Shocking Tragedy.

MANCHESTER, n. H., Jan. H. a tragedy
occurred in this city last evening, which caused
considerable excitement. 1t appears that a
young man named Hatch formerly saloon
keeper, some time since became enamored Of
Mrs Batchelder, residing in Mount Pleasant
street, and whose husband is living IN Boston.
The hopelessness Of his guilty passion seems to
have unsettled his reason. About six o'clock
last evening, Mrs. Batchelder and Mrs. David
son went to the room Of the former, and while
one of the women was engaged in putting some
wood in the stove, Hatch entered the room
with arevolver, and fred upon Mrs. Batchelder.
The ball struck steel stay in her dress and
glanced of, without doing injury, though the
weapon was aimed at her heart Mrs Batch
cider and Mrs Davidson then made their
escape from the room, wbereupon Hatch
placed the muzze of the pistol at his own
breast and shot himself through the hugs
The wound is mortal one.

der the new contract, on little, crook

The first of July, the new contractors for
carrying the mails, between this place ana
Little Rock, entered upon their work. The
stock for the route consisting, we learn, OF
FOUR MULES. The distance one hundred and
eighty miles and the mails to be carried three
times week. For over thirty years, the mails
to Little Rock have been (until now trans
ported in stages with not less than two horses,
and at times have just all they can do bring
all the mail matter through. The present ar
rangcment is a shame and disgrace. On Tues
day of last week "Bill' started down on the
crooked-leged mule and returned Saturday
night bringing the first mail from the Rock,
under the new contract. On Monday last the
old contractors started to Missouri with their
stock and coaches consisting of seven or eight
four-horse coaches with several mules. To
look upon this grand equippage moving otto
be here no more and to think and realize that
nothing, is left but Bill Crimpshire and his
runt ofa mule, to take their places, we are
ready to cry aloud.
This contract, has undoubtedly been taken

been received from the North or the East since

wrath, and discomfort, we have found them
eager and painstaking in their efforts to reor-
