LATEST StW9 FROM DIR. LIVING
STONE

Sir ROderick AnrChi5On announces the
receipt of letters from the explorer Living
stone, written in October and December,
1867, ana dated at Marungu and Cdzembe,
places lying south and sOu-hwesterly-Qi
Lake Tanganyika
When these letters were written, Live
ingstone had been living for three months
with friendly Arabs, waiting for the close
of 4 natjye war before proceeding on his
way to Ujiji, and he told an Arab mes
sencer that after exploring Lake Tan
ganyika he intended % return 10 Ianzi-
bar. This is the frs, announcement
from himself that he inte[1s to Cpit
Africa by that route.
Sir R0derick remarks.
with the authentic data now before
us we may well believe that the news
which came ~ telegraph from Bombay,
dated OctobE 3, was perfectly correct
or. after Livingstone quilted the southern
end Of TaDganyika,, he viii have had
about ten months 20 explore the whole
course Of that Lake, and afterwari u

nary post from Zanzibar, whether by the
Ceychelles OF the Cape, usually takes SIX
weeks or mote to reach England, and
hence if my distinguished friend reaches
that place in a week after the departure Of
the steamer which carried the news h

elnpse before we can know Of bis arrival

TRAGEDYIN MEMPHIS.
4 Citizen Sbot-The wound Proves
Fatal

Great excitement was produced on Main
street, near Poplar, about six O'Clock IN lis
evening, by most terrible tragedy beng
enacted on the public street while 1t was
crowded with people. The Origin Of the
frightful affair is, TO certain extent, in
vOlged in mystery, but the particulars, 40
far As could be learned in-the excitement
which prevailed, are TO the following ef-
feet: 1t appears that Mr.. George Reudel-
huber, we'll known citizen of Memphis,
and Mr.. Daniel Z. Earle, a young man
about twenty-three years Of age, and ne
pheR Of Colonel John Bullock, attorney
st-law, met on the east side Of Main street,
corner Of Poplar. They were well ac-
Guainted with each other, and got into a
Conversation, and while talking an alter
cation resulted relative to the riot in the
morning at Grand Junction Reuielhuber
became exEspsrated at some rsm1Tk made
by Earle, and raising his fist knocked him
down. When Earle rose 10 his feet he
drew q revolver from his pocket, and
pointing the weapon at Reudelhuber, fired.
The first ball passed entirely through the
body of the uHfOrtunatb man, while the
second, striking him in the right side,
ranging upwards in the direction Of the
heart, inflicted a mortal wound.
EIrle was promptly arrested and taken
to the Adams street station, where he was
locked up.
Reudelhuber was carried into one Of
the adjoining houses, and DR.. Lynch vas
quickly in atlendgpce. lie at once pro.
nounced the wJgnd to be mortal, and
about eleven o'clock Reudelhuber died,
after suffering the greatest agony.
The deceased was a married man and
about thirty-four Fears Of age, and leHve=

An AFFECTING sCENErx COuRr.

For several days past John Doran, an
Orderly Sergeant in the United States
army, has been on trial for completely in
the murder Of Miss Ellen Hickg. at
Throgg7 Neck, WestchesteF county, New
York. Much sympathy was felt for Do
ran, who ia a fine looking fellow, and the
courtroom was crowded with men and
women during the trial. On Saturday the
case was concluded, the jury bringing in
a verdict of not guilty, when very affect
ing scene transpired. D0rah's wife and
two pretty and neatly dressed children, who
had been in attendance each day, were in
an ante-room. At ten minutes past eleven
the door of the jury room opened, the
Judges took their seat5 on the bench.
and the jurors entered aud took
the seats assigned them. After sheiT names
were called, in response to the question by
the clerk, "Gentleman, bow say you do
you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or
not guilty O.? the foreman arose and replied,
"NOt guilty" D0raG arose like 4 bolt
with an indescribIe expression on his face,
aud instantly the whole audience cheered,
clapped their hands and stamped their
feet in approval. A number Of his COM
rades who we're present Clasped their hands
around his neck and kissed him, and the
ladies in the gallery leaned o'e5 to look
down upon the scene, clappiug their hands
and waving their handkerchief. At this
interesting iunctara, Doran's wife en-
tered hurriedly, and crossing the
room toward him, was olasped in
his arms and repeatedly and atiectionately
kissed. A moment more and she appeared
to be seized with Mysteries, and began to
scream and swooned. Doran took her to a
seat and sat down with her on his knee
her head resting on his shoulder. She
seemed partially to recover, and in a shiili
