MYSTERIOUS ArFAIR.-A. j. Graham.
respectable and strictly temperate farmer.
resting in the village Of Bethel, was found
on Saturday evening, wandering about
short distance from his home. in an insane
condition. without his hat, with wound
upon the back OF his head. As his hat was
found lying in the road underneath rail-
road bridge which crosses the highway near
where he was found, it was at first sup
posed that in the darkness of the evening
he had accidentally fallen through the
bridge But a. Mr.. Graham remembers
nothing that transpired after be had passed
a switch in the track some rods above the
bridge. and as his path did not lie across
the bridge, bat turned before reaching IT,
and tracks leading from the spot into the
lot near by. and he receiving no other
wound or bruise than that upon the back OF
his head, the theory Is gaining ground that
il was not an accident but an assault with
a club or other weapon.

TaE BARRE TRAGEDY.-At the cxamina-
ton of Asa $. Magoon, for the S-reeter
murier at Barre, Wednesday, much dam
aging testimony was ELECTED. Among 9th
er things, it was shown that the boot
tracks in the road where the scuie took
place were made evidently by two persons,
one, a boot without heels, the other with.
Magoon's boots have heels worn entirely
away. TIE physicians testified that death
was caused by 4 wound in the abdomen,
letting air into the luags that the check
bone was fractured by blow and not By
jamming against q stone; that the cut
across the abdomen was made before the
body was dragged under the fence. and
probably before life was extinct. Streeter's
bloody clothes were brought in, spread ont
on a table. and handled piece by piece by
Mr. Heath. the prisoner, Magoon. rising
from his chair and gazing down upon them
with a wan aud haggard countenanee, an
occasional tear starting in his eyes. First
came the soldiers coat, with blood on the
collar: then an old sack coat and wOOllen
shirt, parts O. which had been soaked with
blood then the pantaloons. rent asunder,
and bloody vest. in two pieces, one torn
off and found outside Of the fence, and the
other half taken from the corpse. The sight
was slckening, ana the garments emitted a
deathly odor. Five photographs of the
, also exhibited. Lizzie doubt is expressed
that Magoon will be hound over for trial,
which cannot, however, take place until
March next. al the evidence tends to
point to him as having murdered Streetel
while erazsi with alcohol or whiskeY, which
