during the war to exterminate the
Northern armies by spreading yellow
fever around the land. The Governor

that while In Canada in 1862 NJ . refu-

vival In his habits, started the yellow
fever theory by way of q practical joke
He never sook any steps in the matter
and the testimony charging him with
that crime was all based on perjury sub

Blackburn is said to be one Of the most

SHOT DEAD BY AN INSANE WIFE

SrRArFoRp, Conn.,, September Pa
The Rev. Dexteor l.. Lounsbiiry, pastor
OF Christ Episcopal church, this OF vii
lage, was shot dead in his bed, by his
wife, while she was temporarily insane,
at an early hour this morning. The rec
tory, in which the tragic affair occurred,
is a large two-story frame building, on
the main street of the village.
At about $50 O'Clock this morning,
Mary Cummins, the domestic, heard
noise down stairs, as II something had
fallen to the floor. Immediately after
there was step in the upper hall, and
Mrs. Lounsbury raped loudly at her
door. She was In her night-dress, mad
in hsr right hand held a pistol, which
was still smoking. She was greatly ag'-
tsted and exclaimed: "Mary, l have
killed my husband"
Mrs. Cummings doubted her state
ment, saying, "Oh, Mrs. Lounsbary, you
have no, ?" 81 have, l have" repeated
the lady, and she burst into fit OF hys-
terical weep ne. The report of the pis-
tol had aroused Annie, the only child,
who dressed herself TO 60 down TO her
mothers room, whence the sound had
proceeded. She met her mother and
Mrs. Cummings in the hall, and with
them hurried down stairs.
Her father lay motionless in bed upon
his ght side. On his pill ow was little
pool Of blood and black powder mark
She shook him and cried, "Papa, papa.
He did not move or answer her. Ihcr
she leaned over him and, raising one o
his eyelids, she saw that white film bad
gathered over the eye. Her mother Ell
tered the room and, dropping the pisto
upon the bed, said. "Oh, have killed
papa" She picked up the weapon again
and, shaking it, threw II violently bacl
upon the bed and sank into chair.
The pistol she bought In January last
while on visit to her grandmother, II
New Haven. Tie house had been visit
ed by burglars, and as her husband re
fused to purchase it for her, she bougl
it without his Knowledge, and had sleT

since.

ASSAULT BY THAMES.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 25.-Ches-
ter Goodale, a wealthy and prominent
citizen of South Egremont, went to his
barn this morning, at seven o'clock, to
take care Of his horse, and, not return
ing, his family instituted search, and
found him lying on the barn floor with
his head horribly gashed and nearly
dead. 1t was at first supposed he was
kicked by a horse, but soon after heavy
club was found, also evidence that
tramps had slept in the barn over night
while his pocket-book, which was sup
posed conta ned $50, was missing. II
was evident that the tramps had made
murderous attempt on Mr.. Goodale
who is eighty years old, and probably
will not survive the assault. The tramps
escaped. Great excitement prevails
throughout the region.

Grant during the latter's circumnaviga
ton of the globe related to Edison and

"He would not be surp ised at anything
Edison might do. If he were to invent
an automatic iamp-post that would col
lar drunken man on the stree. and

Messrs. Editors,-I am puzzled Distress
ed, perplexed in the extreme, as view SO
many competing candidates, all Of whom
are said by their respective friends to be
duly qualified to represent our people in the
next Legislature. 1t grieves me to be con-
strained to run my pen through so many
good!y names at the primary, and sincere
y wish there were offices enough in the
dear old Commonwealth to supply the wants
OF all the nominees.
How / wish old-fas hioned ways prevail
ed Yet, surely il one must choose in spize
OF inclination, Can one not find amidst So
dazzling galaxy some bright, particular
star the magnitude Of whose light shall at
least be equal to that OF any other? think
so, and therefore, without further preface
or metaphor. let me tell your readers that I
think so highly Of James n. Dunlop rs to
be bold to declare my conviction that his is
not name that may be lightly scratched at
the ensuing election. A man Of fine
tact, OF courteous bearing, enlightened
understanding, and unswerving virtue;
we'll read, too, in the letter and spirit OF
the laws, and nc mean master OF the prob
lematical science OF political economy. TO
know the man one should have known the
father. James Dunlop was but recently
the honored head OF the firm Of Dunlop,
Moncure d Co., and as such contributed all
that lay in his power to further the material
interests Of Richmond. BY the way, hu-
manitarian Of the finest type. modest, pious,
God-fearing, and exceedingly tolerant
withal.
"Of good and wise he the just standard seemed
Dear TO the best, and by the worsI esteemed"
Young Dunlop, if elected to the Legisla
ture, will be the peoples representative,
and no other. The moral anatomy of the
man is so made up as TO exclude the thought
that he will dance to the tune OF any politi-
cal iuggler however adroit the latter may
be in "ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain." He entertains too great re-
spect for that relation which ought always
to subsist between q constituency and its
trusted ucssrxantstp astoxusss ssiufsalsc 1nia.
nous role of supple-iack.- The bare fact
that he is Il lawyer practicing in
the highest courts OF this State with
admitted ability give US q guaranty OF
bis soundness on the McCnlloch bill and The
Sunday law. Any measure looking to the
volatility OF contracts. or to the Invasion
OF the sacred domain OF conscience, come 1t
from whatsoever quarter it may, will meet
in him. as the peoples representative,
most hearty and determined opposition.
His views in this particular are in accord
with those very generally entertained by our
people-broad, far-reaching, catholic. and
well-taken with regard to the material in
terests Of the city and State. a man OF this
character-if l have fairly sketched its sa-
lient features-should be supported by every
class OF this community: by professional
men and workingmen, by Jews and Gen
tiles, foreign-born and native.born. and
heartily by all those who need so specially
the talents OF vigilant representative.
