HORRIBLY: MURDER:—We are inform- ed that a horrible tragedy took place in Madison county, about four miles from London, last week, but our informant could not give names. We recite this awful story as we heard it. .A. farmer sold his farm to three men, who gave him $15,000 cash in part payment. In the evening he walked to London, leav ing his wife did child at home. Some time after a peddler, who had often stayed all night at the house, drove up and asked permission to remain, but the farmer's wife declined, because it was doubtful if her husband returned that night, and she knew there was a large amount of money in the house. She remarked to the peddler that if her husband returned he would probably meet him. The peddler drove on, met the farmer and returned. As they ap proached the house, the farmer observed a light in a room in which he usually kept his papers, and remarked to the peddler that there were burglars in the house. The peddler produced a pair of revol vers, and the two, stationing themselves at points where the burglars would prob ably attempt to escape, gave the alarm, and three men rashed out. The ped dler killed two of them, when the third ran towards the farmer, who killed him. Upon entering the house, the'farmer was horrified to find his wife and child mur dered. When the bodies of the murder ers were examined, it was disedvered that they were the parties who had pur cliass& the farm that day, one of them being brother-in-law to the farmer.— Dayton Journal. Or A. Boston paper says : Mary E. Surfatt was a South American woman, who was brought to the United States when a child. She kept a resort for rebels and persons engaged in blockade running. She was not only a rebel spy of the most dangerous type, but a3he has been in conspiracies of one sort and another all her life. She has long borne the reputation of a very dangerous as well as a very bad woman. She wielded a wonderful power over dissolute young men. lir "The piano -forte," says the Amer ican Baptist, "extensively as itis used, is not so well adapted-to all the' purpos es of sacred and secular music asianoth or instrument which is nowjastly claim ing a large share of public attention, and which has already been extensively introduced into schools, churches, and families, and received the endorsement of the chief organists' musicians, and ar tists of America—we mean the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organ." gir A wild beast tamer,.named Crock ett, recently fell dead at Cincinnati as he was about to enter the - cage of ani mals. He first acquired notoriety, so the story runs, by going fearlessly among a number of wild beasts which had es caped from their cage at Astley's in London. Although their rage for blood had been excited by having killed a man; he scourged them back to prison. ar Among the confiscated property receipted, at Richmond, is the military ritilraad from Danville to Greensboro, forty miles in length, which was built by the rebel army.

Jur W inthrop Shirlow, of Winslow Maine, aged 19 years, a member of the Ist Maine Heavy Artillery, at the battle of Petersburg, received a bullet wound in the neck which severed the windpipe, and when it healed it completely grew up, so that not a particle can pass from the month or nose to the lungs. To save his life an incision was made in the lower part of the throat through which a silver tnbe.passes into the windpipe, and this is the only means of respiration., —He suffers little or no inconvenience, from this mode of breathing, only he cannot blow his nose or raise from the throat. In the same battle he lost his right arm, had his right leg broken by a ball, had a ball through his left shoulder, and another one through the left arm, which yet remains under the'skin, and is easily moved about by pressing upon it. sir An ingenious bachelor in Scot land has devised a matrimonial lottery or trap whereof he is the bait.

Or The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, now in the sixteenth year of its existence, has just, graduated a class of twenty-three students, and judging from the success that other la dy physicians have had, there is little doubt that they will find enough to do.
