Saratoga county, New York, is throw
into a terrible excitement BY the revelasio'
of one of the most damnable plots for vif
murder ever ventilated. The Troy Tina
gives the following particulan:
Little more than week ago Isaac G.
Lansing, q farmer living in Hslfmoon, veal
wet 70 Euy sheep. Lmnediaiely aAer hi
departure horrible cory bsAne whispered
about. the suIstance of which was that be
had barRaiDed with man to murder his
wife during his absence. When Mr.. L. re-
turned. he found the rlmOf Wa rife in his
neiehborhood, and at once commenced q suit
for Islander and obtained an order Of arrest
against Abram Devoe, Of Crescent, the an.
thor Of the story.
Upon being arrsssed Devoe at once madea
criminal complaint against Lansing for plot
ting the murder Of his own wife, upon which
Lansing w~ ars.igned before Justice CEan,ef,
of Waterford. The examination Of Laming
was at once proceeded with. Devoe sweas
that more than q year ago LAssiss ap-
preached him with complaints Of trouble in
his family, and . proPoeid0a to Devoe to
get his wife out of the way for . consiaera-
ton. Devoe says he received othe
proposition fayorably, and that on the
strength of il he has n varioals times re-
ceived favors from Lansing in the shape of
fre-wood, etc, and small alms Of money.
Deyoe also disclosed the nature of the EHop0-
sition to several persons, telling them that he
intended to make use Of il 70 get considera-
bic money out of Lansing and finally expose
him. As Devoe's story goa, about two
weeks ago Lansing told him that he was
about to leave home for several days, that his
wife would be alone in the house, which is
quite isolated, every night With their two
small children, and he wanted the business
done then.
Deyoe relates the details Of Instructions
which he received from lansing. how to en- !
ter the house through = certain insecure win
dow, how 10 make his entrance noiseless,
where to find his sleeping wife, how to find
certain jewelry and silverwMe in various
parts Of the house, which he was to take
away, aad thus make it appear that plumber
was the Object; also, how to rob neighbors
"olind" darker, and finally how Lansing
cautioned him to make no mistake and
mot harm the children" but to make sure
work of it," Then the blood money was
paid, the sum being sos, and the develish
business arranged. Devoe tells his story in
such minute detail, and connects 50 many
collateral facts and outside parties incident
ally with it, that before the investigation is
oIosed it cannot fail to appear that Devoe has
Told an ingenious lie, or Lansing ought to be
hung. The examination was adjourned to

eaten forty, If the truth had not flashed
across the mind of the shopkeeper. For
these offences he was constantly committed to
the house of correction. During his last i'm
prisonment he was taken i'll; got worse and
worse, and at last began knocking violent
double knocks at deaths door. The doctor
stood beside his bed, with his fingers on his
pulse. "He is going" says the doctor, Il see
it in his eye" "There is only one thing that
willkeep life in him another hour, and that
is-oysters." They were Immediately got.
Dando swallowed eight, and feebly took a
ninth. He held it in his mouth and looked
around the bed strangely. "Not bad one,

his head, rubbed his trembling hand upon
his stomach, bolted the oyster, and fell
back-dead. They buried him in the prison
yard, and paved his grave with oyster-shells.

A WEAK OFFENCE.

The democratic defence for the democratic
robbery of the city treasury Of New York,
consists in undertaking to shift the response
bility to the old board Of supervisors, but the
Times answers this as follows:
The attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the
public about the "new board" and the sold
board" the "new system" and the "old sys-
teIh," will fail-because everybody knows
that the new and old systems were substantial
ly alike, in having Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly
and Hall as their leading spirits. No wire
drawn technicalities about "Boards" can GOV.
er up the great facts that Tweed, Sweeny,
Connolly and Hall are responsible for the
frauds disclosed in the warrants we have pub
lished. These are the men who ought to he
held to account. They have had many dupes
and CONFERENCE.-The they are the chief cul-
prits, and it is they who ought to be brought
to justice. No successful attempt can be
made to disprove the accuracy of our quota
tons from the Controllers books, but the City
authorities hope to divert attention from the
issue really at stake to all sorts of irrelevant
topics. Among the most unworthy of all the
pleas put forward are these: a. All men
would have stolen had they been in Sweeny,
Connolly and Halls places. CO. The Radi-
Gals are just as corrupt as the Democrats.
The first of these arguments we summarilly
dismiss as that of scoundrel. The second is
entirely unsupported by proof, and if any one
will send us proofs of corruption in any quar-
ter, as clear, as unden;able, and as inexcus-
able as those we now publish, we will prin,
them as prominently IS we have printed Con-
nolly's accounts, no matter against whom they
tell. But general accusations, without a par
ticle of proof, only convict the man who
makes them. We are against corruption
wherever it exists, and now the Democrats
who pirate about "Radical stealings," and try
to change the questions and persons under
trial, are invited to come forward with theiI
proofs.
The people will judge for themselves wheth-
er the Democratic Party can survive with the
Tammany milestone round its neck; and
whether it is desirable to place men like
Sweeny, Oakley Hall and Connolly in posses
sion of the national Government-an event
which, to all appearance, would certainly hap
pen if the Democrats succeeded at the mex
Presidential election.

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude of the
Evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepare
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. R. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been q sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than o
quarter Of a century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without q possibility Of injury.

The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. 1t removes
dandrutf, prevents the hair from falling off,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, Dr.
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. It is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
