Mrs. South Caroline webster.

Mrs. Webster came to the close of a serene
and well spent life, at the house of her son
James Foxwell, within mile of the villageIin
Fryeburg, Tuesday Dec. 19.-She belonged to
the old and we'll known Cntts family of Saco-
where she was born April s, 1S01-descending
on her fathers side, from Richard Cuts, who
owned Cults Island in Kittery, and on her
mothers, from Thomas Cults who owned
Cults, now Factory Island, Saco. She OUT
lived her husband James Webster, who was
formerly merchant in Saco.
One of her relatives while residing at Wash
ing, made the acquaintance of southern gen.
tleman whose daughter was named South Car
olina, and thus her name was derived. Her
niece, native of Fryeburg, now Mrs G. B
Ruggles of Cleveland, o., to whom the name
was transmitted. was teaching in Alabama,
when the rebellion broke out, and although, +,
firmly upholding her Union sentiments, she
received many compliments for her names
sake. Incidentally however, it may be men
toned that the 'chivalry' forgot to pay her for
an elegant and expensive silk flag which she
had painted for them, although an invalid
and that on her way home, she travelled in the
same train with New Orleans Zouaves, who
said, their sole desire to be let loose in the
North; who promised the women at the sta
tions, who asked them to bring them back the
head or scalp of Yankee, that their request
should be granted.
Mrs Webster's family were sufferers from
French Spoliation, and hoped in vain for some
reparation for their losses. The papers prov
ing their claims, were entrusted some years
since to Mrs. Senator s. A. Douglas, who was
the daughter of their kinsman James Madison

SAD TRAGEDY.

Cashier of the Pennsylvania Treasury
Shot Dead by a State Senator.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Dec 22.-Shortly before
ten O'Clock tnis morning the town was thrown
into intense excitement by the report that
Captain A. G. Mutt cashier of the Pennsylva-
MIA State treasury had been shot and killed in
a room in jennings Hotel by N. L. Dukes, a
well known member of the Fayette county bar
and member-elect of the State Legislature. The
high social and political standing of both men
gave such prominence to the affair that the
hotel was surrounded with excited citizens
Capt. Mutt had just returnee from Harrisburg
to spend the holidays with his family, and left
home with his nephew Breckenridge, stating
he had some business at the hotel with Dukes.
On the way there he told him he had received
some infamous letters from Dukes and wanted
to have an understanding with him.
The two men went to the hotel, and Nut
started up to Dukes room. Breckenridge fol-
lowed but stopped on the stairs to speak to tn
hotter propretor's son, named Featters. While
conversing scufliug was heard in the room,
and both ran to the separate combatants, who
were found on the floor clinched, in terrible
struggle. Breckenridge and Featters sue
ceeded in parting them, when Dukes drew a
revolver, saying, "You came in here to whip,
and so I Shoot" at the same time firing.
The ball took effect just below Nuts eye,
penetrating his brain snd killing him instant
ly. Dukes quietly walked down stairs, where
he was arrested. As stated the affair has ere
sted intense excitement, but what was in the
letter or what was the motive which led to the
murder is still mystery.

while Mr.. John s. Morris of this city held
stock and proxies to the extent of 257, ,970

least this is the way that Mr.. Bishop puts il.
At the next meeting the report Of the treasur-

A Very Particular Clergyman.

New HAVEN, Conn. Dec. 90. In the dining
room OF the New Haven House, quite an ex-
citing scene occurred. Mrs Augusta Foster,
a member of John McCollough's Companylwas
shown to seat at the same table with Rev.
f. S. Hyde, an Episcopalian clergyman, for
merly Of Lockport, N. Z. 1t appears that Mrs.
Foster left the dining room, having occasion to
go to her room for pocket book. On her re-
turn her seat had been changed the waiter
saying that Hyde objected to any members of
dramatic company occupying same table with
him. The occurrence reaching McCullough's
ears he hurried to the dining room and finding
Mrs. Foster in tears, turned to Hyde and in a
voice loud enough to be heard in every part of
the room said, "If it was not for the cloth you
wear and which you dishonor, L would give
yon personal chastisement that you would
not forget SO long as you live.". A meeting OF
parties was arranged subsequently by the pro-
prietor of the hotel, and the reverend gentle
man apologized, claiming that he intended no
insult to Mrs. Foster, he merely objected to
transient guests sitting at his table the waiter
had misunderstood him. Mrs. Foster is well
spoken of by her associates who are loud in
denunciation of the conduct of the minister
