= BIENNIAL MEssAGE.-Gov. Neil delivered
his message to council and house in joint
session on Tuesday eve., the l4th, copy
of which we have received. 1t contains
many practical suggestions which if needed
will render the sitting of our legislature not
WITHOUT profit to the territory. His allu'
sion to "extending every proper encourage
,aent to railroads is little ambi yuous TO,
perhaps he would exempt them from taxa
ton which would be greatly extraordinary
privileges beyond those extended to othe'
citizens and their enterprises. He urges
that the legisla ture adopt means to erad'
cate polygamy or acknowledge their inabl
it.S. ,G1anwillingness to do so. The Idaho
legislature is a powerful body, and may d
what congre IS dare not do.

Remarkable Discovery Of a Murder.

The following account OF a murder which
was committed in Bermuda in the autumn OF
1873 is 10y tie Attorney General Of theisIands,
Nr. s. Br0wul5w Gray
'iu the autumn of 1873 O man committed a
terrible crime in Somerset which was for
some time involved in deep mystery. His
wife, handsome and decent mulatto woman.
disappeared suddenly and entirely from
sight, after going home from church on sun
day, October 20. Suspicion immediately fell
upon the husband, clever young fellow of
about thi1ty. but no trace of the missing yy0-
man was left behind, and there seemed q
strong probability that the crime would re-
main uudetected. On Sunday. however.
October -, a week after the woman had dis
appeared, some Somcrvile b1atmen looking
ont toward the sea, as is their custom. were
struck by observing in tlie Long Bay Chan
mel, the surface of which was rufied by q
slight breeze, a long streak Of calm, such as,
10 use their own illustration, a cask of oil
usually dinuses around it when I'm the water.
The feyeTish anxiety about the missing wo-
man suggested some strange connection be-
tween this singular calm and the disappear
ance. Two or three days after-why not
sooner L cannot tell you-her brother and
three other men went out to the spot where
it was observed, and from which it had not
disappeared since Sunday, and with a series
OF fish hooks ranged alonEa line dragged the
bottom Of the channel, but al first without
success. Shifting the position of the boat,
they dragged little further to wfndward. and
presently the line was caught With water
glasses the men discovered that they had
caught Il i'm a skeleton which was held down
10y some heavy weight. They pulled on the
line something suddenly gave way, and up
came the skeleton Of the trunk. pelyis, and
legs of Il human body, from which almost ev-
cry ve-tige of flesh had disappeared, but
which, from the minute fragments remaining,
ana the terrible stencil, had evidently not
lain long In the water. The husband was a
fisherman, and Long Bay Channel was IA
vOTite fishing ground, and he calculated, truly
enough, that the fish would very soon destroy
all means % Identification but It never en-
tered into his head that as they did so their
Tavages, combined with the process of de
composition, would set free the matter which
was 70 write the traces Of his crime on the
surface Of the water The case seems to be
an exceedingly interesting one; the calm is
not mentioned in any book on medical juris-
prudence that ] have, and the doctors seem
not to have had experience Of such an occur
renee. 4 diver went down and found n stone
with a rope attached. by which the body had
been held down, and also portions of the
scalp and Of the skin OF the sole OF the foot,
and of clothing, by means OF which the body
was identified. The husband was found
guilty ana executed
