BGy~ From the Tribune we learn that
Prof. s. ID. Gaylord has been engaged to
take charge of the schools in Mineral Point.
This is thought to be good move. The
professor comes well recommended, and
will doubtless bring the schools up to a
much higher point than they have hereto
fore known. The same paper also says f:
"The amount collected by the M Echurch
society of this city, for the missionary
Cause, during the past year, is $2,2I3, an
excess of $495 over the year preceding,
and the largest Of any station in the West
Wisconsin Conference. This, in addition
to the ten or twelve thousand dollars raised
to build their new church, is munlfcent Z;
and speaks volumes for the zeal of the So
eiety in their cause

say The latest from the Spencer-Brees

E1yH The latest from the Spencer Breese
case, is that Mr. Spencer, after spending a
couple of weeks canvassing the state, and
comforting with his particular friends, has
concluded to withdraw ogain, which leaves
the field clear for Mr.. Breese. This is the
only course left for him. The confidence
the people had in him has been betrayed,
and is gone; they cannot trust him fur
ther. But one paper in the state could be
induced to support him after learning the
particulars OF his defalcation-the Racine
Adoocate-a paper whose editor is sore
head and a disorganizer; who will
have the man he supports up, or will OPP
pose all others, and, because Sup't Craig
did not exactly suit his notion, has left his
name off the ticket. We were Of the cpin.
ion from the first that the Central Commit
tee had acted just right, and after seeing
everything that has been written on both
sides, we are decided that it was the only
thing that could be done. Mr.. Spencer
had done wrong in using money for over
two years which by right belonged to the
state, and should have been in the treas
ury, and Republicans are not the men to
elevate to more responsible offices, men
who have betrayed them in subordinate
positions.

g9~ The Democrat is particularly anx-
ious that Mr.. Campbell should be defeated
in this district for Supervisor. 1t urges
the people to vote for David Mcfarland, so
that the democrats will have a majority on

board, democratic clerk, and democrat

near their own way. Let the republicans
of this district look to the interests of the

eY- T. S. Ansley, after announcing
himself as an independent candidate for
the Office Of Superintendent of Schools,
and afterwards getting the democratic
nomination, has withdrawn from the field
and Mr.. Parks is left without an opponent
The reason for this appears to be that
Ansley had an idea, that Mineral Point
city would vote on the subject, and thought
to gob5e some votes on the strength of his
personal popularity(?} and local prejudice,
but this matter being settled against his
wishes he withdraws, and it is uncertain if
any opposition will be made to Mr.. Parks
election. 1t appears to be the general
opinion that move of that kind would be
useless.

DESERVED SUCCESS. Mr.. jeff W. Rewey

and not without some pecuniary risk,
erected a large, commodious store on one
of the prominent corners in that village,
and filled it with goods to an extent seldom
eoualled in country store. Ii fact it has
more the appearance of some city estab-
lishment; but nevertheless has a full
stock of EVERYTHING, and his sales are not
insignificant, for they have reached $l5,-
600 the past season. Mr.. R. is an accom-
modatihg gentleman, and is immensely
popular. He kindly took US through the

The OF the Executive was marked with
courtesy, and every opportunity was given to those
who desired to change his views From the day OF
the verdict he has seen no evidence to shake his
faith in that verdict. Every human probability has
asserted the guilt Of Twtchell.
In the case of Eaton strong appeals were also
made.

Special Despatch TO The Eoeni,lg Telegraph
CHICAGO, April "a despatch to the Times

murder which occurred on Wednesday morning
in Oakdale township, ten miles from that city.
farmer named James b. Grey, well known in
that section. in fit of insanity killed his wife
and four children, the latter consisting of two
boys, aged eighteen and eight, and two girls aged
five and three years. The murderer was about
forty years old, large and powerfuly-built
man, and has many relatives in the neighbor-
hood lie has lately been suffering from deaf
ness, and grew insane over it.
The deed was committed about daylight The
neghbors heard Mrs. Grey scream, and going to
the house found the wife and four children cut
To pieces with an axe, and the murderer endea-
voring to hang himself. He was arrested and
lodged in the st. Paul Jail, where it required
three or four men to hold him. In answer to in
quires he would only reply, 81 killed them all
with an axe. Oh, hang mel" The wife was
murdered first being cut in the head and
stabbed several times. The children were then
murdered and placed in n row on the fioor their
throats so badly cut Us to nearly sever the heads
from the body.
The murderer had evidently chopped their
heads with an axe, mutilating them as to rem
der recognition almost impossible The pri-
soner, Mt intervals of the paroXysms of maniacal
fury, made a statement detailing the particulars
of the murder. He says his motive was that he
feared he was coming to poverty and the family
would be left destitute, and so thought it would
be better to send them to heaven ut once. The
prisoner tried to beat his brains out several
times by jumping against the sides of his cell.

DeveIopments-Mrs Twitchell Made No In

HARRISBURG, April 9.-Several facts OF into
rest have transpired in reference to the Eaton
and Twitchell tragedy. Ii is found on inquiry
that Mrs. Twitchell had never said or written n
word to Governor Geary in behalf Of her hus-
band. On one occasion closely-veiled woman
called at the Executive department and obtained
an interview, in company with female friend.
The friend spoke a few sentences in favor of
Twitehell, but the yelled woman, who was after
wards represented to have been Mrs. Twitchell,
remained both yelled and silent during the short
interview.
The only appeal made by Twtchel to the
Governor was the following

There Is considerable activity in financial quar-

The banks are not disposed to relax their CON
seryative course, though they are evidently
gaining strength by remittances of currency
from the interior. Az IL cannot be considered
profitable to keep their funds idle in the vaults,
we must presume that they find employment Tor
them in some way or other. Inc applcauoAs
made to them by regular customers are often re-
jected on the plea of non est whilst decided
preference is manifested for those OF the
brokers, TO whom currency is advanced appa-
renty on liberal terms. We limit ourselves TO
the bare fact. without attempting to account for
the choice. IL Is by no means so noticeable here
as In New York, but the simple truth Is that the
bulk OF the bank loans is taken by the brokers
when the commercial and business wants are
forced upon the outside market, where heavy
shaves are invariably inflicted.
The rates for call loans continue at about per
cent. on Government collaterals and at soy per
cent. on other securities. Mercantile bills con-
tnue at wide range, between 9Dl2 per cent,

A New Horror.

We have had many fire-damp explosions and
mine-floodings in England, and occasionally a
calamity of the kind in this country, but there
has never been as yet, we believe, an accident of
the nature occurring on Wednesday morning last
in the Nevada gold mines, at Gold Hill, in that
State. So far as the kilograms give any particu-
lars OF this terrible affair, the timber-works in
the shafts and cuttings of the Kentuck mine
took fire in some unexplained way, and thence
the flames spread to the Yellow Jacket and
Crown Point mines, with the result at latest dates
OF thirty-tiye of the unfortunate miners being
literally roasted to death underground. From
some OF the few details in the dispatches we are
inclined to suppose that, though the shafts are
not deep, the hosting machinery was SO entirely
destroyed In the first ravages of the fire as TO
haye a number of miners TO perish within very
sight of their companions above. AS the flames
were subdued in the Kentuck mine eight bodies
were taken out of the shaft and others were
seen at the bottom of the shaft. 1t is stated that
this ia the most dreadful calamity ever Occurring
in the Western mining regions, and IL might be
SSdded, or in any other in any part of the United
States.
