The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal says: The Cincinnati Wire
Pullers are announcing with much parade
the names Of those who they say are to At
tend. Among them find printed in one Of
the newspapers of this city the following, Who
are to 60 from Massachusetts: Elk Governor
Bullock; Mr.. William S. Robinson, Clerk Of
the House Of Representatives; Mr.. +. w.
Bird of Boston, President of the Bird Club,
consisting of several hundred influential and
wealthy members; Mr.. Samuel Bowles Of
Springfield, and Mr.. Timothy Davis Of Bos-
tor. This is Al ea:inently reputable list, but
l doubt whether more than one or two Of the
gentlemen thus announced will figure at Gin
cinnati.
| A milkman going his rounds At an early
hour on Saturday morning, entered the yard
of notorious trap kept by Patrick J. Bren-
nan, No. s. Friend street, Boston, and dis
covered the dead body of Q man, who. upon
examination, proved to be Patrick Kelley,
formerly sailor and latterly employed in .
furniture store on Washington street. APP
pearances indicated that deceased had either
fallen or been thrown from the window Of the
room which he occupied in the second story
of the house. Officers from the First Station
were notified. and arrested Kelley's room
mate on suspicion of having been concerned
in his death, and Coroner Ainsworth took
charge of the body. Daniel Auty, the party
| in custody, and who will be held to await the
result of an inquest, explains this affair by
saying that up to late hour last Saturday
night, deceased, who was formerly . seaman
on board the U. S. sloop-of-war Shenandoah,
and he were engaged in drinking lager beer
| in saloon under Gerrish Market, and that
they both went home much the worse for
drink. Auty retired and slept 90 soundly
that he knew nothing of the movements Of
his companion until informed that be vas
dead by the officers who aroused and took
him into custody. On awaking he found the
window of his room open and his companion
gone. The inference is that while in maud
lin mood he raised the window, fell out and
was killed.
The largest fleet of vessels that have ar
rived in Boston for some time past came in
on Saturday and Sunday, giving an aspect Of
life and activity to the harbor that was pleas
ant to witness when recalling the terrible
gales which have swept over the Atlantic
during the recent winter months. Over one
hundred sail of vessels have arrived since
Saturday morning, all laden with full cargoes
of merchandise-fromt the East and West In
dies, from Europe and South America, and
from coastwise ports. About 1900 tons Of
coal have been received by these arrivals.
Among other vessels that have reached port
is the barque Sicilian, of Boston, Captain
Percival, which was l07 days in making the
voyage from Messina. She was obliged to
put into West India port for supply of
water, but the vessel has received NO material
