MURDER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
A Woman Suspected Of the Crime-On
the Right Track at Last.

Manchester August 81. This afternoon the
police arrested Mary Lynch, unmarried, and %
years old, on suspicion of being the murderer of
Mcaael Toomy, the lad found in dying condi-
ton on Church street, last Saturday afternoon.
She lives with hel sister. A thorough search OF
the premises was made Immediately after her ar
rest. The boys cap was found in privy con-
ntcted with the tenement. and also several pieces
Of cloth wi h bloody stains them. a hole was
cut through the cap, evidently made by the blow
which produced death. The family Denied hav
ing a Ratchet or hammer IN the house, but a
search revealed the possession Of both. A COM
mon claw hammer being found in a closet which
had evidently been washed. but the stains were
distinctly traced on the head. The booy was ex-
humed this morning, and the coron-rs jury
made an examination. The heat ,.. lA......-r
was found to hit exactly one OF the wounds, aud
doubt exists That the right clue is obtained at
last. Toe Lynch grl denies all knowledge of
the affair, anu sloutly mautains her inn Jcence,
though sue appears nervous and gives way to
fir. que mt fits OF paroxism. She says the last she
saw of the Toomy boy, he was setting on the
front step with her little nephew, not more than
five minutes before he was found dying, immedi-
ately fronting her door. She was alone in the
house No. Ii with the children during the entire
day Of the murder, atten ling 10 household duties.
She i, rather prepossessing in appearance, and
nothing WAS sand against her reputation previous
to this. She has been cripple from childhood.
Goes with one crutcn and does not look like one
capable Of committing this fearful crime. Tue
Cap found in the privy was fully ideni ied by the
boys father. The coroners jury meet ut 9 o clock
TO morrow morning to take testimony. 1t is
thous ht she struck the fatal blow in heat
of passion, then realizing what she had done, set
about to conceal the evidences Of guilt. Atty
Gen. Tappan is expected to conduct the hearing
before the coroner s jury to morrow.

NallOwell local NemS.

The regular meeting Of the Reform Club at
City Hall on Sunday evening was well attended
aud addresses were made oy Rev. Messrs. LEILA
cheur, Emmons, Harding, Allen and others. Mr..
LeLacheur, president of the club, has manifested
an earnestness of purpose in the cause and its
prosperity truly commendable; and the various
clcrgymen and all other true friends of temper
ance in the city, have contributed valuable aid in
sustaining the organization and encouraging the
members to maintain the right and live in accord.
ance with their pledges and professions. Many
VIII for years had been addicted to habits of in
temperance have been reclaimed; and still there
is room for others to copy the example of the So
Der reform boys connected with this club.
The sudden change of weather within few
days causes a sudden searching for overcoats and
iannels, that had been laid aside Is
useless encumbrances of no practical use what
ever. Autumnal days will soon be succeeded by
frosty piphts-and then will come stern winter
again with all his old time rgor. Let US not flat
ter ourselves with the idea that we are to have no
more hot weather this season. There is more to
come and perhaps right speedily.

A Beautiful Sight.

Mn. EDrroR:-A spectacle of rare beauty
has just been witnessed in this village, at the
ilence OF John Diggles, Esq. For more than
twenty years, Mr.. D. has had one of the several
varieties Of the night blooming cereus in process of
growth. Belonging to the catcus family. its de-
velopment was for long time very slow. For the
last half dozen years, however, it has ally cul
inflated in a spectacle that has yielded exquisite
pleasure to the wondering beholder. This year it
produced eight buds whose expanding glories have
been joy to look upon. Just at nightfall on last
Wednesday evening, two buds began modestly
to unfold themselves; on Thursday evening, three
on Friday evening, four; on Saturday evening
one. The successive processes were witnessed with
wondering delight by many spectators. No pen
fifty describe, pencil can fifty portray the
marvellous beauty that offers itself to the eye when
this exceptionally singular flower is fully expand
ed. True, it is only for night; but the memory
of it abdes afterwards, and yields fresh pleas
ure as often it is the subject Of thought Nor is
the wealth of its perfume any less wonderful. In
its supreme hour it fairly loads the surrounding
atmosphere with its superabundant sweetness.
And then the plant itself, apart from this an
nual display of beauty, is object of much inter-
est. Though one at the root, it rises in two par
alel columns to the height of nearly ten feet,
and might attain to a much greater altitude but
for the check put upon its growth by the ceiling
of the apartment that constitutes its "winter
quarters"
For many years Mr.. Diggles and family have be-
slowed no little attention upon house plants and
ornamental gardening, and with results that of
necessity tell favorably upon the taste and culture of
the community by which they are surrounded.
Nor their efforts in this direction, as well as
in others, unapprecated by multtudes of their
friends and acquaintance. SoJouRNER.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Proclamation.

Charleston, August 81 Governor Chamberlain
asissued proclamation regarding the threatened
effort Of the negro, Whpper, to take possession OF
the Charlestown judgeship by force. The COVER
nor says:
"Any such attempt by w. J. Whipper or those
who may aid and abet him, will be regarded and
treated by me, not only as an unlawful and riot
GUS disturbance of the public peace, but also as
outrage upon Judicial authority not to be
tolei ated in civilized State"
He warns the law officer to oppose Whippers
pretensions promptly and vigorously, and says
that if they fail to do SO, he will act at once and
then organize a sufficient force for the State con
stabuary under his own direction and control to
support the authority of the rghtful judge.
