Remarkable Case Of Crime

The LOckPOrt Journal gives currency to a
very remarkable case of murder, alleged to
have occurred at Hanover, N. Y, last week.
It seems incredible even in this age of extra
ordinary crimes. The Journal states that
respectable tradeswoman went to tho police,
and telling them that she had murdered her
brother, desired to be taken into custody. The
police went to her house, and found the dead
body of her brother,whose name was Rasel, lying
in one Of the rooms with his throat cut. The
woman said that her brother had been very
intemperate, but that she had allowed him to
live with her gratis, on the strength Of a sol
emn promise that he would abstain from drink
for the future. This promise he had not kept,
and the night before he had returned home so
drunk that he had fallen asleep on the floor
lrritated at his shameful conduct, she cut his
throat. The police, thinking the woman in
sane, had her examined by medical men, but no
indication of lunacy could be discovered. 1t
turned out that she had committed the murder
in the presence of her two children, aged ten
and twelve, and that before giving herself into
custody, she made her will

THR On SPRINGS We we're visited on
Friday, by Mr.. BOnnel, of the firm of Bonnel,
Jordan d Wood, who we mentioned last week,
had been drilling for oil on Mr. Jefrey's land
in Mecca, and he informed Us that on Thursday,
when the drilling had reached to about the
depth of s5 feet the drill drOped some two feet,
end the water in the well began to run down
through the hole made by the drill, with loud
roaring noise, and in few moments the water
had entirely disappeared. The drill was then
drawn up, a cloth attached to the end, and
lowered to the bottom, and when drawn up it
was found to be saturated with oil. This was
wrunP out OF the cloth, and about half a pint
was brought to our Office for inspection. Messrs.
Bonnell 4 Co., will at once proceed to set an
engine at work and in the course of two OF
three weeks, will commence pumping. They
are experienced men in the oil business, and
they are firm in the belief that their location is
fully equal to any in Western Pennsylvania.
We have since learned that Messrs. An
drew Andrews g. Jacob Messersmith of Vienna
were the first 10 procure leases in the sup
posediOn district and that they have the con-
troll Of the oil rights-of some two thousand
acres Of land. They will be in operation very
soon if they are not already. Messrs Strain
& Forward, from BrOokfeld. in this County,
are also at work about one mile south Of
Powers Corners. They inform US that on
Friday, they struck o vein Of oil, at the depth
of some twenty-five feet from the surface, and
on Saturday, another, few feet below. They
will drill still deeper hoping to find q strong
er vein. They have leased some twelve hun.
dred acres, part north, and part south Of
the corners.
We are informed that several other com
panies. whose names we have not learned
will be at work in q few days.-Warre'

The Hong Kong correspondent of the New

rats, puppies, and other game are prepared for
Celestial epicures. He writes;
Being recently in Canton, after exploring
other points of interest, I paid a visit to Rat
street, which derives its name from the many
restaurants in which nothing but rats are served
up, and the many shops where rats only are
sold They were exposed for sale in every
style-alive, dried, smoked, etc, and the shop

In the House, Feb. 29th, Mr.. Brown moved
that the rules be suspended to take from the
table the motion to reconsider the vote rela-
tive to adjournment, and gave notice that he
regarded the vote as test vote and called the
yeas and nays, and the House reiused-yeas
80, nays so.
The following interesting table shows the
length Of legislative sessions for the last nine
teen years. There has been only one General
Assembly under the new Constitution which
provides for biennial sessions, which has not
held an adjourned session. When the people
want annual sessions they will so vote. They
have twice refused to change the biennial
session provision Ofthe Constitution, and would
vote fifty to one against an adjourned session
at this time were the question submitted to
the popular voice.

Mexican Affairs.

Intelligence was received in Washington
from Mexico, brought by the Tennessee's
mail. The liberals are progressing in Gaia
ca, Colima and Moralia. General Marquee
had been confined in the palace at the city
of Mexico, and difficulty was apprehended
on Miramon's return to the capitol. The
British bondholders are indignant at the
consumation of the new treaty. Degellado,
Gomez Forbes and others, had arrived at
Vera Cruz from Tampico, and are loud in
their demands for material aid from the
United States.
There is no doubt that Minister McLane
has been instructed to use his efforts with
the constitutional Government of Mexico to
obtain for the Louisiana Company modifica-
tions of its contract for the construction of
a railroad over the Isthmus Of Tehauntepec.
Messrs. Benjamin and Lasere certainly con-
temple visit to Vera Cruz in the event of
the ratification of the treaty to further the
interests of the company.

Steam Fire Engines vs. Hand Engines
The New York Journal of Commerce is
loud in its praises of its steam over the hand
engines, and says of the Beekman street
fire
When every hand engine was clogged with
ice, and the firemen we're so stiff with cold
that they could hardly clasp their fingers on
the brakes, the steam appar atus worked on
without cessation and with undiminished
power. Although every engine in the sew
enth and eighth districts was on the ground,
it is not too much to say that the Mag ara
and Manhattan did as much aseful work as
all Of them put together. Towards the close
of the fire, when the hand engines had Civ
en- out, the well directed streams of the
steam apparatus saved block of bull dings
in Fulton street which would otherwise
have been consumed"
