Madison Avenue Improvement.

3D." writes that the upper part OF Madison ave-
nue. has been graded and Is ready for paving and
lighting He states that the owners OF property
fronting on this avenue between Sixtyeighth and
Seventy second streets, have themselves made Q
contract for paving that section, and he hopes that
municipal authorities especially the Croton Board,
will at once contract for the paving OF the rest OF
the avenue. Our correspondent Is right IN suppos-
ing that with Madison avenue made passable FOR
vehicles Fifth avenue would be greatly relieved.
The Improvement suggested should be taken IN

From the Syracuse Journal, April
This morning our city was thrown into a fever OF
excitement by q thousand rumors OF O brutal stab
bing case just enacted almost at our thresholds.
From among the numerous versions OF the affair,
each exceeding the last in atrociousness, gather
these facts which are confirmed by reliable parties
living near the scene OF the inhuman affair.

Of hitherto irreproachabe character q short
time since introduced, on the premises OF himself
and wife, young female from the country.
Although they were never seen in conversation,
some tender lines Of the husbands were more than
suspected Of being In possession OF the new conner.
Affairs not exactly suIting the man, he had the
female conveyed short distance out of town, and
there taken care of at his expense, he calling
sionally to see her. This morning the acQuaint-
anceship came to terrible and traglca termination.
He was observed to enter barn with
her, and shortly afterward, person having
business in the building, discovered the
young female with her throat cut from ear to ear
and ner skull terribly fractured. The perpetratOr
does not deny the deed, and alleges that he
justify his conduct. Knowing as we do that the
well earned reputation OF family Is stake not to
be slightly regarded, We suppress his name for the
present. His victim is passed beyond the arena OF
the worlds praise or censure, and we may freely
communicate an we know OF her. We gather. that
she was quite young, OF rather bashfu or cowardy
disposition, and inclined to be Of silent and rumi
mating turn; this despondency is attributed to re-
lation Of hers having lately suffered death from the
halter.
