CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
LOUIS TOCKsTEIN, an insane man, es-
capped from his keepers at the St. Charles
Hotel, at Chester. ILL.,, on the morning of
Thomas Ryan, while the family were at
breakfast, assaulted them with an ak which
he had picked up on the way. Thomas
Ryan, aged 80, Mrs. Julia Smith, his widow
ed daughter, and her little girl, Sarah, were
all three butchered in the most horrible
manner. A9-year-old grandson of Mr.. Ryan
witnessed the maniac's assault, and fled to a
neighbour for assistance. The murderous
lunatic was finally recaptured and sent to
Jacksonville for confinement.
PARTICULARS have been received at
Galena, ILL.,. of the recent terrible death, in
a snow-slide in Colorado, of Lieut.. Thomas
Gray, of that city, and companion named
Charles Eaton, an employee in the Gaslight
Lode, near Tyner, Colo. It seems that Gray
and Eaton, with others, were descending
one of the range of mountains which divide
the North from the Middle Park. When
half way down they were buried I'm.
der an avalanche of snow from above.
Three of the party escaped, while Gray and
Eaton were buried deep under the snow.
The body of the latter was found eighteen
feet below the surface, while that of Gray
had not been recovered. The last named
leaves wife and four children.
A TERRIBLE ARRAY recently occurred
in Newberry County, S. c., between the

pistol shots from Mr.. Lyle, while Mr.. Lyle
was killed by blow in the head from club
in the hands of James Thomas, Jr. Lyle was
a son-inlaw of James Thomas, ST., and the
difficulty grew out of family feud.
WILLIAM HALL was hanged at Sher-
brooke, Quebec, on the 10th, for the murder

attends reserves held by banks.
Another objection to the issue of United
States notes Is, that they are made q legal
tender in the payment of debts. The Ques-
ti0n of the constitutional power of Congress
to make them such is one for another branch
of the Government. The Secretary of the
Treasury is still of the opinion that this quality
OF legal tender does not add to the usefulness.
safety, or circulation of United States notes.
So far Is it excites distrust and opposition to
this form OF Acknowledgements 1t is q detri-
ment. The fear that q withdrawal of this at
tribute will contract the currency is as deIu-
sive as was the fear that resumption would
have q like effect. The notes would
still be received and paid out by the
Government, and, like bank-notes, would
not be refused in payment for debts
while they were redeemable and prompt-
ly redeemed in coin ON presentation.
As the quality of legaitender was attached to
these notes when first issued. and was then
essential to their value and circulation. the
public mind IS sensitive when any proposition
is made that by possibility might impair their
value, but it is their redemption in coin that
makes them now equal to coin and of ready
circulation in all the marts of the world.
While this Is maintained It becomes ,compar.
at1vely 1mmaterial whether they are legal
tender or not, and II by the action Of Congress
or the Courts they are deprived of this quality
they will still be the favorite money of the
people.
Another objection to United States notes il.

by Congress, and that this power is liable 10

The Latest Fashion.

Ordinarily, an umbrella is rarely seen
on the streets of Winnemucca, but last
evening proved an exception to the
rule, and nearly everybody who, was
obliged to venture out, and could steal
one, did so to protect them from the
rain. We say steal because in San
Francisco, where such articles are in
constant use at this season of the year,
the papers say they are invariably sto-
len, and Nevada people like to follow
