Baltimore is nearer to the West than New York
Baltimore is on the sea-board as well as New York;
but New York is made proportionately nearer to
the West by its being made proportionately less
expensive to get merchandise there, and this, ad-
ded to the other advantages of New York, must
keep her. as market, forever ahead of US if it lasts
Herharbor and her proximity to the sea constitute
the natural advantages of New York as a market.
Our greater proximity to the sources of agricultural
wealth and our central position our advantages

that is what we call discrimination against
Baltimore now; what has been sore injury TO US

HORRIBLE MURDER-A Son and Sister Killed.
Geo. Aldrich, convict, who had Just served out a
term of five years in the Virginia Penitentiary, for
killing man in Logan, left Richmond a few
days since, and on arriving at Logan county, found
that his family had moved across the river to War
field, Lawrence county, Va. Tie Kanawha Re
publican says: .r......... ....
He followed them. He murdered his sister in
the most shocking manner, literally cutting her to
pieces, taking out her heart and hacking it to
pieces, and then throwing the body into Sandy
river. The body of his son, lad of about Is years
old, was found in a by-place, nearly eaten up by
hogs-but was readily identified by a remarkable
scar, on one foot which had been preserved by the
shoe and stocking. The son was by wife who had
obtained divorce. After the preparation of these
horrd deeds, the fend, with his gun in hand, fled
to the woods, saying that he intended to kill his
father and mother and two other persons-and then
the people might take him, burn him at the stake,
or do what they pleased with him. The excited
people are after him. M

INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT TO PRESEN
CANDIDATES FOR THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
A paper has been shown us, signed by some sixty
of most respectable citizens and business men,
without, reference to party, setting forth the i'm
portance of presenting independent candidates for
the municipal offices to be filled by election next
October, and calling upon all who desire the per-
fecting of the work of reform in our city govern
ment, to sign call for a town meeting, to assem-
bic at early day, to select suitable person to be
supported as the peoples candidate for Mayor, and
to take steps to bring forward, in all the wards,
individuals fit to be trusted with the responsible
duties of the Councils. This paper will be pub
lished tomorrow, with the names attached, and is
the first public move in the right direction to rescue
the city of Baltimore from the partizan control
which has so deeply disgraced and injured it.

JULLIEN's EXTRAORDINARY DUEL WITH

certs in the Jardib 1@eat Paris. Zone OF
his musicians, who had been a fencing-master
in a regiment, had dispute with him, and
sent him a challenge. Jullien.asked week
to prepare for the duel, and his request was
granted. At the. end Of that time the en-
counter took place with swords and he re-
ceived a furious thrust, which ran him right
through the body, the hilt of the weapon ae-
tually resting upon the wound, and his an
tagonist having naturally let go his sword,
Julien rushed upon him, and in his turn
dealt him n desperate blow; after which,
having thus revenged himself, he remained
erect, with a sword sticking out of his back
Nobody daring to withdraw it, he himself
had the energy to pluck it from the wound.
1t had made itself a passage which, wonderful
to relate, interiered with none of the organs
essential to life, A month afterward Julien
had resumed his baton and his primrose
gloves aud, pallid and in elegiac attitudes, he
once more presided over those concerts to
which the fame of his adventure now at
tracted all Parisn r ~ .
