DEATH OF WELL KNOWN MERCHANT
Mr. James Freeman, the we'll known oyster
merchant, died at his residence on High street,
yesterday afternoon. The deceased has been
engaged in the wholesale oyster business in
this city for about twenty-five years. He was
born in Wellfeet, Cape Cod, and when quite
young moved to Portsmouth, N. H.. where he
commenced the oyster business. He had but a
small capital which he had borrowed from a
relative, but by strict attention to business he
was soon able to repay the borrowed money and
conduct the business on his own money. About
twenty-five years ago he came to this city and
opened an oyster house in brick block on Fed
eral street. near where the Advertiser Office is
now situated. The fire of '66 destroyed the
block and Mr.. freeman was heavy loser
thereby. After the fire he opened large
wholesale oyster house on Union wharf, where
he has conducted large business ever since.
He can justly be called the originator of the
wholesale oyster business in this city, and since
he has done more business than all the other
firms combined. He was wideawake busi-
ness man and was always prompt in the pay
ment of his bills. He employed large mum.
ber of men during his business here, and al
ways insisted on paying then off every Satur-
day night. Those who have had business with
Mr.. Freeman pronounce him an honest, straight
forward business man.
Mr.. Freeman Joined Strawberry Bank Lodge
of Odd Fellows while residing in Portsmouth,
and always retained his membership. He was
also member Of one of the Encampments
and a member of the Relief Association. He
was member of Portland Lodge and Blanque-
fort Commandery of Masons. He has been un-
well for about a year, and for several weeks has
been confined to his house with Brights dis
ease of the kidneys, from which disease he
died yesterday, at 81 years of age. The fune
raj will take place tomorrow Afternoon. and it
is expected the Masons and Odd Fellows will
attend in body.
SAC RED CoNCERT.-The sacred concert at
Chestnut street church last evening was very
pleasant affair and the church was crowded.
The programme was much the same as that of
the anniversary exercises Thursday evening.
After an organ voluntary the chorus of Sab
bath school children sang "We meet you once
again." with organ accompaniment. Mr..
Chandler, who was present, assisted with the
cornet, The effect of the combination of
voices with the instruments was very fine
Rev. Mr.. Baldwin read from the sculptures and
offered prayer Mrs Baker sang "Flee as
bird to the mountain" in her usual pleasing
style. Mrs Cole sang "Not sparrow falleth''
much to the satisfaction of the entire audi
ence. Consider the Lies.' by Mrs. Files
was rendered finely. Owing to severe cold
Mr.. J. B. Coyle was unable to sing alone. A
quartette of male voices composed of Messrs.
Everett, Davis, w. and A. Cole, sang several
selections during the evening. DR.. Files pre-
sided at the organ with his usual good TASTE
The concert was very appropriate to the Sab
bath and every part of it was interesting.

Correspondence Of the Cologne Gazette.l
BoRmo, (Lombsrdy,) July 1.-THE
Vienna advocate, DR.. Sigismund Fessler,
made this morning. the ascent Of the
Sielvio Pass from Eyers over S~pordinig
and Trafei. A hour above Trafci, at a
height Of about 500 feet, at the place
where the 0rtler, Stelyio, and Madatsch-
Corner form that most fearful, impassa-
BILE ravine in which the Adige has It's
source by the three sacred springs, DR..
Fessler perceived on the slope of the
ravine a blue veil stained with blood.
The Vienna Tourist was not a little hor,
rifed when he noticed that the traces OF
blood led down into the depth Of a ra-
vine. He suspected an accident or q
crime, and although the descent into the
bottom OF the rayine was not free from
danger, with the aid of two passing
peasants, he let himself down into the
it; aud there be found the body OF a
young woman, about tw~enty-four years
Of age, elegantly dressed, dead, with
three gaping wounds on the head. The
wounds appeared to have been made with
n sharp instrument. The body was lying
at the bottom with the head downward
Ian the circumstances indicated a crime
and in particular the broken handle OF
sun umbrella found by the dead body
showed the struggle in defence that ha'
taken place. DR.. Fessler left the tw'
peasants to watch ever the corpse, an,
crept back up the ravine On all tours
and soon after the district magistrate o
Glurus appeared on the spot and mad
an examination. The report OF the Grim
spread like wild6re through the neigh
boring hamlets, and thus it came abou
that its perpetrator was soon in tn
hands Of justice. He is an American
who lived in Spording with his wife-th
murdered lady-and a maid servant
Yesterday he went with his wife to T;f
fol, and came back thence with the n
port that she had fallen on the road, an
had suffered bodily injuries. The in
probability Of this statement, and h
lack Of interest in the fate Of his wife, il
creased the suspicious. Soldiers weI
e ordered from Gomagoi, and the Amer
can, whose true name has not thus IL
( been revealed, was handed over to u
police court of Glurus. The maid hi
also been taken into custody.

The case of Indian Mag, the negro
man who was arrested here a few days
since on the charge Of wearing woman
apparel, is a curious one. He has been
wearing woman's clothing for several
years, aud has acted in the capacity Of
house servant and nurse at the dwellings,
of many citizens. Some months ago be
inveigled a rural Arkansian into his
den on Fourth street. and robbed him
Of forty dollars, for which he was in
dicted and put on trial before the Crimi'
nal Court, but the man frsm Arkansas
was so ashamed at being caught in such
low company, and in so vile a place, that
he failed to appear and prosecute. I'm
dian Mag" was sentenced to twelve
months Imprisonment in the workhouse
or Presidents Island, on the charge oil
being a vagrant. AT this time every
body believed that Indian Mag was @
woman-her make up" as theatrical
people say, being perfect in detail and
outline. After being on the Island a few
months her appearance began to change
and she announced that a coming
event was probable. General Forrest
and family took some interest in the
woman and she was excused from labor,
and the General went so far as to have
g some dimiuutive garments prepared for
3 the reception Of the expected. When
| DR.. Morrison, county physician, visited
the Island his attention was called by
y General Forrest to the woman, and the
!. doctor taking a look at her, bnt not max
ing an examination, suggested her re
lease so that she could 20 to the hOspita
and receive proper treatment during be-
q ACCOMPLISHMENT. Indian Mag was turned
v loose and returned to the city to com
"a mence again plying her or his nefAriou.
- trafc. Her conduct created suspicion
q in the minds Of several negro womel
who resided near the den OF tn
d villain, and the police authorities were in
q formed that there was no doubt but tina
. Indian Mag was a man instead Of a VIC
,. man. The arrest followed, and the teI
low at once confessed his sex, but q med
, Iical examination by competent physl
clans settled the fact beyond peradveu
ture. The clothing worn by the fellow
was gotten up in an adroit and artist
manner, and the rotundity Of form wa
!, the result Of rag stufing," which s.
imposed upon General Forrest, DE-, MOI
rison aud others. Indian Mag is no.
