Of 'he most daring and ontrageou- rofmeries

' payment on some property to--'ay. and. the
tact becoming known to some of tint thieves
that are eyer to he found in a large city, they
resolved to secure the amount, and took their
measures accordingly Lasi evening, about
six o'clock, two men, disguised to women's
clothes, called at Mr. Hells with a view, as
then slated, of seeing the gentleman himself.
Airs. B. invited them in, and they passed
through the hall into the kitchen, where one
of them took a Beat, while lbs other stoodclose
by. apparently admiring some birds which
hung in n cage against the wall, but, in
reality, watching a favorable opportunity to
carry his villainous designs into effect. After
a short conversation, Mrs. Bell prof ceded to
resume her domestic duiie.-, and was passing
towards the cupboard, wheu she observed that
one of the females wore a beard: The dis
covery so alarmed her that she attempted to
flee, but was set/< d b/ntte bird-fancier ere she

having her now secure, harried up stairs and'
ransacked everything in the house, in search
of the coveted taLUOu. They were unable to find
it, however, Mr. B having very nisei* flepos
ned it some hours before, and had to content
ihemselies with some articles of jewelry and
a small amount of money, which they were
fortunate enough to secure. While engaged
in the search Up stairs the I*>ll was pulled vio
lently three times by a confederate outside
and this beinu the signal that. Mr. Bell was
approaching, they hurried down as quick aa
possible, and, passing through the kitchen
where Mm. Bell yet lay, gained access to an
alley in the rear of the house, and escaped.—-

Wife poisoner, recently hung in Xew York,
died in that city on Saturday. She was about
nine years of nge, and wa.s aa only child. The
Post says:
"She did mn fc her father for some time
previous to his execution, the circumstances
o: which seem to have borne heavily upon her
youthful mind, and probably induced fever
and death. She will be interred in the same
grave with her rather, designed originally for
the ashes of her mother. Thus, strangely the
entire family has passed away—the mother
murdered, the father hanged for the crime, and
the daughter killed by a broken heart.-' '
The Tribune says:
Several weeks previous to her death the
child, which waa in her 9th year, sickened
with scarlet rash, of which she had nearly re

deretood to have died worth six millions ol
dollars. I• is said he did not make any will,
and thai his heirs—nephews and illegitimate
children, who. however, were educated and
acknowledged by him—have wisely agreed to
enter into an arrangement for the division of
the large amount above stated, instead of going
to law about it. Twelve or thirteen years
since a Dr. Berdauge, whom seme say had been
grossly wrouged by a decision of the deceased,
who at the time was the President of the
"Tribunal of Commerce." while others declare
the Doctor had neen cheated iv some slave*
tradiug transaction, entered the church of Sin
Felipe in Havana, where l*ou Joaquin Gome*
was, and pouted a bot'le of vitriol upon his
(the deceaseds) head, some of which, running
into his eyes, iustautly deprived him of sight,
while the wouud iv flic ted ou the head never
healed. The doctor, after perpetrating this
deed, rushed into the gallery of the church,
and there swallowed a doso of prussic acid,
' which instantly deprived him of life. The do
ceased lingered all of these years deprived of

Hoyv it Worrs.—The English lawyers at
tribute the frequent elopement of wives who
havefortuues settled upon them, to the law
which allows the wife a provision separate j
from ber husband. A distinguished lawyer
writes to the Lmdou Times, that, iv thecourse
of a legal experience of nearly forty years, he
has seen a very large number ot cases of pri
vately art an ired separation between husband
and wife. In every case but one, the wile had
a provision independent of her husband; and
in almost every case ihe wife waa the chief
wrong-doer. Tho ladies would probably dis
pute tne facts upon which this witness'testi
mony rests. The jiolicy of the law is, however,
a subject of considerable discusaaion, and un
less rich women stop running off with their
100-men, It is likely thru it will be changed.

is«said to occur about once in a century, and

BrrwcTwor Inhai.im. (las.—Four net-sons
were so nearly suffocated by gas, at Toronto,
on the 12th lust., that constant effort for sever
al hours was required to restore them to con
seriousness. They were Mr. (Jp.t.g« Hender
son, his neice. Miss Elizabeth McLnn. Miss
Mary Kerr and a female servant. A gnsesipe
bad broken in the sireet near iho bouse,and
the gas worked its way into the dwelling. The
family had been annoyed by its odor during
the day, but the air was aotso largely impreg
aated wi'h ii as to cause any alarm, and they
retired to rest without taking any precautions.
The consequence was, before morning Ihey
were overpowered by the gas, and when a cab
man called in the morning tor Mr. Henderson,
he could rouse no one. The neighbors were
alarmed and brokeiato ihe house, when the
Inmates were all found apparently dead i:i
their beds. At last aceostau the recovery of
Miss Kerr was wry doubtful. It was not till
late in the afternoon that the others revived.

of sealing *.s.d, iv bank notes, from W. L.
Corbin, on ihe night of Iha Hthiuat. Mr c.
stated that as he was passing up I ith street, in
the direction of the Kichange Hotel, between
tn> hours of -and" oClock, two gentlemen
being only a few yards in advance oi him, thu
urisoner came up to his left side, ran his hand
into his left pocket, seized the roll r»f notes
and made off in the direction or Franklin
street. He siya be immediately pursued the,
robber, the gentlemen before him giving him
no aid, and followed him to the bar-room of
the Ballard House, where he recognized Jim.
The next morning he procured the ser\ ices of
ofllcer Seal, had the accused arrested and
searched, and found upou his person nl«>ut

for the defence, and proved conclusively that
Mr.C-rbln was mistaken, and that MM pris

with pleasant companions, such as the Young

themselves very nippy if nicy would. Tim
