In the second story of tho brick tene ment at :i3 North Eighth street, AVilliam? bursh, X. Y., Mary' Ann Dwyer, a blue eyed younp; Iri.li woman, murdered her three children and fatally injured her husband. .Michael Dwyer was one of the striking etwipers from the oil works, lie married his wife in Bristol, 11. I., ci;bt years ago, and beinty thrown out of employ ment soon afterward, found cmplyomcnt in Brooklyn. With the large body of coopers who threw down their tools six weeks ago, in opposition to the demands i'f their employers. Dwyer iiit work. Two weeks ago bis provisions were low. and his wife begged him to go to work again, and he did so. His society men ordered him away from the works, and he obeyed thcrn. He had been attending the coopers' meetings regularly. He returned home at night after a society meeting, partially under the influence of liijuor. His wife talked with him about how poorly they were living on the small support the Vnion gave to him, and told him to go to work on the next day. f lie said he thought the strike was over, and he would see by the papers whether the coopers were going to give in. His wife then told him that she couldn't stand his being out of work any longer. he asked him whether he didnVlie when he said that the strike was over, lie said no. and added that the papers would have the truth about it in the morning. They prepared to retire, yet talking about Dwyer's going to work. Mrs. Dwyer, had put her three children to bed in the back room Maggie, the oldest, seven years old, with her head at the foot of the bed, and Jimmie, aged font, and Timothy, aged two, at the head on two l allows. Mrs. Dwver l.-iv oown ly her husband on the folding lounge in the front room. She did not clear off the table when they had taken supper, but raked out the fire in the cook stove and laid out her fiat irons ready to iron their cloth ing. At half-past five the next morning she was dressed and moving about her room. She looked into the hall the first thing to see whether the newsman had brought the paper. It was too earlv, and she went iuto-j the street to buy one. The newsboys had not reached that part of the city, and she returned and told her husband. He dressed and went into the street and found one. He met Owen Murphy, a cooper, who worked with him. Murphy said that he was tired of "waiting for the Union to com promise or conquer, and that he was going to work. Dwver uid that he wouldn't hold out much longer. Mrs. Dwyer awaited his return and asked him what the paper said about it. He said he had not read it yet, but he had just met Owen Murphy, who said that he was going to work on the next day. "If Owen Murphy, who owns a house and lot, can afford to go to work, you can,'' said 3Irs. Dwyer. The husband said he thought he would in a day or two. His wife replied that they were getting out of food she did not want him to lay about in the saloons w the idle men who were on the strike. Dwyer sat down by the front window to read. He told his wife that the strike was not over and he was talking about what he had read when suddenly he was struck to the floor by a hammer in her hands. At G o'clock the tenants below heard a heavy fall to the floor, and, running into the hall, saw Michael Dwyer dart into Mrs. Slaven's room, just in the rear of Ids own, having his head bent down. Blood was drpping oyer his coat. He called to Mrs. Slaven to do something for him, saying that he was hurt. She put a wet cloth to his wounds, and told him to hurry for a doctor. Mrs. Dwyer then entered the room with a cooper's hoop hammer in her hand, and darted towared her husband. Mr. Slaven wrenched the hammer from her, thrust her out of the door, and stood against it until lie beard Iter shut the door behind her in her own room. Then Dwyer ran into the street, and meeting Sergt, Fielding, told him that Mrs. Dwyer had struck him with a hammer, and that if somebody did not go to the house she might hurt the children. The Sergeant hurried and met 3Irs. Dwyer at the door. He arrested her and started for the police station with her, telling her that she had almost killed her husband. "The children are dead, too," she said calmly, looking into his face. He took her to her room, and she led the way to the door. One of the tenants met the officer, saving, "Mrs. Dwyer soys she lias killed her little children." The The Sergeant looked into the room and saw tli;it the woman's words were true Tl ie three dead bodies, bloody and repulsive, lay in a mangled heap on the bed. He quickly returned with his prisoner to the police station. She went, willingly, and calmly gave her name. She said that she wa.s twenty-five years old, and, without a quiver in her face, added : "I wanted my little children to be in heaven, and I thought at first I would go there alone, but then I thought I would scud them there before me." She was quiet and lady-like, but there was a restlessness in her eyes. Nothing else in her manner justified the suspicion of insanity. In the cell she quietly took her seat and remained almost immovable. Captain Wogloni and several officers hurried to the house. In the dark bed room back of the front room were the three dead nd bruised bodies, of the children. The heads of all were " red with blood. head was mashed in. the the brains protruding. j civ till OJH.M1, the brains protruding. Her little brothers were in the same jxsition as when they slept. James s face was to the wall, and his skull burst open. His night shirt was dyed deep red. The infant nestled in its own imprint in the soft mattress. The nude form was dotted with Wood. His lace was as calm as though he had not awkened from his slumber. The white walls were stained with blood, and crimson spots dotted the ceiling. The forms of the children were not yet cold. 4;Why did you kill your children," asked a reporter, "didn't you love them ?" "I wanted my little ones to go to heaven," said she calmly?' "I wanted to kill myself, but I knew if I went there first they would never follow inc. My brain isn't quite right soil? ?t hues, and when my husband wouldn't go to work I struck him. I can honestly say I thank God that my children are in heaven. The Lord sent His Son down to earth to die, and I took the lives of my children but f r their souls' silke I killed my little Tim first. He was nearest to me. He made some noise, but it didn't last long. I hit Maggie on the head next. She woke up and said 'Mamma,' and I said, 'It's me. Maggie.' She was a good girl. She cried, too, but I soon put her out of trouble. She used to tell me she wanted to go to heaven, and once when I asked her if she'd feel bad if 1 drowned her in the river, she said no, because she would go to heaven. I killed Jemmy. He woke up and cried, but I turned him over and let the blood run out of his head faster. My husband said that the coopers' strike was over, and said 1 would see it in the paper, but it wasn't there. I was mad when I found it out, and when he sat down to read it I hit him with the hammer. When he went out I killed the children. I don't regret what 1 have done, because my children were all good and I know they are in heaven and I shall see them there." A RELIC 0E THE PAST. A newspaper correspondent, writing from "Washington, Warren county, X. J., de tails a visit which he made to Mrs. Isabel la Moore, a colored woman born in 1770, and who is, consequently, l'Ji years old. The correspondent writes : She is hale and healthy, and talks of oc currences that transpired near a century ago. She was born a few miles above the Delaware Water (Jap, in Pensylvania, a free woman, and the records at Stroudsburg show that she was "bound out" to John Chambers in 1778, to serve to 17S8, when she would be 18 years old. Her maiden name was Isabella Harklcss, and she mar ried Abraham Moore, a slave in 1781), and if she lives a few months more will have been married eighty-fix .years, rearing the moderate-sized family of fourteen children. She has had 1 GO children, grand-children and great-grand-children, more than one hundred of whom are now living. The old woman remembers the soldiers of the revolution marching to join their commands, and describes two very fat oxen they were driving along f ir beef as though she had seen them yesterday. She says w bile she was bound out, she went to school five days "to make up," as she expresses it, "fbr that many days a bound boy had missed. "Did they ride horseback generally in those days ?"' we asked. "The laws, ye, honey, everybody go that way then, and there was nobody could ride better than I could in Pennsylwaney." She has been a member of the church ninety-one years, and .sing two hymns for us in not an unmuiseal voice, remem bering every line of "Oh ! w hen shall I see Jesus ?" and another hymn that must have been forgotten before we remembered hymns. She thinks colored people, and wdiite, too, are getting worthless nowadays, and says when she was a girl she used to walk six miles and rake and bind after a cradle all da', plant and hoe potatoes and corn, mow grass, rake and pitch bay, and then do housework, all for three shillings a week. She says, though, that there were some very lazy people then. One she describes as being too lazy to chew tabacco. "Iut the gals now," she adds, "don't know how to put a collar on a critter, or which would be best to catch him with, salt or shavings." She tells us how she rode to harrow on an island in the Delaware, and a black snake wound himself around the horses neck and choked him down in the gears, and how she cut the snake in two with a knife. The agitators of tobacco reform can get no encouragement from the old lady, as she has smoked ninety-three years, and enjoys good heath, bidding fair to live to a good, ripe old age to enjoy her pipe. Her sight is bad, although she is not entirely blind. She walks about the house, and talks of go ing to Oxford (three miles), but says she supposes if the goes, she must go as the girl went to get married, afoot and alone. At the late gathering of the Old Line Abolitionist in Chicago, an interesting ac count of "the man with the branded hand" was given. Jonathan Walker is his name, and for his Abolition principles he was, in 1843, branded in his right hand with two letters "S. 8.," signifying slave stealer, by order of the United States Marshall of Florida. He Ls now seventy-seven years of age, and lives in Muskegon, Illinois, and but for his poverty would have been in at tendence at the reunion. In a moment of enthusiasm the convention proposed a con tribution for him, and a good round sum was raised. Mangle's A FIGHT WITH THE TIGER. A Fifty-hour Eack at Faro, with a Loes of $11,800. From the Chicago Times of June 2. One day last week a professional gam bler went into a faro-room on Clark street to have an engagement with the "tiger." He commenced playing, lost, won, lost again, continued losing ; and finally, at the end of fifty hours, he quit the engagement, out of pocket to the amount of 811,900. During this season of fifty hours the game was unbroken. The gambler never slept lor a moment, never stopped to eat a meal, but carried the whole tremendous enter prise through without rest, cessation, or refreshment. The wonderful thing of this is not the amount lost by the player, although it was a sufficiently bad thing for him, or the amount won by the bank, which was a no tably good thing for the bank, but the enormous endurance shown by the loser. The ease is one nearly or ouite without a parallel. Men have ridden, spoken, and done many other things for twenty-four or thirty hours at a stretch ; but a case other than the present one is unknown in which a labor was carried through so long a period ; a labor which involved so tremend ous a mental wear and tear, and was, there fore, trebly arduous in its effect upon the system of the chief participant. The event is also noticeable as showing the absorbing power of gaming. One cannot fancy any task which would induce or force a man to deprive himself during the same peried of sleep or refreshment. One watching by the bedside of a dying child would suc cumb within less than this? period. A man who had the certainty of living but fifty hours would probably spend one-fourth of it in sleep, and would give due attention to his food. One escaping from a deadly foe, and knowing that every instant's delay might prove fatal, would not fly for so long a time without snatching now and then momentary rest. In short, one can con ceive of no other circumstances in which a man would give fifty unbroken hours to a single task, circumstances more especially which should tear the chief actor with hope and fear, and harrass him incessantly with the operations of the most destructive of the emotion.--. Could some one perform a similar feat in the interest of charity, or country, or friendship he would secure for himself a very fair grade of immortality. SUN STROKE PREVENTATIVE. As the heated season is rapidly approach ing and having already had quite hot weather, and cases of sunstroke having al ready been reported, we give the foil wing specific against sun stroke which may save from illness, and death many whose occupa tion oblige them to be in the field or in the street. "About a year since I saw in a news paper an account of a case of sunstroke, written by the party himself. After suf fering a long time from the attack, and having to a considerable degree recovered, he experienced suffering, even from , the ravs of the moon. This led him t i the re-' flection that it wns not altogether the heat of the sun that produced prostration. Af ter much research, he discovered that the injury came from the chemical ray, and not from the heat ray. He was guided to this by observing the fact that a potograph could not be taken through a yellow glass. Accordingly, he lined his hat with two lin ings one of orange yellow to arrest the chemical ray, ami one of green to arrest the heat ray. Thus prepared, he went where the heat of the sun was most intense with perfect impunity. It is well known that the negro is seldom sun-troke. The color of his skin over the skull being of orange yellow, may assist in accounting for the fact. I practiced upon the suggestion all last summer, lined my hat with green and orange yellow paper, and had confidence enough in the truth of the theory to neg lect my unbrella, which I had never done before. I mentioned it to many who tried it also, and in many cases that came under my observation they uniformly asserted that the oppresive heat of the sun upon the head was much relieved." When You Can Fish. The Board of Fish Commissioners of this State have published a notice to the public in which they fix the time in which the various kinds offish may be caught. We annex their order that our readers mav have due notice. By the act of the Assembly of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, approved the twenty-eight day of April, section U, it is made the duty of the board of Fishery Commissioners to notify the public as to the time of spawning of the various useful food fi.-hes of the Commonwealth during which time it is unlawful to take them. The Commissioners now give notice that black bass spawn from the 1st day of May until the l.rth of July, pickerel spawn in March, April and May ; pike and j-erch in April, May and June, sun fish in June and July, trout from the loth of August until the 1st of April, yellow perch in March, April and -Ma', catfish in June and duly, during which time it is unlawful to take the said fi.-hes. The Reading Eiijle says : On the farm of(Jeorge lteininger,, truck dealer, near Ohlinger's, is a smoke-house apple tree which has apples of the size of a walnut. On the ends of the fruit-bearing twigs are blossoms, a second crop closely following the first. ' . The workingmen of Columbia, Pa., out of employment, met to the number of a thousand on Wednesday evening last, and adopted a memorial to Congress, from which we make the following extract : We feel that the business interests of this county never had the attention of Con gress that they should have. We blame both parties. We blame the Republican party for not seeing that the state of business in 1872 was unduly excited, and could not last, and when reducing the tariff, they did not pro vide for its restoration when needed. We blame the Republican party for not seeing that tariff duties with gold" at $1 10 arc twenty cents less protection than with gold at SI 30. We blame the Democratic party for its free trade doctrine, as being an old idea no longer suited to the interests of this coun try, and wonder that they cannot see the facts of to-day, that with American bar iron selling at cents per pound ; rails at $55 00 per ton ; cotton goods at J as low prices as they were before the war, all of which are below cost. Yet all businees in Xew York and Philadelphia is very dull, and because the manufacturing interests through the country are cither not work ing at all, or onjy part time. The Democratic party . with free trade say to us, you must work for the same low wages as in Europe, wages which are so low that we cannot buy cither good food or clothes for our children, but force us to put our children at work, instead of at school, to keep us all from starving. During the past eight years many of us by economy have been able to lay by enough to purchase a small lot and buiid a small, comfortable home. We want our children to be able to do the same thing, but they cannot do it under free trade or low tariff. The memorial proposes to retire all green backs by ISSd, to resume specie payments in lbbz, and to establish free banking. This is a much more sensible platform than some that have been received with more favor. WAKEFULNESS. Yhen persons who do not otherwise ap pear to be sick, suffer from continued wake fulness, this a sure sign of mental exhaus tion. When any part of the body is specially exerted, the blood flows in increased quant ity to that part. So when there is any stress had on the brain, the head becomes' surcharged with blood, as is shown bv the flushing of the face. If this condition is long continued, the blood-vessels lose the power of contracting. Then the brain re mains in an excited state, even when the mind has no longer any detire to work, and it cannot take its proper rc-t in sleep. In order to enjoy refreshing sleep it is ne cessary that the blood be not cent rated in the head, but diffused equally through all parts of the bod'. This is probably the reason why the warm bath just before go ing to bed is so conductive to a good night's repose. It is, however, the best way not to allow the mind to get excited near the hour of rest, but to let it run down gradually, like a clock, in the evening. There have been some wonderful cases of sleeplessness caused by undue mental ex ertion. Boerhaave, t lie Dutch philosopher, tells us that at one time he was so absored in a particular study that he did not close his eyes in sleep for six weeks. This seems incredible. A French general asserted that, for a whole year, while engaged in ac tive warfare, he slept but one hour in twenty-four. These and similar cases are probably exaggerated. We all know how often people are unwilling to admit that they have been asleep, when they have really had a sound nap. The persons men tioned could not have survived such pro longed wakefulness. An attendant of the late Emperor Louis Xapoleon, whose nerv ous system had become deranged, died simply from inability to sleep. KILLING CATERPILLARS. Mr. Tsaae X. Jacques?, pioneer ofMt. Carmel, 111., has found a way to kill catter pillars, and that way he tells through the Register, as follows: "I have an orchard which litis been badly infested with cater pillars, and I tried many ways to get rid of them. First, by burning them out, which eihaps would have answered had I com menced soon enough. I then tried shak ing them out of the trees, but they were soon back again. My last plan was as fol lows : Scrape all the loose bark from the tree, then take a strip of woolen cloth, and, tdtcr saturating it with puh.her and grease, tie it around the body of the tree just be low where the branches start out ; then take a brush and paint a strip two or three inches wide at the band on the tree.. The caterpillars, after bting shaken out, will again endeavor to mount the tree, but will stop at the sulphur line, where they can be destroyed by tho bushel. A week's labor would have been saved had 1 known of this plain at the start. I believe it worthy of publication." . Among the missing fugitives from the Pennsylvania Insane Asylum, near Harris burg, is a woman fifty years of age and about five feet seven inches high. Her hair is cut very short and is quite gray. Site has a healthy appearance and a pierc ing eye. Any person learning of her whereabouts will relieve much distress con cerning her bv communicating with the superintendent of the asylum.

A Methodist minister in Lycoming, county, on a recent hot Sunday, traveled fifteen miles, preached at three different stations, and realized fifty-five cents for his trouble.

The county cf Lawrence, Tennessee, has been governed by Democrats from time im memorial. Yet it seems to be almost as badly tax-ridden as South Carolina. The county paper says : "There will be three; hundred tracts of land for s:de f ir taxes advertised in this journal this mouth." What explanation have the purists of the opposition to make of this significant fact? Conger, who captured Booth, the assas sin of President Lincoln, and got twelve thousand dollars from a grateful country, has been admitted to the practice of law in Illinois.
