Singular Tragedy in Maine.

MUEDEH OF \ PIN >ICIAN rN \ WOMAN.
The town of Warren Was thrown into
Il state of great excitement. Saturday
morning. 10y the discovery that Dr. L.
Il. Baker. Il well known physician. had
been shot during the night. In. Bakcr
formerly pr;lctlrcd III Ihuma>tun. bat
removed some three Years ago. to the
West. whence he returned tu Warren
several months since. About five Years
ago his wife died. and an umma ii.d
woman named Mink WAS cuploved nS
h"rsckccpcI. Ii is supposed that Grim
iual intimacy existed between them
aud it is even said that she claimed to
have had child 10y him. which died
under suspicious circumstances. When
he went west. this woman followed
him. and made threats to different par-
ties that. If iIc ever had Il hou>rkcrpcr.
it would nc the death of him. Soon al
ter he came to Warren. six months ago
she returned. III" has been boarding az
hotel till this spring. when he pur-
chased Il house and commenced house
keeping. having Miss Kirk fnr house
keeper. since which tim" he has lccciV-
ell several threatening letters from Miss
Mink, threatening to burn his house and
Kill him if he did not discharge Miss
Kirk and employ her. lie has paid no
ATTENTIONS to these letters and. as the
event. shows, placed no confidence in
them. DIR. Baker was called to see "a
sick child about o o'clock, Friday even
ing, in the >icinity of the house where
Miss Mink lives. She states that Dr.
Baker caIne to their house between 9
and 10. after she had retired Hearing
his knock at the door. She got up and
let him in. and he undlc>sed and retired
with her. About 10 o'clock she appear

that night. In the morning however.
/ they found Dr. Bakers gig in the ward
of the wOmam'S house. and his horse in
! the barn. The door of the huu~, WIS
locked, hat il was broken open. and.
/ proceeding INTO the house. they found
/ the unfortunate man lNng dead OH the
chamber floor. Ills pants were on. his
vest on wrong side out and one stocking
partially on. 1t is supposed that. attel
receiving the fatal wound, he made an
attempt to dress himself. The bali
passed through his breast into his lungs:
the wound WAS of such nature that the
hem"lrhage was all internal. TIL" wu-
man was arrested. and post-moltem
examination made ON the body. An
inquest WAS commenced on Saturday,
but was not finished, lis important evil
demce had to he telegraphed for, and
will he resumed, to-day. 1t is conjcct-
ured that Il third party is implicated in
the tragedy. DIR. Baker was about 10
and came from New Hampshire, and his
practice lis IA physician has been very
extensive.

t$ The last Montpelier Waterman
ington, upon the back pay bill. in which
the writer cIiticiscS the press of Yer
mont for its cclISure of the measure.
The letter contains some sense, mingled
with hat full of nonsense. The writer
seems to forget that our entire deltga-
tion condemned the back pay measure
10y their votes. The press of the state
only sustained their votes. and of course
commended them for standing as one
man upon the right side of the question.
In doing ST. the press conceded honesty
of purpose To the members of Congress
from the state in the act of voting
against the measure, while the writer
of the letter, 10y implication AT least g.
administers to them only cenSure. We
have applaudcd the votes of our Con
gressmen without :" much lie question
ing their motives. and therefore serious
~ except I" this point made 10y the
writer of the letter.
The writer repeats the facts. such a.
We have before noted. that Congress
has the right To regulate the pay of its
members. and has done so-increaSrd
it-half IL dozen times or more. and
made ii retroactive. as in the last case
and also says many good things with
