NEw York, July al. Hammond,
after careful and thorough investigation
of the pathological changes in the case
of Eutwistle, the compositor, who was
bitten by dog two weeks ago, and died
yesterday, says that no peculiaritits
could lie found, nor were there any
changes that wonld not be observed after
death from delirium tremens, except
thickening of the blood vessels, which
had probably been going on for years.
The cause of Eutwistle's death was hard
drinking. The patient had fear Of n.y.
drophobia before him, induced perhaps
by the bite OF the dog, and the fear of
water had been very prominent with
hiin. When in true hydrophobia, the
patient does not fear it, but cannot
drink it. Entwistle could and did drink
it when he really tried to do so.
George Ellis, President Of the defunct
Bank OF the Commonwealth, has been

A TEST These Credit Mobilier and
back-pay fellows are not going to be
happy during the campaign. Already
we hear that Poland is not likely to be
reelected to Congress from Vermont, on
account of his being mixed up in those
dirty transactions. The fact is that the
best thing for the country will be not to
allow single one of the present Congress
or Senate to be reelected that cannot
show clean record as regards the Credit
Mobilier, the salary grab, the whitewash-
ing committees, the gagging bill, and
other measures and proceedings that
clearly show how utterly Enthusiastically
is the National Legislature as at present
constituted.

BROTHER MULLET Things are begin

who appears to be an expert in the SCI

out of a very limited salary. The last
news concerning this artistic luminary
is that he has let q contract by which
the Government is to pay all expenses
and then give the contractors fifteen per
cent OF the entire cost. What pleas

papers dare say word about such profit
able little arrangements. They will
have TO be gagged, or Mullet will be
turned out-tbat's certain.

An old scamp named Shirley, aged GO.
living near Bangor, California, fell in
love with girl aged II, and because she
refused to marry him, killed her father
and came pretty near killing her. The
girl was rescued and the murderer ar
rested by neighbor named Moore, who
showed much courage and GOODNESS. The
assassin is now in the Orovile Jail, from
which, it is to be hoped, he will only
emerge attached to the end of rope.
His style of courtship is altogether too
primitive for the present age.

A SINGULAR CHARGE OF BIGAMY.-A few
months ago young woman arrived in Portlau =,
Maine, OF pleasing address, and soon after be-
anne the wife of Mr.. Edwin Waite, a young
and respected citizen. A few weeks since there
lso arrived in Portland, from Pictou, y. s., a
man named John Waller, who claimed Mrs
Waite as his wife, and also the mother OF two
children, wi ON he brought with him, AMI they
all swear to her identity. The woman denied
the charge, and insisted that she never saw or
knew Waller; and he has instituted a suit for
blgamy, which has been commenced in the
Supreme Court at Portland. The defendant is
about thirty years of age, and the prosecutor
about the same age. The indictment cha ged
tlat the parties were married on the 29Jh of
May, 1867, and after separation of seven
years, no divorce being granted, she married
Waite. IL is charged that during her absence
from her husband, John Waller, in July, 1873,
less than three months after her marriage with
Waite, she made a visit to Truro, ostensibly TO
see her uncle, she said: but that she passed on
TO Pictou, and remained four or Eve DAYS as
walters wife, and was seen, known and recog-
nzed by her former acquaintance there. Wal
Ter positively Identities the woman as his wife,
and the case, which is still on trial, excites much
interest in the community. Waller and his chill
dren swear that the woman is his wife and their
mother, but she denies ever having seen them
and maintains the most perfect composure
waller charges that the woman who married
Edward Waite in 1873 was yet his wife, having
married him in 1862, no divorce having been
obtained.

time Of his arrest. He was represented by able
counsel, and paid little attention TO some OF

snow that the niagnesis, which unquestiouably
contained great quantity of pure arsenic, was
not procured from a druggist, but had been
furnished and prepared by DIR. Smith himself
Furthermore II was shown that the doctor was
aware OF Bagnesia being given to the child, and
had sanctioned the proceeding. When the child
expired he informed members of the family

to-day to eNhuine the body of James Mcdonald

from dose OF this msgnesis, aud have his
stomach submitted to analyzatIon. The evil

Smith IL either q consummate Quack or a

had no motive in poisoning these innocent per-
sons, unless il was a mania with him, as il has
been with others. For instance, Mrs. Grinder
was hanged at Pittsburg for such crimes He
was again committed TO jail pending a further
