THREE CASES OF INFANTIoIDE.--An inquest
was yesterday held by Coroner Schirmer at the
Nineteenth Precinct Station House, on the body
Of male infant that was found on pile of
stones at the corner of Forty-fourth street and
Second avenue. The body was so decomposed
that the cause of death could not be ascertained
An inquest was held by the same Coroner, at
the Seventeenth Precinct Station House, on the
body of an unknown female infant, found by
Officer Smith in an ash-barrel in Seventh street.
There were no marks of violence on the body,
and death was probably occasoned by exposure
and neglect.
An inquest was also held by the same Coro-
ner, at the Twentieth Precinct Station House.
on the body of an unknown male infant, found
on 7sday night lying on the walk in Thirty
sixth street, near Tenth avenue. DR.. Leo found
that the infant had been strangled, the imprint
of fingers being plainly visible upon the neck of
the child. A woman named Eliza Mckee was
arrested on suspicion of having placed the child
where found, but the evidence elected was not
sufficient to warrant her detention, and she was
accordingly discharged Ivy the Coroner.-N. Y.

The History OF THE SEcnHT SERVICE DURING
THE REBELLIoN.-By General L. G. Baker, Late
Provost Marshal and Chief Detective of the War
Department. Philadelphia P. GarrettIS Co.
The most interesting and absorbing narrative
concerning the late great struggle is naturally
that which reveals the operations of depart
ment, established for the especial purpose of
maintaining profound secrecy as to its aims, Oh
iects, and methods. And now that the return of
peace has rendered unnecessary this bureau OF
secret service, it is right and proper that the
American people should know something of its
my sterious work in the past. This knowledge
is fully Supplied in this somewhat unexpected
but very welcome history OF General Baker. He
was Chlef of the Secret Service for five years
During this time he became the depositary of
many strange secrets, obtained the key to many
profound and important mysteries, unrayelled
numerous grand intrigues, was engaged in much
perilous service and now he unbosoms himself
as historian. He has done his latest work
faithfully, telling the people al-reserving
nothing screening no one in power, performing
his task without tue hope OF gaining future en-
poyment.
Neither is the book made to subserve any par
tisan purpose; high officials of the Government
cut as sorry figure as some Of the poor block
ade-runners, whose highest ambition it was to
sell a hundred weight or two otquinne to the late
Coniederacy. General Baker judieously justi
hes his most important statements with vouchers
from the highest authority, inparting thereby
genuine historic value to his startling reyela-
tions. That the book will give rise to much
controversy there is no doubt; and it will be
read with deep interest by all who desire a full
knowledge Of the history of the war. 1t is is
sued in a very superior style, the type, paper,
and binding ali being Of the best quality. Seven
teen fine engrayings serve to illustrate the text
and beautify the work.

GREAT FIRE.--0ne of the most extensive fires
and heaviest losses, says the Wilmington (Del)
Commercial, which this city or its vicinity has
ever experienced occurred yesterday, in the total
destruction of Jessup g. Moore's paper mills ut
Rockand on the north bank ofthe Brandywine
river, four miles from Wilmington. These mills
were an ong the largest and most extensive in the
country, and were included in several large adj
joining buildings. They manufactured paper OF
various qualities from combinations of wood
pulp and rags, and supplied the Commercial, ard
all other papers in this city, the New York Inde-
pendent, Street & Smiths ny Weekly, Bon
ner's New York Ledger, and number of Others,
a large quantity of pape, being shipped to Cali
fornia. The mills were run day and night, EN-
ploying about one hundred workmen, and turn
ing out l6, 0oe pounds of paper daily. Sixteen
teamstcrs found employment simply in hauling
stock to and paper from the establishment.
The works with all their contents-machinery
stock, and manufactured paper-were entirely
consumed, and are total loss, even the iron
machinery being so warped and injured as to be
useless. The loss is stated by the proprietors to
be over $500, 600.

Sc A VT EED TOWTC

THIS medicine, invented by Ord. H. Sch ncls,
L OF Philadelphia, is Intended to dissolve the
food and make il into chyme, the first process
Of digestion. By cleansing the stomach with
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon re-
stores the appetite, and food that could not be
eaten before using il will be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck'
Pulmonic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is
made healthy and the appetite restored, hence
the Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every
case of consumption. A half dozen bottles of the
SEA WEED TONIC and three or four boxes
of the MANDRAKE PILLS will cure any or
binary case of dyspepsia.
DR.. Schenck makes professional visits in New
York, Boston, and at his principal office in
Philadelphia every week. See daily papers OF
each place, or his pamphlets on consumption for
his days for visitation.

HOLT AND CoNovER.-The conviction
of Sanford Couover for perjury, and his
sentence to ten years Imprisonment are
eminently just but justice is not satisfied
with this act alone. OF course, it sounds
well that this poor scamp should be pun
ished for his crime but why should his
master, Joseph Holt, go free ? There are
grave suspicious in the public mind that,
as compared with Holt, Conover was more
sinncd against than SHINING, since he was
tool of the former. BY all means, then,
let there be public trial Of Jos. Holt !;
not whitewashing affair with packed
jury ami plant judge, but an honest in
vest cation, uut,ammellcd by the inGu.
ences which the War Department knows
so well how to bring to bear upon courts
within its reach Were this fellow, Holt,
anything OF a man, he would demand a
thorough investiga ion of his conduct;
his failure to do so, together with his eff
forts to thwart every such proceeding,
strengthen the suspicion which exists
against him. But why not bring him to
trial IN Y World.

A YOUTHFUL MURDERER.-A cor
respondent in Fairview township, furnish
es the York county Democrat with the
following :
A most dreadful and inhuman act was
committed by boy in this township, near
VOLTS station, on the Northern Central
Railroad, on Monday, the 18th inst. The
name of the young monster is Frederick
Hufstott. While his mother and elder
brother we're absent from home, he at
tempted to take tho life of his two little
sisters and child in the cradle, by shoot
ing them with revolver, which happened
TO be in the house at the time. Two bar
rels of the pistol were loaded with powder
and balls, and another with powder only.
In firing the first shot he inflicted a flesh
wound on the scapula Of one of the girls
the second shot took effect in the neck of
the other girl-the third load containing
powder only, he discharged in the face of
the infant. The injuries arc fortunately
not of very serious character, and good
hopes of the recovery of the children are
entertained. The boy has always been a
very bad and desperate character He is
about thirteen years of age and fatherless,
his father baving died in the army. Much
excitement prevails in the neighborhood,
in consequence of bis attempt at wholesale
murder. The boy has not been arrested
at our latest advices.

AFFAIRS AT PoRT DEposlT.-We gather the
following from the Port Deposit correspondent of
the Cecil Wig:
The floating batteries have commenced fishing,
and the gillers have fine success. Our staff of
life now being plentiful, we have no fear of being
weighed in the balance and found wanting, as
we Can control the scales.
On Monday afternoon hail, rs large as wal
nut, fell for about two minutes. 1t was soft and
did no damage. There is report that there
was heavy hail storm north of rs, and there
was some damage done by it in Lancaster coun-
ty, Pa.
The Columbia R. R. Co. have at last, laid
ties through the town as far as the upper wharf
Promises have been given that, if fulfilled, we
would have had the cars running thus far some
time since. Mr. Sheat, the engineer, is now
waiting for the completion of magnificent and
indispensable culvert of the vast proportions of
four hundred by one hundred-nches.
On Monday, Mr.. j. H. Black, Liquor Dealer,
ofPhiladelphia, hired a horse from Mr.. E. j.
Buckley and drove out to make sales. At a
Gypsy encampment, he saw horse which he
fancied, and traded Buckeyes horse, giving 800
in Notwithstanding on his return hare to sat-
isfy Mr.. B. for his horse. The news reached
Portland Mr.. KaN proved TO be the owner Of
the horse, who started with officer and warrant,
and replevied the horse from the Gypsy. Yes
terday evening there was hearing, which adj
journed until this morning at eight O. clock, when
the matter was settled by Black purchasing
katz's horse from the Gypsy for $3.50, and re-
turning him to his owner-the Gypsy paying
costs of suit. The Gypsy valued his animal at
over $3.50, and Mr. Black is satisfied he has
bargain. Many of the "Lookers on in Venice"
appeared more excited and harder to please than
the parties chiefly interested.

To Baltimore, 10 boats, loaded with ice, lumber,
&c. to Philadelphia, 3 boats, loaded with pig
iron, lumber grain, lime, &c. Up to last Mon
day, no boats had arrived at Havre de Grace
from the upper can'ls. This is partly on ac-
count of the Pennsylvania canals being rather
late in getting ready for work, and partly on &C
count of the backwardness of the spring. A
large number of boats were unable to get up last
fall on account Of the ice, which also delays the
spring trade to some extent.
