Jealousy, and What Came oft.
One Patrick Sulllvan-the
name tells the place Of birth
lived in Huntington township,
blessed with a cabin, wife and
children, yet he was not hap
py. Instead of being always
satisfied by the loves of that
dear duck of a wife, he sought
the "strange woman" in the
person of one Martha Tyler,
who was known to retail her
virtue for money, and upon
her, Patrick, unmindful OF his
nuptual vow, wasted all his
spoony endearmentS and ready
cash. Martha succumbed to
his sersuasive measures of alb.
sorblng devotion, and recipro-
Gated every advance and took
in every dollar Patrick carried
in his bifurcates, while the off
spring of the son of Erin were
allowed to go endangered and
without meat. Mrs. Sullivan,
knowing that patient prayer Is
a powerful purchase, tried its
efficacy, but failing to move
the heart now become common
in Its loves, secured her little
pistol on last Thursday eve
ming with the avowed inten-
tion of sending Martha to that
far off country where the good
things of earth are multiplied
and intensified. Thither the
insulted spouse repaired, but
not beng familiar with the
prehensile features OF Martha,
she mistook her sister Mary,
who was dandling a baby at
the time, for the unsuitable, Sc.
ductive Martha, and pointed
her little pistol at her, the ball
entering the left shoulder, lodg'
ing in the neck. Still suppos.
ing that she had given Martha
over 10 All undertaken, she
withdrew, and shortly after
took the cars for Pennsylvania.
Mary nurses a wound, Martha
far from being food lor worme,
nurses a taby, and Patrick,
wifeless and full of grief, nurse
a condemning conscience. The
wounded woman will probably

HAMDEN, o., Aug. II, 1878.
EDITOR REooRD:-I notice In
the Enquirer of August 6, a
meeting of the Democracy and
Liberals OF Vinton county for
the purpose of appointing del
egates for the State convention
to be held at Columbus and al.
so to choose seven delegates to
represent Vlnton county in the
Judicial Convention at Ports
mouth, and the Senatorial Con.
vehtion at Gallipolis at some
future day. | notice W. W.
Belford, NJ. r. Potter, D. T.
Cunning and j. W. Bowen were
appointed delegates to the
State Convention, and U. s.
Olaypoole, j. NJ. McGillivray,
@, W. Holland, o. T. Cunning,
VIM. Baughman, ]. W. Bowen
and 7. A. Murray were ap-
pointed delegates to the Sena.
torial and Judicial Convention.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | am a reader
of the Enquirer and have sup
ported the Democratic party
Tor about twelve years. | have
noticed that theEnquirer for the
last five or six years has been
full Of slang and abuse in re-.
gard to the Grant family and
relations holding office, &c.
Now please examine the ap-
pointment of the delegates an
nounced in the Enquirer of the
9th of August and see what you
think of the principle set forths
in those appointments, and see
whether there is anything,
as the Enquirer would say,
Grantish in them; see il there
is ID representation of VinIoo
county or merely represent
alton of two townships of the
county. There are but two
delegates appointed for all of
the conventions that do not re.
side in Elk township. If the
Democratic party wish to pros
per and elect any part of the
ticket which they may nomin.
ate, | would advise that the
county be represented IN place
of the little family in Near
thur. There are plenty of good
honest men living in other
townships in the county that
would make good delegates,
then the county would be fairly
represented in The conventions,
and the party will be more sue
cessful, for we don't intend 10
support the little family in Nc
Arthur, or any OF their nomlna
tions until we have fair rep
resentatlon Of the county in
our conventions. We have
twelve townships in our coun.
ty. Only two are represented
in the above conventions. II.

TIE Postmaster General Is
very confident that the aboli-
lion of the franking privilege
will result in a very material
increase in the revenues OF the
postal service. He is OF the
opinion that the increase will
be So great that the depart
ment will become entirely self
sustaining.-E.
Yes; but how about the
Treasury, War, Navy, Execu
tive, judicial aud Legislative
departments with a deficit Of
three or -four millions to pay
their postage by reason of the
abolition of the franking priv
lege? 1t is there-out of the
United States Treasury-that
Mr.. Cresswell gets the cash to
make his department "self sus'
tanning" We would like to see
where the people are benefit
ted. If Mr.. q. can make the
public rich and furnish money
to pay off our national indebt'
edness by taking money out o.
other departments and making
up the deficit in his own, he j;
almost as smart a finan cier as
the Pendletonians, who propos
ed to pay the whole debt by
giving their notes for the
amount as fast as the presses
could print them. One is JUS
about as great a humbug al
the other.

NEW YORK CITY.

NEW YORK, March 20.-There is moth.
ing new in reference to the apprehended
strikes among the working. men. The
Journeymen Wood CarveES Union held
q general meeting last evening, but the
subject of strikes was not considered.
At the semI.monthly meeting Of the
Workingmen's Union last evening, the
resolutions recently adopted by the En-
ployers' Protective Association, declaring
unyielding and absolute opp6siton 10 the
demands Of the Trades Unions, were re-
ierred to Committee for consideration.
No further action was taken, but several
of the members asserted that there would
be general strikes within q couple oi
months.
A medical college here graduated ten
female doctors this week.
A number Of laborers on the Harlem
Railroad near Harlem, recently demand
ed higher wages. Their places were sup
piled BY non.Society men from the neigh.
boring States. Some trouble was appre'
hended, but the strikers did not interfere.
It 10 said that the recent advance In the
price Of pork here Is owing to the heavy
demand from the larger and wealthier
countries OF Europe for pork to be con.
verted into bacon for army food. The TACT
that one or two houses In this city hold
great quantities Of pork here has given
rise TO rumors of an intended corner, but
no well founded statement on tho subject
Is made.
An Erie official interviewer says the
legislative investigation will disclose moth
ing which has NOT been already published.
Hints had heretofore been sent from Al
banV that the investigation could be stop
ped II the Erie people wanted It, which
was interpreted to mean money.
1t Is stated that the Bulls.head bank OF
this city, suspended this morning, and
that 1t Is surrounded by an excited crowd
of depositors.
Last night, the harness trimming fac
tory Of William Waldron and the neigh
boring buildings on Beekman street. were
burned. The losses were about $33, goo.
An arrest was made to-day of Warren
alias George Mcdonald, a passenger on
an incoming steamer, on suspicion oi
being one of the perpetrators Of the late
Gorgeries on the bank Of England. McDon'
aid had 50 900 in gold, and diamonds
and other articles on his person. -
It Is said the suspension of the Bulls
Head Bank was caused by the defalcation
ofsome Of It's members. An examination
Is going on. The bank Is In charge OF
the police officers. The suspended Bulls
Head Bank Is q State institution, with Q
capital of 100000, and was represented
in the clearing house OF which 1t was not
a amember bythe Metropolitan Bank. The
Metropolitan, however, has sufficient as
setls TO cover all losses. +

NEW YoRK, March 20.-The suspension
OF the Bulls Head Bank created consider.
able excitement In business circles to-day.
When the news became generally known
great crowd Of excited depo8itorB sur
rounded the bank building Of 25th street
and 3rd avenue, and strenu0us efforts were
made to obtain an intGrVieW with the OH.
GERS. The front windows and door, how
ever, were tightly closed, and two police
men were stationed At the head ol the
stairway leading to the directors room.
The following notice was placarded
over the main entrance to the bank !:
"Affairs under examination; will report ct
the earliest possible moment"
About half past two this afternoon
Willet9, the cashier, admitted that the
deIalcation had occurred In the clerical
department OF the bank, which rendered
It absolutely necessary to suspend pay
ment he thought the depoaiEop would
not suffer to any great extent, but that
the stockholders would be heavy losers.
About two weeks ago Williamson, the
President, resigned, and Mr.. Mead was
elected temporary president Upon TAX
ing the position Mr.. Mead asked that an
examination Of the accounts be made
and q committee was appointed
from the Board Of DirectoB for
that purpose, the investigation began
ten days ago, and itsoon became appAr.
ent that the accounts had been kept In .
very loose manner. Many Of tho book9
were found To be badly mutilRted, and
several glHring erroEA were discovered do:
ring the course Of the search. Mr.. Mead
saws that the accounts examined up 70 the
preaSent time show that the assets Of the
bank cannot meet itg liabilities. These
discrepancies have not q yet been tasten'
ed upon any particular peTDon, and the
Committee are completly beiogged % 70
the author Of the trouble. No definite
statement regarding tho LOSES can DO
made Ot present, the amount probably
not len than $4,000. The Bulls Head
Bank q q State bark and was incoFporAt.

said, are about 81, 100000. Last year q
dividend Of 10 per cant was paid 70 the
BtOck. holders, and tho stock has lately
been quoted ct 190-three years ago, the
price was 252. Much complaint was
made by the depoOitors to-day, because
the bank continued to do business and
receive deposits when the Directors, o.
alleged, knew that glAring mistakes 10
the accounts had bean discovered.

All Efforts to save Him Abandoned.

All Efforts to Save Him Abandoned
NEW York, March 20.-An informal
application was made to-day by MIR. Allen
the counsel Of Foster, TO some OF the Su'
preme Court Judges Tor a stay OF execu-
ton. Application was made that some
further instructions were necessary before
the execution could legally take place: II
was, however, discovered that no further
action on the part Of the Governor was
necessary, and all efforts in behalf Of Fos'
ter have been abandoned.
On receiving the intelligence that the
effort for q stay Of execution had proved
in vain, Foster became very much dejec'
ted, hung his head on his breast and de-
sired that no one would speak TO him ex'
cept his wife. She had tainted on hear
ing that the last hope was gone. On re-
covering her senses she went up gently to
Foster and placing her hand IN his sat by
him for hours. She spoke little, being
evidently unable to control her voice.
Rev. Dr.. Ting spent upwards Of an
hour with Foster this afternoon. The
doomed man listened earnestly to tho ex.
hortations Of his spiritual adviser. lie
was also visited by his brother.in.law,
father, and Father Duranquet. Hc re-
fused to undergo the ordeal Of parting
with his children, whom he has not seen
since his arrest.
About $50 o'clock this evening the
final parting between Foster and his wife
took place. Both were deeply affected.
he kissed her repeatedly and she clung to
him until overcome with emotions she
tainted and was carried out by her broth.
er and taken from the scene OF her long
devotion and suferingS. Even tho prison
officials, accustomed to scenes Of sorrow,
were deeply moved.
