Senator Wilson said good word Tor

How A DRUNKEN GERMAN KILLED
MS WIFE.-William Frevert, German
living at New York and following the
business of saloon keeper, killed his
wife in most shocking manner on Mon
day. He has been for some time one of
his own best customers, and about two
clock on Monday got so drunk that his
bar tender advised him to go home. He
accepted the advice and asked an ac-
quaintauce, Peter Latimer, to accompa-
ny him. Upon reaching his home in
Sixth street, he told his wife to get din
ner, and took his friend into the apart
ment used as kitchen and sleeping
room. Immediately after ente ing the
the room he hung up his overcoat on a
nail, and taking revolver that he sup
posed to be unloaded out of bis pocket,
placed it on table at the upper end of
the room. Two of his children were
attracted by the glitter of the silver
plating and began to play with the re-

MUTrLATED CURRENCY. There has
always been an impression prevailing
more or less that it is the duty of post
masters to redeem mutilated currency.
This has never been their duty, and the
extract below from instructions issued to
postmaster, under date of February
18th, 1872, clearly states the case and
the reasons therefore, as all will readily
perceive when they understand that
whatever moneys a postmaster receives
from the people, he must also pay to the
people. The following is the extract;
Postmasters are not required by law
to redeem or accept in payment as post
office dues, money orders, stamps or
stamped envelopes, any currency which
may be so mutilated as to be uncurrent,
nor is 1t any part of their duty to re.
ceive and transmit to the treasury, for
redemption, mutilated currency belong
ing to individuals, except as regular
mail matter, forwarded in the usual
manner at the risk of the owner. Such
letter II addressed to the Treasurer of
the United States, Washington, ID. c."
will be sent free of postage, but if the
same be registered, the registry fee must
in all cases be prepaid by stamps.
The necessity of the postal service are
such that all funds received by post
masters must be current and passable
money so as TO be Immediately available
for paying the drafts of the department,
money orders and expenses of the SER
vice.
The arrangements of the treasury de.
partment for the transmission and re.
demption of mutilated currency are safe
and liberal, and afford the public ample
means to convert uncnrrent United
States money into passable greenbacks
without unreasonable delay, and at little
or no cost"
In addition to the privilege of sending
mutilated currency by mail, free of post
age, the government have announced
that packages Of FIVE dollars and up
wards can be forwarded by express, al
their expense, under certain restrictions
Information upon this point can be haC
of any postmaster.

An association has recently been or
ganized in Indiana to secure suitable
monument for the grave of Abraham
Lincoln's mother in Spencer county, Ind.
which is now without even a common
grave-stone. The reason of this appar-
ent neglect was that Mr.. Lincoln always
intended to remove her remains to
Springfield, Ill.
A gentleman died recently in Buck
ingham county Va, who owned at the
surrender of Gen. Lee twenty-five me-
groes. Twelve of them left him, but the
other ten remained with and worked for
him until the day of his death, taking
fer their services jnst as much as he chose
to give them. AT his death, to show his
appreciation of their services and his
gratitude, he gave them his farm on
which they can all live comfortably.
There was terrible scene in the
Newark On. j. opera house on Friday
evening, during an amateur performance
for the benefit of local charity. Josie

gorical play called the " treat Repub-
lie" in leaving the stage when the south
ern states ceceded, passed too near the
loot-lights, when her clothing took fire
and she was instantly envelopedin flames.
She ran across the stage twice, causing
the greatest terror among the children,
whose dresses were of the same light
texture as her own, and communicated
the flames to the clothing of Hattie Ly-
on, aged is. Before pers,ns from the
audience could throw garments about the
girls to smother the flames, they were
both terribly burned, so badly that Miss
Coates is not expected to recover. The
scene caused panic among the large au-
dience. Several persons were injured in
the crush, and number Of women we're
carried fainting into the air.

Consistency has been reekoned as
jewel, but we observe that those "inde'
pendent republican newspapers so ~
tent upon investigations when there Is
the least probability of making a point
against the administration, are about as
SPARTAN as any of us, when it is pro-
posed to investigate the proceedings of
their senatorial friends.

SINGULAR CAsE.-The Town Board of
Hartland, Wis, resolved to have vac
cinaIion thoroughly performed within
their borders, and accordingly made
stipulation with well.known physician
OF Shawano to do the work. He visited
the town and vaccinated III persons old
and young. All of this entire number,
within six hours after each patient was
vaccinated were was taken sick, exhibiting
symptoms of having been poisoned BY
the next morning three had died; two
children of one family being among the
victims, and number more were not
expected to live. Very naturally great
CONSERVATION seized upon the community
and fear added still greater danger to
the situation of the unfortunate people.
Messengers were dispatched for medical
aid, and several physicians went to the
scene. BY the time they arrived there
the sick people had all begun to improve
and apparently needed little else than
stimulants to entirely recover. As near
as can be described, the arms of the pa
tients presented the appearance similar
to the results of snake.bite, and the
symptoms were those Of persons recover

ten seen, even in mountainous country.
There the snow is piled in drifts thirty
or forty feet high, and the beautiful
green grass is growing luxurientiy up to
and even underneath the snow. The hot
sun melts the snow, and warns the
ground, the melting snow irrigates the
soil, reversing the old adage that" May
aud November can never agree"
The climate here is peculiar and snb.

and excessive heat in summer, as for in

thermometer stood at 7S' at seven

p. NJ, it has risen to 1852 and during
the night fell 10 75o. The low temper
ature, though seldom below 22o is Sc
verely felt on account of the keen and
damp winds prevailing in the winter.
From the first of November, the time
the rain, reason commences, until May
it rains almost necessarily and often
times at the rate of one inch in six
hours. During the last three months,
there has been but six or eight days in
which it has not rained during the
twenty hours. May is clearing up

next November, we frequently do not
have drop The ground becomes parch-
ed and dry, the grass drys up, and the
crops follow suit unless properly irrigat
ed by artificial means. To remedy this
inconvenience, all cereals are sown in
January or February and by the time
the excessive dry season arrives, the grain
is ready to harvest. Wheat and oats
are the only cereals grown in this valley.
Hay is produced from them, as grass
does not grow quick enough TO mature
before the dry season comes on.
The weather during the summer
months is very hot, and as l before stat
ed sometimes reaches 1l6' yet with the
excessive hot days, the nights are cool
and refreshing, and one rises in the
morning invigorated and ready for the
battle with "Old SOL" but by eleven

Wild animals and game are not very
plentiful in the immediate vicinity of the
post but are quite numerous in the
mountains beyond. Grizzly and CHINA
mon bears are not often met with 10 this
rough and mountainous country, but are
occasionally. The black bear is found
in large numbers. Elk and deer are
quite numerous, the same may be said
OF the wild cat, and the large panther
called the Californian lion" A pecu-
liar ruffied grouse is plentiful, quail also
abound in season. Wild ducks appear
in numbers on the klamath river. Snipe
and pheasants are occasionally found,

in the neighboring streams. Hunting

BURNED TO DEATH. Mrs. Flanagan,
wife of Patrick Flanagan, of Belmont,
Westminster county, N. Y, went into the
yard to shut up her chickens, leaving
Mary, aged six years, Katy, aged three
years, aud Edward, aged Is months, in
the house. Mrs. Flanagan had been ab-
sent only few moments when hearing
screams she ran to the house. She met
little Katy coming out pursued by flame
and smoke. Mrs, Flanagan started out
the house with Katy, gave her in charge
to boy and started to rescue her other
children. But in passing out the door
closed after her, and a spring latch pre-
vented her from opening it. All the
other doors were locked. She burst open
the blind and leaped through the sash.
la doing so she severed an artery in her
arm, and before she could get to the
kitchen whence the fire came, and where
her other children were. she fell from
loss of blood. Some neighbors burst the
door and dragged her out more dead than
alive. The fire having gained such
Roadway the rescue of the children was
impossible, and they persisted in the
flames. Mary's body was found lying on
the stove, with head, arms aud legs burn
ed off Edwards body was found in
the cellar burned to a crisp. The in
FAINT was in its cradle at the time of the
fire, aud was there burned to death. 1t

bottom burned out into the cellar Its
supposed that the fire was caused by
Mary's standing in a chair beside the
stove and attempting to light lamp.
