wife Poisoning.

Clark B. Crooks, former and wel!-known
inmate OF the Ohio Penitentiary, wns arrest
ed in this city, charged with poisoning his
wife in Newark, Ohio, on Friday night
The circumstances, as we heard them relat.
ed, were, that Crooks had a quarrel with bis
wife about going 10 Pixies Peak-Crooks
wished her to 60 along with him and she re-
fused. He was intoxicated at the time, and,
procuring some strychnine, he forced open
her mouth and choked her until she had
swallowed enough to throw her into convuI-
sions. Crooks is a good looking man, in
the prime Of life, printer by trade, and Of
good parentage. Early In life he commenc.
ed his career OF crime. He was first con.
ticted in Green county, In June, 1851, and
sent to the penitentiary for two years, for
the crime of lnrceny. He was pardoned by
Governor Medill in May, 1862, through the
interposition and unwearied exertons Of his
worthy mother, for she still loved her erring
boy. In March, 1853, he was convicted OF
the crime of horse.stealing, in Sandusky
county, and again sent to the penitentiary
for three years. He served out his term.
and went to Pennsylvania, and, 10 July last,
married respectable young girl, who was
ignorant OF his true character, and has thus
early met an untimey end. Step by step
has Crooks proceeded in crime, until at last
he will, in all probability, end his headlong
career on the gallows.- Columbus Journal.

Death Of Robert Walsh.

This able and somewhat eminent man, for
many years the Paris correspondent Of the
New York Journal Of Commerce, died in the
former city on Monday, the 7th Of February.
We append from the Journa! of Commerce
sketch of the deceased writer:
Robert Walsh was born in the city Of
Baltimore, in the year 1874, and therefore
attained the age of seventy-6ve years,--en-
joying throughout an extraordinary degree
of mental and physical vigor. His father
was by birth an Irishman, bearing the same
name; his mother was of Quaker Pennsyl.
vania origin Fl early education was re-.
| ceived at the Catholic College in Baltimore
and the Jesuit College at Georgetown.--
Subsequently he went to Europe to com.
pete his siul'e returned, m:rri and CON.
menced the practice of law, but soon aband-
oncd this profession for literature. His lit
erary career may be said to have begun in
1903, when his "Letter on the Genius and
Disposition of the French Government, in
cluding view of the Taxation OF the French
EMPIRE" was received with much favor
Two years after, he commenced the pubi-
| Catlon oil the hrst quarterly attempted III
America, "The American Review OF
History and Politics" In 1921 Mr.. Walsh,
associated with VIM. Fry, established the
National Gazette, and continued in connec
ton with this newspaper fifteen years, con-
tributing essentially to eleyute the standard
of newspaper literature in the United States;
but at the end of this period he removed to
Paris, acceptably filing for q long time the
position Of United States Consul, and avail.
ing himself Of the facilities afforded by sup
plying regular foreign correspondence to the
National InteNigencer and New York Jour.
nal of Commerce. OF late years his cores
pondence has been exclusively with the pa
per last named, and has evnced knowledge
of the politics and literature of Europe such
as few have been able TO acquire" Re-

DcfaICatIOn-Whc here tic
Money is.

Mr.. Edgerton, one of the committee ep-
pointed to investigate the late defalcation in
the Treasury, has just returned from a visit
to Mr.. Breslin, in Canada, where he was
furnished with documents by which some
100000 will be saved to the State, if those
to whom it was loaned are able 10 pay it.
"Much political capital has been made by
the Republican press in reference to Bres.
Inns defalcation, and equally studious ef-
forts have been made to shield every man
of that party from censure, Notwithstanding
the fact that at least two prominent Repub.
lican leaders were deeper in the matter than
Breslin. To these gentleman it will be a
source Of profound annoyance when we
state the fact, which we have reason to be.
lieve to be true, that 100000 thus saved-il
saved it can be--has been for years in the
hands Of Republican leaders. not Demo-

The ProIire.1 6f CrImie.

A writer in a New York paper states that
In the winter of ls54-5, four voting clerks
used to meet for eucre- re-playing, alternately,
at their residences, in Brooklyn. These
meetings continued pleasantly for while,
the party keeping early hours, and no gamb-
ling being allowed. A yeur later the party
was not recognized, but met accidentally
on Christmas eve, at q rOffle, In Brooklyn.
The downward path was already entered up
on. The results sum up as follows: One
Of the young men is travelling in Europe, his
bondsmen having paid $4,000 for him, in
which sum he was in default at the bank
where he was employed. Another is in Sing
Sing prison for forgery. The third is Oscar
8. Field, the recent defautor in Brooklyn
and now wandering with the mark Of Cain
upon his brow, the murderer of his owr
peace, and the happiness OF his family. The
fourth communicates these facts, and con
cudes his story thus:
"And as the latter casts glance over tht
past, shudder creeps through his frame al
he thinks over the fate OF his companions
and thanks merciful Gsd that saved hin
from the abyss into which he had Olmos
plunged himself
There were other bank clerks among th'
party, and ere long their defalcations mus
come to light, for they have been possessed
of sums which they could not have come b.
honestly"

When do they tell the Truth

In the Congress preceding the present
one-two years ago-Mr. Grow, of Penn.
sylvania, Republican, in the capacity of
Chairman Of the Committee on Territories,
reported at that time that the Territory Of
Oregon had population of ninety thousand.
"1'hat is true-there is no mistake about it,"
said Republican editors all over the country;
but now the most of these same editors, be-.
cause the Democratic party has admitted the
Territory ss a State, assert positively, that
that State has not population Of forty seven
thousand. When are these politicians to be
believed

Suicide ut COIlANaCr.

We hear that Mr.. Frederick Jayred, OF
Collamer, committed suicide by hanging,
last night, Sunday. He wos found about
12 clock hanging in his wood shed, dead.
Mr.. Jayred was a man very much esteemed,
was about As years OF age, and had fami.
ly.
Business troubles weighed upon him, and
he had been very much harassed by some
rumors growing out OF note, on which was
the name of Mr.. Cady, the genuineness oil
which signature Mr.. G. denied. Mr.. j.
supposed this reflected upon his integrity
a1d no doubt under his pecuniury embarrass.
ments, and the attack upon good name, his
reason left him, and he committed tho act OIL
self.destruction.
Since writing the above we learn that Mr.
Jayred was a hard-workiDg, temperate man.
1t is said he attempted his life before by TAX
ing morphine, but took an over dose. He
went to bed last night Sunday as usual
but got up at eleven O'Clock, sat by the stove
few minutes and then went out doors. He
was gone longer than his wife thought ne
cessory, and on going to look for him saw
him hanging in the shed, dead.
It seems that MIR. Asa Cady signed note
some time since with Mr.. Jayred, but Mr.
Cady lately has said his name was not gen
uine. This worked upon Jayred and threw
him, in connection with pecuniary Difficult
ties, into low spirits. 1t ia believed by al
the neighborhood that Mr.. Cady's name il
genuine, and that he, being forgetfuI, mus
have forgotten that he signed it, Cleuslan

Adjournment of Congress.

Both branches OF Congress adjourned on
Thursday night, or rather Friday morning,
last, having been in uninterrupted session
for twenty-five hours. The closing scenes
are reported to have been very exciting
From the telegraphic reports it is almost
impossible TO tell what measures have been
passed and what have failed.
All the general appropriation bills that
passed both Houses have received the Pres
dents signature. The Post Office appro.
priation and Post-Route bills failed to be-
come laws. The former appropriated about
$20,000,C00. The miscellaneous appropria-
tion bills contain the section extending the
treasury note law for two years, and appro.
pirates $452.000 for the Coast Survey
which was agreed to with singular unanimi
~, besides appropriations for the Light
house establishments, the survey Of public
lands, and an appropriation for taking the
census, etc. The ocean mail steamers bill
was killed, but there is appended to the bill
to carry into effect the treaty with the Da
cotah and TonawaDda Indians and appro
Priations for complying with the existing
contracts for carrying the mails via Panum
and Tehuantepec and California.

A Pennsylvania Judge ON Di-
vOrce CaSeS,

In the Court of Common Pleas Of Pitts
burg, on Saturday, Judge M'Clure made
some well.timed remarks in regard to the
alarming increase of divorce cases. He
stated that applications of this character
have become SO numerous, of late, that he
felt constrained to soy that in no case would
decree of divorce be issued in future, un.
less upon the cIearest and strongest testi.
mony. Every week applications of this
kind were made to the Court, and week af-
ter week he went home with his pockets
filled with deposition which, from their char
acter. could not be produced before jury.
People were divorced in the morning and
married before night, in violation of all taste
and decency. This, the Judge continued, !,
ought not to be, and he sincerely hoped the
Legislature would pass stringent law, pro-
hibiting divorced parties from marrying again
within five years of the time Of their separ'
alton. He, in view of this state of things,
desired the public to know that no divorce
will be granted, except when the evidence
is of the strongest possible kind, and his
duty constrained him to grant it; and then
only after the most careful scrutiny and in.
vestigation.

The vote being a tie, Vice President

the bill was accordingly postponed. Sooner

pnrInk Fent nt NInRnrn.

One evening, couple Of weeks ego, two
persons were Engaged In earnest converse.
tion in the International Hotel, at Niagara.
One of them was q gentleman from the
South the other native Of Stonington,
Conn.,, named Andrew Greenleaf, well
known for his surprising feats on stills, but
who has adopted the name and country OF
Signor Gaspar Moreli. The Signor was
speaking of his various astonishing feats on
stills, to which the SoutheTner listened In
credulously, till at last Sgnor expressed his
conviction that he could cross Niagara river
on stills, between Goat Island and the Falls!
The Southerner offered q thousand dollars
to fifty on the issue, which, to the astonish-
ment Of all, was taken.
PunctualIy at the time named Morelli ap.
reared with q pair Of stills about twelve feet
long, made Of wrought iron, dat, sharp. edged
and ponted-shaped, in fact, almost precise.
ly like double-edged dagger. These were
firmly lashed to his legs, and he walked to-
wards the terrible river with a confident
smile. He stepped into the water which in
another moment was boiling, gurgling, and
rushing beneath his feet. The boldest OF
the lockers. on held his breath in suspense,
as tho daring man receded from the Shore
He alone seemed unmoved, and passed on
slowly and carefully. His steps at first were
very short and carefully made, but afterwards
became bolder and longer. The stilts, OF
course, were 80 placed that the current struck
only against their sharp edge, and produced
but little effect but the danger from sunken
rocks, and the conviction that single false
step would send him to death, produced a
| feeling that was horribly painful. Once or
twice he seemed to lose his balance, and
sickenng shudder ran through each one OF
the beho 1ders. Recovering himself, he still
kept on, still receded, until he could scarce
~ be distinguished from the foaming waters.
AS be approached the deepest and most
dangerous part Of his route the suspense be-
came more fearlully intense. No word was
spoken, except that one man offered another
five doll RS Tor moments use Of his lorg.
nette, which offer was passed unheeded. just
as Moreli reached the swiftest and deepest
portion of the current, he seemed to totter-
sink-he threw up his arms, but he was still
standing. A lew moments more, and he had
reached the Canadian bank-he was safe
and fell into the arms OF two men who were
waiting to receive him. He went to bed
where he received the congratulations o.
dozs ems Of visitors, who came pouring in
He left the American shore nine hundred
and sixty feet above the fall, and came ou
one thousand feet above the Canadian. Tht
money has already been handed over to him
aud ull will agree that it was fairly woo.

The New York Courier and Enquirer says
of Oregon -
"The Republicans who voted for tho ad-
mission Of Oregon need no defence. Time
and the result will be their eulogy. They
have assisted in bringing in a new State, a
free State, and one which is not only free
and will remain so, but which rejected slave
ry after long discussion and upon fair pop
ular vote. Had the Republican party effect
ed the exclusion of such State, it would
have had occasion deeply to regret it,"
Let it not be forgotten that, with two ex-
ceptions, the whole Massachusetts, delega.

and that, with these two exceptions, the
NEW ENGLAND MEMBERS VOTED AGAINST HER
ADMISSION IN SOLID PHALANx! Free Stat es
voting against the admission efa free State !
The Republican party, as a party, misrep.
resented the Constitution of Oregon, malign-
ed It's character, trampled on it's rights, and
had the party possessed the power, would
have kicked 1t with scorn from the doors OF
the Union. The unscrupulous organs Of the
party, with the New York Tribune at their
head, keep up the foul abuse on the noble
new State. Keep all this in remembrance!
