THE TORPEDO THAT DESTROYED THE CAIRO.
1t is stated in the Carlo QlD correspondence
of the New York Times that the inventor of
the torpedo which recently destroyed the
gunboat Cairo, in the Yazoo river, is rene
gade son of Massachusetts, named WINS
He was also the builder of the ram Arkan-
sas, which gave our western fleet so much
trouble. A number Of the torpedoes ar
ranged by this recreant Yankee for blowing
up our fleet were fished up without accident.
They were very simple, and consisted of a
common twelve gallon demijohn filled with
powder and placed upon the end of log OF
wood three feet in length. To the lower end
of this log was fastened an iron staple, in
which was tied the end of piece of strong
rope. An anchor attached to this rope held
the log under water, while the other end OF
the rope, after being passed through the eye
of the anchor, was fastned to stump ashore
In the neck of the demIohn was placed some
Illuminating powder; the end of wire wei
roughened was inserted in this, the whole
we'll waxed to keep it water-tight, and Their
the balance of this wire was extended jus
below the surface of the river and fastened
to something on the bank. Anything com
ing in contact with the wire would explode
the machine.

Two deaths have recently occurred in
Windham county, from disease pronounced
by the physicians to be diptheria in the lungs.
Its first symptoms is a numbness in the low
er extremities, and it makes rapid strides,
proving fatal in two or three days without
any signs of sore throat being visible.
Diphteria has prevailed quite extensively
of late in Woodstock. Adjutant General
Washburn has lost one child, barely saved

FOUND DEAD.-The Rutland Herald says
An Irish woman aged 80 or 40 years of age
by the name of Catharine Essler, was found
dead in her house, on the turnpike road,
in the eastern part of this village, on Thurs
day morning. She had evidently fallen from
her chair, near the stove, and expired without
a struggle. Justice Randall caused a jury t(
be summoned, who, after examining the body
and hearing the testimony, rendered yer
dict that the deceased came to her death BY
apop!exy, caused by the excessive use OF IN
toxicating liquors. She was a widow ant
leaves, We believe,.w 40 or three children,one o
them, aged about six years, being by her sld'
when found. A man by the name of Fitz
simmons was at the same time lying dea'
: drank IN the same room. IN examination q
? the body externally was made by DIR O.Cooi:
, No marks We're discovered. except Sigh
confusion upon the cheek, caused no doub
e by the fall from the chair.
