series OF years IreeZ5 the DlO0u OF COmmu-
aisy,, occurred - Immediate vicinity,
yesterday. From the evidence that We were
enabled hastily to gather, the circumstance
seems to be this: A German named Peter
Deisroth, about SO years Of age, living q
miles from this city, on the north Plank
Road, has for some time, without any appa-
rent reason, been jealous of his wife,
woman Of good character, popular and
respected among her neighbors. He has
also. for several years past, been subject to
occasional fits OF insanity, one Of the ebul-
ltions OF which 10 this suspicion Of the fair
fame Of his wife.
Yesterday morning at about IL o'clock,
the neighbours heard two reports Of gun,
but paid no attention to it, 40 they supposed
be was cleaning his gun for hunting, to which
sport he was much given. Late in the af-
ternoon sister of Mrs. Deisroth found both
Deisroth and his wife dead upon the Hoor.-
In the house were his two children, . boy Of
5 and . girl Of years OF ago. The boy
stated that his father came into the kitchen
with gun and shot his mother between her
breasts. She ran into another room and sat
down in chair, from (which she soon fell
dead. Deisroth then applied the other bar
rel Of the gun to his mouth and pulled the
trigger with bis foot, shooting himself dead.
The boy took the gun from the hands OF his
dead father, and awaited, amid the scene OF
blood, the advent Of help.
Coroner Weider, being sent for, repaired
to the spot and held m inquest, the verdict
being in accordance with the facts stated
above.
The circumstance Of so cool, sudden and
unprovoked deed OF murder admits OF no
CO Instruction save the influence Of absolute
insanity. Both the victims OF this horrible
tragedy, were very widely known among
our German population, and the occurrence
has cast gloom over our whole community !.

MASSACHUSETTS,.

The following amendment to the Constitu-
ton of Massachusetts, has just been adopted
by the people, on light vote but by a large
majority of the votes cast -
mo person Of foreign birth shall be entitled vote.
shall be eligible office, unless he shall have resided
within the Jurisdiction Of the United States for years
subsequent to his naturalization. and shall be otherwise
qualified according to the constitution and laws Of this
Commonwealth p0rded, that this amendment shall not
affect the rights which any person Of foreign birth pos
sessed at the time # adoption thereof and ordc9tur-
tler that shall not affect the rights Of any child ola
citizen Of the United States born during temporary
absence Of Il parent thcrcfrom.'
The discussion preceding this amendment
was addressed quite as much to the question
of political expediency as to the principle of
the thing Some Of the leading Republicans
(among them Senator Wilson, argued that
little would be gained by the amendment in
the purity of elections, while its adoption
would entail loss to the Republican party
elsewhere especially among the German pop
uation of the West should Republican
State like Massachusetts adopt the amend
mcnt. 1t was well, politically, that this view
should be expressed and well, too, that the
people Of Massachusetts, should act upon
their own responsibility and for her own
good. This question is one for each State to
determine. having reference to the character
and qualifications of its foreign born citizens.
In some States, where the German element
prevails, there is perhaps much more intelli-
genoe and independence, both religious and
political than in others where different races
are predominant. Certainly, in some of the
new Western States, the leading men of that
race take rank with the highest of any race,
and exercise as large an influence in the schools,
in society. and in the State Such are pre-
pared for citizenship; and real preparation,
rather than specific residence, is the best
test The people of Massachusetts believe
that their foreign population is not fit for cit
izenship without extra training and they
have right to pass judgment upon the ques-
ton. The people of other States may enter
tain different opinion as to their own and
then we trust that Massachusetts will be con
tent to let them act for themselves. mind
your own business is an excellent rule, as
well for States as individuals.

THn WAR 1N EuRoPE.
BY B.P WALTON =

&sstria claims that Iombardy and Venice
'are hers by conquest and treaty, and that to
preserve them. she must have such control
of the adjoining Italian States as will make
her own possessions safe from revolution
Therefore she has maintained apartial militia

Sardinia is an exception, is hostile to Austria
and in favor Of Independent constitutional
with Sardinia, at least against Austria, but
really would not object to have Italy herself.
Russia sympathizes with Sardinia and France,
partly to check Austria, but also to make
friends when she shall again attempt to carve
Turkey. England is favorable to liberal gov
ernments in Italy, but cares altogether more
not 20 have the power Of either Austria,
France or Russia too much enlarged. She
would rather balance them against each other,
and herself remain in Notwithstanding
money by manufactures and commerce, rather
than spending it in war She likes to fight
well enough, but only to preserve what she
has got, or to get more that will be worth hav-
ing.
The immediate parties to the war now seem
Go be Austria, Sardinia and Francc-the two
latter aided by some of the small Italian
States. But here are ample materials for a
terrible war, even if other nations do not join.
Austria has population exceeding forty
millions, and an army Of 1924 men,
france has population of thirty-six millions
and an army of about 500 900 mon. Sardinia
has population exceeding five millions, and
an army of about 80, 900 men. Austria thus
has one advantage in the strength ofits army,
and another great one in the fact that her
force is at hand for immediate use while
France has to take time to reach the ground.
All these governments have heavy debts, but
Austria much the heaviest--S $50, 600, 900.
Her policy will be to conquer at once, if she
can.

INTERESTING SURGICAL OPERA
TION.


We take the following account Of a surgi-
cal operation recently performed by Prof.
Sanborn, Of TIE Castloton Medical College,
from the Rutland Courier,
A case Of surgery has recently occurred in
this town, which has excited much interest
even beyond the parties Immediately concern
ed, and we have obtained the following par
ticulars of the operation, which seem to us
novel and interesting;
Mr.. j. II. Phelps, much respected cit-
zen of Rupert, in this State. had the misior-
tune about eighteen months since, to break
his arm in two places below the elbow. The
arm was set by physicians, but the broken
bones failed to unite at either break, and the
arm and hand became entirely useless. Some
months after the accident Mr.. p. in the hope
of relief, placed himself in hospital in
ncighborng city, and there underwent
ten severe operations for the purpose of
inducing union of the broken bones. but with
no effect. Under these circumstances. in
December last-nearly year after the acct
dcnt-Mr. Phelps applied to Prof Sanborn.
(of Castleton Medical College, who advised
and performed an operation which saved and
entirely restored the injured limb 1t con-
sisted in first cutting down and exposing the
broken ends of the Misunderstanding out the
grstly substance that had formed between

drilling holes through each broken piece
and lastly inserting sow sluer wire, and
twisting it tightly, so as to bring the fractured
parts together. Only one of the fractures
was thus treated at the first operation. At
the end Of six weeks, the bone operated on
had gro,on iogether, and the wire was removed.
After an interval of three weeks, the remain
ing fracture was treated in the same manner,
and in four weeks the bone was firmly united,
and the wire was removed. The cure is COM
pleto-the arm is as strong as eyer-and ev-
cry motion unimpaired, notwithstanding the
severity Of these operations. Mr.. Phelps

WASHINGTON, May -. lS59.-Though eff
forts have been made and countenanced by
various leaders to reconcile the differences
among the Democracy, the President refuses
to compromise with Douglas, except upon hui
initiating conditions, which must be rejected.
A movement is now making to unite the
North and South irrespective of the Admins
tration, with Hunter for President and Doug
las for Vice-President, giving the latter the
track for 1864. If Douglas will accedo, it is
supposed this combination can be easily
made.
In principle, Hunter is as Slavocratic as
Buchanan, and Douglas might just as well
sell himself to the one as to the other. He
lost his best chance for the Presidency when
he undertook to make up with the Sayocracy

FARMERS FAIRs-The old English fashion
of having set days in market towns, for the
sale of the horses, cattle, calves, and other
produce of the farmers, has just been adopted
in some parts of Massachusetts,, and quite
successfully. These are like to be permanent
institutions. The example is worth follow
ing in Vermont. If the farmers of town,
or several towns, will fix places and regular
days (say one in spring and the other in au-
tumn) for the sale especially of stock, then
those who wish to buy will meet those who
wish to sell, and from stock of every vari-
ETY. everybody can be suited. Moreover, when
the purchaser finds an animal to his fancy, he
will be quite likely to pay good price for il
probably a fancy price-to the content OF
both parties.

A SLAVE STATE on THE PACIFIC.


The Douglas organ of this city, of We'd
nosdoy evening, says:
1--WE are not advised Of the motives which
induced the Legislature of California to pro-
pose division of the State but We would
not be surprised it, after the separation, the
Slavery interest should establish itself in the
southern section of the Commonwealth. In
fact. the country offers most inviting field
to the profitable employment of slave labor,
and but for its arbitrary and unjust exclu-
sion from the Territory in the first instance,
we believe Southcrp institutions would have
Aourished in California with unparalleled vigor.
EVERY considcratlon-regard for the in
torests Of Slavery, for the due balance Of
power between the sections and the develop
ment of the industrial resources of the Union
suggests the policy of establishing South
ern institutions on the shores Of the Pacific
But we desire the result for another and more
particular reason. We wish to know posit-
lively and defnitiyely whether the Black Re-
publicans intend to forbid the introduction Of
another slave State F.; and 10 that end we would
have the issue presented, free of all squatter-
sovereignty distractions and other advcnti-
tious embarrassmonts The sooner this ques-
ton is decided the better for the South"
Here is another indication that, while Judge
Douglas is cndeayoring TO amuso the North
10y great show Of zeal for popular sover-
eighty and "non-interyention, so diluted
by an infusion Of the bred Scott doctrines as
to render them powerless, be is ready to favor
any practicable scheme for extending Slavery
in any direction.
We have all along had a strong suspicion
that the late movement in the California Leg
islature towards division of the State was
set on foot at the suggestion and nstigaton
of certain Slavery propogandists on this side
of the Rocky Mountains, with view to the
introduction Of Slavery into the southern de
vision If this could be accomplished, il
would be an important step towards extend
ing the institution over certain anticipated
acquisitions of contiguous territory Wash
