by n fatal tragedy which took placo in Frank
lin Square, at ten o'clock in tbo morning, in
full view of merry groups of children, nnd per
sons who were saunlcriug beneath tbe shade
trees. Tho tragedy was enacted almost bo
ncath tho spray of the beautiful fountain
which adorns tho centre of the Park, It re
sulted in tho fcuicide of a man and tbe wound-
inz uf a women, both results being oceom
plished by a revolving piitol iu tbo bauds of
the lormer.
To go back to the beginning of the story,
wi first introduco n vouiik man, named Geo.
P. L Goodwin wo3 23 Years of ace, a barber
by trado. llo came from Boston Massachu
set!?, where bo wus raised, llo lias n moth
er, and also a wife and two children, who re
Ride nt No. S' west Cedar street, in that city
Of bis further antecedents we know nothing,
except that, two years ago, bo came to flnl
ndclphia, and obtained employment with Mr.
ollard, a highly respectable perrwuicr, in
Chesnut street, opposite tho State House.
Goodwin brought with him a handsome,
showy looking female, now '2i years of oge,
whom bo represented ns his wile. This per
son, it has been ascertained, is named Anna
Gurland, and was brought up at Lynn, Mass.
Of their previous history, or how they came
together, uotbing is known, as it was suspec
ted, until recently, that tho relation existing
between the parties tvu3 other than legiti
uiale. Tho following id a condensed statement of
the fact3 from tho Heading Ga:c!t'.
The Philadelphia papers of the Mlh ins-t. con
tain the particulars of u frightful troqedy, which
was enacted kii Thursday morning in Frankliu
Square. (icori:e F. (iood'.vm, a barber, in ihc
employ ol K. Dollard, in Chestnut street, oppo
site tne State Hou.-e, who hiid been living for
peine time with a woniun named Lizie Marshall,
Mtpiniited to murder the latter by thooting her
willi h pistol. He then turned the weapon upon
hiui-t'll, and discharged a fatal shot through bis
heart. The nietched man died in the course of
half u ii hour, but the wounds of the woman, al
though of a ery serious character, are not likely
to terminate her life. Jealousy was the cause of
thin tcriille dee J. It appears that '-Livie," whose
real naino is Anna Gaiiand, had recently taken
up with a man named Samuel W. Kandull, and
icfiiacd to live wiili Goodwin any longer. This
drove him l desperation, and under pretmro of
taking final have of the woman, ho obtained her
consent to meet hi in in the Surjare.with Kand-ill,
to pay a few parting words; but it turned out
that the interview was sought for the express
purpose of t..'.in her life and his own. Goodwin
was 'J years ol ap. He was rabed in Boston,
Mass. lie has a mother, and also a wife and
two chil rcn, who resiile at No. C2 West (Vdur
street, in that city. He ca.uc to Philadelphia
about two years a 150, nnd brought wilh him this
"Liizie Marshall," a handsome, showy woman,
now 24 years old, whom he represented us his
wife. It bus been time iisi-eitaineJ that she wus
brought up in Lynn, Mass. Of their previous
history, or how they came together, nothing is
known, as it was not suspected, until recently,
that the relation existing between the parlies was
other than legitimate, itandull, who supplanted
Lioodwin in the allec-thins of Lizio, is the acnt

We refer our readers to a communication
from a correspondent at Solinsgrove, who
furnishes an interesting account of the pro
ceedings in relation to the establishment of a
Missionary Institute and Female College at
that place. Wt have only to say that our
correspondent is a gentleman whose position
and connection with tbe contemplated insti
tution is such, that be is enabled to speak
knowingly upon the subject. lie refers, and
very justly too, with pride, to tbo enterprise
and liberality of the citizens of Selinsgrove
in this uidertnking. It is ludeed most com
mendable, and wo trust the example may not
be witbont its good effects, aud stimulate
other towns in thoir efforts at improvement.
Tbe '-luxury of doing good" is moro real then
imaginary. These who are ambitious of a
posthumous reputation, and give only after
death compels them to relinquish their grasp
ou all earthly treasures, are certainly less wise
than be who contributes while living, and
who is thus not only ablo to witness the
proper application of bis funds, but ran enjoy
tbe fruits of bis liberality.

On the evening of the 24th ult. a large and rn.

Hon. A. G. Curtin, Dr. Wiu. Underwood, Presi

Dr. Underwood stated that certain reliable parlies
propossd furnishing two hundred thousand dol

of tbe road, making about fifty thousand dollars
to be raised by Centre county, which the meeting
authorize" him to inform said parties that Centre

tT Tho boatmen of this place, on Satur

they anchored a boat in front of one of the

reduced rates. The result was something of
a row, and ended in some half dozen boatmen
and others being bouud over, by Esq. Lazs

INUNDATIONS.
Every mail from the southwest brings us
melancholy tidiugs of tho overflows on the
Mississippi river.
Tho inundations of tbo Nile bavo always
been n blessing to the dwellers in its vicinity as
they lerlalizo the soil and enablo the cultiva
tors to roar crops which, otherwifo they
could 'uot. The overflows of tho Mississippi
are, on tho contrary, regarded as a devasta
ting evil. Many sugar and cotton plantations
arc ruined by by them, Louses are swept away
cuttle, nogs, and oilier live stock are drown
ed, and crops are destroyed. Tbe most feur
lul danger ol all lies 111 too prouablo breeding
of malarious disease. Whenever the spriug
freshets bring such terrible crevasses as at
present, tho people feel lively apprehensions
that upon their subsidence tbe pestilential
inarch left behind in the overflowed districts
will induce an occravutiou of the usual sum
mcr epidemical diseases. They have had
such awful experience of yellow fever in New
Orleans, that they aro keenly alive to the
possibilities of its return or aggravation in
auy omercency that happens to arise. It is
truo that opiuions difl'ur among the medical
authorities ot that city as to wbclber tue epi
demic is fostered or produced by the influence
of tho swampy regions, yet the popular mind
regards with suspicious dread theinundations
and oven couples them with probable yellow
lever.
Just above New Orleans thcro Ls been
going on for some time a great breach called
the Dull crevasso. One of the swamp com
missioners wasot tbo last accounts endeavor-
ine to stop it aud tho Deo supposes that he
will "resort to bis accustomed practice
draina'o, and will use new breaches for the
purpose one to drain tbe water on abovo
nnd the other to lead it off below, so that bo
can cctlfairly at work at tbe crevasse itself.
Ibis excessively ingenious plan Miows bow
little is really known in that quarter of the
most cllectual mode 01 stoppinc sucu brcacnoe
Tho receding of tbe water genorally does the
work betore those who undertake it.
The size of these openings may be judged
by the dimensions of that at 1 oint Lookout
whuro tbo water is running through rapidly
to tho depth of six or eight feet, aud a mile
iu width. Should this breach continue it will
submergo all the low country from Lake
Providence down to tlio lower panslics. An
other at Lane's Landing, sixty miles above
icksburg, is doing uumenso damage, in
Madison Parish, La., the breaks are too nu
merous aud extensive to render it possiblo to
close any of them, end tho wholo regiou is a
porfect sea. In liolivar nnd Washington
counties, Mississippi, some of tho worst breuks
hare occurred, aud theilamage is incalculable.
1 he upper portion ol ( arrol parish, 1-a.. and
the lower portion ofArkunsas bavo suffered
considerably. At Kentucky JJend, tne river

thought a crent improvement. It is two
hundred yards wide, with a deep channel.
We cuu only convey an idee, of tbe niisckief
done by saying, that nearly one-fourth of tbo
land oil the Mississippi, from A rknusas down
to its mouth boa beeu overflowed.

The board of mnnncers have taken mens
nres to put the Inetitute into operation as
soon as possible. It is designed to open tbe
classical department during the early part of
the summer, and tbe theological department
in the coming autumn. Measures have also
been adopted to erect a port or the buildings
during the present summer and fall.
Students desiring to enter tho theological
department are requested to roport thom
selves by letter to tbe Corresponding Secre-
tary as Boon as they mny see proper, anonid
a sufficient nnmbcr report themselves soon,
measures mny be taken to begin instruction
in this department even before tho winter
term would bo oppned. Rev. Dr. B. Kurtz
has been elected Superintendent of tho Mis
sionary Institute.
The citizens of Solinsgrove, however, did
still more than secure the location of the
Missionary Institute end classical male
school. At the instance of Dr. Kurtz they
resolved, nud went vigoronsly to work to es
tablish a Female College in their midst To
accomplish this desirablo object, and as an
evidence of their interest iu the subject or
education as it respects both their sons and
daughters, they subscribed between seven
and eight thousand dollars toward the erec
tion of a building for a Female Collego
making tho sum total of their subscriptions
fur the various departments of education pro
posed to them, upwards ot twenty-two thousand
dollars ($22,510.) Where ia thero a town
of equal size that would have done more than
this t W here is the place, all things consid
ered, to enuul even what has here been
pledged for the establishment ond support of
these institutions f We point, thercloro, with
no ordiuary degreo of saliolaction, to beiius
grovo as on example of educational appropri
ation and liberality that is seldom equalled
and scarcely evor excelled.
A board of managers has been appointed
for the college, and preparations ere on foot
to open the college soon. Measures have
been token to secure a college charter at an
early period, nnd tho enterprise will be ad
vanced as rapidly os practicability will allow.
At a moutinc; 01 tbe board ol Directors
last week it was on motion unanimously re
solved that tbe name and titlo of this institu
tion shall be "The Susiucliaiiiia Female Col
lege of the Kcangclical Lutheran Church."
It wss at the sume timo resolved to open a
correspondence with a distinguished gentle
man whose name was proposed by a leading
member ot (he board, with a view 01 secunug
him as the principal of the college. It is
understood that there is a probability of bis
accepting the position offered him, "el if so,
tbe citizens of the Susquehanna valley AS
well as tho citizens of Selinsgrove, may con
gratulate themselves upon so important an
eveut, for this gentleman is second to none
in the United States in the prolossion to
which he has devoted bis talents. An expe
rience of years in teaching, both in colleges
lor males ana lomalos, having during this
period acquired a high reputation tor effi
ciency, gives us every assuranse that tbe
Susquehanna 1-emalo Collego, under ins di
rection and control, will eoou tako a high
rank among the kindrod institutions of tho
country.
But, Mr. Editor, lest I should bo too
lengthy in this communication, 1 will close
for the preseut,
Something more may bo communicated in
tbe future as to the progress of these institu
tions. Very respectfully yours,
