A closer examination revealed the tact that he bad received a bullet wooodlo the bead, The Impression that Mr. Walradt had murdered bia fin Uy and afterwards shot himself in a fit of insanity, immediately received credit, but a little reflection and an examination of the nature of the man's wound, aroused a suspicion uf foul play on tbo part of an Invader of Us home. It ts believed that the wound Is not one that could have been Inflicted by a gun in the hands of the murdered man. If; according to the ffrat supposition, the man had killed himself by placing the muzzle of the gun to his head and discharged it, bis head must have been blown to pieces.

But Instead or the head being mutilated, it bears tbe simple mark of tbe hole made by tho bullet. Another fact would also indicate that the dead family had foully dealt with by a etrange murderer. According to our Informant, Mr. Walradt was understood to have a check in the house to tbo amount of severalbundred dollars, only a short time previoua to his death. We also understand that Mr.

Van Yalkenburg bad given tbe murdered man a cheos for four hundred dollars a tew days before, and the ter rible crime is thus readily attributable to some fiend lu human shape wbeae dealxe to possess a few hundred dollars, tbe hard earnings of a poor man, led him to the perpetration of an net that Is almost without parallel la a quiet, law ahidtogcommrnityl 1ND OFlp; FeUlffi AOfOP THE IA6I, .12. The fourth act of the Pittsburg tragedy has cloaed with intensely toasatlonal, After a careful bearing to the Court of Oyer and Terminer at Pitts burg, Pa MrB. Martha Grinder, Benjamin a Marschsll and August Frecke, have been tried and found guilty of murder In the Bret degree, and sentenced to death Judge" Bterrett' on Saturday last in the presence of a great ctowd of anxious spectators pronounced sentence. aUBSOHALL WAS SENTENCED WEST, To bim tbe Judge sold: Benjamin Bernhardt Marscball: You were tried at the present teim of tble Court for the murder of an unknown man on Boyd's Hill, and found guilty of murder in tbe first degree. Experienced counsel were assigned by the Ito conduct your defense, and they have faithfully discharged the duty Impjsed on them.

The Jury could have no doubt of your guilt You had voluntarily made a full confession of voirr participation in the murder, In all 'Sickening details; and one could doubt the truthfulness of your statement, corroborated as it was by other facte and circumstances proved on the trial. You and your companion in thecrlme became av qiiainted with the stranger on your way from New York, and supposing that he had a considerable sum of money on Mb person, you resolved to kill him for the purpoao of securing tne money, ityacia ui iimvouuou abip, you won hie confidence, and on your arrival In Pittsburg you led him, undcrpretense of securing suitr ebleloORUig, to. a secluded spot on the hill, and there brutally murdered him, stripped him of his money and clber valuables, ana tnen, to oreveut mscovery imev, his papers and some of his clothing into tho river. It was indeed a moBt cmel and diabolical act. The stranger in a strange land was basely deceived, and without a moment's warning hurried fiom time into eternity, by those who should nave Bympaiuizeu wim mm auu naou him by the hand to held bim along in his new home.

When you were engaged In this work of death, you felt secure in the bellertoat no one saw you, but the oyo of God was upon you, and be so ovorruled your wioked plana and purposes ato make your own conscience your accuser. You stated in the presence of the Court, a few days aeo, that you never' could rest after the murder," that yOU COUia not wriiu, uciauao jum uauu Duuuit over and that you feel a great deal eaBler" Blnco you admitted your guilt. 'An overburdened couscience demanded and obtained reliet In a full confession or guilt, and you ttand hore to day virtually Bell condemned. AU tuat now remaiue wj wuuuio sentencewhlch the law hue affixed to the crimo of whlob you have been convioted. The sentence of the law is, that you, Benjamin Bernhaidt Marscball, the prisoner at tne bar, be taken hence to tbe jail of Allegheny county, whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, aid that you be there hanged Ly the neck until you be dead apd may God, in His inflnlta goodness, have meroy on youruoui After the sentence Marscball set down, bowed bis head on his handB.

and continued in tbls position, occasional ly wiping away his tears, until sentenoe has been passed upon Frecke, ana tne oraer givwu i jt uwm rauiuvw. Frecke wiis sentenced next' for the same murdsr. Tho prisoners were then remanded to prison, THE MODEBN BOBGTA. The Assistant Dietrict Attorney then moved that the Court proceed to pronounce judgment upon Martha Grinder. The motion was granted and Mrs.

Grinder was brought into Court, supported by Sheriff Stewart and a tipstave. Sbeappeared to berln a feeble condition, and totally unprepared for the terrible ordeal, Her face was pale, and indiaated that she was laboring under great mental Buffering, She wore a dark mtrino dress, dork bonnet, aid was heavily veiled. After being Beated In tho box, she cast ber eyes upon the floor, and did not, raise them until Judge Sterrett ordered her to stand up. The prisoner rose tremblingly to her feet, and in re BponBe to the question whether the had anything to say why eentence of deitb should not be passed upon her, said "I have nothiDg to Bay; I am not guilty; that Is all I have to say." Judge Sterrett then proceeded to address her and PBONOUNOED SENTENCE Martha Grinder: You were icdicted and trlod at tbo ptesent Eesaion of this court for the murder of Mary CardlneCarutbers, by means of poison. The counsel whom you selected to defend you, havo spared no pains iu preEiutlng your case in the most tavoiable light; but the evidence of your guilt was so overwhelming and conclusive that no human power could save you from the just consequence of your ova An impartial Jury of your own selection, after a patient hearing and caiefnl consideration of the testimony, were constrained by a Bense of duty to Bay that jou woro "guilty of murder in Ihe flTBt degree." We wero then convinced that the verdict was just and righteous, and a careful review of tbe testimony, since tho trial, hai served only to Btrengtben the conviction.

Tho testimony shows that you enjojed the oonflden. of Mrs. Mary Caroline and cmbraoed every convenient opportunity of li inlstering to ber wantd, and performing whit waa then supposed to bo acta of friendship. In the gaib of a kind and aympstbiBiug Iriend, you piepared and gave her articles ol food In whioh you mixed the diadlj poison. When oalled for was ter to quench her turning thirst, you had tbe poisoned cup reidy to be placed to her lips; aid thus, amidst scenes of domestlo dlstnss and Buffering that Bbould have melted a heart of stone, you persevered in your diabolical oruelty administering dose otter dose of poisonuntil your viotim Bank Into sn untimely grave, and a kind and affectionate husband, and fond patents wero suddenly lett to mourn their Irreparable loss.

It is nAri ntn.n nnn fmm Which human nature insttnot Ivelv ehiUiks with feelings of horror, but when it is i I ua i MAiiiaanHiil lir oi deadly poisons, against which heiuless lnfauov aui mature vigor ol manhood ore allko powerless, it asbumia tbe most hornble and detestable features. In your case, wo reRlet to say, there is not a single miliaating circumstance, tbat we can discovercertainly nothing tbat should lead you to hope that justice will not exact the full penalty of tho law. You ehi.uld, therefore, lose no time In preparing for the fearful issue that in all human probability awatta you in the not far distant luture. While the nituroand circumstances uf your crime, the amount and welsbt of evidence adduced to faaten guilt on jou, arosuchasto preclude the hope of a successful appeal for mercy to any earthly power, there is One who is ablo to reconcile mercy with justice, and to whom you may safely go for me lull pardon oi an your sins, we Kindly entreat you, tberefoie, to humble yourself beioro God, and oarnoitly Implore flfs mercy and forgiveness through the merits of a crucified Saviour. In tbls way, and in this alone, can you be prepared for tbe awful ohange that shortly awaits you in the execution of the sentence, which it is now our painful duty, as ministers of the law, to.

pro nounce against you. une sentence ot toe law Is tnat you, Martha GiiLder, the prisoner at tbe bar, he taken, hence to the jail of Allegheny county, whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, and that you be there banged by the week until you be dead, and may God In his infinite goodness buve mercy on your souL SEE DBOLABES HEIt INNOCENCE, Immediately after tbo Couit had pronounced the dread sentence of tbo law, tbe prisoner, neiving nerself or ino occasion, ana, wnue tears were tracing down ber checks, said: I have only to go to tbe bar of God it is the only place I have to go to, to show my innocence.

Terrible Tragedy Hear Little KalU A VIEWS OF CORREtPONOEMTI. fn Citr Railroaf Jginj menu Te Ol editor of Vu Brooltsf.X'agU All BrZcUOIlb UleclUig Ui luv uviuuuu wuuvu, the President of the Brooklyn Olty Railroad Company petitioned that body fortbe.privllege or putting "inrn.

outs" flown, to place on the lines of their roadi. It Is hoped' that the petition will not be wSy.nott Because the Company has never shown In the conduct of its roads any deBlre to accommodate the public How nas it failed? First, Bj refusing to run any more cars upon the tracks now In its possession, and eo'cbmpeltog our dUzenB either to crowd Into overloaded and stifling, cars full of. men, women and children, or to waituntU; tho tide of travel has somewhat abated, no' matter bow long, or to walk home, no mitter bow far. Second, Br neglecting to avail itself of a privilege already obtained, which granted the Company the right to put a "turnout'', down upon one of iti roads, at a point approved or by the President himself, whioh privilege also the Company; to stop at said "turn out" and OJllect foil fare therefor, aIthoush stopped the cars some dlj tance inside the olty lines. Third, Because, in.

neglecting to usethls privilege the Obmpanv has willfully continued to crowd its cars upon the principal lines, which lines would, othrrmi in onuitlv relieved. Fourth, Because if the Company does not use privileges already granted, (he Po0pl3 have every reason' to believe that It will not avail Itolf of multiplied or extended privileges except lor its ora benefit, and not at all for theirs. Mow it proposed that ill those who feel dlssitlsflid and disgusted with the nuinageirent of the B. O. B.

In tbe' case quoted, no gsmewas played, and the ball is neither won nor lost. Another gime will be necessary to decide tbe ownership.

If the large "of gentlemen who, on "off the General Committee, regard the suffering amongst whites and blaoks of the South with simple outgoing of the heart, will carry out the recommendation of the sub committee by beginning the work again in a great public meeting at the Aoadcmy of Music, every citizen who can spare even a dollar from his own necessities, will respond to the call generously, satisfied that it does not, wrong the want that calls for alms at his very door, in order to assist certain enthusiasts in the folly of teaohing negroes to read rather thSn to work, or for any other purpose less urgent or less touohing than the feeding of. hunger, and the clothing of nakedness, amongst hundreds of thousands of Southern people, white and blaok, who in fact are shivering for want of clothes and starving for want of food.

The Mayobalti Contest ik New York. The scrub race in New York for Mayor brings out all the worst features of American journalism. The candidates nominated are without exception very fair men; notwithstanding the newspapers are circulating the usual election eering Ubels. with more than ordinary recklessness. The Wbune early espoused the cause of the so called Beform candidate, Mr, Hecker, and made strenuous efforts to secure hid endorsement bv the Bepublicans.

Pend ing the meeting of the Bepublican Convention, the 7W6une isisted that Hecker was an out and out Bepublican. Hecker, it appears, has acted with the Democrats, and is for this reason denounced asa "Copperhead." Driven from its original position, the Tribune parades a letter from Peter Cooper a connisseuer in the matter of loyalty giving Heoker a clean bill of health as a loyalist. The Tribune has again shown that in New York its influence counts for nothing with its party. The Times has contrived to fish up a religious journal of which Hecker was part owner, and on the authority of this sheet, the Times makes out that Hecker believes tnat slavery is the best condition for the negro, and on these grounds it, of course, insists that Hecker is not a true reformer ot municipal abuses in New York city. Now, if the Times can ascertain Hecker's opinion on our right to enforce our claims against England, its readers may be able to judge whether or not, if Hecker should be elected, the streets of New York are likely to be kept clean.

The Democratic candidate, Mr. Hoffman, would, a month ago, be conceded by every jouranl in New York city to be a man of estimable oharacter, but the Tribune is not without its usual "campaign documents," in the shape of affidavits, making out Hoffman to be a petty i swindler. It is noticeable that the Tribune has little or nothing to say ogainst Mr. Boberts, the Bepublican nominee, and it looks very much as if its purpose was to draw off voteg enough from the Democrats to defeat the nominee of the Democracy and elect Mr. Boberts, for without the Tribune's support there is no reason to believe that Hecker would have remained in the field.

Mr. Gunther has received a nomination from a faction of the Democratic party, but there is no chance whatever of his election. New York is a Democratic city. In Mr. Hoffman the Democracy have an entirely unexceptionable, candidate for Mayor, and he ought to receive the solid vote of the party and, indeed, of every man who despises the shallow trickery through which it is hoped to elect the repre sentative of party immensely in the minority in New York city.

The Eev. Dr. Storrs, who cannot bo charged with enmity to the Southern negroes, in a short address before (he Executive Committee of the Southern Aid Movement made use of the following language "I have felt, he con firmed, thatno one interested in the eleva tion of the blacks could doubt the propriety of teaching them anything religion as welt general knowledge. The reason is that they are a very degraded people. They have no idea of the obligations of honesty, of verac ity, or of purity.

Lying, thieving, and li ccntiousness ore natural to them, even those who ore nominally church members." We are bound to believe from the high character and habitual fairness of the Bev. Dr. Storrs that he did not form thisopinion without adequate reason. In view of it, ought not we of the North think twice before we condemn the Southern people for not admitting negroes as witnesses and as juror3, to say nothing of conferring upon them the right of suffrage? The truth is, the Southern States have a most per. plexing problem given them to solve.

They ore not any more likely to enter upon the solution as we of the North desire by the unceasing "ballyragging" popular with the radicals of the North In addressing the Southern people on their duty at this time. The Legislature of North Carolina has ratified the amendment to the Conetitution of the United States, forever prohibiting involuntary' servitude, except as a punishment for crime. This makes the twenty fifth State which has given its assent, leaving only two States needed to authorize the amendment. The question has lost its interest; negro Blavery is dead, and its revival, even if it were possible, is not desired in any State or section. The' Southern Legislatures now in session will in all probability follow the lead of "the Oaro linas." In taking part in amending the Conetitution, tho States lately in rebellion exeroise the very highest authority of State legislation.

How; with any sort of consistency, can accept the validity of the action of a State Legislature, in amending the Constitution ot the United States, and yet deny to its action, in all other matters entire validity, it is ita possible to conjecture. The Packeb DrvoEOE Burr. The Paoker! divorce suit, which has obtruded itself on the! Courts and upon the public for several days; past, has ended in the disagreement of the1 jury. The jury was not able to makeup its mind which of the parties to the suit was least to blame. Neither, according to the verdict, came into Court with clean hands, and under the law neither'is entitled to any relief from the marital yoke at the hands of the law.

The Packers will have to make the best of an! indifferent bargain, and they are sufficiently punished by the exposure given to the oase, for bringing their ugly domestic difficulties before' the Courts. A more disgraceful case has not forced itself on public attention within our re naembrasce. "Cobby O'Lanus." We are without our: weekly communication from our friend "Oorry O'Lanus. The readers of tha Eagle will hear1 with regret our correspondent has been sici.for eight or ten days, and that his illness has takena form whioh gives more or less un easiness to his friends.

1,100 BILES OF GuTERNHKNT COTTON BOWSED. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND LOSS OF LIFE, Several Reported Bur ied in the Ruins. About one o'clook this morning a fire was discovered on the fourth floor of the largo Ave story brick building, Ho. 16 State street, corntr of Bridge rented by Charles Squiro, as a storage for free gooaV An alarm was inBtantly giveD, but the fire spread with fearful rapidity, aud very shortly afterwards the whole building was ENVELOPED IN FLAMES. At the time of the disaster it contained 2.0S0 bales ol ootton, ot which bales, Btored on the first floor, belonged to government, having been stored there by Simeon Draper, government cotton ageat.

There were also 1,043 cbcb of tobacco ana 80 Unas 01 aisttiDea on tbe several floors; besides these the building contained 300 boxes of dry goods stored on government acoount, and a number of packages of copper and iron belonging to the ao. The firemen in strong force oame promptly to the rescue, and although every effort was made to ex. tinguish the dimes, it soon beoame apparent that all hope of saving the building or Its valuable contents was loBt. within half an hour alter mo alarm was nrsr. given the three walls of the building facing on.

Bridge, State and Pearl streets fell In with a tremendous crash, involving thereby serious ACCIDENTS AMD LOSS OF LIFE. The space between the building and the iron fence: which encloses the Battery grounds was at thlt time; filled with a dense mass of people. Sergeant Young, of the First Precinct, apprehending the dungers. which ensued cleared the street, and he had hardly done so when1 the walla fell Thomas Irving, of No. 4 Engine, was at this time carrying the hose pipe round to another part ot the building and after the smash he was missing.

The body was afterwards recovered, cut clean in two at the middle; and the right arm severed, it is supposed by one of the falling iron shutters. The brave but unfortunate fellow had served nine years with No. 13 Engine and leaves a wife to mourn bis loss. Sergeant Young, himself, was severely injured by the falling ruins. Among the other casualties reported up to the time of our going to press are the following: Marshall 12 Engine, head and back.

Taken to hospital. Michael O'Hearo, 12 Engine, Bide and back, Takon to hospital. Murray, 12 EDgine, leg; and Edward Clark, 9 Engine, slightly, both taken home. Officers O'Donnell, Snyder, and two others of the Second Precinct, are reported more or less injured' There are also rumors flying about of several yet lying bnried beneath the ruins, hut they cannot be traced to any reliable source. LOSSES AND INSUBANOE.

The building is owned by John Stewart, and is valued at $50,000, fully covered by Insurance. Of the tobacco 850 cases, valued at $55 a caio, belonged to Messrs, Have meyer, 175 Pearl street. Of the $16,750 here represented, only $28,000 ia insured, the company being the New York "Market. The remainder of the tobacco belongs various parties, and is supposed to be fully insured. All the goods stored by government were uninsured.

The remaining goods, 951 bales of cottoD, are owned by several New York firms, and said to bo insured. THE ORIGIN OP THE ITBE it will be difficult to ascertain. Mr. Edwards, Supeiin. tendent of the store, went through the building last night about 6 o'clock, just before it was closed for the day, and found all right then, No store in New York was considered more safe or free from danger of fire.

No light was ever struck nor any ever permitted to bo blown out within the building; nor was any persen ever allowed to enter it with a lighted pipe or cigar.

This Paper the Largest ClrculatiM oTnnr Mrenint Taper published in the PaiteStates. Its raise as an AdTertwim Ueiium, is theeiore apparent. The Sonthern Belief Movement. The proceedings of the meeting which was held at the Academy of Music last week, for the purpose of relieving poverty at the South, provoked our criticism. The Societies which took the initiative in that movement have been made, by the conditions of their organizations, agencies for specific purposes.

In coming before the public to ask support on the plea of relieving hunger, they stood, therefore, justly or unjustly, in a position of prima facie suspicion. In making this statement, we hope it is unnecessary to say that we do so in no offensive spirit to the members of those Societies, but simply as the natural comment of the public on a certain general fact. "When a Society whose special mission it is to disseminate tracts, another whose bound on it is to teach Southern negroes to read came before our citizens to ask for money for the relief of want.men naturallysuspect, without going so far as to charge those bodies with bad faith, that what may be subscribed under such circumt tances, will be applied in same proportion between tracts and clothing, feeding and reading. When, furthermore, the combined movement ol those, perhaps, very praiseworthy associations, two of them organiaed, we believe, expressly in reference to the Southern negro, holds only that poor victim before us, while it speaks of his race as the people of the South, it lays itself open to the charge of disingenuousness. If feeding and clothing the poor of the South, white and black, were ihe purpose of the meeting at the Academy of Music, how are we to interpret the language of the gentlemen who undertook, on the occasion, to explain the objects of that meeting Dr.

Storrs declared that the funds to be raised were intended to be applied, to at least some extent, in a fashion purely missionary. The Kev. Mr. Beecher went even still farther in the announcement that the objects of the meeting were not, by anv means, confined to the relief of physical want. He gave these objects such very wide scope as to have left the public under the im pression that they embraced not only a reii.

gioua orusade in tha South, but, with all its terrible contingencies of negro insurreotion, a nmnftile of so called "moral ideas," in fact political. Under these special circumstances of the case and under the general facts of the incongruity of the form of its inception, we repeat that in coming before the citizens in tha sacred name of charity, and with plaints of pity for starving and shivering thousands of Southern people white and black, the meeting at the Academy of Music laid itself open to the accu sation of having placed itself in a position decidedly equivocal. The general committee appointed to carry out the purposes of the meeting held in the Academy of Music, for the relief of the Southern poor, appears to have become sen Bible of the awkwardness of its attitude. sub committee of that body met the difficulty in the only possible way in which it can be, met by men who are actuated in it in obedience to a single hearted sympathy with physical Buffering at the South. It did so by a resolu tion declaring, substantially that if the move ment is to proceed at all ia an appeal to public benevolence lor the relief of Southern poverty, it must begin by thrusting aside the societies which have attempted to associate that urgent necessity with their own special purposes.

The sob committee, furthermore, recommend ed that the work of Southern relief be entered on de novo; and that, ignoring altogether the sinister looking proceedings of the meeting in the Academy of Music, another meeting be convened there, with the view of placing the moneys to be collected under its auspices, and the appropriations of these moneyB in administering to Southern the hands of "such agencies as they (tho proposed meeting) may deem best calculated to accomplish the The men who make this recommendation hud evidently entered on their work in good faith, with single hearted purpose, with straightforward earnestness. The report of the sub committee of the executive body appointed at the Academy of Music has been rejected. And not only has that report been rejected, but the men who made it have been practically set aside. The general committee has agreed to accept the duties of its own appointment ns an agency of the "moral idea" combinafion for feeding and teaching, clothing and preaching at the South and has placed the business of raising money under that somewhat politice religious form of "charity," in the hands of an executive committee ot five. The earnest men of the sub committee which has been thus repudiated, can hardly be expected to find a place in this new administration of the medley purposes of the meeting at the Academy of Music.

"Moral idea" humanitarians are the only gentlemen who can accept the agency of the American Union Commission, the Freedmen'a Aid Commission, the American Missionary Association, in a work where hunger is to be mulcted of its bread to pamper it with pamphlets, where shivering nakedness is to be curtailed in supplies of clothing in order that it may be taught, under the moral influences of black frosts, the Westminster Catechism and the gospel of negro suffrage! And the disingeniousness whioh we would gladly have hoped was an unreal seeming (he external appearance of nothing worse than a blundering zeal comes to us, now, in the case of this movement for the relief of physical suffering in the South, declared in effect by the action of the sub committee, to be fully as unhandsome as it looks. There are amongst the names on the general committee selected at the Academy of Music, very many of gentlemen who have aocepted the position in singleneis of purpose. The sub committee has, in fact, shown that the representative men of the larger body have entered, on the movement lor the relief of Southern want, ia profound earnestness. Now there can be no doubt whatever that there will be suffering to a most painful extent during the approaching winter, amongst large masses of Southern people. Comparatively few of the white inhabitants of that section are in danger of perishing for wanfrof food and clothing; but the number who are exposed to that shocking contingency is legion amongst the poor negroes.

We claim for oneself as broad a sympathy with the white man of the South and with the black man, as any member of the pious bodies which claim a right to be public almoners in the case of Southern hunger and nakedness; and at the instance of that sympathy, call on all the earnest men of the movement for the so called relief of want in the States of the South, to place it where it would have been plaoed by the sub committee, outside all suspicion of sectarian or political meddling, on the footing of a real charity. If to stifle the expression of the out going of sympathy with which the citizens of Brooklyn regard the poor and needy amongst their brethren of the South, were the adtual purpose of the General Committee, that purpose it could not have accomplished otherwise to so great an extent as it will have done if allowed to confine the movement, in this case, to a form in which jaoiliavik son that their donations trill, not be i applied to alleyifttion of goffering so mnoh as A Card from the Directors or the Brook lvn Cltv mission and Trnct Society. The Brooklyn City Mission and Tract Society has now been in existence for thirty six years, and has had for Its presiding officers the Rev. Dr. (now Bishop) Mcllvane; the Rev.

Dr. I. S.Spencer; tho Rev Dr. B. C.

Cutler, of St. Ann's Church, who was President of it from 1888 until his death in 1332; and tbo Rev. Dr. R. S.

Storrs, of the Church of the Pilgrims, who succeeded him in office, It has no sectarian objects to accymplisb, interferes with no other religious or benevolent Institution what Lver, and Beeks to make proselytes to no exclusive crocd orchutcb; Dut aims to ao, as laicarujjyas posstuie, a ipoclflc and noble Christian work. That work is: the carrying of tbe instructions, the admonitions, and the consolations of the Gosnel to thoso who are outside the circle of all Cbristian churches, and who are not reached by other meanB of religions appeal and education. This class of persons and of families, alwaysnumerous in a large city, is hero comparatively more numerous than elBOWhere; ana IB continually increasing in us numbers, tbrcuab tho rapid immigration from foreign countries; through tbe tendency toward the olty on the part of those who have been unfoitanato and unsuccessful; and through tho reduction of so many to poverty, by commercial reverses, by sickness, or by casualty, or, perhaps, by their own errors. To reach iuch families with comforting and quicken ing Christian Influences; to enlighten tbe tenement cellar or chamber, otherwise desolate, with the face and ni chtlBtlan Bvmcathv: to gather the children, otherwise uncared Tor, uato day Bchoola and Sunday schcols; to preach tbe Gospel of Divine peace to the sad and the sick; to hold up tbe precious promises of Ihe Lord beforo the oyeB oi the desponding or tbe dying this is tbe work of tbia Society; for which it waa oonstl tuted; for which it commissions Ub missionaries and vtaltorp and for which It solicits aide of money and of personal ossistsnoe from the Christians, or. various names, associated in it It alms to react) also tbat large, catual, and abiftmg 'population which is every year brought hither by tho shits that be along our docks, and by the caual boats, wbiob, especially during tho winter season, find a home in our basinB.

And ii sends its missionaries to those who are assembled in tbe hospitals and the jails, or in other places of temporary dotention. To do this work it bid last year an Income, fiom a'l sources, of 18,100, or about what would pay tor a singlo modest house lot and dwelling to any of tbe better parts of the town. With this It kept thlrtoen missionaries employed, who wero aidad by more than Ave hundred volunttry visitors, both men and women, ruts year it baB twenty missionaries in the service, and desires as speedily as pessihlo to increase the number to twenty five or thirty; and the large contribution of $4,000 lately made to the aciety by tbe Church ot the Pilgrlms tho larseBt contribution it bas ever received at one time encourages tbo Directors to believe that the result which they aim at m'Bybe speedily accompliahed. It certainly can he, before the cloce of tbo present fiscal vear in February text, If tho same rate of increase shall he mainiaii ea in othn churches. And this can surolv and easily he dono if pastors, church officers, and all wbo are Interested in helping tho poor and in scouring the welfare of the city, mil refieot upon the greatness ana impoltance of tbo work, and nil! act according to tne convictions thus termed in them.

No other field ol Christian labor can possibly bo presented more impoitaut than that here opened to ub; lor tbe population to bo reached is greater than tnat or man? populous counties, and of aouie entire States, while tbo influences of a city like this extend over too continent, and radiate really around tho world. No nf ninnev can Dcsaiblv be more eco nomical than tbte; for the enliro incidental expensos of tbe Society for tne last year weiu icbo all tbe rest of Ub outlay beiog for its epeolnc work.

From the Utlea Observer of Thurf day We iaye come into possession of particulars or a most shocking tragedy, the scene of whioh was laid In the town' of Manbeim, Herkimer' codoty, about tour miles and a hair from the village of Little Falls.

The victims were Mr. and. Mrs. Daniel Walradt, and their little daughter about ten years of age. They composed a well to do family, and were well and favorably known throughout the town In which they then1 resided.

The bouse ia which the mardered family resided was. the property of the resident of the town of Manheim named Tan Yalkenburg, an intimate acquaintance and a near neighbor of tie deceased parties. Mr. Van Y. oalled upon tbe Walradt family on Saturday night, and' in a neighborly way spent nearly the entire evening with1 them, leaving them in the usual way about ten o'elock.

Sundaysotbing was seen of the family. This, however, did sot give rise to any suspicion. Those or the neighbors who' observed tbe fact and commented upon entertained the belief that the family were 'making a brief visit at the house of some of their friends at Little1 Falls, and would undoubtedly return that Sunday evening, On Monday, the continued absence of the family aa BUPPpsed exoited some wonder on tbe part ot the rest dents of that locality. Mr, Tan Yalkenburg, the owner of the house in whlob the family lived, remarked, upon, the faoiwltb very much surprise, wondering why Walradt sboflRI leave so abruptly and neglect some outdoor work which be bad In contemplation; Tuesday morning came, but nothing bad been seen of the family. The doors were tried and found securely locked.

The indications were tbat the family wete absent, and the party of neighbors who bad collected around the house separated with tbat cottviatlon. Mr, Yen Yalkesbugh, who was laboiing in a field near the house on Tueiday, bad bis suspicions excited, and in the coarse of the afternoon determined to investigate! the mystery. He accordingly procured a ladder and effected an entrance through an upper window. Entering the bedroom ot the family, the bed was found in a disordered condition, indicating tbat the family had' arisen hastily. The room also presented a very disordered sp pearance.and the suspicions of Mr.

Van V. beginning to take tome form, be proceeded down stairs to Ihe klth en. Here a most appalling and eiokenlng pecticle met his bonified ey es. Upon tbe floor In one corner of tbe room, lay Mrs, Wal'adt, lifeless, with ber bead, cut and! bruised, as though the injuries tad been inflicted with a sharp pointed atone, Her countenance was terribly distorted, and the Indications were that she 1 died only after a severe struggle with her assailant. In another corner, weltering in blood, lay tbe llttlo daughter, with a ghastly out which bad been chopped or! beagled, in ber throat, apparently witn some dull in atrameBt.

Ihe btuband and father was nowhere be Sbck.ed and palaed beyond expression, YaoYslken burg unbolted tbe Ktchen door and prooeeded to tbj houseff antlghbcr eere he rolited tbe horrid, parti 1 cubui of bia visit to the boose of the murdered Accompanied by someof the nelgbbo.s he returned toj r. i.
