SAD CASE IN EANsINGBURGH.-A
WOMAN LEFT TO DIE IN THE STREETS.
"A very remarkable as we'll as hor-
rible affair developed in the village
of Lansingburgh, n. Y, on Thursday
night, The victim is a young girl, 19
years Of age, named Caroline Hub
bard. She formerly resided with a
dreSsmaker in the town of PittstOwn,
Rensselaer, Co., named Kate G. Croft,
but about a month since deceased left
her employment. Late on the night
in question she was seen in company
with strange man In carriage pas
sing through the village of Lansin-
burgh. She was crying and the man
endeavored to pacify her. After pro
ceeding a short distance, they allight-
ed from the vehicle, or according to
some accounts the young woman was
put out Of the carriage by the man.
and the two sat down upon the steps
of a house, where her condition speed.
lily attracted a crowd of people
Soon she ceased to speak, and rapidly
grew worse, until she died in the
arms OF a lady who had been called
from her house to attend the dying
girl. In the excitement incident to
this death scene, her companion re
entered the carriage and drove rap
idly away, now, singular case ot
mistaken identity occurred. A cousin
and brother-in-law of a young lady
living in Cohoes, named Annie Con.
ners, both identified the body as that
of Miss Corners but upon dispatch
ing an officer to her residence that
person was found at home in bed
alive and well. A postmortem ex
animation showed that death was
caused by inflammation resulting from
an operation to produce miscarriage

iIt-1 GEORGE MULLER, FInza-

ei-4 DRlSToI, ENG, Aug. z, ISbL
9 a0mI-a GEORGE MULLER. f..mat
Thlrty-seven years ago young man
who was born in Prussia. and who
had been a soldier in the Prussian
army, came to England. He had
been wild and reckless, but had be-
come converted, and with his conver-
sion there came strong desire to
serve the Lord Jesus. He preached
awhile at Teignmouth in company with
Mr.. Clarke. After while the two
came to Bristol and undertook to
preach without any fixed salary
While here Mr.. Muller was deeply
affected at the sight of fatherIess and
motherless children, and resolved with
the help of God to do something for
them. He had no means, but he knew
that the silver and the gold were the
Lords and he believed that the Lord
would bring some of it into use for
the benefit Of the orphans lfmen would
ask for it. He resolved that prayer
alone should be his instrumentality-
that he would not ask help or aid
from any man, and that he would not
run in debt. Here is his principle of
action in his own words:
II have always said this to myself;
just because it is the work Of the
Lord, if, indeed, | am the person who
has to do this work, and if his own
time has come, l may expect to be
supplied with means, it is plain that
am either not the person to do the
work, or the Lords time has not yet
come. y
Acting upon this principle he begar
to pray for means and means came
very small at first. He gave up his
own house to orphans and very soor
had it filed. He had great difficulties
People thought him crazy. Sometimes
he had very little food on hand fol
the children. He was so Strengthened
that he was obliged to sell furniture
but he never run in debt. He KEEP
praying and means began to flow il
more largely. People from a dis
tance, all unknown to him, sen
money. Others called to see the or
phans and left something to help hin
on when they went away.
He left his own house and took 4;
larger one. Finally he moved ou
from the city to Ashley Downs anc
established the present Orphan Asy
lum. He began this work in 1884
And now let US ride out to see thi
establishment, which, in the words OF

THE MARVEL.

The way in which all this has been
accomplished is truly a marvel that
has no parallel in history. The ex-
penditure last year was s174,245, and
the total expenditure since the year
1884 is $1,845,0O0. Through his
agency II, 900 copies of the Bible 81,
600, Testaments, 10000 ofthe Psalms
and 29, 100000 tracts and books have
been circulated. Besides this 120
missionaries have been sustained, at a
cost of S343,0OO. For the erection
and furnishing of the buildings, $780,
600 has been expended, and yet Mr..
Muller never has made an appeal to
the public, never has employed any
agency save that of prayer to Godl

THE ASYLUM.


1t is about half hours ride, and
as we leave the thickly settled streets
of the city, ascend a hill along a wind
ing way, from which we look down
upon a lovely English landscape,
orchards, hedge-rows, lawns, parks,
fields of grain ready for the reaper,
country seats and villas, avenues of
elms and oaks, hocks of sheep quietly
browsing on the down. Just such a
prospect as can be found no where
else other than in England. 1t is in
such spot of quiet rural beauty, near
to the city and yet removed from its
noise, that Mr. Muller has established
this "Home for Little Wanderers.
Our driver called it the Orphan Vii
lage," and it is village by itself, five
large houses with yards in front set
off with plats of flower and garden
vegetables, all kept in perfect order
and exquisite neatness. There are
two large buildings Of stone under
construction, and the click of the
trowel keeps time to the music Of the
children, which comes floating on the
air from the open windows of the
school room.
This is the chiIdren's home. Here
they eat, sleep, study play-cared for
by the great hearted man who has
been the agent of God in building up
this establishment. He has able as
sistants and co-laborers. Everything
goes like clockwork. The total num-
Der Of orphans in the institution since
1886 is 2263. He has at the present
time 1850, and already has applica-
tions enough to fill the buildings now
being erected. The girls generally
remain until they are eighteen; the
boys till fourteen. They are instruct
i ed in reading, writing, arithmetic Eng
iish history, a little of general history
needlework and housework, an d
places are secured for them In Christ
ian families when they leave the insti-
tuition. This however, is but small
part Of the work carried on by Mr..
Muller. He has established Sunday
and day schools not only in Bristol,
but in other large towns, and through
his agency 10000 scholars have been
instructed. sos a#) rlgz

On Monday, 4th of March, at ~. 80 clock,
the XXXIXth Congress was adjourned with.

scmhled Ben Wade, of Ohio, was elected
President of the Senate, and Colfax re.elect.
cd Speaker of the new House. Mcpherson.
Clerk of the old House, was also re. elected,
The Judiciary Committee which had the
charges of Impeachment against the Presi.
dent referred to it, reported that sufficient
evidence had been elected by the inves,iga.
ton to warrant further prosecution of the
evidence in the case, and it was handed over
to the Fortieth Congress to complete the in.
yestigation, and bring articles of impeach.
ment against Andy johnson. There is
hardly doubt that the President will be
impeached and suspended, and in that case
Ben Wade will be President.
On Saturday last the President sent TIVE
veto messages to Congress one on the Re
construction bill, and'the other on the Ten
ure Of Office bill, Both bills were immc
diatcly passed over the vetocs without de
bate. The Tenure of Office bill deprives
the President Of all power to dismiss from
and appoint to Office without the consent o.

bclicose " demand notwithstanding. Mr..
Patterson is informed that when editors re.
ccigc Eratuitous letters for publication, they
arc IN the habit OF accepting G. rejecting
them in whole or in part as their discretion
determines. Mr.. P'S letter was rejected in
part because we deemed the rejected parts
did not contain sufficient general interest 10
warrant publication when our space was
limited, and the tcsty gentleman was not
mlSrcprcscnted, in the slightest degree.
by the parts Of his letter made use of for
publication. We presume the above letter
, fairly represents the correspondent who has
written communications to papers in four
different States, and during period of FIVE
years. " If Mr.. Pattcrson's reputation
and honor depend upon my (his) seeing Il
copy of your paper containing that publica.
ton he will have to come to The Whig
Office. where he can examine one Of our file
papers containing what was published of the
aforesaid letter. Mr.. p, however, will not
be likely to obtain either true copy, or
the original manuscript" of his famous pro.
duction, for the simple reason that We don't
preserve manuscripts unless requested to do
so, and we presume it went into the waste
basket along with other like matter
Mr. 7. can now proceed to "iollow up
my thisl demand and "see this matter
brought upon basis of JUSTICE We have

man IN view" Answer not fool according
