A Whole Family Murdered.

Capt. Patty, of the schooner Flirt which
arrived at New York, Wednesday, from
Martinique, reports the massacre of a fam
lily of ten persons, named Fougier, in the
French settlement at st. Peters on that
island. 1t appears that Marie Berthenny,
wife of John Fougier, had inherited six
millions of frances from John Berthenny,
Bordeaux, France, but which had been
contested by Louis Berthenny, heir under
the will, and, after long litigation, desid-
ed in her favor. Fougier had refused
to compromise in France, and it is sup
posed the Berthenny had plotted the mas
sacre of the entire family, in order to
obtain possession of the property. Ber-
thenny and two accomplices were arrested
and sent to France.

A late number of the Des Moines Qowa)
Register says:
"a singular case of railroad obstruction
and one for which no remedy is provided
by the statutes, occurred a few evenings
since on the valley road in Greene county.
Conductor Livingston's train, when about
three miles this side of Grand Junction, in
passing through some low country and near
q pond, ran into an immense flock of swan
brandt, geese, and other wild fowl. The
birds were just about to alight on the track
as the train drew near. Their number was
80 great that the sky was filed with them
and those above pressing down on the
lower strata, forced them to alight on the
car tops. The engine, tender and cars
were covered with the fowls, and some
even clung to the bars Of the cowcatcher.
One stately swan had wing injured in
the crush, and found a resting place on the
headlight, from whence he was taken by
the engineer. The bird, however, managed
to escape from custody near Perry, and
jumping from the tender wherehe had been
tied, disappeared in the grass. The raid
continued several minutes, quite number
of the aerial army being run over by the
train, and some half dozen being captured
by passengers and train men. AS soon al
the birds ON top Of the flock began to un
derstand the situation they scared away
followed by the entire covey. Livingston
says it was the biggest crowd ofdead-headl
that ever tried 10 board his train"

Horace Ereeley's Estimate Of

Horace Greeley, the Democratic candidate
FOR the Presidency, wrote the following re-
garding his present adherents, as his esti-
mate OF the elements which went far To make
up that party:
The World recently gave graphic ac-
count of the dens and dcnizens which cave

'sllnns' OF our city--a class, perhaps, lower

whether the pugilists. blacklegs, thieves.

imously Democrats?
\ purely selfish interest attaches the lewd
ruliianly, criminal, and dangerous classes to
the Democratic party.-Hogace Greelcy. Ja7,u-

That he fully knew Of what he wrote, and
perfectly understood the whole matter. is
proven by the following, which we clip from
the Washington Daily Chronicle, of August
"a, 1872:
A gentleman travelling on train going
into Pittsburg day before yesterday, feeling
