The New York Money Market.

"The Money market is sufficiently easy att

NEW BRUNSWICK.
A Young Man Murders his Sister and
Commits Suicide.

The telegraph has mentioned the recent ira
eedy at st. Stephens, n. B., where young
man named INNS murdered his sister. attemp ed
to kill his mother aud then committed suicide.
The main facts connected with the affair are
given as follows, in letter from Calais, Mel
"Inns had been absent from his home or
birth place about twelve years, most OF the time
atsea, until about three months ago he returned
to make his mother, and brothers aud sisters
visit. Several days alter his arrival, he invited
his sister Adde, lovely and highly esteemed
young lady, to take walk with him. She
accepted his invitation, and they came on to
the American side aud down TO the lower viii
lage he desiring her to continue on with him
down to Eastport, thirty miles. She mistrusted
something wIopg with him, and finally induced
HIM to turn back, pretending she was very
cold and must go home 10 get some more
clothing. Returning, they took the back street,
and at place where there were no houses near,
he stopped her and told her she must never speak
to that young man who had been paying atten-
ton TO her, nor to any other young man bat
himself. He made her get on her knees and
swear she would obey him in this respect.
They then went home and she made these facts
known TO her mother and other friends where
upon lnnis was arrested and sent to the Insane
Hospital IN St. John, where he has been con-
fined. until lew days since he was released,
upon the assumption that his mind had become
| entirely sound. He came from ST. John to
EastpOrt aud from there telegra phei his BROTHER
| TO send him some clothes, as he had made up
| his mind TO go to sea again. This was pro-
badly a blind to put the family of their
guard. On Monday afternoon, about three
o'clock, as Mrs. Innis and Addie we're sitting
sewing the daughter heard a noise in the
kitchen, and, getting up, told her mother she
would see what it was. On Opening thc door
she saw her brother, who, without speaking,
hit her in the forehead with batchet, cutting
cash some six inches long. She turned and
ran towards her mother, when he struck her in
the head, and then with one more blow out her
back entirely open. He then made towards his
| mother, but she ran, and as she passed by the
| window she saw him killing himself, which ne
nearly did with sheath knife, seVering himself
nearly in twain. A deep gloom overcasts the
| community as the young lady was a general
favorite, and was to have been married this
| week.

VEST VIRGINIA.
Tho ew Senator.

The Republican caucus of the West Virginia
Legislature have nominated Ex-Governor
Arthur ], Boreman for United States Senator;
and as the Legislature has a Republican majo-
rity, his election may be regarded as certain.
Governor Boreman has never been in Congress,
nor has he held any position which has given
him national celebrity; but he is the foremost
man in the history OF the new State of West
Virginia, and, more than any other, commands
the regard and respect of the Unionlsts OF
that Commonwealth. When, In 1868, the old
State of Virginia Was divided, and West
Virginia constructed, Governor Boreman was
chosen Governor unanimously. no vote being
cast against him. In 1864 another gubernato-
rial election was held, and he was again
unanimously elected, receiving l9,058 votes.
In 1866 he was elected for the third time. A
Democratic candidate was put up against him,
but he received 23,S02 votes to l7l5S for his
opponent, a majority of 6644. In 1868 he de-
ciined reelection, and now goes to the United
States Senate for SIX years, He succeeds Sena-
tor p. G. Van Wmkle, one of the seven Senators
who voted against the conviction of President
johnson under the articles of impeachment,
aud OF whom 1t is Said that he prepared an
inion in favor OF conviction and then voted
against it. Governor Boreman is in the prime
of lite, and is an active radical and thoughtful
Republican.
