Accidents and Crimes.
Two BROTH2II9 MIINDERID BY A WOMAN
—A Km. Adeline Ridey, last Monday
night entered a drinking-house on Third
street, near Girard avenue, Philadelphia,
and, without apparent provocation, drew
a dagger and instantly stabbed one of the
proprietors, named Joseph Sides, and his
brother, Isaac Sides, who rushed to Jo
seph's assistance. Both the men died
soon after. The woman fled and conceal
ed herself, but Was subsequently arrested
and committed for trial. The murderess
was also the keeper of a drinking. house,
in St. John street, between Wiflow and
Noble, and had 2 a number of women
boarders. She is married, but her hus
band had left her, and was living atithe
house kept by Joseph Sides, who'also en
tertained female boarders. Rum and
jealousy appear to have been the cause of
this bloody tragedy. Adeline is twenty
four years of age, and has once been hand
some, but bears upon her face the wrin
kles that are the signs of ungoverned pas
'ions and habits of irregularity and dissi-
pation.
AN ILL-FATED WEDDING PARTY-FIVE
DROWNED —We learned late Wednesday
evening Jf a terrible accident at Dyers
ville, by which six persons, citizens of that
place. were drowned on Wednesday morn
ing while returning from a wedding party.
A party of nineteen persons; all of whose
names we did not learn, went on Tuesday
afternoon to a wedding at Colesburg,
where they remained over night, starting
to return early Wednesday morning
They had got within about a mile of Dy
ersville on their return, at 9 o'clock in
the forenoon, salien, in attempting to
cross Bear Creek, the tatal accident, which
so sadly put an end - to the pleasure on
the trip, occurred. The stream had be
come swollen with the heavy rains of
Tuesday night, and the water was above
the bridge, but the driver of the team
which conveyed "seven of the party
thought he could strike it and made ihe
attempt. The bridge is approached on
each aide by a turnpike road, and failing
to keep this, when nearly upon the bridge.
sod in quite deep water, the horses and
the wagon with It' living freight were
precipitated down the embankment into
the swift current, where five of the seven,
four men and a child, were drowned in
the presence of the remaining twelve,
who were in the wagon behind, and were
powerless to pave them from their fate.
The wife of Mr. Holscher, of Dyersville,
and the mother of the child, was, after
some time, heard calling for help a king
distance down the stream, and when
found was clinging to the bough of a tree,
and nearly exhausted. A farmer, living
near by, mounted his horse and swam in
to her, and with much difficulty succeed
ed in taking her ashore. Our informant
said it was not expected that she could
live, and she died on the evening of Wed
nesday. Mr. Holscher's father-in-law was
also one of the number of those drciwned.
But one man of those in the wagon was
safely rescued. The party were princi
pally Germans, and were among the best
citizens of Dyeraville."—Dulaque (Iowa)

ATROCIOUS OUTRACT..-011 Thursday even
ing last a young woman of most respecta
ble family, and herself most respectable,
was, white crossing the New Green, set
upon by a gang of soldiers, said to be ten
in number, and most horribly outraged.
All she remembers is that she wag thrown
to the earth and gagged. She then be
came insensible. She was, after the fiends
had accomplished their purposes, found
and tenderly cared for, and taken to her
home. Medical aid was called at once,
and since then everything possible has
been done for the unfortunate young
woman ; but there seems to be little hope
of ber recovery. She was most dreadfully
abused, and if she lives it is doubtful
whether she will ever be her former self.
Every effort is now being made to appre
hend and bring to justice the wretches
who were concerned in the horrid crime,
but there seems to be really but little
prospect of their being found. The poor
girl's agony of mind is even greater than
her terrible bodily sufferings.—New Haven
Palladium, June 9th.
11ORRIBLI ACCIDENT.—Of all the Fourth
of •July acoidents which we have ever
read, none equals in revolting and heart
sickening horror that which happened on
board the steamer Ottawa last Tuesday,
while making a pleasure excursion to
Put-in-Bay—the particulars of which are
furnished by the Sandurky Register:
"The shaft of the vessel is situated
some eighteen inches above, the main
deck, and spliced in the center. From
the splices a nut protrudes, which in its
revolutions, caught the crinoline of a Miss
Whitehead, who, in her efforts to extri
cate herself from being wound around the
shaft, caught hold of a Mrs. Montgomery
with a deadly grasp. Mrs. Montgomery
immediately grasped a Mrs. Fisher, and
the three 'were wound around the shaft
together, end crushed in the moat horri
ble manner. The parties all belonged to
Locust point. The husbands, children
and friends of the unfortunate persons
were on board, and beheld the horrible
sight without any power to relieve them.
The boat was turned and headed for
home, and the party that bad started out
for a day of pleasure end rejoicing; re
turned in grief andsmourning."
The Conneaut (Ohio) Repartee says the
parties were from that vicinity, and gives
the following additional particulars :
." The statement as given •by the Ban
duslLy Register is partly correct, partly in
error. The name of the steamer (a one

Capt. Reuben Grant, son of Whitney

of Mr. Southwick. Mr. S. having been
employed on the same boat until the day
before. Several ladies were on board,
and had been cautioned to hold up their
clothes in stepping over the shaft. Mrs.
Montgomery having a headache had lain
down in a berth, directly over the shaft,
and. contiguous to the crossing, while
- Mrs. Southwick sat near by in a chair
holding a babe. Miss Whitehead stood
astride the shaft, talking to Mrs. Mont
gomery, and as soon as her clothing was
caught, seized hold of , Mrs. M., lying in
the berth, who, as she was dragged out,
caught Mrs. Southwick, when the three
were killed, as above stated, before the
machinery was stopped. Miss Whitehead.
went round with the shaft twice, Mrs.
Montgomery once, and Mrs. Southwick

were badly torn, the clothing and flesh.
being tangled into a shapeless mass ; Mrs,
Southwick making but a part of a revo
lution, was not as badly mangled, having
only her legs and back broken. The
child which Mrs. S. was bolding at the
time, though covered with blood, was not
injured, and is supposed to have fallen
upon deck as the mother was caught. Mr.
Southwick did not witness the terrible
scene, having but a moment before gone
forward, where fare was being collected.
The first intimation he had of it was some
one came towards hide bringing his child
covered with blood, and then the sad
truth flashed upon his mind.
IMPOSING ON AN EDITOR—FATAL RasoLT.
--Seine cowardly Fcamp sent us a while
ago a notice of what purported to be the
marriage of a couple at Oneida Valley,'
Madison county. We published it be
cause we have a number of subscribers in
that place. We have since learned that
the notice was a cruel hoax. The names
given were of well known parties, but no
marriage between them occurred or was
ever d7eamed of. As it turned out, the
affair was attended with a very sad result.
A correspondent writes us that a young
lady was .accused of being the author of
the hoax, and her feelings were so wrought
upon by the . opprobrious charge that she
went into spasms and died almost IMEGG.

Au Exquisite Ballad.
[The following ballad is the imagery of an
Irish poot, whose name has escaped us, but all
Iva' agree in pronouncing It highly imagina—
tive, purely affectionate, and singularly melo
dious :]
Come to me dearest, I'm lonely, without thee,
Daytime end night-time I'm thinking about
thee ;
Night time and daytime in dreams I behold
thee,
Unwelcome the waking which Gauen to fold
thee ;
Come to me darling, my sorrows to lighten,
Cume in thy beauty to bless and to brighten ;
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly ;
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.
Swallows shall flit around the desolate ruin,
Telling of Spring and its joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love and its manifold
treasure,'
Are circling my heart with the promise of
pleasure;
Oh ! Spring of my spirit, oh ! May of my
bosom,
Shine out on my soul till it bud and blossom ;
The waste of my life has a rose—root within it;
Aad thy foadness alone to the sunlight can
win IL
Figure wltioh moves like a song through the
even
Features lit up with the reflex of heaven,
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin our mother,
Where sunshine and shadows are chasing each
oiler ;
Smiles coming seldom, but ohild•like and
simple,
And op'aing their eyes from a heart of a dim-
ple •
Oh, than ks to the Savior that even thy seeming
Is left to the sleeper to brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad when you knew I was
gladdened;
Dear, are you sad now to hear I am saddened ?
Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time
le ve,
As octave unto octave, or rhyme unto rhyme
love.
I cannot !mile, but your cheeks will be glow
ing ;
You cannot weep, but my tears will be flow
ing;
You will not Huger when I have died, love.
Come to me, dear, ere I die of my sorrow,
Rise on my gloom like the sun on to-morrow.
Strong, swift and fond as the words which I
speak, love,
With a song at lip, and a smile on your cheek,
Come, for my heart in your absence is dreary ;
flute, for my spirit is sickened and weary ;
Come to the arms which alone ■hall caress
thee
Come to the heart which is throbbing to bless
thee.
DESIRABLE.-A small reward will be paid
for the discovery of a dozen original ad
jectives to• be used in complimenting
actors, generals, teachers, and steamboat
men. All the American adjectives in cur
rent use are now worn threadbare. There
is no-river man who is not weekly • pro
claimed in at least a dozen newspapers,
" Courteous, prompt, energetic, reliable,
gentlemanly, affable," &o. There is no
star actor or actress who is not puffed ad
nauseam as "brilliant, natural, versatile,
gifted, admirable, talented," &o. There
is no general who is not landed while - he
is in command as " brave, skillful, clear
headed., judicious, soldierly," and the
like. There are no teachers who are not
" competent, laborious, worthy, devoted,
and faithful," and there are no school
children who are not " praiseworthy, in
telligent and studious." The adjectives
now used are generally alittle too sweet.

Girls Should Learn to Keep House.
'No young lady can be too well in
structed in anything which will affect the
comfort of a family. Whatever position
in society she occupies, she needs a prac
tical knowledge of household duties. She
may be placed in such circumstances that
it will not be necessary for her to perform
such domestic labor ; but on this account
she needs no less knowledge than if she
ware obliged personally to attend'over the
cooking stove and pantry. Indeed. I have
often thought that it is more cittE3ult to
direct others, and requires more eaperi•
ence, than to do the same work with our
own hands.
' Mothers are frequently so nice and par
ticular that they do not like to give ill
any part of their care'to their children
This is a great mistake in their manage
ment, for they are often burdened with
their labor and need relief. ' Cnildren
should be early taught to make them
selves useful ; to assist their parents every
way in their power, and to consider it , a
privilege to do so.
Young people cannot realize the im
portance of a thorough knowledge of
house-wifery ; but those who have suffered
the inconvenience and mortification of
ignorance can well appreciate it. They
should be early indulged in their disposi
tion to bake, and experiment , in cooking
in various ways. It is often but a trouble
some help that they aff)rd ; still it is' a
,great advantage to them. ,
I knoW a little girl who at .nine yeirs
old made a loaf of bread every week dur
ing the winter. Her mother ,tausrht her
how much yeast, and 'salt arid flour to
use, and she became qUite an expert
bakir. Whenever she is disposed to try
her skill in making simple cakes or pies,
she is permitted to do so. She is thus,
while amusing herself, learning an im•
portant lesson. Her mother calls her her
little housekeeper, and often permits her
to get what is necessary for the table. She
bangs the keys by her side, and very
musical the jingling is to her ears. I think
before she is out ol•her teens. upon which
she is not'yet entered, she will have some
idea ho,v to cook.
Soma mothers give their daughters the
care of housekeeping, each a week by
turns. -It seems to me a goimi a-range•
meat, and a most useful part of their edu•
cation.
Damtstic labor is by no means incom
patible with the highest degree of refile
ment and mental culture. Nisny of. the
moat elegant, accomplished women I have
known have looked well to their houie
hold duties. and have honored themselves
and their husbands by so doing."
Thus far from Anna Hope ; and who
Anna Hope is, we know not ; but one
thing we are sure of, she is not wise above
what is written. Solomon speaks the
praise and properties of a good wife, in
Proverbs, xxxi. Girls will ypu read it ?
Begin at verse 10.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking. and
neatness of the kitchen, have . a great deal
to do in making life happy and prosper
ous. The charm of good houSekeeping is
in the order, economy, and taste displayed
in attention to little things, and these lit
tle things have a wonderful influence. A
dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driv
en many a one from home to seek com-
fort and happiness somewherts else. None
of our excellent girls are fit to be msrried

deep and profound mysteries of the kitch

GRANT'S PASSION TOR SMOKING.—The
June number of garper's Hagizine has an
interesting article, entitled " Recollections
on Grant," giving anecdotes' illustrative
of his character and an estimate of his
military genius. It seems that the niotto
of the Scottish clan from which Grant de
rives his surname, is "Stand ; fast, stand
firm, stand sure." 'The following extract
is interesting: • i
" He is a more inveterate smoker than
either Sherman or Rosecrans, but he
smokes in a different style and for a dif
ferent effect. Both Sherman and Rose
crans take to tobacco as a stimulant to
their nervous orianizations. (rant smokes
with the listless, absorbed, and satisfied
air of -an opium -smoker, his mind and
body being soothed into repose rather
than excited by the effect of the weed.
Neither Sherman nor Rosecrans are neat
smokers, the velvet breest-facing of their
coats and their shirt-bosoms being gener
ally soiled. Grant, on the 'contrary, is
very neat, and smokes only i the best of
cigars. He smokes almost without cessa
tion, and is never at ease when employed
at anything which forbids smoking as an
accompaniment. During the famous in
terview with Pemberton' before Vicksburg
he smoked with his usual' ; composure.
5We pardon Gen. Grant for smoking a
cigar as he entered the smouldering ruins
of the ,town of 'Vicksburg,' ;said a rebel
paper after the surrender. ' b little stage
effect, it added, is admirable ,in great cap
tains.' .put Grant never smokes dramati
cally. His cigar is a necessary part of
himself, and isueither assumed nor aban
doned for state occasions. He has been
known to smoke at reviews, and has fre
quently been brought to a halt, and Noti
fied by sentinels or, guards over commis
sary stores, 'No smoking allowed here,
sir.' On entering ,the Senate, Chamber he
had to be requested to leave his cigar out
side."-
A WZALTHIr Cuuacu.—The real estate
of Trinity Church, New York, originally
consisted of 2,068 lots, grinted it by King
William 111, in 1897, Since,l74B, 318 lots
have been, - given away, 1,050 have been
sold, 691 remain ; yet, owing to the rise
of property, the value of the remaining
lota is very moth greater than the orieinal
value of the .whole. William B. Astor
'leases a large number of the lots, which
!elutes will expire at the Close of May,
1866, When the Chuieh'wilt eCoine into full
possession of them. Their value is esti
mated at $6,000,000. The Astor lease in
eludes 336 lota, which were let, in 1767, at
seventy-five cents yearly per lot fora term
of ninety-nine years. They are all occu
pied by buildings which bring Mr. Astor
high rents, and comprise ,some of Abe
most valuable sites in the First, Third,
Filth, Eighth and Ninth Wards. Mr.
Astor pays Trinity Ciiapel $269 per annuul
for all the lots, being about seventy-five
cents each. If we estimate the rental
f►om each building on these lots at the
low average of $5OO, the .fortunate lease
holder must receive on an invested capi
tal of $269, an income of $169,000 per
annum ! In a few years all the leases
given by Trinity to various parties will
expire; and the property will revert back
to the corporation. The value of the
whole real estate will then, it is said, not
fall short of twenty millions of dollars.
NUMBER 9.
To Me Editor of the N. Y. Tribune
Will you kindly permit a small
space in your paper to say something rel
ative to the theater bearing my name in
Washington ? In that building I have
always conducted one business. For that
purpose, after infinite exertions, I secured
its erection.. In it I invested all the earn
ings of my life and considerable sums ob
tained from friends. I have offered it for
sale ; the price was named as less than its
Arable by (among others) Mr. W. E'. Spald
ing, the owner of a similar theater, known
as "Grover's," in the same city. The thea
ter wee not 40 7 d. I waited until-July 1, so
as to afford the parties every opportunity.
My action in the premises has been ac
knowledged as "courteous, kind and
libeml." I now have no other resource
but to resume my legitimate and lawful
business. The claims upon the - building,
the claims of raV own fitnlif—my owe
rights as .2 eanti-li lus Net nud excuse this
intention. I did not desire to ao vtutet.e...
to public sentiment ; the failure to pur
chase was in it..elf to me some evidence
that the public was not averse to the le
gitimate use- of the property. I could not
perceive any disposition to interfere with
me by violence; but on all sides in' Wash
ington I found warm sympathies and gen
erous patronage. When I announced the
opening—which I did one week itt ad,
vance,-a large number of seats were en
gaged, and a large number of ladies went
to the theater on the evening named.
The Mayor of the city assured me that he
had no apprehension whatever about any,
disturbance. The Marshal of Police gave
me the same assurance. At 6 p. m., on the
day of the intended performance, my
theater was taken in charge by the mili
tary "to prevent any performance." Since
then I have had two interviews with the
Secretary of War. At first I was inform
ed that the act of the military was " from
fear of violence " I assured the Secretary.
that I had no such fears and was willing
to take the risk, and advised him of the
views of the city authorities. At the se
cond interview I was told " that it was de•
cided that the theater must not be used
for theatrical entertainments." I am, as
I have been, willing to please those who
desire to change the character of my pro
perty by selling it at a fair price; but I
mu - t protest against my being deprived
of the privilege of conducting a lawful and
legitimate business within Inv own property, if
not purchased—the same business I have
always conducted, and for which, as I said
'before, the property Was constructedt I
but claim my rights as a citizen of the
country. Very respectfully,
There is something exceedingly melan
choly in the accounts which are, given of
the custom of courtship in Greenland.
G2nerally,.wornen enter upon the blessed
estate with more willingness and less so
licitude than men. Tue women. of Green
land are an exception to this rule. A
Greenlander, having fixed his affections
upon some female, acquaints his parents
with the state of -
to the parents of the girl, and if the par
ties thus far are agreed. the next proceed
ing is to appoint two female negotiators,
whose duty it is to broach the subject to
the young lady. This is a matter of great
tact and delicacy. The lady ambassadors
do not shock the young lady to whom
they are sent by any sudden or abrupt
avowal of the awful subject of their mis
sion. Instead of doing this, they launch
out in praises of the gentleman who seeks
her hand. They speak of the splendor
of his house, the sumptuousness of his
furniture, of his courage .and skill in
catching seals, and other accomplish-
In en til.
The lady, pretending to be affronted,
even at these remote hints, runs away,'
tearing the ringlets of her hair as she re
tires, while the ambassadresses, having
got the content of her parents, pursue
her, drag her from her concealment, take
her by force to tue house of her destined
husband, and there leave her. Compelled
to remain in there, she sits for days with
dishevelled hair, silent and dejected, re
fusing every kind of sustenance, till at
last, it kind entreaties do not prevail, she
"is compelled by force, and even by blqws
to submit to the detested union. In some
cases, Greenland women faint at the pro
