A SINGULAR CRIME. Rarely has a
crime more horrible than that of the
murder of Miss Hamill in Williams
burgh, l.. l., been committed. So far as
it appears from present evidence the
murdered women, having large sum of
money with her, visited a friend-ope
Mrs. Merrigan-with whom she had long
been on terms of intimacy. That friend
strangled her with cord, occupied dur
ing the night the same bed with the body
OF her victim, and in the morning satu-
rated the bed and room with Kerosene.
and set 1t on fire in order to conceal her
crime. The nerve, no less than the
tendish cruelty of the murderess excites
our amazement as we'll as horror. The
victim was curiously eccentric young
woman. She was educated and rich, and
yet appears TO have had no friends ex-
cept Mrs. Merrigan, who, before her final
crime, had stolen money from her-a
fact which does not seem to have affected
their intimacy. The case is certainly
curious one. in whatever aspect we may
view Z. 1t is said that Mrs. Merrigan
befefe setting fire to the room containing
tf2 murdered body of Miss Hamill
moved her furniture into an adjoining
room in order to save it from being de-
stroyed. Mr. Merrigan stated in an in
terview that his wife had been subject to
fits, but he did not consider that seri-
Gus matter. Once she had fall, the
effects of which she complained of as
hurtful, but beyond this he knew of
nothing the matter with her mentally or
physically. 1t is thought that the plea
of emotional insanity will be set up.

A True Incident.

By LUCY H. HOOPER.
All night long the baby voice
Walled pitiful and low;
All night long the mother paced
Wearily to and fro.
Striving to woo to those dim ewes
Health giving slumbers deep;
Striving to stay the iutt'ring life
With heavenly balm of sleep.
Three nights have passed-the fourth has come
Oh. weary, weary feet
That still must wander to and fro
Relief and rest were sweet.
But still the pain wrung. eeaseless moan
Breaks from the baby breast,
And still the mother strives to soothe
The suff ring child to rest.
Lo at the door giant form.
Stands sulien, grand, and vast
over that broad brow every storm
Life's clouds can send has past,
Those features of heroic mould
Can awaken awe or fear:
Those eyes have known Othello's scOwI
The maniac glare of Lear.
The deep full voice, whose tones can sweep
In thunder to the ear,
Has learned such softness that the babe
Can only smile to hear.
The strong arms fold the little form
Upon the massive breast,
Go, mother, l will watch your child"
He whispers. go and rest"
All night long the giant form
Treads gently to aud fro;
All night long the deep voice speaks
In murmured soothings low,
Until the rose light of the morn
Flashes the far off skies,
In sumber sweet on Forests breast
At last the baby lies.
Low lies the actor now at rest
Beneath the summer light;
Sweet be the sleep as that he gave
The suffering child that night

FROM CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BOSTON
JOURNAL.
Bellows Falls, Sept, 1873.
Now that the railroad goes everywhere,
New England towns may be divided in
to two classes-those that are visited
and those that are passed through Bel.
lows Falls belongs to the latter class.
With railroads spreading fan-like above
and below, vast tide of travel is daily
gathered from Southern New England
and New York, and poured through this
defle to be scattered throughout all the
North and West meeting like returning
tide from these quarters. No traveller
passes through Bellows Falls without
some awakening of interest, for prosaic
as our American people are, they are
not insensible to marked beauty of seen
cry, and few can behold cataract and
hear the dash of waters without a leap
ing of the heart. The glory of motion,
the splendor of light, the melody of
sound are combined in it, and none can
resist this triple appeal of nature to their
senses. The tourist drops his newspaper,
catches one glimpse of the frowning cliff
above, and of the boiling torrent below
and passes on. But little does he know
of the beautiful village spread on the
plateau above, or of the enchanting
roads that lead from it up and down the
valley and through the defiles of the
hills, or of the wild play of the waters as
they rush down their rocky and tortu-
Gus path. We are of those who did not
pass through, but stopped We came in
search of GOODNESS, and if we do not find
it our love of company makes US glad
that the misery prevails wherever the
weather probabilities are gathered up.
But with the cliff rising a thousand feet
against the sunrise and holding the
shadows till almost midday, and the
Connecticut dashing its waters down fif-
ty feet of rocky descent, and fresh
breeze drawing through this grand gorge
redolent with the pines of Ascutney. it
matters little what the thermometer
says. 1t is cool to the Imagination if
not to the senses, and in the exercise of
this faculty does the pleasure seeker
most realize his search.
As we sit upon the piazza of the Is
land House and look up and down the
valley in which it seems stationed as
sentry, we fancy it as it would be we're
we in Europe instead of America. and
were the Connecticut the Rhine.
Yonder cliff would be an Ehrenbreit-
stein, followed with chambers and man.
tied with cannon. Below would be the
ruins of medieval castles. Above and
below, the valley would stretch away in
to terraced vinyards, while each over
hanging rock and waterfall would tell
tale of tragic adventure the mist that
rises from the torrent would be wreathed
into the ghost of some medieval maid
