A gentleman from Kiskatom, in the town of Catskill, has given us the fol- lowing particulars of a most appalling tragedy: r "0n‘Setui-day last, John E. Edwards, a lad aged fifteen years, living in the family of his uncle, John W. Hunger- ford, ested permission of the wife of Mr. . . use a‘ double barreled gun, which was in the house, for the purpose of seeking game. Permission being _ granted, they both shortly after left the prcrliieee,-in different directions, when Edwards soon returned, and commenced breaking open all the drawers and chests irrwhich be supposed there were two hundred dollars, which Mr. Hiingerford had received a few days previous. Not finding the money, be loaded the gun with slugs and shot, and deliberately fir- ed the contents of one of the barrels in- to the breast of his uncle, who had by this time reached the house. Hunger- ford fell, pleading for life, when the young fiend again presented the gun and snapped it. Mr. H. partially recovered and lied, pursued by EdWards, who again fired, with fatal effect. He then return- ed to the house, placed. the gun in its usual place, and escaped from the bloo- dy scene. Litile hopes are entertained of Iluugerfoi-d’s recovery. , Since the above was in type, we learn that the boy Edwards was arrested at the oyster saloon of Peter Lyoii,Catakill, on Monday last. 1-Iungeiford, it ‘is tho’: will not recover.

We presume . l, .3 aite generally understood that -‘ er.-.= keepers, grocers and other dealers may sell till the fourth of July. This is not so. The selling of liquor in quanti- ties less than five gallons, except for "mechanical, cbemical,‘or medicinal pur- poses, or for sacramental use,” will be illegal after the first Monday of May.- We will explain the grounds on which we have arrived at this conclusion. By our present laws (independently of the prohibhion bill) liquor cannot legal- ly be sold in quantities less than five gal- lons without a license to sell oiiihe prem- ises, or a‘ grocer’a license to sell by small measure, to be carried away. By the terms of the new law, it is provided that "section twenty-fifth shall iakeetfecr im- mediately." A part of section twenty- ty-fifth reads as follows: "No license to sell liquor, except as herein provided, shall hereafter be granted." It therefore follows that the usual li- cense, authorized by prior laws, and which expire on the first Monday of May cannot be renewed, and that the old laws prohibiting "the sale of liquor in quantities less than five gallons without license, will be operative and subject the seller to their penalties of ‘ line and im- prisonrnent. But, by the new law, the second sec- tion is to take effect on the 1st day of May, and that section authorizes the eel- ling of liquor on certain peculiar coiidi- tions. _ Any voter, "of good moral char- acter,” who is not the keeper of a tavern grocery. or any place of public entertain- ment, &c., &c., may, on giving a bond, and taking an oath that_"he does not use intoxicating liquors as a beverage," and will not violate the law, “sell intoxicating liquor and alcohol, for mechanical, chemical or medicinal pur- poses, and wine for sacramental uae."—- Sucb sales, in any quantities, may be made, as above, under the second section from 1st of May. . The result is. that liquor in quanti- tities less than live gallons cannot be sold as a beverage after the first Monday of May. The penalties against it, until July 4th, will be those of the old law, and not of the .new—-that is, a forfeiture of $25 for each sale, and the liability to be indicted for a misdenieanor, punisha- ble by a fine not exceeding $250, or im- prisonment not exceeding six months, or both. . On and after July 4 there is no law against keeping liquor on_ sale, except that the twenty-fifth section of the new act, which declares it “a public nuisance,” is already in operation. What the effect of this will be between May 1 and July 4, and whether it will give any citizen the right to abate the "nuisanco,” -we will not now undertake to discuss.- We subjoin the twenty filth section 2-- -‘ Sec 25. No license to sell liquor, ex- captas herein provided, shall hereafter be granted. All liquor kept in violation of any provision or provisions of this act shall be deemed, and is hereby declared to be a public nuisance. .

According to information received from Russian deserters, the Emperor's death had not promulgated at Sebasiopol. Omar Pacha arrived in the allied camp on the 12th.

I feel inclin- ed to do sornetlling to help on my con- summation so devoutly to be wished. I have got possession of some facts -which I think ought to be k_nowii to the Amer- ican people; snd as 1 have occasionally written for yourjjournal, during the ma- ny years that I have spent in Europe, I trust. you will not consider the informa- tion I now communicate as unworthy of a place in your columns. Before I came abroad the last time, I ascertained that at the various custom houses of the United States nearly three times as much champaigne was entered for the payment of duty as the custom houses of France showed had been ex- ported to the United States. Now, this fact demonstrates, first, two bottles out of every three of champagne brought into the United Suites are spu- rious; second, I learned that five times as much champagne is sold in the Uni- ted Siaies as is imported into our coun- try, Now if N. York sold all the chain- pagne that is now sold in the United States, this would only give us one hot- tle in ten of genuine champagne. If we go a little further, and take the whole quantity of qhampagne made in France, and examine the records of exporting houses, as well as custom houses, we shall find that the poorer qualities only with few exceptions are sent to Ameri- ca. And if we scan the matter still more closely, We shall find that not one bottle, in a hundred drank by the Americans is of the best quality made in the cham- pagne districts. It would not be extrav- agant to reduce this eajmate one half. I have been speaking only of past vin- tages, say for five years. The vintages of three years ago were good. For three ycars they have been bliglited,- while this year the champagne crop has been cut oifto such an extent that there is not one tenth of the usual cl'op'— Scarcely any of the best quality will find its way to the great wine cellars. Near-* ly all the best qualities of French wine have this year risen fifty per cent.; con- sequently none but the first class dealers can furnish their usual supply of genu- ine champagne. Great houses like Cli- quot, Billecari. Salmon, Schreider, Rul- nart, 4830., will find their brands imitated and forged to a greater extent than ever I visited some of these establishments; but the one which seems most exempt from the wine blight, is that of Billccart. Ispezik of this house because, during several years of residence in Europe, I have found their champagne more high- ly prized iii the basic circles than any other. For the Gazelte.

In a iieigliboriiig. village there has been established within the past six months, a Legitimate Savings Bank.—- The projectors of’ tlic Iiistitutioii intend- ed that it should be what it purports to be, “a Bank for the Savings of those who have moderate incomes,‘ and desire to place it where it will be secure, and at the same time produce them a reaso- nable return.” The reaidents 0.6 the place had no doubt that such an Institu. tion, if properly condiicted, would be of substantial benefit to those whd might‘ make deposits ‘therein. Some of them however, expressed doubts whether there was any considerable amount of money in the hands of the people to be disposed of in this manncr.., ‘Some few of tlieinhabitanls venturedia guess that the deposits would be so small that -it would not require much time or care to invest them. One, for instance thought 3100 might be received the first six months, another $500, _a few $2,000 to $3,000. one or two liowever, ventured to name $10,000, and only two above that sum.

Ghost of John niarsiiaii .-......~.,;.. We are now upon the full tide of Ste.-.:.~.iboat excitement again, and our people ai prom- ised pleasant trips and low fares for the com-. lug season, notwithstanding the special strin- gency of our railroad _coi_'poratioii. We give to-day, the letter of Mr. Collins, written in defence of his posilion—it having been assert- ed that lie was acting in collusion with the New Haven Railroad. Mr. C. asserts his in- tention of moving his family among us and identifying himself with the interests of the town, as much as possible. His boat is cer- tainlya good one, and a rapid sailer. On the other hand, we give a letter from parties con- nected with the George Law, a good boat, and to be commanded by Capt. Shaw, a gentleman well and favorably known by our citizens, as every way qualified for his post. We sincere- ly hope a compromise will be effected between the belligerent parties themselves, so that the boat best adapted for this route, may remain on it and be sure of a good business. A Public convenience. Our Merchants and others will find them- selves materially coiivenienced by the estab- lishment of Mr. Cliolwell’a Packet Express, be- tween this town and New York City. He goes up and down in the Steamboat John Hart, for the special purpose of attending to any busi- ness that may be intrusted to his care. Our people will find it convenient also, to‘procure from the N. Y. Markets any little delicacy which the appetites may crave in advance of the season. all of which matters he will faith- ully attend to. c Believing that this enterprise will be a great public convenience, we hope it will be sus- tained. Bequests. We learn that Mrs. Sarah Gregor, whose death we recorded last week, bequeathed $3000 to St. Pauls Church in this town, and 315000 to Trinity College of Hartford. flgricsiltural, Implements.

Nash, of South Norwalk. has very materially lessened the pressure of the " Hard Times” by the timely “ sending in” of one of his celebrated Sugar Cured Hams. They are of most exquisite flavor and beautiful appearance, whatever be the mode of curing. Bull the feature of these Hams are that he sells them some two cents per pound less than is charged for other,-—anrl in our opinion deci- dedly inferior kinds,——al: other Stores. They are prepared -by Messrs. Cape 8: Halsey, 263 Broomi-.-St., N. Y., whose reputation for aplen- didly cured meats, is abroad in the land‘. Give Nash a. call and try one of his Eggs-traordinw ry Hams. "75oNcEn'r.‘" Doii’t fall to attend the Concert. given by H. M. Prowitt’s Juvenile Class. John Hart. Ma. Eniroii.-—_Having bedn informed that some malicious and evil disposed parties have busied themselves in circulating false reports in relation to my Steamboat John Hart, and my intentions, viz: that the Boat is old, &:c., and that I am employed by the New York £- New Haven Railroad Company to run my boat on this route for the purpose of defeating oth- er parties. I will now proceed to answer in order. First, the Steamboat John Hart was built in the year I847, by Messrs. Lawrence dc Sneeden, Ship Builders of New York, by day’s work, and no expense was spared to make her what she is—a. staunch, strong and sound sea boat. Her engines were ‘built (for her ex- pressly,) by the well known Engine Builder, Jain. P. Alluire, Eaq., of New York, and the said Boat is capable, without being driven, to make the run from this place to New York in three hours time, (average time). With. regard to being employed b other parties as named above—it is false. have 0 never yet, nor will I ever, lend myself to any party or parties, for any such base or villain- oils purposes. My intention is to run the John Hart regularly, the ear through, between this place and New oi-k, and shall at all times endeavor to make as‘ quick time as I can for the safety of my passengers and interests and wellfare of the traveling and freighting public of tlilsand the towns adjacent. I shall never permit my Boat to be raced with any other Boat, deeming it best to act thus for the security of the lives of my passengers. If the Public will refer to my bills and advertise- ment ihey will see that I leave Peck’s Dock at 8 o’clock A. M... in order to give Passengers by the Danbury Railroad xi chance to avail themselves of the Boat. I shall make nn1ai1d- ing betwecn this place and New York. I have not been a. day or a week in niaking up my mind in establishing this line. I should have started last sprivig could I have procured a suitable boat—-and during the past year my Pilot-, (Mr. Abm. Benson, well known‘ as ii. Pi- lot second to none othcr,) and myself, have ex- amined over 60 Steamboats for the purpose of procuring one suitable fortliis roule in every respect, I think I have at last found_ one in the John Hart-. I did not come up to Norwalk to get people to sign any petitions or papers, to be sure, but wlienl was I‘eftd¥)€'.l‘ld prepailedto act, I made known to the ublic my inten- tions. I, alone, am the only person interested in the eiiterpri.=.e, and what I tell the public I will do, I will faithfully perform. I have no owners or employers to consult,in the matter. I am on the route fully prepared to accommo- date the Traveling and Freight-iri_g Public.-— Villainous elforts were niadle in New York to revent if ossib c my getting my ggatiggng when the}? found that the matter liud been closed ii mouth or more, an attempt was made to levy on me, Black Jl!ai'I, ziiiil finding that they could not be successful in that, they have attempted to circulgitc lying reports, for the cxpr is purpose of _iiijui'ing my business. This will be the last time I slmll condescend to notice any .‘3i.iCl1 reports, but shall proceed‘ to do my duty faithfully and straight-l‘oi‘v.'ai'<l for the iiccommocliition of the Traveling and Freighting public of this vicin- ity and trust to make my line stand as lifgh in ’ilie estimation of this community as ‘inc Collin’s Ocean Line does with the AU)9i‘lC;lll people. My Motto is, to do -wfiat I say.’ ' izl clcsing, I would thank the piiblicfor the izii. est thus far taken in my enterprise, and la‘.-7-y may rest assured that I will stand_b_v their. so long as they stand by me.

CG‘ Oii the eve of retiring from this profession of editor, one of the many privileges we lose is that of easy and friendly communication with our“breth- ren of the press.” Such being the case, we will take the opportunity to tell Bro. Byington, the curly headed and good na- tured editor of the Norwalk Gazette, that the "Sumatra Game Cock,” With his attendant hen, arrived in first rate shape, and the Rooster is now the glory' of an extensive Barn Yard in this vi- cinity. His clarion crow is loud and shrill, and his spurs are now and then reddened with the stains of his sanguin- ary combats. We think considerable of him, and feel assured that like the donor of him, he is "game” to the gills ! The half terrier, half spaniel pup, which we sent as a return courtesy, we know s but a poor exchange for your fowls. But in the words of the illustri- ous Cap’n Cuttle, "it came from the heart, my boy, and wot’s the use of cer- emony ?” If we do not like to acquire the subriquet of “puppyism” as the re- sult of inipudenl; and trifling demeanor, we need none of us to be ashamed to emulate the dog in his unfailing courte- sy and attachment to his master ; but hold, let us not imitate _ “The hard whosoared to eulogize an ass.-” lest some unkind cotemporary may sug- gest tlfat , “A fellow-feeling makes us wondrous kind 1” Wvinsted Herald. fl“ Never bosch your head abo’t it man. Like Rowland Hill, we "‘wouldn’t give nip- ence for any man’s Christianity, whose dog wasu’t the better for it.” We “wouldn’t en- ter on our list of friends,” the man who could not love a horse, dog, or even Rooster, and its no weakness in owning up to it, friend Stedman. By the way, that little spaniel zir- rived per Adams & Co., in good condition and excellent spirits. and though like his former master, small in corporeal dimensions, lie can bar}: as loud as the biggest ‘of them. The only difficulty we have yet experienced, has been in vain efforts to curb the apparently uncontrolableinflituation he has of making himself useful, resulting in the destruction of everything he ctinlay paws upon. He having evinced a strong preference for female society (the result of early training we presunie.) we have turned him over to it committee of young Ladies, who have his education now in charge, from which arrangement we are encouraged to hope for the happiest results. We grow sad, however, as we contemplate the fact that our “dog must have his day,” and your “cock frighten the witches away in the morning,” and you out of the harness, and unable to “make a note of it.” But there’a consolation in knowing “a Divinity shapes our ends,” and while you rise to the dignity of one of the “sovereign people,” and we remain the “pub- lic servant,” a reineuibrence of your former estate‘ will draw out your commiseratiomand prevent any haughtiness of demeanor. _ ‘‘So (are thee well May Heaven ble ss thee, &c.” Our New York correspondence. New Yomr, April 13th, 1855. Liquor—I mean the word, not the ar- ticle—-ls in everybody’s mouth here,-- The enactment of the prohibitory law has created what the penny.a-liners call an“'immeiisc sensation,” and the amount of bar-room logic expended upon the subject is enormous. Prohibition being a dry topic, is moistened by frequent applications to the decanter and the tap. Qpinions differ. Some say the law will be quietly carried out, others that it will be resisted to the death. Then there is much talk about injunctions, unconsti. _tutionality, loop holes, in the statute, and theolike. The liquor dealers and topers are wrath against the "rural dis. tricts,” and daily consign the representa. tives thereof, through whoseagancy the bill was passéd, to a place not mentloiia. ble to cars polite. One thing is certain, viz.: that if money could have stran. gled the ‘measure, execution would have been done upon it. Its death warrant would have commanded $100,000, hm it survives, and if not a monument of the incorruptibility of our legislature, ii is at least 8 proof that in this instance they were not corrupted. Mayor “food says the law cannot be enforced in this city without an augiiieiitation of the po- lice. This I believe. Indeed ‘ it is not probable that it will ever be ‘strictly en- forced iu this polyglot and not very mor- al metropolis, but the worst drinking dens, the corner groggeiies and porter- houses will unquestionably be closed.——— » I believe that the latest threat of the liquorites is that they will petition Con- gress ic divide the Slate, and thereby cut off the rural districts from New York city, and Brooklyn, as it punisl__i- merit for iiifiicting the "iinconatitutiona!” curse of proliibitloii upon a million or so of people troubled ‘\Vll‘.l1,C0l1’:‘ill.llllOllEll tlilrst. This is all tall:—afr.er the glori- ous Fourth, it will be “all talk and no cider.” By the way it has been discovered that the bperatioii of the law will com- mcnce on the 2d of May, instead of the Fourth of July. The act says that the present liquor licensee shall not be re- newed, and as they all expire on the 1st proxlmo, it follows that the existing excise law, ‘which forbids the sale of in- toxicatiugdriult in less quantities than l live g‘r\l_:0l"A:rA '-vflirlrl -Llicli »..'t‘i:lu.-.i‘v'cly oliiiiiii.

New Jersey is iilieljz to have its popu- tion undesirably aiigmcnicd in cones» quence of the crusade against “.‘~‘ll-’3D_é;:‘ women" now in progress here. Several keepers of improper houses are prepar- ing to remove their household gods. (avid goddesses) to Hobokezi and Jersey city. Many of the liquor dealers are likewise preparing to depart for the non abate. -merit region. The case of John 3. Holmes for the manslaughter of policeman Gourley, has been given to the jury in the Court of Sessions. Probably the verdict will be rendered to day. Holmes who was a candidate for Alderman was on an elec- tioneering spree at the time the 0591238’ was committed. He stabbed Goutley, while the latter was ei-irleavoring to se- cure him. Hon.

In the Times of yesterday, a Catholic booksel- ler proposes to supply the books, and offers to begin with "Opie on Lying.” If Brooks is the sort of a man to laugh at a good joke at his own expense -and I think he is--he could not have ii finer opportunity. The Opera House is filled nightly at the reducedprices, parquet and dress been brought out creditably, with new scenery and effective choruses. The troupe is a very efficient one, with the exception of Pvimis donna, assol-um Steffanone, whose voice has lost its richness, ‘dad who is apt to become indis- -pased towards the conclusion at‘ the per- formance. . \ Our Theatres are well attended. Last evening_Coleman’s fina Comedy of “the Heir at Law,” was re-produced at Wal- lacks’ with a most effective cast, and a. perfection of stage appoinimenis to be found at no other Theatre in the coun- try._ Daniel Dowlas, Tallow Chandler, who suddenly finds himself a "Pear," ac lie spells it, of the realm, can have no- better representative than Mr. Blake, and M}. Brougham’s Dr. Danglop, L, L, D A. S. S. revives most vividly the- starch and Buckram toadyisin of the old time‘ race of tutors now happily extinct. Thai splendid Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Brevoort House, has proved a disas- trous failure. It utterly swamped poor Judson, late of the New York Hotel, absorbing; in a few months the eamin s of his life, and reducing him from iii position of landlord to that of clerk.-— Only think of the fiimitiire of the estab- lishment, which cost $100,000, being knocked down to Stewart (who I sup- pcse was a heavy creditor) for $28,000. The departure of Commodore ‘Me. Cauley. in the San Jacinto, for Havana, with (it is believed) very belligerent iri- smictioris, occasions quite a stir among our "Fillibustei-s.” Many think there will be a war with Spain. Buinbugl Spain knows better. Wonderful, and to me incredible, sto- ries of the phenomena witnessed in a. ‘circle of “rappers,” known as the "mir- acle circle," have tempted me to apply for admission to the pcrformanc es.-~ There are, it isssaid, five hundred names on the application list, but as my name is nearly “up head,” I expect an early invitation, and after seeing what there is to be seen, will state my experience for the amusement, instruction or astonish- ment (as the case may be) of your read- ers. Some of the -‘don’t ” belles have adop- ted tho Spanish Cavalier boots will come to s, I suppose.
