REAL Estate ExCITEMENT.-Por
land, Maine, is greatly excited over the
appearance of Miss Skillings of New
Hampshire, who claims to be the owner
Of seven acres of land in the heart of
the city, valued at several millions of
dollars. She claims to be descendant
of Thomas Skillings, one of the original
settlers in 1861. The property came in
to the possession of John, his youngest
son, and finally fell into the hands of
Samuel Skillings, Johns grandson, who,
in 1882, leased it to Enoch Ilslep, one of
the prominent men of the town, for so
years, and the lease has just been I'M
earthed. Miss Skillings also claims 90
acres in Deeriug.

A SILLY ENTERPRISE. All great dis
asters have their humorous and ridicu.
lous features, and the Mill River calam-
ity is not an exception. A dispatch
from Springfield makes the announce
ment that Mr.. Cheney, the gate-keeper
at the Inflated reservoir, has let himself
to some enterprising peripatetic Snowman
to travei about the country, and exhibit
himself and the horse he rode ON thai
fatal morning as euriosities. That Mr.
Cheney deserves well of his fellows fol
his efforts to warn them of impending
death, there is little doubt he may b.
justly regarded as hero by the NOR,
generous minded public but if he really
enters upon the course, the merit ant
sentiment of the ride will suffer tota
eclipse.

A DREADFUL TRAGEDY.-Mrs. Mi
chael Devine, living with her husband
and three children at 80 North Eighth
street, Brooklyn, Z. d., early Tuesday
morning came behind her husband and
struck him violent blow on the head
with cooper's adze. He rushed to the
station house, aud officers Immediately
started for the house. On arriving there
they discovered that the woman had
murdered her three children, Maggie,
james and Timothy, aged seven four
and two years. 1t appears that after
her husband left the house she seized 8
large fiat iron and beat the children's
brains out. On being asked why she
had murdered the children she said she
was going to heaven and wanted the
children to go before her. Devine'i
skull is fractured and his injuries will
probably prove fatal. He has been OF
a strike for week past, and thinks tina
that has led to his wife's arrangement
Mrs. Devine is undoubtedly hopelessl,
insane and has been taken to the station
house under close guardianship to pre-
vent her killing herself. The blood Q
her little children was all over her cloth
ing, her hands and face, the walls, tn
bedclothes and the floor of their room
Mrs. Devine was recently an inmate Q
a lunatic asylum.

State Political Notes.

The number of names mentioned =
for lieutenant governor, has greatly in
creased during the past two weeks. Some
of the new names will be found below,
which we copy from the Burlington Free
Press as follows:
Hon. Broughton d. Harris, of Brat
tleboro, is likely to be presented by the
Wlndham County Republicans, as their
candidate for lieutenant governor. MIR.
Harris ia a staunch republican and was
president of the Republican State Con-
vention Of 1868. He is we'll known in
the State, and cannot fail to have many
friends in the convention, if presented
by his county.
a gentleman in the eastern part OF
the State writes to the st. Adams Adj
yertiser that Quartermaster-General W.
w. Lynde, of Marlboro, is looming up
as candidate for lieutenant governor.
The Rutland Herald thinks there can
be no doubt but COL Franklin Fairbanks
would make model lieutenant govern
or; and that his service as speaker OF
the House demonstrated his capacity as
a presiding officer.
The Messenger is authorized by Hon.
L. P. Cotton, Of Irasburgh, to say that
he will not permit the use Of his name
as candidate for lieutenant governor.
The republicans of Brandon have
chosen six delegates to the State Conven
tion and instructs them to 60 first, last
and all the time for N. I. Sprague, Jr.
for governor.
Hon. Crosby Miller, of Pomfret, ant
Hon. B. d. Harris, of Brattleboro, have
addressed letters to the St. Adams Mes
senger, endorsing the nomination O
Judge Peck for Governor.

To DESTROY INSECTS. Hot alum wa
ter is a recent suggestion as an insect.
eide. 1t will destroy red and black ants,
cockroaches, spiders, chintz bugs, and
all the crawling pests which infest our
houses. Take two pounds of alum and
dissolve it in three or four quarts of
boiling water let it stand on the fire
till the alum disappears then apply it
with brush, while nearly boiling hot,
to every joint and orevice in your closets,
bedsteads, pantry shelves and the like.
Brush the erevices in the floor of the
skirting or mop-boards, if you suspect
that they harbor vermin. If in white.
washing ceiling plenty of alum is add.
ed to the lime it will also serve to keep
insects at a distance.
Cockroaches will flee the paint which
has been washed in cool alum water
Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed
from ants by drawing a wide chalk mark
just around the edge of the top of them
The mark must be unbroken, or they
will creep over it; but continuous
chalk mark half an inch in width will
set their depredations at naught. Pow
dered alum or borax will keep the chinta
bugs at respectable distance, and trav
elers should always carry package in
their hand bags, to scatter over and un
der their pillows in places where they
have reason to suspect the presence o.
such bedfellows.-Jo1u7aal of Chemistry

Rhode Island still adheres to the old
custom of having the high sheriff cry
the election of the governor from the
balcony of the state house on Inaugural
ton day, and is the only state in the
Union that does. The custom has been
kept alive at Newport ever since the
charter was first granted TO the colony
10 1868.
