The New bonnet

IA New York correspondent gives tHe
following description of the bonnet TO pc
worn this spring by our fashionable la
dies. 1t made its appearances a lew
days since in Broadway;
MI The prevailing fashion of hat to De
worn the coming spring has been de-
,E scrfbed by lady friend as beautifully
beautiful, charrningly convenient, and
gracefully adapted to the capacltles OF
those who have curls and know now 10

t.--A light gauzy material, generally OF white
or dove color, and in shape is cross be-
tween the Jockey hat of last summer and
those Of later fashion. Take the brazen
N 4f 4a scoop with which your tea-dealer Ia
sfn ra dies out his Souchong and Bohea, trim
H it about the outer edges with
tf1 reuches and ribbons, put satin strings to
'aAl it on either side, and you have the very
counterpart of the new hat which is to
adorn the caputs of the young and mid
llle-ageds ladies of fashion in America
this season. In spite of its OutTe ap-
peararlce however, it will keep off the
H -ssllns rays equal to a small parasol, and
III y n Il fated to become the rage. 1T is far
-+- more sensible, in point of shape and
size, than the small velvet side-saddle

lts fa siyely fattering themselves they were
shielding their back hair during the
fa~ past winter. In lieu of causing lady's
Iarit llead to assume the proportions OF
lA miniature camel, surmounted by an un-
l-tt-.T 1gainly hump, it viii at least crown her
5aaIa head, d,ifnot handsomely snrmount and
aI5+ ornament it. And as it is an improve
ment. of cOurse it will find its enemies

-E- la singular and distressing case of
murder took place near Kelly's Mills in
III fr ~ The Northern portion of the county on
-aJ1J friday last. The particulars of the
affair. as toldus, are about these: Sam
uel Carter and Mr.. Myers were to-
gcther All day atsthe- Mills until about
@a=ysan-doWn4 4IMheIl@1 they started home.
They had their sporting guns with them
and amused themselves shooting squir-
rels as they walked along. While
Myers was turning squirrel
for Carter, he noticed that c. had his
gun leveled upon him, and called his
~f N attention to it, requesting him to hold up
his gun. After a little while he OBJ
.lg 1la served the gun still pointing at him, and
becoming alarmed at the strange conduct
~ Of Carter. and suspiconing his intention
sE To Kill him Myers attempted to cross a
I Ig Geek and get away. AT this moment
-. carter ran toward him and getting in
@Ar- eight or ten feet of the poor man shot
him dead, the ball entering the back and
coming out through the abdomen.
After the deed, Carter procured a wag-
on, and took the corpse to Mr.. Stub
bletield's, living near. and remark
ed in a free and easy way tnat
he had killed the damned ras-
cal" that he was a good target and
N. ''he shot him down." At other times
tie said it was an accident. Carter was
taken into custody, and had an examin-
alton Before Justice Rice at New Mar
ket, who committed him to Jail to await
trial in the Circuit Court. Constable
Sneed brought him to the city yester-
day and lodged him in jail. Persons

Sir Morton Peto has again come to grief: -
At meeting Of the shareholders and bond
holders of the London, Chatham and Dover
Railroad, it was stated that there had been an
over-issue of the company's bonds TO the ex.
tent OF sl2S, 900, equal to nearly one third or
the whole sum authorized The directors all
declared that they knew nothing about 1t, and
called on their contractor, Sir NJ. Peto, 10 eA,
plain. Sir NJ. Peto acknowledged that ne mao
been instrumental in thus dlsposlng OF docu-
ments which were in their nature really as
fraudulent as forgery; but said II ne had not
done so he and the company must have both
stopped sogether-which both have Gone
since.
An immense majority Of men IL Rome never
light candle, unless sometimes at early dawn.
And the custom of Rome was the custom also
of all nations that live around the great pond
Of the Mediterranean. In Athens, Egypt,
Palestine, Asia Minor, everywhere, the an
clients went to bed, like good boys, from seven
to niue clock. The Turks and other people,
who succeeded in tie stations and the habits
of the ancents, do so at this day.
The other day the idea Of making Paris a
seaport was laughed at as canard, especially
bv persons not aware that the third most I'M
portant port in France lies at St. Ouen, only a
few miles down the river Engineers have
already surveyed the Seine between Paris and
Rouen, and sent in their estimates fer deepen
ing it and changing the river into kiud OF
canal.
London is world in itself. The last Eng
fish census develops the curious fact that there
are more Scotchmen in London than Edln-
burg, more Irish than in Dublin, more Roman
Catholics than in Rome, and more Jews than
in Palestine Next to London, perhaps, New
York is the most cosmopolitan OF cities.
The public of this country can have very
little adequate idea Of the horrors or the ex-
tent of the famine now existing in the interior
Of the India. The famine began il October
last, and has been depopuiatiDg Orissa, dis,
