Finding Fortune in a Trunk-Hfdden Wealth Revealed by a Vigorous Kick. PORT JERv1s, March 13.-This town has just had a sensation of an unusual nature, caused by the finding of fortune in an old trunk recently by MT. George E. Waters, a welIknown business man, of the firm of Waters & Cole, provision merchants. Mr.
 Waters went into the garret of his residence to get some bed clothes which had been stored away in an old trunk, and in order to get them out quickly kicked the trunk over, when a false bottom fell out, revealing some papers. An examination proved these papers to be New York bankers securities for 5000 worth of government bonds which had been placed in his hands several years ago. Mir. Waters also found title deeds to an old home stead property formerly belonging to his mother, located at Kingston. No sooner had he found the valuable papers than he started for New York, where he found the bonds safe. With accumulated interest the bonds are now worth $12,9 1868. Mir. Waters is a young man, and was worth $20,O00 before he made this unusually lucky find.
 The trunk in which these securities were concealed belonged to MT. Waters father, who went to California when the gold fever first broke out and came home with 8 for tune in gold dust in this trunk. MT. Waters, ST., has been dead over six years, and it is believed that he put these papers in the false bottom of the trunk and forgot all about them, as he did not refer to their existence in any of his papers.

In case Edgerton should decline the next choice of the Governor will be Gordon E. Cole, of Fairbault Cole is the choice of the northern part of the State which it is claimed is entitled to the Senatorship. Strong inf1u- ence will be brought to bear upon General Edgerton to decline so that the Senatorship may fall to Cole. It is probable that Edger- ton will be promised the gubernatorial suc- cession.

A Singular Case.

BRIDGEPORT, March 12.-Casimar Fabri gan, young Frenchman, who came to the business office of Warner's corset factory about three weeks ago to teach the duties of shipping clerk to a new employe, was taken sick on Monday with a quinsy sore throat, ously sick, and his disease had to all appear ances passed the most serious stage of his ill., ness, and he began to recover. The swelling in his throat broke and discharged Friday, giving him great relief and putting him in excellent spirits. He felt so much better, in fact, that he arose and dressed. A few minutes later, while sitting in chair conversing pleasantly, he was sud- denly overcome, and had hardly been got back upon the bed before he breathed his last. His sudden death was a great shock and surprise to his friends, and to none of them more than Dr. Hubbard, his attending physician Death resulted from spasm of the g1ottis, result, but very uncommon one, of the throat trouble from which he was suffering. Dr. Hubbard says the case was one in thousand. The young mans father, who is 8 professor of languages in New York College, was at once telegraphed the sad news, and came up on the 12:40 train. The remains accompanied by procession of the corset shop employees. were taken to the depot and placed on the 4:O5 train. A magnificent floral piece-the gift of the employees at the factory-rested on the coffin. The deceased was about twenty years of age, and was 8 young man of fine abilities and great prom ise. During his short stay in this city he won the regard and affection of all with whom he was associated.

 Prison-His Speech to the Court.
 HARTFORD, March 13.-Henry Kinghorn, who murdered his wife last September and was convicted of murder in the second de, gree on Tuesday last, was on Friday morn ing sentenced by Judge Martin to imprison ment in the State prison for the term of his natural life.
 Before receiving his sentence, he said in g clear, calm voice, his eyes cast down:
 Your Honor, regarding the shooting of my wife. have hardly the slightest recollection. It tc me like looking through dim, dark cloud to re member 1t now. For days previous l cannot re- member anything. remember very little about buying the pistol and nothing about giving it to John Hilton.
 look upon my punishment as the effect of drink ing liquor, which brought delirium tremens which had, not so bad, perhaps, as some have had them but certainly had them
 As for my wife, one regrets her loss more than pore her death and shall cherish her memory to the last day of my life.
 He then stood unmoved, and the judge asked him if that was all he wished to say Hereplied. s'That is all" Sentence was then passed.
 shudder passed through Kinghorn's $ frame at the last words of the judge, but he showed no sign upon his face of the inward fire. Since his conviction he has been moody and inclined to blame those who testified against him. After receiving sentence he conversed freely with his counsel and others until remanded back to jail to await transpor- tation to Wethersfeld.
 Kinghorn's only grandchild, little daugh- ter of Kinghorn's oldest son, was buried in Cedar Hill cemetery, Hartford. Saturday af- ternoon, by the side of the murdered wife

New York NIhilists Jub1lant.
 NEW YORK, March 13.-The feeling in this city among the few Nihilists over the death of the Czar is intense and sternly jubi- lant Almost all the Russian and German extreme socialists are men who have been banished. The Ozar, they say, was placed above all law except that law of last re- sort. Some of them are in favor of making public resolutions expressing ap- proval of this iniquitous act. Others are op- posed to shocking the feelings of this com munity, which they say has been so used to freedom that they cannot rightly measure the terrible incentives to revenge which genera tions of tyranny give to an oppressed people.
