KiIIn Hfmuelf.

ALIIA H4AAAnCAAs
A shocking tragedy occurred in the
town of Caledonia, Racine county, on
Wednesday night. A boy named John
Stitesky, the only son Of a respectable b.
hemian residing near the Chicago and Mil
waukie railroad track, in the northern part
Of Caledonia, Racine county, committed
n Of the most atrocious and o~old-blood-
ed acts of combined parricide and homi-
eide that has ever been recorded in the
annals of crime. The circumstances are
as follows:
The father, who was a farmer in excel
lent circumstances, had been laboring in
the woods during the day, and had come
in at nightfall for his supper. The meal
was prepared. and the mother called John,
who is an only son, about nineteen years
old, to come in to tea. The aged couple
sat down to their meal, thinking the boy
would presently join them, when suddenly
a shot was fred through the window-pane
of the room, and the farmer was struck
by q ball in the left arm, completely shat
tering it at the elbow. The mother start
ed up, and at the same instant another re-
port resounded, and she was struck in the
abdomen by a bullet, which passed COM
pletely through her body.
In another moment another discharge
was heard in the yard, and the father,
who, with parental instincts, OWNED the
natur and effect of this third shot, sum-
moned strength enough to get out of doors,
where he found his son weltering in his
blood and already gasping his last! He
had murdered both his aged parents with
the two barrels of the gun, and had shot
himself through the body with another
weapon, ending his life almost instantly.
We say murdered, for it is not probable
that either will recover, though both were
living when our informant left. The
has doubtless breathed her last ere
now. and it is considered doubtful whether
the father, who is over sixty years of age,
can survive his injuries and the shock of
his grief.
AS might be supposed, great consterna-
ton was spread through the neighborhood
by this appalling deed.
\ surgeon was Immediately summoned
from Racine, the nearest town, and the
wounds OF. the parents cared for as well as
4 Coroner's jury was also sum-
moned yesterday, which sat on the body
the boy, and whose verdict was in ac-
cordance with the fact as we have given
them.
As the reader has already surmised, the
boy, author Of this terrible tragedy, was
not sound in mind, although he has never
been noticeably insane. We conversed
with a neighbor who knows the family
we'll, and who assures US the boy had
never been crazy. He has, however,
under a mental alteration at in
though he has never been violent,
or been considered at all dangerous

A PERSON styling herself "Lady, "
Stanley. the wife of "Sir George 1sidor
Stanley" lately ~cowhided a waiter at the
Aspinwall Hotel, Panama, because he did
not uncork the champagne fast enough.
"Sir George" held him while "my lady"
was lashing him. The landlord, who
attempted o interfere, got their share OF
the punishment, until the lady relented,
declaring that she had now whipped the
proprietor and cowhided the walters to
her satisfaction. A crowd Of about one
hundred persons witnessed the perform
ance, and declared it the best they had
seen for many days. This party recently
arrived in Panama from Australia. Her
"ladyship" passes herself off as the daugh-
ter Of q Southern planter, and subse-
quently she confessed Portuguese nativity.
They purpose to visit the United States.

The NEW TELEoRAPH.-This is a mat
ter Of the greatest interest to our people,
as from the absence of competition and the
press of business, perhaps also from the
fact of our being at the end Of a branch
from the main line, our present Geographic
accommodations are entirely inadequate.
From the East we see that it has arrived
at Leavenworth and IS being extended TO
Atchison preparatory to starting across
the Plains by the Smoky Hill. Another
branch is reaching out from Wyandotte
toward Topeka. On the West, our ex-
changes say that the building of the line
has been contracted from San Francisco to
the Missouri by the agent, Mr.. Street.
]. ". Coleman, contractor between Viz
ginia and Austin, Reese River, agrees to
have it done by the LIST of January. From
Austin TO Schell Creek, Messrs. Griswold
& Woodward, of Ruby Valley, have re.
ceiyed the contract, and the poles are to
be forwarded by the LIST Of June, a dis
lance OF l54 miles. From Schell Creek to
Denver, (via Salt Lake City,) the con-
tract has been made with Brigham Young,
who agreed to have that section built by
lst of next August. From Denver to the
Missouri river, the contract has been given
to Jas. Creighton, Esq, over part Of which
line his own poles are stretched, so that,
we might say that a portion of the above
sub division is already made. From Fort
Kearney to Atchison and St. Louis, there
will be a divergent line by this company /;
and from Kearney to Omaha another to
connect with Chicago. Colorado Journal.

SKATNe.-The wind shifted to the south
late Wednesday night, and continued to
blow from that quarter yesterday, cruising
the frozen ground, dirty snow drifts in by
places, and the ice, to mistrust some thing.
Pedestrians found evidences of the thaw
on every hand, an skaters saw them t % their
sorrow- The surface of the ice on the
river was made soft''snd porous by the ac-
tion of sun and wind, and water flowed
over itin some places, but still yout hs and
maideus by the score were on the blades,
shooting hither and thither like, flung
knives, over the ice, below and above
Light House street bridge, yesterday after
noon. We have seldom seen livelia sight,
or q prettier. The exercise of Skating,
and the habit of the fair portion! of the
skaters, become the ladies exceedingly.
Clerks, who have some artistic sense and
knack under their exquisite hair, can
make articles look fine and temp.ting in
shop windows, but to see dry goOdl to the
best advantage, go to the skating park or
river, and behold them animated and
glancing over the ice in curves, and circles
SO beautiful as to make dizzy tlle heart

elor.

William Hea, jr., who was lately shot at
Bridgeport, Alabama, arrived in this city
yesterday, and the funeral services will
take place to-day at 2 o'clock, P. NJ, at St.

formerly lived in Cleveland, but about eight
years ago moved to Chicago. He enlisted

the Chicago Board of Trade Battery. The
deceased had one of those amiable and
social dispositions that makes friends of all.
None have moro completely enshrined
themselves in the hearts Of their associates
than he. He was a brave soldier, an affec-

noble young man. he had endeared him
self by strong ties to his many friends here,

AAOADEMY OF MUs1o.-A tremendous house
last night witnessed with unbounded admi-
ration and delight, the fifteenth exhibition
OF the beautiful spectacle of Aladdin. We
have not seen q better audience this season
at the Academy. After one has thoroughly
and repeatedly seen the beauty and novel
ty of tho representation, it still is interest
ing to be present and observe the enthusi-
asm and wonder of the spectators as they
gaze on scene after scene of the pageant,
growing wilder and wilder with delight as
it passes, until their attention is wholly ab-
sorbed, and they are ObliviOus to every
thing else but the uniqueness and beauty of
the Oriental scenery, costumes and customs
which are made to re-apPear before the
eye.
A farce or comedy Precedes each exhibi-
ton of Aladdin, in which Mr.. James Lewis
figures pre-eminent. We advise ali to go
and see Aladdin before the opportunity
shall have been lost.

The GREAT BEBBLLIoN ILLUsTRATED.-One

Mr.. Hagar returned to the schools about
three hundred dollars.

going off like hot cakes. Those who are
too late to get tickets for to-night's enter
tainment, will be favored with an Oppor-
