There are twenty murderers confined in the New York Tombs. The Cambria Iron Company's rolling-mills at Johnstown, Pa., resumed work just one week after their destruction by fire. Three hundred horses luve died in Buffalo and Rochester, in twenty-fcur hours, from attacks of tbe Canadian horse-disease, which was at tii a said not to be fatal. All tbe Btablcs in Western New York are affected : the street-cars, the livery-stables, and tbe
express companies of Rochester are all at a stand-still. Tba disease exhibits no worse symptoms than those of a bad cold, and the great mortality is attributed to improper treatment. The disease has also broken out at Brooklyn and Boston. Importation of horses from Canada has been prohibited at Detroit. There is much alarm in New York, lest the epidemic should break out in that city. The stables at Jerome Park and other places have been put in quarantine, and the owners of valuable horses are sending their stock to the country. Three car loads of emigrants from Alsace and Lorraine left New York for the West last week. Secretary Borie and Miss Nellie Grant ar
rived at New York from Europe last week. Wm. M . Tweed surrendered himself to the Sheriff, at New York, the other day. and gave bail in 5,000 on each of tbe indictments
pending against him. Mayor Hall gave bond
in similar amounts. Thomas C. Fields, an
other member of the ring, failed to put in an
appearance, and the Judge ordered the for fettnre of hig bail.
The horse epidemic has reached Boston and New York. In the latter city 1,000 horses were disabled in twenty-four hours in one
stalle, and in another, 200 in four hours. Up to Friday last, over 10,000 had been attacked. On the Third avenue railroad alone. over 2,000 were affected. It ha caused an advance in tho freights on the Erie canal, and it is feared there will be difficulty in getting horse power for towing the boats. It is state! that Boas Tweed's trial will be postponed mntil next spring. In the trial of McWilliams, Chief of the Jersey City Police, for complicity in the robbery of the Jersey City Bank, one of the robbers testified that tbe Chief incited him to the deed, stating that there was iOO.OOO in it, and promising, for 20 per cent, of the plunder, to let the thieves escape, if caught. The new horse disease is still rapidly spreading at the East, but the alarm among horse men is subsiding as tbe disease and its mode of treatment become understood. It is an influenza more resembling diphtheria than catarrh. When first taken, a horse appears to have a slight cold a cough sets in, and still later a running at the nose. Frequently a horse will cough up a large mass of mucus. The epidemic is raging throughout the New England States. In Brooklyn the horse cars have ceased running, and nearly all the horse cars and omnibuses have stopped in New York, Broadway t-how-
ing less than one-fourth of its usual traffic. The West. A stage wan recently stopped near Pleasant Valley, Montana, by highwaymen, and tbe passengers relieved of ?7,000. The Emma mine trial is proceeding at Salt Lake City. An army of lawyers is in attendance, and much excitement prevails.

eized upon by a sick man s lancy it
was that if he slept he would awake up with lockjaw. He was I rouirht to full
consciousness by the scuffle in the passageway, followed by the entrance of the assassin and the cry of Miss Seward "Oh, he will kill my father! ' but he
saw nothing of his assailant until a hand appeared above his face, and then his thought wa: "What handsome
cloth that overcoat is made of." The assassin's face then appeared, and the helpless statesman only thought: "What a handsome man." Then came a sen

side; but he felt no severe pain. This was the assassin's knife. Tbe blood
spouted. He thought: "My time has come," and, falling from the bed to the
floor, tainted. His hrst sensation of returning to consciousness was that he was drinking tea, and that it "tasted
