SHOCKING CRIME IN NEW YORK.
An Infant Roasted Alive.

We hear from private sources of a crime COM
mitted in this city some twenty days since,
almost too horrible TO record, and presenting
one of the numerous phases OF infanticids SO
common in New York and vicinity. About Md
night a welldresscd man drove in carriage to
the rooms of professed midwile-(we give no
names at present, as we understand the facts
have been communicated to a Catholic priest.
and brought before the police)-and per-
suaded the woman TO go with him to
of a young woman. The carriage apparently
was driven through various streets, with the
view of deCeiving the nurse, until 1t stopped in
front OF a large house, in which there were no
lights, either in the hall or in any of the
rooms. Reaching the third or fourth story, the
midwife was first led into an unighted room,
where there was a bed and a woman upon it,
undergoing the pains OF labor. This room led
into another where there were no lights, but
where there was large fire. The midwife
then took her place by the bed in the adjoining
room, and in half an hour young mother who
refused all communication with her new nurse,
was delivered of her first child. 1t was i'm
mediately taken into the room with the fire,
when the nurse asked Tor its clothing, and was
told by the monster who had decoyed her to
the house and chamber, and against her
partial remonstranCe from the beginning
that there was no clothing fer the
child, and that it must be put upon the
fire The nurse refused, when the man drew
pistol upon her. anG threatened to kill her if she
did not obey HIM. She still refused when he
deliberately took the infant from her arms
which was a healthy child-into his own hands,
and put it upon the fire literally roasting it
alive. The nurse was Immediately returned to
her home, in the same carriage, and by the same
Circuitous route, where she has been i'll ever
since and only well enough to communicate
before said, has laid all them before the police

Important to Savings Banks.

The question of the liability of savings banks
to tax OF one twenty-fourth of one per cent. a
month upon all moneys received, invested, or
loaned, according 10 the terms of the one hun
dred and tenth section of the Internal Revenue
Act, has just been set at rest by the United
States Supreme Court. The case which gave
rise to the decision is the same which recently
came up before the United States Circuit Court
in New 7 York, an appeal having been made on a
conflict OF decision. Associate Justice Clifford,
who delivered the opinion of the court, ruled
that the bank is liable to pay the duty; that the
loans received and invested are deposits within
the meaning OF the act Of Congress; and that the
moneys received on deposit in any one month,
and invested in the manner stated during the
same month, are deposits within the meaning
of the acts OF Congress- as to render the plain.
tiff liable to pay the tax thereon for the same
month. Hereafter, therefore, savings banks
will be regarded for purposes Of revenue, as
being identical with MI other banking corpora
tions 1t is proper to add that both justices
Grier and Nelson dssented from the decision of
the majority, holding that these institutions are
merely agents receiving small sums for poor
depositors, and loaning them out under restrc'
ton or investing them in United States, in State
bonds, or stocks, TOR the benefit of the depositors
with the approval Of the institution"

ANOTHER GREAT OIL STORY.
wen FLOWING 1000 Barrels Day

This well promises to be the event in oildom
for some time. It is on the rockingham lease
which is situated at the upper end of the tram
way and extends up the right side Of the ravne.
On Thursday last, pumping was commenced in
No. so. There proved to be very little water in
the well, not more than hve barrels having been
thrown up altogether, when the oil Immediately
followed. The pumping only continued about
ten minutes, when the well began to flow. Ii was
claimed as q good strike Of three hundred bar
rel well on Friday last. On Saturday it was
pumped about half an hour, and on Monday
likewise, after which the sucker rods were
drawn, when II Immediately commenced flow
ing at an astonishing rate. New wells, especi-
ally large ones, are subjects of astonishment,
rather than measurement, even to the most eX-
perenced. Large flowing wells generally pro-
duce much more oil during the first three or
four days, or during the first rush, than after.
wards. 1t is seldom that an opinion upon the
amount new well is producing is sustained by
subsequent facts. Five hundred barrel wells
generally turn out but three, and so with other
quantities in small proportion. The reader in
this instance must be satisfied with the opinion
being yielded, but 1t ls certain that when
visited yesteld day, 1t was pouring out at
a rate which would have excelled either
the United States or Pool Wells of Pit
hole in their palmiest days. The flow Is
steady and forcibIe, spouting from the mouth of
the pipe in straight line, from five to eight
feet, and giving the spectator an impression that
it is elected with great force. The volume of gas
is also great. Two board box pipes, about
twenty feet III height, have been erected over
the covered tank, into which is flows. From
each of these arises a constant volume of gas,
so thick and black as to resemble smoke from
chimney. The amount of oil which the super
intendent CLAIMS as its production during the
first twenty-four hours is twelve hundred bar
rels. Several gentlemen of much experience in
the oil territory visited it yesterday for the first
time, and after the usual period spent IN discus
sion and investigation, pronounced it at least "a
thousand barrel well. l."-RelO Times.

Cov;npton and Ohio Railroad.

A letter from Mr.. PELL, who is leading
member of the firm which has entered
partly into an arrangement to complete
the Covington and Ohio railroad, writes,
under a late day, from Frankfort, Europe,
as follows: "To all appearances am
"going on prosperously in the Covington
"and Ohio Railroad matter. They say
"plainly that 1t can be DONE Tell Vir-
"ginia people that all is being done for
"them the case admits Of"
This is encouraging, althoug il not positive.
The company would have promptly gone
on with the work in September last but
for the occurrence of war in Europe.
Financial affairs are not yet sufficiently
restored to order and quiet to facilitate
large operations in the way of incorporate
Investments. They are rapidly settling
down to the calm level of order and conf
dence; and we hope ere long for good and
decided information touching this enter
prise to build the great Covington and
Ohio railroad. The company of which
Mr.. PELL is member is very anxious to
take it in hand. The rich promises of its
operations when built attract them warmly
towards it.; and they will not relax their
efforts, especially as there is one other
company, and probably two, that will be
glad to get it, and will not fail to seize any
opportunity to bid for it that may be af-
iordcd by any relaxation of the energies
of Messrs. PELL & Co.

Radical Falsehoods.

In their desperate determination not to
be defeated at the approaching elections
in the northern States, the Radicals resort
TO all sorts of faisehoods to sustain their
cause. In the last number of the Phila-
delphia Press FoRNEY's) we find the fol-
lowing:
"The public may we'll be startled ut the an.
nouncement that the President OF the United
States has been engaged in transferring arms
from the possession OF the Government 10 that
of General Lee and corporation OF which he
is the head.
"There is in Virginia military institute,
over which Robert +. Lee presides. This In
stitute was broken up by General Hunter, a
native Of Virginia, but n loyal soldier during
the war, and the buildings and library were
burned by him because they were used TO train
officers for the southern army. This lnsti-
tute has recently been reopened, and arms, in-
GLIDING q battery, have been furnished for the
students by the President Of the United
States"
Now, this is tissue Of falsehoods.
There is not one single truth in the state
ments so far as they apply to the present
time.
First. General LEE is the president of
Washington College, and has no sort of
connection with the Virginia Military H.
stitute. The two institutions are rather
rivals than otherwise.
Secondly. The President Of the United
States has transferred no arms to the pos
session OF the Virginia Military Institute.
General GRANT himself gave the orders
alluded to, declaring at the time he con-
scented to furnish the battery that the boys
must be educated properly.
Thirdly. FoRSEY knew he was lying
when he made these statements. There
has been no report published in any shape
or form from which he could have derived
them. The facts have been given in no
instance otherwise than as We have repeat
ed them. He lied deliberately for the pur-
pose of influencing the elections which are
to take place in Pennsylvania next week.

only Of use to partial extent in freights,

the smallest share in It.
The people Of this city are arousing
themselves from their long. slumbcr. The
ways and means Of building the road to
Lynchburg ore canvassed. One citizen
has pledged himself for 100000; others
for liberal sums. An enterprising con-
tractor is proposing favorable terms, and
there are other circumstances which we
cannot now mention that arc cheering.

Direct Road to Lynchburg.

The late public meeting in this city re-
fcsred the subject Of the proposed railroad
TO Lynchburg to committee Of five, and a
notice appears in the Dispatch of this
morning calling the first meeting Of that
committee.
There ought to be now no question as to
the absolute necessity Of building this
road. The injustice to which We have
long been subjected ID only just now COM
pletely brought out to the light Of day, and
our citizens stand aghast at the exposure.
They at last see how impossible it is for this
city TO prosper with the combinations that
exist against her. Tho very parties who
have participated In the combination pro-
pose now TO right her wrongs, to
abate the Determinations In railroad
charges and facilities against her by
forming combination more powerful and
