direction of Mr.. c. c. Stearns of this city, in re-
Spouse to the wishes of many citizens of the
town, gave a repetition of the concert (given
some few weeks since,) Tuesday evening, May

sically and financially.

top of the Wachusett mountain, has safe
ly withstood the winds and storms of win

large portion of the state, while it watches

opposite height. No finer view can be found
than that from the observatory on the Summit
house. The family have not yet gone into the

COLLECTOR IN TROUBLE.
Collector Latham writes from Huntsville,
Ala, that there is a large amount of internal
revenue due in the interior and mountainous
country of his district which he cannot collect
in the ordinary way, and, consequently, several
of his deputies have resigned, and no response
bic man can be found who will undertake the
collection by diStraint and sale, because they
could not do SO and live safely in the country.
Therefore he asks whether or not he may be per-
mitted to go to the county assessors tax books,
and ascertain what the dclinquents have in the
way of property, and dstrain and sell property
at the county court house in each county where
distrain is made, instead of within five miles OF
the property so dstrained, as required by law.
The commissioner says: " | reply that your
request is declined. To grant it for the reasons
you stare WOulu De TO cOnceue tnat Lne laws oil
the United States cannot be executed in your
district. intend to collect the revenue of the
United States in Alabama, as | do in Massa-
chusetts. Appoint new delegates in place of
those who have resigned, and proceed with the
execution of your duties If you are resisted,
call upon the local authorities for aid, and if
this is not sufficient, telegraph to me at once,
and | will ask for troops to maintain your
authority and insure the execution of the law"
BOWEN.
Considerable commOtion was caused in the
Bowen bigamy trial to-day, by the production
of telegraph from United States District At
torn Davis of New York, with reference to the
alleged decree of the supreme court of that state
divorcng Bowen from Frances Bowen in 1865,
in which he says: 81 think tie whole thing a
fraud and forgery. Witnesses and proof will
come on tonight" Judge DIN increased Bowers

Bowen became his surety.

The Recent Mining Horror.


PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-The coroner's jury
on the West PittstOn disaster rendered a verdict
this morning, that: "The miners met their death
from the improper ventilation of the mine; that
when the breaker took fire there was no means
of supplying the men with fresh air; and that
the means for ventilation were not such as is re-
quired by the act of 1870" The jury, further
more, find negligence on the part of the en-
ployes of the company in not keeping portions
of the machinery properly oiled; and, further,
that the company had employed on the day of
the accident greater number of men than the
act referred TO warrants.
The verdict finds that Thomas H. Williams,
inspector of the mine, knew these violations of
law, but did not protest against them, and he
failed in his duty in not applying to the courts
for an injunction against operators. Williams
has strangely called together another jury to
hold second inquest, for the purpose of vindi-
eating him, and it is now in session. THERE'S no
law to authorize the holding of second in
quest, and public opinion here regards the step
as an effort on the part of the inspector TO white
wash himself The verdict of the coroner's jury
is cordially approved.

THE LAWRENCE TRAGEDY.-lt appears that
William r. Scott, one of the parties in the Law
renee poisoning case, lived in this city only
few weeks since. He is a young man of pre-
possessing appearance, steady and industrious
in his habits, and was while here, employed as
boot fnisher by Messrs. D. G. Rawson & Co.,
on Austin street. He came to this city about
year since, from Milford, where his parents re-
side, and whose hearts are lacerated by this
terrible affection. He is young man of fine
feelings, loving and affectionate in his DISPOSE
ton, and who was led to the rash act Of self
poisoning by the purest love for and attach
ment to one he desired for eartb's COM
panionshp above all others. He stood high
in the esteem of his acquaintance. and many
hearts will be saddened as they hear of the aw-
full tragedy in which he was SO Intimately and
unfortunately connected. For the benefit of
those of our readers who are not familiar with
tbe particulars, we condense the following from
the Lawrence American:

was enacted, by which young lady, eighteen
wears of age, Miss Emma c. Horne, daughter of
MIR. John ii. Horne, took arsenic with fatal re-
suit William Il. Scott, who was with her,
also took the poison, but escaped the conse-
nuences The family of Miss Horne are re-
snectable people, and formerly resided in Med
6eld. this state Young Scott had been paying
his addresses TO Miss Horne for about two years
in Medfeld, but met with no encouragement
from her parents, who were not disposed to la-
vor his visits The statement Of Scott Is that
the pirl proposed the deed to him, and that he
coDsented that he procured two ounces of
arsenic of an apotheeary, about nine o'clock,
and that they went TO the place where they were
afterwards found and took the poison. The yer-

year since by the glee club of Brown university.

Now this club has been increased the present
| year to chorus of twenty-five voices, which
| has been, since early in the spring, under the
| constant training of their talented and compe-
tent leader, Mr.. Elliott. Much of the time has
been devoted to the study and practice of Schil-
| ler'S cantata "To the Sons of Art" which will
form an important part of the programme at
the concerts the coming season, and will be ac-
companied by list of charming choruses, glees,
part songs, &c. In short, we believe the seec-
ton is such as will be exceedingly attractive
to a Worcester audience as well as any other
that may offer its attendance and appreciation.

The concert alluded TO above, as given one year
ago, was not very largely encouraged-by far
the greater portion of the audience being COM
posed of students who accompanied the club.
Naturally, then, they are timid about coming
again unless there is exhibited some manifesta-
ton of a cordial reception. If at all, arrange
ments must be made speedily, and we hope Wor-
