A Terrible Tragedy.

ELMIRA. N. Y, January ia ter
rible tragedy occurred in the town of
Wayland, Steuben county, this morn
ing. A Mrs. Mary Hess shot and in
stantly killed Mr.. William II. Lewis,
doing business in Wayland. He CALL
ed upon her on business, and she met
him at the door and shot him dead.
She then proceeded to the residence
of her brother, Mr.. Warren Northrup
some half mile distant from her own,
and asked him to come out of doors,
as she wished to speak to him private
ly: He declined to go out but invited
her into the house. and led the way
into bedroom, she following closely.
Just after he entered the bedroom
door, she placed revolver to the back
lof.his head and fired, the ball passing
entirely through his head. She then
closed the bedroom door, and turned
towards son of Mr.. Northrup, who
was in the sitting-room; but, before
she could fire upon him, she was
seized and the revolver taken from
her. Mr.. Northrup lived until four
o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs. Hess was taken into custody,
and upon being interrogated as to
why she had committed this double
murder, she replied she would learn
Mr.. Lewis not to be the cause of SO
much talk as there had been about
her.
1t is stated that she had not been on
friendly terms with her brother. The
circumstances of the case are being
investigated by Coroner Smith, u
Bath. !. -

The Convention recently. held in
Philadelphia for the purpose of pro-
curing an amendment of the Federal
Constitution recognizing God and the
Christian religion, was not of the most
harmonious character. The question
came up whether it was desirable to
embodv the name of GOD or of Jesus
Christ in the Constitution. Part Of
the delegates were opposed to the
former, for it would make US appear
nation of Deists. So when the prop
-osition was made by Bishop Nell
vaine, they hissed, and defeated athe
measure by heavy vote. In a sub-
sequent speech; one of the members
put the whole question in nutshell,
as follows: "A AT present, rejecting
the authority of God in our Constitu-
ton, we are nation of Atheists, if
we adopt the resolution of DIR. Nell
eaine, we become Deists if we abide
by the report submitted, re stand be-
fore the world as CQristidn nation ?
The report was accordingly adopted,
and is to be laid before Congress.

A RADICAL PET.-Week before last
the youngstown Vindicator gave an
account of the shortcomings of one
of the shining lights of the Radical
party in that city, one DR.. f. s. Whits-
lar, dentist, preacher in the Disci-
pie Church, President of the City
Council of Youngstown, leading
Radical politician and bitter opponent
of the Democracy, who capped the
climax of his career in that city some
two or three weeks before by eloping
therefrom TO, parts unknown--oaca-
stoned by the consequences of too in
innate relations with young woman
who had no moral or legal claims to
his affections. He left his family,
consisting of a wife, a daughter
(young LADY, and two sons to their
fate, after taking all he could frem
them.
Is. The Ti,adicator Of last week an
nounces that DR.. Whitslar returned
on the Saturday previous, and that his
singular conduct is accounted for on
the plea of insanity, and he still holds
his position as member and Presi-
dent of the City Council and, though
crazy is regarded by his Radical
friends as fully competent to make
laws for the third revenue city in
| the State"

FIRE.--On Wednesday morning, be-
tween ten and eleven O'Clock, the
alarm of fire thrilled the hearts of q
portion of our citizens with fesrs of
dire calamities. The occasion of the
alarm was the discovery of flames is
suing from the roof of the dwelling
of Mr. A. G. Faatz, near South Water
street. BY the timely discovery and
prompt action, both on the part OF the
fire company and the citizens, the
house was saved, though somewhat
damaged. The building was flooded
with water, and the contents thereby
considerably damaged. The fire orig
mated from defectiye .1ue. Loss
covered by insurance. e II ?
Since writing the above we learn
that son of Mr.. Faatz, about ten years
old, lying i'll with scarlet fever, was
driven from his bed by the torrent of
water that descended to the sick room,
and that the exposure caused him to
become so much worse that he died
on Thursday evening following. The
family have the sympathy of the COM
munity in their misfortunes and be-
reavement.-Kent Bulletin.

There are but about thirty-two work

they have an immense amount of
business before them undisposed of.
The Senate's general order shows q
total of three hundred and forty-two

some of which have been hanging
ever since the first session of 1869.
There are one hundred and sixty-two
private and personal bills, such as PEN

road land grant bills and seven for
grants in aid of canals and irrigation

for steamship subsidies. Besides
these, there are scores of other meas-

Gus projects, nomlnally belonging to
the district or the Territories, or, as in
the case of the bill for the Tehauntepec
Railroad and Ship Canal, to carry out

WITHIN PARIS.
A Dreadful CONDITION of Affairs.


The Besieged Resident" of the
London Daily -Neaos in Paris, in order
to form an opinion as to the condition
of the poorer classes, went into some
of the back slums in the neighborhood
of the Boulevard de Clicky. His re-
port is as follows :~=gta
The distress is terrible. Women
and children, half starved /: were seated
at their door steps,, with hardly clothes
to cover them decently. They said
that, as they had neither firewood nor
coke, they were warmer out of doors
than indoors. Many of the National
Guards, instead of bringing their
money homo to their families, spend
it in drink and there are many fami-
lies, composed entirely of women and
children, who, in this land of bureau
socracy, are apparently left to starve
while 1t is decided to what category
they belong. The Citizen Moltu,1 the
ultra Democratic Mayor, announced
that in his ACCOMPLISHMENT all left hand
ed marriages are to be regarded as
valid. and the left-handed spouses of
the National Guards are to receive the
allowance which is granted to the
legitimate wives of these warriors.
But new difficulty has arisen. Lett
handed polygamy prevails to q great
extent among Citizen Moltu's admirers
Is lady who has five husbands enti-
tied to five rations, and is the lady
who only owns one-fifth of National
Guard to have only one-fifth of ra-
tlonf These are questions which the
Citizen Moltu is now attempting to
solve. A few days ago Mdme. Ham
lin was discovered dead in bed, in a
garret of Belleville, of cold and starry
atiau. Her husband had been, under

stantinople. went to see yesterday
what was going on in the house of a

last time he ad presented his ration

teriously round to see that no one

Preserving HAMs.-We append a
receipt for preserving hams, which is
said to be the best extant: After
hams have been smoked, take them
down and thoroughly rub the flesh
part with molasses, then Immediately
apply ground and powdered pepper,
by sprinkling on as much as will stick
othe molasses, when they must be
hung up again to dry. Hams treated
in this manner will keep perfectly
sweet for two or three years. This
must be done before the fly deposits
its eggs, for after that is done nothing
will stop their ravages. -

An exchange says: Small bills
should be promptly paid. The men
to whom they are due generally need
the money. The little bills are the
ones that make numberless gaps in
the world of business. How much

spending business men, and encour-
agement generally, would be given to
the payment of all little, and perhaps
half forgotten obligationsl Pay
small debts and do it at once. -
