More Murders i'm New York.
IFrom the Chicago Tribune.]


New YORK, March I9-ParticuIars of
three fresh murders are developed to-day.
The most distressing case is that of a Ger
man saloon keeper named Feyert, who
killed his wife, the deed still being par
tial mystery. revert was probably crazy
from continued drink. neighbors testitvlng
that he lived on good terms with his wife
The poor woman had been confined only
nine days ago. and when the bullet crashed
through her brain, she was just entering
the room with cup Of coffee to sober up
her maudlin husband. who, tor some unex
planned reason, had previously borrowed
pistol from an acquaintance. One story Is
that he was swapping the pistol to show 1t
was unloaded. The moment his wife fell
he seemed to become sober, and falling on
her PROSTATE body, embraced and kissed
her until his face hands and garments were
covered with blood. revert is reported
insane to-day. Three children are left
notherless By this horrible affair.
The killing of Samuel Calvert, the oldest
keeper in the House of Refuge. on Ran
dall's Island. though committed by a boy,
Justin Dunn, only sixteen years old, was
one of the most desperate in the record CT
prison murders. The deed was deliber-
ately planned in the spirit of revenge.
Dunn being one of the most refractory

cells, all complied except Dunn. Calvert
attempted to push him in. when Dunn sud

shock threw the keeper over and Dunn's
first thrusts missed their mark. Some of
the boys attempted to rescue Calvert, but
Dunn, by a furious effort. rushed again at
the fallen keeper and made terrible cash
in his leg, sundering the femoral artery
and causing death in four hours. De-

Important to Bounty Claimants
BENEFITS of the Act Extended

The PROCLAMATION Of the President OF
the Sd of May, 1851, followed by the
general order of the. War Department
dated May 4, 1861, called for thirty
nine regiments. in all 42,034 men, and
promised 500 without limit Of term Of
Service. On the I'D of July, 1851, Con-
gress for the first time passed an act
legalizing the proclamation Of the Pres
ident and order Of the War Depart
melt. Some 81 these soldiers who had
served but a month or two, and honor
ably discharged, made application for
bounty. The claims were rejected by
the Second Comptroller on the ground
thetas there had been Legislation be-
twesn the I4th of Nay and the 9Th Of
August that the act of the 9Th Of Au-
gust was designed to affect only what

and Us the act Of July %, 1851, required
two years service to give the soldier
title to bounty, that the same conditions
must apply To The troops called out by
the proclamation of the President and
order Of the War Department.
The case was submitted to the Court
of Claims, who decided against the
ruling of the Second Comptroller, and
that the men were entitled to bounty,
which idecisiOn was affirmed by the
| S1preme Court. On proceeding to set.
tie the cases, however, it was found
that instead of forty-two thousand men
double that number had been received
into the service; and, as the law legal
lied only those called for under the
proelamaticn, Congress recently passed
an act giving bounty to all.

numbering about one thousand, are
ruined. In ElOushia and Eljadida

fBuying a Horse

First, acquire knowledge of horses,
so as to know a good horse when you
see one as a model There is more
money lost, and more honest men de-
trauded, insbllying and seilingef horses,
than any other product Of the farm.
For the last twenty years, / have had
all sorts and shapes of horses, from the
pony to the Shanghai, and the greatest
weight in the least bulk, is the animal
for service. "A horse weighing from
HOO to 1900 pounds, is large enough for
farm work, You must understand
what you want an animal for, before
you go to buy. One minute is long
time enough to examine the standing
points of a horse. These are: A good
lively eye, inclined to hazel, and a
pleasant cOuntenance; flat leg and
open foot; should set rather back, and
thin at the. .withers; a short back,
and no objection if it is slightly arched;
the proper shape of the, hinder parts
depends on what you wish the horse to
perform. 1aA s.efii - ''- .e.q sdi .'ail-
Iu The prevailing blemishes6 are blind
ness or weak eyes, ring-bone,s SPAWN,
hoof-beund, ;. curbed a. or = thorough
pinned, stfhed, &C., all Of which an ex-
pert observer will detect in on one
minutes time. The heaves is the most
difficult to Getect, as that depends upon
the treatment the animal has had for
the week previous. The thumps, or
palpitating of the heart, may be de-
tected easily, by moving and exciting
the horse, and stopping him suddenly.
As to the age Of the horse hurting him,
lat depends on how he has been used
until he is six years Old; sound then,
he is good for twelve or twenty years
service yet Judging the age ofa horse
|iby his mouth, is very uncertain You
can tell to a certainty within one year
until he is six years old, then you must
judge from general appearance. Some
judges rely on on the tusk, but some
horses never have any tuskA about the
same numbers of mares have tusks as
horses that have none. aT * - ,...
Some men will tell you that they
know the age of "a horse by the jaw, or
the wrinkles about the eye, or by the
the joints Of the tail. You might as
well say that you know the age Of a
man by the wrinkles In his face. This
wearing Of the teeth depends upon the
general health and lungs ofthe animal
Bad teeth follow diseased lungs,
In purchasing a horse, rely upon your
judgment, and when you trade, do not
ask neighbor, as every man ought to

prepared q curtain made of dark green

stripes were sewed,n to represent the

It was well calculated to deceive the

strange characters in the vicinity, they
might have operated successfully. On
passing the store, he noticed that the
reflection in the glass was darker than

four times. Receiving no response from
the inside watchman, his suspicion that
something was wrong was strengthen

that his interference had been too long
