 James Craig, the tramp who shot Mir. Wyaut, gave his residence as Westford, near Lowell Mass. It seems that this statement was correct, for his father and brother, two men of very respectable ap- pearance, came on to see him, last week, from that place. It is said that the elder Craig is Baptist minister: he was great ly shocked at the crime his son had com: mitte6. and went to. Washington with a view of seeing Mir. wyant, if possible, and expressing his sorrow and regret for hii sons conduct. It appears that James Craig. who is now about 21 years of age left his home some six years since ana m has been waslierings about the acountr. ever since, his friends knowing nothing of his whereabouts. He claims to have worked for atime at Brook6eld. .sand agail at Birmingham this summer. Mir. Wy ants condition was not quite as favorable as had been hoped, at last accounts.

 AtLord's Cotton Mills Baldwin's) O the Biz Elk, ninety feet of the dam bfeae was carried away. It is estimated tha between 4OO and 800 perches of ston were swept down the stream from thi dam. The head. gate of the race was pal tiaIIy destroyed, and a heavy. stone va forming one end of Che saw-mill building was carried sway and the water wheel de moIished. Here, as at the other poinl mentioned, the entire aspect of the plat IS changed. Immense gullies have bee washed out and huge sand banks bui up, while large boulders are scattere here and there, presenting a wild an desolate appearance.
