About 8 o'clock on Friday night he be--came delirious, and his muttering were unintelligi ble, lie lay with the hand of dearh upon him unti 8 o'clock In the morning. At that hoar a gentleman from Mew York, who was stopping at the hotel, walking iast Magrnder's room, heard a noise within, and entering the apartment he found Mapruder in a sort of convulsion. A servant was immediately despatched for a physician, bat before bis return the proprietor aoenled to the chamber and found him breathing heavily and in an unconscious condition. Telling a boy to remain, but not disturb the patient, he descended the stairs, and on returning found Nagruder without pulse. He listened for breathlog, but there was none; he placed a band on the heart, and it was still forever. He was laid out In a plain black suit, and the body tiaving been laid In a coffln was followed by a string of carriages to the Episcopal Church, where the usual death services were read by a minister. The pall-bcare's were Major B. A. Botts, Captain E. P. Turner, Dr. Louis A. Bryan, Colonel S. Longcope, Colonel Langlle II. Gushing, E. V. Burke, Colonel Shannon, John Shearn, and Kobert Brewster. The distinguished dead was then escorted to the Episcopal Cemetery. The last conversation the General is known to have hail was on Friday, the day previous to his death. To an employe of the hotel, after sending a message to distant relatives resident In the city, the General said, probably In reply to a question, "I don't think I am long for this world." There was no display about his funeral obsequies. FROM IKE DOMINION. The Cession af British North America. Toronto, Feb 20. The Leader, commenting on Mr. Howard's resolution oifered In the United States Senate, recommendfng the Hieh Commission t pro vide for the cession of Bri'lsh North America, says : The proposition Is conceived In an offensive spirit, and Is, cf course, quite Inadmissible. We can assure our American neighbors, If they desire closer r latlonsbip with the Dominion than at present existing, they are taking the very best means In their power of preventing Its accomplish ment, because Insolent propositions of this kind only provoke a bitter spirit of hostility in this coun try toward the United States. The Glote, speaking of the statement of a Wash ington correspondent of the Now York Pout, that President Grant approves the proposition, ridicules It, and says the Americans have apparently an im mense appetite for such Imaginative reports, or else each a keen senBe of the absurd that they merely laugh at the huge Inventions of some newspapers. FROM THE WEST. The Murder of United Mates Marshal Jenkins. Sr. Louis, Feb. !0. Ellis L. Jenkins, Deputy United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Missouri and Deputy Collector for the Second Reve nue District, was shot and killed on Wednesday night while standing In the sltttng-rooiA of the hotel In New Madrid. The fatal shot was fired through the window of the sitting-room. Jenkins had bad during the da? angry words with a son of the Sheriff of New Madrid county, and It Is said pistols were drawn, but it is not known Whether this man committed the deed. No arrests had been made at the last accounts. A Verdict. MXMrnis, Feb. 80. The Criminal Court was crowded this morning to hear the verdict In the case of Graves and Boston, charged with hanging a boy named Schofteld, in this county, in July last. The Firlsoners had borne np well throughout the tedious rial, but since the case was given to the jury on Saturday they had evidently suffered much. When the clerk read, "We, the Jury, find the prisoners frailty of murder in the first degree, bat recommend them to the clemency of the Court," they were much affected. FROM NEW JERSEY.

The Troy papers have full accounts of the railroad disaster near that city on Thursday night, from which It seems that several persons were injured. The following Is the statement ot Mr. Alfred Ilillard, of York, Pa., one of the injured pas sengers: "I was on the Wagner palace car at the time of the accident, and was sitting la chair No. T. I had two friendB, George W. Ballou, of estfleld, Mass., and Dr. Ness, of York, Pa, In the palace car. The first thing I remember of the aocklent was learning that the rear car was oir the track, aud h. nmt tumor I felt a heavy jar. I understood that the rear car fell against a projection of rocks, which saved it from falling over. I was in the coach next to the baggage car, the second car from the locomotive; there were ten persons in tun car with me: soon after I heard the jar onr car went over and fell down an embaukment which is about twenty feet high ; there was a gene ral tumbling of the passengers, but none were hurt other than a few receiving slight scratches; when ' the car stopped rolling it laid on lis side, and the nassengers had to climb out of the window over iL.a. w aii o-ot out safely, when I saw a woman i..hJ trvinir to set out: I helped her, suDoosinir that she was badly hurt, but such was not the case, she was merely frightened; My friend and niysrif ittaved around me sueuo iuu m " vuiu.uK uui' flTi.. inr.kT that none bad been Injured it Qurtiienir struck me mat 'w,.v.i,i with safatv enter the car again and get my acmire. and also tuat of my frieud. I, in company r".r,? iV .hr ffeutlemeo. straugers to me, re entered the car for this purpose; I procured a lan f" . i. .a. rtnrk inside tlie car , and I enterec ahead of the others (we climbed ou Up of thi car r rrj hv luwerinir ourselves to tin "side frow iove) i when we entered a stron. smell of gns prevailed, and a sltgM fire that was burning among some wood that had fallen cut of the stove canned the gas to ex. plorte. (The pas had leaked out of a retort of gasoline, and used for the purpose of lighting the chandelier In the car.) The flames ran np my arms and scorched my neck, and for awhile I thought I would surely suffocate, but I had presence of mind enough to push my head through a pane of glass, and by this means catch a breath of fresh air, be sides getting safely out. I don't know what became of the two other gentlemen who entered the cars with me, but I am under the Impression that one of them was suffocated." THE KEPTUXE CRUELTIES. The Frest-blttea Mallnra Rxanilaatlen Before the foiled Hiatea Cenrt. The N. Y. Evening Pout of Saturday says: The case la which Captain Peabody and Mayo and Shields, the first and second mates of the Neptune, are charged with cruelly treating some of the crew, came np for examination before Commissioner Shields to-day. Edward Reese, one of the colored sailors, tes tified that no cruelties were practised during the first twenty days of the voyage. He then had trouble with the captain and second mate, lie told the second mate he could not haul the top sail halyards because his hands were sore, and the second mate struck and enrsed him. The second mate struck him several times on the face and hands, knocked him down and kicked him. Shortly afterwards the second mate took him into his room and punished him. He told the captain about the second mate striking bim, and 6howed the captain his hand, which the captain poulticed, and then struck him twice, Knocking him down. After this his hand became very bad, and the little finger dropped off, and the cnplaln poulticed it again, aud then called him a Frenchman derisively, and struck and kicked him. Shortly after this the second mate came down to bis bunk and told him to turn out and go to the wheel; he told the second mate he couldn't work, And the second mate struck him In the face with his fist several time?; the second mato was in the habit of eti iking him whenever he met him on the deck; one time, when he so met him, he called him a Frenchman, and said he hud a revolver in his room with which be thought he would shoot him, as he didn't like Frenchmen; one day the second mate sent him on the poop-deck, striking him twice, and say ing that his hands were not frozen enough, and he would send him up to get his head frozen. The second mate came to the kitchen one day and struck bim on his worst frozen hand, In juring it so as to canee him such agony that he could not sleep at nights, and causing it to bleed freely. He bad seen William Oliver, another sailor, struck by the second mate. The second mate was more cruel than the other officers. KEW ORLEANS POLICE 31 EV. A Man's Thront Cut from Ear to Ear by a Po liceman. The New Orleans Times of the 14th instant savs: We have several times been called on to notice occurrences where citizens have been unmercifully clubbed by police officers, and this thing has become quite a common affair. But last night an attack was made on a man, as Is alleged, by a police officer, which is at once ter rible and original. Officet McClanahan, while walking his beat on Ulrod street last night, about nan-past a o ciock, found a man named Peter Donnelly with his throat cut, bleeding very freely, lie immedi ately brought the wounded man to the Lafayette (street station, wnen ne eta tea mat umcerj. Casey, Jfc lrst precinct, wil hout cause, drew a knife and cut his throat almost from ear to ear. The wounded man was brought to the Charity Hospital, where the physicians in attendance considered his wound very dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. Officer Gasey escaped. The same officer is now under charge of assault and battery and false imprisonment be fore the First District Court. The statement of Donnelly that the assault was made without any provocation given, gained much belief at the station, from the fact that if there was any rea son given for the attack Officer Casey would have Immediately surrendered himself at the Etatlon.

NEW 7 30 GOLD LOAM - OF TUB KORTIIERX PACIFIC RAILROAD CO., SECURED BY FIRST MORTGAGE ON RAIL ROAD AND LAND GRANT. SAFE I PROFITABLE! PERMANENT! We offer for sale at par and accrued Interest the First Mortgage Lmd Grant Gold Bondi of the Northern Pad lie Baliroad Company. They are free from United States tax, and are Issued of ths follow ing denominations ij-Cou pons, $100, 1500, and $1000; Registered, $100, $300, $1000, $5000, and $10,000. With the same entire confidence which Jay Cooke A Co. commended Government bonds to Capitalists and People, they now, after the fullest investigation, recommend these Northern PaclOo Railroad Seven Thirties to their friends and the general public uvlv pa l MENT. Both j)rinolpal and lnterost aie payable in gold the principal at the end of 80 years, and the Interest (at the rate of Seven and Three-Tenths per cent, per.annum) hall yearly, first of January and Jul v. PERFECT SAFETY.-The "bonds we are now selling are secured by a first and only mortgage on all the property and rights of the Northern PaciOo Railroad Company, which will embraoe on the com pletion of the work: 1. Over two thousand miles of road, with rolling stock, buildings, and all other equipments. 8. Over twenty-two thousand acres of land to ' every mile of finished road. This land, azrloaltu- ral, timbered, and mineral, amounting in all to more than fifty million acres, consists or alternate seo tlons, reaching twenty to forty miles on each Bide of the track, and extending in a broad fertile belt from Wisconsin through the richest portions or Minne sota, Dakotah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Wash ington to Paget Sound. While the Government does not directly guarantee the bonds or the Road, It thus amply provides for their full and prompt payment by an unreserved grant of land, the most valuable ever ponferred upon a great national Improvement. THE MORTGAGE. The Trustees under the Mortgage are Messrs. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, and J. Edgar Thomson, President of the Pennsylva nia Central Railroad Company. PROFITABLENESS. United States 5-20s at their average premium yield the present pur chaser less than 6tf per cent gold in terest. Should they be redeemed In five years, and specie payments be resumed, they would really pay only 4f per cent., or if in three vears, only 8tf per cent., as the present premium would meanwhile be sunk. inoo currency invested now in United States $5-208 will yield per year In gold, say $62 $1100 currency invested now In Northern Paclflo 7-80S will yield per year in gold, $800. Here Is a difference in annual income of nearly one-third, besides a difference of 7 to 10 per cent. In princll pal, when both classes of bonds are redeemed. RECEIVABLE FOR LANDS These bonds will be at all times receivable, at I -10, in payment for the Company's lands, at their lowest cash price. JAY C00KT3 & CO., FISCAL AGENTS NORTHERN PACIFIC R. R. CO.
