The low barometer in the North-west will move Eastward, with brink Southerly winds on Lake Michigan and Easterly winda on Lake Superior; but tho dry, smoky atmosphere North of the Ohio Valley will probably prevent any heavy rain.

A communication was read from tho Tammany Hall delegation, asserting that they do not wish to embarrass the con? vention, and calling for a rigid examina? tion of the charges of corruption in New York.

It is [ generally believed the convention will ' oomplete its business and adjourn to , night. The proceedings are most order { ly and harmonious. Ex-Governor Sey? mour would have been tendered the , permanent chairmanship, but business , engagements prevented him from re r mainiug to the close. Lieutenant-Go? vernor Beach will probably be chosen. ' Henry Ward Beeoher delivered a ser? mon in his ohnroh, in Brooklyn, N. Y , ' on Sunday, on the alleged oity frauds, } whioh Booms to have been a well-consid? ered and sensible production. He told } his pew-holders very frankly that no po htioal capital oould be made out of these ' disclosures, as they were simply au evi I dence of tho financial dishonesty of UK times, whioh is as manifest in Washing * ton as in New York, and is as true ol commercial as of \?olitieul circles. 5 A minister asked a little boy who hat H boen converted, "Does not the devil lei t you that you ure nota Christian?" "Yes . sometimes." "Well, what do you Bay t< 3 him?" "I tell him," replied the boy n with something of Luther's spirit, "that >. whether I am a Christian or not, it i noue of his business." TOB CHARO" AGAINST BR'IOHASI YOONG, The obargQ upon whioh Brigham Young is to be tried, it seems, is that of being accessory to tho murder of a mau in Echo Canon, Utah, in 1857, 'and Daniel H. Wells, George A. Smith, and other Mormons are said to be implicated in tho same transaction. A man named Hickman, who has been arrested for tho offence, claims that he and two' others aooomplished the murder under the di? rection of Young, and that he subse? quently took $900 (rom the dead man's body and- gave it to the great Mormon chief. Search was made for the body which* was found. Gen. DoTrobriand, commanding Camp Douglas, baa pre? pared comfortable accommodations for Brigham Young at bis own headquarters, in anticipation of his (Brigham's) urrent. Tho high Mormons ore exultingly confi? dent that Brigham will overcome all tko charges against him before the law.

Murder is at boat considered mont foul, and thia to which we are about to refer ia at onoa most foul, strange and unnatural. Usually, when deeds of blood ato committed, there is some mad passion br deep prompting purpose, whiob, for the time at least, silocooa the still small voice of reason and con? science, and mako the man who seea red a fiend incarnate. Recently the Adjutant-General's office at Washington promulgated the facts and findings by a. court-martial in a ease whioh is perhaps without a parallel in military annula. A certain Lieutenant James Collins, first cavalry, stationed at Camp McDermit, Nevada, thought proper one day to ex? ercise his command at target shooting. The trumpeter, Kensey, went to fix the target, and when ho was standing im? mediately behind it, the lieutenant ordered Sergeant Johnson to fire. The sergeant and others thereupon informed tho lieutenant that the trumpeter stood just behind tho target, and that his life waa in danger. Collins cried silence, and repeated the order for the sergeant to fire, adding, "He"-meaning -Keesey -"will get out of the way Boon enough when you fire." Immediately after that Collins ordered Corporal Crowley to fire in his turn, although Keesey waa ?till seen in front of the target by tho officer aud the whola party. Corporal Crowley did fire and ?hot Keesey, who died shortly after of the wound inflicted. The court found Lieutenant Collins "guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military disciplino," and sentenced him to be "dismissed from the service." Now, whatever military men may think of tho punishment inflicted, civiliuus will regard it as wholly dispro? portionate to tho o flou oe committed. It appear? from tho rocord that oveu after tho trumpeter fell, fatally wounded, Lieutenant Collina "did, by his orders, continuo the target practice by firing, although he-well knew that Keesey was lying wounded in front of the target, and that other members of tho troop, who had gouo to his assistance, were also in front of tho target." Au Indian bravo might consider the action of the lieutenant prompted by a sublime indiff?rence to human life, and might rovorouco him for the act, but uo civilized Christian, Jew or Muhomrnedan eau regard it as less than murder, or wish to shield the offuuder from tho punishment which each an act deserves.

Three physicians, over their own names, aver that they had given hp the caso of a young Gertr.au girl stilYeiiiig from u liver disease as hopeless, and hud left her to die. She was a Catholic-, and tho prie t was called in and administered tliu last ritos of tho church. Her death was momentarily expected, when she fell into a gentle slumber. Sho awoke from it in tho morning perfectly well, and walked forth us strong as she had ever beeu before. The physicians who had beeil attending were sent for, and after au examination pronounced her to bu iu tho enjoyment of full health. Her story is, that on the night in'question, after she had been given up aud received the last sacrament, tho Virgin Mary ap peured to her in a vision aud attked lier if sho desired to livo, assuring lier thal if she would devoto her life to thoservict of the church sho "should bo made whole." Shu mude a solemn promise that she would do so after tho death o her mother. Tho Virgin thon disap? peared, and when she awoke elie wai strong and well. --. ?

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A FATHER AND BON.-A Chicago correspondent bf tho Hartford Courant furnishes the follow? ing: ' Chicago has recently witnessed a dou? ble suioide, of a character particularly painful and shocking. Its details have been excluded from our local papers, but I see no reason why its moral should be loBt abroad. Dr. -was one of the most conspicuous, wealthy and trusted physicians of Chicago. Ho was au Al? derman also, and a member of-the Board of Education-a mau of muoh power and considerable culture, but, like some other doctors, he hud fallen a victim to the oap. His practice did not perceptibly diminish on that account, for there is a prevalent superstition that great success in medi? cine is incompatible with temperate principles and habits. The doctor's father was a maa of similar tempera? ment, and a "free liver" also. He, too, was a citizen of prominence and had held several pinces of trust. Three weeks Ggo, father and son went deliberately forth "on a Bpree." They wallowed together in beastliness. They deserted their homes for the season of dissipation, and lodged among the un? clean. At the end of a week, tho father's endurance was exhausted, and he auuk down upon tho street and was taken home with the delirium tremens. He lingered two days, suffering all the tor? ments of perdition, and.died a horrible death, his son being dragged in from the streets long enough to take a drunken leer at tho collin. Last week, tho son's bettor constitution gave way, and he, too, was takoa home, crazed with whis? key. Ho lingered longer, but the liquid fire burned its way to his vitals, and, after raving through the terrible nights, and cryiug for more, he finally died in the midst of imaginary reptiles, and bia body was laid by the side of the fresh m ou nd ot his father. This double sui cide, so* rapid and terrible, by two pro minent aud respectable men, hns created a profound sensation in all circles where tho fucts uro known. FIRE IN ELIZABETHTOWN.-We regret to learn that a very disastrous firo ocoarred at Elizabethtown, in Binden County, on last Saturday. About 10 o'clock, on the morning of that day, flames were disco? vered on the roof of a house occupied by Mr. W. H. Sykes, the. Sheriff of the County. When first seen, as our in? formant describes it, they could have been covered with a table-cloth, but, in despite of the efforts made to check them, they rapidly spread, and soon the entiro building was in flames. They next communicated to a law office occupied by Colonel J. A. Richardson, aud from theuoe to a law office occupied by Mr. B. H. Lyou. Both of these were con? sumed, whou tho flames reached the largo store house of Mr. F. F. Cum? ming, which was also soon destroyed. They next spread to and consumed a law office occupied by Mr. T. H. Sutton, and a soi ok n-ho us o and ki teilen on tho old Crofton property, belonging to Mr. Sutton.- Wilmington (N. C.) Journal. ANOTHER GRACE DARLING.-The Lon? don despatches rocord u case of womanly heroism which will probably give its possessor hu enviable immortality of fame, like that of Grace Darling. It appears that a vessel was wrecked off Drogheda bar, in plain sight of the pro? fessional life boatmen, who, neverthe? less, refused to go to her assistance until the gala should abate. Already had six men boen swept off the wreck by the waves and drowned, when a lady put off from shore iu a small boat, aud at the risk of her own life, Baved that of ono mau still clinging to tho wreck. So runs the telegraphic story; and our admira? tion for this feminine heroism is only heightened by its vivid contrast, with what for tho present appears selfishness, if not poltroonery, ou tho part of the men. Let lis hope, for the' sake of the life-boat service, thut tho fuller explana? tion of tho affair by mail will relievo the official boatmen from tho blame whioh now seems to attach to them, sinco it e.innot diminish, in'any event, tho lustre of tho achievement of this brave woman.
