MURDER BY A MOTHER-The Lewis coun.

MURDER BY A MOTHER.-The Lewis coun.
ty IN. " Banner says;-The residence of
Rudolph Rohr, in the town of New Bremen,
was the scene of most horrid tragedy on Sa-
turday and Sunday last. The following are the
particulars as they were given at the coroner's
inquest: For several years past Mrs. Laura
Rohr, wife of Rudolph Rohr, was at times
partly deraDged, In consequence of religious
excitement ard dissatisfaction with her mar
riage relations. Early on Friday morning
she came to the hay field where her husband
was at work and informed him that the little
boy (rheir only child, about four years oId)
was missing. Mr.. Rohr replied that he would
go and look for him. she however, insisted on
his remaining al his work, saying she would
lind him. After half hour might have
elapsed, Mr. Rohr felt uneasy at the nou-ap-
pearance of neither mother or child. He re-
paired to The house, found it deserted and
locking the doors, Immediately commenced
searching the neighborhood, without success.
On returning TO his house he found one of the
doors open, and upon looking into the bed
room, his little boy lay upon the bed, dead
across his forehead, saying: "The child died
an easy death" The mother could not be
found. Some time after she made her appear
ance, looking very wild, and denying having
killed the child. She stated that while en-
gagged in praying with the child, he suddenly
died. SATURDAY night she with other persons
watched over the corpse of the child, appear
ing rational. About O'Clock Sunday morn
ing she left the house. Nothing was thought
of it at first, until MIR. Rohr's razor case was
discovered on the table, the razor being gone.
Search was Immediately made, and the un for
tunate woman found in the barn, with her
throat partly cut. She was alive, not having
injured any of the main arteries. Her wind
pipe was about two-tbirds cut through.

THR CHANGE IN GARIBALDI's MINISTRY
The European papers bring ms the causes OF
the recent change in Garibaidi's Ministry. 1t
appears to have originated in a popular COM
motion at Palermo, instigated by popular ora
tory declaiming against the Ministry, as per-
SONS who introduced disorder into every
branch of the public administration. AT
first Garibaldi refused to comply with their
demands, and rejected the names they sug-
gested as satisfactory TO them. This added
fury to the flames of popular feeling, and Ga
ribaldi yielded. The ministerial change has
given the greatest satisfaction to The public
All the memb bers of the new Cabinet are known
as honorable men, old Liberals, all beIonging z
to the national party. The people want the
immediate annexation Of this country to the
Constitutional Kingdom of Victor Emanuel.
Garibaldi, in his address, deemed it necessary
10 put OF this annexation, push on the con-
quests to Naples, and perhaps even Rome, and
then unite The whole South with the whole
North of Italy. The new ministry is in favor
of an immediate annexation, and subsequently
as many of the remaining provinces, one by
one, may be rescued from the enemy.

LONGEVITY OF BRITISH CELEBRITIEs-The
long duration of the lives of the present race
of British statesmen has been of late a sub
ject of frequent remark. There are several
who are nearly Octogenarians in the Houses OF
Parliament-Lords Palmerston and Brough-
am, and one, Lord Lyndhurst, who is on the
verge of ninety, besides others on the seats of
judgment-all with undimished vigor of in
tellect. But the catalogue of British longevi-
ty admits of considerable extension among the
notabilities of science as well as law and
legislation. letter to the Providence Jour
nal speaks in the following manner of the
members of the British Association for the ad :
yancement of Science in session recently at OK
ford:
In looking over the imposing assembly, 1
have beer struck with the large number of
we'll preserved, robust, elderly men present.
The physical constitution of Engiishmen
seems to embody larger amount of vital Ell =
ergy than we are accustomed 10 wltnes samoDg
our own countrymen. Professor Sedgewick,
of Cambridge, at the age of seyenty-six, pre-
sides for five or six hours in succession in the
geological section, and enters with zest in all
the debates. Sir Ben jamin Brodie, still older,
as judge, speaks with keen discrimination
and undiminished vigor. Dr. Hicks, the emi-
nent orientalist, equal in years to either,
warns into enthusiasm as he produces from
the clay slabs OF Ninevah, now deposited in
the British Museum, observations on the
planet Venus, made in the seventh century be-
fore Christ. While Sir David Brewster, want
ing one only of fourscore years, walks wi th an
elastic step, and almost every day presents d
paper upon some branch ofhis favorite science
of optics, in which he has long been eminent
for his experimental researches. And there
are but a Il w of the veterans in British science
who bring their contributions to this associa-
tion.

Firing a Honss.-An old woman named
Bridget Kane, was arraigned before the Mayor
yesterday morning, to answer the charge Of
setting fire to and attempting to burn the
house occupied by John Burns, on Byrd ST.,
near eth. The prisoner and her family are
very poor, and inhabit the cellar of the house
in which Burns lives. Officer Chalkley, by
whom the arrest was made, describes their
furniture as piles of straw scattered on the
damp ground, and supposes that the charge
was made to get rid of them, as they are nom
paying tenants. Mr. Burns and his wife tes-
titled that, on Sunday night last, one of the
piles OF straw was fired by some one and that
they saw no one about the premises but the
prisoner. The flames were readily extin-
guished by a bucket of water, and a conflagra-
tion prevented. There being no evidence to
show that the prisoner fired the furniture, she
was discharged.

free negro named John Freeman, made his ap.

charge of forging the name of VIM. II. Scott

passing the same as genuine. One of the Gepu.
~ constables had called on Scott to pay the
note, and as he denied knowing anything
about il, Freeman was arrested Before the
examination commenced, the Constable dis
covered that the endorsation was made by
VIM. Ii. Scott a white man, and the warrant
was therefore dismissed.
