Horrible Tragedy A terrible tragedy occurred in Philadel phia on Wednesday afternoon for which the annals of crime can scarcely furnish a parallel. Two persons, a man named Felix Gill, and his wife, lived at No. 404 Spruce street. They were old residents of Philadelphia, and well known in the lower portion of city. Childless, they were content irr the happiness afforded, by the society which they themselves afforded, and, as mem and wife, lived happily and peaceably together. A short time since this changed, and the man be came addicted to the immoderate and un natural use of ardent spirits. Alcohol changed him from a man to an infuriated maniac, and of Itkte his home has been altogether deserted for the brothels of the neighboring drinking saloons. A few months ago a legacy was left Gill by a deceased relative, named Mur phy, which amounted to about thirty thou sand dollars. This sudden elevation from a hard-working state to comparative affluence, proved too much for the man's mind. The excitement, which was the cause of the occurrence, was produced by the new existence in which the man was in troduced by this legacy. He ceased work ing and commenced a career of uncheck ed dissibation. Whisky so changed him that his best friends could not recognize the man who had previously been so quit and orderly. He committed the charge of the money which he had recevied from his bequeathment, an advance of three thousand dollars, to his wife, and then would demand it from her, when he re quired it, to furnish the means for his drunken revels Wednesday morning he made a request for money. His wife, perceiving his un fortunate state, and knowing that it would lead to still greater excesses, refused to supply him. The conversation was heard through the thin rartilion which separated the house from the adjoining one by three women, who testified that the conversation took place as stated, and the result was the tragedy. The wife now lies still and cold in death, and her husband and mur• darer is a felon in the cells of a prison. The theory which would seem most plausible is that the woman arose in the morning and desended to the second story in her night-clothes. She had disrobed in the dining room the previous evening, and her garments were all arranged upon the sofa when the officers of the Ward en tered the house. While in the second story, before she resumed her clothes her hus- band attacked her. In the desperate struggle which followed, even the feeble protection her clothing afforded was taken from her, and her garments were torn away by the succession of blows which rained down her back. In her nude con• dition the murder was consumated, and she was thrown into the entry where the officers found her. When apprehended the murderer muttered, in an excited manner, "Oh Mrs. Gill, you have been a good wife to me; for God's sake WL • did you fall down Blain and kill your aelf." HAMBURG ESEHHlTlON.—Pirlsburyhers Receive a Medal.--Ex (joy. Wright, of Indiana, who attended the International Agricultural Exhibition, held at Ham• burg, has made an otlic,al report, in which he says that eighty acres of land occupied were by the exhibition. Buildings were erected for the accomodation of more than four thousand entries of stock, machinery, locomotives. steam engines, eteam•plows, and farm implements, mineral products, artificial manures, plants, trees, fruits, Sowers and seeds. Thirty-four nationalities were represent ed by contributions, including 4000 of the finest horses, cattle, sheep and Swine; some of the sovereigns being contributors. Three thousand machines and farm im plements, and seventy five steam engines were exhibited. Goy. Wright is convinced of the com plete success of steam plowing, and thinks we are not sufficiently mindful of the progress of Great Britain and other portions of Europe in agricultural imple ments, though we surpass others in cheap, labor-saving machines, such as threshers, reapers, &c. The A.Merican reapers were awarded the superiority. Among those who were successful in obtaining a medal and diploma for ar- ticlee of American manufacture exhibited, we are pleased to notice the names of Hall &Speer, of this city, who sent over a number of their celebrated plows. Through the li beralty of German ciiizens of New York, the contributions of Ameri can machinery and agricultural imple— ments to the fair are to be preserved at Hamburg as a museum, for which liberal subscriptions were made in that city. A HOME FOR ORPHANS OF VOLUNTEERS —Madam Lizzie Bell, who ranks among the best readers that have appeared be• fore the American public, will give an "Evening with the Poets and Dramatists, Musical and Literary," assisted by Miss Gertie S. Beers, on Tuesday evening, Feb ruary 2nd, at Concert Hall, in aid of "Bell Institute, a Home for Orphans of Volun teers." Mrs. Bell comes among us with the endorsement of the united eastern press, backed by such names as Henry T Raymond, Mayor Opydke, Rev. T. S. Hawks, Hon. 0. L. Griswold, and a host of other eminent New York and Boston gentlemen. Speaking of Mrs Bell's en tertainments, the Hartford Press says "Madam Bell adds to a finely cultivated voice and a faithful study of her authors, the attractions of a graceful reasoner, and the rare ability of adaptations to various characters. She is entirely self possessed, and adds personal charms to her talent as an elocutiontst." The programme em• braces a . great variety of pieces requiring skill and taste to render them effective. This of itself should insure a hill house; but when there is added "a plea for the homeless," we trust that all will respond. CHANGES IN THE D lOC ESA' OF PITTSBURGH —We see by the Pittbaurgh Catholic, that the Cathedral parish of that city has Buf— fered a great lose in the resignation of the Very Rev. E. McMahon. as Rector. Fcir fifteen years the Very Rev. gentle• mats has been known and loved in Pitts burgh 88 pastor, Vicar• General, Rector of the Cathedrcl, and, during Episcopal ca canny, Administrator of the Diocese. In all these relations he has been esteemed 'or his piety and for his ability. The "Catholic" does not state where his future field of duty is likely to be. The Very Rev. James O'Connor, broth er of the late Bishop, whose prudence and ecclesiastical virtues have given St. Michael's Ecclesiastical Seminary most of its high reputation, is no longer its Sn• nerior. Dis rumored that the Diocese of Philadelphia is to have the benefit of his future labors.—Freeman Journal. COMMISSIONS ISSUED.-A Harrisburg letter says: "James D. IkrGill has re ceived his commission as Captain of Knapp's Battery. James A. Danlavy, Senior First Lieutenant; Thomas S. Sloan, Junior First Lieutenant; Adam Shaw, Senior Second Lieutenant; W. R. Stokes, Junior Second Lieutenant. The battery is nearly full, and will be ready to enter tain the rebels with a little more grape and canister, as soon as the thirty day furlough of the veterans is up. ' i 111,flothrir B ute/de. We fi're' Aired upon this morning to re cord another suicide of a young and beau• tiful girl, from an over dose of laudanum. From the few facts we were enabled to gather it appears 'the youthful suicide had been living in the capacity of a waiter at the Metropolitan Hotel up until within a few days ago. Being possessed of a proud sensitive spirit, together with more than an ordinary share of talent, she conceived the idea of going upon the stage, and made application to the manager of our theatre for a situation, who dissuaded her from it. On yesterday morning she left the Metropolitan Hotel and went to the Scott House, registered her name, paid her bill in advance, and retired to her room, where she committed the rash act. On a table near her bed was found a half empty bottle of Laudanum, and the fol lowing note, without date : 'Yon may think this very odd, but I oou'd not stand this wretchedness and degradation ',longer, You will Dieflao pay respects to my remains for my parents sake, as my tether will pay the ex• penses. Take this note to the Metropolitan, St. Ulm" stzest. Excuse my writing, as lam ner,v otui. Yours, Yu., KA TY ' Many rumors are afloat with repard to this unfortunate affair, but as the matter will be fully investigated by the coroner, we prefer not to give them publicity. Her , remains are at Devore's, on Grant street STATE AGRICULTURAL. SOCIETY.-At the annual election, held at Harrisburg on the 19th inst., the followi❑g officers were President—Thomas P.

Longaker, seq., was directed to invite proposals and sub scriptions from such county societies or localities as may be desirous of securing the next fair, and make report thereon at the quarterly meeting of the Executive Committee in March next. The members present exhibited much interest in the at faire of the society, and spoke most en• couragingly of its present prospects and future success. DeeTROCTIVE FlRE.—Between one and two o'clock yesterday in crning a fire was dipi.3vered in the Columbia oil yard n th 3 Ninth ward, which spread with such rapidity that in a few moments the entire fixtures connected with the yard wore in flames. The loss is as follows: The Columbia Company's loss amounts to $6.700, exclusive of barrels, which amounts to about .1:400 more, 200 barrels baying been burned. They are insured for "4'0 , 00, as follows: New York Corn Exchange, :! , 4,000, Etna, $4 000. Mr. Johnathan Gallagher loses 400 barrels of oil, valued at $3,t,00, upon which there is no insurance ; and another gentleman loses 40 barrels of lubricating oil, also not insured. As far as the company have been able to ascertain, the fire was en• tirely the result of accident. NEW Day GOODS FIRM.—By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that Gardnerik Schleiter have succeeded the firm of E. R. Gardner ,k Co., in the Dry Goods business, at the old stand, No. 92 Market street. The new firm have just received a large stock of new dry goods, among which we may mention blank silks, dress goods, spring shawls, cassimeres, linen tabling, domestic goods, etc., etc., which they are prepared to dispose of as low ae any other house in the city. The gentlemen comprising the firm are well known and reliable business men, and the public may rest assured that in dealing with them they will at all times receive fair treatment, prime goods and good bar gains. Market street, No. 92 is the place. Axe TUEY LIABLE ? — A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger asks : "Are the stockholders of Mining Companies in Pennsylvania, individually responsible for debts contracted by the Company ?" To which the Ledger replies: "By the tenth section of the Act incorporating Mining Companies, page 745 of Purdon's Digest, it is expresslyprovided, that the liability of the stockholders created by the Act, shall extend to all debts con• treated by them for work and labor done, or materials furnished for opening, im proving and preparing their lands for mining purposes, and all debts contract ed by the corporation in their business of mining, selling and conveying to mar ket the minerals on or in their said lauds." GRAND PROMENADE CONCERT AND BALL. —There will be a grand promenade con cert and ball for the benefit of the Subsis— tence Committee, under the auspices of the Young Men's Terpsichorean Society, at Lafayette Hall. on Wednesday evening next. Promenade at eight o'clock ; dan cing to commence at ten o'clock. It is the determination of those having the matter in charge to make it one of the grandest affairs of the kind that ever came off in this city, and 1:41 the tickets have been fixed at the low p-Ice of $1 00, there should be thousands of them disposed of. A number of our most influential citizens have consented to the use of their names as honorary members, and the enterprise will doubtless be a successful and pleasant one. Feta AND FESTIVAL.—Tbe members of the Pennsylvania Avenue M. E. Church (Rev. Mclleer) will hold a Fair and Fes• tival during the days and evenings of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jan• nary, 2611, 27th and 28th instant, at Lafayette Hall. This church was but re cently erected, and being a few hun— dred (loam in debt, the proceeds of the Fair and Festival will be applied to liquidating the church's indebtedness. Those having the matter in charge will leave nothing undone to render it pleas ant and agreeable, and we trust the Fair will be liberally patronized. MARRED DOWN.—The ladies furs at Fleming's, 139 Wood street, will be closed out at greatly reduced prices. We have yet left some elegant setts to which the at tention of the ladies is invited as they will be sold much below the usual prices of such goods. Those who have not yet sup. plied themselves with furs, should avail themselves of this opportunity of procu ring the best of goods at moderate prices; also, Misses. and children's silk and felt hats very low, with a fall and choice as sortment of hats and caps for men and boys, of latest and most fashionable styles at lowest prices. fde. GOUGE( AT CONC* distinguished orator lectures tonight on "Peculiar People." The simple an noucement of the fact that Mr. Gough is to lecture ought to be sufficient to attract People enough to fill the largest hall in this city. From the interest felt in his coming we look for a crowded house. By all means go early, and secure a comforta ble seat. THEATRE,—The "Robbers of Bohemia" is the attraction at the theatre this even ing. Or rather, we should say manager Henderson will be the " bright particular star " at the " Old Drury " to-night ; for be appears as " Charles De Moor the Rob ber Chief," in this popular drama. May he draw just such a house as greeted him on Saturday evening. V ETERANS IN THE CITY.—The 102 d New York Volunteers, under command of Capt.

Sex FRANCISCO, January 22.--A letter from Guadalajara, dated the 6th instant, contradicts the Mexican news received from Havana, via the overland telegraph. It says that the French, numbering 6,000, under Bazana, occupied La Poto line on the 4th inst. without opposition. The people kept quiet, many of the wealthy Mexicans having previously left. Arago, with 8,000 Mexicans, was pre pared to make a stand in the mountain defiles leading to Cofinis.. It was report ed that General Bazana would not ad• wince towards Colinia, but would open his way to some port on the Pacific, the latter being the most important under taking, considering his distance from Vera Crnz, and the impractbility of get- ' Ling supplies thence. NEW YORK, January 22.—Letters to the Herald, dated off Wilmington on the 13th, give details of the capture or destruction of the blockade runners Ranger, Bendigo and Hero. The Bendigo was run ashore, set on fire and shelled, bet, being an iron vessel, was campara ively uninjured. An attempt was made to tow her off by the Montgomery and Iron Age. The Montgomery stuck fast, but with the aid of her powerful engines she was got off. The Iron Age also got ashore, and though two gunboats tried their best she could not be moved. Her guns were thrown overboard, and she was set on fire and blown up. Her officers and crew were transferred to the other vessels. .
