DEATH or MAMMALIAN. - An Austrian

The Austrian Legation at Washington
are said to give full credit to this intelli-

The Announcement. will be received with
widespread pity for the fate Of the unhappy
prince, and for his young wife Carlotta, who
1t Is said has regained her reason, since the
knowledge of her husbands peril was made
known to her. 1t will also disappoint the
expectation Of many. who thought that since
Macmillan had survived the crisis Of hI
capture, he would probably be spared. anC
who did not think the Mexican Presiden
could disregard the earnest request Of GU
Government, to whose action the success o
the liberal party there is due, IN behalf o
the prince.
But It is 70 lie remembered that Maximi
Ian had attempted to force himself, an Aus
TRAN Arcbduke, on an unwilling Republic
as Emperor that he thus accepted th
risk Of dying the death of filIbus;er, if b
failed to establish his empire that he ha
proclaimed President Juarez and his SUI
porters to be bandits and outlaws, and tina
1t may have been a duty with them to max
an example for the warning Of future usur
pers. The warning is certainly clear on,

The CASE OF REv. 5. NJ. MERRILL.-The
Albany Journal says

The CASE OF REv. 5. NJ. MERRILL-The
Albany Journal says:
There never was more singular case Of
drowning recorded than this. Dr. Wentworth.
Of Troy, who was in Plattsburgh, says that
the young man with him at first felt no appre-
hension, knowing the water to be shallow, and
because as he came to the surface he shouted
I'm all right = Seeing that he neither gained
the boat nor the bank, but was on the contrary
floating towards the piers Of the railroad bridge,
few rods below, his son, a good swimmer,
plunged after him, and got within few feet Of
hun, when in the shadow Of the bridge the
boy says Ibis father disappeared and he saw no
more Of him." We should ike to see the body
before we should consider that drowning hsd
taken place under such circumstances. And
the body has not yet been recovered, notwith-
standing faithful search stimulated by the
offer Of a liberal reward by the trustees Of the
church. Merrill preached last Sunday night to
a crowded house, on the Responsibilities and
Duties of the Press His life was insured
against accidents for $4,000, and the policy
would have expired Thursday. DR.. Wentworth
gives no credit TO the conjecture that he "made
away with himself to escape ecclesiastical inyes-
tigation," into his late''meeiing by agreement
or to the rumor that he "waded ashore and ran
away to secure the avails Of the insurance
policy TO his family. There is deep mystery
connected with the affair. and its solution will
be awaited with interest.

that point being shallow he told the bows in the
boat take care Of themselves, as he was ali
