A MOTHER browns HER CHILD AND KILLS
HERsELF.-A letter from Ashley, Luzerne
county, Pa, says that frightful tragedy
was enacted in that place on Monday night.
A Mrs. Warner, whose husband, Benjamin
Warner, fireman on the Lehigh and Sus-
quehanna railway, was killed some months
ago, retired as usual on Monday night, with
her son, eight years old, and an infant
about year old. Inmates of the house
heard her get up in the night and go out
doors, returning in few minutes. She
was found dead in bed with her throat cut
next morning, and her baby was discovered
in a rain barrel at the side of the house,
drowned. Mrs. Warner had been in low
spirits ever since her husbands death, but
on the night of the tragedy had returned
from visit to relatives in Nanticoke in ex
cellent spirits. By her husbands death
she came into possession of a handsome
property. 1t is supposed she committed
the crime while temporarily insane.

ROMANTIC AND SAD.-The death of Miss
Ida V. Branch, aged %, which followed a
surgical operation at the Maryland Univer-
sitv Hospital last Wednesday has brought
to light singular romance in real life.
She was the daughter of James Branch re-
siding near Smithtield, Isle of Wight CO.,
Va. and possessed extraordinary beauty,
and was besides young lady OF culture
and refinement. She was the belle of the
village and had many admirers. Among
others who sought her hand was a Mr..
Ferguson, the son of Il neighboring farmer,
to whom, with the consent of her father,
Ida became betrothed. In January last
certain indications in the appearance of
Miss Branch aroused q suspicion on the
part of her father that the intimacy between
them had been of an improper character,
and Mr.. Branch communicated his suspi-
cions to his daughter The latter earnestly
denied the imputatiOn. His suspicious
were allayed, but subsequently they were
again aroused lie visited Charlottvile,
and physician, after an examination, con-
frmed his suspicious. Notwithstanding
this she again protested her innocence, and
a second examination 10y another physician
revealed the presence of an ovarian tumor.
Dr. Randolph, who nade this discovery,
recommended her removal to Baltimore
for medical treatment. She arrived there
on the 18th inst. and was placed under the
care of the faculty of the Maryland Uni
versity The tumor grew SO rapidly that
an operation was found necessary. She
was assured that the tumOr would result in
death in few days. while the operation
might possibly save her life. She readily
assented. requesting that if she died post
mortem might be made in order to establish
her purity and innocence. The operation
was performed on Friday, and the tumol
when removed was found to be of the ex
traordinary weight of forty-four pounds
She rallied slightly, but subsequently sank
and death ensued on Saturday afternoon
1t was discovered that decomposition had
begun before the tumor was removed, and
that she could not in any case have lived
more than day or two. Her remains
were taken to Virginia for burial.

there, offered by Congressman Muller
(Democrat) in his congressional district, was
won by II mulatto, about twenty years old,
named George A. Minnie, the son of a
Spanish mulatto, and who has straight
black hair and looks more like a Spaniard
than a man of color. The young man has
always stood high in the schools in which
he has been educated, and has Il good
moral reputation. Young Minnie acquitted
himself in a most creditable manner in the
competitive examination for the appoint
ment, which was conducted by II lawyer, &

GOO, or 9S per cent of the whole, being

Senator Mortons illness has called fresh

in the Senate and its possible disappear
ancr altogether. The Senate stands at
present with 50 Republicans and 33 Demo
Gratis. one independent, and three vaean-

filled with Democrats, as is predicted, the
Republican majority would be reduced to
three, and if Mr.. Morton should not re-
cover the majority would come down to
