A fearful murder was committed near Mon.
treal, 'ew nights since. Mrs, Foster, who
kept clearinghouse at the Lachine June.
ton, was found murdered in the morning
and, as she was known to have had $500 the
night before and a Norwegian boarder named
Lea was missing, the object and the perpe-
traitor of the crime were clearly indicted.
Lea was captured the next night, after am ex-
cnng chase, and part of the stolen money
recovered. The soes of his feet were toun3

once. 1t appears that he approached Mrs

retiring, and struck her fearful blow with an
axe, which dasked out her brains and caused
Instant death. He then cut out the pocket

w ~ uisedse III pulmonary
complaints have been strengthened at every step.
Ifs perfect fey, nationality, and success have be-
come so apparent throughout the country that the
public are no longer satisfied with the old routine of
dosing the stomach with drugs and tortur-
ing the poor sufferer with croton oil, blisters and al
manner ofirritants upon the surface of the chest
This course is needless to say is not only cruel
but fatal in it's results, oil past experience has am
ply proved. Every days observation confirms the
belief that medicines taken into the stomach, far
from exerting any curative action upon the Lungs,
they only to weaken the functions of digestion
and lower the vital powers, which the already ex-
| hausted and enfeebed condition OF tho system can
poorly afford to bear. Ii we would be successful in
our treatment of Consumption and other pulmonary
| complaints the enemy should be attacked in his
! stronghold. The disease must be treated through
the lungs and not the stomach. Uncertainty requires
no argument to convince any that remedy when
applied directly to the part Affected in the lungs
must be more eificacoas and certainly curative than
when applied to the stomach, where disease exists
In the practice of medicated Limitations, the lungs
not only receive daily indications, but the air pas
sages are rendered free and pervicus to the air. aud
thus the respiratons daily become deeper and full
and the quantity of arinspired is proportionally in
creased, The result is that the lungs once more re-

est amount OF comfort aud relief is sure TO follow.
This Is subject which is at the present time excit-
ing almost universal attention, and as a rational and
scientific mode oftreating Pulmonary Diseases stands
unquestionably first and foremost among the discov-
cries in medicine of the present century.
In all our principal hospitals the practice is very
generally being adopted, and numerous cases have
| been reported as successfully treated.

the symptoms of the in writing, and the reme-
dies can be sent them by Express.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE NoToRIETY which
and Clalin family, Mrs. Woodhul was, on
Monday evening, the leading one of the
lady speakers before the New England re-
form league. This was right perhaps, because
she has not yet been proven guilty of the
charges brought against her; and her ability
is to decide whether she shall speak on these
occasions, and not her manner of living or hel
peculiar idea regarding the marriage question:
Nevertheless, these ideas are of interest to the
public, and it is well that they be understood
to some extent. Accordingly we copy from
Woodruff & Claflin's Weekly portion of an
arucle on the marriage question, written by
Stephen Pearl Andrews, the leading spirit Of
that journal:
Two dogs may hunt in couple with mutual
help and advantage; and it is not, perhs ps. We.
ry important whether one leads the Other. or
which leads, or whether the two 90 abreast.
All this may change fiom time to time with
increase OF advantage. But chain the two to-
gether by their collars and they gather obsta.

er's necks, blaming each other for the whole
1ault, and hnaily failing out by the way and
lighting each other instead OF pursuing their
game (of ie). The woman's rights advocates
have always made the mistake OF claiming, as
the great thing, the recognition of the equality
OF the man and the woman, or insisting. on
the other part, that the two should ALWAYS 90
abreast, not comprehending that the real
wrong was in the two dog collars and the
'tie" between the two dogs, which they, with
the rest, have combined to defend as necassa
Ty and to sanctify as "a divine institution"
Ihey nave not seen that what is wanted is
freedom. They have hacked the true sublime
faith IN the seii-re9ulatiye potency Of freedom

thing VIII be harmonious Oh that score. But
the best natured animals in the world will
lose their tempers and become Outrageous if
married or tied by the neck to each other.
This is not free love exactly but it certainly
proposes an adjustment of the marriage ser
vice and necessarily the broadest license be
tween men and women.

There is no doubt that four or five Senators
have prepared amendments to the treaty of
Washington. A number of Senators are pre-
pairing to deliver elaborate speeches on the sub

recent comments on the treaty both in Erg.

that the session will be prolonged for three or
four weeks The select committee on breach

FROM all the accounts we get of the doiDgs
of the taxpayers convention in South Caro-
lima, its course seems to be patriotic and wise,
and it is hoped that some good to the State
may be realized from its actions. A committee
of the convention had an interview of four
hours with Gov. Scott, Wednesday, which was
perfectly satisfactory to both parties, the gov
ernol promising to extend until March the
time for collection of the November tax when
ever necessary, and to appoint only good men
to office, while the committee pledgei their
support in preserving the peace ard securing
an efficient administration. The convention
adopted resolutions On Thursday, requesting
the Legislature to inaugurate system of pro.
portooal representation, TO retrench State ex-
penses, to prevent an increase OF the public
debt on any pretext and to amend the election
laws so as to prevent the wholesale frauds.
The convention appears to be strongly opposed
to any form OF reputation OF the legal debts of
the State; and Senator Robertson, who Ireach-
ed Washington from South Carolina, last
night, thinks that its effect will be to unite
both parties in an effort for financial reform
and the restoration OF public confidence.
