Attempted Murder and
Suicide.

About midnight on Saturday the barn
Of Henry @. Green, living in the south.
crn part of st. Adams village, was dis.
covered to be on fire. Mr.. Green dress
ed himself and started out for the pur-
pose Of saving, if possible, his horse and
COW from the burning barn, but had gone
but a few steps from the house when two
shots were fred at him, the FIRST one
making a flesh wound in the left arm Just
below the shoulder, the second grazing the
inside of the right thigh. Neither of the
wounds are of a serious nature. He i'm.
mediately turned and went into the house,
saying to his wife that he was shot. They
then went to the front door and gave the
alarm, when the neighbors came to their
assistance and succeeded in saving the
contents of the house, which was burned
to the ground also barn with sheds at
tached containing two or three wagons,a and
a horse and COW in the barn were burned.
Efforts were made to capture the perpc-
traitor of the deed if he should still be in
the vicinity.
Fields and woods were searched, but
without success. Suspicion had rested
upon no one until inquiry was made as to
the whereabouts Of one of Mr.. Green's
nearest neighbors, named Clifton s.
Weeks, when it was found he had left
his house that night, shortly before the
fire broke out, and had not been seen
since. His absence, taken in connection
with the fact that he had previously &C.
cused a son of Mr.. Greene of having in.
tcrlercd in his affairs concerning a young
lady named Sarah Wilkins, and had used
threatening language, indicated that he
was the man who had fired the barn and
shot Mr.. Greene. Subsequent discover.
les proved this to be correct. About
noon the report Of a pistol was heard in
the rear of the barns of n. l.. Skinner
who lives across the street from Weeks
house, and about thirty rods from Mr.,
Greenc's place. Parties went at once tt
the spot, and found Weeks just breathing
his last, with his throat cut, and a bullet
hole in each temple, one revolver lying
by his side and another in his hand, ht
having hlcu pouh snOtS au INC euulc tihic
A butcher knife and fresh blood wert
found u little distance from the body
which showed hat he had made a pre-
vious attempt to take his life by cutting
his throat. An inquest has been com
mcnccd, and the testimony of Mr., Greer
and Miss Wilkins has been taken. Tn,
impression is hat Weeks has been par
TALLY insane for some time past, owing t,
his inability to gain the affections Of Mis-
wilkins.

Treasury Robbery.

The exact sum stolen from the treasury
on Wednesday was 47,00S.52, mostly in
five hundred.dollar bills. On the discov.
cry Of the theft, Gen Spinner immediate.
ly called on Maj. Washburn, chief Of the
secret service division Of the treasury,
and had all the clerks in the cash room
and tho employcs. in the branch Office OF
he Adams express company, Immediately
under the cash room, examined, but at
last account no traces Of the package or
The thief had been discovered. Gen.
Spinner is much depressed by the loss OF
such a large sum Of money at a time
when he is preparing his accounts to turn
over his Office 10 his successor. If the
money is not recovered Gen. Spinner will
have to make it good, unless Congress
should come to his relief, as it has done
in several previous instances The cir.
cumstances under which it is alleged this
money was taken make it a very mystic.
rious case. The treasury officials and
the secret service officers all contend that
the robbery must have been committed
by some one inside, but it is believed by
others that il was done 10y a sneak thief.
just as $4,000 WAS stolen by Chauncy
johnson, u famous New York thief four
years ago this month.

lists, and may be found if but once the
seemingly impenetrablo barrier of ice can
be broken down and passed,
This rew expedition consists Of two
vessels, the Alert and the Discovery,
They have both been strengthened in the
most efiect"al ways known to nautical
science. Inside Of both vessels is a thick
lining Of felt, with a sheathing Of plank
above. All the iron work Of the ships is
neatly covered with leather, to prevent
contact between the metal and the hands
Of the men in the low temperature of the
c;rcumpolar region. Eighteen boats and
no less than thirty.ive sledges-the latter
made Of American elm, which is said to
combine toughness and 'ightness better
than any other wood-are portions of the
outfit. The Alert carries five tons of
spirits Of wine, ten tons Of bread, eighty.
five tons OF beef, pork, bacon, coffee,
sugar, flour, and preserved meats, aud ten
tons Of pursers' stores. The Discovery
cargo is a little smaller, consisting of near.
ly the same provisions. Seventeen feet is
the greatest draft Of either vessel fully
loaded.

The Opposition Bankrupt,

The Chicago Times darcs to tell the
truth, even when it hits its own party.
1t says: Any time since Grant became
head Of the administration had they been
required TO state their political purpose,
they would have responded promptly
enough, ~"Opposition :"
Opposition to what? Tell us, pray,
what it is you oppose, that we may at
least infer what it is you want. Do you
mean opposition to a s~windling rag-money
system ? "Wcll, not exactly. Some of rs
are opposed TO the rag.moncy swindlc
but more Of us are in favor Of it.. We
can not say that we mean opposition to
that" Do you mean, then, opposition to
the protcctive-tarif swindlc? "Some Of
US are mildly opposed to the protection
swindlc, but some Of us are vchemently in
favor Of that mode Of piracy. No; we
do not mean opposition to that" Well,
do you mean opposition to the present cor.
rupt and degrading ciyil-servicc system 7
mot that we are opposed to all the
ofiiceholder, under the presen. system but
we are not opposed to the system" You
are opposed TO the present officeholders ?
THAT is it. We are opposed to the pre-.
sent administration to the party in
power;' to Grant and the rest of them.
And what, pray, do you favor? well
sir, anything 10 beat Grant."
This is about as intelligent and ration
al an account of 1.-THE opposition" as any
professional politician among The Outs
can be got to give Of the mythical non.
entity to which that term is applied. 1t
is not a political party. 1t is nothing
that can be fixed or identified by any
definite political purpose whatever, 1t
represents neither a defined nor
a definablc policy on any political sub.
ject. 1t advocates no political measure f.;
purposes no political end. |; is simply a
negation but not even a ncgation Of any
political purpose. 1t is a mere personal
No al individual hostility to Grant, the
head, and the rest of the national officers
constituting the body and tail of "ihe ad-
ministration.'

away. Several lives, too, have been lost.
The losses in the mountain region from

lumber, the inhabitants having barely
time to get out Of the way, while thou
sands Of acres of the best standing timber
were ruined. The loss along Mud river,
where this region was situated, aggre-
gates more than half a million, on which,
however, there is considerable insurance.
