We devote considerable space of tfiis
ifsue to two of tbe most remarkable
runrdcr cases in the aunals of crine io
ttiis country, namely, the Hunter mod
Armstrong murder, at Camden, S.J,
and the liiobop aud Cobb murder, at
JS'orwich, Conn. Tbe cause of the
murder by Hunter was money. The
eauie of tbe murder, or double murder,
by Uiiihop aud Mrs. Cobb, waa love,
ilurder for money, and niutder for love,
dread fol to think of ! and if it were not
for tLe actual occurrences, tbe man and
woman without guile would pronounce
the recital of such diabolical woik, but
tbe recital of a wild thcnirht of fancy.

The Catholics and the Protestants of

Communism believes neither in God,

At Norwich, Conn-, a m-.n in
leve with another man's wife, and the
wife returned the love, and they per
mitted themselves to drift on from
one point to another until they com
mitted murder to rid themselves of
all obstacles in the way of their
union. The woman, who murdered
her husband by poison, is a Mrs.
Cobb, and her trial has awakened a
wide-spread attention. The name of
her alleged paramour is Bishop. A
dispatch says, the great sensation of
the trial was the appearance on the
witness stand of Wesley W. Bishop,
the alleged paramour of Mrs. Cobb
and her accomplice in the double mar
der of Mr. Cobb and Mrs. Bishop.
He said he knew that he was not
obliged to testify and criminate him
self, and that no inducements nau
been held out to him to lead him to
testify. He had known Kate M. Cobb
fourteen years, but his acquaintance
became mere intimate Li the winter
of 1877, when he accompanied her
several times to dances and frequent
ly dance 1 with her. His business was
driving a grocer's delivery wagon, and
he delivered goods to families living
in the same house with her, bo that
he saw her three or four times a week.
la May, 1S77, she began giving him :
orders, and he used to see her several
times a day sometimes often as five ! away, but Hunter, dreading the possi
or six times. Ju'y 16, 1877, he gave ; bility of Armstrong's eseap?, cried out,
her a hand-mirror" telling her it was j "Hit him ; bit hiui." Armstrong bad
a token of friendship and that his ; fallen to the ground and Hunter ran
motives were pure regard. She ac- towards biai and stood over tho pros

last verse of which was as follows :
Since I have known his love is n ine
No longer need my soul repine.
With joy I lift my eyes above,
For love is heaven and heaven is love.

something will happen to him to save
me the tronbleof giviug him poison."
By her request witness got eight
grams of morphine to have it ready
if Charlie came back.- During this
time witness treated his wife so badly
that she actually began to talk of di
vorce. The first of February Kate
said she had mixed morphine witu I
her husband's tea and made it so bit-;

with it made some pills, she repre-
senting that she could get her hus

pills, with three grains ia each, and
also got her a liquid ounce of aconite,
telling her tliat ten grains would kill
her husband. She gave him some,
but it had no effect Late in Febru

had gone to Dr. Perkins soon after
and got some morphine for her to put
in some pudding. Witness' wife died
February 7, soon after he gave Mrs.
Cobb some jewelry. Her husband
asked her where she got it She said
she had been making herself a pres
ent. On March 13 an article in the
Bulletin on poisons suggested arsenic.
Ha got some the next day. She was
to give it while the witness was out
of town, but company prevented her.
Every two or three days she gave her
husband arsenic. She said one day
she thought he must be poison-proof
enontrh to kill him iu tima Her
mind was made up and she would
succeed any way. In April she gave
him morphine, and the next day she
said he lay trembling all night so she
could not frleep. On the first of
May witness got some more arsenic
and gave it to her. There was half
an ounce of it and she gave it all to
Charlie. Next day she said she was
getting out of arsenic and he got her
five cents' worth of morphine. She
mined some of it in whisky and some
in Atwood's Bitters. He took some
of it On June 4 Dr. Paddock or
dered him to take some medicine con
taining strychnine : told her to put
more strychnine into the medicine.
Got some and gave it to her. This
was two davs before Charlie's death.
On last Thursday, the 9th inst,
Mrs. Cobb was placed on the witness
stand and testified that Bishop's state
ments were all false ; tliat he had fre
quently made her husband presents
of liquor and other articles, and they
had made him sick ; that on the morn
ing of his death Bishop had given
him something which sickened him
so that he died before the arrival of
the physician. She admitted having
known" that Cobb took arsenic for
weeks to fatten him, yet never sug
gested to any one that this mitjht be
the cause of his mysterious illness.

In 1876 twenty families that landed at

last year of exemption from military
life in Russia, multitudes of them are
ereparing to follow tbeir neighbors
hither. Tbey are selling off their
