A WIFE SLAIN BY HER HUSBAND
A most distressing tragedy occurred last
Wednesday evening, near the village of
Reading, in Hamilton county, Ohio,
whereby Mrs. E. Showell was accidently
shot by her husband. The facts are
these: Mr.. and Mrs. s. were sitting in
the house-the wife reading to her hus-
band from newspaper. Suddenly their
attention was attracted to a noise that
proceeded from the ch cken-yard.-
Thinking that perhaps a thief was en-
gagged there, Mr.. Showell took his pistol
and proceeded thither. Not discovering
any thief, and the noise having ceased.
he fred his weapon in order to frighten
away any poacher who might be in the
vicinity. It so happened that Mrs. S. had
followed her husband, and CHANGED to be
in such position that the contest of the
pistol pierced her breast-=inficting a
mortal wound, from which, after suffer
ing great agony, she expired on Saturday
last. Before her death Mrs Showell ex-
onerated her husband from all blame in
the premises, declaring that twas through
a mere accident that she met her death,

This day, April 18th, is the anniversary
of the surrender of Fort Sumter to the
rebels and the day is to be signalized by
the formal elevation to its old position of
the identical flag then lowered at the COM
mand of traitors. The flag is to be run
up by the gallant General Anderson, who
commanded the fort at the time of the
surrender, and whose gallant conduct dur
ing the siege has won him imperishable
renOwn. The 18th of April, 1861, found
the most formidable rebellion on record
just inaugurated, and every thing looked
gloomy and discouraging-th 14th of
April, 1865, finds the rebellion gasping in
the last throes of dissolution, and the
prospects of the future so bright and
cheering as to cause every loyal heart in
the land to thrill with joy and overflow
with thankfulness to the Oliver of all
good.

Our dispatches announce this morning
the grand finale of the Richmond strug-
gle in the surrender of Gen. Lee and his
army. The conditions of the surrender
were dictated by Gen. Grant, and can
but be satisfactory to ALL The people
will read with satisfaction what they
heard last night with wild delight. The
special dispatch to, the Governor had
scarcely been read when the people re-
oeived the glad tidings.
Churches gave up their congregations,
hotels their occupants, and one grand,
loud, continued, shouting song told the
peoples joy. Cannon Numbered, bells
changed, bonfres blazed. A monster
crowd collected, and were addressed by
Gov. Brough, Hon. Octavius Waters. and
others. To attempt to tell of the good
things said, of the great things
done, would result in failure. Suffice it
to say, the Capital City, big with joy,
sends greeting to her sister cities of the

It would be folly to attempt to de-

everywhere throughout the loyal States
on receipt of the intelligence of the sur
render Of Lee and the army under his
immediate command. At all points the
announcement was received by the peo-
pie with the most extravagant outbursts
of exultation, and the scenes of wild ex-
citement and enthusiastic rejoicing which
followed, were such as were never before
witnessed in this country. The news
was most glorious, and the joy of the
people unbounded.

this day-being the anniversary of the
fall of Fort Sumter-be observed as a
day of thanksgiving to God. and of gen
eral rejoicing In accordance with this
request there will be grand and formal
celebrations of our late brilliant victo-
ries in most of the cities and large towns
of the State. In Columbus extensive ar
rangements have been made for the cele-
bration, which promises to be on a mag
nifcent scale. The programme for this
afternoon and evening comprises illumi-
nations, fireworks, professions, firing of
artillery, ringing of bells, speeches, songs,
etc. The day has also been set apart
for general rejoicing in Indiana, New
York, and several other States.

HE NEWS.

There is little need of lengthy details Of
news at present. The end Of the rebellion
is near at hand, and there are now none so
blind as to fail to see it, or so perverse as
to deny it.
The crushing blows dealt to Lees army
compelling him to abandon the rebel capi-
tai, were followed up with vigor and
skill that compelled the surrender of that
General and the remainder of his disor-
ganized and dispirited forces. Thus the
Army Of Northern Virginia is annihilated,
its great chieftain and his able subordi-
nate officers paroled prisoners of war, while
the rebel President and his Cabinet are
fugitives seeking safety by fight.
There is no late intelligence from the
forces under johnson. He viii doubtless
follow the example of Lee, or if he does
not worse fate will speedily befall him
self and his army To protract the con-
test now would not only be useless but
criminal, and there is but little likelihood
that there will be further serious resist
ance to the national authority.
Previous to the surrender of Lee, on the
9TH, Sheridan had overhauled the retreat
ing rebels, brought them to action and dis
astrously defeated them, capturing six
generals, several thousand prisoners, and
large quantities of arms, wagons, ETC.
This victory was followed by such dis
position of our forces as would have re-
suited in the capture or destruction of the
remnant of the rebel army, which was
prevented by the timely surrender.
Advices from Mobile show the opera
tions against that city to be progressing
satisfactorily, but up to date of last ad-
vices it had not been captured.
Our forces operating in the interior of
Alabama, are meeting with great success.
Montgomery and Selma are both reported
captured, and we have apparently authen-
tic reports of the defeat and surrender of
the forces under Forrest and Roddy, num-
bering 5000 men with all their arms and
supplies.
At last accounts JEFF. Davis and his Cabi-
net, with number of the rebel Congress
men were reported to have left Danville
for Charlotte, North Carolina It is not
at all probable they will find it place in
which they can safely tarry great length
of time.
From official documents dated April I'd,
found in the rebel Treasury Department
at Richmond, it appears the treasure of
the South Carolina, North Carolina and
Georgia Banks had been seized by the
rebel authorities, and was shipped from
Richmond on the morning of the Sd, in
two freight cars under charge of eleven
clerks detailed for the purpose. It is not
improbable that this treasure may yet fall
into our hands.
There are plenty Of rumors of peace
propositions coming from the rebels, but
nothing certain is known in reference to
them.
At last advices from New York gold
