NEW YORK. June

hAS NV WV AhSkS
concerning the alarming illness of
Vice President Wilson. His attack
was followed by a partial deafness
and partial blindness, and the general
character of his symptoms was such
as to threaten the loss of his power
and activity, if not his life. He is now
improving, but is by no means out of
danger. He has been sojourning in
Boston for some weeks, under the
care of Or. f. II. Clarke, and has seer
very few of his friends. His incessant
laborS in the last election, followed
by the strain and anxiety of last Win
ter, and accompanied by a good deal
OF work on his anti-slavery history,
are regarded as the immediate occa-
sion OF his present illness.
n fire was reported early this morn
ing in Westborough, Massachusetts,
threatening the whole town. The
tiredepartments of neighboring towns
we're called for.

y morning paper says that al the
present time there are between 1000
and 5000 children kidnapped from
Italy, and held in slavery in the large
cities of the United States. This city
being a great central entreport, the
children are brought here and sold
daily at private auction, prices vary
ing from 500 to $500 for BOYS, and
from 500 to $500 for girls. Where the
girls are exceptionally pretty, prices
rule higher. Two little girls who toge-
Their play their violin in Wall street,
are said to have been bought by the
present owner for 81, 600. Since the
LIST of April last 81 of these children
have arrived at this port.
Colonel Mekenzie's report of his at
tack recently on kickipoos and Lip
on Indians has reached the War De-
partment. SurgiOn, on his indorse-
ment report, says: l don't believe in
any boundary between the United
States and Mexico, when we are de-
tending tie lives of our citizens,
and protecting their property against
Inc rcilesS banditti, whom the name
lnurderers, rather than thieves, pro-
perly applies as covering their acts.
A Washington letter received from
a teacher in kiOwa camp at Fort SillS,
says a very friendly feeling exists on
the part of the Indians towards the
General Government, which will be
increased on the restoration to Them
of Santana and Big Tree.

BELFAST, June II.
The following particulars OF the
ThOrndyke murder have been ELECTED
from John Gordon, a man seventy
years old: ThOrndyke had his farm
recently conveyed to his son Allmon.
His farm is worth a thousand dollars
taking back a mortgage for life for
the support of himself and wife. The
other son, John T., was dissatisfied
with the arrangement, and probably
thought that by the death OF his
brother and family, that the property
would fall to him. This is the only
motive thus far assigned. At the time
OF the murder the old people were alb
semi on a visit. The inmates of the
house were, the murdered man. All
man, a man aged 25 years, Emma A.,
his wife, aged % years, their children
Ira b., aged 6 years, a little girl aged
II months, Anna, a neice, aged 9 years,
John aged 7 years, the brother, and a
hired man. About three o'clock in the
morning the latter was awakened by
the shrek of the little boy, and imme-
diately discovered that the house was
on fire. He informed the neighbors,
and the flames were extinguished
without much damage. The bodies of
the father, mother and infant, who
occupied the same bed, were soon
found, so mangled and scorched as to
be hardly recogniz Ible. The little
poy, who slept in a Grip in the same
room, was severely wounded, but
may survive. The bloody deed was
evidently committed with an ak,
which was found on the premises.
The wounds of the three murdered
persons were inflicted upon the head,
and must have caused instant death.
The brother John T., who was arrest
ed on suspicion, is Is years old, a farm
labOrer, and unmarried. He main
tains sullen Indifference, refusing to
answer any questions, but saving that
at the proper time he will defend him
self. The ron held an inquest this
afternoon. and the prisoner will
probably be arraigned before the DO
lice court in this city tomorrow.
