There was some effort to mark up the rate f)r

There was good demand at this rate, however aud

Sytcide


BRIDGEwATER, Susquehanna County, Pa,
Dec. 10.-On Friday last this community was
thrown into unwonted excitement by the dis
covery of q shocking murder and the suicide of
the murderer. Israel Chamberlain, a wealthy
and well-to-do farmer, has lived unpeasantly
with his wife tor years. and the whole evil culmi-
mated Friday nightin the tragedy. The murderer
seems to have deliberately planued the time
and place for his double crime, as before shoot
ing himself he went over to his brothers and
asked his brothers wife to "come over and stay
with mother tonight" His sister-in-law started
few minutes after his departure, but before
proceeding far heard the report of gun from
the workshop. She reached the house, aad upon
inquiry for Chamberlain's wife could learn
nothing of her whereabouts. Search was
made during the hisht, but the missing
woman could not be found. Early on
Saturday her BODY was discovered in the cellar
frightfully mangled as with an axe. The floor
was of loose boards, where she lay upon her
back, her hands folded on her breast, her head
and neck completely besmeared with blood as
was also one of her hands. There were two
gashes in the right side of her head little back
and below the ear, besides several bruises, evil
IDENTIFY committed with an axe.


The body of Chamberlain was found in the
workshop, lying upon the floor, with his gun at
long, with one end bent, at his side. His vest
was unbuttened and thrown back, his shirt
stained with blood, showing he had shot him

The Daring Attempt the Bank of tho State


of New YOrk-No Property secured.


The N. Y. Post of last evening says


The janitor of the Bank of the State of New
York, corner of Exchange Place and William
street. yesterday afternoon discovered that de-
termined attempt had been made to enter the
bank from the second floor of the adjoining
building, No Al Exchange Place. occupied by
Brown & Duning The burglars had easily
effected an entrance into the Office of the per-
sons above mentioned by forcing the lock with
a chisel. They then raised pile of furniture
against the wall, and standing upon the platform
thus constructed, began to bore hole through
the ceiling in the direction of the bank. 1t is
not known what caused the alarm of the thieves
but they apparently left in great haste as they
did not stay to remoycthei tools. When Cap
tain Petty, of the First precinct who was at
once summoned by the janitor, arrived, he
found that hole bad been cut ia the upper part
of the wall, two feet long and six inches in
width. He also found several sacks, some
tools, and file, which had been forgotten by
the burglars in their flight. No clew has yet
been discovered that is likely to lead to the
Identification of the robbers, but they are un-
doubtedly professional thieves, and had been
at work for long time when they were dis
turbed.

uuceu NtCtoEfaB Ntstt To Eurtb IN lCDO


The Pail Mall Gazette publishes q curious
letter relative to Queen Victorias visit to France
In 1856, extracted from the imperial eories-
pondence of Napoleon III. After alluding to
the visit of Henry VIII to Francis /, on the
Field of the Cloth of Gold, and of Queen Victo-
ria to her husbands relatives at Coburg, this
letter or memorandum concludes with these
remarks:-


Where will the Emperor go to meet the
Queen of Great Britain if she comes in person
Or will the Emperor await the Queen at st.
Cloud, contenting himself with having her re-
ceived at the port of decentralization by Prince
Napoleon, who would be charged to accompany
her to st. Cloud !? On the other hand it is to
be remarked that Prince Albert, who came to
meet the Emperor and Empress, is not king; he
is only Royal Highness, the husband of the
Queen. Moreover, the Queen of England did not
come to the capital, although the presence of
our Empress, whose rank, if not sovereign is
very superior to Prince Alberts, might have
induced her to add somewhat to the poiteness
of the ceremonial adopted on this point. But,
on the other hand, it is not with political
visit, but purely one of politeness, that we are
now concerned, and II is natural and necessary,
in France especially, to receive it with a cour-
tesy which shall not be spoiled by some detail of
etiquette. 1t is essential to recognize the woman
as well as the queen. All the polteness in our
manners will be in good taste, and there will be
nothing to compromise the dignity of the couu-
try in the person of the sovereign, in so far
that he represents this, because such in-
1ractlons OF etiquette, Wnen woman Is
concerned, cannot be drawn into precedents.
If in the ordinary relations of society, it is the
man who under all circumstances goes to meet
the woman, it ought to be the same between
sovereign and sovereign and if the British
Parliament has permitted the Queen to pay O
visit on the ContiRent to her august ally, it ex-
poets, without doubt, to see her received in a
manner worthy of the two nations in a
manner altogether French; and the cti-
zens of the three Kingdoms will all be
sensible to whatever courteous attentions the
sovereign of France may lavish on the Queen
whom they confde to us. 1t seems, then that
under present circumstances, the Emperor may
despise etiquette, and every infraction of the
etiquette peculiar to sovereigns will turn to the
advantage of personal convenience and interna
tional Rsympathy. Prince Albert, who came tc
meet their Majesties at Dover, is not King, bu
he is in some sort so in the eyes of the Queen O
England To enhance his rank in her presence
is to please her. and good taste is thus in accort
with Imperial hospitality" -

BOUNDARY QUEsTIoN.-The Canadian sur


veyors claim that Gen. Pope is establishing the


northwest boundary on the forty-ninth parallel


of latitude, DETECTED on both sides of the true


parallel to the distance of four miles in places,


taking in what belonged to Great Britain at
some points and leaving out what belonged to
Uncle Sam in others. Some journals suggest
a joint commission appointed by the two Gov
ernments to settle the difficulty. Donald Grant,
a Canadian Scotchman of this city, suggests a
reader and better mode of solution in his
statement to some friends here short time
since, on returning to this place from visit
to his old Canada home, after an absence of
several years. He went back expecting to
find well-conducted and prosperous people
living under British laws and protection, and
with the full conviction that the United States
would be vastly benefited by being annexed to
the British Dominion of Canada. He returned
with the settled conviction that Canada ought
to and soon would be annexed to the United
States, and that in the short interval it was
hardly worth taking out naturalization papers.
This would solve the boundary question.
