Murder i'm the Arctic REGIONS,

Since Capt. Hairs return nom ths Arctic
expedition, reports. have. been circulated
about the mutiny of his crew in, Repulse
Bay, in July, 1858, and at other times. One
of his companions on that expedition, Mr..
Peter Bayne, has made AFFIDAVIT before the
British Consul, disclosing the facta. The
expeditionary force had been on short ra-.
itions several weeks, and Mr. Bayne, the only
man among them except Capt. Hall who
carried firearms, was sent into the interior to,
!, shoot game. On the 31st day Of July, 1868,
be shot o deer and sent Patrick Coleman
with it into camp. Coleman stayed away
from camp longer than the Captain thought
he ought, and the result was verbal dis
pute., Coleman excused himself by saying
that he was weak for want Of proper nour--
ishment; and was unable TO- carry such
weight any quicker. Capt. Hall then went
to Mr.. Bayne and took away his rifle, and
after placing it beyond his reach, retnrned
to his attack upon Coleman with loaded
revolver. Hall asked Coleman whether he
intended to be dutiful or otherwise in the
future, and upon the latter assuring him that
he could not be more 80 under the circum-
stances, and that he thought Hall was impo-
sing too much upon the men under him, the
Captain deliberately shot HIM. Coleman
fingered in agony fifteen days and died. 0 A
years pay was due him, which be directed
to be paid to his sister, Mrs. Griffin, suppos5
ed to reside in Hoboken, The British Con-
sui has promised to call the attention of the
American government to these facts and ~
have Hall arrested. j,neiy.4rii7a ..po r.,

A Man Killed with his Own Trap Gun.
2 The danger and inhumanity of the prac-
tice Of setting man traps whose operations
will be attended with fatal results Is illustra-
ted in the following occurrence cOn Mon
day last Mr. Thomas Fl. Field, a retired
merchant and resident of New Rochelle, was
killed instantly and in most singular man.
iner. II appears that Mr.. Field had been
greatly annoyed of late by trespassers, who
entered his grounds almost nightly, and RIB.
bed his grapery ofits choicest fruit. Find
ing it impossible by ordinary means to stop
the evil, be purchased two shot guns, which
he loaded heavily, and then placed them in
the hennery, with the muzzles protruding
from loopholes, and pointing directly to.
ward the graperies He then attached wires
to the raised triggers, leading to the vines,
and SO arranged that trespassers must shoot
themselves. On Monday morning Mr.. Field
found his grape vines and the trellis which
had supported them Frustrated by the storm
of Sunday night, and he proceeded to get
them into their proper position, and in SO
doing, it is supposed, came in contact with
one Of the wires attached to the guns. An
explosion followed, and Mr.. Field was in
stantly killed. About fifteen or twenty of
the large shot passed into the head, neck
and shoulders Of the unfortunate man. l5die
