A Courageous Priest.

Father Thos. Farrell, pastor of St.
Joseph's church, New York, having
been invited to attend the late meet
ing in New York, to express sympa-
thy and joy over the completion of
Italian unity, and being unable to
attend in person, sent the folio wing
N My and noble letter, which we re
produce from the Cinci ..nati Gazette:
[ regret that / can not be present
at the meeting in favor of italian uni
ty. Italy divided has long been the
prey of the foreigner AS l would
not like to see foreign soldiers on
my own native soil nor would I CON
slider 1t an evidence of the content
ment and happiness Of the people so
I could not wish to see Italy occu-
pied by foreign troops nor could
consider their presence there as Acc
ofding to the old theory and practice
of European ms tions, people may be
given and taken away without their
consent; All that must be charged be

they do not understand our theory

the great causes of human misery and
oppression will be removed forever.
That all men throughout the world

Two Men Killed by a Women
One Victim Her Brother.

From the Rochester Democrat. 20th
Information was received in this
city yesterday that double murder
had been committed in Wayland,
Steuben county. The circumstances
of this terrible affair, so far as they
have been sscertained, are these:
Mrs. Mary NJ. Hess, widow OF DR.. Ii.
III. Hess. left her home at an early
hour yesterday morning. and proceed
ing TO a place where she found VIM
Fl. Lewis, well known citizen of
Wayland, drew II pistol from under
her cloak and deliberately shot him
dead She then walked three quar-
ters of mile to the house of her
brother, Warren Northrop, which is
on her farm. and called him out of
dining room into bed room, pretend
ing that she wanted to transact some
business with him. They sat on the
side of bed together, and before
half a dozen words were exchanged
the sister drew forth a pistol and
shot her brother in the side of the
head, the ball lodging in the rear of
the skull. He died at o'clock yes
terday. After Mrs. Hess had com.
mitted the deed she coolly walked
out of the room into the road. She
was met by neighbor, who stopped
her and asked her what was the mat
ter. She replied not to interfere, as
her work was not done.
The woman who has perpetrated
this crime is known in this city She
is about forty years of age, and is the
wife of DR. Hess, who died in Way
land in 1859. He was a regular
practicing physician, ard had accum-
ulated large amount of property.
which he left to his wife. The moth
or of Mrs. Hess resides at Spring
wSter, n short distance from Wavland.
The family is respectable and well
kn own in Steuben county. DIR. Hess
has relatives living in this city.

TIE delinquent tax list, for Alien
county, occupies eight columns in the
Allen county Democrat of last week.
Democratic rule seems to render
it difficult for the people of that
county to pay their taxes Wgan-
dot Republican.
Well, suppose we can't pay our
taxes, why need you throw it up to
us. Don't we stand up like men and
let our property sell for taxes when
we have pockets full Of county orders,
which are not worth cent? Then
don't we sell our orders to men in
side the ring at heavy shave, and
don't they turn them right into the
Treasury to pay for our delinquent
taxes which they have just bought
up at the Delinquent Sale? Say? Is
not a wheel within wheel the incest
kind OF machinery, and is not ring
within ring the next best thing
Don't we all vote the Democratic
ticket. even if our houses and farms
do go for delinquent taxes ?-Lima

The Peeling in Paris-Price Of

lSnccial to the n. Y Herald


PARIs, January 13.-It it a signifi
cant fact that now, for the first time
since the commencement of the siege
| the question has been heard, GLOW
long can we hold out p People com.
mence to talk of cessation of thu
opposition, although professedly
only with the object of getting time
to recuperate, and then commence 9
war orrevenge. A feeling of distrus'
is spreading against those who com
mand and conduct the defense. 1t
is certain that at the present moment
Paris would accept a dictator joyful
ly if one could be found equal to the
situation. The fault of Gen. Trochu
is lack of self reliance. Now that
news from the outside is scarce, he
hardly seems to know what to do.
Yesterday dispalchss were received
from Gambetts, but only to the 23d
Of December Though they give
fattering accounts of the condition
of the provinces, there is reason to
believe that information of a late date,
and from other sources, proves the
hopes made by Gambetta fallacious
Certainly, il no speedy relief comes,
q climax must be reache inside the
city. Either soruies must be made
on such scale on every side as will
throw all the hazard on single effort.
or capitulation sought for on the
best term obtained, or there will be
q terrible row inside the city. So
far as provisions are concerned, a.
though the reports show enough for
two months, yet few facts prove
their scarcity and the suffering of the
poorer class. For instance .- the
price to day are as follows: Rabbi,
30 francs( 81 gold), chicken 55 francs,
goose 10 francs, turkey 80 francs.
butter 80 francs per pound, eggs g
francs, beet root $50 francs, dog
flesh francs per pound, prime parts
of elephant 20 francs and horse hesh
10 francs.
In addition to the hospitals. the
Churches Of ST. Sulpice and Oieion
have been partially destroyed by
shells. The Museum of Luxemhure
received 90 shells within few hours.
and its unrivaled conseryatories were
totally destroyed.
The evaporation Of the peoble is
80 intense that French victory now
would bring results fearful to contem-
plate. Since terday bread has
been made-of minimum quantities of
-four mixed with rice and other in
gradients, and there is rot sufficient
flour for bread after the 10Th of this
month.
The troops have received biscuits
for the last FIVE days in order to save
bread for the population. Horse
flesh will last yet thirty days. A
movable ambulance has been estab
lished iu the quarters reachsd by the

Stabbing EmUIrection.

The W ashrngton correspondent oil
the Cincinnati Gazette now gracious
ly couceeds that there is no ques-
ton of the Presidents honesty OF
purpose in regad To the San Domingo
scheme" He admits that "the most
active opponents of annexation do
not believe that General Grant has
auy other motive than what lie be
lieves the best interests of the coun-
try in the matter, but they DO think
he has been deceived by interested,
or illjudged advisers"
just SO PresidentGrant "means
well" d don't intend anything very
bad-onlv he is incapable of thinking
for himself, and is deceived by weak
and designing advisers, That is all

now that this point is conceded.
There has been deep and general
sc licitudc, lest the leader of our vic
to;ious armies and Chief Magistrate
of the nation turn out knace, and
To be assured that he is only a fool,
is a sensible relief:
Seriously, is this kind OF warfare
creditable to those engaged in it? Is
it the work of friends! Do people
speak thus even of those whom they
wish to savor? Does any intelligent
man suppose he is helping the case
of public officer, by thus to vindi-
cate his good Intentions at the ex
pense of his capabilities ? Is it less
damaging to the head of great
nation, to say that he is schemiDg
and designing. than that he is the
weak tool of the scheming and de

the Indirect mode by which N my
people seek to injure Others. Not
daring, as in this case to attack the
integrity of the party in question,

THE everts OF the past fortnight
have verv seHsibly improved the
standing of the Administration. By
perfectly fair aud natural means, the
President has come well out of two
difficulties which ST emed for a timo
serious. The publication of the Mot
ley correspondence has abundantly
confirmed the wisdom of the Presi-
dents action in regard to- our Minis
ter to England. and has even shown
that General Grant treated Dir. Mot
ley with the utmost delicacy and for
hearance that his sense of duty would
permit. Whereas two weeks ago il
was feared by even the warm friends
of the administration that there was
something in the Motley question
that would be difficult to clear up, it
is now conceded OH all hands that the
correspondence completely vindi-
Gates the government and eXOnerates
the President and his Secretary from
all but the highest motives. The
other victory of General Grant con
sists in the completeness with which
his choice of San Domingo Com
mlssioners has silenced the gossig
about his personal interests in the
scheme. There are yet many land
the Leader is among this class, who
doubt the policy of annexing to our
republic province like San Domin-
60, with it's barbarism and its un-
known debt, but there are very few
Who can honestly continue their sus-
picions that President Grant has any
sordid aims to be gratified by the
acquisition. Nothing could have
been more unfortunate than for the
President to have lost the respect of
his party, and the country will he
