A Boston Horror.

BosroN, July 1S.-At South Boston
this afternoon the remains of little
Katie Mary Curran, girl of ten years,
who SO nysteriously disappeared -four
months ago, were found in the cellar Of
the building No. 1927 Broadway, for
merly occupied as store by Mrs. R.
II. Pomroy, the mother of young Pom
roy who is now in Jail awaiting trial on
the charge of cruelty torturing and
numbering a young boy by the name of
Miller, on the ed ct April last The
discovery was made By some workmen
employed in the adjoining cellar. A
stone was losened and fell upon a pile
Of ashes in the part formerly occupied
by the Pomroys, and upon going in to
remove it fragment of dress was seen
protrudlog from the heap Upon pulls
ing it out the child's head was brought
to light. The police were at once sum.
moned and the unnatural grave was
more fully examined, when the remain
der OF the body of the child was ex--
humed. The remains were much
decemposed and utterly unacceptable,
but the clothing was fully identified as
that OF the little Curran girl. Detect
ives and the parents of the unfortunate
little one We're sent for. The excite
ment was so intense that the mother
and elder brother of Pomroy were ar
rested, not from any suspicion that
they were accessory to the atrocious
acts OF the young fend, but as a meas
ure of safety, it being feared that they
would be lynched by the excited crowd.
The theory Of the detectives is that the
young murderer enticed his victim into
the cellar during the absence of his
mother, and after torturing her to death
disposed of the remains in the manner
above described. .-g-z

from facts and data CLEANED from the

the sixth district it says:
Sixth district-Mr Harris represents
this district now, and, from all that we
can learn, will be likely to continue in
his seat another term. The Republi-

and the independent candidates fare
badly as rule.

A.frnnnmY and Religion.

Astronomy has for lie source OF IN
formation the heavenly bodies. Our
knowledge OF the principles OF religion
is chiefly drawn from the revelation o.
the scriptures.
There are certain points at which
astronomy aud religion come into con-
tact. Although each may remain in its
legitimate sphere and may pursue i'f
investigations by its own appropriate
methods, there are points at which they
touch.
Ifboth OF them are true, there can oe
no conflict between them. II cannot
be tina, God by the works OF bis hands
will tell us one thing and that oy his
word he will tell us another which is al
variance with it.
1t is a fact that between astronomy
and religion, when properly UNDERSTOOD
there is the most beautiful harmony
There have been occasions when they
seemed to clash. But the contradic-
ton has only been apparent, and has
been the result OF misapprehepsion on
the one side or the other. In some cases
the error has been on the part Of the
Interpreters OF the Scriptures. By gno-i
rance Of astronomy they have been LEFT
to put a wrong meaning on the Ian
guage OF the Bible. And after sciencs
