THE MURDER OF MRS. PETERS.
Capture of the Supposed Murderer.

supposed
A person who is believed to be the one who
was seen lurking about the farm of Mr.. Peters,
SIX miles south OF Belleyille, on the day of the
murder of Mrs. Mary Peters, was caught In the
woods about fourteen miles south of Potosi,
Missouri on Friday last, by James ID. Arnold
and E. f. Quine, acting deputy sheriffs of Wash
ington county. Immediately after the arrest
had been made, the fact was telegraphed to
Sheriff Hughes, of st. Clair county, Illinois,
who in response telegraphed the sheriff OF Wash
ington comfy, Mr.. j. I. Clarke, to hold the
prisoner. On Monday Sheriff Hughes, accom-
panied by Mr.. Charles 7. Askins, of Centreyille,
went down for the accused, and brought him to
st. Louis yesterday morning. They then took
him to Belleville, where he was at once placed
in the county Jail.
The news of the capture soon spread through
the surrounding country, and hundreds of peo-
pie came In expecting that the preliminary ex-
animation would come off In the afternoon. A
large crowd of people congregated about the
courthouse, where they remained III late
hour in the evening. The murder was fully and
freely discussed, but no disturbance took place.
No definite time has yet been fixed for the pre-
liminaTy examination, which will probably mol
take place for several days. Precautionary
measures have been taken for the protection
and security of the prisoner.
Tue accused says his name is Joseph White,
and that he is twenty-slX years of age. Hs II

Horace Greeley for Texas.

The Departure Of the Great and Good
Horace Greeley for Texas.
At o'clock yesterday morning carriage was
driven to the Tribune office. A coachman and
a Iusset leather trunk lettered "H. g." sat upon
the box. AS soon as the carriage stopped, 1t
was seen by old Mr. Jenny, of the Tribune
editorial staff. Old Mr.. Jenny was of course
crazy until he had learned who the carriage was
for. A small boy told him it was for Mr.. Gree
ley, whereupon old Mr.. Jenny dashed up the
stairs leading to Mr.. Greeley room, and breath
lessly informed him of the fact that the carriage
was waiting. Mr. Greeley stopped writing, drew
his spectacles from his nose, put wide brimmed
hat on his head side foremost slipped his arms
into brown spring overcoat, leaving the collar
turned under, seized a small leather bag, and
sloped for the counting room.
''Tell Sam, said he to old Mr.. Jenny, mot to
take any lottery advertisements while Im gone,
and to watch the quack ads. I'm going to
Texas"
The last words reached old Mr.. Jennys ears
as Mr.. Greeley struck the sidewalk. On ap-
preaching the carriage, Mr.. Greeley stopped as
If he had forgotten something. Old Mr.. Jenny
saw him. He rushed to his side.
"And tell Wbitelaw," said Mr.. Greeley, while
his eyes beamed on old Mr.. Jenny, that he had
better watch Hassard's letters from Boston, for
he Is a Catholic, and he might say something
that our country readers wouldn't like. And
tell Whitelaw," continued Mr.. Greeley, as old
Mr.. Jenny was about to rush into the office,
''that want him to watch the papers and print
the official election returns from Alaska, because
our people expect to see them. Tell him to put
them In nonpareil half-measure, like the
election returns from Connecticut And,
Ephraim, tell Whitelaw, continued Mr.. Greeley,
as old Mr.. Jenny made another attempt to
dash into the Office, mot to print any more
id stuff about abducted girls or panel
houses. Our people have got enough of that
sort of thing"
The wide-brimmed hat and Mr.. Greeley were
safely deposited in the ticket Office. Mr.. Greeley
stared vacantly for moment at the ticke,
agent. Suddenly collecting himself. he felt In
four pockets consecutively, and then seemed tc
again lose himself in thought. After another
mental rally he pushed up through ticket or
the Pan Handle line for Cincinnati, and ap
preached Dick Shields the baggage clerk.

As they drank toast TO him, Thorvaldsen, who
sat on his right presented him with laurel

a bust of the painter. But Vernet would not
allow himself to be crowned; he rose, took the

head, and said, at belongs there" He then
threw his arms round the neck of the sculptor
and kissed him. The enthusiasm was indescrib-
able, aud the old Ruspol palace rocked in the
storm of reclamation and applause.

MARCH "a, 1871,

The state election, in Connecticut, will take
place, Monday, next week. The republicans
have made excellent nominations for state
officers and members of congress. Both parties
are doing what they can to succeed; and certain
democrats in Cheshire have done something
which they will be likely to regret. They Sc
cured possession of the voting list, after it was
made mp, sworn to by the board, and placed in
the hands of the town clerk, and drew ink lines
through the names Of twenty or thirty republic
cans. The perpetrators of this outrage will
probably be called to account forit. The repub-
licaus have voters enough TO elect their candi-
dates. We hope these voters will all be at the
polls. Their candidate for congress, in the third
district, WILL Of course, be elected and there is
hope thar they will elect Gov. Jewell, and, at
least, two other members of congress. The
colored men will appear at the polls as voters,
for the first time i'll Connecticut, next Monday.

which the other, with but Two legs left out Of

instalment of animals, some like gigantic leeches
and others like Oriental turbans, and all effect
ing locomotion by stretching and pulling them
selves into every conceivable shape, settled
down and fell to RECALLING themselves upon the
