wards thrown out of a second story
window to create the impression that
her death was produced by the fall.
She was wealthy; and bad purchased
a fine house, the deed of which the
sou-in-law had had made out iu his
wife's name. Difficulty ensued in con-
sequence, aud with it murder. The

The New York correspondent of the
Hartford Courant writes that "a Gin
cinnati gentleman has lost 100000 by
being on the wrong side of Erie. A
heavy Western speculator who bought
six thousand shares of Erie at fifty,
telegraphed to his broker in Nassau
street two hours before the rise to let
it slide. He had held on with nerve
until the stock went down on his hands
to tbirty-six loss of $3.50 Hardly
had his instructions to sell been fulfilled
before the upward turn came, and in
less than sixty hours the stock for
which he paid fty-two was selling
above sixty"
The Governor and other officers of
Louisiana composing the Board to open
the returns and declare the result of
their 'clection," have thrown out be-

is situated. Notwithstanding this en-
ormous reduction of the Rebel vote, it
still remains in the majority. The
Democratic Congressman are all
''elected," excepting in the I'd District
and the vote for Seymour is still
1855 while that for Grant is only
