ING Shoes Mrs. Clarke took her to shoe shop,
where The man i'm charge said he was not in want
of any additional help, and Mrs. Clarke then
took her TO a house on Lowell street, Carrie
saws she very soon ascertained that the house
was not a reputable one, and attempting to leave
the door was locked against her, and three other
girls in the house did all they could to prevent
her from leaving the house. She was forced 10
remain until about ten O'Clock at night, when
she quickly slipped out of the door as another
person was leaving She made her way 10 the
National house where she told her story, and
was kindly provided for over night She has

An freshman named Michael Conway, an
operative at the Lowell bleachery, fell of a
bridge TWENTY-FIVE feet from the ground, on the
18th, and received severe fracture OF The skull
and other injuries. He was carried TO the st.
Johns hospital. But little hopes are entertained
for his recovery.
VIM Emerson, who committed the indecent
assault upon Miss Whitehead, in Lowell, III
April last, and who was placed under S3OOO Tor
his appearance before the police court, and was
subsequently defaulted for non-appearance, was
arrested in Maiden on the 14th. He is now in
Jail, where he will remain till February next,
when his trial will take place.
The latest intelligence from the scene Of the
tragic occurrence in Lttleton represents the
woman, Mrs Heating, as being still alive, and
her confinement hourly expected There lsYery
little prospect of her recovery. While convey
inc the murderer to the almshOuSe-sOmc three
miles from the farm of keating-Constable Rlch
had occasion TO stop at his own house Tor rev
moments and some changes were made IN the
carriages accompanying him. Heating awaited
himself of the opportunity afforded him TO eS-
cape, and was on the point of making oil when
be was detained and his wrists and ancleS Sc
vcrely manacled. The report that Heating was
intoxicated al the time OF Inc lDuFuGI IL COutla-
dicted by those who were first on the spot. He
has not been in the habit of getting intoxicated,
hut while subservient to his Superiors he is rep
resented as brutal in bis treatment OF his horse
his cattle and his family.
On the day that Heating, the Littleton muir
derer and suicide, attempted to kill his wife and
destroy his own life, search was made for the re-
volver which he used. 1t could not be found,
and it was supposed that he had thrown il INTO
the brush Of its wood pile, but, on the l4th, Mr.,
knowlton, who was temporarily in charge OF
the premises, resumed the search in the cellar
of the house, where, beneath a cider barrel, he
discovered a vest, in which was rolled up the re-
volver 1t seems hardly credible that Heating,
after shooting himself, should have gone into
the cellar and hid the weapon, and then rcas-
cended to the kitchen, where he was found
cr0uching in Il corner. But such is unquestion-
ably the fact. The wife of Heating was alive on
the 10Th, and exhibited more favorable symp-
toms. She is suffering from fever, and several
days must necessarily elapse before the ply
stefan can decide whether she will live OF die.
Heating still remains at the almShOuSe. No
time has been fixed for his examination. When
questioned as to his motive for attempting to
DESTROY his wife, he replied, "She veXcd me;
she wouldn't serve me" In other words, she
wouldn't milk the COWS and chop wood. Mrs.
Heating lived seven years in the family of Mr..
Waters, and during her whole term of service
she was never known TO utter an unpleasant
word. She is reported to he of Il mild and
peaceable disposition, while her husband is the
reverse.

spermaceti, nor Of boats, whaling gear, or arti.
cles specially intended for use on whalers neitb-
er are concerns included the value of whose an
nual productions is less than $1,000, The Mer

much as it settles thequestion that manulactur-
ing can be carried on even in New Bedford, and
mat large portion Of the prosperity Of the city
depends upon its manufacturing interest. I'm
less some unforeseen calamity occurs, the next
census OF manufactures will show great in
