The lllar, Death aod Funeral at tlnarnder.
Oalvision, Texas. Feb. SO. Magnifier ha1 been
unwell for a week previously, but tits Illness was
not considered dangerous till within two days of his
decease. 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.

the latest railroad disaster.
Perilous dventure of a Passenger.
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'

'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.

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.
