—The @hien° Timms publishes a full account of the ar
rest of Henry Jeunperts, who is charged with the mord*s
of the woman cilium) Nitobered hod) was sent to New York
by railroad, and thereliseovered in a whisky barrel,"
Jamperts makes a pret full statement of the whole affair.
The whole matter, however, discloses a sad picture of the
immorality of ail concerned. First, the unfortunpte
sawn lived unhappily with her husband, by whom it it
said she was ma/treated. She sought refuge in another
funny, and while there, owing to en absence of proper
condset upon the pert of thou/with whom she lodged, she
Was thrown into evil correspondence With Jumperts. She
tlien continued to live with the prisoner,—• child being
horn to them ; and et last, in utter despair, having abaci-
dosed her husband, and being, as she thought, abandoned
by her lover, she bung herself is the rooms of the latter.
The prieener alarmed, retorted to secrecy ; be nut her body
up, packed it in a barrel and sent it off. With that -con
scionanen which follows criminality, he had been expect
ing to be arrested fur a long 'time, and now, that be has
been arrested, makes a confession voluntarily of what he
says has bees his agency in the affair. The whole thing
astonishing. In one of the largest commercial build- '
ings in-the city, in-the very heart of business, is a man
living with a truathn, she hangs herself, and for over a
week her companiOn is engaged in backing her body to
places, packing thailitobe sway in a barrel, and no one is
aware of what is going on. Suicide it may have been, but
whether suicide or murder, it was performed with unbound
ed secrecy and a SUOMI in a building tenanted by perhaps
fifty other persons.
—The Detroit .Oree Press says, a written contract was
Glued last week between the Michigan Central and Mich
igen-Southern Railroad, by which the final laying up of
their respective lines of boats was rendered certain. The
Buffalo and Cleveland line is also laid up, as also the San
dusky or Mad River Railroad line. The magnificent boats,
comprising the Western World, Plymouth Rock, Mi *p•
pi, Southern Michigan, City of Buffalo, Western Metropo-
Its, Queen of the West, Crescent City, and St Lawrence,
which cost from $150,000 lo $200,000 etch, thus becoming
• dead foss, and aside from the value of the engines, which
are of the highest class, will yield ne return upon the im
mense outlay rendered necessary by their construction.—
Tbe Buckeye State, another first-class boat also lies at our
dock useless. Taking an average of $175,000 to ear+ boat,
which Is not a high one, there is one million and three
quarter* of money sunk in PO much dead property. The
St. Laerrenth, built at a cost of $190,000, and having v'
but one sesame, was offered not long since for $50,000, and
was rejeeted The remainder of the boats are in the same
predicament. The Michigan Central line sunk $50,090
last season, which went by way of surplus of expenses
over receipts. The other lines suffered equally in propor
tion, thus reducing the matter to the simple fact that, so
far from making paying lines of them, no individual or
corporation can take the boats as a gift, and run them fur
any length of time. They are, moreover, entirely useleFt
as freight boats, having been built with special reference
to carrying passengers, airrEbruiequently unable to co i r
pots with propellers is low rates of running expenses.
—New York City ought to be proud of her selection for
lawmakers. Among the persons arrested on Tuesday for
Jelling lottery policies was a fellow named Alexander
Garrets, now si member of the Board of Councilmen of the
Fifth Ward. Within a short time one other member has
been arrested for beating a woman in a house of prostitu
tion, another for mauling a policeman and trying to bite
his nose off ; another indulged in a free fight in a theatre
saloon , another pitched into a brother member in the
clerk's office , another, not a great while ago, was second
or bottle-bolder in a prise fight; not stew have been keep
ers of very low groggeries ; and 'row one turns up under
arrest and bald to bail as a common gambler, in an web- i

Mount Joy, Lancaster county Pa. She, in company
Miss Mary MeNeel, ventured out upon the stream in a
skiff. The boat, unfortunately, upset, precipitating them
both into the creek, which, at that time, owing to the re.
tent rains, was quite swollen and rapid. Miss MeNeel
taught a limb and supported herself until sbe was rescued
by Mr. Albert Jackson, tie Associate Principal in the Sem•
luau. After dragging the stream for some time, Miss
Culp's body was found with be arms clasped firmly around
lasting log, and was loweatedwith the greatest diffistnity.

Ire ampfloposed to beano that Spats is about to be made
to txusithebend that the Angling, unsatisfactory policy she
has so long pursued towards the United States, must be
brought to a summary conclusion For a long series of
lean the Mated finites governmeht has submitted to re
peated and cointinuous insuld and wrongs from that quer
ter, wit/eh it would not here tolerated from a stronger
power. The whole of our commerce:, with Spain and her
colonies is now carried on under the 014 treaty of 179 L, to
which no modifications have been made to suit the altered
and constantly increasing requirements of our trade with
them. Thot treaty was solemnised at a period when all
the Spotaish colonies were closed against foreign commerce
with almost Japanese exeineironOse, and the great trade
that has slat* sprung up between the United States and
Cuba, and Porto Rite), is nut even alluded to in tbat diem
want. leaving vast American interests entirely dependent
on the capriOtrand toleration of the Spanish government.
There are but two countries, tEngland and France, whose
ecumenist relations with us exceed those of Cuba and
Porto Rico, while our trade with Spain proper is extreme
ly limited and inconridereble. American Consuls are ouly
permitted, and that by special royal edict, in four pnrts of
Cuba, leering the entire island of Porto Rico and many
Important ports of Cuba entirely uoprovided in this respect,

and not from any right possessed by our government, and
are Dot in any way recognised by the Spanish officials --
The treaty of 1795 defines the manner .4 &yids and de
cidiog the causes of our citizens in the courts of Did Spain,
but is perfectly silent as to the tribunals of her coloaies,
while the treaty is entirely ignored to this respect tb the
islands of Cuba and lOrto Rico. — In ibis tangled web of
affairs the two countries have become ln•olve.I in ceaseless
grounds of complaint, which areavery day becomong more
embarrassing. The list of wrongs commuted oniAtaeri
can citizens, and insults to the American flag, has already
become en extensive and complicated, that it la with nu
Arttinary satisfaction that we note, the announeemeot to
the effect that our rotations with Spain and the et.ormous
claims of our wizens, will be taken up by the President,
without dolly, and pressed to an immediate settlement.
We I are exhibited long suffering and patience enough to
wards that goveanment which makes Its weakness its
greatest defense, and makes a cloak of iti ioctoocity for
successful resistance to insult and outrage our flag It is
a noticeable foot that whenever Spain has a demand against
another and weaker power, as in the ease of Mexico, a l ibe

meat/ of troops, in Cuba and Porto Rico, were ever in
tended to coerce Mexico, so much as to gourd her uwo
colonial poesessions from an anticipated attempt on the
port of American citizens to take possession of those Islands.
The Spanish Mexican claims are of ancient date , they
are nut of recent origin, but we have never seen a dispo
■ttion on the part of Spain to push the matter even to the
verge of hostilities, until our present adminietratioo carne
into power. The Ostend manifesto has been raked from
its ashes by the Spanish press and the government has
been ratted into the belief that a mammoth tillibninering
expedition against Cuba would be winked at by the Cab
inet at Washington, Months base elapsed since nearly
forty sail of Spanish war vessels have rendezvoused at Ha
vana, thousands of soldiers hare been added to the garri
sons of Cuba, threats and menaces whbout number bare
been launched at Mexieu• —but we 'have waited in vain
for a descent on the Mexican Coast. The SpLish claims
on Mexico, amounts to the ludicrous gum of 11500,000, to
compel payment of which the Spanish government has in
curred an expense of millions-without striking a single
blow or advancing a mile beyond the Island of Cuba.—
No wonder that the Mexicans, who appear to comprehend
the whole matter, quietly smile at our gullibility.
HOMICIDE.—Our city was startled on Thursday more
ing, by the report that an affray had occurred the night
previous between at couple of boatmen OD the Canal, in
which one of them had received a mortal wound with a
knife in the hands of the other Upon making inquiries
into the facts we found that two men, named rob Foust
and 'Mathew Densmore, kwilonging to t Canal boat
garilda, Capt. Walter*, went to t House, on the
Public. Dock, in the evening! They spent some time there

more appeared to be a mere spectator. About 10 o'cltek
they left to come up town, in company with a lad, a son
of the Captain of the boat. That after they left, the two
men became engaged in, a dispute, and fell behind. The
boy called to them to come on—that about the same time
he heard Dinsmore cry murder—upon which he hurried
back, whet Dinsmore said Jake bad stabbed him. The
boy took hold of him, found he was bleeding profusely,
became alarmed and ran away.' In the mesa time Foust
had went back towards the Clinton House, end on bit way
met Mr. Andrew Hoffses, who had heard the cry of mur
der, and upon being interrogated as to what was the mat
ter, replied that he had stabbed Dinsmore, and thrown the
knife overboard (off the bridge)—in his own words, be
had "slapped it to him good." Mr. H. and others then
went in search of Dinsmore, and found him near the top
of the hill where he had fainted from loss of blood. They
picked him up, and carried him to a house of the Corner
of Second and State Streets, and sent for Dr. T. H. Stew
aav, who upon examination found be had received three
dabs—either one of which would probably prove mortal
—two i n the left side, just below the nipple, both of
which penetrated the cavity of the thorax, and from which
the lunge protruded—and a third in the abdomen, near
the pit of the stomach. Upon the Doctor pronouncing his
.wounds probably mortal, A. A. Craig, Esq., was sent
Of, and the wounded man made deposition of the lieu
about as stated above. Sheriff Killpatriek and Police
officer Ferguson then wentlis-pursuit of Foust, and found
him at the Clinton House in bed. It appeared that when
he came Lack there, be enquired if he could tint get to
Canada that night, and upon being - told that he could
not, manifested very little concern, and went to bed. On
Thursday he wu brought before Justice Craig, fur exami

Commonwealth, and Messrs. Douglmo and Lyon fur tbe
prisoner, when be waived an examination and was cow.

Dinsmore is from New Castle, Lawrence County, aged
about 30 or 33 yawn, quite • large man and of goon repu

and 'sinner. At the time of writing this—Friday
Dinsmore is still alive, though without hope of recovery.

inquiries at all the Station Houses bat could uittain

professed to have traced him to the house of John Bleecter,
a clairvoyant in Matson ave., Brooklyn. From the fact
that when her husband left he had some $l5 in his poeket,
-she suspected that Bleacher had taken the money and con.
mailed her husband. Btu accordingly caused his arrest
by °Mom Curran of the Second Precinct. Police On
Saturday morning he was brought before Police Justice
Cornwell, when he was taken before Judge Culver who bad
issued a writ of habeas corpus, requiring him to produce
the body of the missing man. The Judge thought there
was enough mystery shout the ease to warrant further in

to obtain the necessary security, they were committed to

of a young married woman named Kerr, former

shortly expected to return home. Some time
last November she became esciente, by one Levi

A NEW WAY To PAY 01.1) DEBT.: —The
Glen's Falls (N V. ) RepuWeall gives a lo ng ,
account of a novel way of paying old debts ".A
citizen of standing" whose autograph was in
possession of a law number of gentlemen re4l
tog in and about Glen's Fails, suddenly became
"melancholy," and spent most of his time in
lonely meditation beside lamp posts and other
convenient "leaning" places, while it began t,,
be whispered that be was insane, and the remark
"poor fellow!" fell from the lips of his friends and
acquaintances. At length the melancholy gen.
tleman disappeared, and it was feared that he
had "made way" with himself The holders of
his autograph offered to dispose of the same at a
heavy discount. Fortunately for them, as they
supposed, a person was found who offered to pur
phase the demands against the missing man, and
did so for a mere trifle A few days after all the
notes and accounts bad been thus purchased, the
misanthrope re-appeared, and, hunting up -- --btr
Irien , l who had run Mr risk of purchasing the
demands, handed over to him the amount advanc
ed, and thus paid all his debts at a discount of
75 per cent He is now - ready to commence op

a A week or two ago a Cincinnati printer
visited the theatre and found a pocket book con'
mining $250. Rich beyond all expectation he
determined to rest awhile. "He "put a sub on,"
spent what money he bad of - his own, incurred
several little debts, and then concluded to break
in upon his treasure by purchasing a new hat
He entered a hat store, bought one of the latest
style, and tendered one of the $5 notes in pay
ment. It was pronounced a counterfeit, and so,
in turn, every note of his $250, found treasure.!
He has gone to work again, saying that being a
