A Motheb of Cbiminals.?We find in tbe New York Times the following record of a family of criminals tbot lived io doe of tbe Counties on the1 upper Hudson, in New York. Says tbe Time$: ,) Spine seventy years ago, a, young girl named "Margaret" was left adrift io one of -these villages?it does not' appear whether through the crime or misfortune of others. Tbere was no alms-house in the place; bot she was a eobjeot of oat door relief, probably receiving occasionally food and OlOth iug ftuu* tug Giuioittin, butt uor^JC ?UU oated, and never kindly sheltered in a home. She became the mother of a long race of criminate and paupers, and her progeny baa cursed the country ever since. The County records show 200 of her descendants who have been criminals. Io one single generation of ber unhappy line there were twenty ohildren; of these, three died in in? fancy, and seventeen survived to ma? turity. Of the seventeen, nine served in the State prisons for high crime? an aggregate tsrm of fifty years, while the others (were frequent inmates of jails and penitentiaries and aimB houses. , Of tbe 900 descendants through six generations from this unhappy girl who was left on the village streets and abandoned in her childhood, a great number have been idiotsi imbeoiles, drunkards, lunatics, paupers and pros? titutes; but 200 of the more vigorous are on record as criminals. This ne gleoted little1 child has thus cost the County authorities, in the efiVots t?he has transmitted,-hundreds of thou? sands of dollars in tbe expense and care of criminals and paupers, besides tbe untold damage she baa inflioted on property and public morals. When we think of the multitude of wretebed beings she has left upon the earth; of the suffering, degradation, ignorance and crime that one child' has thus trausmitted; of the evil she haH caused to thousands of ihuuoent families aud the loss to the community, wo can all feebly appreciate th? importance to the public of the o?re and education of a single pauper child. The ^Loss of tue CosPATBJCK ? Shipwreck at neu i? one of those cula mi ties which .modern science ,s??mB in vain to endeavor to prevent.. Precau? tions against Are may.reduce the num? ber1 of ?rtb at sea, but of lute there have been two signal instances which show howiicpoHHible.it io to Obtain perfeot safety. The first was the Japan, and of. the particulars of the Iobs of that steamship even the Pacific Mail Company, which owned it, does not yet appear to' be fully informed. The second example is the. destruction by fire of the British ship Oospatrick, which was[horned at sea on November 17, during a voyage from Ljudnu to Auckland, New Neuland. Nearly 500 pernoDO axe supposed to have perished, and only three aro known to have sur? vived.: ' The horrors which these fortu? nate survivors endured may be inferred from the plain language of the de? spatch. "During tho greater portion of this time," it is calmly said, "they sustained their lives by drinking hu? man blood und eating hnmau fleah, taken from the bodies of others, their companions, who hud died in the boat." Ii is impossible to realize tbe extremity of hunger uto which these sailors must have been reduced, nor is it advisable to dwell too long, upon Lb is part of the horrible story.. The rest of it is painful enough. . The steerage passengers, numbering 121, were for the most part agricultural laborers, ac? companied by tbeir families, who were seeking homes in Australia. The Cos . patrick,is udded to the list of vessels lost at sea, and with this record thou? sands of bereuved friends aud families mast be content. .It is ouly to be hoped that later despatches will bhcw that other boats, containing some of the passengers aud orew, bave been picked up by passing vessels. ~,-j?; ? A Murdebeb Hung ?John Good? man, the murderer of the Hay ward family,'was. hung at Ottawa, Putnam County, Obio, on the the 30th ult., at 12 o'clock. Goodman wus not at all resigned to his fate. The town wa* full of people, and fears were enter? tained that the iuob would rescue the onlpi.it from the sheriff to lynoh him rbnteide of * ho t^wn to "^rev**!!* which a compuny of militio, seventy-five strong, wus sent to Ottawa to guard the prisoner. * Bbpobted Death of Esparteho.? A cabde j telegram reports the death of Eapurte.ro, the veteran- Spanish states? man and general. Although identi? fied with the loyalists, Espurtero bao managed to keeX on good terms with tl^a proviaigntsjkaod republican go ven?uenta that have riseu doting tbe latter part of his life. He was a native of La Manoba, having been born at Grauatula in 1792, and was tbe young eat ot nine children of a cartwright. GjKRfD M?BDEB.?John Vetter, an infant three booths old, was suffo? cated in Cincinnati, Saturday, by hi? parents, who were both drunk, lying on it in bed. The oorpse remained in tbe bouse until the morning before it was discovered by tbe neighbors. Tbe parents made no attempt to bury it. j They are now in the station bouse. The father is Buffering from delirium tremens.

C Tbe usual number of ChriBtmcs morders and deeds of violence are re? ported this year by oar exchanges. Tbe day of all tbe year on which all animosities should be hoRhed and all bad passions stilled, is chosen as a fit ting time for the gratification of ma? lice, hatred and revenge. Tbe birth? day of the Prinoe of Peaoe ia convert? ed into a carnival of ruffianism. Tbe English bishops are aftor their olergy. A rector with a Balary of 310,000 a year, having failed for $120, 000. compromised with his creditors at 25 per cent., bus been requested by hia bishop to resign. He has de? clined, and Bays that, having "great expectations," bo will eventually pay up in full. i In some of the Oranges a "query box" has been introduced. Important questions are written on slips of paper; tbe secretary then passes the box, col? lects und reads them, and the mem? bers of tbe Grunge, who wish to do so, give their views upon the questions read. Ou Sunday morning, in Chennngo County. N. Y , Mrs. E. H. Fitch, a re npectable lady, aged seventy-four years, was brutally killed in cold blood by John P.

Twenty miners were killed last Thursday, by an exploniou in the col? liery at North Staffordshire. England, and thirty persons injured by the rail? way 1 accident tueniioued last week, near the -same place, have' since died. The Bay Ridge tragedy, N. Y., where two burglars met their death while plying their vocation, has been duplicated in St. Johnsville, in the same State. A case has just come to light in Odehsa, where the wife of a merchant sawed off the head of ber husbaud with a band'B&w, while her paramour held bim down. John Chesnut, of Kershaw, died very suddenly ou Christmas night. Tbe verdict of the jury was that he came to bis death by the excessive use of ardeut spirits.
