The Late Congresn,nan UpdcgraH.

The news Of this sentleman's death
shocked the people on both sides Of the
river Yesterday, and MANY regrets were ex.
pressed on every hand over his untimely
decease. Now that he is gone, after much
suffering for months past, the dissensions
and heart-burnings that arose in conse.
quence Of his third term" candidacy,
which were very bitter indeed during the
past summer, and greatly reduced his
majority, all that is unpleasant in connec-
ton with his aspirations and canvass will
he properly consigned to oblivion, and the
man remembered only for what lie was
in other respects. 2 KY
lie was man Of great force Of character,
Of 1T. indomitable will and purpose, Of an
aggressive temperament, and consequently
one Of these who, while they succeed by
superior energy and strategy, yet
challenge the resentments and jeal.
easies OF competitors, whose aspi-
rations tend to I the same good as
their Iown. While the Doctor was
Quaker-born and Quaker-bred, yet he had
very little in common with their pacific
quiet, contented and unaspiring life. He
was full OF ambition, greatly desirous Of
entering and remaining in public life, had
marked confidence in himself, was fond OF
roliticalexcitement, notvery deferential to
others, but a. man Of heroic resolution,
great yigor Of procedure and an uptiring
disposition to work. He made himself
useful in public life to his constituents,
and they have seldom had more efficient
representative. 2s;Essls55& ii ,s 4.
1le was well educated, he had trav-
ele,l a good deal both in this coun.
try and in the old world, had had
very practical experience Of life both
IN tue army las surgeon) and in
civil life, and was well qualified to be d
member Of Congress. He was n man Of
good habits, never absent from his post,
always Oh the alert to gather aud utilize in
formation, and as q public servant WINS q
growing and expanding character. His
next term would no doubt have been the
most useful one to his people, for he had
studied, observed and become famillar with
MI the matters Of business; and in new
House, although controlled by tho oppo.
sitioc, man of his fortitude Of purpose
would hive made his mark. His death is
therefore a great loss 10, the people OF the
Seventeenth district. f.$s g'S.,{
Dr. Updegraf was devoted to tue agri.

gave him strong bold on the farming
community in his district. But for this he
would have been beaten In tue late can.

thoroughly, and, moreover, was practieai

A YOUNG SCAMP WITH A GUN.
Under Arrest fur Killing His Eigh
I.l ..u Year Old kIstrr @lp,l..

MAnLDoRo, MASS, December 1.-Joseph
Moriarity, aged Is years, at Northboro,
secured an old gun yesterday and amused
himself for some time by firing oil gun
caps. At length he entered the house and
began aiming the gun at his sister Minnie,
aged s years. Finally he aimed directly ut
her, saying allow easily can kill you,"
and fired, discharging Il shot into the
girls right leg, necessitating amp,uation,
which caused death. 1t is believed
that he loaded tue gun during the absence
Of his brother, who went out to tell his
father Of his bud conduct toward Minnie.
Young Moriarity was perfectly conscious
Of the enormity Of his oiIerse, but played
about afterward with apparent unconcern.
Some weeks ago he obtained horse at Il
livery stable and drove the animal till it
dropped dead on tile road. He was taken
to Worcester this morning and handed
over to the authorities.

One of the curious developments of
trade in Southern California is the
traffic in tarantulas and their nests.
1t is an entirely new avenue of trade,
and to Master Leo FIeishman seems
to belong the discovery and develop
ment. He began a short time since
to gather their curious and Ingenious
ly contrived nests for relic hunters
and curiosity seekers, and as the trade
increased he began the capture and
preservation in state of nature of the
tarantula itself, which he does by in
jecting into the animal arsenic in con-
siderable quantities. This has the eft.
feet of preserving the tarantula and
destroying all its poison, and it may
be handled with perfect impunity
after such treatment. In certain
localities these insects are quite nu-
merous, and the industrious hunter
will sometimes capture two dozen in q
day. and these when prepared and
nicely mounted bring six dollars per
dozen.
