fifteen years committed suicide ia Troy HY Tima passed and tha melancholy affair was forgotten Recently however his spirit was summoned at a "circle" of spuitoalists In Ant place and made tho startling revelation that instead of destroying bis own life it was taken from him daring his sleep a nail waa-drivea Hun his head whence no blood eoald flow and he awoke in the irit world As a cause of the murder he stated that he had dis--uovered criminal relations existing between ft man unknown and his' own- mother who is still: living and was murdered by them in order to-destroy the proof of their guilt- In the frensy' of 'excitement censed by these revelations the body was 'exhumed si jary summoned an examination held and a verdict rendered declaring the painful rumors without foundation No marks were found about the body corresponding to the alleged revelations The agony of the living mother cannot be described 1 Deab Lkttbxs In the United States Senate on Saturday Feb SI the President of that body precepted a commnnication from the Poet-master General miade in compliance with a resolution of the 14th instant calling for the num her of dead fetters returned quarterly daring the 'years'lfiSS and 1856--' Tho Poetihaster General famishes reasons for not being able to comply wiA a porti of Ae call Ho says that to ftirnishic would require the overhauling (more than two hundred thousand accounts of postmasters a process which could nol bo accomplished in several months even wiA' the aid of additional clerical force bat as the accounts of postmasters to be rendered i the next fiscal quarter are received and examined the aggregate number of deaid fetters' may be ascertained wiA comparatively little labor and thus furnish abasia fora proximata estimate iff the number returned in tbe year Id 1854 the number set down was 3800000 exclusive of foreign fetters Tbb number however ia believed to have been excessive and Ae opinion iff those now engaged daily in the' dead -let ter business is that the number did not exceed the estimate of 1854 Indeed it is certain that the whole number of inland letters now returned do not exceed 8000000 although there has been a large increase in Ae number of tetters circulated since 1854 SA dispatch ftom Chicago says that tha Legislature of Wisconsin will appropriate twenty thousand dollars for the aid and protection
