HORRIBLE OUIRIGE IN AMERICA. Early in November last a young man, named Charles G. Kelsey, disappeared from the village of Huntington, Long Island, and was not since heard of until, on the .30111 ult., a portion of a human body was found floating in Oyster Bay. It seems that Kelsey had "fallen in love" with Miss Julia Smith, a young lady of considerable personal attractions, who, however, was already engaged to a Mr. Royal Sammis. He wrote verses to her, dogged her footsteps, sent her insulting letters, and rendered her life miserable. Neither threats nor arguments were of any avail, and at length he was seized one night by a number of men, stripped, tarred, and feathered, and his head denuded of hair. In this state he was exhibited by the light of a lantern to a number of persons; and when finally be was released he dressed himself and went home, where he was observed to take a bucket down the yard for water to wash himself with. Here all trace of the unfortunate man ended, but marks of a struggle were subsequently perceived, and the tracks of a horse and waggon. A man named Hood saw two men going out on the same night in a boat, having with them a large bundle, which he did not notice on their return. For many months it was thought that Kelsey might have left the town, or have committed suicide under a feeling of shame; but on the 30th ult., while two men were at work in their boat in Oyster Bay, they perceived a pair of pantaloons, which, on pulling them to the boats, they found to contain only the thighs of a man. The remains had been horribly mutilated, and to them adhered fragments of tar and feathers. The pockets of the garments contained a watch and chain, which were at once identified by the relatives of Kelsey as his property. Other articles of clothing belonging to the missing man were subsequently found on the beach of the bay. Those who allege that he has been the victim of a foul murder state that he unmasked some of his tormentors whilst ho was being tarred and feathered, and that he was heard to say he knew them, and would make them repent of it.

OPYRIGHT.) 'II  PAINFUL TRAGEDY IN NEWCASTLE --A YOUNG COUPLE COMMIT SUICIDE. On Monday an inquest was held at Newcastle on the bodies of Stephen and Jane Moor, a young married couple, who were discovered dead in-bed on Sunday after taking laudanum. Thomas Gibson, tripe preparer, said the bodies the jury had seen were these of Stephen and Jane Moor. The former, who had married his daughter, was 20 years of age, and a sea-going fireman. Hie wife Jane was 19 years of age, and she had been married to the deceased, her husband, over 12 mouths. They had -lived happily together until a ithin the last fortnight. He first heard that something was wrong on Surielay morning, when he was I told that the young couple had not got out of bed. I lie went to where they lived, and found the door locked and the blinds drawn at the windows. He effected an entrance into the house by going through he window with the aid of a ladder. He walked straight into their bedroom, and found them both lying in bed. Stephen was snoring, and his wife was gasping, and both seemed unconscious, as they :ailed to respond to his shouting and shaking. The eife died first at 20 minutes past two; Stephen only ilved 10 minutes afterwards. He saw two bottles on the table in their bedroom. His daughter was limbic to write. A MOTHER'S ETORY, . Elizabeth Gibson, the wife of the last witness, Aho cried bitterly in giving evidence, said she found the two letters on the table, and when she took pos=ession of them there was, a bottle placed on each. She knew of a cause which would have broui ht about .he unhappiness which was known to have existed lately between the young couple. It was all on account of a young woman who was in witness's service. A fortnight ago witness and the deceased seaman went to the theatre, leaving Stephen, the husband, alone in his house. The next morning the servant girl told witness that improper relations had ..aken place between her and the deceased young man. A short while after, on the same night, he came to witness's house a second time and asked the girl if she would step over to his house " to put I few coals on the fire." She consented. The servant ;irl was 17 years of age, and her name was Elizabeth dell. Witness asked the girl why she had not raised the alarm, as Moon's father was in her house ; and she said it was because she could not help herself. Witness told her daughter of the affair the same day. xnd that night (Tuesday), when her husband returned from work, his brother John, who had been informed of the matter,took him to task for it. In the presence ef his wife, he accused him of the fault, but, hiding us head in his hands he made no reply. All John's endeavours to talk the matter over were of no use, is the deceased man would make no answer. The next Friday, Elizabeth Bell intimated that she was eoing to tell her father of what had taken place, and, when Stephen heard this, he told wallets that he "would never stand the disgace."

THE CAUSES OF SUICIDE. It cannot, says the Hospital, any longer be denied that the number of suicides is rapidly increasing in this country as well .as Continent.. The Spectator gives two reasons_for. this.-- One chief cause,it - affirms, -is -the "dwindling of religiouslaith." Another is the want of "elasticity of nerve." That is to say, in the region of mind people have lost hope, and in the region of the body they have lost pluck. No facts are given in support of these contentions, but there are few grounds for ques., tioning their soundness, and many for admitting it. One or two facts, it seems to us, offer strong confirmation of the contention. In Scotland,.lvo believe, it will be found that as yet, at any rate, there is little or no increase in the number of suicides. Now in Scotland religious faith is still strong among the better as well 43 among the poorer classes, and physique and nerve are less impaired than in the nwre . southern parts of the Kingdom. Indeed it is probable that in London itself will be found the principal part of the increase in the number of suicides. Now London has a poorer general physique and nerve, nOC only than Scotland, but also than other parts of the United Kingdom. Moreover, it is decidedly more inclined to Atheism, or at any rate to in' difference in. matters religious. Are these factS so? If they are, it is time the thoughtful amonl us were tiling measures to check the mom disintegration which is beginnng to prevail, and to consider also what steps, if any, can be taken to secure an improved physique for Londoners. One thing, is certain, and that is that suicide shews feebleness both of mind and body. If the best our daily and weekly prophets, the neVaa papers, can do for mind and body is to weaken hem,-it might be well for us to consider the ?ropriety of dropping our newspapers and doing something to revive the reputation and the liar ging energies of the pulpit. Probably no cIaSS of human beings work harder or are more poorly paid than the adherents of the Salvation ArniY. But in the Salvation Army suicide is practicallt unknown. if it be the province of science deal impartially with facts, here is a fact which is well worthy of consideration. It is officially stated that there is absoluteir no foundation for the reports that have bBe,ll, 'published with reference to the health a 0,/Grand Ducal Highness the Princess Sir Francis Johnson Chief Justice of- th 6 Superior Court at Montreal) died on Sunday'.
