An ALLIGATOR Story.

A southern corr orlespondent of the New
York Journal writes: A young En-
glishman, representing a Birmingham
hardware house, owning the Mobile
branch, started out with two friends on
fishing and hunting excursion on the
bay very near Mobile. In the course oi
the day there was an immense alligator
summing himself on log. One of the
party shot the reptile through where the
brain ought to be, and it rolled over as
if dead. The merchant insisted upon
taking it home to "stuf, you know, and
send it to England" They managed
after considerable effort, to roll it into
the boat, and though the boat was about
fifteen feet long, the alligator was little
longer. The Englishman sat astride OF
his trophy and commenced to row the
boat home, assuring his companions that
he would make them open their eyes in
Mobile and Birmingham at the sight Of
such monster. Meantime the alliga-
tor slowly recovered from his stupor, oc-
cssioHel 'hY the bullet in his brain, lifted
his head, took survey Of the Situation,
opened his jaws and made a break for
his captor Quickly seizing spread
umbrella from the hands of companion
he thrusts it into the mouth of the prize
The alligator became frightened, and
gracefully slid overheard, nearly upset
ting the boat. When asked to go alli-
gator hunting the merchant ReFaisN in
answering hat be has not lost any alli-
pators

The Philadelphia Price Current says.
Western distillers have recently invented
a new system of manufacturing whisky,
by means Of which a peculiar strength
and odor are impaired to the product
highly injurious to the health OF con
sumers and certainly not ereditasle TO
those engaged in its sale. Neither
the noxious ingredients themselves nor
the process OF manufacture are known
10 many outside the ring, but sufficient
has leaked out to shog the character OF
the men and the business, splpaSfic
acid is blended.with the mash o. eppllsd
directly to the products Of the stills,
which imparts a disagreeable odor 70 the
whisky: and so powerful is its effect
npon Il that it corrodes and eats up the
inside Of the barrels in which the foul
compound is kept. :,
Another feature OF this rot-gut, sold
under the name Of whisky. is that it
can not be extracted by any process OF
distillation or rectifcatiou. This fact
has causad its presence TO be traced IN
bignwines purchased from the West by
respectable distillers here, and prompted
them to shut down on the nefarions traf-
ic as injurious to life and the best lnteF-
ests Of the trade By experiment 1t has

SHOCKING SUICIDE.

NoRwALK. CoNN. September q. 1871.

NoRwALK. CONN. September 81. 1871.
A most distressing casualty happened
about one mile above town this morning
at six o'clock, arousing the neighbor-
hood, who awoke to find that terrific
explosion by gunpowder had taken
place. 1t was soon ascertained that it
proceeded from the house. of Mr.. VIM.
j. Mills, on James street, near the Silver
Mine road, and occupied by Horatio L.
Cook. On proceeding thi ther most
horrible sight presented itself The house
was literally rent in twain, its east end
blown out, the roof lifted, windows gone,
ceiling demolished, and all on fire. But
the most sickening siglnt was the
blackened and disfigured corpse Of poor
Cook, which lay thrown back, buried in
the burning debris. Mrs. Cook was also
found seriously injured, and in most
pitiable condition. Cra.zed by the con-
cusson, she was fran tically throwing
herself about in her light clothes, and
screaming for aid The first effort was
to extinguish the flames, which was soon
done, when. Mrs Cook was removed to
the house of neighbor. She furnishes
the following account of the circum-
stances preceding the affair:
1t is known that Mr.. Cook belongs to
family predisposed to insanity, and Ho-
ratio, when lad, WIS kicked in the head
by horse, from which he has no doubt
specially suffered He was in the insane
asylum at Hartford i two years, some five
or six years ago. During the last few
weeks he has been i'll from intermittent
fever and congestion Of the brain. In
consequence of this illness he had occu-
pied the largest of two adjoining bed
rooms, and Mrs. Cook the smaller one.
Just before daylight, he having chill,
called his wife up and desired her to lie
down beside hun. This she did, and,
falling asleep, he quietly arose and went
into her room, where, at the foot of the
bed, there had been stored keg about
half full of blasting powder, which he
used in his business as rock-blaster
1t would seem from the position of the
remains that he moved the keg out from
the bed, laid himself over it and touched
it off. Previous to exploding the powder
he had carefully gathered up all of
Mrs. Cooks clothing in the upper part
of the house, and thrown them down
the cellar with view of their preserva-
ton, thus showing entire delib Grafton in
planning his own destruction. To the
fact that the house was yer,y slightly
built and the windows up and the bed
room doors open may be attri buted the
almost marvellous escape of Mrs. Cook
the only other occupant of the house at
the time. This morning, wher we vis-
tied the premises, shreds Of bedding,
clothing and charred fragments of the
building were smouldering for many
yards about the house. The remains
are shockingly blackened and burned,
but not so badly mutilated as would be
supposed, but nothing so horrible and
sickening to behold has ever transpired
in this community since the shocking
draw-bridge accident at South Norwalk
in May, 1853. Memories of that event
are brought up by this awful occurrence.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.l

From the Montgomery Adyertiser.l
A negro preacher by the name of
Dempsey Morgan, living this year near
Gen. w. W. Aliens plantation, in this
county, delivered funeral discourse
over the dead body of old Uncle Burton,
about three weeks ago, in which he gave
an account of the Genesis of the (white)
species which throws Darwin, and all
of his vain philosophy of morlecular,
gemmular and atomic creation com
pletely in the shade. He said:
My bredderen, when Adam and Ebe
was fust made they was bofe niggers.
But de good Lord put dem in de garden
where he had his summer apples and his
winter apples, and tole EN-, Adam, you

steele all de Fowler apples. Ebe taste
de fust one, smack her lubly thick lips,
and quired of Adam, How is dat for

and den dsy went for dem Fowler apples
like the hetbiHg Chinese.
