The Killduf Murder.

NEW YORK, August N.-The excite
ment over the Killduff murder is intense
in the Eastern District of Brooklyn,
where the deceased was looked upon as
one of the leaders of the Plasterers'
Union. The i'll feeling between the
members ofthe union and the non-society
men is very high, and great anger is
manifested toward the traitors, as they
are designated by the Union men. All
dav Saturday large numbers of masons
congregated in the neighborhood where
the deed was committed and around the
station, talking excitedly Of the murder
and on the subject Of working
eight or ten hours a day. Kill
dutfs special animosity seems to have
been directed against James Bur he,
whom he first attacked when he entered
the building, and he had been heard sew
eral days previous TO make threats against
him specially. At a meeting Of mem
bers of the union, the non-socicty men
were severely condemned for their ac-
tiOn, and resolutions were passed express
ing profound sorrow at killdutf's death.
The funeral took place yesterday, from
Killduff's late residence, and was attend
ed by large number of society men.
John Ewell fatally stabbed his wife at
their residence in Brooklyn. He alleges
as the cause of the act that she was un-
faithful to him.

The Winnipeg Nanitoban gives
an account of the trip of the steam
er Dakota, Capt. Sam Painter, up
the AsSiniboine river on the 22d of
May to Portage, La Prairie, $50
miles west of Winnepeg. She took
up ninety tons of freight and brought
down eighty tons, principally pota-
toes. The incident shows that set
Elements are pushing steadily west
ward from the Red River of the
North. 1t is stated in the Wanito-
ban that a single lock and dam near
the mouth Of the river, where dur
inc the summer months it is halow
aHd rapid, would render it naviga-
bic for a long distance westward,
with at least two feet Of water, a
considerable portion of the season.
The Mouse river, which joins the
ASSiniboiue, from Dakota, from the
southwest, Is also navigable for a
considerable distance. The valleys
of these two rivers extend for hun
drrdS Of miles southwest and north
towards the Rocky Mountains, and
are said to be rich and productive.
The party who visited Winnepeg
(Fort Carry in July 1871, reported
the finest fields Of wheat, oats, bar
ley and potatoes growing on the
north side Of the A~siniboine and
west Of the Red River Of the North.
We have on our table a specimen of
the beautiful wheat raised at Prince
Albert Mission, on The Sa>katchc-
