Horrible Tragedy--A Father and
Four Sons Quafrel--One of the
Sons Shot Twice by His Brother.

1t becomes our melancholy duty, as q
public journalist, to record . terrible
tragedy. which took place on last Sunday
morning, in Rush township, and about
three miles from Gnadenhutten. 1t APP
pears that a feud has existed for some
time in the family of Edward Saunders,
and that on last Sunday morning Mr..
Saunders and his wife met two of their
sons on the road-an alteration took
place between them, and two other sons
came to the aid of their parents, and be-
ing we'll armed they put their brothers to
flight, firing several shots at them IN sue
e~ession, it is said by the direction of the
father himself. Two of the bullets took
effect upon onsoof the boys-one striking
lew down in the calf of the leg and COM
ing out in front, below the knee; the 9TH
er struck high up in the thigh, but did
not pass entirely through. DR.. Tucker
extracted both balls. The wounds are
said to be serious, but not mortal. The
young man is lying in a helpless condi-
ton at a neighbours house, and will not,
probably, be able to be moved for some
time. The sons are all married but
The father and one of the sons have
been arrested-bat the one, whose shots
it is claimed took effect, is still at large.
The Grand Jury is investigating the
case, the result of which we shall be able
to announce next week.
We have never before been called upon
to chronicle a more disgraceful occur
renee. We do not know which of the
parties are most to blame-but presume
the facts will be developed from the evil
dence of Witnesses Tasearapas Chsoai-

There are LOO Fcnians in town and
500 United States regular soldiers. The
regulars and Fenians are fraternizing and
everything is quiet in the neighborhood.
A guard of U. S. troops have been
placed upon the station at Potsdam juno
ton to preserve order.
Gen. Meade is concentrating troops at
Ogdensburg, expecting a fight there. Gen.
Meade informed me this morning that he
would enforce the neutrality laws, provi-
ding that there was enough troops sent
him.
A Fenian reconnaissance will be sent
out tonight by Gen. Murphy, in the d.
%rection of Fort C%ovington, and it is pos
sible that a fight may take place. The
Fenians are willing for a fight, whether
they have artillery or not. Gen. Heufer-
man will command the scouting party.
The weather is terrible.
ARREST OF FENIANs
A New York special says: President
Roberts, Gen. Sweeney, and other promi.
nent Fenian leaders have been arrested
by the U. s. authorities. Large numbers
of Fenians are leaving the frontier fol
their homes. 1t is probable that the ex.
petition is at an end fer the present.
SUSPENSION OF FENIAN RECRUITING.
New YORK, June 9.-All recruiting
for Fenians in this city is suspended
President Roberts is at the Fenian head,
quarters to-day, but does no business. Al
officer is in attendance near him. NJ
further arrests have been made.

From New YOrk--NIeeting of the
Board OF Health,

New YORK, June AT the meeting
of the Metropolitan Board of Health
yesterday, President Schultz recently ap-
pointed to confer with the quarantine
commission and the Commissioners of
Emigration, reported that the joint COM
mission had sought everywhere a suita-
Bile spot whereon to land infected emf
grants who may arrive in cholera ships,
but the inhabitants of Long Island, Sta
ten Island and the New Jersey coast are
dangerously hostile, and will not. under
any circumstances, surrender an inch Of
their soil. Mr.. Berger remarked that
but for the merchants of New York the
last Legislature might have passed an act
enabling the Board to occupy a suitable
spot under the right of eminent domain.
DR.. Swinburne reported that more than
700 emigrauts are in detention at quaran-
tine, and that last week they attempted to
burn one Of the ships. He further added
the alarming statement that if another
cholera ship arrived to-day he could not
provide accommodations for her passen-
gers. Forty thousand three hundred EN-.
igrants arrived at this port during the
month of May. Three thousand seven
hundred, not counted above, came in the
cholera ships now lying In quarantine.
TwENTY-sIX NEW CASES OF CHOLERA.
Twenty-six new cases of cholera were
received on the hospital ship from the
steamer Peruvian, and there have been IL
deaths since last report. There are now
104 cases in hospital.
: The brig Bertha arrived to-day. She
lost two men ON the passage and had one
sick on board Of yellow fever. The sick
men remain on board the vessel there be-
ing no hospital for that disease.

HOSPITAL SHIP, June 1.
Cyrus Curtis, ESQ.,, President Commissioners
Quarantine:
DEAR SR: I herewith enclose report
for June /. We have about twenty new
cases from the Peruvian this morning and
as many yesterday. Cannot some pslce
be found for the we'll passengers on shore?
|Coney Island would bea good place;teats
could be used, and a guard could protect
the vicinity from exposure tozeholera-
Something must be done soon, or the
mortality among the passengers Of the
Peruvian will exceed that of any vessel
ever in this port. IF we had the Illinois
here, or some vessel to transfer the pas
sengers, it would be far better than to al
low them to remain on board.
The hospital is now much overcrowded;
every available space on the ship is occu-
pied with dead and dying. We have bu-
ried at Seguin's Point thirteen this NOR
ming, and from present appearances the
number will be increased this evening.
In great haste, yours respectfully
D. 81. BIssELL,
Deputy Health Officer.

HOW pcncon BroNnFelI.

In Sangamon county, Illinois, lived
Deacon Brown, very staid, dignttied
sort of Christian, and n perfect model
of propriety. Deacon Brown had the
misfortune to lose his wife, and at the
'age of forty found himself with for
tune of four small children, without a
mistress to his farm house. AS he
could not Immediately take another
wife and escape scandal, and could not
get along without some one to take
charge of the kitchen and nursery, he
had recourse to employ u young woman
as housemnid. Nancy Stearns was n
laughing, rompingA beauty, who de-
lighted in experimenting on the Dea-
con, by way of testing the strength OF
human nature; but ut last, in moment
of unguarded weakness, he was led
into temptation, into committing Il
slight indiscretion with his beautiful
housemaid. When, in his wonted cool
ness and presence of mind, he was hor-
rified at the enormity of hissin, in vain
he repented and grieved over lost vir-
tue. Finally, as last resort for easing
his conscience, at the conclusion of ser
vice on the following Sabbath morning,
he arose and requested the forbearance
of the brethren and sisters a few min
utes, when he electrified them by max
ing the following confession: "My Chris
tian friends, you all know that lost my
dear WIG some Ilule uHO lSOUS anu tSuAS ~
and that Nancy Stearns has been
keeping house for me; and you know
that 1 have n child not year old.
Well, TINT little child would cry in the
night, and it would be long time be-
fore could quiet ii; and last Tuesday
nfght-God forgive-the child cried so
hard that Nancy arose and came into
the room, and leaned over the bed TO
hush the child; and, brothers and sis
ters, her leaning over me made me
forget Christi Hereupon the worthy
deacon broke down entirely, and stood
weeping, wailing, and blowing his
nose, awhat did you dor" sternly
demanded the minister. "EI-ki-
kf-kissed her!" stammered the dea-
con, between his sobs; "but 1 have
been very sorry about it, and prayed to
be forgiven; and / want you to forgive
and pray for me, brothers and sisters.
As the deacon bowed himself upon his
seat, like the mighty oak before the
tornado, Deacon Goodfellow arose and
astonished the audience, still more by
saving: "Brothers and sisters, you
have heard what Brother Brown has
said, and now he wants our forgive
ness. For my own part, / think Broth
er Brown is truly penitent, and am
willing to forgive him with my whole
heart. And, brothers and sisters, /
will add still further, that if had no
wife, and a pretty girl like Nancy
Stearns should come TO my room ana
lean over me, I'd kiss her, and abide
the consequences.
