Our readers have not forgotten the
horrible brewery murder in jamestown,
N. Y, on the 30th of August last, by
which German named Buchanan was
murdered in cold blood, and his body,
scarcely yet cold in death, thrust in a
furnace and consumed. The attention
of the authorities was first called to the
terrible tragedy by a Pole, named
Bodiniski, employed about the premises,
who charged the owner of the brewery,
Charles NARROW, with the. crime. This
charge was strengthened by the fact
that the murdered man had been seen
frequently with NARROW within short
time,-havlng stayed at the brewery the
night of the murder,-an was known
to have declared on more than one occa-
sion that he had a large sum of
money on his person. subsequent
investigation of the furnace room
also revealed the fact that blood
was scattered over the floor and
walls, though it was evident that most
assiduous efforts had been made to wash
away the traces of guilt; while in the
ashes were found bits of bone. char.
red flesh, buttons, etc., which left the
murdered mans identity beyond ques-
ton, and the conviction of, MARROW
matter of mere legal form. - @i2oo9


To the surprise of every one, however,
at the preliminary examination the
aged mother of Marlow took the stand,
and freely confessed to the crime, de-
failing with wonderful minuteness every
circumstance in transaction. The SEN
sation which this apparent confession
caused was Of course great; but subse-
quent testimony, together with that in
troduced at his regular trial, not only
fixed the old woman's story as de-
liberate falsehood, conceived and carried
out for the purpose of clearing her son,
but even resulted in the conviction Of
Marlow himself. ge 4.;F 5ssf ot I'D


The long and interesting trial closed
on Tuesday last, when the jury, after an
absence of three hours and a half, re-
turned verdict of guilty of murder in 4
the first degree. The scene in the I
courtroom during the rendering of the ]
verdict is described in the jamestown
Daily Journal as most impressive. Mar
low exhibited no visible emotion, but
retained the same icy appearance which
has marked him through the entire
trial. His wife, who sat by him, at the
adjournment of the Court passed to the
side of the counsel of the prisoner and
burst into g, food of tears. On the
following morning the prisoner was
brought into Court, and sentenced to
be hung on the 29th day of March next.


While pronouncing the sentence the
prisoners wifesat near him, and neither
she nor the prisoner exhibited any ap-
parent concern. Many persons in the
audience were affected to tears, and
Judge Lamont pronounced the sem

The Solemn Profession OF Four Novices
at tho Convent of The Good Shepherd.


The usual secluson Of the cloistered religious
of the Ladies OF Charity Of The GOOD Shephcrd'
was yesterday invaded by the few guests whom
special permission allowed to enter the chapel to
witness the profession of Sister Mary OF the I'M
maculate Heart miss O'NeD, Sister Mary Placide
Miss Kervin), Sister Mary of the Seven
Dolors Miss McGonigle), Sister Mary OF the
Nativity miss Doyle). The little chapel was
bathed in the soft light OF early morning,
the fragrance OF freshly culled flowers filed the air
and the pensive strains of the "Ave Maria Stellar
fell with soothing softness on the ear as the long
rank OF Whitehead devOteeS wended its way into
the choir and the PriOress ana her assistant led TO
the altar the four virgins who solicited no other
higher place than the lowcst in the house OF God"
Receiving blessed candles the novices seated them
selves facing the altar while Rev. Father Durthacr
addressed them on the course they had
adopted, and In deeply solemn manner eXhorted
vnced himself as well as all present that the can
ddates were well qualified for and well advised OF
the importance OF the lasting obligations they
render them full members OF the congregation
whose sole high mission 1t is to reclaim the
path OF honor and virtue and having learned
that the Prioress and community 'ully asscnted

The oflcant then blessed the veil and silver
heart, giving the heart to be worn as an emblem
OF the virtues OF the pure heart OF the Virgin whom
the religious should strive to emulate; the veil was
then given the novice to put before her eyes that
she might no longer see world she had renounced
forever; and as the PriOress arranged the veil she
also crowned the newly profcssed with wreath OF
snowy blossoms; the newly prOfessed then rising
mp sang This is the place Of my rest; here shall
dwell, for have chosen it, The Ofciant then told
her she was dead to the world ard to herself, and
could live but in God, in solitude as in tomb and

black pall over her and the choir chanted
a psalm for the dead. After the pail

MOVEMENTS OF STARS IN SPACE
General Dufour. of Switzerland, in the
course Of recent investigation, attempts
to show that in the case of the movement
of two stars around a point supposed
fixed, this point must be in motion.
He also concludes that the curve is plane,
and that the stars remain in the same
plane during their translation and the
inference is that these stars have both
received one impulse and q parallel
movement, also that the movement Of
the apsides proves that the centre of

The newspapers are belaying the |. s. Senate Committee on Finance for having re- gently reported adversely on the bills to abol- ish the Income Tax, to reduce Internal Rev enue Tax, and to abolish the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

 There are, however, many people who won't fume if the weIl-to-do portion of the community are made to pay income tax. We of Arizona ought not to be forced 10 pay Internal Revenue Tax to two Governments American and Indian. As to the Commiss ionership, so long as there is an income tax to be paid, it is folly to think that abolishing the office of Commissioner would be a wise proceeding.

 But, as poor people have to pay all the taxes, Government ought to make taxa ton as light as possible upon them, and for this reason we join in with those persons who have had their growl at the Senate Com ittee

 The new house rose fair and pleasant to look upon, but before it was quite done Henry sold his farm again Maria made no remonstrance this time,- and signed the deed as unconcernedly as she might have written her name in school book. The very proper matrons who undertook to codole with her over the loss of her new house were shocked to find her so indifferent.

 The world may not be much the worse off that Maria, utterly discouraged, has laid her pen aside forever, and it may be, who can tell? But the light has faded from her eyes, and the smile from her lips, and she moves about her daily tasks in mechanical way, as one who has lost all interest in life. For her children's sake she lives-were it not for them she would willingly lay down ife's burden for the rest of the grave.

THE CENTRAL SCHooL.-We called at
the jeff. Davis Mansion this morning, now
occupied by 500 children of the public
school, with their superintendents and
teachers.


Mr.. Binford, the accomplished and de-
voted Superintendent of the City Schools,
made a brief tour of inspection with us.
What was designed as a call of few mo-
ments duration grew into hours, and we
were astonished and delighted at the pro-
gress that these schools have made. Our
last visit was soon after their organization,
in October, about six months ago. The
children were then brought together for the
first time. Some from private schools, and
others having had no schooling at all, pre-
viously. Under the fine discipline of a
good system, efficiently applied, this mass of
children has been welded into a compact
and harmonious little army of the soldiers
of knowledge.


1t would be asking too much to expect
the perfection attained in the long estab-
lished schools of older cities, but we are
confident that, considering the date Of this
organization, this group of schools will
compare favorably with those of any other
city.


In some rooms We were struck on enter
ing with the peculiar evidence of that mag
netic power in the teacher, which is the basis
of professional success. In these rooms
the pupils seemed radiant with the electric
energy which they had absorbed. Such
teachers are rare anywhere, but fortunate
is that school that has the most of them.
The true teacher will aim to secure this
magnetic condition that draws the little
minds to it and sets them on fire with en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Binford has this himself,
and we are quite sure he is communicating
measure. This school tells better for him.
self and his faithful associates than vol
ume of eulogy.


AT the close of the morning exercise we
were permitted to review the school as it
moved out, in excellent order, keeping step
to simple march. We were shown ex-
amples Of what it could do marching in
mass, and were permitted to look upon
five hundred bright, happy faces, turned
up to the glorious sunlight, beaming with
intelligence and happiness, and singing
glad songs. To us it was far more
beautiful and exciting spectacle than the
splendor of a military parade. II seemed
a guarantee of all fine possibilities for the
future of our city. 1t was a glorious
spectacle, and the songs which were
waited away upon the baliny spring air
were redolent with thanksgiving, and with
prophesy to us. 1t was the first day that
they had been able to assemble for many
weeks, as they have no hall large enough;
and so are compelled to meet in the yard.


We trust that the generous thought of
the Common Council will furnish these
good children suitable hall for meeting
when the weather is not fit for outdoor
exercises. We shall not soon forget our
delightful visit to the jeff. Davis Mansion,
and the bright and noble faces we saw
there, and we wish for them all, both
teachers and pupils, success and happi-
ness.

When any considerable portion of the peo-

tie the question is by a fair, free and full
vote of the people, and we hope the people
of Halifax may speedily have the opportu-
nifty to decide this question in such a way.
