MORE Ey1pENcE.-A part of the additional
evidence connecting Wagner with the Isle of
Shoals murders is that pencil peculiarly
marked, which was given to Wagner by one OF
his comrades, has been found at the house on
smuttv Nose Island, where the murders were
committed.
Another connecting link is that Mrs. Charles
Campbell, who lives near the beach at New
castle. saw man land on the beach from a
fishing dory, push it off to sea- and then run to
a clump of woods. This was early in the morn
ing OF the murders, and but a short time previ-
GUS to the time Wagner was seen crossing the
bridge from Newcastle to Portsmouth. Mrs
CampbelPs description of the man answers to
that of Wagner.
The blood found on Wagner's clothing has
been analysed and ascertained to be human

THE LOVERS LEAP.-One of our uptown
boarding houses has recently been scaudalized
by the conduct of a complaisant maid of all
work who has been in the habit of admitting
gentlemen to her bed chamber at late hours of
the night. Not many days since man was
seen to enter her chamber on the third fiat of
the house about midnight. The door was i'm
mediately fastened upon him, and the boarders
retired to rest with the consciousness of duty
performed, and the sweet satisfaction of think
ing that in the morning the man would be dis
covered and exposed to public obliquy. But in
the morning, to quote from the poem OF
Lochial, "no rider was there" and a big hole
in a snowdrift some thirty feet below, gave evil
dence that he had jumped from the third story
window. The mai1 $50 called by customl was
ordered to pack her trunks and leave.

Miss misunderstanding of Miss Starbird's
debut at the Mehlig matinee, Saturday, the
Boston Journal says: Miss Starbird sang the
Polacca from 81 Puritani'' and Scotch ballad,
making very favorable impression, although
she had to contend with very bad accompanl-
ment in the first named piece. She has fine
soprano voice of much sweetness and power,
and executes with great ease, nicely and cor
rectness. We sincerely trust she will be here
again." The Post says: "Miss Anna Starbrd
earned her right to place among popular So
pranos her principal effort, the polacca from
''Puritani'' being rendered with great sweetness
and finish.
AN ARREsT.-Sheriff Adams arrested man

amount of the claim against him. He was
then suffered to go free, and he left i'll the
steamship Sunday morning. His other and
larger creditors ran whistle for their pay.

POPULAR WRITERS

Of distinction, as contributors to our columns.
Among those as writer's of Fiction whom we are
now at liberty to mention, are Mrs. NELLIE
MARSHALL McAFEE, of Kentucky, and Mrs.
HENRY DEAS, of California.
Already is Mrs. Deas favorably known to our
readers, as brilliant and entertaining writer
and we can safely promise that the next story we
shall publish from her pen sone of greater power
and more fascinating style than any she has ever
yet written.
Mrs. McAfee, though but recently engaged as
contributor to the ENQUIRER is we'll known in
the world of letters, having commenced her lite
rary career by writing for perodicalsin in 1863, and
having been remarkably successful in every effort.
J. Wood Davidson, in his 'Livlng Writers of the
Somh," published in 1869, says: "She is just past
twenty, and seems full Of youthful aspiration, and
hopes, and life. She puts her impulses, feelings
and thoughts into literary forms with wonderful
facility" Her second publication entitled "As
by Fire" novel of passion-ife earnest, intense
and full Of pahos, appeared in 1869, and was we'll
received by the public. The New York Round
Table spoke of the volume as being all perpetual
splendor," and that the writer in her special de-
lineaions Of character, displays abundant capaci-
ty to excel.
The first number Of the new volume will con-
tain the opening chapters of a thrilling and high
ly exciting story by Mrs. McAfee, being her latest
1itararv effort entitled
