some pretty sentimental songs and the contortior

well worth the seeing. The same performances

A SPECIAL SEss1oN.-The reason given by
Morgan and Schenck for calling the Republic
can members of Congress together on the
third Monday of September, shows that the
Radical leaders are still in quandary as to
the expediency of special session for legis-
lative purposes before December. They pro-
pose that members meet on the 2lst inst
merely to provide for keeping the door open
for such a session if party exigency should
demand it. 1t is certain that if things had
been going favorably in the sight of Morgan
and Schenck, those sentinels on the watch
towers of Radicalism, they would have agreed
to an adjournment to December by the pre-
siding officers Of the two Houses. The noti-
fcation which they have given is signal OF
distress

HORRIBLE CRIME IN COENEcTIcUT.-One of the
most horrible outrsges that ever occurred 10 the
New England States took place on Saturday 10
the town of Dsnbury, Conn. Mrs. Russell Wild
man, a most lovely character, and the wife OF
one of the most respectable men in that locality,
was the victim, and an unknown negro, crimi-
nal recently released from the States prison. Is
supposed to be the guilty author of the tragedy
According to the testimony of q little boy. VINO
was witness Of the transaction. the negro spoken
of applied for admission into the house OF Mrs.
Widmsn at about O'Clock in the morning. when
the lady was alone and helpless, her husband
being absent in another portion of the town.
He first asked for food, which was given him.
BE then possessed himself of q loaded musket.
and threatened TO take Mrs. Wildmsn's life, ~
case she refused to submit TO his beastly en-
braces.
She fell on her knees before the black demon,
but he was relentless He forced her back upon
the couch in the ROOM and then succeeded in &C
complaining his desires. Not content With having
ruined his victim 10 this manner, the man then ia
dertook to take her life.
Her cries for help, however, frightened him
from the attempt, but not until be had succeeded
in Rouging out her right eye, 80 as to deprive It OF
sight forever
Having gone thus far, and gloated over the
beautiful form he had 80 blsckened and de.
stroyed he fed from the house and took to the
woods.
The alarm was soon raised and the adj AGENT
forest secured by regularly organized bands OF
men. bat thus far without success.
Mrs. Wildmsn is not expected 10 live from the
brutal treatment she has received. The entire
community is wild with excitement, and the sable
wretch will probably be strung up the moment he
is caught.-IN. Y. Democrat.

The SPIRITS AT THE WHITE HoUsE-lMr. Lincoln
Redppears ia Laughter.-The Washington cor
respondent OF the Baltimore Gazette, writes:
1t appears that the spirits " will not down,
even at :" executive bidding, but have again in
vaded the White House, and this time the audience
chamber Of the president. Under the escort OF
Col. Tom. Florence, the editor and proprietor OF
the Constitutional Union, Mrs. Daniels, the Boston
medium, visited the executive mansion Few
DAYS since and sought an interview with his ex-
ceency. Col. Tom. is himself a first-class spirit
ualist aud be was but too happy to present the
fascinating medium to Mr.. johnson. HIS card, as
usual, was tslismanic and the presidents mshog-
any door soon opened for the admission OF the
gallant colonel and his companion. But no sooner
was the door again closed than the president was
startled by the well-remembered horse laugh OF
the " late lamented Lincoln with the words from
the lips of the entranced medium: I" Let hm
laugh who wins" What could 1t mean? There
was DO mistskiDg the laugh, the manner, the ex'
preston. Col Florence swesrs 1t was Lncoln's
own laugh, and the president recognized Il, and
was dumb with astonishment. +" Let him laugh
who wins" said the spirit OF the martyred pre-
sident :" and his coarse good natured laugh again
rang through the presidential mansion. What did
IL mean! All there's the rub Mrs. Daniels ex-
planned not, but said Mr.. Lincoln wanted to have
long talk with President johnson on important
matters of State, but would seek another oppor'
tunity when the president was less occupied with
official duties. Before leaving Mrs. Daniels was
presented with magnificent bouquet. In partial
remuneration, perhaps, for the thrilling souvenir
she had left Of " the great martyr"
