The LIE Nouceaw Monde says: "It is
said that very mysterious murder has
been committed in place not stated, by
persons whose names are concealed as
much as possible. If the matter is un-
veiled we will speak of it." The follow
ing is the supposed solution of the mys-
terry. It seems to possess all the char
aracteristics of sensational hoax: "On
an evening of March last, at about II
O'Clock, a traveller was crossing the small
bush on the left shore of Mile Isle river,
between St. Eustache and St. Rose.
That location has always, rightly or not,
possessed the reputation of being fatal
to belated travellers. The man, then,
was quietly crossing the silent wood
when suddenly an individual in rags,
and with sinister looks, jumped at the
horses bride, and brandishing an axe,
over the affrighted persons head, cries
your money or your life.' The traveller
answered, 4 have only $50; here they
are, and let me go'. Having received the
money, the robber allowed his victim to
leave, which he did at the fullest gallop
of his horse. At short distance from
the wood, the traveller knocked at the
door of small house, and begged for
hospitality. In that house there was
only a woman. who first refused admit
tonce, giving for excuse that her husband
was away However, upon more press
ing entreaties, she allowed the stranger
to enter her lodging, and directed him to
the garret to spend the rest of the night.
He went up, and as he was preparing
.placefo sleeping, he heard voice which
he recognized as that of his assailant in
the bush. Here wife said the voice. 4
have done good business tonight. I
have met a man in the wood, from whom
i demanded his money or his life, and he
gave me 500 Good said the woman,
i bet that is the man who is up stairs
sYes,' said the husband 'and he must
have more money WELL said the old
woman, 'he will will soon be asleep, and
we will kill him. i will go up to the
garrett said the man, 'and will knock
him down with my axe; then you will
cut his throat with my razor Agreed
said the woman. During that conyersa-
tion it may well be supposed that our
traveller did not go to sleep; but kept
watching for the conclusion of the horri-
BILE drama he had just heard the couple
planning. One hour afterwards the
traveller heard the approaching footsteps
of his enemies the man in front with
his axe, and the woman holding lamp
in one hand and razor in the other.
As the robber entered the room, the
traveller suddenly tore the axe from his
hands, and knocked him down senseless
at one blow. Then the woman few al
the falling body, who's ehead she severed
with razor, little thin king she was kill,
ing her own husband. The traveller flew
from the house, and made deposition
before magistrate, and it is said that
the woman is now in jail"

THE WORKING PEoPLE.-The strike
of the railroad employees, at Scranton,
continues, with no prospect of agree
ment between the laborers and their
employers. In New York, the Marble
Polishers' and Rubbers' Society, num-
bering 800 members, contemplated a
strike for higher wages. They now get
$3.50 day, and will demand So.

The house Of E. A. vogler, of Salem, N. c.,
says the Peoples Press, has shipped this season
one thousand barrels of dried backberries,
worth about 100000 The price has advanced
to Is cents per pound. Owing to partial fail
ure Of the crop, the dried fruit trade of that
place will be rather limited this year. The
lem we give, however, is enough to show how
a people may turn to account not only the fruits
of the orchards, but also the berries and fruits
that grow spontaneously in their woods and old
fields. There is no estimating the value of these
small crops that are allowed to waste and ro.
each year.

ADDOJntment.

We learn that the Hon. Darius NJ. Star
buck having declined the Judgeship to
which he was elected, the Governor has ap-
pointed John M. Cloud, Esq, of Surry
county, to fill the vacancy.
Judge Starbuck was nominated for the
position without his knowledge, and he
never agreed to accept. He would not de-
cline the nomination; lest his action might
have been misconstrued by some of his Re-
publican friends. The appointment of Mr.
Cloud was warmly endorsed by the Repub-
lican members of the bar in his District
The appointment is good one, and will
give satisfaction to all who are interested
in the administration of justice.
