Frightful Suicide—A Man Lies Down on Frightful Suicide—A Man Lies Down on a Railroad Track and Is Run Over by a Train. A Birmingham (England) paper says Mr. Charles Bridges, solicitor, com mitted suicide in a manner horrible even to contemplate. Shortly before 11 o'clock, when the express train from London, due in Birmingham at 11 :io. waa within about three-quarters of mile of Stechford's station, the driver perceived a man climbing the embank merit on which the line is constructed, Arrived at tbe top. he looked around him in all directions, then threw his can in the air.and knelt on the ground, as if to look under the train which was aoDroaching. The driver whistled to arn the man, and, although he must ' have heard the sound, he took not the lightest notice of it When the train waa within a few yards of him, the man deliberately Ur down on tbe rails, face downward, and it being beyond the. bounds of human possibility to atoo tbe train then, it passed over him. Tbe driver polled up the train aa soon as possible, and informed aome plate-layers of the occurrence, and then went on to Birmingham. A little before 12 o'clock Mr. Hyatt station- master at Dow street went to tbe spot ananansine. He saw nve or six men standing round, and too terrified to render any assistance. The sight was indeed a ghastly one.

[From the Cleveland Herald. 14th.] On Monday evening, soon after six 'clock, as Mr. William Fuller, former ly County Auditor, was driving home Com this city In a buggy, accompanied by bis daughter, he was confronted by wo men at Brainardt iarm, near Brooklyn Center. Each robber was well armed. One seised the horses by the head, the other approached tbe buggy and demanded the money. Mr. Fuller did not urge any serious objec tions to giving them money, bat he is evidently opposed to the ' 'contraction of the currency" in his own pocket. He stood up in tne onggy, noiaing toe reins, and vainly tried to persuade the heathen to abandon their idols. They couldn't afford to wait for him to . exDlain his "doIict. so one, seizing him by the clothing, attempted to drag him lrom tne buggy, tie gave the robber a severe blow over the head, causing him to stagger several feet from tne vehicle.

[From the Cleveland Herald. 14th.] Hew they Punish Thieves in St. Louis. [From the St. Louis Democrat, 10th.] For a long time the police have been troubled by a set of thieves and pick sockets who are so expert in tneir pro fession that they manage to avoid ar rest while in the act of committing depredations. These men are known to the detectives, and many of them have been arrested as vagrants, "shown up," and fined, but they still remain in the citv and prey upon the community. A new expedient was tried yesterday to get rid of a suspected thief, and that was to march him through the streets with a pasteboard placard on his back. on which was inscribed the terrible sentence: "This is a thief and a safe- blower." The name of the victim Tony Craig, who is said to belong in New York, and is represented as one of the most expert men in the business. A sergeant escorted Tony, and be was followed by an officer carrying four iron rods about an inch thick and each about two feet long. These rods oonld be screwed together and used as a crow bar for prying open safes, two of the pieces being provided witn a curved olaw at the ends, made of hardened steel. With this apparatus it is said that a man can break open almost any safe in use. Tony was marched np Fourth street, up Fifth &nd Broadway, stopping at the Expreas Office and other places, to make tbe acquaintance of tbe clerks. A crowd of several hundred people fol lowed, and the general exolamation was tbat he was served right. On taking him to the Southern Hotel, Tonv objected to going in, saying he "did not board at a first-class hotel" He was then taken to the calaboose. We understand that tbe iron bars be longing to the man had recently been repaired and sharpened at a blacksmith shop, the owner telling the smith tbat he used the implements for tearing tbe bark from trees and girdling tbem, and called it a "deadener. ' A number ol other well-dressed gentry will be served in the same way, unless they shake the dust of the city from their feet There are about twenty on the list aod they will be trotted out one at a time. The History of a Gambler. Tbe Chicago .Republican says the detectives of that city have arrested man named William M. Betz, on charg es of swindling and various minor of fences. He was taken to the Armory, and there remains awaiting a requisi tion from tbe (Jovernor of Massachu setts, when he will be sent to Boston for trial His life has been eventful He was once wealthy, with prospects becoming a millionaire, but lost all the gaming table. -Last autumn he was engaged in an extensive iron manufac turing enterprise in Brooklyn, New lork, and for a time, by means earnest application to business, be came very well-to-do. Finally was drawn into gambling, and bnt few weeks passed before he bad sacrificed his last dollar. His father-in-law, per ceiving in him the elements of success, if bis passion for gaming could- curbed, took him into partnership, and for a while he showed favorable signs of reformation. But bis old familiarity with the exoiting cbanoes the gaming table returned, and he be came a bankrupt. His partner discard ed him, and his wife, for lack of the bare necessities of life, waa compelled to return to her father. At this stage the outcast began his career of swind ling. Persons whom be met in Boston, Albany, and other eastern cities, are said to have lost extensively by him, his system being to borrow large sums of money by false pretences, and gam bling away all be received.

These women arrived here some three weeks ago, bringing a letter purporting to be written by a late Colonel of the United 8tates army, now a member of Con gress, recommending his sisters to tbe kind consideration of the proprietor. He stated in the letter that one of them was seriously indisposed; ha asked the best rooms for the two,, and also that the proprietor would see that they had a earringe every day, and at whatever hour they needed it; and finally closed by saying h would be in Havana in three weoLs or o, and would pay the bills.

AN AFFAIR OF HONOR. Duel dear Patterson, N. J.—A New York Merchant and a Bank Clerk the Principals —The Former Shot in the Mead. - An affair of honor now-a-dya so rare an occurrence, especially in our northern ktituda, with tbe weather oold enough to freese the hot blood- came off lately in tbe neighborhood of Patterson, N. J. The participants in the duel were gentlemen of Nem lork city one a Mr. X., Pemberton, an importing merchant tba other a Mr, Doblienx, a Wall street bank clerk. Tbe duel ended with a single exchange of shots, Mr. Pemberton' ball striking a tree close by, while tbat of Mr. Deblienx, being better aimed, struck his antagonist in the forehead, inflat ing a serious wonud. .The qaarrel it is told, originated in this way. A short time since the parties concerned at tended a ball at Irving Hall, Mr. Pem berton accompanying a sister of Mr. Deblienx, During the course of tbe evening tbe latter learned that his sis ter had been insulted by bis friend.and he at once sought out Mr. Pemberton and charged him with the offence; a quarrel ensued betveen them bnt they were soon separated by the ball com mittee, and there fpr the time the mat ter rested. On the following morning, however, Deblienx wrote to Pember ton demanding an apology. This the latter declined to gire, whereupon Mr. Debliepx, who is a Southerner by-the-by, sent a friend t) Pemberton, chal lenging him to fight bim, or in case of refusal to prepare for oonseqnenoes which must result at their first meeting. Pemberton, even at this crisis, it is said, not having the faintest idea that the threat would be carried out, still oonsented to meet his antagonist and pot his share of the matter into the hiiuds cf a few confidential friends who J ore inclined to look upon tbe thing 1 a good joke. Nevertheless the usual preliminaries were regularly gone thro' and the spot seiettea lortne encounter. On Wednesday evening tbe duelists, aocompauied by, their confidential friends, left the city ot ratterson, where they stopped all night, keeping their plot agaiust each other's peaoe from tbe publie ear. Yesterday morn' ing, after breakfast tbe party proceed ed in carriages to Ooodwiusville, near Patterson, and , reined to a secluded spot of this secluded place to carry out their deadly1 purpose. Then and then only, it appears, did the thing begin to look truly serious to the friends, ho had been good- naturedly waiting for a band-shaking, which would settle the matter. They tried to settle the difficulty, Pemberton being willing, bht Deblienx was inex orable in hisdeniand for blood, remark ing that if Peaberton attempted to leave the grouni before he had given bim satisfaction he would shoot him then and there. As it was now evident that this geutleBau meant all he said, tbe final preparations were made, the friends ot both iarties exacting a pro mise that single shots only would be exchanged, whatever the result In conceding to this proposal, Deblienx remarked, "On shot will . do . me, I only ask but oqe," and as he said so bo looked perieotiy cool ana uncon- oerned. Pembtrton, on the contrary, evidently disliked the affair, and took his position with evident embarrass ment of manner and with a tremulous hand. Tbe words one, two, three beiug given, with the utterance of the last came the report of either pistol simultaneously,' Deblienx stood un hurt. Pemberton 8 ball navwg passed to bis left lodging in a tree close by; but he had suociieaed In making good bis word, for his antagonist was found to have received a dangerous gash in the side of the head and a slight frac ture of the skull, tbe ball escaping tbe brain only by half its own diameter. Peoibertou wound waa numediy dressed, and ths entire party returned to Paterson as auietly as they had left it, and thence took return oars for the Oily, where they duly arrived and separated, 1 mutually "satisfied," no N.

[From the Pittsburg Republic, 14th.] Yesterday evening we were informed by a railroad officer of a most horrible poisoning affair whioh occurred in Up per nandusky, on the Jrort Wayne Boad, surpassing in atrocity and bend ing cruelty even the Mrs. Grinder scenes 01 poisoning in this city. Tbe following are tbe circumstances, as re lated to u: ' ' The woman accused ot poisoning her children is a widow, aged from forty toorty-nve years, and baa been for a long time a resident ot Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Her .husband, by whom she had four children, died some years ago. bite never married again but since his death has given birth three illegitimate children, who have been living with ber. The reputed father of these ohildren lives iu the city of Pittsburg, it is said, It is re ported that some time since he pro posed to her that if she oonld get rid her legitimate children, he would pro vide for her and raise and educate the illegitimate ones, .. Boon after her eldest daughter, aged about 17 years, and living in a family soma distance from Upper Bandnsky, was suddenly taken sick and her moth er sent for to see her. She grew rapid! ly worse after the mother's arrival, and died in great agony. The physioian oonld not account clearly for her symp toms, bnt haying no suspicions poison at the time, tba body was buried. In about six months after tbe second daughter died suddenly with tbe same symptoms.- A few weeks ago tbe next in age died io the same man ner, and last week the last child (a boy) of her marriage was taken down, by late account was at the point death. These repeated singular and sudden deaths, all coinciding in symp toms ana manser together, aroused terrible suspicions in the minds of tbe neighbors, which were strengthened by her loose and immoral course hfe. Tbe county authorities took the mat ter in hand for investigation, and last week, by their order, tbe body of the eldest daughter waa disinterred, the stomach taken, ont and subjected chemical analysis. The analysis dis covered a large ' quantity of arsenic the stomach, more than sufficient causa death. As soon aa this terrible discovery was made tbe bodiea of the other two victims were disinterred, and tne stomachs subjected to tbe same ex amination, which resulted in the dis covery of arsenic in each of them. Sinoe the discovery of tha fact that tba children were poisoned, it is said that tha mother', in the ease of tha eld est daughter, who was about to married, sent her as a present a poison ed eake, which the daughter received and ate, and that fearing that this would not be fatal, she hastened to her, and finding ber prostrate, mixed more arsenio in the food she adminis tered. Such horrible depravity seems too great almost for belief. Old Flora Temple is in foal. FOREIGN. The Last Duel in Kurope. , There is a mixed railway train daily going through toAix-hvChapelle by the northern lice. ' A few days tgosoms three or four gentlemen' were seated in a first-class carriage of this train. One was the Count , a Prussian noble man, going to Berlin. He was con versing in s loud voice with a gentle man next him, giving a full account of some of the.political and warlike events of last year, and in that arrogantly offensive tone whioh is very character istic of the Prussian of tbe modern Bis mark school, ha swaggered overmuch at the expense of Austria. Another gentleman in the opposite corner of the carriage oonld Dot help over hearing this language, and he was .naturally muoh disgusted being the rsaron , an Austrian uoionoi. Indeed, at last the Baron, to get out of earshot or to cool his rage, opened the window aod put his head out. The Prussian complained of the oold, and at last peremptorily requested that the window be shut "Ion fear the oold," said the Baron, more enraged than even tWe shall see by-and-bywbether yon fear the fire." The Count under stood him. "Whenever yon like," said he. It so happens that this train stops an honr at Lille. The Baron ran to the barrack and introduced him self, told his story, and found two offi cers who oonsented to sot as his sec onds. The Count found two of his countrymen traveling on the train, who did the honorable needful for him. They fonnd the nearest retired place. but the whole of the passengers, who somehow got intelligence of the matter, followed them, and were present. Pis tols had been brought from the bar raoks. Tbe oom battanta were arranged at twenty-five paces from eaoh other. One of the seconds, standing ont. clap ped his hands three; times. At the third stroke bang! bang I both fell together. The Baron falls, his knee broken. The Prussian is not touched, but with contiuued arrogance he says, moving off, "Gentlemen, ex cuse me, bnt 1 am in a nurry to get home, and I must not miss the train." "Not yet not yet, if you please," said the Austrian Colonel, lifting himself from the ground, and pale and ghastly, standing on one leg, "one more round, if yon please." The Prussian beoame livid, but took his place again, They fired, and tbe Austrian shot bis mau through the brain. The Count sprung a foot from tbe ground, and fell down London Court Journal. Trouble in Holland. Tbe Pall Mall Gazette says: "Oir correspondent at tbe Hague writes on the 21st of December: 'The King of Holland has just taken a step tbe oon seqnenoes ot whioh may turn out to be mucn grayer man proDaoiy ne antici pates. In oonsequenoe of an adverse vote in tbe Second Chamber of the States-General, the Ministry tendered their resignations. The king took time for consideration, desiring the ministers to retain office in the mean while, and has now deoided not to part with them. The. Chamber has de liberately rejected the budget for' for eign affairs and passed censure on the minister of that department let the ing. setting aside tbe opinion of tbe Chamber, sends baok to it the minis ter ' whom ' it has condemned the strongest '' manner. He has, of coarse, the proper alterna tive of dissolving the Chamber, but it is still uncertain whether be will avail himself of it; there can be no doubt that the elections would put tbe gov ernment ia a worse rather than a bet ter position. The resolution of the King to retain bis ministers in defiance of the Second Chamber is said to have been come to after be bad consulted each member of the v First Chamber separately. The dispute between tbe Dutch government and tne urana Duobv of Luxemburg, as to the olaim by the former of an old debt of some seven million francs,- dating from the division of the debt between Heigium and Holland in 1831, still continues. The Dutch government has rejected the arbitration proposed by the Grand jjacny.;- Americans in Park. of of It is ludicrous to hear tbe sextons of churches or other officials of publio buildings hold forth in grandiloquent Frenoh to a crowd of Americans, mixed with a sprinkling of English. '.'What . , iima min 1 t ttil waa it be Baiur -wnat century r Who's portrait?" "Confound the festive cuss I who can understand his lingo?" are the expressions invariably beard in such orowds. It seems as though Paris was exhibited piecemeal to Americans, and Americans are con stantly paying odd francs for explana tions they cannot understand. Once in a while a forward American girl, or a gruff Englishman, is bold enough to interrupt the harangue with a question . in oroxen renon the . Frenchman, . . who invaria bly has . bis explanations by heart in set phrase, blows his nose deliberately, and, instead ot answeriug the question,' begins bis story over again from the beginning. One fat sexton at St Denis, who might serve aa a pattern in elignity and behavior, has, by dint of great application, learnt to pronouooe tbe single word "silver- gilt," and whenever he finds a fitting opportunity be pronounoes it at the end of his aentenoe onoo or twice by way of explanation, and evidently de rives great satisfaction from doing so. His audience, who do not understand his French, are equally nonplussed by his EneliKh. and look upon bim with their months open. He straightens bimself up and repeats "silvergilt" with the greatest gusto, and evident surprise at bis own abilities. , News from the Captives. of to to to be see The following ia from a letter by Lieutenant Prideaux, one of theEng lish prisoners s,t Magdala, on tbe 18th of October: We are all in good health, ' and anx loualy awaiting news about tne move- meats of oor deliverers.
