ALLEGED CLEVELAND WIFE MURDER.
The Guilty Person Arrested-The Has.
band Innocent.

The Canadian papers give an account of the
arrest in Ottawa OF man by the name of Nc
Connell,, the murderer OF woman IN Cleye-
land Ohio, about twelve days ago, by the
name of Mrs. Colvin.
The prisoner denies the accusation, but some
of the murdered womans effects we're found in
his possession. He resides on Lot No. lS in the
eighth concession OF toe township OF Fitzroy
Detective O'Nell and Constable Davis, ac-
companied by Cleveland detective, made the
arrest.
1t appears that1he prisoner nearly chopped
his victim up with an axe, and then dragged
her out and covered her up with wood, which
was piled close to the house. Mcconnell when
he saw the constables approaching the house.
seCreted himself IN the garret, and threatened to
kill the first person who attempted to arrest
him. He was finally brought down by Constable
Davis
Some excitement prevailed in the city on ac-
count of this horrible tragedy.
&Colvin, the husband OF the murdered woman,
was found badly injured, under circumstances
that led to his arrest on the charge of murder
ing his wife.
The Cleveland Leader has an account of the
scene that took place when the news of the ar
rest Of the guilty man was announced to ColVn
on Tuesday night. 1t says:-
'He nearly jumped out of his skin, attempted
to give expression to his feelings in words, but
the muscles OF his face and the organs of his
throat would not obey his will, and could only
execute the most pitable grmaCes imaginable.
AT length he quit the useless effort, and burst
into food of tears, and filed the jail with
shouts of Joy.
''He was the happiest mortal, no doubt on the
face of the planet; he danced about like tawn,
making all sorts of demonstrations, as of man
tipsy with JOY. Miller, another suspected party,
on the other hand, was not visibly affected, but
seemed as plethoric and pumpkiny as before the
receipt of the news which clapped wings to the
shoulders of his confederate"

A Strange StOry-StOlen Money Recovered
Through q Dream.

The Memphis AUdLdpohe says that last Friday
night in Lagrange, Tennessee, the store OF Mr.
Baum was entered by burglars the safe blown
open with powder and $4,000 in greenbacks
together with about $500 in gold, taken. About
$500 of the abstracted money belonged to Mr.
Baum, and the remainder to Captain Reeves
commanding a negro company at that place.
Memphis detectives were sent for and went TO
Lagrange In the meantime an old German
named Resene, whose COW had been stolen or
had wandered of, dreamed that she was in the
cemetery OF the place, and that he had followed
her there, but on reaching the spot he found,
not the COW, but the fragments OF safe and
papers scattered about. He also dreamed that
there was money buried there. In the morning he
went out 10 verify what he had seen IN his sleep,
and found place in the graveyard where the
earth had been turned up, and on digging the
lost money was discovered buried, as he had
seen it in his vision. The stolen treasures have
been restored to the owners. We give the
statements as we find them in the AUdidacte
leaving to that paper the responsibility for their
truih.

-Mentlon has been made of the enterprise

Mention has been made of the enterprise
undertaken by ii Duca di San Clemente, nothing
less extensive than a continuation of the Psalms,
fifty of which Marcello set by commissioned
Italian composers. The first of these, by Signor
Bazzlni, the BOcChertni journal informs us, was
performed the other day at Florence, in the
Sala Sbolci. The Chevaher Mariana has been

the Consistory of Paris, some two years ago.
is one of the most interesting books connected
with the history of religious persecution in
France that has ever been published, and is, at
the same time, an authentic record of the cruel
ties practised upon the Huguenot galley slaves
during the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XIV, and
Louis XVI, taken from secret State papers still
existing in the archives, at once proof of the
folly OF bigoted intolerance, and Of un1inching
courage and enduring faith. The book is far
more interesting than most religious novels,
aud is as fascinating as the Scottish narratives
of the ''Old Mortality" Coyenanters which Sir
Walter Scott worked up and perpetuated In his
''Tales of My Landlord"

the Society produced some time since at a

because they avoid political discussion, and de.

PoRT-AU.PRINoE, March 2O.-A very disastrous
and destructive fire broke out this city on the 18th
instant at seven O'Clock in the morning and halt Of
the capital Is in ashes In no city in the world could
hre extend more rapidly than here, where the
houses, beng built of wood, rapidly become prey
10 the devourtng element. No engines have ever
been bought to eXtinguIsh fires, notwIths hstanding
the calamity of the 28th February, 1866 when very
nearly half the city was burned and great numbers
Of families were ruined
The people, instead of helping to stop the pro-
gress Of the fire. either ran about half wild IN the
streets, or tried to rob ana punder. The educated
classes and the foreigners did tner best TO le
city. The Government and the troops did nothing;
but what could few men do when they only had
at their disposal few buckets and but scanty
ihe fire burned for thirty hours. The cause of
it ls unknown; but it is fact that efforts were
made by some men to set on fire the houses that
had luckily escaped. Tnirty-three blocks were
completely burned down, embracing about one
thousand houses. Eight nine thousand people
without home; many not being
able even to save clothes for themselves and
children. There is great distress in consequence.
The losses cannot vet be ascertained, but many
people who were rich before this disaster are now
penmess. Those who had confisence their fire.
PROOF buildings slowed them full or their own and
the Vauables OF their frends but several of these
buildings were burned down, the shutters, notwith
stan ding their strength having been blown open by
the intense heat Thanks are que to the crews of

saved much property.
