Patrick Stack was placed on trial charged with
stealing carpet bag, containing clothing and $40
In money, on the 4th inst., from Patrick Kane. 1t
appeared that they were passengers on steamer
from Providence, and that while wandering
through the city they went to a pier to inquire
about European steamers. While Kane, who was
bright-ooking Irish youth, was within the gate
Stack remained outside. They missed each other,
and the prisoner LEFT the bag in cigar store near
the pier, returning there in the morning, hoping
to find him. In the meantime the boy, suppOsng
that Stack meant to steal it, procured the services
OF o detective, and as they were walking along
West street Stack came up and tapped Kane on
the shoulder, and took him to the cigar store,
where the carpet bag was found. The clothing
was left, but the money was gone. Stack told his
story in such simple ana artless way that the
jury believed him and rendered verdict OF not
guilty. AS the complainant had worked hard for
the money the jury subscribed $32 and gave 1t to
the youth.

THR STOWE FRATRIcIDE AND LYNCHING.
DAYTON, OHIo, December S.-The particu
lars OF the Stowe fratricide, and the subseQ uent
hanging of Henry Stowe, show that the two
brothers. with some companions, after drinking
whisky freely, commenced shooting at a mark.
John Stowe insisted upon loading the rife for
each competitor. and Henry contended that
each man should charge the gun for himself.
Henry, however, acceded TO the demand of
John until II came TO his turn to shoot, when be
demanded that the rife be given 10 him TO load.
High words followed, in the course Of which
Henry charged John with dishonesty in not
putting any ball in the gun when last loading
IL. John called Henry liar; upon which Henry
shot John dead, with a revolver. Henry was
Immediately seized by the remainqer OF IN >
party, numbering fOlr men, who dragged him
10 mill, from which a rope was procured, and
hanged him 20 a limb Of q tree. The company
then repaired 10 the "offi ce- and took drink .
and, upon returning, found their victim dead
Seeming to realize FOR the first time what had
happened, those who participated fed, and
have not yet been captured. The parents OF
the brothers Stowe, who reside in Pennsylvania
were informed at once OF the terrible affair, and
arrived yesterday afternoon and took charge OF
the remains of their sons, who, Il seems, were
their only children.
