SMALL Pox IN CUMBERLAND.-On
Monday last it was discovered that the
cases of sickness at the American
House, Oh Baltimore street, pronounced
by the attending physician to be confu-
ent or malignant chicken pox and not
dangerous, were continent small pox of
the NEST virulent description. A sec
ond patient died on Monday and a
third on Tuesday. On that day the
American House was taken possession
of by the authorities locked up, Ia
beled with smallpox" sign boards and
put in charge OF Waterman. The
dead were buried and all infected cloth
ing and other articles burned, so as to
prevent their disseminating the baneful
disease.
Yesterday there were rnmors that
other cases OF small pox had appeared in
different sections OF the city, but we
are as yet unable to give anything au-
thentic, and prefer not to excite alarm
by giving rumors that may be ground
less.-Cumb. Neps.

SAD CAsUALTr.-On last Tuesday
evening, Mr.. Robert P. Briarly, resid-
ing near Darkesville, permitted his little
son, aged about FIVE years, to accompa-
ny him to his cornfeld, where he was
husking and hauling corn, the little fell
low riding behind on the horse. After
the wagon was partly filled he got upon
the top of the corn without being per-
ceived by his father, he tumbled OFT, fall
ing Immediately in front Of the hind
wheel, which passed transversely over
his body. Mr.. b. Immediately discov-
cred him and quickly carried him home,
hoping almost against hope that he was
not fatally injured, but alas his worst
fears were realized; his little boy, an on
ly son, and the pride of his heart, sur
vived his injuries, but few hours after
the accident occurred. The parents
have the sincere sympathy of the COM
munity in their sad and melancholy be-
reavement- Sfaiesman.

A New JERSEY TRAGEDY-A rye
Murders her Husband.-On Wednes-
day morning the quiet village OF Mar
boro, near Freehold, Monmouth county,
New Jersey, was startled with the in-
telligenoe that q murder had just been
enacted within its limits, aud that the
victim was a man named Michael Ganly,
and the slayer his wife, Mary. Michael
had been addicted to ~hiskey drinking
for the past two years. On the day
before the murder he went to his work
as usual. When evening approached,
however, he brought bottle of whisky
at still-house near by, and started tor
home in drunken condition. He was
met by his wife, and qurrel ensued
after they had reached home in relation
to the whiskey, he accusing her OF
stealing it from him. From words re-
suited blows, then the death ofthe vic
tim. After the dead was perpetrated
Mrs. Gau!y left the house and went to .
neighbor for help, saying that Michael
had cut himself with . razor. People
rushed to the house and found the de-
ceased lying upon Tongue with his
head downward, grooming loudly. He
did not live long atterward. The
nelgbborhood was alarmed Immediately,
and Squire johnson instituted search
in the house. He found it in disor-
dered state, with blood spattered every
where on the walls, and blood and hair
on the floor. A stick, covered with
hair and blood, sixteen inches long by
three in width, was found near the wall.
The squire at once commenced 10 i'm
PANEL jury. While doing so Mrs.
Ganly rushed towards him in menac-
ing attitude with razor, but she was
prevented in time from using il upon
him. An inquest was held, several wit
uesses were examined, and verdict
was rendered that Michael Ganly came
to his death by blows on the head, in
Aicted by some weapon in the hands of
his wife, Mary Ganly. She was accor-
dinghy committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury. A post-mor-
tenn examination revealed the fact that
the head of the deceased was fearfully
cut and mashed, and that the fatal blow
was struck On the top. For some years
the deceased and his wife lived happily
together, during which they saved mon
ey enough to purchase comfortable
home. Of late years they have led q
quarrelsome life, all owing to the influ-
ence OF whiskey. The deceased was
forty-ive years Of age, his wife few
years younger.

THE LEGISLATURES.

This body convened in extra session,
at Wheeling, on Wednesday last. and
is limited to session of thirty days by
the resolution calling an extra session.
There is much business to be done, but
we fear that little If it will be accom-
plshed. The impeachment trial of the
Auditor and Treasurer OF the State will
consume much precious time and amount
to nothing in the end. The Capital
question" will be brought up again and
long aud bitter fight will he had over
it, while other matters of lar more in
,erest to the people a; large, will either
he neglected or hurried through without
deliberation. The Public School Law
is to be revised and must be changed
in many important particulars, or the
school system will prove failure in our
State and woe be unto that party under
whose patronage it goes down. The
Legislature has already made several in
direct efforts to crush out the main stay
of the system, the Normal Schools Of
the State, and this winter another effort
will be made to do the same thing. The
people of the State, those most deeply
interested in this question, are closely
watching the movements of the party
in power and in our next election will
sweep from place and power those who
neglect the interests nearest and dearest
to them The laws OF our State need
codefying SO badly that one can scarcely
tell what is law and what not, and the
law-making power itself seems to have
become demoralized. Our immediate
representative, DR.. Tanner, is acknowl-
edged to be the most active and ener
getic member of the House, attends
CLOSELY to the business of his constitu-
.nts, and is constantly on the alert for
matters touching their welfare. Did
every member go;there.with the same
feelings and with the same object, the
best interests of the State, in view, much
more work would be done and their
respective constituencies lie far better.

MAJ. DANIELS ADDREss.-Maj. John
w. Daniel, of Lynchburg, delivered an
address in Richmond, Thursday, the
28th, ult., at the reunion Ufthe veterans
of the Army of Northern Virginia.
The closing paragraph is as follows;
Nor let the Confederase shrink before
that critic who, from the serene atmos-
phere of his sanctnm, steps forth to
pluck a laurel rom the reputation Of
that great commoner, who 30 boldly at
tempted what others would pale to
think Of With the fall of Vicksburg
imminent, Gen. Lee felt that the no
demanded this herculean effort Will
the spirit of Cesar or Napoleon he
bravely cast and bravely stood the baz
ard OF the die. BY the very audacity Of
his well aimed stroke he deserved-by
the steady heroism of Picketts men-he
well nigh won, and only by series Of
those curious accidents which, in the
game of war, confound the wisdom Of
the wise, did he lose that browning tri-
umpE which his supreme endeavor was
so well devised to win.
1T was all my fault, said Gen. Lee,
bit not such will be the verdict OF the
just historian, who shall trace through
the sanguinary and tumultuous incidents
of that hard fought field the course OF
him, who,| after exposing bis person
with unconscious courage to all the dan
gers of the fray. in the grandeur OF bis
soul would cruelty his own illustrlous
name. and make that reputation more
precious than life itself. a vicariOus sac
rifice for his lieutenants and his men.
And when the moralist, seeking the
brightest example of what is heroic and
grand in action, martyr-like in spirit,
that he may erect model before human
kind to warm its finest fancies and ex.
cite its highest aspirations, he shall find
it in the person Of Robert Lee upon the
summit Of Seminary Ridge, tie mount
of his confguration, where sublimating
all earthly instincts, the divinity in his
bosom was transcendant through the
man, and his spirit rose up into the god
like.
And the day shall dawn when here
on the Capital Square, We shall again
look upon the warriors form and face
moulded in perennial broEze, shall see
him once more mounted on bis battle
steed,the seeming image Of majesty aud
victory; and the eye Of the wayfarer,the
patriot, and the pilgrim shall grow
brighter here as it contemplates with
one glance three illustrious and congo
NAL spirits, born in Virginia. given to
humanity, world renowned-George
Washington, Stonewall Jackson aud
Robert Lee.
