APPALLING SUTcI,E- A

APPALLING SUICIDE. A terrible
tragedy was enacted this morning at
Ainsworth Station in the town of Hyde
Park, about eleven miles from this city.
1t was not a conflict Of arms between
desperate men; it was not the Work of
the bottles red-eyed demon; no muir
derous hand was uplifted to slay with
deadly blow or>heart- piercing bullet 8
fellow being; but 2 woman, soaded to
desperation BY some real Or imaginary
wrong at the hands OF her husband,
deliberately procaeds to decd that Will
send, like Q charge Of electricity, a thrill
Of horror Throughout the entire cora
munity. When the sun rose this mora
ing its light, Though obscured by dark
and threatening clouds, revealed a wife
and husband at that thriving suburb
engaged in domestic turmoil. Before
TIE orb Of day had cleared the skirts OF
the horizon the husband WIS wifeless,
and horribly nangled corpse, SO mutt
Hated that it lost all semblance Of hui
man being, was all that remained OF the
unhappy woman. The following are
Ill the facts that could be gathered:
AT an early hour this morning a man
and woman, residing at AinsW orth,
quarrelled. The woman, angersd be
yond endurance, put on a bonnet and
shawl, stating us she departed, sGood-
bye; you will never see me again She
then made her way to the depot. sat
calmly down on the steps of the plat
form, and awaited, apparently without
emotion, the arrival Of the morning ex-
press-a train that did not stop at the
depot It came laundering along at
full speed at the usual hour. The wo
man arose as she saw the steaming en-
CINE, firmly braced herself, and when
the locomotive was but short distance
from the depot, she hurled herself upon
the track and was crushed to an TN
recognizable mass Chicago Post.

The Goaoc Prisoner.

San FRANCISCO, June IA dis
patch from Boyle's camp, dated June
IL, says the Modoc captives will be
taken to Fort Klamath, where the com
nilsson to try them will sit. Some Of
the wounded soldiers have been already
sent to Fort Klamath. It is generally
thought that Bogus Charlie, Hooker
Jim, Shack Nasty Jim and Steamboat
Frank, who volunteered to aid in the
capture of Captain Jack, will escape
punishment as murderers, but those
who are not tried for murder will be
forwarded to Fort Alcatraz in San
Francisco harbor
Major Jackson's troops will start for
Fort Klamath this evening to prepare
for the reception Of the Modoc prison
ers.
A despatch from Jacksonville, Ore
gon, says General Ross and the Ore
gon volunteers have just arrived. They
deny that the massacre of Modoc pris
oners was committed by Oregon vol
unteers, and declare that they had other
and better opportunities for killing
prisoners, if they had desired to do
so.

The Smyrna, Oel) Times gives
the following description Of the straw
berry patch owned by David J. Cum
MINIS, Esq, Of that town, which is said
to be the largest on the Peninsula:
"de has in actual fruitage, in two
patches Oh his Cedar Lane farm. near
town, twenty eight acres Of plants,
which are now yielding an abundant
crop OF as fine berries as are shipped
from this section. The magnitude Of
Mir. Q. s operations ii shipping the fruit
attracts the attention Of citizens and
strangers, numbers Of whom visit the
farm daily. He has now employed
about one hundred and eighty pickers,
mostly colored men, women and cl.il-
dfen from the neighborhood of Milling
ton, Maryland The patches, as ex-
tensive as they are,are in thorough con
dition. The whole surface isthorougbly
and heavily mulehed with marsh grass
thus protecting the berries from the
grit, and giving them a bright crimson
lustre that makes them decidedly clean
and beautiful. The moisture is also
better held by the ground by reason Of
he covering Of hay. There were con
sunlcd IN ,.A1e 1naivniag about 100 tons
ofhsy,at cost ofupA&::.ds Of 500. Che
cultivation Of 50 large a tillage in this
particular fruit is, Of course, more Of an
experiment than otherwise, and the
outlay, which Nr. G. has not spared in
any particular, has been heavy, but
should the crop not he cut short by
drought, nor the price knocked down
by glut, the income, it's thought, will
be handsome.

A Singular Story.

Detroit has what it calls a funny
man. An old man named Gregg, who
mends furniture for a living, was sitting
in his shop recently, when a stranger
entered and asked the loan of sdollar.
Gregg bounded at the impotence OF
the request, and the stranger began
laughing uproariously and shut and
bolted the door. The stranger then
took off his coat rolled up his sleeves
and stepped up and seized Gregg by
the hair and lifted him up foot or so.
Gregg attempted to call in the police,
but the funny man seized him by the
throat and nearly choked him to death.
"Why don't you laugh p said the stran-
ger, saying which he began to twig his
nose. 4 stair rod then came into
requisition, Gregg being constantly
requested to laugh. Seeing thst his
life was in danger, he did laugh, but
it was not hearty laugh, and accord
ingly the stranger began hitting at his
feet with a Ratchet. A pair Of shears
was then procured, and the man began
cutting of his hair until his victim was
left bald. He then cut off the mans
%hiskers and tickled his feet with al
Old currycoub, threatening to stall
Gregg if he made all alarm Growing
tired at last, the stranger said be guess
ed he would so. lie vas not in need
of any money, he said, but he liked ct
meet a man who would appreciate fun
and he went out The carpelter was
alive at last accounts, but the funny
man is still at large. 1t is thought thai
the case is one of emotional insanity

Ihs Nansameni Va. Tragedy,


A letter, dated Suffolk, Va, June Ii,
says:
On Monday last, the first day of the
continuing term of our County Court
true bills Of Indictment were found
against Jim Brown for the murder o.
Mrs. Jonas and Mrs. Dozier. To-day
he was tried and found guilty of muir
der in the first degree, in the presence
of large number of silent witnesses,
white and'black. In accordance with
the terms Of the sentence pronounced,
the execution of the criminal will take
place on the 18th day of July next, just
thirty days hence. The pocket book
taken by jim from the residence of Mr..
Jones was found under small oak
bush, where he said he had placed it,
and its identity was shown in evidence
The latter was in every respect identical
with the facts, ETC., given heretofore in
various communications to your paper.
When the murderer shall have been
executed, forty-two days only will have
passed away since the day upon which
the crime was committed The com
mnuity is an unfortunate one, in that
they have lost the presence Of the two
murdered ladies' but it is fortunate
one, IN that they shall witness the
visitation of swift-winged justice upon
the head of the brutal murderer.

Who killed General Candy will be a
problem that future historians will
probably puzzle their heads over Cap
tain Jack denies most strenuously that
he committed the bloody deed, al
though he admits that he ordered it to
be done If the future is to have this
puzzle on the right side of the red war
rior, the present has its still unsettled
controversy over the staying Of lecum-
sch by a white soldier. Who killed
Tecumseh is as difficult of solution as
that foolish query IN regard to the
abused Billy Paterson. The conflict
Of testimony has broken out afesh in
the Cincinnati papers. Somebody has
been saying that Colonel johnson did
it, not with his, little Ratchet that
was in the hands of his foe in the
shape Of a tomahawk, OF the picture
books do not tell the truth-yet, with
his pistol. Col. johnson himself never
claimed that he killed Tecumseh. All
he ever said was that in his last mag
nificent charge at the Thames tall
athletic warrior confronted him, >and
was slain by a pistol ball. The evi
dence appears to be nearly conclusive
that this was not the great Indian
chief. and, indeed, it is very doubtful if
the latter was killed in the battle at
all

A Washington letter in the Balti.
more Sun says:-@S ome of the recent
federal appointments in Virginia have
given great dissatisfaction to great
number of the republicans of that
State. They assert that the patronage
Of the administration is being dis
tributed to please q few individuals,
and net with any regard to advancing
the interests of the whole party, which
is looked upon as rather remarkable in
view Of the importance of the approach
ing campaign. The element known as
carpet baggers object most strenuously
to some of the appointments of ex
Confederates which have been made,
and the colored element, which con
stitutes the bulk of the votes, Il
plain bitterly that its claims are almost
entirely overlooked. Col. Mosby, it is
thought, has entirely too much influence
with the administration, and it is said
that although he is a Grant man, he has
never as yet positively announced him
self as member Of the republican
party"

Of General Davis, concerning his in

his associates, of the statement is cor
rect there is no doubt that General
Davis must have exceeded his duty,
and he would have been held response
bic for his acts. IIe'ahould be guided
By military rules and the law We ali
know they are murdarers, and had Gen.
hen Davis shot while they were being
pursued do not think he would haye
exceeded his duty. He did not dc this
and could not afterwards shoot them i'll
cold blood General Davis report to
Gen. Schotield, Gen. Sherman said,
may differ from that published in the
papers. Davis is too experienced~an Off
Ger to do anything that would bring
odium upon the army, or ley himself
open to military court-martial for ex-
cccding his duty as an officer The
General thinks there VIII be no dltfl-
Guilty about disposing Of the Modocs
under arrest. Those found guilty of
murder will be hanged or shot, and if
it u proved there was an ag1 eement
for general uprising among the tribes
others will receive some punishment az
a warning to the Indians. He re
marked, however, that it was a pity
that the guilty Modocs were not shot
at first; then ri this commission would
have been avoided AS to the killing
already of a few prisoners, Gen. Sher-
man says that those who committed the
deed are low black guards aud muir
derels who had nothing whatever to do
with the army.
