RtTLOFF'S CONFESSION. 
The following is the substance of a confession 
made to Mr. E. II. Freeman of Binghamton by 
Ruloff, respecting the murder of the latter’s 
wife: 
On the 23d of June, 1815, Ruloff told his wife 
that he had got hold of a little raouey, and was 
going West to Und something to do. She said 
she would never go to Ohio, so far away from 
her family, and that if he went, she would take 
her child and go home. She was tiled, she said, 
of living with him anyhow, mid her mother was 
anxious for her to go homo. This made Ruloff 
angry, ami worths arose between them. lie ac¬ 
cused Harriet (his wife) of wauling to see Dr. 
Bull, und told her that she thought more of Bull 
than she did of him. She said that she had a 
right to do so if she wished, and (hat Bull was 
her cousin. He told her t hat she might go where 
she pleased, but Unit she should not take the 
child. Tie all (Mu plod to take the child away 
from her, and she clung to it. Iu his passion he 
reached for the pestle of Hie mortar in which 
he pounded medicines, and struck her with it 
over tho left temple. The blow broke her skull. 
She fell with the child in tier arms. 
Ruloff look the child and laid it upon the bed. 
He gave ii n narcotic to stop its crying. lie 
raised Harriet and placed her 60 that he could 
examine the wound. He tried to bring her to 
life. He administered every restorative he had 
at hand, and dressed the wound carefully. In 
Ins despair lie did not know what to do. He 
Dually decided to kill himself, aud prepared a 
poison for the purpose. He passed the uiglit 
alternately adopting and rejecting various 
plans. When daylight oamo lie realized the fact 
that something must be done at once. He pulled 
out and emptied a large chest. He wrapped his 
wife’s body in strong bed-ricking and then in 
two sheets. With great difficulty ho crowded 
her into the chest, lie also placed some llailrous 
and mortar into the elicst. About eleven o’clock 
he went over to a friend's aud borrowed a liorso 
and wagon. He put the chest with the body in 
it into the wagon, aud went toward Cayuga 
Lake. It was at one time hie inteutioo to drive 
into ltbnca, procure poison, and bury the body 
somewhere. He traveled by unfrequented roads 
into ilie town ot Ulysses, lie drove into the 
woods near the lake, and being tired, fell asleep, 
and was awaketiefl by hearing two persons con¬ 
versing. After tboy had passed, ho went to the 
lake aud looked nbont cautiously for a bout. He 
found one after a long search. He returned to 
the wagon, opened the chest, and took out the 
body, no tied the iron aud stones in the cloth¬ 
ing, and the clothing around the body. Then 
he placed his charge in the boat and rowed into 
the lake. He lifted the corpse over the side of 
the boat and dropped it into the water.

mer, and was Iu bathing with a younger com¬ 
panion who could not swim. Tho latter ven¬ 
tured beyond her depth, and In attempting to 
rescue her Maggie became exhausted. Her 
little brother hearing the cries of the girls, vrout 
to their aid in a bout. He rescued 1 he younger 
girl with the aid of his sister; but Maggie's ex¬ 
ertions to save the life of her companion took 
allother remaining strength, and she sank to 
the bottom. Before the body could be recover¬ 
ed life was extinct.

powder, some false whiskers, two copper sledges, 
steel bars, jimmies, iron wedges, bits, screw 
drivers, candle wieking, oil, two pistols, some 
handcuffs, and various other t riiles of a similar

modating burglar to bring bis handcuffs along 
with hliu—they lilted excellently.

WoncKSTEn, June 11.—A terrible tornado 
passed through the towns of Paxton, Holden and 
West BoyJrion this afternoon, at 4:30 o'clock, 
demolishing every building in its track and 
tearing up trees hy the roots. The first account 
of it received here was of its appearance in the 
town ol Paxton, where it demolished the barn 
of L. N. Purhliurst and blew off one gable of his 
dwelling house. From there it went in a north • 
easterly direction, aud blew down the buildings 
of Mr. Bigelow on the old town farm. Thence it 
went through the woods, sweeping all before it, 
aud striking the house und barn of Lewis Mar¬ 
tin in Holden, entirely demolishing both. Tho 
village of Holden was next taken In its destruc¬ 
tive march, and here fiv e barns, throe bouses, 
aud one earponter-shop were blown down.

rett, seriously. A strip of heavy stone wall, 
some twenty rods in length, was completely 
blown over, and large trees were blown thirty 
ruds, with upward of a ton of earth upon their 
roots. The tornado took but a moment for its

In Washington county, a few nights ago, 
Johnson Hammond was aroused from his sleep 
by his wife, who informed him that there were 
wolves about. Hammond rose, took his gun 
down from the joists above liia head, and excit¬ 
edly ran out, carrying the gun in his left hand, 
butt toward the dour. He ran about half a 
mile, when he saw a wolf, and in raising his gun 
to take aim at it. found it had been discharged, 
Returning to Ihe house, he entered, and ihcrc 
stood four of his children crying, the eldest of ' 
whom said, “ Papa, papn, mamma's dead.” He, 1 
almost f ran lie, rushed to the Ik Aside, and found 
his wife a corpse, her right breast pierced with 
a bullet. His infant, who had been sleeping be¬ 
side the mother when he left tho house, was ca¬ 
ressing her dead body. It issupposed that when 
Hammond rushed out at the door, the lock or 
trigger ol'the gun caught outlie jamb and was i 
discharged, the contents lodging in the breast 
of the deceased. Hammond swears he heard no 
report of the discharge of the gun. A coroner’s 
jury acquitted him of all blame.

BRIOHAM YOUNG AS SEEN BY TOWNSEND. 
Gkoiige At, freii Townsend, writing from 
Sail Lake, says of Brlglmra Young:—* 1 With his 
hair nicely oiled In ringlets und falling around 
Ids heavy neck, hair and beurd luxuriant, und 
but a little turned in color, a pair oT silver spec¬ 
tacles iu his hand, aud his manner all bland, 
from his half-closed eyes to the poise of his 
knees and feet, Brigham Young soothes man¬ 
kind with 8eignoral hospitality. We arc all in¬ 
troduced, except one young man, who steps 
forward and says: * As there is nobody to make 
me acquainted, here Is my card, President. 
Young.* ‘It is unnecessary, sir,’ replica Brig¬ 
ham ;* quite needless 1 Be seated.* We see that 
lie is more perfectly at home than anybody in 
the crowded room, and that he has a hard, per¬ 
emptory v oice, plausibly toned down to recep¬ 
tion necessities. Looking not more than sixty 
years of age, he is past that period by half a 
score, and still may have twenty years to live, 
or a wonderfully robust constitution, equal to 
all tho responsibilities of polygamy, of sclf- 
pridc, cool self-management and sell-will, with 
an education chiefly religious, and an aptness 
and ardor for power and avarice, Young is won¬ 
derfully devised for organizing an ignorant and 
solemn people, and compelling them to be pro¬ 
ductive und docile.”

North Carolina. 
Roaring Gap, Wilkes co„ June 10.—A sad 
accident occurred in this county, recently, 
which resulted in the death of an estimable 
young lady and dangerous injuries to her hus¬ 
band. About nine miles from this village, near 
the Toot of the Blue Ridge, rises an abrupt peak, 
known as Rock Mountain, the sides of which are 
very precipitous, but with a narrow plateau ou 
its summit, which isa favorite resort during the 
summer months for the citizens and strangers 
sojourning in the neighborhood. Recently a 
young man named A thins, tt native of this coun¬ 
ty, but lately mttrrled, paid a visit to the peak, 
accompanied by his wife and several friends. 
After spending several hours on the summit, 
the party were returning home—the newly- 
married pair holding each other by the hand— 
when the husband lost his foothold and began 
sliding down a steep declivity toward a preci¬ 
pice, dragging Ids wife utter him. They both 
cried for assistance, but before their astonished 
companions could tender their aid the unfortu¬ 
nate pair were precipitated to the valley be¬ 
neath, a distance of six hundred feet. When 
found, the body of Mrs. Atkins was dreadfully 
mangled, but, strange to say, Mr. Atkins is still 
alive, and hopes are entertained of his recovery.

NO I SSI.Tnr.ENTB SHOT WITH MIT It AtLLEUSES. 
Paiuk, Juno 14. The Official Journal of to¬ 
day says that the story that condemned insur¬ 
gents have been shot in the Boisde Boulogne 
with mitrailleuses is an odious and absurd cal¬ 
umny. 
MILITARY COURTS at VERSAILLES. 
The correspondent of the London Times, May 
31, says:-The military tribunals for the vulgar 
class of insurgents aro iu full swing. Five of 
them sit e/t permanence in (he camp stables of 
Satory, which are also used as a Hospital. They 
get Through I heir work with amazing celerity, 
if one can Judge from the numbers of prisoners 
of both sexes sent from Versailles last night and 
this morning to Brest, rn route for Cayenne. 
Three tribunals are actively engaged at St. Cyr, 
and two In tho Orangerie; for all the vaults un¬ 
der the garden terraces nrr packed with cap¬ 
tured Nationals. The leaders of the Insurrection 
(ire being tried before courts-martial sitting in 
the cavalry barracks. Two men-of-war, tho 
Villc de Bordeaux and ibe Napoleon, are in 
readiness to start with Hie defeated Coramunuls 
from Brest. To meet the contingency of the 
fresh convict population which is pouring into 
Cayenne, growing restive, M. Thiers is thinking 
of appointing Keratry Governor of French 
Guiana and ihe French Antilles. Keratry is not 
an organizer, us he fully proved at Conlie. But 
he is a very determined man. The most fright¬ 
ful feature of those ttuushttionB to Cayenne is 
the certainty that no attempt will be made to 
raise the droves of human beings going out 
there* into colonists. 
THE ORLEANS PRINCES. 
The Official Journal denies the report that the 
Orleans Princes dined with M. Thiers, and says: 
The Prince de Joluville and Ihe Duo d'Auraule 
visited M. Thiers unexpectedly. During the in¬ 
terview Hie President said that although he was 
once a Minister in the Government of their 
father. King I.ouis Philippe, lie was to-day the 
head of Hie Republic. There was nothing signi¬ 
ficant in the visit of tho Princes. They under¬ 
stand the past, and accept the present. M Thiers 
did himself honor by his bearing during the in¬ 
terview, and the Republicans were unembar¬ 
rassed in the presence of those noble and illus¬ 
trious Princes. 
The French press generally, with the excep¬ 
tion of the religious journals, ridicule the efforts 
of Hie Frond) Bishops to commit Franco to tho 
restoration of the Pope's temporal power. They 
pronounce the question settled, aud declare that 
France can not interfere. A report, which Iuib 
been extensively circulated in France, that the 
Italian Government had demanded the recall of 
the Duke d'Hnrcourt, the French Embassador to 
Rome, is positively contradicted. 
Persons arriving from Paris say half has not 
been told of the troubles in that city, aud that 
the destruction of life und property immensely 
exceeds both the Government and newspaper 
a coo tints. The workmen of Paris are almost 
unanimously Communists. They are very bitter 
because their cause has been defeated, and hate 
both Thiers und the Bouupurlos. Many of them 
will emigrate to America. Charred corpses have 
been found iu the ruins of Ihe Hotel de Villa, 
and are undoubtedly the remains of prisoners 
leti in the cells hy the Communists. 
German Soldiers visiting Paris are occasional ly 
insulted iu tho streets, aud have been refused 
seats at the tables in the restaurants.

England, 
London, June 14.— The Times, to-day, says of 
the Treaty of Washington that it was not Eng¬ 
land alone who yielded some of her claims. The 
United States also made great concessions. The 
Times considers it unprecedented that such a 
grave difference between nations as the Ala¬ 
bama Claims should have been Battled without 
a resort to arms. The demand for consequen¬ 
tial damages for the injury done to American 
commerce by the Alabama and kindred vessels 
was unacceptable to the Euglish Commission- 
sioners, and was abandoned b.y the United 
States. The Times, in conclusion, expresses the 
hope that, taking pattern from the adjustment 
of Hie American question, the nations of Eu¬ 
rope will rise to a higher conception uf the aims 
and ilutieB of International fellowship. Earl de 
Grey aud Ripou is to be created a Marquis of 
Ripon in consequence of his distinguished ser¬

not whether the cog-wheels are on one end or 
both ends of the shaft ; if large articles discon¬ 
nect them, they are entirely ageless. This i.< 
very important, for ns the larger the iTrt>H p i 
greater the strain, therefore if the cog-wle?ela 
separate so as to disconnect, they are of no 
service when most needed. Wo luivo token

proved, because it lias long and strong gear-

MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New York, Saturday, June 17, 1871. 
Since our last report there has been a further ad¬ 
vance in Gold to 1 per cent. The amount 
in the control of the Banks and Bunkers is reduced to 
about $16,000,000 out of die $70,000,000 held in tiie 
Treasury, The Secretary scents disposed to hold his 
over balance of $74,000,000 undiminislied until he pay 
the July Interest, which amounts on the U. S., 5. 
and other Public Stocks to $17,695,000. His present 
weekly sales arc not equal to his current receipts for 
customers, so that the speculators for an advance in 
price have fair opportunity to operate on the 011- 
parativc scarcity in the open market, and of this, th y 
arc availing themselves. At the Treasury sale, day 
before yesterday, they secured $1,850,000 of the two 
millions sold, at 112.3a per cent, aud immediately sent 
up the price to xia-tg per cent, charging a bonus ol' 
{ pet cent, a day for the use of the Gold when they 
lend in place of selling it. 
The Public Stocks of the United Slates arc gene¬ 
rally firm and owing to die cheapness ol Money they 
arc not offered with much freedom. The 5.el 
1867 are 114'j, including July coupon, and the 18 \ 
112% including interest since May 1. The old 5s, 1 - 
40s. are itojdj including interest since March 1, a 
the New Loan 11 \% including interest since May 1. 
The Southern States Bonds are partially lower; 
New York 7 per cents, are fair and scarce at 1 : 
per cent, including July interest. The Pacific kail 
Road Bonds are steady at 102 for the Centrals, >r 
the Unions and 91 for the Missouri Pacific. Missouri 
State Bonds are firmer and lighter. 
I11 the Railway shares the speculation of the week 
is very fitful, and upon the whole prices arc lower 
than on our last report- The Northwest Stock-; arc 
now dealt in Ex-June Dividend of 5 per cent, h- 
change on London is easier, and the export of 0 d 
comparatively light, partly because of the scarcity uf 
Gold.
