The Pittsburjr papers of Saturday contain tbe particulars of another shocking tragedy, committed in the borough of Mclieesport, Fennyslvania. The victims were an old and ducrepid couple, brother and sister, between sixty and seventy years of uge, by the names of George and Elizabeth Wil son. The old couple lived in a small cabin on the main road leading to hlizabethtown, aud had by economy and industry, succeeded in nceu milating somo money, whereby they might support themselves in their declining years. It uppears that a day or two pieviuus there came to tho cabin a largo and musciiline look ing femnlf, who craved shelter for charity aullv. 1 lib UJJU Itaj ,.w j a. uu ing the first day of the stranger's day ut the house, she made particular inqtiiiies concer ning the pecuniary circumstances of her ben efactors. About 8 o'clock last Friday morning, a neighbor's little girl proceeded to pay hei ac customed visit to the old couple nt their cabin. She opened the door and entered ; but instead ol being received with a welcome and a smile as was usual, a horrid spectacle was presented to her gaze. The brother had been stabbed to the heart, and the knife which inflicted tho deadly wound, lay u short distance from the corpse, all covered with blood. By the side of the brother, lay the sister, mutila ted in a manner shockiug to the senses, and bickening to the heart of humanity; her head was bruised and beaten so horribly that it would have been impossible to recognize it from tho rest of tho body, as tho reprcjenta. tion of anything human. A poker begmear ed with blood, was lying on tho hearth, and it is supposed to havo been the instrument nsed in peil'orming this nut of barbarous butch ery. The woman spoken of, who claims to be married to a niitn named Fifo, has bcon ar rested on suspicion, as was her pretended husband, And a mau named Mou. Stewart. Blood was found upon Fifo's clothing, and it is stated in a postscript tliut Charlotte Jones, or Fife (the woman spoken ofj has discharged and two otuera her brother one of them.

We are informed a project is on foot to construct a canal from Sunbury to a point near tho town of Shamokin. The only difT: cnlty apprehended in the muttor is the scar city of water durinir the dry montliB. This it is proposed to obviate, or overcome, by reservoir on the high luuds between Mount Carmel aud Shamokin. The Schuylkill canal formerly depended upon reservoirs for its supply of water during a portion of the year. Since mining btdow water level has been introduced in Schuylkill county, the cauul receives as much water from the mines as is required to ship the great quantity of coal annually carried to market by the irrigation company. In other words, every ton of coal raised from the mines, is accompanied with enough wnter to send it to market. Looking, therefore, either to reservoirs or the waste wnter which will be pumped from the mines in this county, in a few years, to tnuke any deficiency of tho Shamokin creek and its tributaries, the "Sun- bury und Shamokin Cuual I ompuny," havt a sure guaranty against a want of wuter. In vatv Fh rt time the P!il.idelpti "1 Suubury Railroad will bo taxed to its utmost capacity. Then a cuual, such as is proposed, will be much nsed. There will be business euough for both the Ruihvay and canal. The rapid growth of the trade, warrants this belief. We, therefore, wish tbe undertaking every success.
