From the Rochester Democrat, May 8.
Our readers are familiar with the gems
eral statement of facts relating to the
case Of George Pect, the hotel propric-
tor at the foot of Owasco Lake, Cayuga
County, who was arrested some months
since for the murder of his wife by POI
son, but broke Jail and escaped to Cana
da, where he was re-arrested not long
afterward. After the usual delay he
was delivered up by the Canadian au-
thorities, on the requisition of Gov.
Fenton, and on Thursday evening
reached this city in custody of two Of
Gcers named Sydney Mead and o. r.
Van Ettcn. A woman who has been
Peet's paramour arrived on the same
train. The party took rooms at the Wa
verly House. In the Office Peet recog-
nized and eonversed with a gentleman
named King, who is said to be his
brother-in-law, but who did not seem to
be particularly hattered by the prison.
er's notice Peet remarked that his
was hard case, and attributed his trou-
BILE to his family connections.
The officers, with their charge, took
the $50 train for Auburn yesterday
morning. The woman above referred
to accompanied them, and, as we are in
formed, was permitted TO hold quite a
long conversation with the prisoner, in
the course Of which he handed her his
watch and over fifty dollars in money.
After the train had passed Canandaigua,
Pcet asked permission to 60 into the
water closet, which was granted--his
custodians neglecting the precaution of
going with him. He did not returnand
at length his long scclusion excited at
tention, and one Of the officers went to
see what had become of him, When
the door was opened horrible sight
presented itself Thc,Aoor was covered
with blood, and Peet was discovered
with his throat cut from ear to ear. He
was already at the point of death and
lived but a few minutes longer. The
instrument with which he committed
self-destructiou was razor, which is
supposed 20 have been furnished him by
his female friend The body was taken
to Auburn.

Home.

Don't be afraid ofa little fun somes
times. Don't shut up your houses lest
the sun should fade your carpets, and
your heart, lest hearty laugh shake
down some of the rusty old cobwebs
there. II You want to ruin your sons,
let them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment mustb be left on the threshold
without, when they come at night
When once home is regarded as only
place to eat, drink and sleep in. work
begins that ends in the gambling houses
and reckless dissipation Young people
must have fun and relaxation some
where If they do not find it at their
osn hearth-stoncs, il will be sought at
other and, perhaps less profitable pla-
ccs. Therefore, Jet the fire burn bright
ly at night, and make the homestead
delightful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand. Don't
repress the buoyant spirits Of your chill
dren; half an hour OF merriment round
the lamp aud freight of home, blots
out the remembrance Of many a care aud
annoyance during the day, and the best
safeguard they can take with them into
the world is the unseen influence Of u
bright little domestic Grcsidc.

I;NcIfcIng SCenc.

On Saturday last, says Scotch pa.
per, while WoMewclrs Menagerio was
being exhibited at Stirling, D'Ayey, the
lion hunter, entered the den with the
performing group Of lions, when he was
placed in rather an alarming position by
ono of the lioncsses suddenly turning
round upon him aud seizing him by the
left leg. D'Ayey, with great presence
of mind, seized his rifle aud brought it
down with great force upon the lioncss'
head breaking the stock of the rife in
two but freeing himself from the grasp
of the lioness. At the next performance
the lion hunter again entered the den,
when the liouess Immediately few at
him second time. D'Aycy was well
prepared for her, being armed with n
heavy stick, when n severe struggle en-
sued as to who was TO be master, the
lioness repeatedly flying at D'Avey, aud
he meeting each charge and driving her
back, until she finally settled down in
corner, completely cowed and subdued.
The fight lasted several minutes, and
caused a good deal of excitement in the
managerie, which was dcnsely crowded
at the time D'Avey escaped with no
further injury than slight flesh wound
and torn dress.
