Ithas just transpired that we have had in our midst the most inSitiate female fiend that has.eiisted inthiS section of country, and whose deeds put to blush the exploits of the famous Mrs. Lydia Sher man. The modern Lucretia Borgia is named Mrs. York, and it is knovin that six of her nearest relatives have been mur dered by her and it seems that she had intended to destrcy her entire generation. No reason can be assigned for her hellish os acts, save that she was seased of an in satiable desire to poiso her relatives.— After causing the dea h of five of her family, she prepared a poisonous mixture for her son, intending tosend him to that bourne from whence no traveler ever re turns, but by a mistake she herself swal lowed the poison and died from its effects. The only particulars of the fearful trage dy available at the present time are; that last September, Mr. A. W. Drake, a far mer living near Moamqua, died suddenly and under circumstances which indicated foul play : His mother-in-law, Mrs. York, was keeping house for him lit the time.— A few days since Mrs. York Was taken ill at her son's house, in Kansas, whither she had gone soon after tie death of Mr. Drake. A physician was called in, who immediately detected poison, and he told her that she could survive but a few hours. Facing death she made a very startling, confession. She confessed having poison ed her husband in 1865, Mrs. A. W. Drake, her own daughter. two children of Mr. Drake, her own grand children, the wife of E. R. Drake, formerly of this city and Mr. A. W. Drake, last September.- She'then went to her son, and a short, time ago made a mixture of poison to ad minister to him the first opportunity.— Feeling sick a' day afterwards she went for some medicine to the cupboard and by mistake took the fatal dose !prepared for her son, which resulted in! her own death. Thus'passed from life by her own hand a husband, two daughters; a son-in law, two grandchildren and herself, while she attempted to poison her own` son, who had offered her a home for the remainder of her life. The indignation and alarm felt by the people in the country is very great. The neighbors to whose houses Mrs. York had been a visitor are afraid to touch any flour or food that it might have been in her power to manipulate, and a number of the mysterious deaths that have occur red within the last few years aro also at tributed to her. The news has spread like wild fire, and crowds have come in from all directions for miles around to discuss or learn more particulars of this horrible affair. The Trial of the Modocs. SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.—A ispatch from Boyle's Camp, dated Jun , 11th, says'that the Modoc captives wil • be tak en to Fort Klamath, where 'the mmiss ion will sit to try them.
