Tie jackass brig is horse of another
kind from the bligantine, Vessels of this
class were square rugged on each mast,
but carried only topsails and topgallant-
sails, while the full rugged brig and
b!igantine have royal yards across. We
do not see that our correspondent has
helpt the Bangor News much. The vessel
he saw was certainly not brgantine.
There may have been such a rig as men
toned by the News some time in the past,
but not on this side of the A tlantic within
the past fifty years. The hermophrodite,
OF half brig, and the bIigantine, are the
same thing. The latter is the English
and the former the American term for this
rig and brigantine is now the common
designation. ED. Journal.

Fought Battles Between the Mexi-

Two sharp Engagements.

Official reports of two battles be-
tween Mexicans and Yaquis have been
received. Gen. Luis. Torres had de-
clared the campaign suspended until
October, but the Yaquis were not con-
suited on that point Lorenzo Torres
also appears to have made different ar
rangements. On Sept. IA Lorenzo
Torres crossed the river to Vicam, a
town supposed to have been captured
by Luis Torres in August, and found
the Indians. They attacked his rear
guard and a running fight ensued. The
report says the Indians were dispersed
and nine killed. The Mexican loss
was five killed and nine wounded,
among the latter Lieut. Col. Navarro
of the 18th battalion, one of the best
officers on the Mexican side. On Sept.
18th another engagement was fought
and il is officially announced that the
Indians left 81 dead on the field, while
the Mexican loss was IA killed and 81
wounded.

the first woman ever convicted OF muir
der in Michigan, has married ID. IL.

the contents of the bottle, and he told
her it was arsenic. Not having any
occasion to use the poison on that day.
he put it away. Mr.. Brooks died soon
afterward, and it was proved that ms
death was caused by arsenic poison.
The bottle containing the poison was
missing from Stewards house, and ne
reported his loss to the county ofnciais.
After thorough search the empty vial
was found in the Brooks residence
After three days deliberation the jury
