Tuesday, sipril 11, 187 1. The citizens of Now Haven liavo re cently been somewhat alarmed by a rumbling noise which was heard nights, and which would jar open the doors, and shako windows. The Democratic papers said it was undoubtedly caused by the political earthquake in New Hampshire. The Republican papers can now claim that it was caused by a juaking nearer at home, judging by the election returns from that city. . - . Considerable fighting has taken place between tha mob and the government troops in France. On the 2d inst. tho mob made an attack on the troops and were routed with considerable loss. On" tho following day having received reiuforco ments they rcnowed tho fight near Paris and defeated the government troops, and made arrangements to march upon Ver wiiles. Several skirmishes have since taken place but no decisive battle lias yet been fought. Botu parties claim that tho election returns from Connecticut are a rebuke to their opponents and that it settles the question as to tho confidence tiro pcoplo have in their party leaders. The returns nro so close that it seems to us, however, that the only thing settled is the candi dates who are defeated. Who is elected for Governor is an open question and will be decided only by tho official count. while there is a possibility that there is no choice by the people, in which case tne legislature is sure to elect tho Re publican candidate.

Timet, speaking about RulloffjWho has just boon sentenced to bo hung, says: " We have learned from a source be yond dispute, tho particulars of an inci dent in tho career of this remarkable man, which has never been published, and which he himself reeonlly told to an intimato friend as an illustration of tho " hard luck" which has attended him all through life, llulloff stated to- this gen tleman that upon his release from Auburn prison, ho wandered down into Pennsyl vania, and having perfect confidence in his ability to fill almost any position in tho faculty of a college, applied for a professorship in Jefferson College. There was no permanent opening for him in tlio institution ; but tho professors gave him some clerical work to do, and In a little whilo satisfied thoiusclvcs of his re markable scientific and literary attain ments, eo that when nn application came from Chapel Hill College in North Caro lina for a professor of languages, the fac ulty of Jefferson were able to recom mend llulloff to it as a proper person to fill tho position. Whilo preparing to ac cept tho professorship at Chapel Hill, ho received a letter from Mrs. Jarvis, the wife of tho Ithaca jailor, whom he had seduced, and through whom ho was ena bled to make his escape from prison, to tho effect that she had left her husband and was living with her sou the same who was drowned in tho river at Bing hampton after tho murder in destitute circumstances, and demanding the sum of $500 for pressing and immediate wants. The letter contained a note from the son that unless tho money was forthcoming ho would kill llulloff on sight tho first time they met. Ho was utterly without tho means to scud so large a sum. Grat itude and love . both conspired in his breast to induce one earnest effort to se cure the money and send it to the only woman ho ever loved. His meditations led him to devise tho robbery of a jew elry store in a neighboring village, and putting his plans into execution he car ried them out successfully, and plundered tho store of a considerable amount of jewelry. This he tied up in his handker- chief, and as rapidly as possible fled from the scene of his crime. Traveling along tho highway early in tho morning, he was overtaken by a stranger, who re luctantlv cave him permission to ride. Tbcy had proceeded but a few miles, when two horsemen approached them and arrested them for horse-stealing the very wagon in which liulloli was riding hav ing been stolen the previous evening by his companion. Here was a dilemma even for bo skillful a villain as the profes sor of Chapel Hill College. But his " check" saved him. Persisting that he knew nothing of the robbery of the horse and wagon, but was a chaneo pas senger picked up by the real thief upon the highway, and being ablo to prove his good character by the professors at Jef ferson College, ho was discharged at the examination upon the accusation of horse stealing ; but before he had left tho court room, the officers looking for tho burglar who had stolen the jewelry came in, iden tified tho property found in tho wagon, and insisted upon arresting him for the crime. Kullott was in no wise abashed. Tho same confident air which he had maintained all through the trying ordeal, and the testimony of the professors, serv ed him to the end, and declaring his igno rance ol all knowledge ot tho burglary as well as of horse stealing, was a second time discharged, while his companion was held for both crimes, and ultimately suf fered punishment for tho very offense which Rulloff himself had committed. In describing this incident in his life Rulloff laughed and said it was only ono instance of the " devilish hard luck" that followed him all through his varied career.

Whilo the train was going along at the rate of twenty-five miJea an hour, and when near Pleasooton, Alameda couaty, one of tho prisoners, named lloil- mau, asked the sheriff for permission to enter a closet, which was granted. The sheriff, thinking his prisoner was absenting himself too long, entered tho closet and found Heilnian hancinflf on the outside of the car, clinging to tho window sill. The sheriff attompted to catch him but ho lot CO his hold and foil tn thn ui.ln of the road. The sheriff saw Heilman pick limsolf up, nd run for dear life. txSF Reoontly a party of hunters discov ered in tho vicinity of Parksvillo, Mo., a cavo which is supposed, from articles found therein, to be occupied by counter feiter. Several boxes with padlocks to them, rolls of bank-note paper, and also dies, inks, and other appliances and tools, such ns might be used in the manufac turing of counterfeit money, were discov ered, but tho discoverers seem to have bccouio apprehensive of tho sudden ap pearance of tho occupants of the don, and mado haste to loave tho locality, think ing their throats in danger should they pursuo their investigation either to satisfy curiosity or with a yicw of bringing the outlaws to justice. . - i ' ItSatf The contract to furnish artificial legs to mutilated Virginia soldiers has been awarded by tho Governor and other officers to an ex-Confederate soldier, who, it is said,. was tho first rebel soldier to loso a leg in the war. It was shotj away at tho battle of Phillippi, Juno 3. 18G1, and nino years ago ho invented an artifi cial limb to meet his own necessities. There are two or thrco hundred persons in tho State who will receive the benefit of the net under which this contract is awarded. SF A young lady, in a military fervor disguised herself in malo attiro and en listed at Muscatino, Iowa, in 1861, in tho Twenty-fourth Iowa infantry, served till the close of the war, and returned to her father's house, where she was warmly welcomed, but told nothing of her army history. Receutly a momber of her former regiment fell in love with her, without the least suspicion that sho had been his comrade ; but as he was not at all shocked at tho recital, they wero mar ried, and sho for tho first time told the folks about hot military career. JST" About 11 o'clock on the 2nd inst., a man named Thomas Callowcll, a tran sient boarder at the Montgomery House atNorristown committed suicidoby shoot ing himself through the hoad with a Colt's revolver. He left a letter stating that his labors for fifteen years past had been useless and ho had no wish to live longer in the same state. He directed what disposition should be mado of his effects. He evidently commenced writing the letter on March 25th, as the latter was erased and tho 31st written over it. Jt The Greenville, Va., Mountaineer is of tho opinion that tho State taxes for the present year can never bo paid. Many have not paid for last year, and cannot do it. It says : " Wa have seen delicate women and decrepit old men sell ing the provisions which were absolutely needed to keep their children from star vation, in order to obtain money to pay their taxes, whilst others were going irom lncna to lricna to borrow money. And we doubt whether . Greenville is in a worse plight than the rest of the State, J Mr. Josiah Thomas, of Roaring ureek, uoiumbia county recently built a new smoke house, with doors so construct ed that when closed they could not bo opened from tho insiaV with a view to entrapping thieves. Last week ho enter ed himself and built a fire, but before he got out, the wind blew the door shut. Unable to get out or attract attention, he suffocated before relief came. His son finally opened the door and found his father lifoless. S&" They tell the story of a Tonne see lawyer who, recently married to a widow, fell asleep the other day in the court room, and was fmddanlv nwnkenArl by tho mention of the lady's first hus band's name by one of tho members of the bar. springing to his feet, he ex claimed, " What what ! you shan't have her!" This, of course, astonishod the court, and he blushingly explained that ho was dreaming, and thought B. was coming back to take his wife from him. ; $&" A lad named Foster mot his death in a slaughter house at Apploton, Wis., pn the 17th, in a singular manner. It seems that ho tied one end of the rope to the building inside, and the other around his waist, and then climbed the ladder to the roof, from whioh he fell outside, falling about eight feet, but not touching the ground, the slack of the rope-tightening around his body with such a shook as to produce something like internal stran gulation. He wag dead when discovered. triod to sell a pump to a widow may, who said she oouldn't buy one unless she could turn out one of her girls for pay. The peddler looked over the lot, and fin ally took ouo, and put in tho pump. They were married only a week, when one night he got up, took out the pump, and left the country. The widow now draws water with an old-fushioned moKs-coverod bucket. - tz& Last week a fire was discovered in the Court House in Ilackeusack. N. J.. and before the flames could be extinguish ed damage to tho amount of about $2,000 was done. Several thousand dollar had recently been expouded in modernising the old building, which wui built at the beginning of the present oonturv. and the fire is supposed to huve originated from now heaters. About three weeks, since a man named Carroll, residing in N. Y., died, leaving a widow and a largo family of children. Two or three days afterward, a clerical looking gentleman rang the bell at the widow's house, and desiring to seo Mrs, Mary Carroll in person, handed her a packago, containing $200. Inside the package was piece of white paper, on which was written with a load pencil the word Restitution.' Mrs. Carroll pressed her visitor for an explanation of tho mys tery, but ho said : " Madam, ask mo no questions, I cannot answer you, I am a Catholic priest, nud received this money in the confessional." On Mohday afternoon of last week a quarrel In a train of cars leaving Now York for Philadelphia caused one man to snap a pistol five times at another passenger. Fortunately every cap was dofectivc and no ono was hurt. On tho ar rival of the train at Newark tho man and a friend who backed him wero arrested and locked up on the chargo of assault with a deadly weapon. JStifAmoiig tha curious questions that wero bought beforo the Postofiico De partment was this : A wife directed tho postmaster to deliver her letters to no one but herself. Her husband ordered that they should bo put in his box, as he claim ed tho right to read them. Tho Depart ment decided that tho letter must be de livered to tho person to whom they are addressed. 8Sy A daring nttempt was mado on the 3d inst., to rob the Central Park bank, No. 424, 2d avenuo, New York. Three men entered the bank, and after locking the front door, bound and gaggod the paying toller, Mr. Ellison, and proceeded to rifle tho safes. Br. Hadden, one of directors, finding the door looked, broke it open, when the burglars fled through the rear, and escaped. ttaT" Mayor Cobb, of Lynchburg, Vir ginia, before whom several negroes cluiui edthe ownership of a dog, left the de cision of tho doubful matter to tho dog himself. Several of them called the in telligent animal pathetically, but he re garded them not; finally puo yelled out " Buster," and with a bark of joy the dog rushed toward him and decided the matter. ' , IQS-AtFall Iliver, Mass., tho other day, in one of the public schools, a littlo girl came to the teacher and complained that a boy had been pointing a pistol at her feet. The teacher then requested all boys having pistols to come forward, and five boys came to the desk with pistols in their pockets, capped and loaded with shot. The inmates of tho Whcolincr (W.
