TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK.

The New York papers give accounts OF a
tragedy which occurred in Prince street in
that city on Wednesday night, the murderer
being an Irshman named Jerry 0'Brien, and
his victim Miss Kate Smith, from PrOv-
dence, aged twenty-o years. The cause
of the assault was jealousy, O'Brien ON his
return from the invasion of Canada finding
himself discarded lover He sought not,
however, to wreak his vengeance upon the
man who brought upon him his woe, but
upon the unfortunate victim of his passion,
whom he had no money to support. On
Saturday night week he met her upon
the street, and assaulted her with a club or
knife with the intention of killing her But
in this he was thwarted by the timely inter
ference of the police, by whom he was AZ
rested The girl made charge against him
of assault and battery, which was to have
been tried last Tuesday, but she failed to ap-
pear against him, The particulars of the
tragedy are thus described:
In the vicinity of the scene of the tragedy
is fish market. The monstrous knives
that fishmongers have for hacking to pieces
their merchandise are well known to every
body, BY some means or other-how, it is
profound mystery nOw-o' 'Brien got pos.
session of one of those knives 1t is fright.
full thing TO look at when one thinks of its
being plunged into human flesh, and of its
dripping with human gore. Armed with
this knife, O'Brien was prepared for hi:
work. The next step was to get at his vic.
tim. He has a means ready at hand and q
tool ready to do his bidding. The means
was a letter, the tool a thief who was to con
vey it to her. He took it and went to the
house, rang the basement bell; and sent.ur
the letter. All that it was desired to know
was found out. Miss Smith was in. O'Brier
has a night key. Unknown to any one he
sneaks up stairs with his huge knife con
cealed in his clothing He opens the dool
to the little attic room where she slept, and
found her at her toilette. Soon there wer,

To FENCE AGAINST FLooDs.-Take two
short, heavy posts, say three feet long, set
into the ground and extending above some
ten or twelve inches. A pole six inches in
diameter, and of sufficient length to span
the stream, or if for a meadow, twelve to
fourteen feet long, forms the bottom rail Of
the fence. This should be cut fat on one
side and the ends rounded down to about
two inches, so as to fit into corresponding
holes in the aforementioned posts about
six inches from the ground. Aboard, or flat
rail the length of the panel, forms the TOP
rail, and to this and to the fattened side ol
the pole, are to be nailed the uprights at a
distance proper to oppose the stock intended
to pasture on the land-these to be nailed on
the upstream side, The panel is now made
and is to be fixed upright by forcing the
lower or downstream side with poles sci
slantingly for the purpose, and abutting
against the top rail of the panel to which
this should be nailed. When during @
freshet the water presses against the fence
the props give way and the panel falls down
with the ends or edges of the boards present
ed to the line of the current and offer but
little resistance to it. When the storm OF
flood is over, all that is necessary is to go tc
work, and after raising it up, prop it at
before, and it is as good as eyer. We have
seen this fence and were told thatit answers
all the purposes desired.

SoNAMBULIsM.-We know of well au-
thenticated and curious case Of sonambulism
which happened in town not far from New
York, last week. A young lady came over
TO the city and went with her uncle and
aunt to spend the day in Central Park. On
the way they had talk with the conductor
of one of the cars near the Astor House, as
to which route they should take to the Park.
The discussion seems to have impressed
itself on the young lady's mind, for the fol-
lowing morning she rose, dressed herself,
put money in her purse, went to the station,
bought ticket and return ticket for New
York city, twelve miles distant, came into
Hoboken on the cars, crossed the ferry, and
was talking to a conductor near the Astor
House, when-she awokei She Immediately
took return train for home and her arrival
an hour after, much relieved her friends, who
were searching for her in the town
Sonambulism seems TO be epidemic in
that place, for we hear of another quasi case
on Friday night, as follows:-A gentleman
residing there and doing business in New
York city, has little son who is given to
sleep-walking expeditions now and then
about the house. On the night in question
the gentleman awoke, saw something
white " moving about the room, and told
his wife, there's c.; he is walking in his
sleep again" He got out of bed to wake
c., when the something white " moved
rapidly towards the window and out to the
great alarm of the gentleman, who thought
his son had jumped out of the window in
the sonambulic state. Meanwhile the mother
visited the nursery and found her boy safely
and soundly sleeping in bed. The gentle
man returned from his frantic rush to the
window, where, by-the-by, he saw some
thing white" get into wagon and drive
rapidly away, to find that his pantaloons
pockets were minus pocket-book containing
few autographs of F. E. Spinner and a
check for one hundred and fifty dollars,-N.
T. World.

wrung from heart tremulous with fear and
wild with despair. They went to the room.
The poor girl was upon her knees before the
monster, begging for her life. "Don'tl DON'T
am bad girl. You know am not fit to
die For Gods sake, don't kill mel" Such
were her words. Here half a dozen voices
broke in, run, Kate, rum run for your
life!" Quick as startled fawn Kate sprang
to her feet, eluded her foe, bounded out of
the door, fed down the first staircase, and
was about to go down the next, when the
fiend by sudden leap overlook her, plunged
the great knife into her back so that 1t ap-
peared at the breast bone, and she fell head
long upon the landing, and almost instantly
expired. The murderer then made feint
Of cutting his throat, but was subsequently
arrested and committed.

CATERPILLARs.-A correspondent of the
Farmer, (Richmond, Virginia referring to
the riddance of caterpillars witnessed by
him says:-''A friend of mine, year or so
since, discovered by accident while boiling
coal tar, that the boiling, or burning Of i
under trees infested with caterpillars, would
kill the last one of them. The trees near
the boiling or burning tar, q saw them my
self were literally covered with caterpillars,
and every one fell and died under the trees,
If the tar be put into long-handled frying
pan, and set on fire, it could be carried from
tree to tree, and kept under each tree until
the desired end is accomplished This hint
to fruit-growers should be sufficient.
