The Downfall Of John c. Crowley at
 Boston.

BOSTON, Feb. 7.-The alleged dedication of MT. John 0. Crowley has excited vast amount of talk about the city to-day and many were the expressions of surprise and sorrow among his many friends and acquaint- ances when the story of his downfall was made public. From all that has been ascer- tained it is evident that the debts of the flu gitive will exceed in amount the figures first mentioned ($75, ,000), although the tangled condition of his affairs will prevent the &C., tual amount from being made known for some time. Several years ago MT. Crowley's father died, leaving an estate which was heavily encountered ,and to support this debt and to support the cause of charity as lavish ly as he did proved too heavy a burden. De- voting nearly all his time to charities, public matters, etc., he left his business affairs to subordinates and became extremely careless in his business methods. He gradually became entaugled and his irregularities are attributed to theee causes rather than to criminal intent. Even those who have been vietimized by him are disposed, in many cases, to view the mat ter in this charitable light, and while be- moaning their losses, still have some words of sorrow and sympathy for the unfor- tunate man. Mir. Crowley was not an ex- travagant liver and was not known to be sons some of his friends believe that he took with him large amount when he sailed for Europe M1 Crowley leaves a charming wife and two grown up children, and there is universal feeling of pity for them in their misfortune.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or hastened the breaking up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight. of hearing, the human voice, the mtnd-one or more, and sometimes all, yield to it's destructive fnflu ence The poison it distributes throughout the system attacks every vital force and breaks up the most robust of constitutions Ignored, because but little understood by most physicians, impotently assailed by Quacks and charatans, those suffering from it have little hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave It is time, then, that the popular % in the reach of all passed into hands at com petent and trustworthy The n @ new and M hit hitherto paration of his Radical Cure has won the hearty approval of thousands. It is instantaneous in af- fordipg relief in all head colds sneezng snufling and obstructed breathing, and rapidly removes the most oppressive symptoms, clearing the head, sweetening the breath, restoring the senses of smell taste and hearing and neutralizing the con- stitutional tendency of the disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.

Entertainments.

It would seem that nature sought to make a man to fit the mantle of the lamented Me- Cullough and that man was Robert Downing Of splendid physique, careful and pains taking artist he is fitting successor of the great tragedian. Indeed, in some respects he is the latter's superior. As Spartacus he gladiator, and above all he is an actor. He has been called the Edwin Forrest of the present day and in many respects he deserves the title. No actor since the days of that great tragedian has been so suited physically to assume the robust roles made famous by Forrest. "The Gladiator" is too wei known by New Haven audiences to need any review here. It was written in 1S46 by Dr. Bird, of Philadelphia, for For rest, and was the character with which the latter became identified and it was long his wish that it should nev CT be played after his death. He later presented it to Mccullough, his leading support, from whose estate MT. Joseph H. Mack, the manager for Robert Downing, purchased it. Last season was Mr. Downing's first as star and the difficult role of Seartacus was not beyond his ambition. Our theater-goers remember his presentation of the play in this city last season, and are pleased to note healthy improv ement in his interpretation of the role. It certainly is one of the most difficult in the entire literature of the stage and its attempt by new aSplranG TOT stellar honorS was daring one His success has been most gratifying A large audience witnessed his presentation at the New Haven Opera House last evening and showed it's appreciation by frequent and we'll merited applause. A call before the curtain followed his dismissal of the Roman envoy in the fourth act. Robert Downing is an actor of promise whose presentations of other of the roles of Forrest will be looked forward to with interest by theater goers everywhere. He expects gradually to assume theseroies, ,Othello and King Lear for instance, and if the success attends him in them which he has gained as Spartacus his fame will be assured. The supporting company last evening was fair. Mention may be made of William Harris as Pha ss-ius and of Miss Mattie Earle as Lonona The play re- ceived an elaborate and correct setting, thing seldom seen in tragic performance. The fields of Campagna iii the third act was painted by Voeghetlin from sketch made by the artist on the spot. The costumes were historically correct. In fine the romantic drama probably never received better, if as good setting as Downing has given it on his present tour. Tonight the Gladiator will be repeated, and tomorrow evening MT. Downing will appear as Marc Antony in Shakespeare's Julius Cesar. At these per formances the house should be filled, for Manager Wall is offering really fine attrac tion.

 Mir. Boutelle, of Maine, asked unanimous consent for the present consideration of the bill to relieve certain appointed or enlisted men of the navy and marine corps from the charge of desertion. The bill was passed. It relieves from the charge of desertion such ap- pointed or enlisted men in the naval service who can show upon satisfactory evidence that he served until the expiration of his term of enlistment or until May 1, 1861, or was prevented from completing his term of service by reason of wounds received or dis ease contracted in the line of duty and who failed to be mustered out When the charge of assertion is removed such man, or in case of his death his heirs, shall receive all pay or bounty withheld on account of the charge of desertion. All applications for relief under this act must be filed within five years after it's passage.
 The House at 3:3O adjourned.

HEAVY SUITS AT NEW LONDON. A Rich Man Sued For Divorce and an Evangelist Wants Damages For His Character


 Character.
 NORWICH Or, Feb. 1.-Two heavy suits have been entered in the office of the clerk of the New London Superior court to be tried at the February term which sits at New Lon- don on the 14th inst. Mrss. Benjamin Hall sues for divorce from her husband, alleging intolerable cruelty and asks for $40, 900 ali- monv. MT. Hall is a wealthy manufacturer of the frm of Hall Bros, and is alleged to be worth $125, ,000. He has been married to his present wife about two years. His first wifes children are said to be the bone of contention.
 The Rev. c. c. Frost has filed a suit for $50, 900 against Charles c. Haskell upon an allegation of libel and defamation of charac- ter. This is @ counter suit which grew out of Mr. Frosts Butte, Mont, mining troubles. Mr. Haskell some time ago sued for the cancellation of the Hope Mining company's contracts with Mir. Frost on account of al legged mismanagement of the company's busi- ness by him as treasurer and also for the re- covery of moneys alleged to have been over drawn. Mir. Haskell also has a suit pending in courts in this county against the Rev. c. O. Frost to recover the face of 8 note endorsed by him for money loaned relative. These cases create considerable interest in this vii cinity and the result will be looked for with interest.
