The ROCHESTER WIFE MURDER
The par ticulars of this case, as given
ny the Rochester Chronicle, exhibit 8
-ad instance of the wreck which a dis
olute wife makes of what might 9th
erwise be a happy home. The muir
derer, David Montgomery, Is about
twenty-five years old. his wife wa,
about eighteen. They had been mar
lied two years and half, but had
not lived together pleasantly, the wife
preferring the society of others to
that of her husband. He appears to
have done what he could to reclaim
her, provided a home aud the com
forts he was able, begged her to stay
at home with him and take care oil
their child, but all to no purpose. On
Saturday he again visited her, in com
pany with her uncle and aunt from
Bergen, who were here attempting to
reconcile them, and they prevailed
upon her to accompany him home
that night. Early on the morning Of
Sunday they awokc and began talking.
Montgomery desiring her to live a re-
spectacle life aud take care of the
child, and he would take care of her.
She replied, a am prostitute and al
ways will be one" Soon after he
arose from the bed, went to his faith
er's house and procured an axe, and
returning stood by the stove fully five
minutes, axe in hand, looking at hi,
wife; until seemingly driven to mad
ness by his thoughts, he raised the
weapon and with one blow drove ii
into her brain. The axe penetrated
fully three or four inches, and the
blood spouting forth drenched the
little child lying beside his mother
He then dropped the bloody instru
ment, and, seizing the child, rushed
to his fathers house, where he left
the boy and procured a razor. He
then ran across the street to his faith
er's barn, and climbing into the loft
attempted to cut his own throat. Ii
this, however, he was prevented by
his brother Robert Montgomery, who
happened to be in the barn at thu
time. David then commenced crying
when Robert carried the razor int
nis fathers house, and told him wha
had happened. Subsequently Davic
changed his dress, aud, stepping t.
the bedside of his dying wife, imprint
ed kiss upon her cheek. He AM
his brother then went out, locking tn
door behind them, and proceeded t.
the station house, where David SUI
rendered himself.

A MAN HANGS HIMSELF BECAUSE HIS
WIFE REFUSED TO Cook MUTToN FOR Sup
PER.-Joseph Brousseau, French Canadi-
an, aged 80, came home on Saturday
night about 8 IL o'clock, bringing with
him leg of mutton, a portion of which
he asked his wife to cook for his supper.
She refused, saying that the fire was out,
but added that tea, with bread and but
ter, was at his disposal. The reception
seemed to affect him badly, and he NUT
tered words which were soon verified in a
terribly tragic manner. IN eat no
more of your food said he, as he prepar-
ed for bed. He said his prayers and lay
down, his wife shortly after joining him.
Mrs. Brousseau states that she awoke
about 4 o'clock in the morning and was
startled at finding herself alone in the
room. She went to the kitchen, which
leads off from the bedroom, and found the
door INSTRUCTED. Becoming alarmed she
searched the bedroom and passages, but
seeing no signs of her husband. returned
to the kitchen door, and forcing it with
all her might managed to squeeze herself
in. Imagine the poor woman's terror at
finding the obstruction was neither more
nor less than the dead body of her hus-
band which hung by the neck to small
hook close to the door. She raised an
alarm, the neighbors ran in, and the body
was cut down, but life was extinct OF

ATROCIOUs Observation-Disclosures
Miller aud his wife were arrested 10
Jersey City last week, charged with
having wrought the ruin of number
of young girls. They keep low den
in that place. into which they entice
Young girls, and after keeping them
for a time, transfer them to the bagn-
los Of New York, receiving a fixed
price for each one. Five girls who
had been thus euticed were brought
as witnesses. 1t is estimated that
within a year the MillerS have accom-
plished the ruin of so girls who had
previously led yirtuous lives. Louise
Bennecker, a courtesan from New
York, was also arrested on charge
of having been engaged with these
wretches in their nefarious work.

The WAR CLOUD DARKENs.-The
news from Europe looks more war;
like. Russia is in earnest. She does
not intend to content herself with the
mere abrogation of that part of the
treaty of Paris which interferes with
her keeping feet in the Black Sea.
She means to send the Grand Turk
out of Europe, and has evidently made
up her mind to improve the present
unequalled opportunity.
Turkey, on her side, also made up
her mind weeks ago that war was GER
tain. Austria, too, shows no sign OF
shrinking from the contest. The on
ly doubt is about England. There the
peace party are very strong, and If
they could have their way the Govern
ment would make every sacrifice rath-
er than go to war. The probability
however, is that the British people
will not consent to such humiliation.
They will fight, and the Government
that shows the white feather will be
turned out of Office.
Ia such war the Sympathies Of
the United States will probably be or
he side of Russia, and for obvious
reasons. We cherish a religious pref
udice against the Turks, and have an
old score to settle with England. As
soon as the war is fairly going, the
ocean will swarm with privateers es
capped from American ports, in spite
of all the obstacles that Don Hamil
ton Fish may interpose. They will
proceed upon the principles Of inter
national law recognized AMI main
tanned by England in the case Of the
Alabama. 1t will not be the fortune
of each Of them to do as much dam
age to England as the Alabama did
to the United States but, upon the
whole, John Bull will probably have
to drink abou. as deep Of the cup o
punishment as he deserves. At the
same time, the commercial marine o.
the United States will be started
agaip by the chance which the wal
will offer US of taking our share once
more in the carrying trade Of the
world.-N 7. Sun.
