A counterpart of the Cole-Hiscox trage- dy occurred in Washington, Friday, in low life. A butcher named Johnson shot his former clerk named Shoot, for intimacy with his wife. They lived in Georgetown, |, but Johnson found his wife and Shoot en t7agrante delictu at house in Sixth street, in that city, where the wife had furnished her paramour room, and fed him on milk and honey carried by her own hands; she is a coarse. passionate, muscular looking woman, and undoubtedly the principal in the affair She is also old enough to have a married daughter. The murderer gave himself up, and pleads Coles reason for the act-the disgrace brought upon him. self, his wife and children. Shoot only lived half an hour.

THE ROXBURY. MINES.

The American Silver Steel Mining Con- pany commenced their first successful splelting operations at their furnace in Cha lybes, in the town of Roxbury, on Tuesday the 11th ut. Chalybes is a new name for what used to be called Mine Hill. Mine Hill proper. the place from which the ore is taken, Is large tract or mountainous range of land situated on the west bank of the Shepaug river, near the dividing line between Roxbury and New Milford, and has quite history. The land has been held a good many years (up to within two years last passed) by David J. Stiles of Southbu- ", but how he acquired it has been rather mystery. shaft was sunk on the hill in the year l77O for the purpose of finding silver, which 1t was thought was found in sufficient quanties to pay for mining, but was suffered to remain in obscurity up to about 1850 when a company was formed in New York, who went on, took possession, and went to work. Lawsuits followed, and thousands of dollars were spent in trying to oust Mr. Stiles, who only held it by quit-claim deed, but the old gentle man was too much for them. In 1864 company was formed, at tke head of which were Messrs Coit. D wives, and oth- CTS of Hartford for the purpose of working the mine for steel which formerly had been worked for silver only. One hundred thousand dollars was paid to MT. Stiles for the land. The company sent to Germany and obtained the services of distinguish ed German by the name of Colby, who as- snmed the superintendence of the mining and smelling operations. There had been d question whether the ore could be sepa- rated, as 1t had often been tried, but the most experienced in those matters had been unable to do so, and all who were acquaint- ed with the nature of the ore prophecied a failure. But MT. Colby has proved him. self eqnal to the task. The writer of this article happened to be present just after the first drawing of the melted ore, and the cheers and congratulations which greeted Mr. Colby pronounced it a perfect success. They are smelling now from five to eight tons every twenty-fonr hours of very su- perior quality of steel, which at present ap- pearances will be very remunerative to the stockholders.
 The company have expended upwards of a half million dollars in lands, machinery and houses. which cannot help but be of immense benefit 10 that section of the country. y.-DanbM.y Times s. H. A.

THE debris of the late fire at the Housa- tonic dock at Bridgeport has been mostly cleared up, and large quantities of rags and cotton picked over and saved. Among the freight in the shed was $25,OOO worth of rubber, fully thirds of which is not damaged. This and other merchandise saved, materially lessens the amount of the loss, which 1t is now thought, will be fully covered by $50,0O0. The loss on cars, buildings, dock, etc., to the company, will be about $l5,O0O Repairs on the dock have already been commenced.

Rev James Hust, of Northmore Green, England, has written about his parishioners thus: ''The services here at eleven and two o'clock have been as plain and unritualis- u" as possible for the last six months. Mass is sung on Sundays at 8 A. M., an hour at which all the Protestant practitioners are in bed drunk, sleeping off the effects of tleir Saturdays carouse. How can this in- terfere in any way with their liberties? So long as the old services are left in their pristine ugliness, what right have parish ;oners to grumble if ! give an additional serYice?''

There is no little rivalry among the young men as to who shall make the finest display and secure the prettiest young ladies at his board, and the emulation sometimes begets the widest extravaganza. Last year, eight seniors hired Lyceum Hall, which they filled with flowers and tables eumptu- ously loaded The entertainment cost them over $6,000. I believe there was nothing quite so extravagant this year, though the same hall was applied to sim liar use by Longworth, son of the Ohio wine merchant, Holmes, son of Dr. Oliver Wendall Holmes and a few others, who put themselves to no trifing trouble and ex- pense Another party of half dozen among them the orator and poet. offered a fine spread in Holworthy, filling eight rooms with their guests. It is rumored that this mater of the "spreads'' is exci- ting the serious attention of the faculty, and that they are considering the question of abolishing class, day in order to get rid of the excessive extravaganza to which it has led

PLAIN SAXON SPEECH UNDERsTooD.-A good story is told of a certain Colonel in the late war. The Colonel aforesaid was riding in stage coach, with several pas- sengers, when he accidentally dropped his hat outside the coach. Putting his head out of the coach window, he exclaimed, in 8 stentorian voice, "Charioteer, pause I have lost my chapeau." The driver paid no heed to the demand Again the bom- bastic fellow authorita1iyely spoke-"Char- ioteer. pause! I have lost my chapeau!" No attention being paid by the driver to this last command, a plain, blunt man, who had become disgnsted with his fellow travellers stiffness and pomposity. put his head out of the window, and said, "Dri- yer, hold on! this d-d fool has lost his hat!!' This was perfectly intelligible to the driver, expletive and all, and the hat was secured

THE people of Hartford have been much excited about the singular escape of a criminal, last week. He was being taken to the lookup, when he broke from the of- ficers, jumped into Park river and waded down toward the Connecticut, until he managed to secrete himself somewhere The officers poked among all the holes in the banks, but could not find him, and a favorite theory is that he swan the Con- necticut and thus escaped.

Ever since the lamented Professor Mitch ell exchanged his astronomical labors for the battle field, the Cincinnati Observa- tory, built in 1843 at an outlay of $4O,- 900 has been of little or no value to the cause of science. An instrument maker has been in charge, and few, if any obser- vations have been taken. It is now propo- sed to revive it's usefulness, and the stock holders are taking the necessary steps in the matter
