in the best circles of this city, then a young man in the flush of vigorous life, died in the cellar of an old house, which has been untenanted for years, unattended by any who had known him in prosperous days, except a wife who has given one of the rarest instances of wifely love ever made known to the world. About fitteen years ago, the father or Charles Critchlow came to this city. from Cuba. He was an Englishman of good birth, and was a Colonel in the English army during his young manhood. Disposing of his commission and removing to Cuba, he engaged exten sively in planting, and was at one time owner of four hundred slaves.

He came to Pittsburgh. He engaged in the business of iron brokerage, and made a fortune. He was seized with a fever for speculation in oil, and in a short time reduced himself to absolute penury. Charles Critchlow Was an only child; a mere boy when his parents came to this city. He was given every social and educational advantage that could be.

secured by the lavish use of money. His father lived in a style commensur. ate with his means when his good renius brought him a second fortune. His residence was the tavorite, frequent resort of many of the best families of the city, especially those of English nationality, and English punch was the usual accompainment of sosial ment. It was by the free use of this beverage in the family that Charles first acquired the habit which brought him to a degraded grave on New Year's Day.

About four years ago he married a young woman of good family and of rare The wife knew of her personal beauty and accomplishments. ness, but innocently reasoned that her love would shield him from temptatiou and lead him to a complete reform. It was, as usual, a fatal error. Reform WAS attempted. A new position was secured.

A home was given them in the house of his wife's parents He was assisted and encouraged in every way imaginable, but even this, and the love of a wife richly endowed with those charms which would seem sufficient to fascinate and control any man, were not powerful enough to deter the inebriate from pursuing the straight and narrow road to ruin. His presence was forbidden in the house of his father-in-law. He W28 driven away, his wife having permission to remain, but she refused to desert her husband, and went with him, neither knowing where they were to lay their heads. He took rooms 3 poor tenement house, and once more attempted to earn a livelihood for himself and wife by desultory labor awong the coal yards, at the transfer depot, and once for a time as conductor an Oakland street car, but the money thus earned was usually spent for liquor. Assistance was still given them by friends who had known them in their rusy days.

A babe was born to them, and this, for a brief time, aroused his dormant moral nature, but it suffered a speedy relapse. From this time on Charles was a total wreck, a mere drunken burden to his beautiful and faithful wife, who had during most of these years managed, by sewing, to keep starvation from the door. Then the wife became sick, and they drifted from quarters SO' poor that, the rats had forsaken them, to the cellar of ler old, tumble down building in the edge of Oakland. Upon the wite's partial recovery from illness the husband was strickeu with his last illness, which was the calmination of his years of dissipation. They Were found one day, by a charitaaud most estimable lady, in a starving condition.

Assistance was given them, Mrs. Critchlow recovered her health, up to the time of her busband's death, secured bread enough. with which keep alive by taking in complaining of her fate, and never for a moment thinking of forsaking the poor wreck who lay upon a ragged bed in corner. She fixed up the little den quite tastily, the smallest arrangement the poor furniture and poorer orna-. ment, giving evidence of a refined band.

On the morning of the New Year Charles Critchlow died, and was interred Uniondale Cemetery, on the 2d inst. burial was attended by a number of prominent. ladies; and gentleman: who, known, the family years. ago, but lost trace of them until informed of ship, death by persons who discovered recently. Mrs.

Critchlow has furnished with means to place her want. Friends have presented iser a sewing machine, and she will be supplied with work to employ her time. Her life furnishes a story of devotion so pure and rare that it seems to stand almost alone in all history where misfortune and misery have striven to blunt and destroy the most enduring affection. -Pittsburgh Telegraph, 3d inst.

LONDON, January is great excitement here to-day caused by just recieved from Crete. A number of Christian families yesterday attempted to enter Retimo, a small town op the northern coast, but were prevented by the Turkish populace, who assaulted them, men, women and children. After driving the Christians back, the Turks closed the gates of the town, and then turned to the British Vice Consul, threatened his life, and pursuing him with koives until he found friendly shelter in the house of a brother cousal. The Turkish soldiers quietly stood by during these outrages, not once attempting to stay these riotous proceedings. The British ironclad Rupert arrived at Athens yesterday, and sailed last night for Retimo, and it is believed here that England will take temporary possession of the island, with a view of preventing a repetition.

of the outrage. As True as Gospel. A solid South that has no grounds now for complaint against a Republican Administration or the Republican party, still opposes the party that has conced ed to it all its demands, and opposes it for no other reasons than that it does feed. fat the ancient grudge, and will not let bygones be bygones. Thousands of independent Republicans in the doubtful States who have been voting the Democratic ticket because tLey opposed Federal interference in the States are ready to come back, that that question is settled.

When they voted to give the Southern States their rights, they did not mean to restore the condi: tion of affairs before the war, or place absolute power in the hands of the alliance of the Northern Democracy and the solid South. -The debt of Massachusetts -on January 1st, 1878, was $33,550,464, a reduction during 1877 of $330,000. -The aggregate value of the cattle, hogs and sheep received at the Union Stock Yards, at Chicago, for the year .1877, is $99,000,000. -Samuel H. White, a former Vice President and Treasurer of the Charter Oak Life Insurance Company, at Hartford, was indicted with others for conspiracy and fraud.

THE NATIONAL GUARD. Adjntant Latta's Recommendations for its Reorganization. In his annual report, the Adjutant General favors a reorganization of the National Guard. He holds that there should be a reduction in the number divisions (there are now six) an increase i in numerical strength and territory. He recommends that there be but one Major General, with three or four brigades.

The events of the past yeur have shown that the regiment is the unit that is almost always to be de peuded upon. There should be a' full equipment of clothing and quartermaster. stores, a perscribed uniform, made after the pattern and up to the standard of the United States regulation fatigue The State should own all supplies, and regimental quartermasters should be put under bonds and held to strict account. ability for their issues. There should be and comprehensive legislation that will insure a thorough under standing of the powers and duties of the civil and military authorities, when the one shall be treated as exausted and the other bagin, providing for 'he exemption of officers and men.

so far as statutes can, from the annoyance of arrest and trial for such acts as they may do in the lawful discharge of their, duties as diers. There should be an increased allowance of pay to the enlisted men, when. called for active and prompt payment of their earnings. All officers should be compelled to undergo an examination before their commissions issue. Physical capacity should be passed upon by the regimental surgeon before the recruit is accepted.

All these recommendations, the Adjutant General holds, are of sufficient importance as to require legislative action. He further suggests the organization some system of rifle practice. The .50 calibre Springfield rifles should be exchanged for .45 calibre such as are used by the national troops This State is entitled to an appropriation $13,512 67 annually from the General Government for the support of the troops, and for the present year. we have overdrawn $18,512 67. There are now in the service of the State eight hundred and seventy officer and ninety-four hundred and eightyfive enlisted men, who belong to hundred and ninety-three company organizations, of which seven are cavalry, artillery and one hundred and eighty infantry.

But seven infantry companies unattached; the rest are attached to nineteen regimental organizations LIFE IN THE HILLS. Terrible Scenes in a Mining Town--Three Men Mad With Rum. At an early hour, one morning last week, says the Idaho. "City World," Win. Paxton, City Marshal, who had just retired, was aroused by a wild, haggard-looking man, hatless, coatless, bootless, with hair disheveled and eyes rolling in mad frenzy.

He was armed with a revolver, and said that a party of tour men and two women had driven to his house in a wagon and had attempted to rob him, and that in self. defense he killed one of' the men, when the others tumbled the dead body into the wagon and rapidly drove away. His object was, he said, to give himself to the authorities for the killing. Paxton soon discovered that the unfortunate man was in the mental storm and suffering the full torments of that most terrible of all diseases, the delirium tremens, and to pacify him went with him to the scene of the conflict to see the tracks left by the wagon. It is almost needless to say that the said tracks were in the red hos imagination of the horror-racked man, and of course the City Marshal failed to see them.

Paxton then went home, and soon the man had another paroxysm and went careering down Main street, shouting "Mur der at every leap, and rushed inio Bill James' meat market in mortal fear; with an unseen foe close at his heels. Bob Handy, who was "attending shop, seeing the and crazed condition of disarmed the inan, him very coolly properly to prevent his doing harm. The little cabin where this man lived, and whence he emerged in his bad contained two others, also in the agonies of mania-a-potu. The last seen of one of these, he was running down the valley road, bare footed and hair on end, the night previous, yelling like a demon, with a. pack of grinning, bissing blue devils close in his A man galloping past on a horse was hailed by the afflicted one, who requested to' be allowed the privilege of grasping the horse's tail, saying that, he could not travel fast enough to get out of the way of the pursuing fiends.

He is' no doubt lying dead somewhere down the valley, if he did pot find watery grave in the Boise. While hell was thus holding back its lurid curtain to give these two fitful glimpses of its horrid panorama, the last remaining man in the house, too Weak to escupe the frightfal picture by flight, struggled against the imaginary pandemonium as he lay between the blankets of his hum. ble couch; and as the candle flickered out in its socket at about six o'clock yesterday morning, so, too, went his life; for in one of the many fearful convulsions with which he had wrestled during the night he died--died a victim to an uncontrolable appetite for alcohol. And he died' a most horrible death. Meeting the street ten days since, we asked him how long, should he persist in his present course, he expected to live? He replied chat it mattered not when the end came, that he had no desire to live.

We whispered words of cheer and hope but he. was lost, in the depths of black despair, lost beyond reformation on this earth. Thus perished one who possessed the warmest and most generous hearts, and who, but for the one thing, was a useful and respected member of society. Since writing the above, we are informed that the dead body of Mi Murray, one of the three occupants of the back alley, who were afflicted with the delirium tremens, and who was last seen running down the valley for dear life, has been found in the Payette valley. W.hether the report is tide we do not know, bat it is highly probable.

-A Philadelphia theatre gave away 10.000 0.000 loaves of bread on Christmas day. -The deepest artesian well in the world is being bored in Pesh, Hungary. It has already reached 3,000 feet.

supply warm water from hot springs for the municipal establishments and public baths. The boring will be prosecuted until the temperature of the water shows Fahrenheit. -The Colonel of a sub-lieutenant, on a sick leave furlough from India, heard that the young man was ntemplating marriage, and forthwith telegraphed, Join at once." The youth banded the despatch to his loved one. "I'm glad," she said, "that the Colonel wonder?" approves; yet, why such hurry, I she had then to explain to the stupid sub. that "join" meant, of course, marry.

In forty-eight hours the Colonel got a telegram, "Orders obeyed; we have joined." LOCAL.
