by the crack of rife, and
ball whizzed past his head, just grazing
his temple. He ran into the house and
loaded his rifle, and upon coming out saw
Merritt step out from behind tree and
raise his rifle, aiming it directly at him.
He cried murder" and again retreat
ed into the house, crying murder !" at
the top of his voice, until Merritt fed
White and his neighbors then started to
search for the young man, but were IN.
successful.
The next day Dopp and Merritt were
both found in an old house-the former
dead, shot by his own hand; the latter
but just alive, having taken strychnine.
From Merritt, before his death, however,
they learned enough to enable them to
find the body of young White, behind
log in the marsh spoken of. He had, it
appears, been shot by Dopp, who met
him and Merit at the entrance Of the
woods on the day previous and pretend
ed to conduct the young man to the dead
deer, while Merritt turned back. Dopp
and Merritt passed that night at the
house of John Osborne, and were OBJ
served to be very uneasy. They left
early in the morning, and were after
wards found as above stated. They were
noted characters. 1t is supposed they
believed White had money in his house
. and intended to murder the whole family
. TO get it, and that the young man wa:

GREAT FLOOD ON THE CONNECT
CUT. Springfield, March 21.-Heavy
rains on Friday and Saturday in the up
per Connecticut valley caused greater
flood on Saturday than that of last We'd
nesday The river here was over TWEEN
ty feet above low water mark on Sunday,
and over twenty-six feet at Hartford
The bridges at Charlestown and Wal
pole, N. H., were carried off. The SuIIi-
van Railroad bridge at Bellows Falls was
damaged and rendered impossible. The
flood is nearly as high as that of 1854,
which was the highest ever known. All
the lowlands and meadows 10 the valley
were overfowed, and many houses food
ed. The water is now recedlng.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, March p.
The treshet has been unusually severe
IN this region. Three large highway
bridges across the Connecticut river be-
tween here and Bellows Falls were car
rled off on Saturday. The Sullivan
Rallroad bridge at Bellows Falls was
considerably injured. Some slight de-
lay to trains has occurred on the Pas
sumpsie, Sullivan, and Northern Rail
roads but there probably will be no iur-
ther interruption 10 travel. The river .

e. The Charleston Is. c. Mercury,

Presidency, says, there are some TWEEN
ty Richmonds in the field, all challeng-
ing fate at the hands of the terrible black
Republican Richard of 1860" Its
Washington correspondent writes as fol-
lows
The great topic now discussed in po-
litical circles is the Presidential election.
Who will be run by the Democratic par
ty is problem, the solution of which is
no less difficult than squaring the circle.
Douglas is certainly past praying for
Hunter, who, notwithstanding his lapse
in the matter Of the free list in the tariff
of 81, to the paternity of which he is
entitled, is the choice of many of the
States Rights men in Congress. Though
cautions BY nature, and ready to concedt
to the utmost verge of principle to save
the party and the Union. he is a states
mana man of real ability and integri
ty. But Mr.. Hunter is thought to have
no chance for the nomination. Nor will
any other true States rights man reeeiv,
it. Neither JEFF. Davis Senator Brown
nor any other of the same way of think
ing and expressing themselves, may en-
: terrain such hopes. Secretary Cobb
Senator SlideIl, Vice President Breck
enridge, and Gov. Wise from the South
and Gen. Lane and Mr.. Dallas from tn
North, are amongst those whose name
are canyassed."

DREADFUL DEATH FROM HYDRO
PHoBIA.-Joseph Wright, of Cincinnati,
was bitten by his dog about six weeks
ago, but thought little of the circum-
stances, supposing the animal to be vici-
Gus rather than mad, and nothing occur
red to cause alarm until last Wednesday,
when he felt great deal of pain in the
arm bitten by the dog. The pain in
creased and a physician was sent for.
who gave him a lotion, but intimated tc
no one the danger of his patient. The
sequel is thus told by the Enquirer o.
the 10Th inst.
Wright's suffering increased, the
pam extending to almost every part o
his body, until Sunday morning, wher
he became raving mad, and his disease
was declared to be hydrophobia. H
raved at times, and tore his hair ant
flesh, and foamed at the mouth, ant
screamed like demon, presenting a sigh
terrible to behold. Il was necessary t
bind him to the bed to prevent him from
committing violence upon himself, an,
{ often, in his exquisite misery, he praye
to be killed at once and relieved of hi
5 agony. The sight of water, or the men
2 ton of the term, threw him into spasms
, and he fell trembling and groaning upo
{ the floor. Those who witnessed the poe

when Mr.. Davis had a very tough statement
to make to the jury he always shut no his

honesty of his heart and, in that respect.
