A CASE OF TEMPORARY INSANITY
Yesterday afternoon W. II. Gordon,
proprietor of soda water stand on
East Broadway, became dissatisfied
with the presence Of woman named
Catherine Mcconnell, who was living
with his wife, and whom the latter
obdurately refused to expel. Gordon
yesterday renewed his demands for
the expulsion ofthe woman Mcconnell,
and high words ensued. Gordon
then drew a revolver ald shot his wife
in the temple, making a murderous
wound. He then shot the Mcconnell
woman in the elbow, and then he next
sent a ball at his little son, cutting
off a piece Of the boys nose. Sup
posing he had completed his murderous
work effectually he presented the re
volver at his own breast and fired
The ball lodged above the heart, in
flicting severe but not dangerous
wound. He then fled from the house
but was captured by the officers. Mrs
Gordon will probably die.

1--WE are NOT surprised" says the
New York Tribune, ito find every
body speaking Of the present Prus-
sian campaign in France as a won
derful affair. In fact, it may be said
that, from a military point of view,
there is nothing at all comparable
with it in the military history of Eu-
rope since the development of great
army establishments two or three cen
turtles ago. Even the most successful
campaigns Of the First Napoleon are
far less extraordinary than the pres
ent campaign of the PrussiaHs-in
which victory has followed victory
from Woerth to Rezonville. In her
war against Austria, four years ago,
and in her present war against France,
the campaigns of Prussia deserve to
be styled wonderful andunparalleled.

dertaking for young man who began with

things than this. Seven years ago he came
to Lowell, and had not then learned to

himself Independent, by learning to read
going to school some and using his leisure
hours for study more. He has read the
bible and modern church history with care,
besides keeping up well the news of the
day. Except while gone to Kansas, to
make himself sure that man need not go
West to live, he has kept busily at work
for good wages, such as his attention to
business will demand; and saved enough
to start off with payment thatgives prom
Use of success. May he and the wife, of like
mind, he has taken TO himself, realize theil
highest hopes, and be a useful example Of
what one can do-if he tries.

to unite with him in calling a council to
advise regarding his dismission. He con-
siders it best that they be at liberty to pro-
vide themselves with preaching while he
shall rest from speaking for months to
come that his lungs may gain their strength
and tone, lost by use when hoarse from
cold. He is confident and assured that
chiefly time and rest from speaking are the
factors of a perfect recovery; but is also
confident that too much time may be nee
essary to make it safe for the church to
wait for him.
