A DISPATCH from Tombstone, Arizo-
ma, 18th, says: A party consisting of VIM.
Long, Dick Gray, James Crane, Charles
Snow, Thomas ID. Clinton, VIM. Berer and
| Harry Ernshaw camped last Friday night in
Guadalupe Canon, about 1 10 miles east from
Tombstone and very near to the Mexican
line. Early Saturday morning the party
was attacked by MeXicans, and Long.
Gray, Crane, Snow and Clinton were
killed. Berer escaped with wound
in the abdomen, while Ernshaw ran
amidst n shower of bullets. 1t is in
timated that the Mexican party numbered
from twenty five to thirty men. The condi-
ton of the camp indicated that an attack was
made just as the murdered men were getting
up. They had evidently been killed while
yet lying down. Long was driving some
cattle to Tombstone and the others were in
his employ. A party has been organized 1T
Tombstone to avcnge the massacre.
THAT unconscionable old scoundrel,
who, under the various aliases of Thomas
A. Marvin, Gen. r. A. Moulton, Gen. Ken
ningham, Arthur Merritt, etc., etc., has
within few years married dozen women
in various parts of the country, beside
swindiing banks and private persons right
and left, has again been captured, this time
Mt Lynn, Mass, and it is hoped will now be
effectually estopped from the further pur-
suit of his favorite pastime of despoiins
l.
His last and most notable exploit was con-
summated a few weeks ago, the particulars
Of which have already been widely pub
lished. By means Of an advertisement for
governess, published in an Eastern religious
paper, he secured correspondence with
number of ladies, which led to personal
acquaintance with at least two of them and
a marriage with both after brief courtship
and within few days of each other. One
OF these victims was Miss Turpin. of Rich
mond, Va, young lady of good birth and
excellent attainments; the other, Mrs. De.
Hart, young widow, daughter of L. G.
HOvey, Presbyterian minister at Lakewood,
N. j. Ills marriage with the New Jersey
widow took place on July IL, and on the
Goth, nine days later, he married the Rich
mond lady. 1t is needless to add that he
made both speculations pecuniarily profita-
BILE, obtaining in each case, upon various
pretexts, and generally by means Of forged
drafts, liberal sums of money. He will be
taken to Richmond for trial.

THERE is no improvement in the con-
dition of affairs in Peru. The prospects for
peace appear to be remote. The Chiians
have so far reduced their army of occupa-
ton that active operations do not seem now
to enter into their calculations. The oppo-
sition is pressing the Ministry to resign.
