The UNEXPLAINED absence of the Rev. j. r.
Thompson, popular Brooklyn minister, has
caused much anxiety among his friends for the
last two weeks They will be gratifed to learn
that he has returned home safely.
Another terrible story of shipwreck and suf-
feung comes from Sable Island. In heavy
snow storm brig was dashed to pieces on a
sand-bar, and three of the seven men on board
were swept away. The steward cut his throat.
The others reached shore after being an hour
I'm the surf but two of them were frozen to
death before reaching place OF safety. The
single survivor barely escaped the same fate.
Sable Island is well called /" the graveyard OF
the Atlantic
The outward conditions could not have been
more favorable for Christmas. We had bright,
clear, bracing day. The sleighng was excel
lent and the jangling of sleighbells was inces-
SAINT in the Park and cup the road" There
was plenty to eat in all the institutions of char
ity. and peace and goodwill everywhere pre-
vailed In two respects the day was I'm pointed

crime was appallingly large. Yesterday the
police had comparatively little to DO.
The story told by the negro who killed the
Park Ridge storekcepcr will naturally be
looked on with suspicion. He says that Cur
nee melted the quarrel that resulted in his
death. and that hc took the money only because
he happened 90 see IL. The money was found
IN his possession, only n dollar having been
spent. The New-Jerscy detectives have been
much more successful In this case than they
were IN dealing with The paullin murder, which
f. still an unsolycd mystcry but then this was
not n particularly official, case 70 handle. The
credit of finding the murderer, however be-
longs TO railroad ncw,boy.
The letter of our New-Orlcans correspondent
shows that n vast amount of work is necessary
before the Exposition will be in n complete and
satisfactory condition. The weather has beer
unfavorable thus far and the grounds arc ex'
ceedingy muddy One thing that was over
looked was the means of transportation which
are wholly inadequate now, and will be more
so when the number of visitors increases. I'm
less these defects are renedied the Exposition
will fail to accomplish what It's projectors an
tcipated. AS was TO be expected, the hote
