Mrs. Lowell did not live happily together and
that he treated her brutally. Sunday AFTER
noon, June IL, 1870, they had . quarrel, aris-
ing from the husband discovering his wife in
conversation with circus performer. That
evening, Lowell took his wife to ride, and
she was never seen afterwards. Their land
lady, the next morning, asked Lowell where
his wife was, and he replied that he brought
her back the night before, and that II she was
missing "she must have gone of to Portland
with that circus fellow" Afterwards certain
letters were thrown into the yard of Mrs.
Murray, friend of the Lowells, purporting
to have been written by Mrs. Lowell, init

New Scenery in Granite Hall.

The newly painted scenery at Granite Hall
was shown to a large number of admiring
friends of this favorte place of amusement
on Saturday evening. AS it was shown, each
scene elected the heartiest applause. The
Presidential mansion that has SO long been
represented on the drop curtain is obliterated,
and in its stead is painted rich and graceful
drapery, giving a lively appearance to the
front of the stage, and showing to very great
advantage. There is new scenery sufficient
for the presentation of the most elaborate
pieces, all done in a most artistic manner by
Mr.. David Richards of Boston. formerly of
the Globe Til eatre. The scenery is equal in
point of excellence to that found in the me-
tropolitan theatres, and will be an additional
inducement to first class dramatic companies
to come here. The proprietors of the hall
are entitled to the thanks of the community
in identifying and adjoining their stage. Dur
ing the evening excellent music was furnished
by Berry's Band, and after the stage exhibi-
ton the young folks remained to engage in a
pleasant social dance.

valuable for the ordinary duties of every day,
but will render noble service on fire duty.

The Wing reports shocking accident that
occurred Friday morning in one OF the slate
quarries in Brownville. Four workmen,
John Roberts, Newton Talcott, Jacob Merrill
and French boy, were employed in blasting
in the pit, and had put foot charge in a
freshly drilled hole in the ledge. Deeming
this hardly sufficient, they put in six inches
more Of powder and were tamping it down,
when the whole charge exploded with fearful
force, fairly blowing all four into the air.
The tamping stick of hard wood struck Rob-
erts in the left eye and went completely
through his head, coming out the back part
of his skull. He was shockingly burned and
just alive with no possibility of recovery.
Talcott was terribly burned and large piece
of his scalp torn from the side Of his head.
The others were burned and bruised, but
their wounds will probably not prove fatal.

FROM CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, IS. A special dated Tue
son, Arizona, 1lth, furnishes the following
news of a revolution in Sonora, Mexico ::
Letters from Guaymas, state that pronun-
cimento issued at Promontorio on the 10Th Of
Septemberby Connaut and Barbeytia against
thea uthorities of the State of Sonora and
favor restoring the State constitution of No
vember, ~. Revoutionsts took the City of
Los Alamos, and hold the District south Of
that place. They levied contribution of
1920, 900 on the merchants of Los Alamos,
which was paid. They have force of $50
men, we'll armed. Gov. Posguera has taken
the field in person, and is organizing a force
of 800 men to proceed against the revolution
lists. The chances are that the Governor will
crush the revolt at the outset; but all agree
that if he loses his first engagement the revo.
luton will extend over the whole State, and
probably prove disastrous to his future polti-
cal power Hundreds of poor emaciated ma
tves are coming in on all roads to Arizona,
destitute of food and clothing. The commu-
nication with the capital of Sonora by land is
cut off.
