FEARFUL TRAGEDY.--A letter from
Havana dated 18th inst, says that an aw-
fnl tragedy was enacted in the office of one
of the justices of peace in Matanzas few
days ago. A suit for alimony had been
commenced by married lady, who had
for some months been separated from her
husband, Santiago Manzane., of literary.
reputation. The case was proceeding quite
smoothly TO all present. when, quick as
lightning, Manzanet drew revolver and
fired at his wife. The ball entered her
forehead, causing her TO fall over into her
mothers lap, an aged lady, who was sitting
beside her. TIE iend then fred his re-
volver at the mother, when both fell at his
feet, gasping in the agonies of death. The
murderer then fercely turned upon the
persons present and threatened them with
the same fate it they dared TO interfere
with him. He then took few strides
across the room, approached tke corpse OF
the hapless woman, and emptied the re-
naming charges of his revolvers into their
bodies. After the deed the cold-blooded
assassin threw down his revolver and gave
himself up TO the officers of justice.
! A conductor on a night train from
New York TO Washington, last week. who

SHOCKING CRIME by A CHILD.-A
letter from Fort Pitt, small settlement
in the Saskatchewan Valley, British
America, gives the following particulars
of singular and shocking crime commit
ted by little boy =
A French Canadian had killed several
pigs, and his little children had looked ON
in approving wonder at the process.
Soon after the parents went to church,
and on their return were met met at the
door by their Oldest child, Gustave, an
eight year old boy, who exclaimed in
childish glee, have killed little piggy !;
come and see." He was covered with
blood. What they saw may be inferred
from the confession of the boy as to what
had taken place. When the parents had
gone TO church, Gustave proposed 10 his
little brother, Adolph, that they should
play killing pig. In this request it is
supposed tie unfortunate little fellow ac-
guessed. The youngest was TO be the
pig, the eldest the butcher. Gustaye ea-
gerly assisted his brother to undress for
the tragedy, and taking small rope
tied him down securely to rough lounge
that stood in the room; he then procured
the butcher knife that his father had used
in slaughtering the pigs The day before,
and plunged it into the throat of his pas
sive and helpless brother. The wound
was mortal one, and it is supposed that
death must have Immediately resulted.
After the child had bled his little life
away, the unnatural brother, with the
most incredible heartlessness, took the
cord which confined the body TO the lounge,
and, tying one end around the feet of The
corpse, threw the other over the beam.
and, lending his weight and strength.
hoisted the body 10 the position in which
1T was found; then, not satisfied with the
programme thus far carried out, the little
butcher must needs disembowel his dead
brother almost in the exact manner in
which his father had the pigs the day be-
fore.

Murder of a Vermonter.


A most brutal murder recently occurred
al Bridgewater, Minnesota. The muir
dered man was Josiah Stanford, formerly
Of Orleans County, and was brother of
Samuel Stanford now residing at Irasburg.
We copy an account OF the murder from
the Mortified. MINI. Recorder;
1t becomes our duty to chronicle one OF
the most atroclous murders that we have
ever known. Last Tuesday morning, Jo-
siah Stanford left his pleasant home never
TO return alive, but to die by the hand of
a fiend in human shape. The facts are
briefly as follows:
Alfred Hoyt, the murderer lives in a
log shanty about two miles northwest OF
Dundas in the town of Bridgewater Jo-
siah Stanford, the victim, lives about three
quarters of mile from Hoyt's on the
road to Dundas. Last Tuesday morning
about half past Z o'clock Mr.. Stanford left
home to 60 to his sugar bush beyond
Hoyt's and when he arrived there he
found Hoyt's cows in his sugar bush and
drove them out. Hoyt was at work near
his home with an axe and when he saw
Stanford, left his work at the house, and
and pursued and killed him, about twenty
rods from his (Hoyt's) house, at the side
Of the ioad. the fendish murderer moi
satisfied with his killing the victim, cut hi;
left hand completely off, and then hacked
and terribly mangled his head with the
axe, which seemed only to arouse the de-
mon within him, for he started for STAN
ford's house, telling his wife as he passed
his own house that he had skilled old
man Stanford and was going to murder
the rest of them" When he arrived al
| Stanford's house he went into the kitchen
where Mrs. Stanford was at work, and
rising his axe said, Il have murdered the
old man and now have come to kill yor
God damn you Mrs. Stanford sezet
the axe and by superhuman efforts, helt
il so he could not strike her with it
her little girl seeing the trouble ran to thu
barn for her two brothers, they came jus
in time, for he had let go the axe witt
one hand and was striking Mrs. Stanton,
in the face endeavoring to knock he
Hdown; then came a terrible tussle be
tween the Oldest boy and the murderer
in which the boy with the aid of his broth
er ard mother came out successful, o
rather succeeded in getting the murdere
down and tieing lin, and holding him un
til the neighbors arrived, when the vii
wretch was taken to Dundas and iron
there on the cars to Fairbault. Alfre'
Hoyt the murderer has been noted as
man of very quick temper and withou
principle, he was bounty Jumper and
deserter. He has wife and seven chill
dren, the oldest twelve years of age AM
and the youngest four weeks old. Hi
age is thirty-;hree. Josiah Stanford ha
always been loved and respected in tn,
neighborhood as quiet inoffensive neigh
Dor, and a kind husband and father. HI
leaves a wife and four children; he was
fify-live years of age.

Ca We have important news this week
from Mexico. Querctaro has been cap
tured by the Liberals and Macmillan
taken prisoner together with several
other notable generals OF the /" imperial
army" 1t took place on the 18th inst.
This is probably the end of Maximilian's
"empire in Mexico. The latest reports
were that Macmillan would be shot by
order of the Liberal government. We
think Mexico would do better not to shoot
him. lie has been mere tool and catspaw
in the hands of Louis Napoleon, who has
got him into this dilemma, and does moth
ing to help him out. Still Maximiian has
been cruel to the Liberals and when he
had the power has ordered the Liberals
shot precisely as they propose to shoot
him, whom they, with truth. regard as
merely an interloper from Austria who
should take the responsibility of his own
impudence and the character of his mis-
sion and pretended government has been
such that should he be shot there will be
very little mourning among the people
either in this country or in Mexico. II he
is executed it will doubtless be done i'm
mediattly as they viii not keep him in
prison two years and then let him out on
bail. That kind of business is left TO the
United States.
