The UTICA u. W TRAaRpY-Wky Ms. Nc
Cory SHOT al Mr.. Thompson and KILLED Mr.. Hail.
We have already published the account, which
Came by telegraph, of the shooting in a street
car IN Utica, y. u, few days since, OF two
men by Mrs McCarty. She exchanged some
angry words with Milton II. Thompson, who
Was accompanied by II. III. Hall, coal dealer
OF Ogdensburg. She suddenly drew q revolver
and shot at Thompson. The ball passed through
his face and pierced Halls heart. The latter
fell dead in the car, but ThompsoR's wound is
not considered dangerous. The woman was
arrested. The Albany EresiRg Journal saws
"1his Mrs. McCarty is no other than the "female
physician" Of this city, known as Mrs. Bur
leigh, some of whose professional work has
given her considerable notorety within a few
months past 1t seems that she travels about
under different names-generally "Burleigh,"
but sometimes Seymour" and, as in Utica,
"MeCarty." The police of Utica have tele-
gr$phed fer her general character, but have no
other particulars of the shooting than is given
above. 1t seems there was a cause for the quar-
rel With the man Thompson, whom Mrs Bur-
leigh attempted to kill. Some three years ago
he enticed her into q state room on one OF our
steamboats,. The result. she claimed, was A
daughter, now living, and she began to black
mail Thompson. Among other valuables she
ObtainedfTOm him was a house she occupied in
Howard street. Having then refused to con-
tnue his benefactiOns, she informed his family
OF what had transpiTed. Upon this, Thomson
iOfeClOsed the mortgage on the Howard street
house, and on last Monday the woman became
houseIeSs. She at once proceeded to Utica, and
this murder is the result. The man she intended
TO Kill will probably live. Aninnocent man was
killed"

The Columbus correspondent Of the Xenia
Gd:ette states the following incident in the life
of John Sherman:
80 His first appearance before the public land
have it from good authority was at the Phil
adelphia convention that nominated Gen. Tay-
lcr for President. 1t happened in this wise {:
lie was delegate to that convention; when in
the organization ii came to the election of a sec
rotary, JUDD e -, also an Ohio delegate, arose
III the convention and said that the Ohio dele
cation had young man in il whom he desired
to nominate for that position; that if eIecte il
would probably be the only official position he
would ever hold, as he said he hailed from a
hopelessly democratic district. He was unani-
mously chosen. A delegate from Indiana NOM
mated a young man from that delegation, for
assistant secretary, and made a similar speech
concerning him, and he was chosen. Schuyler
COlfax and John Sherman met each other and
shook hands for the first time, at the secretsry's
desk"

The CALIFORNIA SECRET BALLOT.-
According to the requirements of the
law, as passed by the last legislature of
the State, the ballot is printed in long
primer capital letters, ION paper uniform
in size, color, weight, texture and ap-
pearance, twelve inches long by four in
ches wide, and folded crosswise four
times from the center, so as to make the
ballot ree-fourths of an inch in size,
and pressed fat
The law also provides that ''no bal
lot must be used having any mark or
thing on the back or outside thereof,
whereby it might be distinguished from
any other ballot legally used"
Also, that "all erasures of names of
candidates, and substitution of others
must be made with a led pencil or with
common writing ink. All other erasures
or substitutions will be rejected"
This does away with pastors entirely
No person is allowed to exhibit The
contents of ballot within 100 feet o
the pools, nor request another to do so
under the very severe penalties of tn,
code.

The romantic adventure of Mr.. STAN
ley may well afford theme for song
They have inspired poet, who gives US
the following touching lines on the part
ing between DR.. Livingstone and his
young American friend:
From the shores of Tanganyika,
From the Lualaba waters,
From Wajowa and Mirambo,
Wanyamyembe and UjJi,
Also Unyanyembe,
And the mighty Thingumbumbe,
Come the sounds of bitter sighing,
Come voice of utter sadness,
And 'Oh dearing' and 'Oh my-ing,
But nary note of gladness
For they are gone and went and parted,
Separated, broken-hearted,
And they'll never meet no more
This side of fair Jordan's shore,
For those happy days are o'er;
Aud anent their sad adieu
Breaks the natives wild boohoo
Boohoo boohoo!

Judging from the newspapers out West
the human ear-crop grows to an immense
size. Thus an editor says brother con-
temporary can wag his left ear. Then
the editor who is accused Of wagging his
left ear, says the accuser has to cut Sits
in the rim of his hat to make room for
his ears. Another man out there uses
his ear for a napkin. Another can fan
himself with his aural appendages and
still another employs his ear for an UNI
brella The champion earist, however,
is an editor who wears several reefs in
his ears to prevent his treading upon
them as he walks along the street

moving his lips mechanically, and fun
bling with rosary which be held. The
sheriff and others then shook hands
with the wretched man and murmured
words of hope in his ear, but lie gave no
response.
The crowd gathered around the VIC
tim and INDUCED in coarse and inhuman
jests in the hearing of the unfortunate
man. Such was the morbid curiosity of
the men of Brooklyn to witness an exc
cution that this lager beer deputy sher-
iff is said to have sold tickets of admis-
sion at the rate of dollar each. What
ever truth there may be in this there is
no denying the existence of the inordi-
nate desire to get within view of the
horrible exhibition, and the indecency
exhibited by these savages when in the
presence of horrible death. Terrible
indeed it was for, whether the duputy
sherriffs were laboring under the same
unsettling influences as their lager beer
patrons, or whether they were naturally
brutal and unskillfnl in the performance
of their beastly work, they did that
work in the most disgusting manner.
In the first place, when Rogers, ac-
companied by his clergymen, took his
stand under the gallows, he tainted, and
while still all unconscious they half put
on badly fitting execution cap upon one
side of his head and face. and then, ad-
justing the rope, swung him up, uncon-
scious as he was of the terrible treat
ment to which he was subjected. Then
after the unfortunate wretch had swung
and writhed for few minutes, and for
moment ceased to struggle and writhe,
the pot-house politicians, who gained ad-
mission by tickets, cried out that he had
crooked, and to take him down.
He was let down and was found by
the attendant surgeon to be still inger-
ing in terrible existence. Then they
cried to jerk him up again, and he was
jerked up. Thus they let the unfortu-
nate man flop down, and then jerked him
up again three several times, as if they
were so many vicious children amusing
themselves with puppet made of rags,
instead of officers of the law inficting
capital punishment upon human being.
The doomed man on the night before his
execution, summoned an undertaken of
his acquaintance, and arranged with him
about the interment of his remains, ad-
ding that he knew the grave-digger
would be glad of the job.
The undertaken assured him with tear
full eyes that he would not, and, in fact,
would be better pleased if some of his
brother craftsmen got the job. Both the
undertaken and his future subject had
good square cry over the very strange
and very affecting situation, after which
the dying man expressed his frmness
in the determination that whatever ben
eft accrued from the last act of his life
drama should be reaped by his friend,
and it was so arranged. This morning
the undertaken took the body after life
was pronounced to be extinct The po-
litical bummers went away indulging in
coarse jests, and pronouncing the execu-
ton a ''frst-class scratching match, "
which they wouldn't have missed for any
money: and all this in the proud City
of churches.

FRESH BLOWN FLOWERS IN WINTER.
Choose some of the most powerful buds
of the flowers you wish to preserve, such
as are latest in blossoming, and ready to
open; cut them off with pair of scis-
sors, leaving to each, if possible, piece
of the stem three inches long cover the
stem Immediately with sealing wax, and
when the buds are a little shrunk and
wrinkled wrap each of them up separate
ly in piece of paper perfectly clean and
dry, and lock them up in dry box or
drawer, and they will keep without cor
rupting.
In winter, or any other time, when
you would have the flowers blossom, take
the buds at night and cut off the end of
the stem sealed with wax, and put the
buds in water, wherein little nitre or
salt has been difused and the next day
you will have the pleasure of seeing the
buds open and expand themselves, and
the flowers display their most lovely col
ors and breathe their agreeable odors.

CHARITY over the record of an enemy who
wroneed us; ever so when we come to
