Rev. Mr.. vibbert, pastor of the Unvcrsaist
church, East Boston, who has lately returned
from Europe, will have reception ut the church
this evening.
The selectmen Of the town of Brookline have
offered reward Of $4,000 for the arrest of the
murderer of Kate Leehan. This, with the $1,000
offered by Boston, make n reward large enough
to attract our best detectives.
The last person arrested for the murder of
Kate Leehan is a half crazy man, who has de.
clared himself the perpetrator, but no credit is
given to his rawlings, and the affair continues Il
mystery, The hair which was found in the hand
of the murdered girl, and which, it was hoped
would furnish some clue to the murderer has
been pronounced her own. The only means OF
identification now remaining to the detectives,
IS the furnace wrench found near the place OF
the murder.
William Lloyd Garrison has written a letter
to Judge Pitman, showing him that the public

with which the republican party seek TO precede
more prohibitory legislation than now
exists and which must first be ere public senti-
ment can be brought TO its safe support. Mr..
Garrison can see no good whatever that can pos
SlblY arise out of the prohlbltioniStS opposition
10 the republicans, but much injury 10 the com
mon cause of temperance, and cannot see how
the most earnest advocate of prohibition can
justify himself in throwing a scattering vote for
