STIUCUXINE AND WHISKY.
Letter of a Deliberate and Philosophical
feulcme.
Homer F. Wood, of Little Rock, Ark., com
mitted suicide recently by taking strychnine in
wbltkv. He left the following letter:
Dear Gay: My last card is played, and I
stand upon the brink of eternity, with no fears
or hopes for my future In that uncertainty. I
have lived during tbe past month in a continual
lever of excitement, produced by a desire to do
justice to those who nave claims upon me, and
a sense of my inability to do so.
Life, at best, is one of tho vilest humbugs that
could be imposed on mankind. lth me Its
trials and struggles have so overbalanced the
enjoyment that I believe that my heart has
turned to stone. I am as much unlike what I
was one year ago as an oyster is unlike a rose.
I have just drank a whisky straight, 'lis the
first In almost five years. I took a big one.
Did I ever tell you that when next I drank it
would be as my shadow fell acrcss the portals
of eternity ? Tis even so, and soon will I bo
called to give an account of my foolishness down
here.
Good-bye, Billy. Good-bye even-body; and
let those who censure this act beware of marry
ing cousins; 1 AM A monomaniac. These
letters were written in capitals. -u,n.
There are no words to my w ife that can give
consolation for the disgrace which I cause. My
eyes are blinded with tears at the thought of htr
love for me. But I cannot help what I am about
to do.
I will have one tune on the guitar, and then
with my strychnine and whisky I'll hunt a place
to die. Homer F. Wood.
F. 8. One bonr later. I have drank one quart
of whisky, and am as sober as 1 was before
taking the stuff. 1 almost believe that 1 am
crazy. Yours, Wood.

ANOTIIEK BIG TUKKEL.
The Vnltetl States b Canada to be United
y a Tannel Over Klght Thousand Feet
In Length under the Detroit River.
From th Iron Age.
The building of the great sub-flavlal tunnel
under the Detroit river, the completion of which
is now assured by the practical consolidation of
the Michigan Central and Great Western Rail
roads, will be the greatest engineering work of
its kind ever projected in this couutry, if not In
the world. The lake tunnel at Chicago, though
of considerable length, is of email capacity, and
will bear no comparison with that to be built at
Detroit, while those carried under the river at
the former city, though of good size, are so short
as to be in all respects Inferior to the present
undertaking as engineering works. In tile
MAGNITUDE OF THE I'LAN
of its construction, in the capacity it will have
under water, and in the amount of business
which will pass through it, the Detroit tunnel
will certainly have no rival upon this continent
until the long-contemplated scheme of uniting
New York with the New Jersey shore by a tuu
nel under the Hudson is carried into effect.
The plan finally adopted by the tunnel com
pany for the construction of the great work is
substantially the same as that prepared some
months since by Mr. Chesbrough, of Chicago.
Tbe length from the Detroit to the Canada por
tal will be 8508 feet. It will be built in two
separate parts, with a view to diminishing the
amount of excavation necessary, and lessening
the liability to accident, and also for the impor
tant consideration that, if an accident should
occur in one half, the other would still be avail
able for the passage of trains. Tbe parallel
tunnels will be cylindrical in form, and will be
fifty feet apart.
THE INTERIOR DIAMETER
of each is 18.1 feet, and at all points under the
river tbe shell of masonry will tbe two feet in
thickness. The excavation will be made through
a stratum of bard clay, and it Is not intended
tbat it should at any point come within less than
20 feet of the surface of the bed. Whenever It
is found that the distance is less than this ave
rage, clay will be filled in to a sufficient depth
to avoid the possibility of rccldcnt. In additlou
to the main tunnels a small drainage tunnel,
with an Interior diameter of five feet, will be
built considerably below the main lines and mid
way between them, This will be first con
structed, in order to drain the main tunnels
while the work progresses, as well as after
ward, and also to fully develop the character of
the soil at the commencement of the work. The
grade of the transit tunnels is one in fifty at each
end, witn luuo feet of level line under the river,
The estimates for excavation and masonry are as
loliows:
Cubic Yard.
Excavation In open cutting 200,000
nxcavanon in tunncis 'z;)3,uou
Brick masonry (exclusive of drainage tun
nel) CS.noo
Stone masonry 8,700
The entire cost of the tunnel and approaches
including a permanent double track of stee
rails, rieht of way at the ends, etc., will amount
to i2,50,000.
I he enterprise is one 01 great magnitude and
importance, and its completion will mark the
beginning 01 a new era in American railroad
engineering.
IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.
The Annual Report of the Xcw York Com
mlHStoncrs.
From the annual report of the Commissioners
of Emigration, which has just been issued, it
appears tbat tbe total number of passengers
landed at New York during 1870 was 255,48(5, of
wnom 213,171) were aliens, a decrease or 4.),..1'J
from the number in 1809. The number of Ger
man immigrants in 1870 was 72,350, less by
27,255 than during the preceding year. The
total number 01 Irish immigrants, 05,108, also
shows a decrease of 1030. Of these immigrants
104,088 came in steamers, and 18,834 in sailing
vessels. The number of persons relieved last
year Ry the Commissioners of Immigration was
7 1,0 1 'J, and the amount 01 commutation money
received by the commissioners was $531,830-50,
of which a surplus of $350,503-88 remained on
the 31st 01 December, ine commission nas
now been in existence for twenty-four years,
during which time 4,500,000 immigrants have
landed in New York, of whom 1,320,012 have
been assisted and provided with employment.
On the 2d of February the commissioners re
solved to reduce the amount of the commuta
tlon money from $2-50 to fLSO. The report
concludes with an allusion to the frequent
evasion of the payment of the commutation
money by several of the steamship companies,
by landing immigrants at another port, and
forwardine: them by rail -to New York. These
lm migrants are expressly excluded by law from
all the benehts 01 the landing depot and the
resources of Ward's Island. The commissioners
therefore suggest that all railroad and steam
ship companies should be compelled to pay
commutation for all immigrants bo transported
lrom otner points to JNew iotk.
AFFRAY IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH.
A Junatlc Stabs a Man and Brandishes
an Axe The Congregation Threaten to
Lynch Him.
During the morning service on Sunday in the
Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent Ferrer,
at Lexington avenue and Sixty-sixth street, New
York, Jonn uioney. an irisn stone-cutter, aged
thirty- five, entered, wearing his hat. The sex
ton, James McLarney, requested him to remove
it. uioney reiusea, ana ine sexton oraereu mm
to leave the church. Glbney declined to go,
and as he acted in a somewhat disorderly man
ner, two or three of the congregation stepped
forwaid to assist the sexton lu expelling mm. lie
then drew a knife and stabbed Michael Cully in
the head, the point 01 the blade breaking off
and remaining In the skull, inflicting a very
terious wound. Several other members of the
congregation then came up and were about to
seize (iibney, when he drew au axe from under
his coat, flourished it over his head, and loudly
declared that he would "brain any niau" who
attempted to interfere with him. Tbe excite
ment among the congregation now became
intense. Many shouted "llang him ! '"Lynch
him !" ami a rope was Epecdily procured.. A
ruth was made for him, and he was seized and
disarmed, but "before tbe crowd could cxrry
their threats of lynching Into execution officers
appeared, took (ilbneyinto custody, and locked
him up in the East Fifty-niuth Street Police
Station. It is believed that he is lnsaue on the
question of religion.
THE PRESBYTERIANS.
The Approaching General Assembly of the
The Gecernl Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of tbe United States will assemble in
the First Presbvterian church, Chicago, Illinois,
on Thursday, the 18th inst, and will be opened
witn a sermon by Rev. Dr. Backus, Moderator
This is the second assembly of the reunited
Church, and, meeting in such a central place, it
is expected that it will be well attended by
representative men from all parts of the coun
try. . ...
The important business 01 reconstruction will
occupy a large portion of the Assembly s time
The report of the Committee on tbe Memorial
Fund will eagerly oe looked lor. This move
me lit is having a marked effect. Ministers are
by it provided with comfortable houses. Loads
of debt have been swept away, and besides all
this it is expected that a large sum will be
available for seminaries, the boards, and susteu
tatlon. There is every reason to believe that
five million dollars at leaEt will be reported.
The Home Mission report win suovr a pros
perous work in organizing new churches. An
overture from the New York Presbytery con
cemlng the voluntary demission of the ministry
by such as may desire it, is likely to give rise
to keen debate. The reception of delegates from
Britain, Canada, etc., will be an interesting
leature.
Some "new beginners" are practising on
such specimens as these: ''How much does a

ANOTHER WARNING.

"What Came of Kindling a Fire with
Kcroicnt.
The Trenton State Gazette of yesterday says:
A very distressing affair occurred on Saturday
morning, about half-past 9 o clock, at the resi
dence of William W. Ward, at No. 17 Ewlog
street. Ills servant girl, Miss Annie Corbitt,
aged about twenty-three years, was engaged in
baking, and, anxious to increase the heat of the
oven, took the kerosene can and was In the act
of pouring the fluid on the fire, when it ignited.
1 wo heavy expioFions, leanui in tneir cnarac
tr, and alarming the neighbors, took place. In
a moment the poor girl was enveloped in flames.
She ran out into the yard, and stood a moment
on the platform or piazza in the rear, screaming
terribly.
Two persons from the street came rushing In,
with horse blankets, and smothered the flames.
The scene was heart-rending. The place where
she stood on the platform Is charred In several
places wherever she moved. When she was
uncovered, after the blankets had been thrown
around her. it was found that she had been
shockingly burned. In about an hour her suffer
ings were ended by death.
Coroner Tarsons was notified and viewed the
body, but did not think it necessary to hold an
Inquest.

W. W. FENNER,
No. 127 NORTH SIXTH STREET,
Sole Agent for Strater'a Patent.
This machine is entirely different irom the old
style Beer Pump. It performs its own work, and
requires no labor. The liquors are forced up from
tbe cellar to tbe bar-room by means of a pressure of
air made by force of water, and can be drawn just
as clear as directly from the barrel.
Among the many advantages claimed for thla
machine are, tbat tbe beer or ale never becomes,
flat, and can be drawn as cold as Ice water with very
small expense of Ice.
Tbe Apparatus can always be seen at my place In.
