Little, the murderer of young White, at
Dix Island, shot himself less seriously than
supposed, and it is thought he will recover.
The report which has been current of jeal-
ousy of improper communication between
White and Little's wife seems to be entirely
unfounded. neither is it known that any pre-
vious disagreement had occurred between
the parties; but it is said that Little had
neglected to send money to his family, that
they had written to White making inquiry in
relation to what the former was doing with
his earnings, and that White had spoken to
him upon the subject. and by doing so cx-
cited his anger. Little will probably be in

Political Excitement in New Hampshire.

Concord, n. H., 8. The republicans and
democrats held their ward caucuses tonight
and nominated ward officers and representa-
tives to the legislature. The republicans
held large meeting last night, addressed by
General O'Brien of New York. The dem.
ocrats hold meeting to nominate candidate
for mayor Monday afternoon. Considerable
interest and excitement is manifested as the
candidate, Mr.. Kimball, selected by the re-
publicans on Friday, is unpopular with
large portion of his party, and the OF posing
candidate which is to be chosen has an ex
cellent chance for an election. The political
excitement here is at fever heat. All parties
are laboring strenuously and striving to turn
everything to political advantage. The re-
suit is doubtful and the State is very close.
No one pretends to have any definite knowl-
edge of the situation that can determine the
result.

The two or three fuglers of the self-styled
labor reform party, in making up, in some
back office, their list Of ward nominations,
have used without the shadow of authority,
the names of some of the most substantial re-

Dyer will appear on their ballots in his ward,
without any authority from that gentleman,

January 3lst, in the ninety.secoud year
Of her age.
On the night succeeding the funeral,
Mrs. Esther Heath, who watched day and
night beside the aged mother through her
illness and thereby completely prostrating
her nervous system was attacked by the
most distressing symptoms, and being
unable to speak, the physicians, four in
number, were unable to afford the slight
est relief, and in less than two days she
died also. Seldom do we witness an
event like this, SO painful, so sudden.
Her funeral was attended by many
sympathizing friends, and many tears
were shed by those unused to weep. The
husband, j. W. Heath, has lost faithful
wife, and his children devoted mother,
one OF which is in Kansas, never dream
ing it possible that so great an affection
is prepared for him.
